In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Uesugi Tetsu clicked on the top entry, entered the detailed encyclopedia page, and silently scanned it word by word.

By clicking in, Uesugi Tetsu can see that Imagawa Yoshimoto was still defeated in Okehazama and was defeated by the army led by Oda Nobunaga.

The Imagawa clan was then destroyed and divided up by its former allies and subordinates, and was then replaced by the Tokugawa clan of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

After the Battle of Okehazama, history seemed to have not changed much.

"In the second year of the Hongzhi reign..."

Uesugi Tetsu muttered the time and then found his target.

There are only two lines of text.

In 1556 (the second year of the Koji era), during a coming-of-age ceremony for Takechiyo (later Tokugawa Ieyasu) at Sunpu Castle, a man named "Che" performed thunder magic to exorcise evil spirits, becoming famous in Tōkaidō for a time.

【After that, Yiren Che suddenly disappeared, and Imagawa Yoshimoto stayed indoors for half a month without going out.】

After that, it was the history that remained unchanged, such as Imagawa Yoshimoto suppressing the Mikawa Rebellion and Taihara Yukisai's death.

Uesugi Che stared at the four words "suddenly disappeared" and thought for a while.

If I really disappeared from Imagawa Yoshimoto's sight for no reason, she would probably be worried for a while and then send someone to look for me.

Uesugi Che flipped through the encyclopedia for a while, and after confirming that he had not found the third change, he turned off his phone and looked at the bloody key of history in his storage backpack that was still waiting to be used.

Fortunately, the story is only temporary and far from over.

And when all the things in this world come to a temporary end, I will surely become stronger than I am now.

Uesugi Tetsu calmed down a little, listened to the repeated broadcast from the mechanical female voice next to his ear, then stood up and called Ershaku-sama to the car door.

We have arrived in Yokohama.

……

Uesugi Tetsu and Nishaku-sama, who had no luggage and were not overly humble, were still the first to get off the train.

It was almost as if they all reached the escalator before the Shinkansen behind them slowly and silently emerged from the crowded crowd.

Uesugi Che withdrew his gaze, thinking that the escalator would probably be crowded soon.

He had just walked out of the crowded station hall with Nishaku-sama and was about to ask Shizuma Manatsu where the Oborogetsu-do was located on Line.

Then, Uesugi Tetsu actually saw Nanjo Aimi leaning against the door and smoking at the station exit.

Even if the other person was about a hundred meters away from him, or even before he turned around, Uesugi Che could recognize him at a glance.

Because he was too familiar with this back view.

As for why Nanjo Aimi could smoke in public and passers-by would ignore her, it was naturally because she used Yin-Yang magic which could have the effect of a "life hack".

Previously, when Nanjo Aimi was sitting in a barbecue restaurant eating barbecue without being recognized, she also used the Yin-Yang technique of cognitive impairment.

Although this type of Yin-Yang magic can do all kinds of strange things, its effects are usually weak and only work on ordinary people.

"I remember Manatsu said Nanjo-san was sleeping in the car."

Uesugi Tetsu pulled Nishaku-sama, who was licking the ice cream he had just bought at the station, and blinked in confusion: "They arrived so quickly? And they even locked onto my location?"

On the way there, Uesugi Che couldn't figure it out, and could only attribute it to the heavy hand of the Special Affairs Office.

After all, for Nanjo Aimi, this information is just a matter of moving her fingers or talking.

Leading Ershaku-sama out of the station, Uesugi Tetsu paused and looked at Nanjo Aimi who had just finished smoking a cigarette.

He suddenly closed his mouth and swallowed back what he was about to say.

The latter raised his head and responded indifferently: "Long time no see, Uesugi-kun."

Uesugi Tetsu did not answer, but pretended to take out the demon essence from his pocket and prepared to hand it to Lord Nishaku.

——This is also the reason why I promised her to buy such expensive ice cream at the station.

“It’s strawberry flavored?”

Uesugi Tetsu exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect that such an indescribable lump of meat could emit a faint strawberry fragrance.

