Many hours ago, as Yinghua arrived at the home of the lecher, she transformed herself into male, and go to the forgery room, as she passed the rooms of the blacksmith, she cannot help to say “Is this truly a pig pen or something?” as she looks to the messy room and dirty trashes around the area, cannot be help, she get the broom at the side and start to clean swiftly and use the set cloth to remove the stubborn dirt and wash the dirtied cloth on the wooden bucket, few minutes pass, she finish her job and find her student sleeping and snoring, truly a pig, except that he is well built body, then he proceed to the forgery room and saw all the materials are completely lay down according to her order and set, she then start the setting fire in the blazing furnace, and begins the hammering sessions as soon her sleepy student awaken from her noise racket from the clashing metals in the hammering anvil.
She used her first life name because she is lazy to think about this small matter, well last name Smith is well appropriate to one of her expertise, nevertheless all of her first life memories is so special for her, indicates the whole life of Jake Smith, although not a born genius, but a kid with a determination and goals for life, willing to learn anything that can be useful to live, always hardworking and seeking good opportunities, become an owner of a company by sweat, blood and tears, until he rises from poverty life to a grandeur and luxurious life, he participated in many business and support the poor citizen to rise just like his, because of anime, he become an Otaku culture fan, and start his leisure life in collecting anime stuff and become a rich gamer and successful streamer in the net, but that was the end of fame and fortune due to gasoline station explosion that cause a huge pillar of flames that consume anything that near and that’s includes him, ended suddenly in just explosion without complete savoring the life of being rich, what a poor taste in his mouth.
Jake suddenly reveals a special brace on his hands and then with a single wave of his hands, all the weapons disappears, then he tossed his brace which Valrog catch and equip it his right arm and Jake throws another brace to Valrog.
“Keep it, used that to get our tent where we set the products, also the water and fruits that we need to sustain ourselves in case” Jake instruct.
“Yes, Master” Valrog replied.
“Do not reveal your name and I in front of customer, just use some fake names, who knows if there something nasty will happen” Jake added as he remember the days when he is selling goods to customer, when he notice a suspicious one on the side, it was a spy from another shop, often sooner he confront it and the spy scram to run away in shame after his intentions are being busted by Jake.
“I’ll keep that in mind, Master shall we go?” Valrog ask.
“Sure we’ll gonna bath in pool of golds” Jake answer casually.
Sooner they are already prepare and good to set to take a long trip to the central market as Valrog locked his home and went to the side of his master as they trailing the road, Jake then explain to Valrog the uses of the brace and each weapon he makes and how to deal with the customer and see through their intentions and staying alert in the money transactions to avoid failure in accounting the revenue and sales.
Later on, the two reach the market, busy streets, dusty roads, crowded places, vendors introducing products to every customer they see, thief kids looting on side of the customers bag and pouches, such poverty is still living whenever Jake goes.
“See that empty lot over there, set the tent there and prepare the pricing, confidence and well informatics is needed, I’ll have to go to my destination and task my helper to aid you in sales and commercializing our weaponry products, keep an eye to those thief bastards” Jake instruct and seriousness, as he look to the farther side, where there is a group of bulky men that making their way to crowd by pushing and pummeling the bystanders who are blocking their way.
Jake start to move away and Valrog start to place the weapon set on the shelves and holders as he put the price tag and wait for the said helper as he saw the fading silhoute of his master in the crowd.
Few moments later, a hooded figure come from the crowd and move to the tent shop of Valrog, she then examine Valrog and then come closer to him.
“I’m Sakura, older sister of Jake, you are Valrog right? Disciple of my brother, he sends me here to assist you in promoting the said items” Yinghua then remove her hood and reveal an ephemeral beauty beyond parrelled, she then remove some of her covering coat and reveal a decorated blouse with long sleeves, short skirt, long stockings and black boots with white linen in each part, Valrog take a gulp of saliva upon see her huge bust that taken a shape in the tight blouse, her perfect broaden hips and deadly curves, her skin so white like she never in a sun bath before, her face is like a descend goddess, such fiery eyes and well knitted hair in bun and ornamented with a decors as the bangs are perfectly arrange in her face, such exquisite beauty, surely if she assist, she will take a horde of customers and more of that, a horde of suitors who will be charm by her alluring looks, he can’t help but feel his erection become emerge in his pants and being amazed to such beauty in his front.
