In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Deep inside Longyue Hall, in a deep, dark room.

Pulling his gaze away from the stone crows beside the small training ground, Shigure felt a wave of intense nausea.

"I still feel sick after so many times. Can't my body adapt to it?"

Xiao Yuelan, who was polishing a pale bone dagger, raised her eyes lazily and said, "Then why don't you ask Master to transform you into a gargoyle?"

Crowstalker Shigure was too lazy to answer such a stupid question. He just said, "But at least I learned something."

He whispered, "The shikigami that has been following Uesugi Tetsu is confirmed to be quite strong, and his abilities are somewhat strange and bizarre."

Crowdstalker Shigure thought back and speculated, "Perhaps it's a spatial ability that allows objects to appear out of thin air. And judging by its appearance, that shikigami is most likely the urban legend 'Yashika-sama', though it seems to have undergone a unique mutation."

"Anyway."

He flipped open the densely packed notes about "Uesugi Tetsu" and concluded,

"Uesugi Tetsu should be more reliant on Shikigami, but he has also demonstrated strong physical abilities before. The information also states that his Corona Breathing and Natural Rishin Flow are also quite strong."

Crow Duck Shigure closed his eyes and threw the notebook to the creeping shadow beside him.

Soon, a creepy chewing sound was heard, and the entire notebook disappeared.

"—I judged that he was using his shikigami as a vanguard to draw the enemy's fire, while I waited for an opportunity to strike. Although his Yin-Yang technique was relatively weak, his mental state was well-cultivated. Ordinary mental illusions should have no effect on him."

Xiao Yuelan gently placed her index finger on the bone dagger, then withdrew it after seeing a bloody mark appear on the surface of the motionless fingertip.

"Speak the key."

"If you want to deal with him, you can divide the battlefield and attack the vital points. But don't reveal too many flaws, or he might be killed by a hidden attack."

After hearing this, Xiao Yuelan jumped down from the rock she was sitting on, startling the crows that were gathered in groups on the ground and making them fly towards the rock walls on both sides.

"Thanks for the information, little crow."

She pulled out a card from the lining of her chest and threw it over: "Tonight's hunting target has been arranged. Remember not to let Senior Sister interrupt my digestion exercise."

After Xiao Yuelan finished speaking, she merged into the darkness like a pool of liquid, making her once again feel the phantom pain faintly coming from all over her body.

She thought indifferently:

——How could it be a mere flower that was carefully nurtured and raised in the greenhouse of the Special Affairs Office, more powerful than those who walk on the edge of life and death every day hunting demons?

Special Affairs Office, stop looking down on people.

……

On the other hand, before training, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly received a message on Line from Nanjo Aimi asking him to go to the gathering room again.

He didn't say what he was going to do specifically, just asked him to come over quickly.

Faced with Nanjo-san's rare request, he naturally would not refuse.

When he arrived at the assembly room, Uesugi Tetsu was about to knock on the door when he found that it was ajar and not closed.

So he didn't knock on the door, but walked in directly, and saw Nanjo Aimi still sitting on the sofa in the gathering room, and...

Uesugi Tetsu turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a burly figure and strong muscles. He was wearing a black and white short haori and had an unshaven beard on his chin. He looked very rough.

Uesugi Tetsu's pupils shrank slightly as he felt the surging spiritual power like a tide from the burly man.

The spiritual power that escaped from it alone was at least ten times greater than his own.

Strong, very strong!

This man is a ghost-level person even without any meaning!

And judging from the fluctuations of his spiritual power, he is most likely a great Onmyoji!

Before Uesugi Tetsu could speak, he saw the man raise his eyebrows and asked to the side: "Nanjo, is this the genius you mentioned?"

Nanjo Aimi said calmly: "How is it?"

After the two of them talked, Uesugi Tetsu understood the purpose of Nanjo Aimi calling him over.

This is to make him familiar to the great Onmyoji, which is equivalent to helping him make future connections in advance.

