Chapter 29 A real man should keep his word~
"Everyone~ Long time no see~"
Mingming stood under the locust tree at the door, wearing a casual loose beige shirt, high heels and wide-leg pants, which made her look more mature. Her hair was rarely loose, and a khaki bag was hanging on her arm.
There were several gift bags of various sizes placed beside him.
——I met Mingming who had just returned at the entrance of the technical college.
Xia Yujie and Gojo Satoru, who had quarreled with each other for half a bullet train, stopped talking at the same time. They looked at each other first, baring their teeth to show their intimidation, and then turned to look at Mingming.
"The souvenirs are here~" She picked up the gift bag at her feet.
——Miss Mingming, who is so stingy, actually took the initiative to send a souvenir? ?
The four were horrified.
"Oh, the glass one is here. There's no room there." She rummaged around and handed over another gift.
——I bought four copies? ?
The four of them were horrified.
Something is wrong—ten or even nine points wrong!
Several people exchanged glances and saw confusion and disbelief in each other's eyes.
This is so abnormal! It's like a demon.
"Huh? Why didn't anyone answer? Don't you like it?" Mingming was a little distressed and stroked his cheek aggrievedly.
I have to say, it is indeed a bit pitiful. The usually a-spirited sister looks quite pitiful in this state——
The four of them gritted their teeth and decided to go all out - they were willing to die in the land of tenderness! After all, falling on the lap of a beauty was much more comfortable than being buried in the cold earth...
Seeing that they finally accepted the gifts, Miss Mingming was obviously pleased: "Then we will continue the physical training next week, don't forget--"
Mingming clapped his hands lightly to inform others.
Gone?
That's it?
Zundu and fake toot?
——If Su Ze said that Miss Mingming was blocking them at the door simply to give them some souvenirs, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.
This is not just a matter of judging others with a petty mind - because to have such subjective initiative to do something, it must have satisfied one of his own needs - and for a miser like Mingming, it must be profitable!
So where does she profit?
Will merchants give rebates for giving gifts?
——Would she be interested in such a small profit?
There is a secret behind the gift. She eats everyone and sends them to the hospital. Then she takes out the antidote and asks for compensation?
——That’s not how it’s performed in the storybook!
Master Su pinched his fingers, twisted his brows, and pretended to calculate something.
"How is it, Master Ze?" Glass came closer to him, looking nervous.
"——The hexagram is unclear, yin and yang are out of balance, and the future is unpredictable..." Su Ze was a little panicked, and spoke half nonsense and half seriously.
——You know what, it quite looks like that.
-
"Um, Miss Mingming, is there anything else I can help you with?"
Eventually, under the power of the crowd, Xia Youjie was pushed out for questioning.
"Ah!" Mingming acted as if she suddenly realized something, "There is indeed one more thing..." She turned her head and slowly took off the long bag on her back.
Everyone unconsciously moved closer to the long bag.
Mingming slowly unzipped his pants, and a cold breath blew in his face, making Glass shiver.
It's a Japanese sword.
The scabbard is blue to black, with dark cloud patterns carved on it. The handle is heavy and simple, and the handle is wrapped with a rope made of special materials.
(See comments for winding styles)
The blade is long and narrow, with a slightly raised front end, but it doesn't look old or worn... because the entire knife is shiny and has no patina at all.
Sharp, murderous - even hard to look at.
Su Ze narrowed his eyes.
Mingming held the knife horizontally in front of him and let several people watch.
"...Ms. Mingming, which knife?" It was Su Ze who asked first.
"It was made by one of the most powerful swordsmiths in the world of curse." Mingming raised her red lips and said in a charming voice, "It is extremely rare and there is only one of its kind."
It seemed that the breathing sound became heavier.
"——So, Miss Mingming showed it to us because...?" Su Ze took a deep breath and asked softly.
"Of course it's business~" Mingming smiled even more.
really!
Su Ze felt relieved now.
Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru came to their senses and stood up straight.
"I spent quite a bit of money to get this...it almost emptied my family's savings~" Mingming complained.
"Such a good knife, why doesn't Miss Mingming use it yourself?" Xia Yujie asked, as he was very thoughtful.
"Because it's not suitable--" Mingming put his hands on his waist, lowered his head and gently stroked the blade, "This thing feels light in my hand, I prefer weapons with texture."
"Besides - it's a bit of a waste for a warlock with a maximum limit of level one to use it." She raised her head and glanced at the three people in turn, as if referring to something.
They were silent for a while, lost in thought.
"So...what do you think?" Mingming asked, tilting her head. She looked at Gojo first.
"It's a good sword... but it's not suitable for me." Gojo Satoru closed his eyes and looked up, "... using it will not be conducive to my 'Tao'."
After spending a long time with Su Ze, I have learned a lot of these mysterious words.
In the past, he would probably just say, "This sword is good, but it's still far inferior to my unlimited skills."
But then again, the word "Mingming" in the Dayan dictionary has a rather weird and supernatural feel, which roughly means "destined" or "in the dark".
