Fumino Furuhashi looked increasingly weird as he flipped through the "Material Encyclopedia" which was full of pictures and texts.

After a while, Bugu Qiaowen turned back and looked at Qingshui Spring.

"Quan, this looks a bit like an occult book. When did you become interested in occult books?"

Listening to Furuhashi Fumino's inquiry, a strange color suddenly flashed in Yukinoshita's eyes.

She shifted part of her attention and quietly observed the changes in Qing Shuiquan's expression.

"That's the last two days." Qing Shuiquan replied casually.

"emm~" Fumino Furuhashi blinked his eyes cutely, "Izumi, you probably became interested in the occult because you watched that movie, right?"

"Movies..." Qing Shuiquan shook his head, "That's just an inducement, not the most important factor."

"So, what's the most important factor?"

"Can't say yet."

"Is that so..." Fumino Furuhashi thought again of the two girls he met on his way home last Thursday.

Quan's behavior at that time was also very strange, and no specific explanation was given.

Somehow, her intuition involuntarily connected the two things.

I can't say it yet...

Furukashi Fumino bit her lip, and instead of asking further about the matter, she asked instead.

"Quan, what about kendo? Are you still practicing?"

"Of course you have to practice!" Qing Shuiquan said decisively.

The upper limit of swordsmanship is no lower than that of magic. In addition, he has the talent of "research and development expert" and can perfectly integrate magic and swordsmanship.

In this case, why did he give up swordsmanship?Wouldn’t it be better to go hand in hand and develop in an all-round way?

"Oh~ That's good." Furukashi Fumino breathed a sigh of relief.

At present, Quan is developing very well on the road of swordsmanship. He has already become a disciple of Beichen Sword Master, and his future is destined to be bright.

Wouldn't it be a great loss if Quan gave up the path of swordsmanship due to some strange things at this time?

"..."

Listening to the conversation between Furuhashi Fumino and Qingshuiquan, Yukinoshita's doubts deepened.

Why did Qing Shuiquan suddenly become interested in occultism?What is the most important factor?Is it related to the memory of Beichen Sword Master?

Plus, there’s this book…

Yesterday, she didn't seem to see a book called "Material Encyclopedia" on the bookshelf of "Night Crow's Nest".

Did she miss it?

Let's go check it out after school in the afternoon. It just so happens that "Night Crow's Nest" is on her way home, so she won't waste much time.

.........

Afternoon, "Night Crow's Nest"

"Jinglingling~~"

"welcome."

When the welcoming bell rang, Hiiragi Shinoa, who was playing with her mobile phone at the counter, opened her mouth to welcome people without raising her head.

Yukinoshita was the same as yesterday, without making a sound, and walked in silently by herself.

After arriving at the books area, Yukinoshita screened carefully step by step from bottom to top, from left to right.

The book section of "Nightcrow's Nest" is not very big, with only two bookshelves and a total of no more than five hundred books.

It only took Yukinoshita 5 minutes to check all the books in the book section.

"No......"

Yukinoshita's eyebrows were furrowed and she murmured.

Why not?Is it out of stock?

Yukinoshita thought for a moment, then turned around and walked to the counter, staring from top to bottom at Shinoa Hiiragi who was having fun playing on her mobile phone.

"Guest, what can I do?"

Shinoa Hiiragi put down her phone and looked up at Yukinoshita.

When she saw Yukinoshita's face, Hiiragi Shinoa raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I would like to ask if there is a book called "Encyclopedia of Materials"." Yukinoshita said straight to the point.

""Material Encyclopedia"..."

Hiiragi Shinoa held her chin and asked thoughtfully: "Guest, where did you learn about this book?"

"Yesterday our minister purchased a "Material Encyclopedia" from you. I learned about it from him."

"Minister?" Hiiragi Shinoa immediately caught the key word.

She rolled her eyes and asked with interest: "Does your minister know about your coming here?"

101. "Yukishita's Observation Diary"

Yukinoshita frowned, "Do I need to ask in such detail to buy a book?"

"Hehehe~" Hiiragi Shinoa smiled, "Of course not, but you are not an insider, so I can't sell you that book."

"Huh? Industry insiders? What do you mean?" Yukinoshita's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

Hiiragi Shinoa smiled and said nothing. No matter how sharp Yukinoshita's eyes were, the smile on her lips did not change at all.

"..."

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Yukinoshita gradually lost her ability.

After she frowned and thought for a while, she asked in a deep voice: "How much money do you need to explain to me what the so-called industry insiders are?"

Hiiragi Shinoa smiled and said: "Guest, this is the rule of our industry. We cannot leak industry information to irrelevant personnel. This is not a matter of money. Please forgive me for being unable to help."

