As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

Xiao Gong replied awkwardly.

"..."

Upon hearing this, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him speechlessly.

"H-I'm sorry...I said it when my head was hot."

Xiao Gong felt a little embarrassed by her, so he touched his head and whispered.

"No, why don't you join the queue for me? Is that okay? A Chuang?"

She looked at the blacksmith man again, asking without giving up.

"Uh - well, it depends on the master..."

The man glanced awkwardly at the old man who was staring at the fire with his back to several people, that is, the store manager here, Tianmu Fifteen.

"Mr. Tianmu, I'm really in a hurry here. As you know, the fireworks show is about to start. It would be bad if we can't finish it."

Xiao Gong explained to the old man with some urgency.

"Huh...Isn't this all because you didn't have a plan at the beginning?"

And even though he had prepared the corresponding amount of materials, he still had to accept those who intervened temporarily... The general complained softly to the girl.

"Um...hug, sorry."

Xiao Gong also knew that he was a little confused at the moment, especially after she said it, he felt a little disappointed.

"Huh...does the old man still have a forging platform?"

"Huh? Girl, do you want to——?"

Tianmu Fifteen turned to look at her.

"Yes, I also know a thing or two about forging skills. Since you are free, let me do it for her."

She slightly rolled up her kimono's furisode, revealing her slender jade-like forearms.

She does know some blacksmithing skills. After all, Inazuma's blacksmithing skills were passed down from her mother Raikage. The other party also taught her some knowledge. Although not as good as the other party, it is enough. After all, Kage is very good at this kind of thing. severe.

"Oh? Girl, do you know blacksmithing?"

Tianmu Fifteen looked at her figure and her iconic pretty face with his shrewd old eyes. The next second, he seemed to know something, his pupils shrank, and then he smiled softly.

"I know, please come forward."

Suddenly he changed his tone and gestured respectfully to her.

"It's work."

She also understood, signaled to him, and asked Xiao Gong to follow him.

"...(General?)"

Xiao Gong was still a little stunned.

"Give me the things, aren't you in a hurry?"

She heard the voice urging.

"Oh well."

Xiao Gong immediately handed over the ore in his hand.

hum~

Half of her blacksmithing skills rely on fire and technique, while the other half requires the blessing of elemental power. Unlike ordinary people, under the eyes of several people, she skillfully carves rough ores into extremely fine fireworks bit by bit. Material.

The elemental power was turned into a part of the forging, and the division of thunder elements was used to correct the details, thereby replacing ordinary people's knife skills. This was the first time they had seen such a unique forging method.

Tianmu Fifteen smiled knowingly at this moment, it was indeed so.

"Amazing…"

As a layman, Xiao Gong was also stunned at this moment.

After a few minutes...

hum~

After the lightning on the surface dissipated, she put the "completely forged ore particles" back into the bag and handed them to Xiao Gong.

"Let's see, is it suitable?"

Such a suggestion.

"Wow——! It fits! It fits so well. Look at the shape and thickness of the particles... As expected of the General——!"

Looking at the intact and detailed Xiaogong in her hand, she became a little excited, but she didn't stop in the process and revealed her identity.

"..."

She rubbed her temples slightly in complete helplessness.

"Eh? General?!"

A Chuang's eyes widened instantly.

The sudden revelation made him a little at a loss, and his movements stopped.

"Xiao Palace..."

At this moment, she narrowed her eyes and softly called the girl's name helplessly.

"Ah——! I'm sorry...I, I..."

Xiao Gong was confused for a moment and became at a loss.

"But that's all...this old man should have noticed it, right?"

She did not blame him but turned to look at the old man with a clear face behind her.

"Haha~! How can I not know the characteristics of the Lord General's holy face? I will know it when I see your eyes."

Tianmu smiled.

Those are eyes that hide a rich thunder light...the same thunder light as this country.

"As expected, the elderly are more sensitive."

She raised her arms slightly and answered.

"You are exaggerating... I just live a long time, haha."

Tianmu smiled heartily again.

"Xiaogong, don't feel so guilty. It's a blessing for the general to treat you like this. Some people can't even see him. Moreover, we are short of manpower recently, otherwise it would be more efficient."

The Third Eye told the girl.

"Well...I know...Thank you, General."

Xiao Gong said to her obediently.

"There is no need for this. I am not a 'general' today, I am just an ordinary traveler."

She comforted him, then put the oil-paper umbrella on her shoulder again, passed him, turned around and glanced at him with her beautiful eyes before leaving.

"Aren't you leaving? If we continue like this, we won't be able to complete the remaining work."

Warmly urge him.

"Ah...I-I'm coming!"

When Xiao Gong came back to his senses, he immediately remembered his own affairs and followed him quickly.

"Master General, go slowly."

Tianmu bowed to her and said goodbye, looking at the two figures in front of him and smiling.

A series of delicate sounds vaguely sounded in my ears. They were not loud and somewhat hypnotic. Why was this?Because she was in a state of sleep at the moment, she didn't know why she fell asleep. After the noise in her ears gradually became closer and clearer, she slowly opened her hazy eyes, and in her blurred vision It was a golden-red figure.

It’s Xiaogong…

She closed her eyes again for a while to calm down the fuzzy mind that she had just woken up from, and then opened her eyes again to make her vision clearer.

What caught his eye was the blond girl who was quietly sitting on the bench in front of the bed playing with fireworks. Maybe because she was attentive, her quiet opening of her eyes did not attract the other person's attention, and she could only see the golden face beside the window, which looked like a veil. A beautiful profile covered with gold gauze.

"……call."

Xiao Gong seemed to have put individual pieces of gunpowder into the tray with chopsticks. His movements were skillful and delicate, with no unnecessary movements at all. After finishing this, the girl raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, then raised her head and said Her eyes met.

"General...are you awake?"

The girl deliberately lowered her voice.

"I'm asleep?"

She removed the furisode that covered her sleeping face, revealing her true face. She moved her body lying on her side on the bed slightly, and her tone was a little confused.

"Hmm... I'm bored when I'm making fireworks, right?"

Xiao Gong nodded and then felt a little embarrassed.

"Huh...it doesn't matter, I like the quiet atmosphere..."

She shook her head slowly.

"Then have I disturbed you before?"

“It’s noisy, but not annoying…”

She raised her lips and answered like this. She leaned on her forearm slightly and put the back of her hand on the side of her face. She was lying on her side in a somewhat glamorous way, facing the other party. During this period, she slightly covered her exposed thighs with her kimono furisode. On the top, the perfect body is accurately revealed through the clothes in this posture.

"Ha ha…"

Xiao Gong smiled upon hearing this, and then looked at another unfinished firework in his hand.

"...Are these unfinished fireworks?"

She asked softly, looking down at the plate box in the girl's hand.

"Hmm... I will add gunpowder to it one by one later, but these are the most basic styles. You see, these are all specially made by me."
