In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

The old wizard slowly pushed open the two wooden doors that were perhaps not even as old as he was, and made a "please" gesture to Uesugi Tetsu and Nishaku-sama.

"I heard that Donor Uesugi came here to promote his shikigami, so I think it would be best to place the tablet here first."

The old monk walked around the front where the tall bronze statue of Buddha was located and came to a secluded side room. He pointed to the empty seat in the corner and said with a smile.

"Master, please answer."

Since it concerns the promotion of his own Shikigami, Uesugi Tetsu naturally did not casually express the opinions of outsiders, but instead humbly sought advice.

The old monk explained: "Although every temple and shrine receives incense and prayers from pilgrims, at the same time, no two temples and shrines receive exactly the same amount of incense and prayers."

"Some temples have many pilgrims praying for wealth, others praying for children, and some seek safety, good luck, or other pilgrims with other concerns... and so on."

The old master looked at the timid Nishaku-sama and gave her a kind smile. "This is the first time that Donor Uesugi's Shikigami has absorbed the power of incense and vows. We don't know if there will be any problems yet, so it's best to try some trial contact."

"If it's not good, we can remove the tablet and move it to another location. If it's not bad, in this day and age, we can just call and move it to another location."

The old master pointed to the empty seat in the center of the side hall and said, "There's nothing wrong with this location."

I didn’t expect that there are so many different ways in the divinely bestowed Tao.

Although Nanjo-san said it was okay before, the physical conditions of different Shikigami cannot be generalized, so Uesugi Tetsu still thought it would be better to be safe.

"Then let's do as the master says."

Uesugi Tetsu pretended to take out the [Standard Tablet of the Special Affairs Office] from his pocket, but actually took it out from his storage backpack and handed it to the old wizard.

【Special Affairs Office Standard Tablet】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: Simply serves as a transfer station and receiver for the incense and wishes of the "divinely bestowed" shikigami.]

【——Sturdy and durable, easy to use. Made by the Special Affairs Office, you deserve it.】

The tablet is made of wood, the texture is a bit rough, and it even feels a little scratchy to the touch.

But it is true that it is very sturdy. When Uesugi Tetsu first got it, he broke more than a dozen bricks and it didn't break at all.

The old monk took the tablet and placed it in the corner of the tablets, then silently performed a few Buddhist incantations.

After about a minute or two, the trembling Erchi Lord stopped shaking and looked up in surprise: "Master Che, it seems that the people around me are no longer rejecting me."

This should be normal.

Uesugi Che looked at the girl whose head was beginning to glow with faint Buddha light and felt like laughing.

Erchiku-sama showed a satisfied expression and chuckled, "I feel a warm sensation all over my body. It's very comfortable."

The old master heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was normal and even more comfortable for Erchisama.

The next moment, a prompt popped up in front of Uesugi Tetsu's eyes——

[Shikigami Yashakuoname's rank is being promoted: 0% (estimated to take half a year to complete)]

Uesugi Tetsu thought for a moment and said, "Master, could you please move the tablet to the center every three days? If there's any problem, I'll call you or come in person."

The old wizard nodded: "Of course there is no problem."

boom--!

At this moment, the wooden door of the side hall of the Imperial Shadow Hall was knocked open.

Hearing the sound of hurried breathing, Uesugi Tetsu turned around and saw the sweaty young monk Huiming. He heard him say,

"Abbot! This is bad!" Huiming said anxiously, "Brother Huiyang heard that you hadn't dealt with the puppet sent yesterday, so he went to Donor Yezi's residence alone to resolve the matter!"

The old master's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "When did Huiyang go there?"

Huiming turned around and pulled out another little monk who was leaning against the door.

When the young novice saw the abbot's furious expression, he immediately lowered his head and threw the secret to the wind. He said tremblingly, "More than half an hour ago. Calculating the time, Senior Brother Huiyang should have arrived."

The old wizard sighed heavily: "This child!"

"Huiming, call Xuanji and the others and go with me to that place." The old master narrowed his eyes. "We have to rescue that stupid kid Huiyang quickly."

"Abbott."

Uesugi Tetsu suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the three people present.

He tapped Kaga Kiyomitsu's hilt lightly: "How about I go ahead? It just so happens that I just had an vendetta against that demon, so I can exorcise it myself and feel at ease."

The old mage opened his mouth, then bowed deeply to Uesugi Che: "Then... I'll trouble you, benefactor Uesugi."

"It doesn't matter."

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the young monk Huiming with a smile and winked at him: "Young Master Huiming, can you lead the way?"

The young monk remembered Uesugi Tetsu's amazing performance just now and nodded seriously.

"Perhaps, we shouldn't have named this child 'Hui'..."

The old wizard sighed softly.

……

In the silver-white Mazda, Uesugi Tetsu looked at the young monk Huiming, who was holding the steering wheel with both hands, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Young Master, can you drive?"

"That's all Senior Brother Huijue taught me." Huiming grinned. "Donor Shangshan, please sit down. We're in a hurry!"

Uesugi Tetsu, who had finally fastened his seatbelt, asked, "What is the relationship between Huijue and you?"

"Ok?"

Huiming had a puzzled look on his face. "Big Brother is Big Brother, right? If I had to say, it's probably because we've all been together in the temple since we were little, so we have a very good relationship."

