I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 113 Four-Tailed Fox: Epic, a Soul Seal That Makes People Call It Loyalty (8.1k, monthly ticket requested!)
"Any text on Yin-Yang magic or breathing techniques that is not taboo can be freely read...historical volumes should also be included."

Uesugi Tetsu asked Nakajima Onmyoji, whose attitude had completely changed.

Nakajima nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "In theory, that's right."

The reason why he said "theoretically" is because there is Nanjo Aimi in Arakawa District. If it were placed in other administrative districts, then these three words could be completely cancelled.

Ever since the five-member meeting decided to designate Arakawa District as a pilot area and gave Nanjo Aimi unprecedented power, she can almost be said to have the final say in Arakawa District.

It was precisely because of this that within just one week, Arakawa District restored order with extremely exaggerated efficiency.

It can even be said that post-disaster reconstruction was almost completed on the third day, and the remaining days were just finishing work.

Cleanse the demons, soothe people's hearts, carry out comprehensive search and rescue, rebuild the ruins, and resettle the victims...

Each task is not simple and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

If it were before the wave, the Arakawa District Government would not know how long it would take to discuss and haggle before making a decision, and how long it would take for the decision to be truthfully conveyed to the grassroots.

Not to mention a week, even with help from other districts, order in Arakawa District may not be restored within a month.

But Nanjo Ai completed everything in a vigorous and efficient manner within a week, and officially put the Arakawa District back on track on the seventh day, submitting an almost perfect efficiency report to the Five-Man Association.

Therefore, the original Yin-Yang master Kondo Tomoya was safely transferred to a more frontline location by the Five-member Association - according to his request.

However, although the Arakawa District seems to have settled down, there are definitely demons or strange stories lurking in the dark, and their number is definitely not too small - at least more than before the wave came.

This is inevitable.

Therefore, in order to minimize the harm caused by demons as much as possible and prevent the situation in the past where the Nue of the Demon Guild could send out only two creatures to cause the death, dementia or memory loss of tens of thousands of people, the Special Affairs Office must promote the trend of everyone practicing cultivation.

In this way, not to mention fighting against demons, at least ordinary people can have the ability to warn and protect themselves.

"In theory."

Uesugi Tetsu pondered the word for a while, thinking back to what he had seen and heard after the wave, and he roughly understood what Nakajima meant by this roundabout way of speaking.

I didn’t expect that Sister Nanjo had such great prestige that the people below her didn’t even dare to mention her name directly.

He then asked, "What else?"

"I heard you can choose your own teacher?" Nakajima's tone was a little uncertain. "I'm not sure about the details, Uesugi-san. Perhaps you should ask Nanjou-sama yourself. After all, she recommended you."

Uesugi Tetsu didn't force it. He shook hands with Nakajima and said, "Thank you, Mr. Nakajima, for clearing up my doubts."

"No, no, I hope what I said can help Uesugi-san."

Nakajima smiled and said goodbye to Uesugi Tetsu and his three companions after exchanging contact information - the first Onmyoji class had not yet ended.

After watching Nakajima and his assistant leave, Uesugi Tetsu saw several staff members from the Special Affairs Office greeting them and then tidying up the classroom that had just been used to measure the speed of spiritual energy absorption.

Taking Ririko and the somewhat dazed Kitano Runa to a secluded place, Uesugi Tetsu took out his cell phone and called Nanjo Aimi.

Kitano Runa was shocked when she saw the contact's name.
"Eh? Is it really okay to just call that Nanjo-sama?"

If it were in the past, she would not have had any reaction. After all, when Kitano Runa was in the Special Affairs Department, she often saw Nanjo Aimi running to the door to smoke alone.

They even chatted a little.

But these days, both the news and TV pages are filled with Nanjo Aimi.

Those who are corrupt, those who occupy positions but do nothing, those who abuse their power for personal gain... if they are unwilling to give up everything they have gained before, then the ending will be just one word.

For those whose circumstances are more serious, there will not even be a chance.

Uesugi Tetsu was puzzled: "It's almost noon now, and the boss who asked her to work overtime is gone. Nanjo-san wouldn't still be sleeping at this time, right?"

That was not what I meant……

Kitano Runa laughed and said nothing more.

Soon, the call was connected.

But the voice that came was not Nanjo Aimi's, but another voice that the three of them were very familiar with:
"Hello, please tell me what you want to say."

