Kyoto is supposedly the most concentrated place of supernatural power, yet demons and ghosts are so arrogant.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled meaningfully, walked over, and unceremoniously pushed aside the group of hot girls. He glared at them with a sharp look, but spoke to Kyoko in a very gentle tone.

"What's wrong, Apricot?"

The group of hot girls wanted to get angry, but when they saw Uesugi Kiyoshi's face, they choked on their words and couldn't say anything.

It wasn't that he was lustful at first sight, but now, even a single glance from Uesugi Kiyoshi, when deliberately given, had enough intimidating power for ordinary people.

In professional terms, it's a crushing defeat of "spiritual power." Those great Onmyoji who specialize in incantations can capture the souls of mortals with just a glance; it's no joke.

When Kyoko saw Uesugi Kiyoshi, her face, which had been on the verge of tears, instantly brightened, as if she had found her pillar of support.

She grabbed Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand anxiously and stammered.

"Uesugi-kun, I ran into someone I know. She's a junior from Hokkaido who works here."

"I met her, and I'm so happy. You know, I don't have many friends, but Qianyu and I are very close!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at the little girl with a strong demonic aura, a sorrowful face, and a bitter expression, and nodded knowingly.

He roughly knew why the two of them had become close; they probably found comfort in each other, as they both seemed like the kind of pitiful girls who would be bullied and humiliated by school bullying.

The only difference is that Xingzi's breasts are probably bigger?

"I only chatted with Qianyu for a few minutes before they came up and said some very nasty things, which were directed at Qianyu."

"I...I don't want to cause trouble for Uesugi-kun, it's just that I don't want to hear them talking about Chiba like that, it's just..."

Xingzi hesitated, then lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

She was just excited, having reunited with her junior from middle school after a long separation, and on a date with Uesugi Kiyoshi today. The combination of these two things made her feel incredibly happy, so when Chiba was being harassed by delinquents, she stepped in to help.

Having been by Uesugi Kiyoshi's side for so long, she has gained more courage. In the past, she might have just cried helplessly and resigned herself to her fate.

"Hey, handsome, is this your girlfriend? Your taste in girlfriends isn't very good."

A hot girl next to him winked at Uesugi Kiyoshi, her eyes alluring and her tone seductive.

"We were just chatting with Qianyu, it's none of your business, right?"

"Qianyu, are you going to hide behind a stranger?"

"Okay, that's fine then. See you at school on Monday?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyelids twitched, and he slowly turned around. Although he was smiling, there was a chill in his smile.

“I didn’t ask you.”

His words, spoken with such intensity, barely revealed a fraction of his palpable killing intent, yet they silenced the hot girls, leaving them frozen in place, falling backward in a daze.

Several hot girls fell together like dominoes, their bodies radiating cleavage, attracting a lot of attention.

Uesugi Kiyoshi watched as a group of delinquents with flamboyant, punk-style outfits, who were sitting in a booth not far away, suddenly turned pale and walked over menacingly.

One of the girls, who seemed to be the leader, struggled to her feet and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with lingering fear.

What kind of monster is this man?

She felt as if she were in an ice cellar, her whole body was ice cold, as if she were being targeted by some large wild beast, and she almost wet her pants. For a moment, she thought that the person in front of her really would kill her.

“I’m telling you, kid, we’re just telling the truth, is that really necessary?”

"That woman is a bastard born of a whore, a fatherless orphan who can only work for others to make a living. Behind her back, she's probably been with countless men, just like her whore mother. What, you want to stand up for her?"

The words spoken by that nonchalant, unruly man were extremely vicious.

Out of the corner of his eye, Uesugi Kiyoshi clearly saw that the little girl hiding behind Kyoko was about to cry.

He clicked his tongue, and his gaze toward those unsavory eyes turned sinister.

"So, what right do these slackers who dress strangely, try to attract attention, spend their parents' money, waste their youth in the best years of their lives, and can only find pleasure in mocking others because they are worthless and live in fear of a bleak future, indulging in pleasure-seeking, have to ridicule a girl from a poor background who earns her money honestly through her own hard work?"

"Because you're shameless?"

"She is infinitely more noble than any of you."

The straightforward tone hits the sore spot in those with ill intentions.

"You bastard, are you looking for a beating?!"

An enraged person is prone to using their fists to solve problems.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was the same.

The punk kid, who had just thrown a punch, suddenly bulged outwards with his eyes and flew out at an extremely fast speed, knocking over several chairs before landing on the ground and screaming in agony.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled and flicked his wrist.

"Look, he's panicking, he's lost his composure."

Chapter 319 The Pitiful Man and the Metamorphosis

Uesugi Kiyoshi was too lazy to waste words on these scumbags.

There are also differences between bad and bad.