He shifted his gaze to Nanjo Aimi's expressionless face.

Nanjo-sister, why are you so nice to me...

Kujo Shingo, who also came to Oborozukido as one of the notaries, looked Uesugi Tetsu up and down and commented,

"Miaozi is indeed very good, but she's not as talented as you say, Nanjo."

Kujo Shingo shook his head. "A once-in-a-millennium chance is too unrealistic. In my opinion, this Uesugi-kun's future achievements should be similar to mine, or even higher."

——It is undoubtedly a great honor to have a ghost-level figure personally say that you will definitely reach the ghost-level or even higher in the future.

But Nanjo Aimi smiled.

"Then please remember today's thoughts before you leave, Lord Kujo, and wait for time to pass."

She said to Kujo Shingo, "Time will tell."

Kujo Shingo stared at Uesugi Tetsu for a while, then nodded without comment and walked out the door.

Just before he was about to leave the gathering room, Nanjo Aishi suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Mr. Kujo, do you regret having decided to expel Kujo Tsubaki from the family?"

The sound of a door closing cleanly answered Nanjo Aimi's question.

Seeing the unfamiliar ghost-like figure, which was no longer so unfamiliar, leave the room, Uesugi Tetsu and Nishaku-sama subconsciously relaxed.

——After all, there is a humanoid nuclear bomb standing next to you that is always emitting threats, and no one can turn a blind eye to it.

Uesugi Tetsu let out a breath, but his eyes were attracted by the computer screen opened by Nanjo Aimi.

He slowly read out the huge title of the document,

"A rough report on the current situation of the territories of the Warring States daimyo?"

Uesugi Tetsu was stunned for a moment: "Sister Nanjo, does the work of the Special Affairs Office also include research on history?"

"What history..."

Nanjo Aimi unhappily crushed the can in her hand after hearing the question: "This is the current situation in the world."

She rubbed her temples. "Right now, Takeda Yoshinobu is leading his troops to attack Yamanashi Prefecture. If we capture Yokohama later, we might have to face that guy again."

Takeda Yoshinobu?

Uesugi Che narrowed his eyes when he heard the familiar name.

Wasn't Takeda Yoshinobu the samurai who was the first to greet him at the coming-of-age ceremony, and who had nothing special about him other than that?

Oh, and he's the son of Takeda Shingen, the "Tiger of Kai"...

its not right.

Uesugi Tetsu asked in confusion, "Nanjo-sister, are you saying that people from the Warring States period have been resurrected in the Unchanging World and are leading their troops to test and attack the Modern World?"

Nanjo Aimi nodded: "You have a good ability to summarize."

She tapped her knee with her fingers. "I heard that there seems to be a Sengoku daimyo in Shikoku who is also trying to probe."

"But that's not within the jurisdiction of our Special Affairs Office. Let's let the Onmyoji, who have too many troops and nowhere to put them, worry about it first."

Uesugi Che was stunned after hearing this.

It sounds like it's a common phenomenon for daimyo or famous people from the Warring States period to be resurrected in the ordinary world?

He asked the question.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Nanjo Aimi explained to him: "I can only say that the more famous the celebrity, the greater the probability of their existence."

She counted on her fingers, "Those well-known Warring States heroes like Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu must have all stayed in the Undying World, which is infinitely more vast than the present world, and established their own territories."

"It's just that they're probably still lying dormant, gathering strength, and waiting for the perfect opportunity, so they haven't rashly attacked the living world."

Uesugi Tetsu listened quietly, and suddenly asked Nanjo Aimi as if possessed by a strange force,

"If that's the case, then is it possible that Imagawa Yoshimoto is currently staying somewhere in the world?"

Chapter 151: The True Sword Test Begins! I Will Definitely Lose to Uesugi Tetsu (62k)

Uesugi Tetsu saw that after hearing this question, Nanjo Aimi pinched her chin with her hand, rested her elbows on her raised thighs, and looked thoughtful.