Ming Ming pouted slightly, not too surprised, and then looked at Geto Suguru.
"I do need a close combat weapon - and this sword is absolutely top-notch." Xia Yujie gently stroked the narrow blade.
Mingming showed a look of joy, as Xia Youjie was originally her secret buyer.
After all, neither Su Ze nor Gojo Satoru have an urgent need for weapons. Gojo's unlimited techniques naturally avoid close combat, and Su Ze's moves are even more powerful without a sword.
As for the glass...
Who can get past those three and touch her?
"...Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to like me." Xia Youjie gave an even more mysterious answer.
"Huh?" Mingming was shocked.
"——Geto, are you serious?" She forced herself to remain calm and asked carefully.
"Of course, I control so many cursed spirits, so I know exactly what they are thinking." Xia Youjie said with a cheerful smile.
"...I understand." Miss Mingming, who had a great reputation throughout her life, was very depressed. She had never been so depressed even in the bloody stock market.
If she returns it, she doesn't know how much extra money that guy will ask her to pay. And the shipping fee alone cost a lot of money...
My heart is bleeding.
"Miss Mingming——"
A calm voice interrupted her thoughts.
She looked up subconsciously.
"How much do you want to sell this knife for?"
Su Ze asked with a firm look in his eyes.
Mingming was stunned at first, then smiled and said softly:
"1.5 billion yen."
Except for Su Ze, the other three were shocked.
Su Ze chuckled and shook his head slowly: "Miss Mingming is joking."
"Of course we can negotiate any price Mr. Su wants~" Mingming's voice was soft, and he didn't care at all.
Suze spread his thumb and index finger.
“Eight hundred million…? I’m afraid not.” Mingming frowned slightly and declined with regret.
"Not 800 million." Su Ze shook his head again.
"——It's 800 yen."
The scene suddenly became quiet. The atmosphere seemed to have cooled down a bit.
"Su Jun, are you making fun of me?"
Mingming has a sweet smile and his spell power is overflowing.
Several people subconsciously released their cursed powers.
Su Ze met her gaze directly.
"Of course. So please, Miss Mingming, stop being so sharp and just tell us a price that everyone can accept." He said in a calm voice.
Everyone was startled.
Mingming was the first to react, then he covered his forehead and laughed out loud, with his white hair flying.
"I really underestimated you, Su Jun--" She laughed so hard that she almost couldn't stand, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Su Ze waited quietly without urging anyone.
Mingming barely stood up straight, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, took several deep breaths to calm his smile, and then offered: "Three hundred million."
This time the tone was much more sincere.
"In addition, I have another request. If I encounter something that I cannot solve in the future, please help me solve the problem once... Any one of you three can do it."
She pursed her lips and chuckled, returning to her intellectual and seductive look.
"This time I'm talking about the original price. I just want to earn a small favor—"
She stretched out her hand, revealing her forearm, which was as white as a lotus root.
Su Ze turned his head and exchanged glances with the two of them, then looked at Glass, and they nodded slightly to each other.
"make a deal."
Su Ze held Mingming's hand and shook it gently.
Mingming's smile became even more intense, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
——Of course Su Ze couldn’t come up with 300 million. If Gojo Satoru didn’t seek help from his family, the four of them together wouldn’t be able to come up with that much.
But if you can’t pay, you can buy it on credit first!
Miss Mingming was of course happy to collect interest, but the interest rate was very low, and it seemed that she was not really doing it for the sake of making money.
But...
"I don't believe that Miss Mingming will really give me the original price, otherwise she will let me shrink my penis into my abdomen--"
Su is certain.
Let a miser give up the opportunity to make money?
--Do not make jokes!
It would be more credible to say that you can get extra credits by attending lectures!
"By the way, does this knife have a name?" asked Glass.
"Muramasa, or Murasame." Mingming said casually.
Murasame?
Senior brother’s knife?
Or should we say Akame's sword?
Su Ze chuckled contentedly.
-
late at night.
Su Ze sat in front of the table in his bedroom, beside which was placed the cursed tool called "Muramasa" or "Murasame". He glanced at it casually, and the blade still exuded an icy chill.
He was playing with six coins in his hand at the same time, and the trajectory of each coin was clear and distinct.
Su Ze leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily.
——I always feel that today is particularly long. After the incident with the cursed spirit this morning, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
But it was normal. At that time, Su Ze felt that his heart actually skipped a beat for a few seconds.
In addition, the low-frequency vibrations seem to shatter the internal organs.
He shuddered. It was a really bad feeling—just recalling it made his teeth ache.
He scattered the coins and threw them directly onto the bed. He lifted his legs and threw off his shoes, then covered his eyes with his hands. The fatigue came over him, and it was particularly fierce. He fell asleep almost instantly.
The coins were rolling on the table. Five of them were spread out on the table, stopping in the order of front, front, front, back, and front.
