Twenty-two - Cherry blossoms and the promise
The red blade shimmered in an eerie glow under the moon.
As Ji Yuehua's palm gently stroked, the true red flame spontaneously combusted without wind, and wrapped around the blade of the knife in an instant.
"Hiss-!!"
Under the chirping of the "armored spider", seeing the trajectory of the silk, Ji Yuehua lowered her body and rolled to the side violently, avoiding the poisonous attack coming from the front. Immediately, the moment he snatched the "Armored Spider" and closed his mouth, he kicked the ground with both feet and rushed forward, slamming the long knife in his hand, and not afraid that his head was one of the hardest parts of the "Armored Spider", and he carved a knife flash on the head of the "Armored Spider".
The strange green blood had evaporated into the air from the heat before it could be sprayed.
Just as the "Armored Spider" was about to open its mouth to scream, as if it had been expected, the blade dragging the flames plunged into the mouth of the "Armored Spider" with lightning speed, almost submerging to the hilt!
The flames wrapped around the blade had burned the brain and half of the internal organs of the "Armored Spider" in less than a second, and the "Armored Spider" had slowed down its movements.
Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, Ji Yuehua controlled the long knife, and the red threads traveled across the face of the "armored spider", completely cutting off its head. The metal armor with extremely high defense did not succeed in resisting the slash that was swung from its body, and when the tongue of fire was exposed to the air again, the head of Ning Cheng fell to the ground.
"Is this an attribute weapon? Although I had heard him say it a long time ago, it was the first time I actually saw it, it turned out that Yuehuajun, your sword is an attribute weapon! Why didn't you tell me before?"
"No, because Sister Yukinai didn't you ask."
"That's a quibble! You know how much people who use melee weapons are looking forward to the advent of attribute weapons?"
Since they were just discovered by the "Calamity Beast", Ji Yuehua and the two have annihilated four batches of "Calamity Beasts" so far. This time, he directly collided with the medium-level "Armored Spider".
After cleaning up the "Armored Spider", Ji Yuehua turned her head to look at Tachibana Yukino's side, only to see that the other party had already cleaned up a dozen or so low-level "Calamity Beasts", and was leaning against the tree with his arms crossed, and he didn't know how long he had been watching the battle.
Because it's rare for that pouting look to appear on Tachibana Yukino's face. Ji Yuehua unconsciously took a second look, but Tachibana Yukino walked over and hit him the forehead.
"Painful !!"
"This is a small punishment and a big commandment, next time I have something to hide from me, I will ignore you in the future!"
"Barbarous, brutal unreasonable"
"Huh?"
"No, nothing"
Maybe it's because the topic of attribute weapons is really important in Tachibana Yukino's heart, right?
When he was knocked on the forehead, Ji Yuehua's tearful eyes were still lethal, but Tachibana Yukino was completely unmoved.
After teaching Ji Yuehua a lesson, he was not in a hurry to find a place to hide and wait for the cooldown time of the bracelet to pass, Tachibana Yukino took Ji Yuehua's knife-holding left hand. The other hand gently stroked the blade.
At that time, the flames on the knife had long since dissipated due to the end of the battle, and the crimson blade was still slightly warm, but it was not hot at all. Because he was wrapped in flames during the battle, there was not even a trace of blood on the knife.
Tachibana Yukino's slender hand was placed on the knife and gently touched, like a child seeing a treasure, until he let go, he was still reluctant to give up, and kicked the pebbles on the ground in a sullen manner. Seeing this, Ji Yuehua couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.
This kind of unhappy expression of not getting toys has only been seen in the past on the second sister and Bayi Yonglin. There are more cases that appear in the former. Once upon a time, he thought that he should not have a chance with Tachibana Yukino, who was always generous and decent, and it turned out that it was just his delusion.
"Huh, Yuehua-kun."
After Ji Yuehua put the knife back into its sheath, Tachibana Yukino, who was originally kicking the pebble, suddenly approached and looked at him with a very serious look, "You tell me honestly." When will the attribute weapon be officially released?"
"What"
Although, Tachibana Yukino herself doesn't seem to be aware of it, but her pretty face is actually less than ten centimeters away from Ji Yuehua.
