Tetsuhara Kojiro hugged the wooden box containing the Japanese sword in his arms, motionless, as if he hadn't heard May's voice, he was still curled up at the gate of Tomioka's house, facing the cold wind, saying nothing. throat.

It can be said to be quite pitiful.

Seeing his appearance like this, Wu Yue felt very bad.She slowed down and approached softly.

"Mr. Tetsuhara?" Wuyue touched him lightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you here?"

Tetsuhara Kojiro finally raised his head, and the fire man's mask was facing May.

Probably an illusion, Wu Yue seems to have seen... a trace of depression from the fire man's mask?

She shook her head quickly.

How could it be possible, the fire man's mask is just a mask, it's exactly the same as the one he wore when he came last time, how can he see any depression.

He raised his head only once, and Tetsuhara Kojiro lowered his head again, like memory metal, which can only be fixed at this angle.

May [-]st is a little awkward.She had no idea what the situation was, or what to do.

After thinking about it, she poked Tetsuhara Kojiro again.

"Go in and sit for a while, it's really cold outside."

Tetsuhara Kojiro didn't say a word, but he stood up, and the floral turban fluttered in the wind, revealing bursts of frustration.

His performance like this really made May extremely nervous.She hurriedly opened the door, and brought Tetsuhara Kojiro into the house with a smiling face.

Sit down, open the wooden box, take out the sun wheel knife, and hand it to Wu Yue.

Tetsuhara Kojiro didn't say a word the whole time.

This made May even more embarrassing.She really didn't know how to deal with it, so she had to laugh awkwardly twice, not even daring to reach for the Sun Wheel Knife.

A strange atmosphere reverberated between the two, but Giyuu didn't seem to notice anything.

"Don't you want to see your knife?" he said to May.

"Yes yes yes. I'm going to see it now."

Despite saying so, Wu Yue still didn't move.She raised her eyes and took a sneak peek at Tetsuhara Kojiro, but unfortunately all she saw was the fire man's mask.

She suddenly panicked.

"Ahem..." She cleared her throat, quickly smiled respectfully, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Tieyuan, can I have a look at my knife?"

Tetsuhara Kojiro nodded slightly, but did not speak.But at least this can be regarded as a response.May is a little less intense.

Bowing again, Wuyue took her Sun Wheel Saber.

Pushing the knife out of its sheath, the target is still the familiar golden blade, and even the ripple pattern on the blade has not changed at all, even the weight and length have not changed, it is exactly the same as before.Cracks and gaps have been repaired and it looks like new again.

May waved a few times casually.

Well, the feel is the same!

"Thank you, Mr. Tieyuan!" Wuyue held the Rilun Saber in her arms very preciously, and couldn't hide the surprise in her words, "You repaired my knife very well!"

"really?"

Tetsuhara Kojiro said in disbelief.These words seemed to cheer him up, but it only lasted for a second.

Sighing and bowing his head, he became as depressed as before.

Wu Yue really felt that his state was very bad, but he really didn't know what happened.She cast a searching look at Giyuu, expecting to know something from him.

But how could Yiyong know why her knife blacksmith became like this - he didn't even meet his own knife blacksmith a few times!

Tetsuhara Kojiro has changed from being silent to sighing again and again.Every time he sighed, Wu Yue felt terrified.

It feels so bad.

Gathering up her courage and boldness, Wuyue asked, "Well, Mr. Tieyuan... are you okay?"

"Ugh--!"

The answer given by Tetsuhara Kojiro was another sigh, scaring Wu Yue's courage back.Trembling, she pushed the snack plate set aside to Tetsuhara Kojiro.

"Soy sauce senbei, do you want to eat?"

She bought these senbei with soy sauce yesterday.Although the texture was very hard, so hard that her head was shaking from chewing, the taste was still very good, full of rice flavor.

I don't know if Tetsuhara Kojiro will like it.

"Oh...don't eat." Tetsuhara Kojiro still looked depressed, but he finally said a complete sentence, "Your Majesty, tell me honestly, what do you think of the sword I forged?"

"How about it……?"

This question is very strange, and it is really sudden.

Wuyue stroked her chin and thought about it seriously for a while.

It might be an illusion, she seemed to feel Tetsuhara Kojiro's impatient mood overflowing from the fire man's mask.

"Uh...about this question..."

May quickly finished her words.

"I think the sun wheel knife you forged is very good-trust me, this is absolutely true." She said very seriously, with sincerity in her eyes, "I am very grateful to you for forging such a handy knife for me. The sun wheel knife. I broke the knife, I'm really sorry!"

"Woo..." Tetsuhara Kojiro seemed to be crying a bit more in his words, "Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

"Woooooooo..."

Tetsuhara Kojiro really cried.

