Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"That's strange, my sister is clearly working as a waitress here."

"As a result, I discovered this small door and sneaked in to take a look."

"Sister Qianyu, have you seen my sister?"

The petite little girl ran over with her short legs.

Fujimura Chiba explained to Uesugi Kiyoshi in a low voice.

"Sir, she is Shiina Himawari, the younger sister of one of my seniors. That senior is also a waitress here, and she took good care of me when I first arrived."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression was somewhat off. He clenched his fist and asked in a low voice, "What's her sister's name?"

Fujimura Chiba blinked, seemingly puzzled as to why Uesugi Kiyoshi's tone had suddenly become so serious, but she still answered truthfully.

"Kikyo--her name is Shiina Kikyo."

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed.

"So, your name is Kikyo."

While they were talking, the little girl had already run up to them.

Before she could even speak to Fujimura Chiba, she saw Uesugi Kiyoshi's face.

The little girl covered her mouth and let out a short gasp, then her face lit up with surprise.

"Brother Uesugi!"

"How will you be here."

"Sunflower misses you so much~"

Shiina Himawari stumbled over and hugged Uesugi Kiyoshi's leg. She looked to be about ten years old, so the action didn't seem out of place for her.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled complicatedly and patted Himawari's little head.

"Yes, Sunflower, it's been a long time."

Uesugi Kiyoshi had seen Himawari; to be precise, he had seen the Shiina sisters.

His relationship with them was that of neighbors.

Uesugi Kiyoshi once told Azuma Maki about his story with the young woman who worked in a brothel.

The story's protagonists are two sisters who live in Arakawa Ward and are his neighbors.

The younger sister is the sunflower in front of us.

Himawari's older sister is busy with various part-time jobs every day to pay off the debts left by her parents. She is often not at home. When Uesugi Kiyoshi comes home, he sometimes sees Himawari waiting alone for her sister to get off work.

Arakawa Ward is a dangerous place with all sorts of people, and Uesugi Kiyoshi often feels sorry for her. He would find something to do at the door, look at the sunflowers, and chat with her until her sister came home, and then Uesugi Kiyoshi would go home.

Compared to Shiina Kikyo, Uesugi Kiyoshi was more familiar with sunflowers.

Before today, he didn't even know that the beautiful woman with a gentle face, whose back was bent by the burdens of life, and whose face was covered in dust but whose temperament remained undiminished, was named "Kikyo".

They barely exchanged a few words.

Even after that accidental act of heroism in saving the damsel in distress, the two sisters hurriedly moved away without saying goodbye, and have been out of contact ever since.

So long that they almost disappeared from Uesugi Kiyoshi's memory.

Startled from his reverie, Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression suddenly changed.

Fujimura Chiba vaguely mentioned that she seemed to have been sold to this shop by her unscrupulous mother and offered to a monk.

So, this isn't the first time this store has done something like this.

They seem to have a particular fondness for young and beautiful girls.

Sunflower said her sister didn't go home after get off work.

I hope she's not in danger!

Uesugi Kiyoshi had a pretty good impression of Shiina Kikyo.

This has nothing to do with profession, appearance, or temperament.

He simply felt that it was already awe-inspiring that a girl of only twenty years old could live such a difficult life, carrying a debt that would crush an adult and raising a younger sister who had just started elementary school.

For example, didn't Fujimura Chiba's useless father choose to end his own life?

Kikyo Shiina's condition is much more serious than that of that coward.

But she chose to live on strongly for her sister's sake.

This choice will earn you Uesugi Kiyoshi's respect.

Such a person should not suffer such a tragic fate.

Therefore, when some thugs made unwanted advances towards Shiina Kikyo, Uesugi Kiyoshi intervened and didn't care about causing trouble.

Therefore, Uesugi Kiyoshi is now somewhat anxious.

Since his memories of his past life returned, he felt extremely resentful about not being able to protect those around him.

He has lost too much.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped dawdling and took a step forward, moving as fast as a ghost.

He left the group of people behind him behind.

At his speed, even the longest passage can be traversed in an instant.

A few seconds later, he kicked open the iron gate at the end of the passage.

The pungent smell of blood intensified his bad premonition.

Behind the door is a large hall with a traditional Japanese tatami design and many futons on the floor.

The aphrodisiac's smell became extremely strong.

The first thing you see is naked bodies intertwined, and they turn a deaf ear to anyone who intrudes.

Uesugi glanced at it and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't see that familiar face.

But when he glanced to the side, his expression froze.

In the corner of the wall, leaning against the wall, was a figure on the verge of death.

The ordinary face, hidden by hair stained with blood, slowly overlapped with the beautiful face in his heart.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt like he was about to stop breathing.

In the end, it was too late?

If I don't dawdle, can I save her?

Unnecessary thoughts of self-blame welled up in his mind, but he forcibly suppressed them.

He approached the corner of the wall step by step, and slowly bent down.

Shiina Kikyo was dressed in a waitress outfit that was somewhat revealing but not too outrageous. Her long hair was loose, and half of her head was stained with blood, probably from being hit by a heavy object.

There was a knife wound on her lower abdomen, and blood pooled beneath her. The dagger, the murder weapon, was still stuck in her abdomen, yet she was holding it in her own hand.

This appearance makes it seem like he's ending his own life.

"Did he commit suicide because he didn't want to be humiliated?"

"That's why you were left in this corner?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi pursed his lips and reached out to brush Shiina Kikyo's hair aside.

Although the person in front of him was still breathing slightly, Uesugi Kiyoshi could clearly sense that she was taking in more air than exhaling.

He can't be saved. With injuries like this, and he's just a mortal, even the association's methods can't save him.

Perhaps sensing someone approaching, Kikyo Shiina opened her eyes a crack.

Then, she managed to open her mouth and raise her hand, making a barely audible sound.

"Is it Uesugi-kun?"

"Am I already dead? I'm even hallucinating?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi had just invoked divine power to possess him today, and was already somewhat unsettled. The unpleasant fragrance, coupled with the sight of this scene, made him even more agitated and unlike his usual calm self.

He grasped Shiina Kikyo's hand and slowly channeled a wisp of mirage energy into it.

This did nothing to help her injury, but at least it gave her a little more strength to speak.

Kikyo Shiina's body was nourished by the mirage, and she did feel a little better.

Her voice was a little louder.

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head, his voice low and menacing.

"No, I'm not hallucinating. It's a coincidence that I'm here—I'm sorry I'm late."

He didn't even know what to say.

What good would it do to say anything to a dying person?

Even though Shiina Kikyo's face was covered in blood, you could still see some of her former charm; she was undoubtedly a great beauty.

She took a few weak breaths, and it was unclear whether she understood what Uesugi Kiyoshi was saying.

"Is this not an illusion? It seems that God is kind to me, allowing me to see Uesugi-kun one last time before I die."

Uesugi Kiyoshi remained silent and did not speak.

Shiina Kikyo, however, seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, and her tone became much more hurried.

"Oh right, sunflowers, sunflowers!"

What should we do with the sunflowers?

"Uesugi-kun, I know it's a bit rude of me to say this, but could you please take care of my sunflower for me?"

"If I die, what will she do all by herself?"

The dying older sister, even on her deathbed, kept thinking of her younger sister's name.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt as if his throat was completely blocked, and he couldn't speak.