Uesugi Che was stunned.

Huijue has actually been staying in this small temple where the abbot seems to be only one star since he was a child... Then how did he reach his current level?

Before Uesugi Che could figure out the problem, the Mazda did a drift and stopped in front of an apartment building.

"Donor Uesugi, this is it..."

Huiming pulled up the handbrake, prepared to turn off the engine and pull out the car key.

However, Uesugi Tetsu had already noticed a panicked girl running out from the other side of the road, and behind her, a curse full of resentment was rushing towards her quickly.

——That should be Yezi who is related to the dolls!

We can't let her die here first.

Uesugi Tetsu rushed out of the car without hesitation, opened his folding fan, and used a dazzling bolt of lightning to shatter the curse that was following the girl.

The girl, frightened by the thunder, was about to fall forward.

Before that, Uesugi Tetsu picked her up and asked, "Where are the monk and the doll?"

The girl raised a trembling finger and pointed to the room with closed windows and drawn curtains: "Still in the room... in the room."

Still in the room.

Uesugi Che became alert in his heart - he didn't feel any obvious resentment or spiritual fluctuations there just now.

Seeing Huiming running over, Shangshan Che said to him: "Young Master, you stay here to take care of her, I will go up!"

After saying that, Uesugi Che stirred up a hurricane with electric sparks and disappeared in front of the two.

In the corridor, Uesugi Tetsu first transformed into a four-tailed fox after confirming that there was no one around, and shook the Komainu bell that had not been used for a long time.

Jingle bell bell~

A faint ringing sound was heard.

Immediately, a Komainu with a sturdy body, long and powerful limbs, a dignified face and covered in full armor quietly landed on the stairs and rubbed against Shangshan Che's trouser leg.

Uesugi Tetsu looked down.

——[Komainu Team Leader (Two Stars)]

The Komainu, who had already reached the second star, looked warily at the half-open door above and barked twice as if to remind Uesugi Tetsu.

Although his luck was bad this time as he only summoned one Komainu, the good news is that the Komainu's rank has reached two stars, surpassing Nishaku-sama in combat power.

However, the Komainu Bell is at best a rare piece of equipment, and it is unknown what the upper limit of the Komainu level that can be obtained is.

"go."

The remote-controlled Komainu rushed into the room first. After giving it the "save people" command, Uesugi Che held his breath, jumped out of the window in the corridor, and climbed outside the closed window.

All signs indicate that this princess humanoid should not be weak, so Uesugi Tetsu naturally strives to resolve the battle more easily.

——Letting the powerful Komainu attract attention, and then waiting for an opportunity to backstab him from an unexpected position is a good plan.

"Wang!"

Within seconds, the Komainu's roar was heard.

Then, another weak voice sounded: "Komakuni, whose Shikigami are you... Never mind, thank you very much anyway, wow——"

The Komainu whimpered, seemingly hurt.

——It seems that we can’t wait any longer.

Whatever.

Kaga Kiyomitsu unsheathed his sword and chopped the plastic, glass and curtains in front of him into a pile of grayish-white debris.

Uesugi Tetsu raised his eyes and immediately found the "princess figure" standing in the air, wearing an elegant and luxurious kimono, in the messy living room.

——[Princess Doll (Two Stars)]

At the same time, an extremely deep resentment came over him, lifting up Uesugi Che's hair and causing a rare ripple on the calm surface of his heart.

"No wonder Komainu can't do anything to you."

Uesugi Tetsu instantly determined that this princess humanoid was one of the best even among the two-star ones, because she gave him the feeling that she was not far from the original two-and-a-half-star Nue.

But unfortunately, he is no longer the same as before!

When the princess's human form sensed the movement behind her, her huge pale head immediately turned 180 degrees, staring at Uesugi Che with her two pure black eyes.

It screamed,

"Enemy! Kill you!"

buzzing.

A strange wave swept towards Shangsugi Che, as if trying to arouse the fear and resentment in the deepest part of his heart.

"A mental attack?"

Uesugi Tetsu's movements were unimpeded.

The pale area suddenly extended, causing a hint of human fear to appear on the princess's delicate human face.

Boom boom——!

An exaggerated explosion sounded, and before the princess doll could respond, Kaga Kiyomitsu had already pierced its chest.

"hiss--!"

The princess figure shook her head frantically and let out strange screams, causing Huiyang, who was already dying in the corner, to look extremely painful.

Seeing this, the Komainu immediately bit the back of his collar and dragged him out.

Isn't the heart a weakness?

After Uesugi Tetsu hit the target, he quickly retreated several meters away and observed the gray-white princess figure emerging from her body.

“Shhhhhhhh!”

Substantial sound waves once again emanated from the princess doll's mouth, slightly affecting Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts.

But that's all.

Having mastered the two techniques of Zanshin and Lilizi, Uesugi Tetsu is almost immune to mental and illusion attacks.

What would plunge others into extreme chaos and madness is nothing more than a breeze to him.

“I’m lucky.”

Uesugi Tetsu grinned, and the fiery aura of the corona flowed out from his fingertips. "Since you have no weaknesses, then I will chop you into pieces."

The princess figure covered her empty heart and opened her mouth with difficulty: "Kill you!"