Back then, Tohsaka Tora collected protection money, but he was still quite competent in protecting the students who paid the protection money from school violence. You can't say he was right, but for some people, he was indeed a protector.

Without him, perhaps it would be the real end of the world.

But what about these people?

He is a pure perpetrator.

Uesugi Kiyoshi found those words harsh even to himself, let alone a girl a year younger than Kyoko.

To attack a young girl so viciously with words, just because it's fun and interesting? What wrong did she do?

Is her family background and parents something she can decide?

She struggles to survive, working hard while other high school students can enjoy their youth, and still has to endure these hurtful words. Uesugi Kiyoshi can't stand it.

Even without Xingzi's connection, he would have to intervene if he encountered her.

A simple act of kindness could save a life. He's not like he used to be. Back when he first met Kyoko, he hesitated, wondering if offending those delinquents would make his school life difficult. But now...

snort.

At a speed so fast it was invisible to the naked eye, Uesugi Kiyoshi waved his hand without hesitation.

He slapped the thugs a few times, and soon, screaming figures fell to the ground one after another. They rolled around, covering their swollen cheeks, and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi in fear.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is in the nature of such people. How could they not understand that they have encountered a tough and ruthless character?

The one who spoke earlier was probably the leader of the group. He made a quick decision, scrambled to his feet, and ran away.

Upon seeing this, the henchmen followed suit and fled in disarray.

Don't be ridiculous! Even the captain of the school's judo club couldn't send himself flying with a wave of his hand like that!

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced sideways at the collapsed delinquents, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.

"Under normal circumstances, I don't hit women."

"Of course. When I'm angry, you never know what might happen."

"Are you going to stay here and get in my way?"

After a few short screams and hurried footsteps, the bystanders finally disappeared.

Uesugi Kiyoshi caused quite a commotion, but there weren't many people in the store at the time. The customers didn't seem too timid and all looked over as if they were watching a show. When they saw Uesugi Kiyoshi take down a few thugs, some even applauded.

Humans are such creatures; they love to watch the spectacle and judge people's character by their appearance—those delinquents who all look so flamboyant, so well-dressed, and handsome like Uesugi Kiyoshi are naturally considered righteous.

The shop assistant hesitated to come up and ask what was going on, but Uesugi Kiyoshi gave him a look and Ueno Mitsuishi understood and stopped the assistant, took out his wallet, and prepared to clean up the mess.

Perhaps because the compensation offered by Ueno Mitsuishi was generous enough, no one bothered Uesugi Kiyoshi.

He sat in his seat, gave Kyoko a reassuring smile, and then looked at "Chiba" next to him with a playful gaze.

Since regaining some of his memories, Uesugi Kiyoshi has become much more sensitive to the aura emanating from yokai.

After all, he was once the lord of all demons, and countless powerful demons once bowed down to him.

Yokai can be considered a type of spirit or deity. In the definition of "spirits and deities" in the supernatural world, many traditional Japanese yokai are included.

However, monsters, ghosts, gods, and other gods are all completely different, at least in terms of the nature of their power.

Monsters refer to supernatural life forms that exist in the world other than humans and gods.

Demonic energy refers to the extraordinary "power" exerted by supernatural beings like demons.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's mirage is actually a refined and purified form of demonic energy, while the Azure Lotus Ghost Fire is a superior alternative to mirage.

Therefore, he could clearly sense that the little girl hiding behind Xingzi was already radiating a frenzied demonic aura.

Whether she was a monster reincarnated as a human by chance, a human transformed into a monster, or was targeted and possessed by some monster.

She's on the verge of exploding right now.

All it takes is a violent emotional outburst that completely shatters her, and her humanity could be instantly erased, replaced by the cold, monstrous mindset of a demon, transforming her into a savage monster.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had encountered this kind of thing many times; most of the time, the Collectors Association did this kind of work.

However, the targets are still a minority; the majority are believers in ghosts and evil gods.

"Thank you so much."

The girl thanked him hesitantly, though her eyes were full of gratitude.

Her embarrassment probably stemmed from the fact that her harsh words had reached the ears of her seniors from junior high school.

Her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Kyoko, like a fangirl. Judging from this, they must be very good friends.

Come to think of it, people who huddle together for warmth in the cold winter should be able to forge very strong friendships.

After seeing that Uesugi Kiyoshi had resolved the trouble, Kyoko smiled sweetly at him with her eyes crinkling, and then began to inquire about her friend's well-being.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't disturb him, but slowly sipped his bitter coffee, calmly squinting and pretending to be asleep, as if he wasn't the one who had just struck with lightning.

Kyoko and her former junior didn't chat for long, since the young woman had work to do and couldn't linger there chatting.

Finally, she bowed deeply to Uesugi Kiyoshi, whispered again, "Thank you, senpai," and fled the scene as if escaping.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled but didn't say anything.
