Hearing Lei Yin’s words, Naoko had a scare, and the old woman gave him a strange look.

“Lei, you said you want to see that blade?” Naoko’s two hands tightly grabbed his arm.

“Yes. ” Lei Yin went to the old woman and said: “Please show me the blade in the box okay?”

“Please give me a reason. ” The old woman calmly said.

“I have a friend, his family handed down a similar ominous blade, but later for some reason, the blade was gone. He once asked me to inform his family if I see the blade someday. Therefore, I want to see if that blade was the one he was talking about. ”

The old woman thought for a moment and asked: “What’s your friend’s name?”

“His called Nakawa Meiji, his from the Yagyuu sword faction. ” Speaking of this name, Lei Yin’s eyes flashed a faint sadness, Nagakawa Meiji’s real name is Nagakawa Kyuujirou, a name that made him have different thoughts.

The old woman shook her head, “Your request I’m unable to comply. This blade has a lot of strange things on it, you’re the most important person to Naoko, so I can’t let you take a risk. ”

Lei Yin with a sinking sound said: “That old friend when still alive, I have owed him, although he is dead now, but I want to make some compensations as far as possible and to complete his entrustment, I hope you can understand. ”

Naoko had only ever seen this eyes of Lei Yin, that was when he was in his first year of high school attending the trip to Okinawa. Now seeing this eyes again, Naoko’s heart can’t help but gently tremble.

When the old woman was in deep thought, Naoko loosened her lover’s arm and slowly walked to her side and said: “Grandma, can I ask you to agree to him, please?”

The old woman look up at her, “Naoko, are you sure that doing this is really ok? Don’t forget that this blade is very dangerous. ”

Naoko looked back at her lover gently then with a firm voice said: “His wish is my wish, no matter what happened. I will go with him facing it together. Please grandma grant his request, I beg you. ”

After listening to her words, the old woman sighed gently, “Well, since you insist on doing so, I can only agree. ”

“Thank you grandma. ” Naoko bowed to her.

Naoko went back Lei Yin’s side. Putting her head on his chest and gently said: “Lei, be careful. ”

“Rest assured, I’ll be fine. You go out with your grandmother first. ” Lei Yin lowered his head and kiss her forehead.

After a deep look at his eyes, Naoko and the old woman went out of the room.

After they went outside, Lei Yin went in front of the table, after glancing for a bit, he reach out to untied the curve jade tied to the wooden box.

Because these things are tied tightly, and in a dead knot, Lei Yin had no choice but to take out a knife to cut the cord.

The above attachments is all clean after. Only the surface of the box is left with a very strange ofuda(paper talisman).

He drew the knife in the opening location and cut the ofuda a slit.

Putting the knife away, Lei Yin slowly opened the box.

Seeing his action, Naoko that’s looking outside had her whole heart raised. At this time, no one knows what will happen when the box is opened.

Finally, she saw the box was entirely opened.

At this time, everything around is very tranquil, and nothing happened. Naoko slightly relieved.

But wen she looked at Lei Yin’s back, she suddenly found that he seems to be a little different than usual.

At this point there’s a feeling that can’t be expressed in words, although because she can only see the back and can’t see his face, but from his back, Naoko can clearly feel this.

Then, she saw Lei Yin extend his right hand towards the position of the hilt.

He’s going to pick up the blade? A look of fear appeared in Naoko’s eyes.

Remembering her grandma said those two personal experience, with absolute concern, Naoko can’t help but called out: “Lei, don’t…”

But before she finished, the old woman suddenly held her hand and whispered: “Do not bother him. ”

Naoko did not dare to speak again, and can only worriedly and anxiously look at Lei Yin.

Finally, Lei Yin’s right hand held the the hilt, and then slowly put the blade vertically.
