Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

Uesugi Kiyoshi was not exaggerating when he said this.

Maki Azuma was Aka back then; that was something he was certain of.

A demon that embodies weaponry, wielding power over slaughter, fond of drinking blood, and possessing unparalleled sharpness.

She is the Demon Blade Princess.

Just as Uesugi Kiyoshi's swordsmanship talent in this life is extraordinary, these accumulations from his previous life do not easily dissipate, but are inherited as if by instinct.

Furthermore, Maki Azuma is also linked to the spirit of Sakamoto Ryoma, who is also a very famous swordsman.

Her swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing the naive young swordswoman she once was.

Upon hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi's words, Higashima Maki immediately became extremely wary.

Ever since that day when she made a direct and unabashed declaration of her pursuit of Uesugi Kiyoshi, she has been keeping a close eye on her "love rival's" movements.

Ah Lin, Xingzi, and Li Fuyao.

Among them, the one who posed the greatest threat to her was Li Fuyao.

Whenever Maki Higashifumi saw the way this young lady from the Tai Sui Gang, whom she had met a few times, looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi, she felt a surge of unease.

That confident, self-assured gaze, as if he had Uesugi Kiyoshi completely under his thumb, always made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Now, she knows that Li Fuyao is in Kyoto.

Before she could ask, Uesugi Kiyoshi said to himself, "Akutagawa has run into some trouble in Kyoto. I'll go lend a hand—Shingo, you can come with me, taking Nobuna with you."

Narumi Shingo glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi and nodded impassively. Narumi Nobuna stared longingly at the food on the table, nodding and muttering, "Okay, you bastard Uesugi, all you do is order people around. Hurry up and serve the food!"

Kamiizumi Rin nodded vigorously, seemingly agreeing with Narumi Nobuna's opinion.

These two foodies look extremely hungry.

Uesugi Kiyoshi slapped his forehead and chuckled to himself.

There is such a rule: if the head of the household doesn't touch his chopsticks, everyone else has to go hungry.

"Okay, it was my oversight. I'll start eating now."

He picked up his bowl and chopsticks to indicate that everyone should not be shy, and then two pictures of tigers pouncing on their prey appeared in front of him.

Rin Kamiizumi and Nobuna Narumi were evenly matched. The food on the table disappeared at an extremely fast pace. The two took a moment to look at each other, and Kiyoshi Uesugi even noticed a hint of mutual respect between them.

"Slower!"

Almost simultaneously, two hand chops struck Rin Kamiizumi and Nobuna Narumi on the forehead.

On this side, it was Uesugi Kiyoshi who made the move, and on the other side, it was naturally Narumi Shingo.

After being punched, the two gluttons reluctantly slowed down their eating and became much more well-behaved.

"Um... is Uesugi-kun going on a long trip?"

Kyoko Nohara looked somewhat dejected upon hearing the news. She felt that she had finally gained Kiyoshi Uesugi's approval, which was a good opportunity to cultivate their relationship. She was racking her brains with her naive little mind to figure out how to show her feminine charm and take their relationship to the next level—it would be even better if they could fast-forward to having a baby right away. But then she heard this news, and her disappointment was written all over her face.

Uesugi Kiyoshi patted Nohara Kyoko's small hand tenderly and said softly, "It's okay, it's spring break anyway, Kyoko, come with me."

“Ah Lin is going too. Our whole family will go together. We can treat it as a trip. I’m not like I used to be. I can protect you all now.”

Uesugi Kiyoshi said this, but he wasn't actually scared at all.

The two Lords of Arakawa, plus the Tyrannosaurus-level Greatsword Swordsman, and him, the Lord of a Hundred Demons, whose memories are incomplete but whose combat power is still considerable.

Kyoto is nothing more than a den of dragons and tigers.

Maki Higashiwagi kept unconsciously picking at the rice in her bowl, her face extremely serious. She had just witnessed the little interaction between Kiyoshi Uesugi and Kyoko Nohara, and her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously shouted out.

"Sir! I want to go with you too!"

By the time she realized what was happening, everyone sitting at the table was staring at her in astonishment. Only Kagura, the witch behind her, beamed with joy, clenched her little fist, and gave Maki Higashifumi a cheering look.

It was almost as if they were saying, "Your Highness! Well done!"

Maki Azuma also felt that speaking loudly was somewhat impolite, her face flushed, but she still insisted on speaking.

"Sir, Dongwen Society also has partners in Kyoto. If you go to Kyoto on business, you will need these people from all walks of life."

"Moreover, I have recently gained some insights into swordsmanship and would like to show them to you, but I have never had the opportunity. This time, I would like to go into battle with you!"

Since Uesugi Kiyoshi was on official business, fighting was inevitable.

That reason is quite reasonable.

"I don't really care, but...the affairs of the Dongwen Association..."

With a flick of her sleeve, Maki Azuma said decisively, "There's nothing important in the guild that I have to do personally. If there is, Kasumi and Kagura can handle it for me!"

"I'll go with you, sir!"

She clenched her fists secretly.

There's no turning back now, Maki!

Look, because of your carelessness, you've already pushed your husband a big step towards someone else!

From now on, I won't give an inch!

