"pistol……?"
Qingdeng's eyes were straight, staring blankly at the two black guns in the brocade box.
"Jijun, be careful, your eyeballs are about to fall out."
Boss Kiryu’s joke brought back Qingto’s consciousness.
"Boss Kiryu, these two pistols are...?"
Facing Qingden's fiery gaze, Kiryu's boss Yun Danfeng smiled softly:
"Tachibana-kun, didn't you tell me before that you wanted a revolver? I told you that I would help you arrange it - now, I have fulfilled my promise."
Surprise, touch...and flatterment all appeared on Qingdeng's face one by one.
He did say such things, but it was a long time ago!
At this time, Qingto, who had always longed for a pistol, made a request to buy a gun from Kiryu's boss, who must have a wide network of contacts.
At that time, Boss Kiryu smiled and nodded, and said "Okay, I will arrange it"... nothing happened after that.
He thought that the old man had forgotten this matter, so it was inconvenient to mention it more.
Unexpectedly, the old man did not forget it, and actually helped him get it done!
Just when Aoden was in a state of intense surprise and emotion, and couldn't extricate himself, Boss Kiryu said slowly in a long tone like "grandpa telling a bedtime story":
"Both of these pistols were made by an old friend of mine who is proficient in firearms."
"My old friend, I can't say anything else, is only good at making firearms and cooking Japanese confectionery."
"When you told me that you wanted a high-quality pistol, I immediately placed an order with her... and ordered one for the young master as well."
"I thought: Young Master should use it in the future."
“Looking at it now, I was indeed right to prepare for a rainy day.”
"These two pistols are far superior to ordinary pistols in terms of accuracy, sturdiness, and loading speed."
"General pistols need to first use a measuring cylinder to pour a certain amount of black powder into the magazine, then insert the projectile from the front of the wheel and seal it with a gasket, and use the front depressing rod to tamp the bullet. Then load the second
The first shot, the third shot... In addition, a flash cap must be installed, one for each cartridge."
"Such a design is destined to make it absolutely impossible to complete reloading within a short period of time after firing the bullets in the chamber."
"If it's used for assassination and self-defense, then that's fine."
"But if it is a large-scale battle between two armies, this kind of firearm that cannot fight for a long time will be very impractical."
"The two pistols designed by my old friend can load bullets directly into the chamber, eliminating the need for a series of tedious steps such as plugging gunpowder and compacting bullets."
As he said that, Boss Kiryu casually picked up a gun in the brocade box, pointed the muzzle at the uninhabited void beside him, flicked his wrist, and flicked the gun in his palm to the left - with a click - a lotus root-shaped gun
The wheel pops up.
"Like this, throw out the gun wheel, and then load the bullets into the chamber one by one. If you are skillful, you can complete the reloading of bullets in just a few seconds."
"By the way, more than 70 years ago, this old friend of mine was able to make a revolver that could load bullets directly into the wheel."
Hearing this, Qingdeng couldn't hide his shock and smacked his lips.
70 years ago... It was already the end of the last century!
Being able to make a fixed-loading revolver so long ago... Such a skill definitely deserves the title of "Gun Genius"!
Since he was a person who lived 70 years ago, then this "gun genius" should also be a super old man who is nearly a hundred years old like Boss Kiryu... Qingto thought to himself.
Kiryu’s narration continues:
"It is precisely because these two pistols combine extremely high technical capabilities that it took a lot of effort to create them smoothly."
"In addition to these two guns, my old friend has also prepared 300 rounds of ammunition for you, which is enough for you to splurge on."
"Now pick it up and take a look and try it out."
After finishing speaking, Boss Kiryu dropped the gun in his hand and pointed the gun handle at Aomori.
Qingdeng took the gun from his hand respectfully.
At the same time, Kinoshita Mai also picked up another gun in the brocade box.
The cold, heavy feeling spread continuously to Qingdeng's palm.
The smooth line design is reminiscent of the metallic luster of black stones, and the gun body reflects Qingden's face... No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a very beautiful pistol.
Qingdeng couldn't put it down and played with it over and over again.
Judging from the excited expression on Mai Kinoshita's face and her unwillingness to let go, she also liked this pistol very much.
At this time, Qingden noticed the platycodon flower carved on the bottom of the gun handle.
"Boss Kiryu, what is this platycodon flower?"
"This is my old friend's family crest... to be more precise, it's her husband's family crest."
Qingden was shocked.
"Boss Kiryu, is your old friend a woman?"
Boss Kiryu smiled:
"Ju-kun, did I ever say that my old friend is not a woman?"
Qingden blinked, his heart filled with admiration.
In this era where science education is lacking and men are superior to women, a woman is not only proficient in firearms knowledge, but also makes such a powerful pistol... This is really awe-inspiring.
Seeing that the two of them were almost done playing, Boss Kiryu suggested:
"From now on, these two guns belong to you. Give them a resounding name."
Naming it... that's right, after all, it is a personal weapon that will be used for a long time in the future. It should be given a nice and catchy name. Qingdeng nodded lightly, and then began to think about it intently.
On the side, Mai Kinoshita closed her beautiful eyes tightly, humming softly "Mmmmmmm" while thinking deeply.
After a moment, she opened her eyes suddenly and shouted:
"Ah, I thought of it!"
Boss Qingto and Kiryu both turned to look at her.
"Since this pistol is completely black, let's call it...'Nine Heavens of Darkness'!"
Qingdeng: "..."
Kiryu: "..."
quiet……
An audible silence enveloped the inside and outside of the store.
After a moment, Kinoshita Mai’s joyful voice broke the silence:
"Aoden! Mr. Kiryu! What do you think of this name?"
"...Young Master, let me take the liberty of asking, what is the 'Nine Heavens Dark Demon'? Is it the demon in ancient mythology?"
Kinoshita Mai shook her head.
"No, this name just came to my mind. Because I thought that combining the words 'Nine Heavens', 'Darkness', and 'Great Strange Demon' would be very majestic, so I put them together.
The effect is pretty good! It’s really impressive!”
Kinoshita Mai's eyes sparkled...it seemed like she really thought this name was cool.
Ah Wu's naming skills are unexpectedly bad... Qingdeng thought to himself while suppressing the corners of his mouth that almost twitched.
"...Young Master, since you like this name very much, then adopt it."
Boss Kiryu said this in a robotic tone.
Don't pet her in strange places! - Qingdeng made a silent complaint with his eyes to the old man beside him.
With the support of Kiryu's boss, the joy in Kinoshita's cheeks became even brighter.
She turned her pretty face and looked at Qingdeng who had not yet expressed his stance.
Qingdeng: "..."
To be continued...