“Isn’t it okay to spend too much money?”

"Yes, it is."

"..."

Yukinoshita said nothing more and silently turned around and left the "Night Crow's Nest".

Not long after, Yukinoshita returned home and put her homework aside, and immediately started searching for information about "Night Crow's Nest" on the Internet.

"There are many things about occultism, but the attitude of the shopkeepers is a bit cold. I have been to several "Night Crow's Nest" stores in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Kobe, and other places. The attitude of their shopkeepers is very cold. , this is probably their business characteristic?”

"The products are indeed relatively complete, but they have no special features. You can also buy them in other stores, but in terms of price, 'Night Crow's Nest' is slightly cheaper."

"Picture, this is the skull I bought last time at the "Night Crow's Nest" in Bunkyo District, Tokyo. I think it's okay."

After browsing for a while, Yukinoshita closed the page expressionlessly.

Found no useful information at all...

"Qingshuiquan... Qingshuiquan... what on earth are you doing?"

Looking at the computer screen saver, Yukinoshita felt inexplicably irritable.

It's really strange. Ever since there was a problem with Qing Shui Quan's sword power last Thursday, she has felt that Qing Shui Quan has become a little strange. Even now, she can't figure out what Qing Shui Quan is doing.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the memory Qing Shuiquan inherited?

Yukinoshita bit her lip, her heart getting more and more irritated, and she felt a little worried.

no!We have to figure this out!

In recent days, I have carefully observed Qingshuiquan to see what happened to him!

.........

Yukinoshita's observation diary.

On Tuesday, Qingshuiquan reads the "Compendium of Materials" at noon and practices sword practice in the afternoon.

Wednesday, read "Material Encyclopedia" and practice swordsmanship.

On Thursday, Qingshuiquan changed the book, the book is called "Basic Talisman Encyclopedia", and practiced swordplay as usual in the afternoon.

On Friday, read "Encyclopedia of Basic Talismans" and practice swordsmanship.

.........

In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

On Saturday, Yukinoshita, who had difficulty studying calmly, was filled with thoughts of Qingshuiquan.

She was very sure that the clear water spring where she practiced swordplay in the afternoon was the clear water spring she was familiar with, but the clear water spring where she read occult books at noon was too unfamiliar to her...

Occultism... Occultism... Is there really mystery in this world?伵

Feeling irritable, Yukinoshita turned on the computer and calmed her emotions through cute pet videos. Unknowingly, all the time during the day was wasted.

At night, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, the snow gradually calmed down.

She hugged her legs and sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly looking at the city in the rainy night.

In the smoke-like rain curtain, the blurry neon lights are like a dream steaming far away.

"Gululu~~"

At this moment, Yukinoshita's stomach suddenly made a sound.

She rubbed her belly, got up and walked to the kitchen.

Only to find that the ingredients in the refrigerator have been used up.

"Ah~"

Yukinoshita sighed softly, reluctantly changed her clothes, took her umbrella, and left the apartment.

.........

Time moves forward several days.

Wednesday night, Qingshui's house.

Qing Shuiquan was lying in front of the desk, writing down the materials needed for the Strengthening Imprint on the white paper one stroke at a time.

After reading the "Material Encyclopedia" for a few days, he finally equated the magic materials of the two worlds, and he could finally start making the physical engraving.

Looking at the newly released materials list, Qing Shuiquan thought for a while and added dozens of unrelated materials to it.

After everything was done, Qing Shuiquan took the materials list and bank card and took advantage of the night to arrive at the "Night Crow's Nest".

"I want these things." Qing Shuiquan calmly handed the list of materials to Hiiragi Shinoa.

"Hey~ I need a lot, let me see what they are." Hiiragi Shinoa took the list and read it carefully.

After a while, Hiiragi Shinoa looked up at Qingshuiquan.

"Except for the Dragon Blood Tree Heart, which has to wait two days, everything else is in stock. Do you want to get it now?"

Qing Shuiquan frowned slightly, "How many days do Shu Xin need to wait?"

The most important material for strengthening the body engraving is the heart of the dragon blood tree. Without it, other materials are useless.

In addition, the so-called "dragon blood" is not really related to "dragon", it is just a nice name, just like the famous dish "Thunder Split Green Dragon" is actually a cucumber.

"Two or three days, that stuff is rare, so we need to get it from other places."

"Okay, I understand. Let's wait until Shu Xin arrives and then we can pick up the goods together. By the way, you can first calculate how much it will cost."

"Okay..." Hiiragi Shinoa took out the calculator and calculated each item on the list.

"The heart of a century-old dragon's blood tree, 3000 million yen."

"One hundred magic grasses, 50 yen"

"One hematite bamboo shoot costs 70 yen"

"Mandrake..."
