After taking Kikuchiyo and lingering in the kendo hall for a while, Fujino returned home.
He went upstairs to his room, took out Kikuchiyo, and examined it closely.
Kikuchiyo's overall color scheme was red. The handle wrapping, the ray skin beneath it, and the scabbard were all red, while the tsuba, seppa, kojiri, the base of the handle, and the menuki were accented in gold.
Fujino could not make out the patterns carved into the tsuba, but they looked like chrysanthemums. Similar chrysanthemums also decorated the menuki and the base of the handle.
"A sword primarily decorated with chrysanthemums... no wonder it's called Kikuchiyo."
Fujino drew Kikuchiyo halfway from its scabbard. A straight hamon ran down the blade to its tip, and sunlight reflected off the mirror-like steel, showing his face.
After taking a look, he sheathed the sword.
For the moment, Fujino could not tell what kind of sword it was. He only felt that Kikuchiyo was rather plain.
As for the steel, he could not really tell. It was probably tamahagane or something similar.
What normal person could identify metal with the naked eye?
"Ding, special item detected!"
"'Kikuchiyo' can now be stored as a system item and enhanced!"
The system's voice suddenly sounded by his ear.
"A special item... stored in the system?"
Fujino froze for a moment, then opened the system interface.
Special item Kikuchiyo detected. Would the host like to store Kikuchiyo? Yes | No Storage cost: 5 million yen
"Just storing it costs five million yen?"
Fujino frowned slightly at the option on the system interface.
The system's enhancement feature could only enhance items drawn from within the system.
Fusion, on the other hand, was not picky. As long as their compatibility was suitable, system-produced items and non-system items could be fused.
