Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

In the end, he transformed into a god, becoming the Sword Saint of Tokyo and the Lord of a Hundred Demons!

If his plan succeeds in the future, this prayer may be expanded with more words to describe his "power" and "achievements and reputation".

Uesugi Kiyoshi used a little bit of mirage energy, not to bewitch or control Tohsaka Torata—he disdained doing such a thing—but to engrave this belief and aura in Tohsaka Torata's mind, leaving a deep impression on him.

Under Tohsaka Torata's somewhat distant and slightly bewildered gaze, Uesugi Kiyoshi stretched out his right hand. The hazy mirage surged and danced, gathering into a sea, and then slowly revealed its true form.

A miniature statue appeared in Uesugi Kiyoshi's hands.

His tailored Wu-style robe accentuated his tall and straight figure. The sword at his waist gleamed, and his long, strong fingers gripped the hilt. He was poised to strike, exuding an inexplicable air of authority.

The statue's face was mostly covered by a red and white fox mask, revealing only the slightly upturned corners of its lips, which seemed to convey a confident smile of having the outcome in hand.

The gray and black mist swirling around the statue creates a mysterious and eerie atmosphere, making it instantly memorable and captivating.

Toraka Tohsaka instinctively took the statue, muttering to himself.

"The Saint of Swords, Lord of a Hundred Demons"

He was just a high school student, a mere chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) teenager. What Uesugi Kiyoshi just said, and the miraculous trick he used to create something out of nothing, perfectly fulfilled Tohsaka Tora's past fantasies about "extraordinary" things.

He no longer believes that this sect is a money-making organization that deceives its followers.

That makes sense; that sword demon from Dongwen certainly wouldn't be so bored as to create a cult that only scams people out of money!

Is this a true god?

Could it be that Lord Uesugi's abilities were bestowed upon him by the gods? Is he a divine messenger walking among mortals?

A jumble of chaotic thoughts flooded Tohsaka's mind, causing his brain to momentarily freeze.

It took him a full half minute to come to his senses.

With a deep bow, Tohsaka carefully lifted the miniature statue in both hands and resolutely said, "I understand! Lord Uesugi, thank you for entrusting me with such an important task!"

"I won't let you down!"

Judging from Tohsaka Torato's expression after this combination of kindness and severity, he was already eager to go through fire and water for Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't say anything more and casually gave a phone number.

That was a call from Mitsuishi Ueno.

"Well, if you have any problems in the future, just go to this person. He'll solve small problems for you, and he'll report to me if something big happens."

"Good luck, Tohsaka-kun."

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't say anything more, but patted Tohsaka Torata's shoulder meaningfully, left the umbrella with him, and strode away without any worry or hesitation.

Well, this plan actually costs nothing.

The only thing he had to give up was the statue. As long as Uesugi Kiyoshi had enough mirage energy, he could condense two or three a day. It was a method taught to him by Shuten-dōji, to create statues containing his own aura as a quick way to contact his believers.

Since it's zero cost, there's no need to worry about the returns. If it's effective, it's a huge profit; if it's a failure, it's not a loss.

But judging from Tohsaka Tora's determined, almost fanatical gaze behind him.

It seems that this gang leader's attitude towards this matter is not so casual.

Chapter 199 Performance Review

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't take his recent encounter with Tohsaka Torata to heart; he had simply dropped a seed and was letting it grow freely.

The promotion of the power of faith still relies on the impetus of conglomerates and capital; in this country, this is the only viable path.

He left the school gate, got back into his car, and started spacing out again.

He suddenly realized he had nowhere to go.

He glanced at his watch; it was almost lunchtime. He decided to step on the gas and head to the collection association first.

Kudo Yuichi had arranged for someone to keep an eye on the Outer God follower who had been released as bait. He wanted to check on the situation, and afterwards, he thought it would be good to practice his swordsmanship in the association's training room.

He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but every battle he experienced seemed to slightly improve his swordsmanship.

It wasn't just an increase in combat experience; rather, after each battle, his understanding of the sword deepened, and he became adept at using obscure sword techniques. He also unconsciously developed more versatility in dealing with the enemy's changes, almost like an instinct.

This situation puzzled him. He could understand leveling up by fighting monsters, but to be able to increase skill levels by fighting monsters was an extraordinary talent.

Perhaps he really does have that talent.

The port area wasn't far from the headquarters of the Collectors Association. After Uesugi Kiyoshi confirmed that the bait was still roaming in the Sea of ​​Japan, he returned somewhat helplessly to his temporary apartment.

"I am back."

As soon as he opened the door, Uesugi Kiyoshi received a response.

"Welcome back, Uesugi-kun."

Kyoko Nohara was standing on a small stool in the kitchen, busy with something. Uesugi realized that the little rabbit spent the most time in the kitchen every day.

Hearing the door open and hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi's words, she quickly ran to the door, took out Uesugi Kiyoshi's slippers from the shoe cabinet, and placed them neatly beside his feet. Then she looked up and gave him a sweet smile.

"I made eel rice and beef stew, and added some high-quality kelp, a specialty of Hokkaido, to the miso soup. I'm sure Uesugi-kun will love it."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded subconsciously, but stared blankly at the living room of the apartment, his eyes somewhat lost.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xingzi."

"How is this going?"

"Was your house burgled? Who's so bold as to cause trouble here? What are the association's security personnel doing?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi was somewhat angry because the living room sofa had been badly damaged and was half collapsed, revealing the brown wooden structure. There were also sawdust scattered on the floor, making the place look rather messy.

