Pokemon Musashi

"Ding Ding Ding"

"bang bang bang"

Two hammers, big and small, struck out gorgeous music on the anvil, and the object being struck was a burning red tangerine fruit.

The person holding the small hammer was an older man, and the person wielding the sledgehammer was a girl in her teens. This girl was Yoshimi Shiroda.

I saw her looking at the tangerine fruit intently. Under the rhythmic guidance of the small hammer, she swung the sledgehammer to continuously hit the tangerine fruit.

During the two months of summer vacation, apart from doing homework, Jimei stayed in his family's cone workshop and learned how to make cones from his father.

Making tree fruit cones is not only a natural love for my own business, but also a desire to make qualified cones with my own hands and give them to Musashi to repay the unpaid kindness at the beginning of the year.

The knocking continues...

"Ding!"

This sound was not made by a small hammer, but by a sledgehammer. Jigme quickly stopped swinging the hammer, looked at her father excitedly and asked, "Did I succeed?"

"Go and see for yourself the quenching process."

There was a smile on Jigmei's serious expression, and he handed Jigmei the curved-nose pliers holding the tangerines in his hand, encouraging her to verify it herself.

After all, all the tricks were given to Yoshimi, and with the final crisp sound, he knew that the elf ball was successfully made.

"呲~~~"

Under the rapid cooling of the newly pumped Slowpoke Well water, the tangerine fruit lost its red color and turned dark.

Jimei didn't mind the color of the cones, picked up the thick cotton cloth on the side and wiped it vigorously. Soon, the cones returned to their original color of green, and compared to the color of the tangerines, what Jimei created was the Friend Ball.

Through the inspection of the machine on the side, this cone fully meets the standards of the elf ball, which means that this cone was successfully produced.

"Yeah!! Dad, I made it."

"Well, paint the color pattern on it and set it aside to dry. Don't mix up and down."

"I know."

Humming the nursery rhyme I heard since childhood, I started to color the cones for the first time. After finishing, I placed the cones on the shelf and waited to dry naturally.Then she returned to her father and started playing with the second cone she was about to make.

As a friendly reminder, newly picked tangerines cannot be used directly to make cones, because the tangerines contain juicy pulp. Baking them directly on the fire is no less than placing a bomb in the stove, so Don't try it lightly.

However, as long as the cap on the top of the tangerine is removed, a natural hole will appear. Split along the hole to get two hemispheres. Remove the juicy pulp inside, remove the fiber attached to the inner wall, and dry it for a day. That's it.

Take a pair of dried tangerine fruit hemispheres and install small louvers inside to reunite the two hemispheres into one.

Then, apply a special Pokémon catching net to the inside of the cone. On this basis, assemble the Poke Ball closure lock on the upper and lower halves of the cone. In this way, half of the cone is completed.

After that, the semi-finished products are tempered by flames, quenched by spring water and other processes, so that all the parts on the cones are closely integrated. Only then is the finished product roughly completed. Finally, after coloring and painting, the cones are completed.

With the encouragement of the finished product, Jimei's enthusiasm for making cones became even higher.

"Ding, ding, ding," and "bang, bang, bang," the knocking sounds once again echoed in the cone ball making workshop.

. . . . . .

"Elder."

Dressed in an orthodox miko costume, Hina began her true journey as a weather miko under the guidance of the chief miko.

"From the beginning when I taught you how to cultivate spiritual power, I did not clearly explain what kind of existence spiritual power is. You can successfully perceive spiritual power and incorporate it into your soul without anyone's guidance. This is enough to prove your qualifications, now I will teach you how to inspire your spirit."

To the miko chief sitting opposite Hina, she opened her palms, and a smart and transparent fish appeared in her palms, reflecting colorful irises under the light, like soap bubbles in the sun.

The miko chief gently raised her hand and the fish composed of ectoplasm swam out of the safe zone of her hand, first surrounding the miko chief.
