Although Ivan didn't know when he started to have feelings for his own sword, once he realized his feelings, he began to think about how to conquer it.

However, reality was cruel.

Not only did he have to learn a lot of things every day, but his Qing Guang had also begun to avoid him.

Could it be that he had been caught kissing her that night?

That shouldn't be the case, or else Qing Guang wouldn't have treated him so calmly the next day.

"Very good, now you can successfully forge the sword." Violet Orchid nodded in satisfaction.

These days, she had been arranging lectures in the morning and practicing in the afternoon. After the forging room was almost blown up, Violet Orchid had been very strict in supervising Ivan's control of his spiritual power.

Then, she discovered something that surprised Violet Orchid.

At first, Violet Orchid thought that Ivan's spiritual power was too strong and difficult to control, but in fact, that wasn't the case. On the contrary, his control was very precise. As for why the forging room had been blown up, it was only because the way he released his spiritual power was different.

With Ivan's operation, he was used to releasing the spiritual power he had stored up in one go. As long as it wasn't a living thing, very few things could bear this power.

Therefore, the first thing Violet Orchid did was to correct the way Ivan released his spiritual power.

"Since you can successfully forge the sword, there shouldn't be a problem forging the sword."

Throwing the prepared materials into the furnace, Violet Orchid took a step back and said, "Try it. Be careful not to release your spiritual power in one go. It has to be gentle, slow, and gentle … Yes, that's it."

The forging furnace was working as normal!

Ivan was so happy that he almost slipped. He awkwardly smiled at the "gentle" Violet Orchid and tried his best to finish the last of his spiritual power.

After one set, Ivan was almost exhausted. When he saw the timer counting down from 1: 30, Ivan was almost moved to tears.

He didn't expect that in a different world, the way he released his spiritual power was completely different. However, this was also the first time he could freely use his spiritual power without relying on skills, so it didn't feel bad.

Although Ivan still liked to pick up swords on the battlefield, it was just as Violet Orchid had said. Not only was it inefficient, but it was also highly risky. After all, many powerful swords could only be picked up on battlefields of higher difficulty.

With Ivan's current troop deployment, it was unlikely that they would go to such a dangerous place.

One and a half hours later, Ivan welcomed the results of his first knife forging.

"I'm Yamato Moriyasu.

One of Okita Soki's favorite swords.

It's not easy to use, but I think the performance is not bad.

Please advise me. "

"Okita Soki … Is he the one who had the same master as Qing Guang?"

Ivan remembered that Jiazhou Qingguang and Yamato Moriyasu from Violet Orchid's house were good friends who often went in and out together.

Although they themselves did not admit that their relationship with each other was very good.

"Jiazhou Qingguang is here too?" Yamato Moriyasu's expression was a little strange, with both expectation and disdain.

Don't try to guess what he was thinking.

"Well, but now he's out. Sigh … that guy left me as his attendant. It's a dereliction of duty."

Ivan whispered, then turned to Violet Orchid and said, "Is that all for today?

I'll take my new member back to familiarize himself with the environment. "

"Okay, but when you go back, you have to complete the knife forging task. I'll check it tomorrow."

"… I really wonder if you cut it open and it's not black."

"Hey hey hey ~"

Ignoring Violet Orchid's pure and flawless smile, Ivan pulled Mamoru Yamato and quickly retreated to avoid more homework.

"Is this our Honmaru?

It's so beautiful. "

Ivan paused. "No, this is Violet Orchid's Honmaru. Well, it's the one with purple hair."

Yamato Moriyasu was stunned. He did not expect that he would be born from someone else's Honmaru.

"Our house …" He pulled Mamoru Yamato and stepped into the teleportation point. The scenery in front of him suddenly changed qualitatively.

"Quite … close to nature?" Yamato Moriyasu thought for a long time before he spat out a more pertinent word.

"It can't be helped. Our Honmaru has only been established for three months and is seriously understaffed. Fortunately, Violet Orchid told me a lot of things, so now we're on the right scale. Otherwise, haha, in short, everything will slowly get better."

Yamato Moriyasu found that his master seemed to be quite easy to get along with, although he was frightened by the sacred aura at first sight.

He followed behind Ivan, listening to the explanation while looking at the place where he would live in the future.

"… So you're the first sword I got through forging. But thinking about it, it's really fate. Qing Guang is my first sword. Haha, both of my firsts were taken away by you two brothers."

