In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

The red-purple thunder came down with a loud bang, blasting the sickly ghost into pieces in an instant!

Uesugi Tetsu spoke, calling Imagawa Yoshimoto back to his senses, "Master Imagawa, Tetsu has exorcised this consumptive demon."

Several prompts suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.

[You killed the Sickly Ghost (260-star) and gained Soul Ashes!]

[Your skill, Five Thunder Method: Qi Combination Proficiency +70!]

[Your skill, Five Thunder Method: Qi He, has reached the proficient level!]

【You have obtained a broken token.】

[The current level of influence of the world's journey on history: 0.15% → 0.35%!]

[Your Late Muromachi Period/Warring States Period reputation +500! ]

"it is good!"

Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately nodded, and the cold expression on his face disappeared.

She laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Che's methods are truly extraordinary! They have truly opened the eyes of Yiyuan and everyone present!"

Hearing the details of the change in how Imagawa Yoshimoto addressed him, Uesugi Tetsu also smiled and bowed, and also changed his address.

"Lord Yiyuan is too kind. Today's method is just a small trick."

Imagawa Yoshimoto was extremely happy to accept the envious, solemn, jealous and fearful gazes from all around him.

She took two steps closer to Uesugi Tetsu, wanting to pat his shoulder to show her closeness.

But when the head of the Imagawa family raised her hand, she blinked and found that her height seemed not enough to support her to do this action.

Seeing this, Uesugi Tetsu squatted down slightly without leaving any trace, causing Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was also standing on tiptoe, to cough twice a little embarrassedly after patting his shoulder.

The girl had already adjusted her expression when she turned around.

She raised her arms with a smile towards her retainers, allies, enemies, and future enemies: "Don't forget, everyone, the coming-of-age ceremony has not yet begun!"

After these words were spoken, many people suddenly remembered that the protagonist of today seemed to be the silent Takechiyo who had been sitting in the Imperial Hall until now.

After hearing this, Takechiyo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stretched her legs which were almost numb.

He glanced at the handsome young man wearing a palace official's robe and holding a folding fan, and remembered this face forever in his heart.

There was nothing more to do with Uesugi Tetsu after that.

Imagawa Yoshimoto returned to the carpet and walked into the Imperial Palace.

Under the gaze of everyone, she put the "ebohashi", a symbol of adulthood, on Takechiyo, indicating that he had left his childhood.

"As for your name, I'll give you 'Yuankang'!"

Immediately afterwards, Imagawa Yoshimoto directly granted Takechiyo, who had changed his name to "Matsudaira Motoyasu", the title of "Mikawa-no-kami" - the title of ruler of the Mikawa region.

With Matsudaira Motoyasu's thanks, the coming-of-age ceremony officially ended.

Those warriors from other countries who originally wanted to win over and get to know Uesugi Tetsu all left as quickly as possible with gloomy faces, without saying even a word to him.

Because based on what was said before the coming-of-age ceremony, it can be almost confirmed that this Onmyoji Che has nothing to do with them anymore.

In this case, we might as well quickly bring today's important news back to our lord.

Before today, few people believed that Onmyoji really existed, and no one thought that Onmyoji could possess such powerful power.

And after today, the wheel of history has quietly changed direction a little.

Even if it's insignificant.

……

The coming-of-age ceremony ended and everyone dispersed.

Uesugi Tetsu and Shiraishi were told to stay in a side hall and wait for a while.

Shiraishi, who was eating a cake he had never seen before, poked Uesugi Tetsu's waist and said, "Boss, what did you see after the lightning was released? Why can't I see it?"

Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts were interrupted, and he asked in confusion, "You said you didn't see it..."

However, before he could finish his words, Imagawa Yoshimoto, still wearing his twelve-piece robe, appeared at the door.

He had no choice but to interrupt his words and look at Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had a smile on his lips.

"Lord Yoshimoto."

"Mr. Che, and this... Bai Shi, please follow me."

The girl nodded to both of them.

Uesugi Tetsu responded, and Shiraishi put all the uneaten pastries on the small plate into his pocket, then hurriedly followed.

Soon, the two followed Imagawa Yoshimoto to a quiet living room.

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was about to speak, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was standing in front of him, replied as if he had predicted it: "This is my daily residence. I only use it to entertain important guests."

Then, Uesugi Toru walked into the living room.

Then he saw Taiyuan Xuezhai, who was already sitting at a wooden table, looking very energetic.

He immediately stood up after seeing Uesugi Che, then bowed slightly to express his gratitude: "I will remember Mr. Che's kindness today."

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head: "No need to do that, it's just a small favor."

Taiyuan Xuezhai laughed after hearing this. He looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto who was standing next to Uesugi Tetsu and said, "You should know that I'm not just talking about myself."

He sat down and pushed the cup of tea he had just brewed over.