The last coin was particularly strong and kept spinning on the edge of the table. After a while, it gradually slowed down due to exhaustion and began to sway from side to side, with the amplitude becoming larger and larger and its shape becoming increasingly unstable.
After a few more seconds, it stopped rotating completely, tilted its head and fell straight to the ground.
——Dingdong.
Ding-clang-clang——
It rolled up and down for a long time before finally stopping completely.
It's the opposite.
That is, three positives, one negative, one positive, and then one negative.
——Kan of Qian.
One of the most sinister hexagrams in the Book of Changes.
Qian is the first hexagram of the Eight Trigrams, symbolizing masculinity. Qian's Kan is the first changing hexagram of Qian, representing the downward transformation of yang energy, forming a downward trend.
The Xiang Ci says: "The upper hexagram is Qian, Qian represents heaven; the lower hexagram is Kan, Kan represents water. Heaven and water are separated, flowing in opposite directions, and things go against reason."
The hexagram of Qian's Kan is nine four five, which means that the upper nine lines begin to move downward, representing an unstoppable downward trend.
"Qian Qian is strong and Kun is soft, and they cooperate with each other. Yang is endowed with Yin and receives Yin. Male and female are related to each other."
——"Zhou Yi Can Tong Qi"
……
Su Ze had many dreams during this sleep. He seemed to see the detailed scene of the illusion during the day -
It looks like the future of many people—Noseko in a white coat, Jie in a strange cassock, Wu wearing an eye patch... Hey, why do you both look so ugly?
Su Ze wanted to speak, but his throat was blocked by something.
Hey - Wu, is that the expression you should show as a bastard? Jie, what's the point of your carefree look? Are your injuries serious? Xiaozi, why do you look so tired? Look at the dark circles under your eyes...
Hey - look at me? Why do I feel so strange?
Su Ze felt like he was falling. There was no sound of wind breaking when he fell, but the feeling of weightlessness in his mind hinted at everything.
He opened his arms and accepted it gladly, because it seemed that this would keep him away from the heart-wrenching scene.
But broken images kept coming into his sight—bizarre and strange...right?
Su Ze only wanted to use this word to describe it, because this word itself carries a sense of illusion and unreality. He was afraid that if he used a realistic word like "heart-wrenching" to describe it, those scenes would really become reality.
He was scared.
Those people walked further and further away.
Su Ze stretched out his hand, trying to catch the figures moving away from him.
——White coat, cassock, and technical college uniform.
He shouted, but they seemed not to hear him and just walked forward side by side.
you--
Look back!!
-
Su Ze suddenly opened his eyes.
Familiar ceiling.
The cicadas in the mountains were chirping loudly, and sparrows were chirping softly on the windowsill.
It was bright outside, and the sunlight was so strong that he couldn't open his eyes. Su Ze's eyelids drooped.
I was so tired last night that I didn't even draw the curtains...
Su Ze slowly stood up, feeling dizzy and lightheaded. His mouth and tongue were also extremely dry, and there was no water in the room, so he had to go out in his slippers to get some water.
Why do my pajamas look so shabby? My trouser legs are almost hanging down to the ground.
My bangs are a bit irritating to the eyes - it's time to cut my hair.
This door handle feels weird.
What's going on this morning? Why does something feel wrong?
Su Ze felt a dry and burning sensation in his throat and swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
The corridor was still the same corridor, Su Ze walked slowly while holding onto the wall, the water dispenser was in the living room. The four bedrooms were not completely adjacent - for example, Jie and Wu were on the west side, and he and Nitro's room was on the east side.
squeak-
The door beside him opened.
What time is it now? When does Xiaozi usually get up?
Su Ze turned around and prepared to say hello to Glass.
The guy who came into view was wearing beige bear pajamas, with fluffy hair, a lazy look, and a teardrop mole under the corner of his eye.
But that’s not the point…the point is that this guy is handsome.
——Yes, the handsome Jun.
——Used to describe the handsomeness of a man.
Early in the morning, a man came out of Glass's room.
Su Ze was stunned for a moment and his mind went blank.
The guy looked dazed and looked up at Su Ze.
Su Ze's mouth was half open, the greeting stuck in his throat and moving up and down, but he could no longer utter it.
I raised my arm to say hello but I didn't know whether to put it down or raise it up.
He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and a strange sense of depression.
——Hey, it’s normal for someone to have a boyfriend.
——Hey, what do you want? Have you shown that you like glass? Or, do you like glass?
The guy stared at Su Ze for several seconds, and Su Ze met his eyes.
That guy actually started to attack:
"…Who are you? How did you get out of Ze-kun's room?"
The voice was full of suspicion.
What's the meaning……?
Why does this tone sound so familiar?
Su Ze turned around subconsciously and saw the figure in the mirror: black shoulder-length hair, soft facial features, a delicate nose and almond-shaped eyes, a sense of being detached from the world, but with confusion in his eyes.
Su Ze looked in the mirror and slapped himself in the face.
The other hand unconsciously touched between the legs.