All the people in the crowd were now focused on a sudden emerged beauty in their front as she garners their eyes to focus only to her.
Valrog can’t help just to give a sign expression, if he only just win the bet yesterday, he will be indulge in such ecstasy and arousing aphrodisiac every night as he caressed the promising lady in his well-built body and strong and fierce manliness that hiding inside his pants, and waiting to rupture the holes of this lady hiding in her lower body and release his impending lust, but he lose crazily and then he just erased all his desires since then.
He also notices that she also have a brace in her right hand and with one wave of her hand, a bunch of music instruments and a flag? Yep a beautiful flag, a pair of fans and some strange equipment at the side.
“Are you ready Sir Arcus?” Yinghua ask as she looks to her disciple while disguising herself as an assistant.
“I’m ready, let’s begin this!” Valrog said as he then reveal his product in the crowd.
Yinghua then wears a decorated cap and start chant a volume increasing technique and “Poltergeist Illusionary Array Technique” On the musical instruments and to herself, then she controlled all the music instrument as they float and start to move and making music, then she begin the opening music theme, the aria of the anime song she recalled in her past life along the Idols dance moves she learned by copying it and practice it at home.
She then started to dance and sing, at first it was a mild voice singing, making a smooth dance step paired up with coordinated arm and hand movement, after the intro music and she suddenly become to divided into three, both have similar looks and suits, but different in hair styles, hair color and suit color, there are three Yinghuas showing and they are now singing and dancing in perfect sync, although their lyrical singing, dance patterns and movement are new to the eyes of the crowd, but it still enjoyable as they dancing along the flow of the music while combining it with their sweet song and when they reach the chorus of the song.
From their side emerged another two Yinghua dancers with the same dress but differs in hair color and styles and the suit color, they become the second voices and they are now making the dance flow more vivid and lively, showing a dramatically dance moves, as the crowd become to sway and wave their hands to follow the music and songs, suddenly fans emerged from the four Yinghua Dancers, and the flag flew spinning and caught by the original Yinhua as she spins the flag metal bar and making a flashy moves as she keep spinning and making few tricks in the flag, when the song finishes, they made a charming and cute pose.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Razor’s Weaponry shop grand opening, now on sales of fine weapons to use, so what are you waiting for, buy now!” The five Yinghua introduces and promote the store.
All Yinghua bows elegantly and the original Yinghua dispersed the illusions, then give a charming smile back to the crowd.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
A shout and cheer from the crowd emerged, they truly enjoy the dance shown and now the weapon buyers blood are boiling when they see and found out that the weapon that Valrog’s selling is a high quality and top notch, they become rampaging, Yinghua controls the crowd by talking them nicely and guided them to the right queue, who dares to talk back and disobey this goddess beauty in front of them, surely that person has no balls to show after all.
“Ok sirs, please be in order inside queue here”
“Welcome to Razor’s weaponry shop, yes ma’am and sir can I help you?”
“We have so many powerful items in higher price but worth of durability and efficiency, no fraud product and all of it are original”
“To ensure that is not a fraud, we have a special seal mark in the product for each individual buyers, these marks will imprint to the buyer, once he died the product will be destroyed and erase, so you can sure if it’s being stole from your corpse for spoils, they can only get is a pile of metal scraps and dust”
“If you are not familiar with the weapon, you can ask me about the uses of it and it’s guideline, maybe I can give you few pointers for it”
“Item is recyclable, if you are tired of using it, you can sell it to us and paid you according to its functioning and durability rate”
“Welcome new buyers, please fall in line and patiently wait for your turn”
Sooner the store become busy, Valrog gives the pricing and weapon marking, while Yinghua teaches the weapon uses and giving few pointers in wielding them, so much buyer and mostly not a poor status, some of them are mercenaries, others are noble blood, some are mages and knights and etc. But because of good coordination of the two, they can sell fast and without sweating and distraction in facing prior problem in encountering tricky customers, regardless they never let their guard down, Yinghua’s perception is still strong security measures, she still maintain calmness and happy go lucky expression in dealing the customers without flaw.
