Sword Raiders II

In the dimly lit Japanese room, he was carefully taken out by a pair of hands.

The scabbard was carefully pulled out, and the rest of the scabbard was also disassembled little by little. Only the blade was held in the palms of the hands, smeared with knife oil and powder, and carefully maintained inch by inch.

He was accustomed to placing it, but he didn't feel sad at all, perhaps because the hands that gave it to him were too gentle, even the soft fingertips caressing the devil's seal on the stem made him feel satisfied.

The fingertips that traced the blade subconsciously emanated clear and warm spiritual power, which made him, who had been immersed in pathos, unconsciously satisfied and dependent.

Soon, he was put on the sword with the same care after the hands were entered, and those hands hugged him into his arms and walked out of the house.

He sensed the long-lost sky, the distant sky, the gentle wind, and the laughing self-talk.

"In the Sengoku period, the sword that seized the world was famous. Is it really good to give it to me from the shrine that enshrines Oda Nobunaga? Is there something wrong with wishing me king in the industry?"

The laughter made his chest vibrate, and made him feel that this embrace was not only warm but also soft, but what was more gentle was the last whisper.

"Well, no matter what, since I brought you back from Nobunaga's shrine, it's up to me to take good care of you. Let's get along well from now on, Sozo Samoji."

Getting up from the quilt all of a sudden, Zong San realized that he was still resting in the dormitory, and he could see the bright sky through the half-opened window.

It's already morning.

He lowered his head, looking down at his hands.

Dreaming again.

It's not the picture of getting along with the protagonist who acts in a completely different style in Honmaru, but another completely different scene.

Although vague and hazy, no intuitive information was revealed at all, but...

Pressing the palm of his hand on the tattoo on his left chest, the pink-haired Da Dao looked up at the sky outside the window.

"That's the same person."

……

Stage A of the challenge mission, the penultimate day.

Yuri left Honmaru because of her work in this world.

This is not a temporary emergency, but an itinerary that has been arranged long ago.

"Now the eight food companies under Xinggong Pavilion have successfully occupied a lot of market share after obtaining your patented recipe formula and improving their products. Among them, tea and lunch are the most profitable, which has increased by 20% compared to last month. %, it will not be a problem to double as a whole before the first month. The Huaxia restaurants and Japanese high-end restaurants that belong to the domestic Xinggong restaurant in the high-end food market are also the source of customers after adjusting the dishes and rectifying the menu under your guidance. Explosive..."

In the office, the manager took the information and made a long story short to summarize the report of the current month.

"The cooperation project submitted by the Tokugawa Foundation and the Akashi Foundation last week has been evaluated by the company, and the Xinggong Pavilion can take over. The snack company under the name of the Uesugi family also approached yesterday, and I would like you to come forward again to deal with the first two. The potato chip series that you worked with them in [-] will make a new series of brands..."

"Wait." Yu Li, who was also listening and flipping through the documents on the table, couldn't help but stop, his face full of surprise, "The Uesugi family wants me to help them design snacks again? Hasn’t the tablet formula been selling well for the past two years, haven’t you heard that it’s going to be out of date?”

"It's too early to die, there are no more than two brands in the market that can compete with it, and their company's annual report has doubled in the past two years, so it can be said that they are making a lot of money The value has far exceeded the dagger that was given to you at the beginning." The manager pressed the information and raised his glasses, "But who stipulates that there can only be one high-quality product, no matter how many such products there are. many."

"That's the reason... But I think you won't get my premise at all for this kind of cooperation. It should be said that you will veto it on the spot. After all, Xinggong Pavilion also has a snack company." Yu Li expressed doubts, "Boss, aren't you The kind of person who can lose money in business?"

"Well, it's you who will do it." Looking at the beautiful financial reports of other companies, the manager only felt that it was very dazzling. If the formula hadn't been sold cheaply by the second-hand products in front of him two years ago, it would all be the performance of Xinggong Pavilion now. , but who let this be the immediate boss who pays the salary to the dividends, he can only take a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said the answer, "They sent the knife again."

