In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

But before Uesugi Tetsu took a step, he heard someone shouting his name in the parking lot not far away.

Judging from their voices, there are still two of them, one big and one small. The smaller one is a boy, and his voice is obviously still very immature and has not yet developed.

"Sister Xing, this match is a one-on-three round-robin match. Uesugi Che from the Special Affairs Department is fighting alone against three disciples from Longyuetang... Who do you think will win?"

The female voice, which was much more mature by comparison, answered without hesitation: "Uesugi Tetsu."

Uesugi Tetsu heard the woman's voice and said with gritted teeth,

"——Is there even any need to think about it? Of course, Uesugi Tetsu loses!"

Just by listening to this sentence, he could clearly feel the hatred the owner of the voice had towards "Uesugi Tetsu".

Uesugi Che blinked in confusion, wondering when he had offended someone again?

These days, I've either been traveling or immersed in the ordinary world, dealing with people from the Warring States Period hundreds of years ago. How could I possibly provoke other people?

So Uesugi Toru looked at him with confusion.

Not far away, a girl with no makeup on and wearing a high ponytail, a white sweatshirt and simple jeans was walking towards here with a pair of long, white, glowing legs.

She was also holding the hand of a short-haired boy who looked energetic and extraordinary.

In two seconds, a girl with a high ponytail who looked like she had just skipped classes at a university walked up to Uesugi Tetsu and gave him a bright smile.

"Hello, are you here to watch the game?"

Uesugi Tetsu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "You too?"

"Oh, that's great! Can I ask for directions?"

The girl chuckled a little embarrassedly.

Before Uesugi Tetsu could answer, her eyes were immediately attracted by the two-foot-tall man who was being led by him, wearing a small white hat and with finely sculpted features.

"Wow! So small and cute!"

The girl immediately let go of the hand of the boy she brought with her, squatted down, reached out and gently pinched the little face of the two-foot-tall boy.

Now Erchisama's words were filled with a gurgling sound: "This beautiful sister... I don't think we are very familiar with each other."

The boy standing behind helplessly covered his forehead, put his hand on the girl's shoulders and pulled her back.

"Sister Xing, you have to keep a distance from strangers, a distance!"

After pulling the girl back, the boy, who was only about two feet tall, bowed apologetically and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, but my teacher's outgoing personality is something I can't change. I hope you can forgive me."

"No, that's all right."

Uesugi Che could clearly feel the sharp energy coming from the boy and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This boy's state of mind is actually the same as his own, about the level of man and sword becoming one and clear as a mirror.

It's just that I have learned an extra skill called "Skill of Zanshin", which makes me just one step ahead of him in terms of spirit.

But the girl he called teacher looked like just an ordinary female college student in every way...

After a moment's thought, Uesugi Tetsu said, "Didn't you just ask for directions? Just follow me."

The boy nodded slightly with his eyes closed, and the girl straightened her ponytail, stood up again, and gave him a thumbs-up.

"Thank you, handsome boy."

Next, the four of them, two adults and two children, followed the crow controlled by Crow Tori Shigure and walked towards the main gate of Longyue Hall in twists and turns.

Halfway through the walk, the girl couldn't help but complain, "What's this Longyuetang doing when they're full? Why did they make the entrance so complicated? It's almost dizzying."

When the crow flying in front heard this, its wings froze and it almost fell to the ground, but even so it did not look back.

She muttered, "But how do you know the way here, handsome boy? Did you use the map?"

Uesugi Che pointed at the crow in front and said, "I just asked the crow standing at the door. This crow is very nice. He always answers questions and always shows me the way."

"Oh? Can crows also be born with intelligence?"

The girl who had been looking around finally fixed her eyes on "Crow Duck Shigure".

She smiled and said, "I've long heard that Longyuetang is very capable of raising spirit beasts. Now that I see it, it's indeed extraordinary."

Walking through the huge but deserted dojo on the surface, the two adults, holding their "children" and following the crows, walked towards the underground passage that had not yet been closed.

The underground passage is very long and narrow and monotonous, with nothing but stone slabs.

So Uesugi Tetsu could always hear the girl next to him, sometimes mumbling something to herself, and sometimes chatting with the boy she was holding hands with.

Uesugi Tetsu wanted to ignore it directly until he heard the girl say secretly -

"Hehe, in a couple of days I'm going to see that Uesugi Tetsu get severely beaten up! That'll make me feel better!"

Uesugi Che's brows twitched slightly.

What kind of hatred or grudge is this? Why are they starting to act on the "curse level" without even meeting each other?

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did that contestant named Uesugi Tetsu do something bad?"

After hearing this, the girl put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Bad! This kid is so bad!"

"—It's been so long, and I haven't even gotten to see my beloved, adorable little sister! And now there's news that this bastard has seduced her away!"

"What a dog! It's such a dog!"

She raised her eyebrows and stared at Shangshan Che seriously. She couldn't help but clench her fists. "When I see Shangshan Che again, I will definitely beat him up first... It's his fault for stretching his claws to Lilizi!"

Uesugi Tetsu showed his curiosity at the right moment: "May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, sorry."

She stuck out her tongue slightly.

"I almost forgot to introduce myself—my name is Tokugawa Hoshi, and I'm one of the notaries for this joint trial between the Special Affairs Office and the Oborozuki-do Shinken."

Tokugawa Xing paused, then added, "As for what happened just now, I heard that contestant Uesugi Tetsu seduced my beloved little sister Tokugawa Ririko, so I'm a little upset."

Tokugawa, Star?