Mamoru Yamato blushed with shame. First time … it felt like his master was right. Who else is that guy's brother? We don't have that good of a relationship, hmph ~

But he now knew why he was born in someone else's Honmaru. He did not expect his master to be such an amazing person. He did not know how he would use him.

Passing by the courtyard bridge, Mamoru Yamato was attracted by the fish in the water.

Shouldn't the fish in the courtyard be ornamental fish?

Why do they all look like they're edible?

And they look quite delicious.

"Oh?

Which one do you like?

Tonight, I'll let Songxian fish it out and stew it for you. Treat it as a welcome party. "

"Eh?

No … "

"I think the one with the white fin is good. Let's eat it tonight."

"That …"

Yamato Moriyasu wanted to say something, but his master seemed to have made up his mind, so he could only swallow his words.

His master seemed to be a chatterbox who did things his own way.

"Ow ow —!"

"Wow —!"

A huge white shadow rushed over as fast as lightning. Yamato Moriyasu was shocked and almost pulled out his sword.

"Good boy —" Ivan rubbed the Great White's head hard, turned around and introduced it to Yamato Moriyasu. "This is the pet Great White. It's very powerful."

Seven-star legendary pets were not to be trifled with. According to the swordsmen who had brought the Great White to the battlefield, the Great White was a very powerful support. It could scout, search for enemies, and find new swords in the first place.

Yamato Moriyasu calmed down. So it was a pet. "This is the first time I've seen such a big dog."

"Dog?

The Great White is a wolf. "

The hand that was rubbing the Great White's head froze. Just as he was wondering if he would be bitten, the Great White gave Yamato Moriyasu a saliva salute.

"Ahahaha, stop licking. It tickles. Hehehe …"

"Hehe …"

Mamoru Yamato's face suddenly turned red. Uh, he was so happy playing with the Great White that he neglected his master. Was his master looking at him all this time??

"Is there something on my face?"

"Hmm?

No, I just feel that you two look a little alike when you smile. "Ivan's eyes curved as he spoke.

Yamato Moriyasu was confused. Although he didn't know who his master was comparing him to, he said, "Master is the one. You look better when you smile."

Ivan happily gave him a bigger smile. After chatting for a while, he continued to show him around the Honmaru.

"But then again, no one is here."

He saw other people's toiletries, but no one was here. Although he heard that they had very few people now, he didn't expect it to be this small.

"Well, including you, we only have a total of 16 companions. We can't even form a basic team of four."

Not only were there few people, but half of the members were made up of short swords. Fortunately, there was Ichijin to help take care of them.

While they were talking, they had finished looking around the small Honmaru, and Ivan forged two new swords in the forging room. Three hours later, they would be able to welcome two newcomers.

"It's still early. Let's go to Manya to buy some things."

Considering the increase in the number of people in the future, Ivan bought a lot of bedding and daily necessities this time, filling all ten backpacks and item bars. Not only were Mamoru Yamato's hands full, even the Great White was holding a bag in his mouth.

The expedition team was the first to return. As soon as they entered, they were shocked by the mountain of luggage piled up at the entrance.

Songxian was stunned for a while. First, he saw Mamoru Yamato, "New companions?"

"Hello, I'm Yamato Moriyasu, Okita Soki's beloved sword."

After greeting each other, Songxian asked about the current situation. At this time, Ivan poked his head out from a pile of junk, "Oh, you guys came back just in time. We can forge swords soon. I think we will have more companions, so I bought a lot. Can you help me pack these into the empty room?"

Songxian readily agreed. He went back to the room with the short swords to change into their underwear and pack up.

"By the way, there are two more companions coming today. We'll have a banquet tonight. Also, we'll fish out the one with the whitest fins in the pond and stew it." Ivan suddenly turned to look at Yamato Mamoru. "What flavor do you like?

Steamed?

Braised?

Or secret? "

"I … I'm fine with anything."

It turned out that the master was not just joking. He really ordered the fish to be stewed, and the master's words made it sound like he was the one who insisted on eating it.

Ivan nodded and said to Songxian, "Well, it's up to you. He's not picky."

Songxian nodded silently and muttered something uncouth. Yamato Moriyasu felt that he needed to explain and light a candle for the poor fish.

He did not expect that he would lose the life of a fish just because he took an extra look.

Don't worry, in order not to let your sacrifice be in vain, I'll eat more.

Yamato Moriyasu thought so.

***

Yamato Moriyasu: It's just because I took an extra look at you in the school of fish.