"Yes, is it?" Facing the accusing gaze, Yu Li suddenly became weak, "I want to change the formula with a knife again..."

"Yeah, I want to refuse, but I'm afraid that some knives-collecting monster will make trouble with me." The manager looked straight at the guilty face of a certain person, expressionless, "What do you say?"

What can I say after staring at her with cannibalistic eyes, of course she refused with a righteous face, she is no longer alone, she has a lot of companies to support.

After getting a satisfactory answer, the manager withdrew his gaze, looked down at the information again, and sighed: "If the Tokugawa family hadn't bought your green juice formula with a knife at that time, here this year..."

"Cough, cough, don't mention it after it's over!" Yu Li coughed hard and interrupted, "Thousands of money can't buy a good heart, I really don't feel like I'm losing money."

In terms of values ​​in this regard, the manager and Yu Li are not on the same line, although he should understand that he is engaged in art work.But there is a huge gap between simply buying art with money and exchanging art with core technology that can sustain one's livelihood.

In summary, this is not squandering, this is prodigal.

It was still too young at that time, and she didn't listen to people's persuasion to hand over her family property at will just for something she liked—although her "family property" was indeed very strong, and she could stand defeat.

"Mr. Ruishan, I understand what you mean, and now I really understand your feelings." Yu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm very glad that you have always thought of me. In the past few years, you have done a lot of things for collecting knives that you don't understand. I’m sorry that things have been worrying you. But, I don’t regret it, I’m very happy to be able to take those knives back home, and I’m also very relieved.”

Swords are recognized as dead objects that cannot move, but even if the original trajectory is just an ordinary person, she would not think so. It is precisely because of these swords that she can stay at home without being harassed by other creatures.

What's more, their identity and destiny have been changed in this life, they have brought her too much, and they have paid too much for her.

So whether it is the original self or the current self, I am grateful to them.

"Do you like it that much?" Looking at the cherishment and satisfaction from the heart of the opposite person, the manager sighed, "You have said that, what else can I say, after thoroughly understanding the value of those formulas, you still don't feel bad at all If so, then I shouldn’t talk too much. Alright, let’s talk about the itinerary. There will be a promotional press conference in the afternoon, which is about a series of drinks of the new brand. The group still attaches great importance to it. , and even invited the popular Tiantuan idol to be the spokesperson. You don’t need to do or say anything when you are there, but you have to show your face.”

"...Oh! It's the fruity tea that you and Zhijin mentioned a while ago!" Yu thought about it, "It is said that a new generation of singing and dancing boy group in the entertainment industry is invited, what is it called... MIS? "

"WUMIS." The manager repeated to her, "It's a four-member boy group between the ages of 15 and 18. This year's very popular new debut artist team, do you not watch TV at home all day when you are resting?"

Watching crazy TV, have been working in Honmaru, okay, I don’t have time to play games, and watch TV?At most it was a news channel.

Yu Li complained in his heart, but his face was serious: "Who knows? I used to be a dead house and only pursued two-dimensional, and I didn't pursue stars at all, okay?"

"Understood." The manager had no doubts when he heard the words, "No wonder you are still alone despite your status and status. You can't support yourself even if you become a rich woman. You are really single based on your strength."

"Please tell me to clean myself!" Yu Li frowned, "Who stipulates that if you have money, you must spend a lot of money to be worthy of the money! I would rather spend it to buy other things!"

"That's right, let's buy a knife." The manager tidied up the things at hand without looking up, "Now that you are very rich, buying a national treasure is not a problem."

Ah, another day of being single.

Seeing the manager showing off his beloved wife's scarf, wedding ring, and other dog food products intentionally or unintentionally, Yu Li chose to be indifferent.

#According to history, you should be trapped by him for a lifetime#

Thinking of this, his face became even more indifferent.