Lilizi leaned closer to the phone and asked loudly, "Hello? Is that Manatsu?"

Shizuma Manatsu, who was sitting opposite, was visibly stunned by Ririkko, but she quickly reacted: "Riririkko, if you have anything to say, you can tell me. Nanjo Daizu is working, and I will help you pass it on later..."

Before Shizuma Manatsu could finish her words, she sighed in surprise and said, "Wait a moment, Nanjo Daizu is here to answer the phone."

The next moment, Nanjo Aimi's voice came from far away: "Ms. Tokugawa and Mr. Uesugi? I believe you must be here to ask about the potential assessment system."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled and said, "Nanjo-sister, you're truly as foresighted as I thought. I just found out I've become a so-called 'seed,' so I wanted to ask what kind of benefits I can get from this."

The sound of typing echoed for a while, and then Nanjo Aimi said, "Oh, so you've already talked to Nakajima. Then I'll just briefly explain it."

"First, Uesugi-kun, the Special Affairs Office will arrange a new residence for you. You should have experienced the effects of the spirit-gathering barrier, and your house will be equipped with a high-level spirit-gathering barrier and a calming barrier...

Of course, gyms and sufficiently spacious dojos will also be opened up.

In short, I will ask an onmyoji from the Astronomy Dao to transform your new house into a treasured place for spiritual practice while also making it airtight."

Nanjo Aimi: "This way you and Ms. Tokugawa will have enough space to practice after school."

Lilizi's eyes lit up, and she said in a strangled voice, "Thank you, Nanjo-san~"

new house.

That’s not bad… Sister Nanjo actually still remembers the fleeting glance she had when she exchanged glances with Ghost Dad.

Although Uesugi Tetsu had originally planned to use the extra money to buy a house, now that he has made arrangements, he has saved a lot of money.

What's more, there are astronomical Onmyojis who set up various enhancement barriers, and maybe I can learn a trick from them by then.

After the wave came, Uesugi Che went back to his hometown and found that the ghost father in his home had suddenly disappeared. He didn't know where he had gone to become a new father to cause trouble to others.

Although it’s a pity that I didn’t have time to settle accounts with Ghost Dad, it’s always a good thing that the disaster has disappeared.

But even so, Uesugi Tetsu no longer plans to return to his original hometown.

Not to mention that the space is not big and it is not convenient for one to practice, the occasional sporadic demons appearing on the balcony is also an unstable factor.

As time goes by, the distance between the ordinary world and the present world will only get closer and closer. If one day when I am exploring the ordinary world, a high-star monster suddenly appears on the balcony, it will be a disaster.

However, the "monster cage phenomenon" on the balcony has been reported to the Special Affairs Office. I hope they can solve it.

Nanjo Aishi: "You can also make other requests, and the Special Affairs Office will do its best to meet them. We also need you to work together to improve these regulations."

Uesugi Che responded, thinking that it was a good thing that he was not working for the Special Affairs Office, but the Special Affairs Office was working for him, otherwise his time would be wasted on accepting commissions and obtaining so-called contributions.

That would be totally not worth it.

"Of course." Nanjo Aimi raised her voice slightly. "While bringing rights and benefits, you naturally have to shoulder equal responsibilities."

Uesugi Tetsu blinked and asked, "Is there a fixed number of demons that need to be exorcised each month?"

"—No, it's about getting stronger."

Nanjo Aimi said calmly, "Become stronger as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time. You don't need to worry about anything else. This is the purpose of this potential assessment system."

"—Before the next wave, perhaps the full wave, arrives, the Special Affairs Office needs more capable and independent Onmyoji and swordsmen, not just ordinary people who can only fight against small fry."

Uesugi Tetsu and Ririko looked at each other and saw the unconcealable joy in each other's eyes. It was rare to have such an open-minded official organization.

Nanjo Aimei continued, "So naturally, there will be a strength assessment every month."

"From C-rank to S-rank, and then to the seeds in each division, the assessment content is also very simple - everyone just plays a match and it's over.

The strong rise, the weak fall. It's that simple."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded: "As it should be."

If you enjoy more resources, you must become stronger. Otherwise, it would be a waste of cultivation resources.

As for how to fight and what the specific rules are, Uesugi Tetsu doesn't need to worry about it. He believes that Nanjo-san and the Special Affairs Office can handle such matters properly.