Kagura, standing behind him, gazed at Maki Higashiba's retreating figure with a mixture of worry and joy in her eyes.

It's definitely a good thing that the young lady is bravely pursuing her own happiness.

But what about all those piles of documents in the study? Am I supposed to handle them myself?

No way! People could die!

Chapter 278 Narukami Sword Qi

After thinking for a moment about Maki Higashimoto's request, Kiyoshi Uesugi nodded happily.

As long as there are no problems with the Dongwen Association, he will naturally have no problems either.

He had a feeling that he would run into many "old friends" on his way to Kyoto.

So the more people accompanying you, and the stronger they are, the better.

Moreover, Azuma Maki is listed in the Scroll of One Hundred Demons and is the reincarnation of the Demon Sword Princess, deeply trusted by the Lord of One Hundred Demons. Uesugi Kiyoshi naturally had no reason to refuse her.

She's really good at fighting now.

Moreover, perhaps if she goes to Kyoto, Maki will be able to awaken some memories of her past life, just like her?

It's hard to say for sure.

He's always had this idea. Look, even the Lord of Arakawa is a reincarnation, yet he only remembers him, while Kyoko and Maki have completely forgotten him. That doesn't make sense.

Therefore, these things may all be recoverable.

Of course, Uesugi Kiyoshi had no intention of forcing this; he would let things take their course.

Now, he is surrounded by Nohara Kyoko and Higashi Maki, not Kyoko and Aka.

Past and present lives are now separated by lifetimes.

"Alright, then take care of the Dongwen Association matters and come see me tomorrow morning."

"Leave around seven o'clock, don't be late."

After giving a few instructions, Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped talking about the topic.

As he ate his rice, his mind wandered to memories of the past few days since the lockdown was lifted, as well as the unexpected incident in Kyoto. He was lost in thought for a moment.

The next day, early in the morning.

Uesugi Kiyoshi sat in the passenger seat of the minivan, resting with his eyes closed.

Kyoko Nohara and Maki Higashifumi were sitting in the back seat of the car.

Everyone is very punctual, and the convoy arranged by Ueno Mitsuishi started slowly at seven o'clock.

The journey from Tokyo to Kyoto is about 500 kilometers, and by car it takes about seven or eight hours. Even if you drive fast, it will still take five or six hours.

If it were a regular trip, taking the Shinkansen or flying directly would be much faster, but for business trips like this, many facilities cannot be used at train stations and airports.

The Collectors Association does not have its own private plane, so they can only travel by car.

Kyoko was very excited to learn that she could go to Kyoto and that she could go with them. She barely slept all night and packed several large bags of things. Uesugi Kiyoshi doted on her and not only didn't say anything, but also arranged several extra cars to stuff all of the little rabbit's moving luggage into them.

Kyoko grew up in Hokkaido and later came to Tokyo for school. She never went anywhere else and her life consisted of going back and forth between school and home every day. Since coming to the Uesugi family, it has probably become going back and forth between school, supermarket, and home. She has never even gone on a long trip, let alone gone on a trip.

So, she was naturally excited to have this opportunity, especially with Uesugi Kiyoshi. She had no idea about the world of superhumans or Uesugi Kiyoshi's work. Last night, as she was thinking about it, her thoughts drifted to the topic of their "honeymoon."

That's why she was so tired when she woke up this morning.

As soon as she got on the bus, Nohara Kyoko couldn't hold on any longer and closed her eyes. She leaned back in her seat, swaying precariously, and soon her even breathing could be heard. It seemed that she had fallen into a light sleep.

Maki Azuma wasn't a talkative person; she just stared at Kiyoshi Uesugi's profile, lost in thought.

She hasn't been feeling well lately, and for some reason, she keeps having strange dreams at night.

She would dream of herself wearing ancient-looking armor, wielding a sword comparable in size to a nodachi, and fighting wantonly on a blood-soaked battlefield.

Limbs flew everywhere, blood flowed like a river, and people, ghosts, demons, and gods fell in droves before her, while her will grew increasingly blurred.

Gradually, the urge to kill filled his mind.

Just when she was about to lose control of her violent killing intent, Uesugi Kiyoshi's calm and collected face would always appear before her in time, bringing an end to this nightmare.

This is actually nothing unusual. The mental strength of superhumans far surpasses that of ordinary people, and they can often connect with the mental fluctuations of inexplicable ghosts and gods. Especially when they are dreaming, it is perfectly normal for them to sense some chaotic images.

However, strangely enough, every time she had such a dream of killing, Maki Higashimoto's swordsmanship would increase at an unbelievable speed.

The mastery of sword techniques, the enhancement of speed and power, and... pure killing skills.

It was as if these things were engraved in her mind; she must have been born with them.

Because it was too unbelievable to tell anyone, she kept these things to herself and didn't tell anyone else.

She came to Kyoto with Uesugi Kiyoshi this time because she planned to find an opportunity to be honest with him about this matter and see if he could help her.

The two girls behind him each had their own thoughts, and Uesugi Kiyoshi wouldn't waste a single moment.

Ueno Mitsuishi was driving, and he was completely at ease. As the vehicle slowly started moving, his consciousness sank into a dream.

Inside the mirage, his figure suddenly appeared.