Uesugi Tetsu did not refuse and immediately sat down and drank the hot tea.

Seeing this, Taiyuan Xuezhai also raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He said, "Mr. Che is indeed as Lord Yiyuan said. His manners are delicate, but his heart is heroic!"

What kind of review is this...

Uesugi Tetsu looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was already sitting opposite him, and after a pause, he asked, "Lord Yoshimoto asked me to come here at this time, so he must have something important to ask."

"Mr. Che is wise."

Imagawa Yoshimoto pursed his lips,

"Regarding what you said earlier, that the teacher could live for more than ten years under your careful care..."

"is fake."

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head before he finished listening: "Your Excellency Taiyuan has been haunted by that consumptive ghost for at least ten months. Over time, his energy and spirit have been depleted. This is irreversible.

Ten years or something like that, that's just a lie I used to deceive outsiders."

Imagawa Yoshimoto lowered his eyes and couldn't help showing a look of disappointment.

"But if you rest as much as possible," Uesugi Tetsu continued, "your life will be safe for at least a year."

One year.

A gleam appeared in Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes again - this was much more than what Taiyuan Xuezhai had said to her a few days ago, that it would only take a few weeks at most.

She clenched her fists, her cheeks puffed up, and she let out a silent breath: "Teacher, can you please leave for a moment?"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Tetsu patted Shiraishi's knee under the table, and the latter ran out the door without saying a word.

He was worried that he couldn't eat sweet pastries.

In a flash, only Uesugi Tetsu and Imagawa Yoshimoto were left in the quiet room.

Silence quietly spread.

Imagawa Yoshimoto rubbed his fingertips, which was a rare occurrence.

She was wondering what opening words she should say to touch Uesugi Tetsu's heart, so that he would willingly bow down and become her retainer...

Wait, that's not right.

This idea seems to be fundamentally wrong.

——Che is the one and only Onmyoji in the world. If he leaves Imagawa-kan after today, he will be fiercely sought after by all the daimyo.

And if you want to recruit him, you will definitely have to pay a price that is completely different from recruiting anyone else.

In the silence, Imagawa Yoshimoto looked directly at him, and then spoke in a very concise and powerful voice.

"Mr. Che, please become my retainer, Imagawa Yoshimoto."

Uesugi Tetsu stopped tapping his knees.

He knew that Imagawa Yoshimoto was probably thinking about what to say, but he didn't expect her to say these words to him right away.

This is no different from a man and a woman who are still in an ambiguous period meeting each other, and the first sentence the woman says to the man when they meet offline is "I like you, go out with me."

If someone else said this, it would undoubtedly end the topic.

But Imagawa Yoshimoto is different.

She smiled faintly: "Although I say I'm a retainer, Mr. Che, you don't need to treat me as a retainer, nor do you need to express any loyalty to me."

Imagawa Yoshimoto placed her hands on her knees, her eyes bright and passionate, as if the whole world had been grasped in her hands:

"I will only cooperate with you, Mr. Che. You help me become a worldly person, and I will use everything in the Imagawa family to protect you, help you practice, and spread your reputation..."

She stood up, and the shadow of her twelve-piece dress blocked the light from behind her.

"And after I become the ruler of the world, whether you want to rise up from below, leave Imagawa and establish your own faction, or let me bow down to you, Mr. Che, and let you take this achievement into your own hands, these are all completely feasible options!"

"It's all up to you."

"Of course!"

Imagawa Yoshimoto put his hands on the wooden table and knocked over the teacup. She leaned forward nonchalantly, and her nose almost bumped with Uesugi Tetsu's.

The hot breath hit Uesugi Tetsu's face, and the girl spoke word by word,

"——But Mr. Che, you won't do these things in the future."

Uesugi Tetsu's expression was calm: "Why do you think so?"

"—Because I'm Imagawa Yoshimoto."

Imagawa Yoshimoto stretched out his finger and gently lifted Uesugi Tetsu's chin, allowing him to clearly see the thoughts surging in his heart through his eyes.

The black-haired girl, who believed that she would become the most powerful person in the world in the future, smiled.

"Because I am, Imagawa Yoshimoto."

Uesugi Tetsu sighed helplessly, raised his hand and held Imagawa Yoshimoto's hand.

He sighed, "Lord Yoshimoto, I think you are no worse than Oda Nobunaga. Apart from being overconfident and arrogant, I can't see any flaws in you."

Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had not expected that he would be compared with that big fool from Owari, was slightly stunned and looked surprised.

Then, she felt the man in front of her solemnly clench his hand.

So hard.

When Imagawa Yoshimoto heard him speak, it was as if he heard the riveting sound of the gears of fate.

"In that case, please allow me to be loyal to you for the time being."

"Lord Yoshimoto."

In the quiet and secluded Imagawa House, the girl in twelve-piece unlined robes let out a long sigh of relief and sat down.