"Oh right," Nanjo Aiji said as if she suddenly remembered something, "I almost forgot to mention that the potential of Ms. Tokugawa that I recommended is S-level. Since I can't recommend two seeds at the same time, I hope Ms. Tokugawa will work hard on her own next month."

Lilizi rubbed her hands together in anticipation: "I understand."

Huh? I hit Lilizi?
Kitano Runa stood aside with her mouth open, looking as if she had lost all hope in life - she thought that as a fake S-level player who couldn't even understand the basics of the Soul Gathering Technique, she would probably be cruelly eliminated next month.

Uesugi Tetsu was thinking.

If he could fight against many powerful opponents who were good at swordsmanship or Yin-Yang magic, wouldn't his skill proficiency be much faster?
Although Uesugi Tetsu had often fought with demons in the past, he had never had any sparring matches.

But one thing is very obvious - the stronger the demon he fights, the more his skill proficiency will increase.

This phenomenon should be more applicable to human practitioners whose skill levels are usually higher than their own attributes.

He longs for more worthy opponents!

Thinking of this, Uesugi Tetsu began to look forward to the opponents he had never met. He asked, "So, will we be sparring with all the seeds in Tokyo, or even the whole country?"

Nanjo Aimi replied while typing on the keyboard: "Tokyo is possible, but the whole country is a bit difficult..."

The sound of a lighter rang out, and she seemed to light a cigarette first, and then she said slowly and unhappily,
"This system was developed and implemented by the Special Affairs Office. Although it was recommended to the Onmyoji Bureau, they don't seem to be buying it. As for those small-town aristocratic families that value bloodlines, and those dojos that value inheritance, it's even more difficult to say."

"—There will be a grand competition before the Emperor later. Whether this system can be widely adopted will depend on your performance."

The remnants and remnants of the old era.

The same thought flashed through Uesugi Tetsu's and Ririko's minds. He sighed, "That's about enough business... Nanjo-san, are you using the hands-free mode now?"

"The one wearing headphones, you say."

Uesugi Tetsu then asked, "How is Manatsu?"

"She's doing great. She's serious about her work and willing to endure hardships, working overtime diligently. Although she's still a little unfamiliar with many aspects, overall she's adapting well. Don't worry, I'll be there to protect her, so there won't be any workplace bullying."

When Uesugi Tetsu heard this, he almost laughed out loud. Those who bullied Nanjo Aimi in the Arakawa District today really thought that the Nine Clans were too many. The grass on the graves of the previous examples had not yet grown.

He thanked Nanjo Aimi and hung up the phone, then turned around and saw the stunned Ririko.

"nothing."

Lilizi smiled. "It just suddenly occurred to me that Manatsu once said she'd never want to work in the workplace, even if it meant being a convenience store clerk... Everyone has changed."

Kitano Runa shrank behind her, wanting to say something to her, "Why haven't I changed yet?"

But she still didn't say anything to break the slightly sad atmosphere.

But this atmosphere only lasted for a dozen seconds before it was broken by Lilizi herself.

She clapped her hands heavily and said, "Now that all unnecessary matters are over, Uesugi-kun, let's begin today's training!"

Spiritual practice.

As soon as he heard these two words, Uesugi Che couldn't help but feel waves of phantom pain all over his body - don't even mention how much fun it was for Ririko to beat him up these days.

Ever since Lilizi mastered the so-called "field" technique on the day the wave came, she can attack at will within a range of about ten feet around her.

Uesugi Tetsu had no idea about the specific operating mechanism of this idealistic ability. He only knew that Ririkko was becoming more and more proficient in using this new ability by constantly beating him.

You can be attacked by Lilizi from any direction, up, down, front, back, left, and right.

So now Uesugi Tetsu can finally let go and fight with Lilizi with all his strength without using spiritual power.

And during training, Lilizi could even act like an off-field instructor, constantly pointing out his swordsmanship problems.

Both of them put more pressure on each other and at the same time increased the speed of each other's progress.

The only difference is that what Ririkō consumed was her mental energy, while what Uesugi Tetsu was beaten physically.

Uesugi Tetsu twisted his neck and strode towards the dojo: "Come on!"

——But in order to continue to rapidly improve the proficiency of swordsmanship and breathing techniques, this little bit of hardship is nothing!
Kitano Runa followed behind them and had already downloaded the Special Affairs Office APP, ready to check the specific benefits of her S-level status.

……

After a while, Uesugi Tetsu and Ririko arrived at the bustling kendo dojo.

It is different from the previous quiet time when everyone went to the classroom to attend academic classes.