At the press conference that she attended in the afternoon, she was like a town house beast, almost showing her face to say that this is a product fully supported by Xinggong Pavilion, so Yu Li didn't tidy herself up too grandly, still It is a formal and appropriate occasion visit kimono.

Probably because of the invitation of the top boy group, the press conference was much more lively than those that Yu Li had participated in in the past. Not only the media workers came, but also a bunch of star chasing fans, but most of the latter were stopped by the security guards. Outside the arena, only a small number were invited to enter.

The stage is not too small. It is said that after the interview session, the tables and chairs will be emptied for the men’s group to perform a song and dance. At that time, the company’s important officials in the arena will leave almost all the fans outside the arena. Popularity.

The atmosphere at the scene was very warm, Yu Li kept a cold face the whole time, but no one in the audience found it strange.As a leader in the gourmet business circle and top skills, it is normal for her to be aloof.If it weren't for the fact that the brand name of Xinggong Pavilion was still too young, and it hadn't been deeply rooted in the hearts of Yuanyue as early as Yuanyue, a big man of this level would never have appeared on such an occasion.

Yu Li didn't pay attention to the eyes of the people at the scene looking at her, but just finished her work of showing up as a town house beast seriously, saying what she said, and then leaving the scene as soon as she had to.

During this period, she also saw the four top-notch boys, who were indeed youthful, handsome and compelling, with star flavor and stage charm.

But when they entered, it happened to be her leaving, and the enthusiastic screams of the fans caused Yu Li to glance back curiously, and it happened that one of the boys was also looking towards her, and happened to meet her gaze.

The boy smiled at her immediately, a dimple appeared on his baby fat delicate face, and it smelled sweet and milky.

Yu Li... Yu Li returned a faint nod, which was regarded as a greeting, and then went straight away with the manager who was waiting in the background.

Well, as expected of a top boy group, the fire is not unreasonable.

After commenting this sentence without emotion, Yu Li's mind has already jumped out of the next itinerary. Taki Xuemei's Spanish restaurant branch in Lake Ashi has opened, and she has to go and see.

The day is over and the sun has set.

Rejecting the manager's offer, Yu Li went back to the mansion in Kamakura alone.

After closing the door, taking off his shoes and socks, and stepping barefoot on the tatami mats with underfloor heating, Yuli's aloof personality completely collapsed in the next second.

"I'm exhausted!"

Fortunately, I came back after having a big meal in the restaurant of the school girl, otherwise I would have to eat the whole dinner by myself, which would be even more tiring.

Why is it that the president and chairman of the TV series have such a good life and have a lot of time to pick up girls, but she has to be dragged here and there by the skinning boss to work non-stop!It's not fair!

He dug out a bowl of homemade pudding from the refrigerator, and Yu Li angrily scooped it up, hoping to make up for his inner resentment with desserts.

As if thinking of something, she picked up the phone with a spoon in her mouth, and sent a text crackling, and it can be seen that the name of the recipient of the letter is Akashi Seijuro.

Yu Li remembered that the Akashi Foundation had cooperated with an overseas luxury car brand company, so he simply asked this cheap student to help her build a sports car with good performance.

I thought it would take a while to receive the message, but I didn't expect the other party to reply almost instantly.

Akashi Seijuro: [Teacher, you mentioned it just right.There happens to be a sports car suitable for women here. If you don’t need race-level performance parameters, it’s definitely enough. Do you have time to come and take a look this weekend? 】

Afterwards, another message popped out of the window, which was a picture of a royal blue sports car. The smooth body lines and colorful shape made Yu Li fall in love with it at a glance.

Immediately typed a reply to agree, and the two parties directly made an appointment for a specific time.

Fortunately, her sports car is in stock, and she might be able to drive it home without tuning it on a weekend!

Yu Limei fantasized about the good thing about taking a ride in a sports car in the future, but he never thought about how much time he would have to do it in the future.

