Chapter 657: Fuzugawa Miya (8)
As a family of priests with a long history, the Shenli family has quite a few collections in their library. In addition to their family records, there are also some manuscripts.
After Yun Ci went in, she didn't want to come out. She wished she could have three meals a day and even stay there at night.
But every time the time comes, either Shenli's father or Shenli's mother can always pull Yunci out accurately.
While Yun Ci was immersed in knowledge, the cooperation between the Kamiri family, the Demon Slayer Corps, and the Swordsmith Village was officially agreed upon.
The Shenli family specially added a new paper-making yard, which is specifically used to make this kind of paper with iron powder added.
However, since the Daylight Talisman that can be used to cooperate with the Demon Slayer Corps was created by Yun Ci himself, the cooperation with the Demon Slayer Corps was left to Yun Ci.
At least no one in the Shenli family had any objections on the surface. This cooperation was negotiated by Yun Ci herself. Even if there were a few people who had objections, they didn't dare to say it openly.
The first time the Swordsmith Village sent iron powder to the Kamiri family, it was Ubuyashiki Amane and Ubuyashiki Kyouya, who came with Ubuyashiki Teriyachi and Kocho Kanae.
Yun Ci was in the library at the time and was urgently pulled out to wash and tidy up.
"I washed my face when I got up today!"
"Miss, this is for entertaining guests."
"What kind of guests are my aunt and uncle?"
The maid just looked at Yun Ci and smiled: "This is what the Madam ordered."
The right to speak in their family is indeed held by Shenli's mother.
Yun Ci became obedient instantly, sitting obediently on the stool and allowing the maids to help her change her head.
It's called a change of hairstyle, but in fact it's just a slightly more formal hairstyle and a slightly more formal kimono.
The breeze blew the iron sheets and wind chimes hanging under the eaves, making pleasant sounds.
"Tatttattt——"
The sound of hurried footsteps let the people chatting in the room know who was coming.
Several people stopped talking and looked towards the door with a smile, and saw a girl with a cherry blossom tassel hairpin sticking her head out and speaking in a low voice.
"Excuse me~"
Butterfly Kanae, who was closest to the door, was so touched by her cuteness that she couldn't help but wave to Yun Ci. When Yun Ci came over, she hugged her in her arms.
"How cute, little porcelain."
Although she already has two younger sisters, Yun Ci and her two younger sisters are of different types.
Butterfly Chanae likes them all.
Yun Ci blinked: "Sister Kanae?"
"Hmm?" Butterfly Kanae smiled.
"I can sit by myself."
"well--"
Butterfly Kanae reluctantly let Yunci go. Xiaonin and Kanao don’t allow them to hug her like this now, and Xiaoci doesn’t like it either. It’s a pity.
Yun Ci sat down and greeted the visitor formally.
"Aunt, uncle, brother Hui Liya, sister Kanae, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Ubuyashiki Yoya's voice was very gentle, "Amane and I are relieved to see that you are safe."
Shenli's mother looked at her daughter and said helplessly, "I just found out that she left without even meeting you. This child is really..."
Ubuyashiki Teriyachi raised his voice slightly: "My sister has met me."
Shenli's mother was startled, then smiled and said, "The two children have such a good relationship, this is a good thing."
Yun Ci pretended not to understand what they were saying, and smiled and thanked Hui Liya: "You are worthy of being my brother. Thank you for speaking up for me~"
Ubuyashiki Teriyachi shook his head indifferently: "You're welcome."
Shen Li's mother quietly glared at her daughter: "Look at her temper. She is obviously much older than Hui Li Ya, but she doesn't seem as stable as Hui Li Ya."
"Xiaoci is still young." Ubuyashiki Amane comforted her, "When I was Xiaoci's age, I had a similar temperament. Brother knows that."
Shenli's father agreed with a smile: "But this child is much more lively than you were back then. I really don't know who he takes after."
Shenli's mother smiled kindly and said "Hmm?" "If you say that, then you are saying that Xiaoci looks like me."
Shenli's father looked at her with a smile, his expression gentle and tolerant.
Shenli's mother snorted softly: "Well, Xiaoci is indeed more like me."
A few people laughed, and the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.
The main purpose of their visit this time was to deliver iron powder, and to purchase some talisman paper from Yunci, and to take Tianyin back to her parents' home.
Three birds with one stone.
"Shimizu used the talisman you gave him to experiment. He said that with just one talisman, any demon he encountered would be burned to ashes, just like a demon exposed to sunlight in broad daylight." Ubuyashiki Yoya said, "But this talisman is a little inconvenient for the children of the Demon Slayer Corps. They need to stick the talisman on the demon's body by hand..."
They have no spiritual power and cannot control the talisman to fly, so they have to enter the body of a ghost.
This is very difficult for some weak swordsmen, so it can only be used as an auxiliary.
Ubuyashiki Yoya did not plan to buy too many. It would be enough for each swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps to bring three as spares. For the swordsmen, the most important thing was the Nichirin Sword in their hands.
The Demon Slayer Corps has hundreds of swordsmen, and if each swordsman has three cards, it is not a small number.
Yun Ci has been reading in the library recently and hasn't been drawing many talismans.
"I only have about a hundred Sunlight Talismans at most. Uncle, give me some time. I will definitely finish drawing them next time I come to see you."
"Okay, these are enough, and we'll take our time with the rest." Ubuyashiki Yoya and Ubuyashiki Amane looked at each other and continued, "We also brought a gift for you, Xiaoci, this time."
"Eh?"
Ubuyashiki Tenon stood up, walked to the door and called out, then saw a small white crow fluttering its wings and landing in front of Yunci.
The crow was probably only slightly bigger than a sparrow. It hopped a few times and observed Yun Ci with its head tilted.
"This is the Crow we gave you. It is the child of Tianyin's Crow. It is very smart."
"Wow--"
Yun Ci reached out and carefully touched the head of the crow.
The crow jumped happily twice again and rubbed Yunci's fingertips with its head.
"Uncle, have you given it a name?"
"Since it's a gift to you, you have to choose the name for it."
"Then let's call you Xiaobai!" Yun Ci held Xiaobai in her hands, "You are white and clean all over, the name Xiaobai suits you very well!"
"Ga-bai-ga-like-"
"As long as you like it."
Xiaobai flew to Yunci's shoulder, put his face close to hers, and then stood there listening. It was very quiet.
Ubuyashiki Yoya and others did not spend the night at Kamioka's house. He did not want to attract the ghost's attention here, so he said goodbye and left early.
Yun Ci followed and sent them to the door, waving her arms and saying, "Aunt, give me some more time! I'll come and play with you guys after I finish reading!"
Ubuyashiki Tenon responded with a smile, and they all bowed and said goodbye before getting on the carriage.
Shenli's mother asked, "Xiaoci."
"Ok?"
"What do you think of Huiliya?"
"Brother Teriya? He's fine."
"That--"
"Mom." Yun Ci interrupted Shen Li's mother, "The Ghost King will definitely be eliminated within the next few years. Hui Liya doesn't need to worry, and I don't need to worry either. We can all make choices according to our own wishes--"