"Ah! This!"

Kyoko Nohara looked flustered, her head down, clutching the hem of her clothes, and shaking her head rapidly.

"I'm sorry, Uesugi-kun, I accidentally broke this. I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry to cook, so I haven't cleaned it up yet."

Uesugi Seiichi raised an eyebrow, his thoughts racing through his mind before he realized what he meant.

It seems no one else did it, because Xingzi is eager to take the blame.

"With your small frame, even if you used the sofa as a trampoline and danced on it, you couldn't possibly damage it to that extent—what about Ah Lin?"

His gaze darted around and quickly locked onto Izumi Rin, who was peeking out of his room.

When it comes to demolishing houses, Kamiizumi Rin is in no way inferior to the three sled dogs. It's just that her master's family is big and powerful. An ordinary working-class person might really not be able to keep up with Kamiizumi Rin's house-demolition speed.

She didn't do it on purpose, but the power she inadvertently released easily damaged the furniture. The floor of her master's dojo had to be replaced every few months. Nearby renovation companies treated Kamiizumi Hidekawa like a god of wealth, thanks in large part to Kamiizumi Rin.

"Come out and tell me what happened."

Uesugi Kiyoshi twitched his lips and sighed helplessly.

With a forced smile, Izumi Rin slunk out of the room, head hanging low, and reluctantly shuffled over to Uesugi Kiyoshi, occasionally casting pleading glances at Nohara Kyoko.

Nohara Kyoko was also a traditional Japanese woman who was submissive and devoted to her husband. She had no intention of disobeying Uesugi Kiyoshi. She just blinked her big eyes and remained silent, looking somewhat embarrassed.

This performance amused Uesugi Kiyoto.

Actually, this is not a big deal. With his current wealth, he doesn't care about a sofa. Does he expect Ryunosuke Akutagawa to ask him for compensation for some furniture?

He won't give it to me even if I ask!

This scene reminded Uesugi Kiyoshi of when he was learning his skills. Uesugi Rin would come back from playing outside and casually break several floorboards, which would earn her a good scolding from her master. Then, she would look at him with wet eyes, hoping that he would come to save her.

He shook his head, both amused and exasperated, but his heart softened. Although Izumi Rin was a bit carefree, she had always treated him as her "senior brother" and was actually quite well-behaved, without any capricious tendencies. In essence, after spending this time together, their relationship had become more like familial affection.

The older brother is taking care of his younger sister. No, perhaps "father taking care of daughter" would be a more accurate description.

He didn't dwell on the broken sofa, but asked with some concern, "What happened? Before Master left, he told me that your sealing shackles had stabilized and wouldn't affect your normal life. The incident of breaking the floorboards hasn't happened for a long time. Why is it like this today?"

Are you alright?

This is what Uesugi Kiyoshi is worried about.

In Uesugi Kiyoshi's opinion, it was not a good idea to imprison Kamiizumi Rin's monstrous strength deep within her body with a small talisman.

Throughout history, when it comes to controlling something, it has always been better to guide than to block, especially when it comes to forces that are closely related to the human body.

Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't quite understand why Kamiizumi Hidekawa had asked an Onmyoji to seal away a portion of Kamiizumi Rin's power. He was even more puzzled by the fact that most of her consciousness was sealed away to suppress that part of her power.

However, over this long period of time, he has also made some discoveries.

As far as he knew, all extraordinary beings would fall into a crisis of depravity to some extent. The ghosts and gods were always persistent and relentless in their pursuit of these reborn bodies. He himself had almost succumbed to it many times.

But Izumi Rin has never had this experience.

He had never seen this silly girl fall into the evil thoughts of ghosts and gods—this was not like a fool being lucky. Now that he thought about it, those shackles and strange seals might not be so simple.

If Kamiizumi Hidekawa takes such good care of his closed-door disciple, he certainly wouldn't harm his own daughter.

Rin Kamiizumi chuckled sheepishly, tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Hmm, it's probably because I've been in too many fights lately. It's okay, it's okay, I'll try my best to control myself! You have to believe me! Kiyoshi!"

Uesugi Kiyonobu is the one who's up to no good!

He considered it carefully for a while, recalling how Kamiizumi Rin's appetite had become incredibly terrifying due to the lack of her father's restraint and Nohara Kyoko's indulgence. He seemed to have discovered the reason why things had turned out this way.

"."

"What do you mean by too much fighting! I think it's just that you've been eating too much!"

"Has your strength increased at a faster rate recently?"

"Damn it, I knew it!"

"Starting today, you are only allowed to eat two bowls of rice per meal, understand?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi watched helplessly as Izumi Rin's face went from a silly grin to despair. Her mouth opened and closed, her eyes filled with blankness and disbelief. After a few seconds, she let out a scream.

"No! Clear!"

As she spoke, she lunged at Uesugi Kiyoshi, only to have her head pinned down by the quick-thinking young swordsman—even with his current strength, he was knocked back several steps and nearly fell backward.

That's even more ferocious than an elephant!

"Stop arguing, begging for mercy is useless! If you keep eating like this without restraint, you'll go back to your old self. How am I supposed to explain this to my master!"

"My master entrusted you to my care back then! I can't let him down!"

"From now on, reduce your food intake and increase your kendo practice to quickly master the increased strength! Do you understand?"

As Uesugi Kiyoshi's tone became stern, Izumi Rin gave up resisting, hanging her head helplessly, pouting with tears in her eyes, and lying down on the broken sofa in despair, looking utterly hopeless.