He placed the sticky meat ball in the hands of the girl who was clearly showing resistance: "Er Chi, this is for you to eat. Eating it all can speed up your promotion."

"Hmm..."

The two-foot-tall master quickly moved his hand away.

If Lord Che hadn't just said that, she would have thrown it into the grass by the roadside, the sewer, or the trash can without saying a word.

But soon, Lord Erchi was surprised to find that the meat ball in his hand did not have any fishy smell at all.

Instead, it was like the strawberry jelly she had just eaten—the only difference was that the jelly was at room temperature, while the meat ball in her hand was chilled.

When Uesugi Tetsu saw Nishaku-sama move the demon essence in front of him and began to prepare himself mentally to eat it, he turned around and fixed his gaze on Nanjo Aimi in front of him.

To be more precise, it is "Nanjo Aimi".

Because, the person standing in front of him was a pretender who looked exactly like Nanjo Aimi, wore the same work clothes, and even did some of the same little daily movements.

He just stared at "Nanjo Aimi" quietly without saying a word, ready to draw his sword at any time.

The latter couldn't stand being stared at anymore. He tutted and threw the remaining box of mint cigarettes in his pocket over to him: "How did you find out?"

Hearing the tone that was neither nervous nor murderous, Uesugi Tetsu narrowed his eyes and searched his memory for a while before confirming a name.

——"Chihaya Kuzuha".

The second disciple of Longyuetang, and also his strongest opponent in this real sword test based on paper data. He is particularly good at transformation, disguise, stealth and assassination.

"—Because you don't have the aura of a strong person."

Uesugi Tetsu replied calmly, "If you disguised yourself as someone else, such as Shizuma Manatsu or an ordinary staff member, you might be able to fool me, but not Nanjo Aimi."

He stared at the woman lost in thought and pointed out, "This is something so obvious that you'll understand it if you spend ten days or half a month with her in person."

"Going into battle without doing proper research... this is truly a loss of a grown-up~"

Chihaya Kuzuba sighed, and somehow she changed from the appearance of "Nanjo Aimi" back to herself in front of Uesugi Tetsu.

Her soft golden hair fell over a very eye-catching evening gown.

Chihaya Kuzuba smiled cheerfully at him, "I take it back. Uesugi-kun, you're quite interesting, after all."

As soon as she finished speaking, a slender white snake, spitting out its tongue, slowly emerged from the gap in her dress at her chest, staring coldly at Uesugi Che with its pair of scarlet vertical pupils.

"Humph!"

Ershaku-sama, with his mouth full of food, stood in front of Uesugi Che and glared back at the white snake without showing any sign of being outdone.

Seeing her like this, Kuzuba Chihaya burst into laughter and couldn't help but cover her stomach. "Hahaha, is this your Shikigami, Uesugi-kun? Such a small and cute one?"

"I will also give you this sentence."

Uesugi Che raised his eyes without showing any extra expression.

This woman... was undoubtedly here to test and intimidate me before the war.

Although he didn't know how Kuzuba Chihaya knew his itinerary, he didn't need to be overly nice to her anyway.

even.

Uesugi Tetsu remembered what Nanjo Aimi had told him before.

——If Geye Chihaya confirmed that she really had no strength, she might try to end the real sword test outside the field in advance.

Perhaps this was the reason why she turned into Nanjo Aimi just now.

Chihaya Kuzuba didn't care at all about Uesugi Tetsu's cold expression.

"Uesugi-kun, I actually quite like your face and figure."

She licked her lips, bent down to reveal her deep, white cleavage, and waved the LINE QR code on her phone towards Uesugi Che, and asked softly,

"So, how about adding a line now? Before we try to work together, we can have a battle somewhere and have a deep conversation?"

Uesugi Tetsu felt a slight ripple on the surface of his clear mind and waved his hand calmly: "No need."

You think you can charm me with this little trick? Who are you looking down on?

Geye Chihaya was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Uesugi Tetsu to refuse so decisively... It seems that his mental cultivation is not weak.

And at this age, you can have such a state of mind.

She silently raised the danger level of Uesugi Tetsu in her mind.

