Chapter 30 - Chapter 029 - Bop's Sword

"Look Meiyu, if you cross your legs like this and stop breathing for ten seconds you'd float like those Buddhist Monks they show on TV!" Beep happily incited Meiyu to follow in Buddha's footsteps along with her to achieve enlightenment.

"Buddhists?" Bop asked as he continued to tinker around with his $y$tem, though to the people around him, he just looked like he'd finally gone crazy.

"Yes, they have become a real fashion trend these days on the net. A lot of young girls have been shaving their heads to be 'in' with the trends... The trend started after some idol copied ancient people in the past... I think it's pretty interesting.

Did you know this Buddhism thing was done by men back in those days, and they fought who among them had the balder head, the balder your head the stronger you are in their society apparently... Funny how trends exchanged gender over time, no? Though I wonder if I should copy the style... W-What do you think, Bop? D-Do you think I'd look cute if I Buddhafy myself?" Meiyu twiddled her fingers as she asked Bop.

"Hmm... no" Bop immediately answered as he imagined a bald Meiyu swinging her sword at everyone.

After confirming the functions Bop's $y$tem had and showing Meiyu around Thesarius, Meiyu left to go back to her grandfather's Noodle (Gun) shop...

The next day, Bop went over to Wang Chung's Noodle shop to check up on Meiyu along with Beep and Policeman Bob since he had nothing to do for Marcus that morning, and also since Marcus didn't come home yet from some meeting since last night...

"Bop! Nothing to do I see?" Meiyu happily greeted Bop.

"Yeah, I thought I'd drop by to get myself a cool weapon fitting a person such as I, Hohoho" Bop laughed out loud.

"W-Weapons?! N-No weapon here! Only PLAIN and TRADITIONAL noodles!" Meiyu robotically recited her grandfather's excuse he hardwired in her brain.

[[[How suspicious could you get?!]]] Everyone inside the famous "noodle" shop thought to themselves.

{Just in, News reports of Orochi gang activity has been reported on South ELM-08 Street where a Statesperson from the Marcondre Faction has been brutally targetted and killed}

(Marcondre = Marcus + Bondre)

"Uwahh, isn't that one of Marcus' men? What a dangerous place we live in, tsk tsk tsk" Bop sighed as he saw what was on the news.

"What type of we- Noodles would you like, Bop?" Meiyu tried to cutely smile in front of Bop.

"I wanted to ask old Chung for a gun that would probably suit me? Where is the loud geezer?" Bop asked.

"Hmm, about that... Grandpa has not come home yet since last night... Do you remember yesterday afternoon when Mussolini went out? Apparently, Grandpa went with him. But they still haven't returned..."

"I see... well how about a sword instead? Aren't you a master of swords?" Bop confidently smiled at Meiyu, making her blush from his compliments...

{Breaking News! The Abyssum-Cetacelor has SWALLOWED the Octagrad! I repeat! The Abyssum-Cetacelor has SWALLOWED the Octagrad! Not a lot of information is known of the disaster as all connection has been lost with the Octagrad Region, but our News Casters are heading there right now} A miniaturized version of a titanically huge whale was shown on TV.

"Damn, and here I thought the Great Whale was docile!" Meiyu gasped...

"LOL! Whale!" Bop for some unknown reason laughed like an idiot as he saw the Whale... Apparently, whales look particularly funny to Bop.

Bop went down with Meiyu to another basement different from where the Guns were held.

There Meiyu opened an enormous ancient Chinese-designed chest, and inside were a hundred or more swords whose designs loosely resembled traditional Chinese swords.

Meiyu threw all the swords on the floor, but not recklessly as all swords gracefully fell neatly ordered on the floor as Meiyu smiled at Bop, saying: "Take your pick"

Though there were many strange and varied assortments of Dao (Single-Edged) and Jian (Double-Edged) swords there, what caught Bop's attention was a silver modernized Jian type sword, with its engravings designed with circuit-like patterns instead of the traditional spirals and curves Jian swords were normally designed with...

{> Name: A Cool Looking Sword!

> Description: A sword you think looks weird, but is still cool}

Bop inspected the sword with his System, though it wasn't of much help to him as it only displayed what he already knew of the item.

"I like this one, its cool silver and black designs plus the circuit engravings! Hmm, yes yes. I've decided. This is a quality sword!" Bop praised the sword as if he was some kind of sword connoisseur...

Meiyu watched Bop's smug look as if telling her "I'm right, right? It's a good sword, right? Praise me!" as she shouted, "That's the worst sword of the bunch!"

"Don't pick a sword based on its design!" Meiyu lightly hit Bop's head with her sword.

"W-What?! Surely this cool and legendary looking sword must at least be usable?!" Bop shouted.

"W-Well... I guess it can dismantle and assemble itself like this..." Meiyu pressed a button somewhere on the sword as it dismantled in front of Bop and assembled once more.

"C-COOL!" Bop's eyes shined when he saw the sword, shouting: "I found it! My soulmate" as he kissed and caressed the sword.

"Pick a sword that's practical, IDIOT!" Meiyu begrudgingly hissed, jealous of the inanimate sword who was currently receiving Bop's affection.

"Meh, it's probably alright! I'm only buying this sword to look cool anyway, Gahahaha!" Bop shamelessly laughed in front of the sword maniac, Meiyu... much to her vexation.

"That would be 3000 Higs..." Meiyu grumbled, still pissed at Bop's attitude.

"Keok! Th-Three thousand?! Are there no friend-discounts? Hehe" Bop twiddled his fingers.

"Ok, let me recount the price again... Bop's dense stupidity, 50 Higs. Picking a sword to showoff, 100 Higs. Annoying me, 50 Higs. And finally, the Jian itself costs 300 Higs. There, an 83.333% discount dear customer!" Meiyu angrily humphed.

"A-Are you... angry perhaps?" Bop asked, speechless from Meiyu's anger.
