In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

In this way, the healthy and strong pair of slender legs that were divided by tan lines and almost reached the absolute area, and the white and beautiful back were exposed to the guy walking up the stairs.

Even though most of the middle is covered by the towel, human imagination is endless - it is better to say that half-covered, as if there is something and not there, is the best state.

Uesugi Tetsu admired it quietly for a moment, then chose to turn a blind eye and sat next to Ririko with the encapsulated dissociated love.

Stab, sting, sting.

The last bit of the medicine was poured out from the wooden spoon, and a large amount of white steam came out, raising the temperature in the sauna room to another level.

Uesugi Che exhaled slowly, controlling the strength to practice the Coronal Breathing Technique, quickly adapting to the high temperature environment in the sauna room.

The sound of a wooden spoon being put aside was heard, and then Uesugi Tetsu felt the back of his hand placed at his side being covered by a ball of hot soft flesh.

"Well……"

After turning around, the girl accidentally sat on Uesugi Tetsu's palm, pursed her lips, moved her butt, and sat aside with her legs together.

Uesugi Toru, who witnessed this scene, was a little puzzled.

Weird.

Is this the sound that Lilizi can make?

According to his understanding of Lilizi, it was normal to sit down wherever she got the hand, and it would be harmless to move away as if nothing had happened.

But what's with this "hmm"?

Uesugi Tetsu played with the dissociative love, and after scanning Ririko's ears carefully from head to toe, he suddenly understood after making her ears turn red.

——She seemed to have taken off the kendo pendant that she never took off even when she slept!

So the person sitting in front of him now is the soft and sweet Lilizi who would hug his waist and cry loudly in the van without caring about her image!

But this is strange.

Uesugi Tetsu remembered that ever since the pendant was taken away by the fox, dog and raccoon, Ririko had never taken it off in the outside world, not even once.

Ririkko is the kind of person who takes lessons very seriously, so she only makes most mistakes once.

Uesugi Che didn't bother to hide his doubts and asked directly, "Where's your pendant?"

"Cough! Cough!"

Lilizi coughed loudly twice, as if to build up her courage, and then she said, "I took it off - of course, for the sake of practice!"

The girl rattled off words like a string of cannonballs: "Taking off the pendant will make your heart more sensitive to external stimuli, which is more conducive to spiritual cultivation."

"Besides, the sauna isn't a dangerous place. It's impossible for a demon to suddenly jump out and threaten to eat me."

This explanation makes sense.

If a method is proven to be beneficial to her practice, then Lilizi will definitely do it without any hesitation.

As for whether it is safe to stay by his side... then it is definitely safe. What is the relationship between him and Lilizi? They are close friends, master and disciple, and adoptive father!

So Uesugi Tetsu nodded, moved his body so that he was almost close to Ririko, and then placed the Love of Dissociation on her thigh.

He explained: "This thing will attenuate severely if you're a little further away, so it's better to use it close up."

"Ah... oh."

Lilizi's somewhat dazed voice made Uesugi Tetsu look up in confusion.

Then, he noticed the girl's face, which was as red as a ripe red apple.

Uesugi Tetsu thought about staying away from him, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Lilizi shook her head stiffly, then yelled in her heart, "Heart, slow down!"

Staring at the face in front of him that seemed like it could be squeezed out of water, even though Uesugi Tetsu didn't want to waste any more time and directly enter the state of training, he couldn't help but become interested and wanted to tease her.

It's rare to see Lilizi in this state, and it's even unclear whether there will be a next time.

So, let’s have some fun?

As soon as Uesugi Tetsu came to mind, he picked up the Dissociation of Love and pretended to say something to attract Ririko's attention.

Then, his left hand, hidden behind his back, suddenly poked the girl's waist, hitting deep into the soft flesh.

"ah!"

Lilizi suddenly stood up from the bench as if she had been electrocuted.

The wet towel wrapped around the girl's body drooped down due to this large movement, exposing one side of her thigh and the plump and round curve clearly to Uesugi Che's vision.

Although Ririko immediately pulled the towel back, this healthy moment is still very profound in her memory.

Uesugi Tetsu raised his hands.

To be honest, he really just wanted to poke Lilizi with his hand to see what funny reaction she would have.

Faced with Lilizi who was hesitant and couldn't utter a complete word for a long time, it was Uesugi Tetsu who sighed first.

"Stop making trouble, Master Lilizi, let's talk about the cultivation of the mind first."

He patted the seat next to him and asked the slightly hesitant girl to sit down.

After taking several deep breaths to suppress her emotions, Ririkko patted her cheeks and put on her usual calm expression. "Uesugi-kun, you've just entered the Mirror Stage, right?"

"That's right." Uesugi Tetsu nodded and simply threw the love of dissociation to Lilizi. "I just arrived and haven't walked too far."

With the external stimulation of dissociative love, Lilizi's heart calmed down a bit. She pondered for a moment and said,

"In that case, let me explain in detail my own path from Mingjing to Bailian."

Uesugi Tetsu wiped the sweat from his chin and said, "I'm all ears."

Lilizi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and after confirming that both hands were within her sight, she said,

"The so-called Hundred Refinements means tempering one's [Heart Embryo] a hundred times, a thousand times, or even more than ten thousand times, making it indomitable and indestructible."

"Forge the embryo of your soul into a piece of steel that reaches its ultimate limit in terms of hardness, toughness, sharpness... in short, in every direction you can sense."

"So," Lilizi said seriously, holding up her red fingers. "The process from Mingjing to Bailian is the process of obtaining a worthwhile [Heart Embryo]."

Uesugi Tetsu frowned and asked, "Let the clear mirror in your heart become a living embryo?"

"Yes. Let this mirror in your heart, which originally could only actively reflect one side, become a living embryo that can constantly reflect everything around you."