Then, as if performing magic, Chihaya Kuzuha took out a pair of car keys that looked very expensive and waved them in front of Uesugi Tetsu.

"Uesugi-kun, would you like to come with me? Oborogetsu-do is hard to find."

Faced with Chihaya Kuzuba's repeated entanglement, Uesugi Tetsu finally couldn't help but open his phone and clicked on the location that Shizuma Manatsu had just sent. He frowned and said,

"——Don't underestimate the power of technology, big sister!"

Big, big sister?!

Geye Chihaya's brows twitched, and she snorted at him, "I'm only 26, you idiot! Why are you calling me big sister?"

"I'm only eighteen. Isn't it normal to call you a twenty-six-year-old sister?"

Uesugi Tetsu asked back, "Or do you think I should call you old aunt or grandma?"

Kuzuya Chihaya's chest heaved with anger, and even the white snake's eyes became fierce.

She laughed coldly twice. "Okay, very good, Uesugi Che. I want to see if you can still say these words when I step on you in the ring."

After saying that, Geye Chihaya snorted coldly, turned around and walked away with the car keys.

After a while, a big red supercar deliberately spun past Uesugi Che's eyes, raising a cloud of dust and roaring away into the distance.

Uesugi Tetsu, who knew nothing about cars, didn't care much. Instead, he looked at the top of Ershaku-sama's head, wanting to see if she had changed after eating the demon essence.

Uesugi Che's eyes lit up.

A shining buff actually appeared above Erchisama's head.

[Promotion Acceleration: In the next month, the promotion speed of the Eight-foot Woman will be increased by an additional 30%.]

It directly cuts off about one third of the promotion time. The effect of this demon essence is indeed quite good.

Moreover, Lord Erchi was still licking his fingers after eating it, which shows that the taste of this demon essence that looks like a meat ball is very good.

Lady Erchi was also watching the red supercar speeding away. She lifted the brim of her hat, stared at the sun in the sky, and asked, "Lord Che, how do we get there?"

She pointed to the distance shown on her phone, which was about forty or fifty kilometers.

"Of course it's the subway and the bus." Uesugi Tetsu patted her head and said earnestly, "Although we don't have to worry about money for the time being, we still need to learn to be frugal, Nishaku-sama."

Erchisama understood that this meant that he was unwilling to spend extra money on a taxi.

"Yeah! Master Che is awesome!"

She gave Uesugi Tetsu a thumbs-up, then quickly slipped back into the Ksitigarbha statue to enjoy the cool air.

Uesugi Che saw that the two-foot-sama, who had agreed with his mouth but was very honest with his body, suddenly disappeared from his sight, and shook his head helplessly.

He glanced at the crows standing on the dark power lines in the distance and walked towards the nearest subway station on the map.

……

At the same time, in front of the Longyuetang Dojo.

The van, which had been repaired and modified countless times, slowly stopped and crawled into a parking lot that was so empty that there were only a few cars parked. After a strange rumbling sound, the engine was turned off.

There were sounds of doors opening one after another, and people jumped out of the overloaded van one after another.

After driving for several hours, Shizuma Manatsu yawned, stuffed the car keys into the inner pocket, and made sure she had zipped up her car before getting out of the car to open the passenger door.

Akechi Youya looked at the huge dojo standing on the ground in front of him, and subconsciously exclaimed in amazement. He felt a little itchy when holding the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Wearing a hood and a mask, Ririko got out of the car silently.

She first glanced at the unusually large number of crows around her inconspicuously, then looked up at the sky silently with her eyes slightly narrowed.

Makiye Hitomi took the nervous Hattori Ayako out of the car.

He also didn't say anything, but just stared at the crows silently after observing the environment.

The latter looked very honest, with his head down and scrolling through his phone aimlessly, seeming very nervous.

Only Nu Nu and three Special Affairs Department agents in the trunk were still holding their cell phones, oblivious to what was happening outside. The expressions of all four of them were very serious.

Nanjo Aimi, who had just woken up and was still rubbing her eyes, had just opened the trunk when a "serious" conversation began to emanate:
