Chapter 135: Five Red Strings
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Kimura Kazuki was on the tram with two swords in his arms.
The Sun and Moon Sword and the Sword of Clear Water.
The Sun and Moon Sword trembled throughout the journey. Kimura Kazuki could sense the sword’s resentful emotions.
It was not until they arrived at ho that Kimura Kazuki finally spoke up, “Alright... the Sword of Clear Water was intended for you to feast on.”
He had already made up his mind to refine the Sword of Clear Water and fuse it into the Sun and Moon Sword. By doing so, the effects of the Feather-Light Stone could be activated by the Sun and Moon Sword.
The Sun and Moon Sword was not a heavy sword. In fact, it was rather light for Kimura Kazuki. But when it cos to Sword Summoning, the sword would be maneuvered by the spirit, and so any additional weight would burden the spirit heavily. Moreover, a hefty amount of spirit strength would be consud during the process of the Sword Summoning.
This is why in the era of reiki recuperation, Feather-Light Stones have beco a much-needed material, essential in the refinent of flying swords. The inclusion of Feather-Light Stones would not only increase the speed of the flying swords but would also increase the endurance of Sword Summoners without any side effects.
As they arrived ho, Kimura Kazuki woke Furuhashi Sakurakyu up as she was sleeping within the Sun and Moon Sword.
Though she was claustrophobic, taking a nap within the sword seed not to cause any unwanted ntal troubles.
Furuhashi Sakurakyu rubbed her eyes and took a glance out the window. Discovering that it was still broad daylight, she started mumbling, “It’s not night ti yet.” She had asked Kimura Kazuki to wake her up only after the sun had set – turns out it was barely what she expected.
“I have things to do,” said Kimura Kazuki in a curious manner. “In fact, why are you sleeping...”
He was puzzled.
Trying to avoid eye contact, Furuhashi Sakurakyu chose not to answer Kimura Kazuki. Acknowledging the situation, Kimura Kazuki decided just to let her be. The truth was, she would not be able to leave him, and sleeping could only regenerate her spirit energy.
Kimura Kazuki chose to send a text ssage over to Furuhashi Fuyuno instead of acting on the situation at once.
“I’m on friendly terms with Mr. Muraoka, manager of the Seikisha, because of my cosplay of the Thunder Master. He still has so audition opportunities for The Sword Saga on his end. However the characters co with low screen ti and you would have to pass the audition to land the roles. Do you want to give it a try?”
anwhile, in the Suiryu Duplex Apartnt, Furuhashi Fuyuno was enjoying a cup of honey drink. With only a hint of sweetness, the luscious honey drink was so delightful that Furuhashi Fuyuno squinted her eyes out of enjoynt. According to Furuhashi Fuyuno, food was given to human beings by Heaven and must be savored carefully.
As the phone on the table started vibrating, she brought it up and noticed that it was a ssage from Kimura-senpai.
There was a flash of perplexity in her eyes, Kimura-senpai had texted her before, but the conversation had ended after one or two ssages. Furuhashi Fuyuno was guessing that senpai must have encountered so sort of financial difficulties. She wanted to help, but there was a lack of pretext to do so. Ever since the ho tutoring situation started and their slight estrangent dissipated, their relationship had halted sowhere between acquaintances and friends...
In fact, she knew that Kimura-senpai would not accept her help if she actively tried to offer it. She had no choice but to stay put, according to her understanding of senpai’s personality.
Furuhashi Fuyuno picked up the phone and read the ssage, breathing heavily as she was caught up in her thoughts.
There was a casting audition for ‘The Sword Saga.’ Though it was an audition for a small character, it was an enormous opportunity for Furuhashi Fuyuno.
Furuhashi Fuyuno saw the video of Kimura-senpai’s cosplay on NICONICO earlier. While she could guess that senpai would know so of Seikisha’s people, she never thought of asking Kimura-senpai for help because they were not that close yet.
She would never expect Kimura-senpai to contact her. Out of nowhere, she thought of sothing and typed silently.
“Senpai, is this the reason why you texted last ti?” As Kimura Kazuki took a glance, he instinctively understood that the incident Furuhashi Fuyuno was talking about was when Furuhashi Sakurakyu used his phone to text her daughter. It was never an occurrence that could be explained easily. So when she literally gave him an excuse, he took it without a second thought.