Lilizi nodded, but her red face and serious expression made her look quite funny.

embryo...

Uesugi Tetsu was puzzled: "But if it's a living embryo, how can it reflect other people and things like a mirror?"

“—This is the gap between people.”

Lilizi crossed her arms across her chest, causing the white towel to bulge slightly. "Some people's embryos can only reflect the vague outline of a giant object close at hand, while others can clearly illuminate even the antennae of an ant at the end of their sight."

Uesugi Tetsu blinked: "So this is where your outrageous perception ability comes from?"

Lilizi said nothing, but just raised her head with a cat-like mouth, making an expression that said, "Hurry up and praise me."

Of course, Uesugi Tetsu wouldn't praise her. He just thought in his heart that Ririkko in this state was exactly the same as other high school kids of the same age.

What's in your heart is revealed, and you can't hide anything at all.

After a moment, Lilizi turned back hurriedly and poked Uesugi Tetsu's calf with her hot, round toes dripping with water before continuing,

"In short, use external stimulation, self-discipline, or anything else to polish the mirror in your heart until it shines brighter and brighter, and its reflections become farther and farther, and more and more detailed."

"—In this way, the quality of your [Heart Embryo] will be better, and you will be able to go further during the Hundred Refinements later."

[Tokugawa Ririko is teaching you the knowledge of the mindset of Kendo: Mirror of Hundred Refinements and Miscellaneous Talks...]

[Your sword state of mind has slightly improved.]

[The requirements for your Kendo state of mind advancement have been slightly reduced.]

Clap clap clap.

After listening, Uesugi Tetsu was the first to applaud: "Great! Master Lilizi explained it well! He explained it in simple terms! Even a fool like me can understand it!"

"Wow." After hearing this, Lilizi's nose almost turned up to the sky.

"But how exactly should we do that?"

After glancing at a few hints, Uesugi Tetsu decided to ask about the location of the tree planted by his predecessors.

"In my case, it's sword practice."

When it comes to sword practice, everything about Lilizi suddenly calms down.

She and Uesugi Tetsu looked at each other and spoke slowly, each word emphasized, "Practice with your sword with complete concentration. Look for the flaws in every swing, every missing detail, and delve deeply into every inch of your body, mind, and soul, until you reach the end of yourself."

[Tokugawa Ririko is teaching you the knowledge of the Kendo state of mind and the method of polishing the heart embryo...]

[Your sword state of mind has slightly improved.]

Look within and within yourself.

Uesugi Tetsu took note of Lilizi's "polishing method" and thought to himself that it was no wonder that she could easily transform and create a martial arts method that suited her.

I believe it must have a lot to do with this kind of training method.

——After Ririkko’s explanation, Uesugi Tetsu probably understood.

In the stage from clear mirror to refined mirror, the most important thing is to polish the "perception" of the clear mirror in your heart.

After understanding this, whether looking inward or outward, practitioners must always find a method that suits them to hone this perception.

So what method should I use? Should I copy Lilizi's?

Although Uesugi Tetsu thought it was worth a try, he believed that he was not the kind of seeker who put kendo above everything else, and was far from being as pure as Ririkko.

Perhaps he has to find a suitable method himself.

Uesugi Che pondered for a long time and shook his head. He didn't have much experience, so he didn't have a good idea about this for the time being.

If he still can't find it, then he can only use the will attribute to force a numerical crush and breakthrough.

Glancing at Ririko who had been staring at him quietly without saying a word, Uesugi Tetsu smiled, placed his fingers on the Love of Separation, and closed his eyes.

For now, let’s temper our will with dissociative love and the high temperature of the sauna.

……

An hour and a half later.

[After being tempered by "Dissociative Love", your Willpower attribute increases by +1!]

Putting away his dissociative love, Uesugi Tetsu walked out of the sauna feeling refreshed.

Lilizi, who had put the pendant back on in a very short time, turned around and threw a new towel at him: "Wipe it off."

"Thanks."

After taking the towel, Uesugi Tetsu went to the other side to change his clothes, then he and Ririko walked out of the bathing and sauna area one after another and returned to the dojo on the first floor.

Nishaku-sama, who was waving his little fist to tickle the samurai Zancemaru, turned around and saw the two people who were also in high spirits and their blushes had not yet completely faded.

Lord Erchi took a deep breath, turned back stiffly, and pretended not to see anything.

——Today, Lord Che promised to buy me a mobile phone, so I will just let him go for now!

——When I get a cell phone in the future, I will definitely study the internet to learn a hundred strategies on how to defeat the flat-chested devil!

"drink!"

After an angry shout, a small fist about a quarter the size of a sandbag hit the samurai Zhan Cemaru with all its strength.

Samurai Zancemaru uttered a sound of approval: "Three hundred and eighty-two kan~ That's your most powerful strike yet, Miss Nishaku."

After hearing this, Erchi's face fell.

——She knew very well that Lilizi, who swung the sword here every day, could earn two to three thousand strings of cash with just one strike. Even if she closed her eyes and stood still while swinging the sword in the air, she could earn at least four to five hundred strings of cash.

Quack, quack, quack! I only have one tenth of her strength! Wouldn't that mean she, a two-foot-tall lady, would have to be inferior to the flat-chested demon king for the rest of her life?

“Nooooooooooooooo!!!”

Ershaku-sama roared, and her fists rained down like raindrops, forcing the warrior Zhan Cemaru to casually report numbers around two to three hundred, bombarding her self-confidence.

Finally, with the understated voice of "one hundred and seventy-two strings of cash", Erchisama collapsed to the ground.

She burned out.

Lilizi, who was about to pick up the bamboo sword and walk over, poked Uesugi Tetsu's shoulder and said, "Hey, is there something wrong with your Shikigami?"
