Chapter 28: The willing Sifang Chuancai

Ikoma looked at the Yamato Nadeshiko-like Yohogawa Ayame, and his hatred for the nobles was instantly forgotten.

Her long, smooth, dark hair was tied into a single ponytail with a simple ribbon. Her profile, while she was talking, perfectly displayed her delicate features.

Her delicate face, fair and translucent skin, and gentle yet determined eyes make people feel at ease and reveal a unique charm that is not ostentatious.

Beneath the traditional and expensive kimono lies a body full of allure, and every move she makes is filled with a unique calmness.

When speaking to others, his voice is soft and his tone is soothing. His care and consideration for others are evident in his conversation, giving people a calm and confident impression.

[She must be a princess among the nobility. So beautiful and charming, she must be different from those vulgar nobles.]

Ikoma pricked up his ears, trying to catch the words in the conversation between the supervisor and Shikagawa Ayame, looking for an opportunity to get close to her.

When he heard that Shifangchuan Changpu's father's pistol was broken and needed someone to repair it.

Ikoma was secretly proud.

[Who else besides me knows the most about the steam guns used by those foolish samurai?]

I saw the supervisor yelling to the workers, "Someone who knows the structure of a hand cannon, come and take a look."

Ikoma, feeling secretly delighted, did not walk out of the crowd, but instead took a step back, playing hard to get.

[No one here knows more about the structure of a pistol than I do. The supervisor will definitely ask me to fix it.]

He held his head with his back to the crowd, pretended to take two steps, and waited for the supervisor to call him. The scene of being in the limelight in front of everyone had already emerged in his mind.

However, the words uttered by the noble whom he hated so much made Ikoma lose his composure and he had to stop his clumsy and funny clowning performance.

"Is General Shifangchuanjian's pistol broken? I just recently mastered the structure of a steam gun. If you don't mind me getting in the way, you can let me take a look."

Ikoma suddenly turned his head and stared at Fang Yi, his hatred soaring to a higher level. At this moment, he suddenly felt as if an opportunity that should have belonged to him had slipped away.

"This despicable noble is trying to steal my opportunity for something like this. Is he trying to show off? He's only just mastered assembling a steam gun for a few days, and he's already trying to repair a hand cannon?"

The supervisor on the side tactfully persuaded him, "Master Fang Renyi, it's not that I doubt you can repair this hand cannon, but it's better to leave this kind of work to the steam smelters. You should focus on your steam cannon design."

At the same time, he turned his head and prepared to call Ikoma to handle the matter. In his mind, Ikoma had the best skills here.

Ikoma's good friend Chengsheng whispered in his ear.

"Lady Acorus is indeed a beauty. She seems to be a gentle and confident person just like Lady Fang Renyi."

After saying that, he poked Ikoma and added.

"You're the most skilled steam smelter here. Why don't you go up and help Master Pu Chang solve his problems? Maybe he'll reward you with something."

When Ikoma heard the first half of the sentence praising Shifangchuan Ayame, he nodded repeatedly, but when he heard the second half praising Fang Yi, his face darkened again.

Fortunately, Chengsheng's next words made him feel a little better.

[Whatever, he can't fix it anyway, so I'll have to take action later.]

He folded his arms across his chest, ready to watch the show.

When Shifangchuan Ayame heard the words of the supervisor and the words of the long-awaited young man, she finally saw the person she had always wanted to see.

Her motivation to meet Fang Yi originated from a conversation with her father.

"Fang Renyi is a very important talent in my opinion. His conversation is full of wisdom and connotation, and when asked about his political views, he can clearly and logically express his views."

"He has outstanding looks, amazing talent, and is also good at martial arts. He is an indispensable person in my future plans."

After hearing his father's comments, Sifangchuan Changpu became curious about such a young talent.

In his spare time, he wanted to visit and see the "talent of the king's assistant" mentioned by his father. However, he returned home disappointed many times. If it weren't for Fang Yi, he would take the initiative to work overtime in the factory to study the structure and principle of the steam gun.

It was Disma, who was like a door god, who told her that Fang Yi had not returned yet.

The elusive Fang Yi actually aroused Sifangchuan Puchang's competitive spirit.

Today, when she heard her father mention that his pistol had malfunctioned, she took the initiative to accept the task, wanting to take the opportunity to enter the steam smelter's workplace and "arrest" Fang Yi.

Looking at Fang Yi who was walking towards him, Sifangchuan Changpu exchanged glances with him and wanted to lower his head, but the etiquette that had become a habit in his body prevented him from doing so. It was too rude.

But he was indeed very attractive, and the rustic work clothes could not hide his charm, his upright posture and beautiful body, not to mention his charming face.

There is also a low and gentle voice, and the tone is just right, giving people a lazy and unhurried feeling.

Sifangchuan Acorus only felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, his body began to heat up, and he couldn't help but tighten his body.

She handed over the pistol, and from time to time lowered her head to look at her toes which her eyes could not see, afraid that Fang Yi would notice her slightly red cheeks.
-
After Fang Yi returned home late one day, he learned from Disma that Sifangchuan Changpu was looking for him, so he decided to change his strategy of taking the initiative.

When increasing women's friendliness, creating your own attractiveness and raising expectations are indispensable.

Just like Liu Bei's three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage to invite him out and entrust him with an important task, the harder something is to obtain, the more it can inspire the other party's competitive spirit and make them cherish it more.

So he specifically instructed Disma to reject Sifang Chuanchangpu many times, to arouse the woman's curiosity and play a standard game of hard to get.

Finally today, the "fish" took the bait.

As for repairing the pistol, this was just an excuse for this woman.

While chatting with Sifang Chuan Changpu, Fang Yi disassembled the pistol and found that it was a simple but tedious fault. He didn't want to waste the energy to repair it.

Sifangchuan Changpu came to see him, and he didn't care whether the hand cannon was repaired well or not.

If you really believed it and went to repair your hand gun, it would be like believing that "my cat can do backflips" and actually going to see the cat.

Fang Yi turned his head and looked at Ikoma with red eyes in the crowd. He smiled and told Shifangchuan Ayame that he couldn't fix it, but someone could.

He walked up to Ikoma, handed him the pistol, looked at him and spoke loudly.

"I'm not capable of repairing it, but Ikoma, the most skilled steam smelter, will definitely be able to do it. He's taught me a lot."

After handing over the pistol, he extended an invitation to Shifangchuan Ayame, who already had a good friendship level.

"Lord Ayame, it's very noisy here, and the air is polluted. It will take some time for Ikoma to repair his pistol. Why don't you take me out for a walk?"

After Shifangchuan Acorus said in a soft voice, "It feels a little hot here."

Amidst the supervisor's earnest gaze and the background sound of Ikoma banging hard on parts to vent his dissatisfaction.

Fang Yi told a few appropriate and funny jokes, which successfully alleviated Sifang Chuanchangpu's shyness and embarrassment and made her smile slightly.

While facing Ikoma's murderous gaze, he successfully escaped with the young lady.

After a while, Fang Yi heard the notification sound that the friendship level of [Sifangchuan Acorus] had been raised to [67/100]. While dealing with Sifangchuan Acorus, he was thinking about how to end it.

[After my own development and indirect inquiries, the jet bomb is now just one step away from completion. Once the formula ratio is verified, it will be completed.]

[It's time to end my boring factory life. I used the excuse that I had made the gun I wanted to treat the workers who helped me to a meal.]

[Also, please ask and verify the final formula ratio from Ikoma's friend Chengsheng.]

Fang Yi has already thought of a plan.