It was only a few days ago that the intimate contact with each other awakened the recognition of the difference between men and women, and at this moment, the cherry lips approached in the blink of an eye in front of him, and all he could see was Tachibana Yukino's beautiful face. The thoughts in Ji Yuehua's mind froze suddenly. Not to mention answering Tachibana Yukino's question, the only thing I felt was a heart pounding wildly.
"Yuehua-kun? Yuehuajun? Yuehuajun !!"
"Yes, yes!!"
Seeing that Ji Yuehua was unresponsive, Tachibana Yukino, who had put all her heart on the "attribute weapon", did not realize the problem as she did a few days ago, and just held down Ji Yuehua's shoulder and shook it violently.
Half a minute later, Ji Yuehua successfully regained her ability to think, although, the side effect that accompanied it was an indescribably dizzy sensation.
"After all, the main developer of the "attribute weapon" is Sister Yonglin, and I can't say how long it will be before the "attribute weapon" is officially released, but if the prototype model in my hand does not find any problems during the testing process, I think it will be put into use within about half a year."
"I can't detect the problem! Absolutely!!"
"Can you ask me for this kind of thing?"
Feeling the strength coming from his shoulders increased by the least a few times, the muscles on Ji Yuehua's face twitched involuntarily.
Although I really wanted to ask the other party, "Are you willing to accept defective products with flaws?", however, it was the first time that I saw Tachibana Yukino so happy when I saw that face full of joy and excitement and known each other for so long, even to the point of forgetting myself.
I can't say this kind of disappointing speech, even if I tear his mouth, I can't say it.
"Woo, then again, I've heard about it from the teacher! It is said that the principle of "attribute weapons" is based on "metaphorical energy" and then evolves different attributes?"
"Well, that's true. Although the material produced would limit the possibility of the evolution of the "metaphorical energy", it is correct in principle. The "attribute" itself is not a natural thing, but the result of the change of the "metaphorical energy", which locks the "metaphorical energy" identified as a certain form on the weapon, and allows it to connect to the "metaphorical energy" in our body when touched, so as to obtain an explosive amplification, which is how the "attribute weapon" works. ”
"It sounds complicated and a headache. Is this the gap between researchers and ordinary people?"
Since it is a speech that is rephrased after understanding, it inevitably involves many simplifications and changes in wording. For Yukino Tachibana, who doesn't have much knowledge of "Divine Metaphor Technology", she can only understand a third of what she says.
Slightly intimidated by Ji Yuehua's explanation, Tachibana Yukino's interest faded significantly, however, in the next moment, the fire of enthusiasm in his eyes had been ignited again, "However, I don't seem to be wrong about this matter, the "metaphorical energy" can be created out of nothing, am I wrong?"
"Well, roughly speaking, that's right."
So, is it possible for the "metaphorical energy" to create different objects out of thin air in the future? For example, tables, chairs, and so on. ”
"According to Sister Yonglin, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but does this have anything to do with "attribute weapons" and combat?"
Ignoring Ji Yuehua's question, Tachibana Yukino put her hands behind her back, jumped back two steps, and with a childlike glow on her face, she whispered, "I, I've always liked cherry blossoms since I used to." ”
"Sakura?"
"Look, doesn't my surname have a 'flower' in it? Moreover, my sister's name is "Thousand Sakura". Every time I see cherry blossoms, I think of my sister who lives far away in the "Aoyo" area, and I think of the time when I lived with her and my childhood friends, and I don't think of my sister and that friend, but in this world, my favorite thing is cherry blossoms!"
In this way, the declaration was made in a dignified manner. The beautiful face looks a little dreamy under the moonlight. To be honest, Ji Yuehua was stunned.
Even the disgust of the "Calamity" was forgotten, forgetting the fact that he was in a dangerous enemy territory at the moment, and he was preoccupied with what he was seeing
"So, although I know maybe it's a bit too much to ask"
Admits his arrogance, but he has no intention of giving in here. Above board, along with that willfulness, and even in a sincere tone, Tachibana Yukino stretched out her hand to Ji Yuehua, and said softly, "Huh, Yuehua-kun, can you make an agreement with me?" When I go back, when the "Attribute Weapon" is officially released, be sure to give me a knife that can conjure beautiful cherry blossoms out of thin air! Even if you want to abandon the function of evolving "attributes". I'll keep waiting. Can you promise me?"