After holding the phone for a while, I was about to put it back and continue digging pudding, when a new message popped up on the screen of the phone.

It belongs to Si Yingshi.

Click it, it's a photo.

The castle tower, which is still under construction by the shore of Lake Ashi, has almost been completed. Someone took a photo of Yaoyao from the other side of the lake. The castle is majestic, the top of the mountain is pointed, and the white walls and blue tiles are like a light-colored giant standing by the lake. , and just opposite to Mount Fuji, the similar colors of the two sides form a very harmonious lens.

There is a line of words below the photo.

[This is a photo I took from the top floor of the Prince Hotel, Xinggong City, very beautiful. 】

Yu Li couldn't help laughing, and thanked him back. The main body of the castle is almost finished, and the hard decoration inside hasn't started yet, but when it's the turn of these processes, the progress will be very fast.

Putting down the phone, and eating all the remaining pudding without any disturbance, Yu Li felt that some of his lost vitality had returned.

It was still early before going upstairs to bed, but she didn't want to pass the time with her mobile phone and TV. After thinking about it, she got up and went directly to the knife room.

"Every time I walk through it, I feel that this house is really too big." Yu Li muttered while walking on the road, "But I don't feel it even though Honmaru has a bigger territory... Sure enough, it has something to do with the lack of popularity?"

A casual murmur to herself made her feel down all of a sudden, and she remembered the challenge mission rewards in the game.

pink gem...

No, no, I don’t think about this problem in this world, so forget about it.

Throwing away the thought, Yu Li had already stepped into the knife storage room, and the ancient knives of nearly eighty vibrations were now neatly lined up on the wall, some of which seemed to be hung a little too high.

But to Yuli, these are nothing.

Looking around, she fixed her eyes on a certain place in her heart, stretched out her hand and raised it, and the knife wrapped in a gorgeous knife on the high wall flew out automatically, and fell straight and steadily into Yuli's palm.

While holding the knife, Yu Li's mind was thinking about the monster butterfly tattoo on Fu Sangshen's chest that it showed.

Suddenly, I wanted to do a tool maintenance.

Yu Li, who was suddenly aroused by curiosity, took the knife and went directly to the special tool table. Well, she was really just doing maintenance.

The scabbard was pulled out, the handle was removed, and the first and other small parts of the knife were also carefully removed and put away. Soon there was only a beautifully curved blade on the table covered with cotton cloth.

Sliding the line of sight to the stem of the knife, one can clearly see long inscriptions engraved on both sides, which together read "On May [-]th of the third year of Yonglu's reign, Yoshimoto's arrest engraved on the knife held by Oda Owari Mori nobunaga".

"It's really an extremely arrogant engraving." Just looking at this section of the saber inscription, Yu Li can imagine the arrogance of the inscribed person, "The former owner who killed the saber also engraved the time and name of the incident on the saber. A man of the Six Heavens Demon King."

Picking up the hand tool, she started the routine maintenance process, but the melancholy face that was always stained with despair appeared in her mind unconsciously, and her movements unconsciously slowed down.

"Did I take you out of the devil's cage?"

Unknowingly, his fingertips landed on the knife inscription, feeling the depression of the engraving, Yu Li recalled all the things that happened when he was vibrating the knife in this house, and finally he stopped in the cursed space and the scene of him releasing his divinity couldn't help but give him a pause , A wry smile appeared on his face.

"No, I don't seem to be a good place here, and I am not qualified as the master."

Touching the string of inscriptions with her fingertips again, Yu Li sighed softly, but her brows and eyes regained her determination.

"But even if that's the case, I'm already your shelter. As the master, I should be responsible to the end."

Self-blame and self-denial are the most useless things, she doesn't want to waste time like this, she still has a lot to do.

"Wait for a while, when I bring you back, then we will have a long, long time to solve all our troubles, whether we are out of the cage or be a free bird, there is enough leeway To achieve it. Are you right, Sozo?"

The author has something to say:
