In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Sure enough, this really is a genuine Thin Edge Full Light Heavenly Eye. I never expected it to be hidden inside the body of the Demon Puppet Sword Demon.

Thinking about it this way, all those sect leaders of the Iwakura-ryu school who were searching for it must have died at the hands of the Puppet Sword Demon, and were only one step away from success.

No wonder there were so few clues; it turns out that those who knew the clues simply didn't have the opportunity to write them down in a book.

However, before Suzumiya Yu could even feel happy, he discovered something devastating.

Because it hasn't been maintained for so many years, the blade of the thin-edged, full-glazed Tenmoku sword has become rusty, and the edge is dull beyond recognition.

Although it is a famous sword, if it turns into this state, it is probably not as good as a sword forged from ordinary ore.

No problem. In this case, you just need to take the knife to a weapon shop to be sharpened and tempered. Even if you break it and reforge it, the Thin Edge Full Radiance Tenmoku will still be the Thin Edge Full Radiance Tenmoku.

......

After putting in so much effort, Yui Suzumiya finally found a suitable weapon. Although the result was somewhat unsatisfactory, she still gained something.

It took him two days to return to Narukami Island from Hachiyū Island. So, from the time he set off for Kannazuka until now, more than ten days have passed.

There was no bad news coming from Wu Ye and his group, and even if there were, he would know about it immediately.

The first thing Suzumiya Yu did upon returning to Narukami Island was to visit Hanamiita, where there was a weapon shop called Tenmoku Forging Shop. He planned to send his Usugen Mitsuru Tenmoku there to get it repaired.

Speaking of which, the Thin Edge Full Light Heavenly Eye has quite a connection with the ancestors of this weapon shop.

The first head of the Iwazo-ryu school was named Iwazo Doki. He was the founder of the Iwazo-ryu school, one of the four great samurai of Inazuma, and the first master of Hakugen Manko Tenmoku.

He founded the Iwazo-ryu school of swordsmanship, became the guide of the Kujo family, and commissioned a famous sword named after his heir, the Hakugen Manko Tenmoku.

In fact, the original name of this famous sword was only "Hakuen Manko". The reason for adding the name "Tenmoku" is that the person who forged this sword was the successor of "Tenmoku-ryu", one of the five legendary lightning swords in Inazuma sword forging.

Even today, Tenmoku-ryu remains one of the most famous sword-forging schools in Inazuma, and Tenmoku Forging Shop is the shop of Tenmoku-ryu practitioners.

Sending the swords forged by their ancestors for repair could be considered a good thing, at least for the swordsmiths.

......

Previously, when the demon's resentment ravaged Narukami Island, very few buildings were destroyed in Hanamiban. After all, it is not the central area of ​​the city, and the number of pedestrians and residents is relatively small, so the demon's resentment naturally did not visit.

The area that suffered the most at the time was probably the central area of ​​Inazuma Castle, since the demon's resentment appeared there. Fortunately, it didn't destroy the castle tower, otherwise the shogunate army would have been even busier.

Tenmoku Forging Shop was fortunate enough to survive, and the incident did not dampen their enthusiasm for forging swords.

The apprentice at the Tenmoku Forging House is named Asou, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be the next successor of the Tenmoku school.

His master was named Tenmoku Shiwu, and it is unknown whether this means exactly what the name implies, but he was the fifteenth generation successor of the Tenmoku school.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Repairing the Famous Sword

Just by being near the Tenmoku Forgehouse, Suzumiya Yu could feel that the temperature here was much higher than in other places.

The sound of hammering rang out, and following the sound, one could see that A-Chuang, wearing only a thin vest, was intently forging a knife.

"I have a weapon here, could you help me repair it?"

Suzumiya Yu took the sword pouch off her back and handed it to Asou.

"Of course, please put the weapon aside. I'll check it later. It should be ready to pick it up in about three days."

Asou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and didn't even look up at Suzumiya Yui while he was speaking.

As the only weapon shop in Hanamiban, Tenmoku Forging Shop is always bustling with business. And since there is only one successor of the Tenmoku school in this generation, it is understandable that he is so busy.

But...aren't you really going to look up at all? At least remember what the other person looks like, right? What if you grab the wrong weapon when you're actually getting it?

"Is the weapon being repaired because it was damaged in battle?"

At this moment, an old man with a hunchback came out of the store. Although he was old, he was still in good spirits and looked no less energetic than the young people.

That was Tenmoku Juju, the owner of Tenmoku Forging Shop, and also Asou's mentor.

"No, it's because it's been stored for a long time, so the blade has rusted off and can no longer be used in combat."

"Really? Let me see."

Upon hearing this, Tenmoku Fifteen immediately became interested.

He learned forging from a young age, and to this day, he has made countless weapons. Therefore, he knows very well that the blade will not rust if left for a few years.

In other words, the sword in Suzumiya Yu's hand is at least several decades or even hundreds of years old, which is extremely tempting for a swordsmith.

Suzumiya Yu handed the sword pouch to Tenmoku Juu. When the other took out the katana, whose scabbard was so worn that it was in terrible condition, Suzumiya Yu's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"This is..."

Tianmu Fifteen's withered, yellow hand trembled incessantly, as if it had been subjected to a great shock.

A-Chuang stopped what he was doing after hearing the noise, because his teacher rarely reacted this way.

He gently stroked the scabbard with his palm. The worn appearance of the blade did not disgust Tenmoku Fifteen. On the contrary, he regarded it as a treasure.

As a successor of the Tenmoku school, how could he not recognize this sword?

From ancient times to the present, the Tenmoku school has been known for its renowned swordsmiths in Inazuma, and many famous swords have been made by them. Among them, the most representative one should be this thin-edged, fully-glossy Tenmoku.

After all, this sword is the only famous sword named "Tenmoku".

"I never imagined... that I would actually see this knife with my own eyes in my lifetime."

The Thin Edge Full Light Tenmoku was forged by the ancestor of Tenmoku Fifteen. To this day, the Tenmoku school regards it as the pinnacle of swordsmithing. A Tenmoku Shadow Blade, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, is revered as a legendary sword.

Now that he could actually see this original masterpiece with his own eyes, how could Tianmu Fifteen not be excited?

"Teacher, what happened to that knife?"

A-Chuang scratched his head. He didn't know why Tianmu Fifteen would react this way, because he had never seen the sketch of the Thin Edge Full Light Tianmu.

"I will repair this sword with my own hands." Tenmoku Juju's body trembled with excitement. "Even if it costs the name of the Tenmoku school, I will bring this masterpiece made by my ancestor back to the light of day!"

After saying that, Tenmoku turned and walked into the shop, leaving Ryou Miyako, who was a customer, standing aside.

"Um... please come back to pick up the knife in three days."

A-Chuang smiled apologetically at Suzumiya Yu, then went into the shop.

"Three days? Actually, a little longer is fine, since I have plenty of time."

......

After leaving Tenmoku Forgehouse, Suzumiya Yui decided to go back first.

He couldn't possibly stay in Inazuma Castle for three days. According to Thomas's intelligence, Kujo Sara had been active in the castle, and it would be troublesome if she discovered him by accident.

As for what the next step is after obtaining the weapon, Suzumiya Yu hasn't decided yet.

Inazuma is currently very peaceful, and there is no one to cause conflict. The Fools are too busy searching for stragglers to do such a thing.

In other words, the only person who could cause conflict is Suzumiya Yui herself, but doing so would come with the risk of being discovered by Raiden-sensei.

In fact, Suzumiya Yu was unaware that she had already been discovered by the Thunder General, but in her eyes, she was not a being that could threaten eternity, so she had not made a move.

If one day Suzumiya Yu causes too much of a commotion and it reaches the ears of the Thunder General, she might change her mind and personally take action to kill him.

If the Thunder General is not someone we can afford to offend for the time being, Ryougu plans to deal with Yae no Miko first. However, Yae no Miko is very cautious, just like him, and his plans almost never reveal any flaws.

So, to be honest, Yae no Miko might be even more difficult to deal with than Raiden no General.

In that case, we can only reach out to the Three Ministers first.

There's no problem with the magistrate of the company. The collusion between the magistrate of the investigation and the foolish group hasn't been exposed yet, and Suzumiya Yu can use that to threaten them, so it's not difficult.

The remaining Tenryo Magistrates are not easy to deal with. Putting aside Kujo Sara, the acting head of the Kujo family, Kujo Kamaji, is a law-abiding citizen who is absolutely loyal to Raiden Shogun. The probability of turning him against his will is almost zero.

So... we need to think of a way, a way to get the other families to push the Kujo family out of power, so that we can control the Tenryo Magistrate through an alternative method.

Just as Suzumiya Yu was pondering what to do, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and collided with him.

"Ouch!"

Something hit his chest, and he fell to the ground because he lost his balance. Ryou Miyako quickly got up.

One after another, small black balls almost covered the surrounding ground. Suzumiya Yu glanced at the person she had collided with, and after seeing the other person's face, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She was a blonde girl who had met Suzumiya Yu once before. She didn't know his name, but he knew hers.

Night Palace.

"Ouch, ouch, that hurts so much!"

Xiaogong touched the spot on her head where she had hit it, and once she came to her senses, she immediately stood up from the ground.

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going and I accidentally bumped into you."

With her hands clasped together, Yui kept apologizing to Suzumiya. Just as Yui was about to squat down to pick up all the black balls, she stopped the moment she saw Suzumiya's face.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Passionate Night Palace

"It's you?"

"what?"

Suzumiya Yu was stunned. What was going on with this reaction? Did the other person recognize her?

"Hey, hey, you haven't forgotten, have you? We've met before. Last time when I was playing temari with the kids, I accidentally hit you on the head. You were the one who threw the temari to us."

"Uh..."

Yes, that's right. It really happened. Yuu Suzumiya was hit on the head by Temari. That was also the first time he met Yuu Suzumiya. However... he didn't say a word at the time.

But it's a bit far-fetched that Yonomiya would remember him. They were so far apart back then that they probably couldn't even see his face clearly. But I have to say, that's very Yonomiya.

"Although this isn't our first meeting, you still don't know my name, do you? My name is Naganohara Yomiya, and I'm the current manager of the Naganohara Fireworks Shop. I make a living with some small crafts, so please take care of me!"

Xiaogong revealed his two rows of white teeth, his enthusiastic face bearing a smile that was impossible to dislike.

"Ah... my name is Suzumiya Yuu, nice to meet you..."

"Seriously, what's with this strange attraction?" Suzumiya Yu subconsciously told the other person her name.

"Suzumiya Yu? Hmm... I've never heard of that name before, but that's alright, nice to meet you... By the way! Could you do me a favor?"

Suzumiya Yu doesn't have the time to ask for help without explanation.

"no..."
