The two arrived at Kashi's room door, and Tanaka Masao knocked.
"Hey, Kashi, are you awake? I'm coming in."
Soon, Kashi's response came from inside.
"Come in, the door's not locked. I'm busy right now, no time."
After getting a response, Tanaka Masao opened the door and walked in.
Compared to before, Kashi's room had a lot more decorations.
She even took a few figurines from Tanaka Masao's room to use as decorations.
She said it would make her feel like she was being revered in the Demon Realm again.
Besides that, there were also some clothes and basic daily necessities that Tanaka bought for her.
At this moment, Kashi was sitting at her desk, with her back to the two, diligently tinkering with something.
Tanaka Masao walked over.
He saw Kashi holding a bunch of miscellaneous items like disposable chopsticks, tape, glue, and rubber bands, tinkering with something he didn't recognize.
"What are you doing? Making a craft project assigned by your teacher?"
"What craft project?"
Kashi glanced at Tanaka Masao and said, quite indignantly.
"I am making a weapon, a weapon, understand? Its power is immense; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it could destroy the world.
When it's done, I'm going to find that hateful crow and teach it a lesson.
Alright, don't bother me if you have nothing important to say."
Honestly, he has no foresight at all; can't he see her great endeavor?
Looking at the so-called 'weapon' assembled from a few disposable chopsticks and some cardboard, connected only by tape and glue, it was as rudimentary as could be.
Tanaka Masao couldn't help but laugh.
"You... you call this a weapon? Hahaha, if this can be called a weapon, then couldn't someone rule the world with a kitchen knife?"
Even Yukinoshita Yukino, usually calm and composed, couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth and secretly smiling.
"Hmph, you dare to look down on the weapon I made? Do you dare to test its power?"
Tanaka Masao was quite confident and patted his stomach.
"Why not? Come on, hit me here as hard as you want."
"Heh, underestimating me will cost you."
Kashi didn't hold back, picked up her self-made weapon, and aimed it at Tanaka Masao's stomach.
"Take this!"
Along with Kashi's roar and shout, a sharpened disposable chopstick shot towards Tanaka Masao.
The chopstick hit Tanaka Masao's stomach and then fell to the ground.
Tanaka Masao rubbed his stomach.
"It felt like a mosquito bite, a little itchy."
Kashi picked up the chopstick that had fallen to the ground, a bit confused.
"How can its power be so small? While it shouldn't pierce Masao's stomach, it should at least make him fall to the ground in agony."
Thinking this, she aimed the weapon she made at her own arm, intending to test its power.
"Never mind, if it can't even hurt Masao, then it certainly can't hurt me. I still need to improve it."
"Alright, stop wasting time on your broken weapon; it's study time."
Tanaka Masao stopped Kashi, who wanted to go back and continue researching her 'weapon', and urged her to go study.
Kashi, of course, wouldn't obediently go to study and refused.
"I won't. I must make a good weapon today to get revenge on that crow."
Tanaka Masao turned his gaze to Yukinoshita Yukino, asking for her opinion.
Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment and said.
"Kashi learns very quickly, and she has almost learned all the knowledge needed for the exam. She should get a good score without any problems.
Moreover, current education also emphasizes practical skills, so spending some time making crafts...
Cough cough, making weapons, isn't a bad thing either."
"Yukino is the best."
With Yukinoshita Yukino's support, Kashi cheered, making a face at Tanaka Masao to celebrate her victory.
Tanaka Masao didn't say much about it.
...
Half an hour later, in the living room.
"Hey, Masao, you're using too many materials."
"I can't help it, my weapon is more powerful."
"Hmph, you arrogant guy, my weapon is definitely more powerful."
"Then do you dare to compete with me later?"
"Hmph, who's afraid of whom? How could your weapon, made by merely imitating others, possibly compare to my original weapon?"
After agreeing to let Kashi make weapons, Tanaka Masao also couldn't resist the urge to get hands-on and joined in.
Yukinoshita Yukino's initial goal for tutoring Tanaka Masao was for him to pass his exams, and Tanaka Masao had already met that requirement.
So Yukinoshita Yukino didn't stop him; a little relaxation is good.
The weapon Tanaka Masao was making was based on a video tutorial he found online, using paper, rubber bands, wooden sticks, and other materials to make a gun.
The video content was very rich: pistols, rifles, sawed-off shotguns...
Tanaka Masao chose a pistol that was relatively simple to make.
The 'simple' part was only relative; although the video showed each step in great detail, it was still somewhat difficult to execute.
First, he had to prefabricate various parts and then assemble them.
Fortunately, Tanaka Masao had a helper.
Yukinoshita Yukino saw the video and developed a slight interest, helping Tanaka Masao make it together.
With Yukinoshita Yukino as a skillful helper, the manufacturing speed of Tanaka Masao's weapon was greatly accelerated.
"This should go like this, why doesn't it fit? Force it..."
Tanaka Masao was assembling, intending to employ the traditional 'miracle through brute force' approach.
Yukinoshita Yukino quickly stopped him.
"Wait, your method is wrong. This part should go like this..."
Yukinoshita Yukino took the part from Tanaka Masao's hand and easily assembled it.
"Oh, I see. What's the next step?"
The two simultaneously leaned over the phone, carefully and repeatedly observing the steps.
"It should be like this, Xuezhixia Classmate, help me press it."
"Okay, be careful not to break it."
When making handicrafts, it's easy to get immersed and oblivious to everything else.
The focused Tanaka Masao and Yukinoshita Yukino didn't notice how close they were at the moment.
When working together to assemble parts, they also didn't mind the occasional physical contact.