When Uesugi Tetsu heard this name, he immediately became energetic.

——Isn’t this Lilizi’s third sister who has already entered the realm of ghosts and gods!

——No wonder he couldn’t see the other party’s strength. It turned out that the gap in strength between the two sides was too big.

"Come to think of it, I haven't asked you your name yet, handsome boy."

Tokugawa Xing winked at him.

my name?

Uesugi Tetsu subconsciously held his breath and was sweating profusely in an instant.

What would happen if I said “My name is Uesugi Tetsu” in this situation?

I'm afraid that Tokugawa Hoshi, who is angry, will slap him into the wall on the spot.

"My name is..."

He blinked frantically and stroked his chin as if he was thinking. The CPU was running at high speed in this short period of time.

After an extremely long second, Uesugi Tetsu pretended to be extremely calm and shook his head: "Sorry, I'm an agent from the Special Affairs Department, so it may not be convenient for me to reveal my name."

"oh oh!"

Tokugawa Xing nodded after hearing this. She made a cross with her fingers in front of her lips and said, "I understand this! As an agent, even speaking your name might result in you being cursed. I understand, I understand. I won't make it difficult for you."

Crow Crow Shigure, who had been flapping his wings in front, could only flap his sore wings and listen to the meaningless conversation between the two people behind him.

Of course he was impatient, but what was the use of being impatient?

If the Tokugawa Star behind him did not exist, Crow Tori Shigure would dare to quit without saying a word, sever the connection with the crow and do his own thing.

But who is Tokugawa Xing... He is at the same level as his master, or even higher.

If he didn't treat her well, it would be a small matter that this real sword test couldn't go on - even his own life might be in danger.

In the dark stone chamber, Crow Tori Shigure sighed silently.

There is no way. The weak have no say in front of the strong from beginning to end.

"Um, Ms. Tokugawa?" Uesugi Tetsu pointed at the crows flying lower and lower in front of him and said, "Why don't we keep walking? I think flying is getting pretty tiring."

"That makes sense."

After the little episode about the name, the group's pace became much faster - mainly because Uesugi Tetsu quickened his pace.

Soon, led by the crow that had already started trotting on the ground, Uesugi Che arrived at the basement of the Longyuetang Dojo.

In other words, in the real Longyuetang Dojo.

After leaving the passage and walking into it, the "sense of life" given to Uesugi Che by the surroundings became stronger.

He looked around - the first hall at the exit of the passage was still very modern, but there was an antique wooden sign next to it that was incompatible with the style.

The road signs have place names like "arena" and "training ground" written on them, and also indicate the directions.

"Gah."

A crow called softly up ahead, then staggered towards the "reception area".

The first place Crow Duck Shigure went to was Tokugawa Hoshi's residence.

——This is understandable. How can an opponent who will be defeated in two days be compared with a notary public of the ghostly level be compared with him?

“Is this where I live?”

Arriving in front of the wooden door that had a touch of the last century, Tokugawa Xing waved goodbye to Crowdori Shigure who was standing beside him: "Thank you, Mr. Crow."

Then, she looked at Shangshan Che with a smile and said meaningfully,

"Well, Mr. Special Agent from the Special Affairs Department, see you later?"

Uesugi Tetsu, who had originally intended to slip away without saying a word after the other party closed the door, laughed heartily and forced a smile: "See you later, Ms. Tokugawa."

pat.

Tokugawa Xing took the boy into the dormitory and closed the door.

Uesugi Tetsu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Kaguya Shigure and shook his phone: "Thank you for your hard work. You won't be leading the way from now on. See you at the real sword test in two days."

"Gah."

The crow cried out in annoyance, flapped its wings that had been resting for a long time, and flew out quickly.

After the crow flew completely out of sight, Uesugi Tetsu turned his attention to Nishaku-sama, who had been laughing loudly in the "Heartstring Channel" since just now.

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, "Master Che, instead of settling accounts with me, you might as well leave here first. Who knows if this door will suddenly open again."

Uesugi Tetsu thought this made sense, so without saying a word, he pulled Nishaku-sama towards the meeting place sent by Nanjo Aimi.

The "assembly room" sent by Nanjo Aimi was not too far from Tokugawa Hoshi's residence, and it took Uesugi Tetsu three minutes to get there.

He was about to look at the house numbers one by one when he suddenly saw a familiar-looking girl walking past him with a water cup.

Uesugi Che was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to stop the other party: "Wait..."

Hattori Ayako, who was about to get a glass of water, paused and looked back. She was confused at first, then frowned and thought.

Finally, she showed a surprised expression: "It's you, Uesugi-kun!"

Hattori Ayako grabbed his sleeves with both hands and said, "Uesugi-kun, I haven't thanked you properly for the life-saving matter!"

Only after she said this did the relevant memories emerge from Uesugi Tetsu's mind.

——Oh, I met her on that everlasting train when I was doing the mission to unlock the Ruzuki Station area.

——Later, before meeting Nue of the Demon Sword Society, he met Hattori Ayako once, and she provided a lot of information.

But isn’t she an ordinary person? How did she come to the underground of Longyue Hall?

"Ms. Hattori…."

Uesugi Tetsu asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

After hearing this, Hattori Ayako was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "As an A-level seed in the Arakawa District, I followed Nanjo Daizu to watch the real sword test after learning."

As if she was afraid that Uesugi Tetsu wouldn't understand or would continue to ask questions, she pointed to the deep dark blue mark extending from her armpit to her neck.

"I was rated A-rank because I accidentally contracted a three-star Shikigami."