Few hours, the items they sell are emptied but exchanged to a pile of sack of gold coins, laying at the side, surely it’s not just quantity about the sell they give but prior to quality that matches the customers type and making sure they are decent merchants at all for a face, often this is a huge pile of revenue they get, it is just coming from lowest rating weapon type, ranked based on Yinhua’s supreme scaling, even she can make a numerous weapon that can erase a whole country in one sweep, if she found a good materials.
Yinghua gets the half pile of the sack of coins using her brace, she explained that the profit will be fifty percent for her payment, as she said that she and Jake are agreed in the conditions and show to Valrog the permit and sign of Jake according to negotiation, which Valrog accepts as long as it is knew by his master, but for Yinghua, this is a lie, she and Jake are one persona but different bodies, as for the permit, she handedly make it and sign using her own past signature in first life.
“So easy, well used the brace and erased the things up, who knows those thugs are hiding and waiting for us to go outside and making an ambush and interrogation” Yinghua said as she sense so many killing intent presence in her radar.
“As you wish, right away!” Valrog’s response and start to vacuum all the sack of coins and their tent in the brace he holds.
“Go to the south gate and rent a horse, change your clothes to a covering clothing in order not to be detected their security, I will attract them and distract them for a moment to buy time for us” Yinghua said as she packed her things and start to go out in west direction.
Valrog walks in the back alley of the market in order to escape and to lower the risk of detection, then he go to a clothing shop nearer and buy a jacket with hood and go to the renting stables in the south in order to escape these mysterious pursuers.
At the other side, Yinghua bought a carriage and horses, then she rides at the front to become a coachwoman who manage her two bought horses for the carriage and so into she passed into a bar and hired a mercenaries to guard her, she will pay a huge amount of reward if she succeed travel safely to the Lightenguard Castle, then the separation escapes begun, as she expected, all the pursuers she sense in her perception are tracking her, she then chuckles and thinking about how desperate the pursuers is, if they want trouble, bring it on!
“Barkan, Jmir, Jmabe and Rioux, we have a company, if you manage to subdue the leader or kill it, bonus reward will you get, if you kill the rest without letting anyone escape another additional bonus you will get!” Yinhua said and signals his companion mercenaries inside the carriage.
“Ok boss! You’ve got it!” Jmir said as he licked his daggers sadistically, this punk has a red haired Mohawk styled, and some incomplete armor set, he has many daggers in the hips.
“Hur, hur, hur! Truly impressive ma’am sakura, just to perceive them a few meters was a good feat of power!” Barkan comment in amazement, as he wears his helmet that cover his bald head, he then prepare his battle axe with a scary and rusty edges and hilt, as he shown his topless bulky and massive body while there is scars can be seen.
“Jmir, I will assist you but please be careful!” Jmabe said in concern as she prepared her bow and arrow, she is a twin sister of the punk Jmir, with a red long hair paired with left trimmed bangs, with a scar in her right eye, she has a hot and sexy body that giving her own blazing charm, she also the manager of their group that managing their lifetime expenses and budgeting the earnings.
“Alright, let show to these lousy rats what are the Furyblaze group made of!” Rioux said proudly as finish trimming his blue hair and then he prepare his staff and scrolls, he is only the mage in their group, although he is at level 5, mage rank, doesn’t mean he is weak, he prepared his long cape and his glasses, he is their leader and an ex-mage from the southern mage school far away from Lightenguard kingdom’s location.
Yinghua stops her carriage as the four emerged outside of the carriage all of them are prepared, Rioux prepared an enhancement spells to all, them he prepared to chant a trapping spells on the fields surrounds them, the remaining three prepare their own buffs and position in their fighting stance.
Yinghua summons her Naginata ornamented in gemstone and with forminable art decorations at the sides of the hilt blade, she also boost her own stats by the “Intent Chant of The Four Divine Beast Ruler” and start to chant the “Bridge of The Roaring Tiger”, giving her a power and speed and emanating a chilling aura around her.
Sooner a group of horsemen of thugs appear with their weapons and arrogant expressions, as well as their leader with a heavy set of armor and a huge sword strapped at his back, he wears an intimidating appearance as he cockily grin for his victim today.
As they stepping coming closer to the group, the leader yelled at them with scornful but sluggish tone.
“Ye’r people outa there! Surrender ye weapanz! And giv’all ye treshurz! And wellet ye free!”
Yinhua step forward and maintain a distance to the leader.
“BAKA!! Over my dead body ya Kuso!” Yinghua shouts and turned her back and bend herself and slap her butt softly at them as a taunting reply.
The Furyblaze can’t help but to laugh at Yinhua’s antics, although some words are strange and new to them, they felt that word is unpleasant.
“YE BETCH! Ye Sluch, Wans I’ve got Ye’r ass, I will F**ck ye so ard tat my d*ck werrent yah leh free and pamp me seeds to ye holez!” The short tempered leader of the Horse Thugs angrily sluggish yelled and ordered his men to go all-out attack at the group.
“Come and get some Kuso YARO!!” A replied coming from Yinghua as she made a taunting face while showing and lowering her tongue and wiggles it, and then signals Rioux to activate the trap, Rioux made a chant spells and wait for the Horse Thugs to step in the field of traps.
Sooner the Horse Thugs entered the trap field and Rioux immediately activated the trap, sudden explosion emerged from the ground, blowing up in the air the Horse Thugs members, Yinghua dashes straight to the leader and pierce him with her Naginata but being blocked immediately by the Thug Leader’s Broad sword, Suddenly a smile arise from the face of Yinhua that intimidates the Thug Leader, with a wide swing, she drew an arc and beheaded the poor horse of the Thug Leader, which cause him to fall after it the headless horse become lifeless.
“Doncha Undereztimate me, coz I’ll make ye pay fo dat!” Thug Leader growls as he take a stand and face the War Goddess Appearance of Yinghua he then start to slash and hack Yinghua but futile because of her speed and reflexes, they exchanging blows and attacks but the Thug Leader was on the losing side in their clash, beside them the members of Furyblaze group combating and slaughtering the Horse Thugs.
“Ok, but I acknowledge your pride, so let’s begin the real thing!” Yinghua disperse her Naginata and summons her gauntlet and greaves glimmering in blackmetal, then she dash and made a powerful kick which the Thug Leader blocked it but feel the powerful foce coming from the impact of the kick which causing some of his ribs cracked and let him spit an amount of blood, but Yinhua is not finish yet, she makes a barrage of punches with a gatling power and speed.
“Useless! Useless! Useless! Orrriiiiaaahhhh!” She shouts and make an unstoppable gatling blows as the crack forming in the sword of Thug Leader that using to block her barrage, Yinghua swiftly charge a powerful energy from her hands and execute an uppercut that envelopes in red blaze in her gauntlet, breaking the sword into pieces and fling the Thug Leader in the air, as Yinghua descend down, the Thug Leader falls unconsciously but alive, then Yinhua change her gauntlet and greaves to a Katana and mercilessly slash all the remaining members of Horse Thugs, as many parts of slash body are flying around and blood spurting like a fountain, Yinghua is somewhat frenzied and don’t care if she is bathing in blood.
“There is no escape from us, now pray for your gods!” Yinghua walks with a monstrous aura around her as she faces the scampering and panicking foes as the Furyblaze group chasing them.
It was a total overkill and massacre, piles of sliced, pierced, cutted, broken and burned bodies left in the grounds, as the Furyblaze starting to loot the spoils of the Horse Thugs, Yinghua then come closer to the group, and throw a huge sack of coins, a little part of revenue she got from the sales of weaponry, which the group gladly accepts and give a huge thanks to her.
“Well looks like we need to separate the ways again, you four, take the horse and the carriage, and take that bastard to prison, accept that as my departing gift, I will just walk from here, thanks for all of your hardwork!” Yinhua said as she takes a deep breath.
“Ok boss, once you need our help, just go the bar at the same area we’ve meet, hire us again if you like!” Jmir said as he gave a thumbs up to Yinghua.
“Forever this gratitude we will never forget from a beautiful and responsible lady like you!” Barkan said as he take of his helmet and place his axe on his back again.
“You can count on us, we are open for you the business of ours!” Rioux said as he then sweep his hair.
“Then, I will give a call for your group; see then, Ganbatte! Sayonara!” Yinghua wave and start to dash forward to the castle as her silhouette gone in their eyes.
The Furyblaze group just smiled and walk on the different directions, although those words are strange, they think it’s a sign of good bye and luck, the fields are quiet once again while bathing in corpse and blood.