She frowned, and after a long while, she asked Uesugi Tetsu,

"Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is that?"

This unexpected question stumped Uesugi Tetsu.

Seeing Uesugi Tetsu's astonished look, Nanjo Aimi coughed twice in a rare moment of embarrassment, and then added,

"Since I'm not very interested in history, and the incident about the Warring States Daimyo attempting to reappear in the world happened only two days ago, plus there have been a lot of things going on recently, so..."

——So, Nanjo Aimi did not know Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Uesugi Tetsu finally reacted.

If you are not a fan of Warring States history or have not watched Taiga dramas, then most ordinary people can recognize the "Three Heroes of the Warring States Period" and it would be very good if they know who comes first and who comes later on the timeline.

"So, Nanjo-san, do you know about the Battle of Okehazama?"

"Oh, of course I know that." Nanjo Aimi raised her finger and replied, "It's Oda Nobunaga's famous battle, it's very famous."

We know about the Battle of Okehazama, but we don’t know about the other “protagonist” of this battle, Imagawa Yoshimoto…

Actually, this makes sense, just like him before.

Because no one is interested in knowing the stepping stones and losers behind the rise of legends, just like not many people know what the second and third place in the Olympic Games are.

In this case, the probability of Imagawa Yoshimoto existing in the present age would be much smaller than that of Oda Nobunaga and others, and even lower than that of some famous retainers of the Oda or Toyotomi families.

"Famous?"

Uesugi Che nodded and thought silently, with many rough ideas and thoughts popping up in his mind.

If one wanted to increase Imagawa Yoshimoto's popularity, he certainly could not only make a fuss about the Battle of Okehazama.

Because before that, Oda Nobunaga was just a big fool from Owari who was laughed at by the world at that time, and he had nothing to do with the word "legend".

Therefore, if you want the four words "Imagawa Yoshimoto" to be widely known, you still have to take it step by step.

The first step is to at least let many ordinary people in the Warring States period know about Imagawa Yoshimoto because of "some unique characteristics".

For Che, the only Onmyoji in the Warring States Period, it was not too difficult to do this.

As for the incident, the riots in the nearby Mikawa region and the great demons that were almost impossible to see during the Warring States period were a good test case...

Thinking of this, Uesugi Che was suddenly stunned.

——How did he unknowingly think from Imagawa Yoshimoto’s perspective and help this woman?

Nanjo Aimi, who had already memorized the new name, looked at Uesugi Tetsu who was in deep thought for a while, and then asked,

"So, Uesugi-kun, what's your intention in suddenly mentioning this 'Imagawa Yoshimoto'?"

Uesugi Tetsu came to his senses and answered without hesitation, "Because she is very dangerous. She is a Warring States daimyo who can rival Oda Nobunaga and even surpass him in some aspects. If you underestimate her, you will definitely pay a heavy price."

Nanjo Aishi nodded seriously, wrote down these words on her laptop, and prepared to include them in her report.

"By the way, Nanjo-san."

To prevent Nanjo Aimi from asking more questions about Imagawa Yoshimoto, Uesugi Tetsu took the initiative to change the subject: "Why did you specifically choose to call me over when that great Onmyoji was here?"

The implication is, "Sister Nanjo, you are really too nice to me."

This is already a cliché, because Uesugi Tetsu has felt this way more than once.

Of course, Nanjo Aimi could understand what Uesugi Tetsu meant.

She casually opened the ring of the Coke with her fingertips and pushed it in front of Uesugi Tetsu.

"Didn't you pay attention to what Kujo Shingo said earlier?"

She said calmly, "Because I have no doubt that you are a genius that only appears once in a thousand years. And under this premise, these treatments are only natural."

"Uesugi-kun, I will spare no effort to train you, protect you, and satisfy you."

Nanjo Aimi put the can with tiny water droplets on the surface into Uesugi Tetsu's hand and smiled unquestionably.

"You just have to make peace with it."