After the wave arrives, students who have achieved success in kendo training or have some talent can choose when to come to the dojo for training.

The dojo, which was originally filled with the sound of bamboo swords hitting each other, was now filled with exclamations the moment Uesugi Tetsu and the other man appeared.

Someone stopped what he was doing and called out to everyone, "President, it's the president who's here to practice!"

One beginner's eyes lit up: "Can we see the Tokugawa goddess wielding a sword and beating up the King of Nezha again?"

"What do you mean by wielding a sword through the air?" Kondo Hideya, who was instructing a beginner, swung his hand towards his head. "That's called 'Sword Domain', a unique skill mastered only by the legendary ancient swordsmen."

After saying that, Kondo Hideya looked at the girl who was smiling and greeting everyone with a complicated expression.

The Tokugawa who once bowed to him for advice has left him far behind.

"Uesugi-kun is not the King of Toughness!" A girl complained, "Who else but him can take on the president? If you can do it, go ahead!"

The beginner smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it then."

The two people at the center of the discussion didn't even turn their heads, completely unconcerned with the words. Soon, the previously crowded dojo cleared a spacious area for them.

On all four sides of the dojo, students sat in rows waiting to observe and learn Uesugi Tetsu's swordsmanship.

As for why it wasn't Lilizi who was better at swordsmanship... regardless of the fact that they couldn't understand the overly sophisticated sword moves, the more crucial point was that Lilizi had hardly done it herself these days.

But Uesugi Tetsu is different.

Uesugi Tetsu's natural Rishin-ryu is at the mastery level, which is perfect for students whose swordsmanship level is mostly at the entry-level or skilled level to observe and learn.

After putting on his kimono and gripping a new bamboo sword made of special materials, Uesugi Tetsu took some soul-soothing incense ash (slightly) and first glanced at his current proficiency level.

【Natural Rational Flow (Mastery 720/3000)】

[Coronal Breathing (Proficiency 1050/3500)]

A long period of training with Lilizi can provide about 100 points of proficiency in two skills.

The speed of this improvement is already terrifying. If Uesugi Che practiced swordplay alone, the effect would be at least 50% to 60% reduced.

This can be seen from the extra proficiency in Corona Breathing - in his personal time, Uesugi Tetsu practiced breathing almost non-stop.

But even after pushing himself to such an extent, his proficiency in breathing techniques was only less than 300 points higher than his swordsmanship.

He shook his head, suppressing his fatigue: "It's a double torture of the mind and body."

Ririkko, who had already tied her hair into a ponytail, asked, "What did you say, Uesugi-kun?"

"I said……"

Uesugi Che moved his arms, and the internal energy surging in the smallest nerves was quickly suppressed and transformed into a stronger internal driving force.

He came forward with his sword raised like a ghost,
"——It's great to have you!"

——The students around were stunned as they saw the two of them for the first time.

"Such sword speed, such dodging ability...why can't I see anything clearly?!"

Seeing these new students with clear yet foolish eyes, Kondo Hideya rubbed his temples in distress and patiently explained for the umpteenth time,
"Uesugi Tetsu, that boy, has mastered the breathing technique to the point where 'strengthening the five internal organs and allowing Qi to flow through the four extremities'. He can freely receive and release his internal Qi and apply it to any part of his body.

Because of this, his turns and sword moves would suddenly change mid-fight, making it impossible for ordinary people to defend themselves."

Kitano Runa was scrolling through her phone blankly - she was actually on the same level as the two guys on the field, was she kidding? It didn't feel real at all!

Let’s see what benefits we can get first.

"I go!"

The moment she clicked on the "Basic Monthly Salary", Kitano Runa covered her mouth and exclaimed, then quickly picked up the phone and carefully counted the zeros on it.

"Four zeros, five zeros...six zeros!"

Kitano Runa fiddled with her fingers in bewilderment for a moment before she thought to herself, shocked: "Eight million?! Eight million yen a month?!"

Eight million...how many action figures can I buy with that, how many luxurious lunch boxes can I eat, and how many clothes can I buy for my mom and others?

Kitano Runa made the decision almost instantly.

——We must hold this S-rank tightly in our hands.

——This is her only chance to change her life.

What Kitano Runa didn't know was that the moment she made the decision, the surrounding spiritual energy began to continuously flow into her body.

Even though she hasn't learned the basic spirit absorption method yet.