"But the knife is still broken! It must be because of my poor technique! The knife I forged actually broke down like this in the first battle of Your Excellency May. It must have been caused by you It’s a lot of trouble!” While sobbing, he said aggrievedly, “That’s right, it must be because my knife forging skills are too good, huh... I used to think that I was very good, but I didn’t expect to forge it. My first knife is just such rubbish. Huh... I don't have the face to be a knife blacksmith!"

He angrily took off the fire man's mask, and the big tears flowed crazily, almost wet the tatami.May was so frightened that he was at a loss, Giyuu took a small step back quietly, took out a handkerchief and put it in Tetsuhara Kojiro's hand.

After wiping away his tears, Tetsuhara Kojiro seemed to have calmed down a little.He put his hands on his knees, gasped for breath, his eye sockets and nose tip were still red, making people worry whether he was going to cry again.

Wu Yue stared at him for a long time, and suddenly felt a sense of mystery and magic.

The last time Kojiro Tetsuhara came to deliver the knife, he was wearing a fire man mask. Hearing his tone at that time, Wu Yue thought he was a middle-aged man.But now that there is no Fireman mask, Wu Yue looks at his appearance, how does it feel...

It feels like he is the same age as me?

"Huh—" Tetsuhara Kojiro let out a deep breath, staring at the pattern of the Japanese sword, as if he had made a lot of determination, he said solemnly, "Your Excellency May, I will not be in charge of Your knife blacksmith is gone. But don’t worry, it’s not a big deal, there will be other more experienced knife blacksmiths to take over this vacant position in the future. As for me... I..."

He stood up abruptly, but just standing, he looked shaky.He wanted to go outside the house as if in a daze, but May hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't be overthinking it!" Wuyue yelled in a panic, "Mr. Yiyong, come and help me hold Mr. Tieyuan!"

Being dragged tightly by two people, Tetsuhara Kojiro couldn't take a step.

Tetsuhara Kojiro was a little confused when his sad face disappeared.

"Who told you that I'm going to commit suicide?" He muttered, "I just want to go back to the village and continue to practice my knife forging skills."

"Yes...is it?" Wuyue breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sigh of joy, "That's great... sit down for a while, we can talk about something. Do you want to eat senbei with soy sauce? ?”

"……eat!"

Chewing the extremely hard senbei, Tetsuhara Kojiro talked about himself.

"Actually, I have just become a swordsmith, and the sword of Your Excellency Wuyue is also the first sword I personally forged?" He swallowed the senbei and couldn't help but began to sigh again, "I didn't expect the sword I forged to be so fragile. During the repair this time, I increased the hardness of the blade, hoping to make the blade harder and more durable. Alas... I think my technique is still not good enough."

"No way! I think the sun wheel knife you forged is really good, I like it very much!" Wuyue said, "The knife broke because I used it in a rough way, it should be my fault. You have already Well done! If you think your knife forging skills are still not mature enough, we can improve together! It just so happens that my skills in killing ghosts are also very good!"

It wasn't easy for May to be honest about that.

"Even if you say that..." Tetsuhara Kojiro dodged his eyes and muttered to himself as if embarrassed, "In this case, I'll continue to be your swordsmith."

"Great!" Wuyue held his hand firmly, "Then we have reached a cooperative relationship, please give me your advice! By the way, when I was in contact with you earlier, I thought you were my elder... ..."

She smiled embarrassedly.

"Actually, it's my peers..." Tetsuhara Kojiro also looked embarrassed, "Because the elders in the village told me that the most important thing to be a swordsmith is to be calm. So I worked hard to make my way of speaking become Mature!"

"Yes... is it?"

But why does May feel that his efforts seem to be in the wrong direction?

But no matter what, bringing Tetsuhara Kojiro back from the brink of decadence is already a great thing.

And Wu Yue, who finally got the Sun Wheel Knife, can finally start her hell-style training.

She stayed in the gym from morning till night, repeating the same training over and over again.Hardly ever go anywhere else other than the kitchen and your own room.

But even if she suppressed herself to this extent, May still felt that it was not enough.

"Mr. Yiyong, I really want to sleep in the gym. Then I can start practicing as soon as I wake up."

During the meal, May said solemnly.

Hearing this, Yi Yong couldn't help frowning.

"Don't say such unrealistic things."

"Hey... I know, I'm just talking casually." Wu Yue said as if complaining, "The floor of the gymnasium is hard and cold, I will definitely not be able to sleep."

Giyuu nodded silently——that was indeed true.

Halfway through lunch, the brave crows flew into the room, chattering a lot.Yiyong's face darkened, and he hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"There seems to be a ghost in a small town, I'll go and investigate."

With that said, he walked out the door.May immediately caught up.

"I...can I go together?" She did not forget to promise, "I will definitely not hold you back!"

She really wanted to know how Giyuu would handle the affairs of ghosts - there must be skills she could learn!

Yi Yong understood her thoughts.He nodded without refusing.

"Come on then."
