Dragon 3: Tide of the Black Moon (1)

As night falls on Tokyo, the neon lights on the long street light up from east to west, turning Tokyo from a plain-clad sports girl to a seductive lady in the night.

On the terrace called "Seijinji", a tatami mat is laid out and a 200-kilogram deep-sea bluefin tuna is placed on a long table. The bright, mirror-like Hongyaki knife cuts the belly of the fish, and the flesh is as attractive as pink marble. Surrounding this main course are teriyaki blowfish, charcoal-grilled turbot, oyster shrimp sashimi, and blue lobster sashimi flown in from France, with a mellow and fragrant sake chilling in the sake jug.

Tonight, our chef is at the helm, and the treatment is far superior to that of a three-star Michelin restaurant at noon. The chef has served the emperor's family and has repeatedly conquered foreign ambassadors with his delicious sashimi at state banquets, and his students are in the Japanese kitchens of five-star hotels throughout Tokyo. To entertain the Ministry's VIPs, the chef himself has created a dish called "Life as a Summer Flower", which is based on the poetry of Tagore's "Birds of Prey" and presents the grandest and most splendid side of Japanese cuisine to diners. But in the view of Gen Wishing, this is purely a beautiful eye for the blind, the three-two hundred people across the table do not know how to appreciate the splendor of summer flowers, and are immersed in the daytime shopping gains.

Chu Zhang bought a Kansai iron teapot and the roasted fruit that Susie asked him to bring, Lu Mingfei bought a limited edition handicraft of Asahina Minoru, and Caesar's purchase was being parked downstairs in what was a van. Caesar went into the lacquerware store and looked through the catalog and said this three of each please give me a good package, then he hired a box truck and drove over, then went into the Kyoto silverware store and said silver tea set thirty sets to start loading it, then went into the "seven treasure burn" store ...... he was in the night watchman The discussion forum posted that he would bring a gift to everyone in the student body, and in this regard, he is a man of his word.

Source Wakizashi as a whole day tour guide and guide, watching Caesar with a box truck from this store to that store, swipe card again; watching Lu Mingfei in the streets of Akihabara and cosplay girls together, together with this together with that; watching Chu Zhang strolling alone in the streets, sweeping his eyes over everything, but like indifferent to anything. Until the overcast clouds over the sky narrow beans of rain fell, Lu Mingfei and Caesar followed the scattered people running up together with the rain, and Chu Zhang had full preparation, open the accompanying Burberry umbrella stroll in the rain, cherry blossoms fell on his umbrella. The three men are too nervous or confident, and they will be on an "ss" level high-risk mission tomorrow night, but they don't see how much tension they have.

"Is this the stripped doll you like, Asahina Miki Jukuro? What a horny toy." Caesar watched curiously as Lu Mingfei fiddled with the mannequin, "But with her clothes off she's just a plastic doll with a mediocre figure."

"First of all, this is not called stripped dolls this is called handicrafts, and secondly, this is not some kind of sex toy, can take off clothes because there is a change function not letting you take off the clothes to watch naked!"

"I saw a store that sells similar, as big as real people, can also change clothes." Caesar sipped his sake.

"You're in some weird adult store by mistake, aren't you? That's not a hand puppet it's an inflatable doll!"

"Oh, it is indeed inflatable ...... I was also curious about why the Japanese were making human-shaped life preservers."

This kind of nutritionless to white source wakizashi does not want to listen to go on, he would like to immediately get up and go away but can not, can only look down and wipe the spider cut.

"Can I see your knife?"

Genchisei raised his head and met Chu Zhang's eyes, and he remembered that Chu Zhang's usual weapon was also a Japanese sword. Chu Zhang took it with both hands and gazed at the blade by the faint light of the candle flame on the table. He blew out the candle flame, after the light source disappeared the spider cut instead brightened up as if there was an invisible cold moon illuminating it in the night sky.

"Hey hey can not put out the light ah, the black light I will eat mustard into the nostrils." Lu Mingfei said.

"It's an ancient knife, right? Such an expensive thing still used as a weapon?" Chu Zhang handed back the spider cut.

"Putting it in a sword museum is considered an antique," said Genchiyo faintly, "but a sword still has to be used to be called a sword, and if you put it in a museum it's just a corpse of a sword."

"Always feel through an aura of blood." Chu Zhang said.

"Knives are made to be dirty, the more you use them, the dirtier they get, the blood that has been stained can be washed away, but the fishy smell stays on them." Genchiku said, "I saw you use a Japanese knife too."

"Dad left something behind, but then it broke off, and now I'm using a replica."

"Your father?"

"Passed away." Chu Zhang said faintly, "Can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

Chu Zhang took out a box from his backpack and opened it in front of Minamoto Wakizashi, inside was a finger-long broken blade: "This is an alchemical product, whether it's an ancient or contemporary piece, not many people can strike this blade. I've heard that the heritage of Japanese swords is clear, so I should be able to find out the origin of this blade from the fragment."

Genchiku re-lit the candle and looked at the pattern of the blade by the light: "This is an antique, butcher's iron-made, and this blade pattern is called 'Inatsuma', with a folded pattern in the shape of electric light. This knife can't be less than three hundred years old, and it can fetch hundreds of millions of yen at auctions, so the person who can use it as a weapon should have strong financial resources. Does it have a sword inscription?"

"There is no inscription, but it has a strange characteristic that if wielded for a long time, dew will condense on the blade, and each swing of the blade is like splashing rain."

"This is the characteristic of the 'Murray' mentioned in the biography of Minamisato Satomi Yagyu, which says that the blade automatically condenses dew after killing to clean the blood on the blade. However, Murray is fictional, and the condensation of dew on the blade is a property of some alchemical swords, and the dew comes from the moisture in the air. According to these clues should be able to find out the builder of this knife, and even its heritage. Let's leave this matter to the Japanese branch, it should give you a satisfactory answer."