……

Two hours later, in the dojo cubicle.

A gentle breeze blew through the window.

After a fierce battle, Uesugi Tetsu and Ririko opened their robes and leaned or lay down to rest casually, with sweat dripping from their temples.

Uesugi Tetsu, who was aching all over, looked up in confusion.
"Strange, why is the concentration of spiritual energy so low here in the dojo?"

Lilizi didn't respond to him. The long period of using the sword domain had exhausted her, and she couldn't even continue to deduce the fighting in her mind.

Uesugi Che didn't pay much attention to it. He took out the divine fortune stick from his storage backpack and remembered that he should have asked for a fortune yesterday about "what will happen after using the token of the walking rally."

For this type of props that have not been used yet and whose effects are unknown, Uesugi Tetsu believes that it is better to use the divine fortune stick to predict the general direction first.

As a result, I accidentally forgot because I was too tired from practicing.

"It's a day's loss."

Uesugi Che closed his eyes and began to shake the fortune stick tube slowly, causing the bamboo fortune sticks to make crisp shaking sounds inside the tube wall.

After a while, a long and thin fortune stick fell on the wooden floor, attracting Riruko's curious gaze.

She took two breaths, stared at the two characters "Suekichi" on the sign, and asked, "Uesugi-kun, what is this?"

Without asking how the fortune-telling tube appeared, Ririkko was no longer surprised by Uesugi Tetsu's ability to take out items at will. It was normal for Yin-Yang magic to be able to do this.

"The divine fortune stick. It is said to be a blessing that can bring good luck to people." Uesugi Tetsu picked up the [Suekichi] fortune stick on the ground and narrowed his eyes slightly.

[Royal God Lot·Moji]

[——A dusty place, with an unlit fuse.]

Lilizi pointed at the word "Ji" and said weakly, "Doesn't this mean that good things are going to happen?"

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head: "No, this is not good."

Moji is the lowest level that leans towards good luck, almost equivalent to neutral or "unlucky".

This means that using the walking rally token right now may lead to unpredictable consequences. Although it won’t lead to bad things, it’s not a very good time either.

So, should I use the ticket change function which can only be used once a week?
Uesugi Che pondered for a moment and finally gave up the option of changing the ticket - he still had a lot of things to do, and using the walking rally token was not a pressing matter.

It would not be good if it was changed to [very bad].

It’s not a bad idea to wait a little longer.

After flipping the [Suekichi] fortune stick into his storage backpack, Uesugi Tetsu asked Ririko, who had been staring intently at the fortune stick holder,
"Lilizi, are you interested in fortune-telling as well? If you need it, it's okay if you use it once in a few days."

But Lilizi shook her head firmly: "No, I don't need it."

"I've never believed in such ethereal things as fortune or luck. I just found it strange that you, Uesugi-kun, seem to believe so much in this fortune-telling box."

Uesugi Tetsu looked up and met Ririko's gaze in the dim light. He heard her say seriously,
"Things are always decided by people, not by heaven or non-existent gods."

Uesugi Tetsu touched the divine fortune stick in his hand thoughtfully, remembering what Lilizi had said, then stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I have to leave first. How about you, Lilizi?"

The girl rolled her eyes at him and said, "Lie down and rest for a while."

Uesugi Che curled his lips and said, "It's really rare to hear such words from you."

After leaving the dojo and taking a quick shower and changing clothes in the school's public bathhouse, Uesugi Tetsu found a deserted spot under a cherry tree, lay down, and closed his eyes.

Changshi, start——!
Flowing smoothly through the water pressure that seemed to have become even greater, Uesugi Tetsu opened his eyes again in front of Kisaragi Station, and with a snap, he transformed into a three... no, a four-tailed fox.

"Suck--"

After transforming into a four-tailed fox, Uesugi Tetsu felt that all the pores on his body opened comfortably due to the spiritual energy flowing from all around.

"If the previous absorption rate was the standard 499 times, then the current state has at least doubled it."

Four fluffy tails swayed in the cold and dry air, and Uesugi Che looked up and stared at the small spiritual power tide caused by his normal breathing.

He could even hear the explosion of spiritual energy caused by excessive compression in the tide.

"Can an ordinary four-tailed fox achieve this level?"

Uesugi Che stared at the [Spiritual Arts: 57] in the attribute panel, and felt that his spiritual arts attribute might not simply refer to "spiritual power, spiritual power reserves"?
"Perhaps the affinity for spiritual energy, absorption speed, and so on, are all factored into the increase in spiritual attributes? Just like improving physical fitness doesn't just increase strength, but improves all aspects?"