“Yeah... But it was yet to be confird, so it was not a good ti. Now it has been decided that you would get a shot at it, would you want to give it a go?”
“Thank you for the opportunity, senpai. I would like to give it a try.”
Furuhashi Fuyuno did not reject the opportunity presented to her, especially when senpai had purposely got it for her. She could not let him down. Nonetheless, she never would have thought that senpai actually cared so deeply about her passion in voice acting, this act of kindness truly touched her heart.
It was indeed a heartwarming mont, yet Furuhashi Fuyuno could not help but feel a little uneasy. Could senpai be... pursuing ?
The thought of it never ca to her until now. For a guy, this had to be an attempt to pursue her, right? No, no... Maybe it was just a handy favor? Maybe he just happened to think of her?
Well... no matter what, she knew she had to show her gratitude.
“You’re welco.”
Furuhashi Fuyuno promptly composed her reply once she saw the ssage.
“Senpai, do let know if you need help with anything.”
There was not one thing that Furuhashi Fuyuno could help Kimura Kazuki with at the mont, but one day there will be.
“Alright.” Kimura Kazuki put his phone down right after the ssage was sent. Disregarding further replies, he made preparations to refine the sword of Sun and Moon and the Sword of Clear Water. In his past life, he was a professor in the Enchanted Talisman Division who would help out the instructors of the Alchemy Division and the Weapons Refinery Division. As ti passed, he picked up on a fair amount of skills.
Even though he had learned the skills, opportunities to practice refining never ca by. But even without practical experience, he was first class in theoretical knowledge. Though, the weapon refinery process would have definitely failed if he made his attempt right now, even if he had an abundance of materials. However, extracting the materials was nothing more than a piece of cake for him. The Sword of Clear Water was no artifact or sacred weapon. It was rely a conventional weapon.
One glimpse at Furuhashi Sakurakyu and Kimura Kazuki could see that she was on the computer. It did not bother him one bit.
Though it was the reslting of the Sun and Moon Sword, it was far from an intimidating task. All Kimura Kazuki had to do was fuse the two swords. It should be known that the essence of the Sun and Moon Sword was only a wooden sword, the core elent was the sword’s spirit within.
“Hang in there later.”
The Sun and Moon Sword trembled as it heard the remark.
Noting the situation, Kimura Kazuki channeled his inner focus, and the sea of reiki within him begin to surge. A ball of fla gradually materialized itself from the void.
The fla is a byproduct of the condensation of reiki. However, weapon refiners of the reiki recuperation era tend to call it Heart Fire. The term Heart Fire signified that the heart and soul of the refiners were poured into every single piece of the artifact or sacred weapon.
The Sword of Clear Water was promptly engulfed in flas. Kimura Kazuki chose not to refine the sword of Sun and Moon in the first instance as the two of them were already interlinked, which ans that the refining process would be quick and easy... Consequently, he made the deduction to refine the Sword of Clear Water while his focus was at its peak.
Differing from the situation with the Sun and Moon Sword, the Feather-Light Stone within the Sword of Clear Water had to be extracted at the start.
Kimura Kazuki took extra caution as it was his first practical refinery. He took his ti with the refinent and put success as his top priority instead of speed.
Furuhashi Sakurakyu observed the scene in awe. She chose not to disturb him and rely witnessed the scene as it astonished her. What extraordinary power, it was impressively enviable. She knew that there was not much ti left for her. What she needed to do was to strengthen her daughter’s developnt as quickly as possible.
Barely half of the refinent process was complete at one past midnight.
Alchemy and Weapon Refinery had always been a tedious process. It was fortunate that Kimura Kazuki had the aid of the Sun and Moon Sword, which enabled a steady and non-exhausting flow of reiki to be running within him.
Furuhashi Sakurakyu glanced at the clock. Furuhashi Harunaka and the others should be asleep by now. She noticed that Kimura Kazuki was channeling all his focus on the refining of the Sword of Clear Water, so he could not have noticed her.
As she was caught up in her thoughts, Furuhashi Sakurakyu made use of her consciousness and rged into one of the five red strings that she saw coming through from a distance.