Uesugi Che couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression.

At the same time, he glanced at the new panel after the three-tailed fox transformed into a four-tailed fox——

【Four-tailed Fox (Young Form)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Level: One and a half stars]

[Level Cap: Three and a Half Stars]

[Talents: Thousand Faces, Soul Seal, Wandering, Rage]

【——A thousand faces and countless appearances, seemingly illusory but not real.】

[Thousand Faces: Consumes spiritual energy to shape appearance and height into any form.]

[Soul Seal: Consumes spiritual energy and temporarily puts the target into a state of loyalty. The higher your Charisma and Spiritual Arts attributes, the stronger the effect.]

[Spiritual Wandering: When transforming into a four-tailed fox, you can consume spiritual energy to actively extract the demonic incarnation and freely control it in the outside world. As time goes by, the spiritual energy consumption gradually increases.]

[Rage: While this skill is active, all attributes are doubled and all skill cooldowns are halved, lasting for one hour. After this skill ends, all attributes remain constant at 48 for 5 hours.]

Although the promotion of the three-tailed fox only brought him "attribute improvement", "four-tailed fox jade token", and two new talents of "soul seal" and "anger", Uesugi Tetsu believed that this was still a huge improvement for him.

There is no need to say much about the first two, and the original talent "Bewitching Soul" has become much better after being changed to "Soul Seal".

Coincidentally, a half-star monster without intelligence or consciousness passed by the end of Uesugi Tetsu's sight.

He raised his eyes and activated the soul seal with very little spiritual power.

So the next moment, Uesugi Tetsu could feel that there was an extremely tough "soul line" in his heart that was connected to Chi.

Although it is impossible to perceive the thoughts of the manipulated person through this soul line, as long as the soul line exists, it means that the manipulated person is still in a state of "absolute temporary loyalty".

As soon as Uesugi Che thought about it, he saw the translucent demon running towards him on all fours.

This is because Uesugi Tetsu conveyed the command to it to "run like a beast", and at the same time, he also gave it the knowledge of "how beasts run" through instructions.

The ignorant and foolish Chi did it.

So there are still many ways to play Soul Seal, but Uesugi Che has no chance to develop it in depth for the time being.

After patting the head of the obedient Chi that had run in front of him, Uesugi Che crushed it to pieces.

As for the talent "anger"?
——The beauty of the numbers is the same as always, and this time the cooldown time of all skills is halved.

You know, whether it is the swordsmanship, breathing techniques, or Yin-Yang magic that Uesugi Tetsu learned, they can all be considered skills.

"call--"

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Uesugi Tetsu felt his body being refilled with spiritual energy and summoned Nishaku-sama out of the Jizo statue - in response to her strong request.

"Great--!"

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

As for why I haven't seen him...

Uesugi Tetsu once again felt an itch at the base of his tail, his face twitching slightly, and he reached out to pull the two-foot-old man, which had become small again, out of the four fluffy white fox radishes.

Erchisama smiled foolishly: "Hehe, Master Che, long time no see."

——Ever since Nishaku-sama saw her three-tailed fox form on the day the wave came, she has strongly demanded that she be released whenever she enters the ordinary world.

The excuse is to get some fresh air, but in reality it is to seize any opportunity to rub his ears and tail.

The four-tailed fox, as an incarnation with high charm and long-range means, must be taken out before the white Prajna incarnation.

Therefore, after several unsuccessful attempts to discipline Nishaku-sama, Uesugi Tetsu said no more, but pulled Nishaku-sama out of the tail bush and put it aside as if he were doing a daily task.

Anyway, it wouldn't be a bad thing to touch your own Shikigami a couple of times, and that day, Nishaku-sama did play an indispensable role in the battle against Aibieli.

Regarding this matter, Lord Erchi has not mentioned any reward yet.

It’s okay if she doesn’t mention it, but I can’t not give it to her.

This is a matter of principle.

Uesugi Tetsu turned his head and saw the smiling Nishaku-sama behind his tail.

He clenched his fists and tried to force out a kind smile.

"Nishaku-sama, if you are not contracted as a Shikigami, how do you usually advance?"

"I still know this simple knowledge, Master Che."

The petite two-foot-tall man held his tail and said seriously,
"Roughly speaking, it can be divided into three categories."
