In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

The bamboo sword in her hand was knocked away!

Just like that, the tip of the sword wrapped in leather hovered steadily in front of Ririko's neck.

The fleeting ray of clear sword light illuminated her pupils, leaving an indelible mark on Tokugawa Ririko's clear sword heart.

The next moment, Uesugi Tetsu fell into a coma and collapsed heavily to the ground.

Lilizi just watched.

It took her a while to realize what had happened.

The girl quickly squatted down, untied the mask for Uesugi Tetsu, and after confirming that there was no serious problem, let him rest his head on her legs.

In the dim sunlight of late spring, Tokugawa Ririko lowered her head, staring at the tired face that was slowly dripping with sweat, and a smile of joy came from the bottom of her heart.

"Uesugi-kun."

She gently closed her eyes and said seriously and happily:

"I've never felt it so clearly before—how wonderful it is to live in the same era as you."

When Uesugi Che opened his eyes again, the first thing that caught his eye was all kinds of data and Lilizi's little face.

Unfortunately, what was blocking his view wasn't just a large thunder that only allowed him to see half of the gym's ceiling.

"That's good too. It won't affect your sword practice."

Lilizi:?

With a sigh, Uesugi Tetsu left Ririkko's lap without any reluctance.

In his eyes, Lilizi = good brother, and a good brother's lap pillow is not something to be missed.

Although Lilizi's thighs are indeed more comfortable than pillows - muscles that have been subjected to long-term high-intensity training will only be as hard as stone when exerting force, but as soft as cotton when relaxing.

"Uesugi-kun, how are you feeling?"

"Very good, better than ever."

Uesugi Tetsu's answer stunned her for a moment, and she quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth: "Do you want to go to my house and take a medicinal bath?"

In fact, Lilizi was very thoughtful.

For normal people, the body must be relatively weak after pushing the limit after high-pressure training. At this time, taking a medicinal bath can play a good role in recovery.

But is Uesugi Tetsu a normal person?

What normal person can wake up from a good sleep and suddenly become a national-level athlete with better physical fitness than an ordinary person?

The increase of two points in physical attributes not only swept away the previous fatigue and damage to the body, but also allowed Uesugi Che to feel the explosive power coming from his body at all times.

Now, whether it's a 10.5-meter dash in 29 seconds, a 45-meter run in 200 minutes and seconds, or a -kilogram bench press, Uesugi Che believes he can complete it easily.

This is the comprehensive improvement brought about by the increase in physical attributes, which is almost unscientific.

In addition to this, some new sword techniques from the Natural Rishin Flow flowed into Uesugi Tetsu's mind.

But that's a story for later. He couldn't possibly show these in front of Lilizi.

After tentatively moving his body, Uesugi Tetsu looked at the still deserted dojo and asked, "How long has it been since I fell unconscious?"

"A little over two hours, it should be time to go home soon." Lilizi stood up and smiled: "Why, do you still want to practice?"

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the pale-faced girl, thinking that she must have been kneeling on the ground motionless for so long, and said, "No, try to relax occasionally."

"Hmph..." Lilizi snorted, her voice unclear, and then continued, "During that time, your phone rang. I saw that the other party had called several times in a row, so I answered it for you without permission."

"Is it a call from Nanjo-san?"

"No, he said he was the cop's henchman and would wait for us at the door after school."

Uesugi Tetsu: "That's perfect. I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. How about treating you, Mr. Lilizi, to a barbecue tonight?"

"I do not mind."

Ririkko's face was expressionless - if you ignored her hands that were tightly gripping her abdomen to prevent it from making any sound.

……

Although he was taking a shower, Uesugi Tetsu did not forget to go into Changshi and take away the weapons made by the blacksmith.

But when Uesugi Tetsu arrived at the blacksmith shop, he found that there was not a single weapon left in the shop that was once full of weapons.

The building was empty.

Uesugi Che frowned, walked in quickly, looked around, and found that the blacksmith who was originally sleeping soundly behind the counter had disappeared.

Instead, the little kid who had stood next to him before was there.

Fortunately, someone is there.

Uesugi Tetsu thought for a moment, then asked as gently as possible, "Where is the old blacksmith?"

"Master has left."

The little kid, huddled under his cloak, spoke. He took out a weapon from under the counter with some difficulty and placed it on the table. "This is the weapon Master made for you, Mr. Prajna. He said you would like it."

"Please take it."

On the old wooden table was a katana in a vermilion scabbard.

Misunderstanding resolved.

"Thank you."

He first thanked him solemnly, and then Uesugi Tetsu picked up the katana with both hands.

The first thing he touched was the scabbard.

【Regenerated Scabbard】

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: Slowly repairs the durability of the saber.]

[——The matching scabbard made by an unknown blacksmith for Kaga Kiyomitsu]

nice one.

Durability is very important for a cold weapon.

For example, his axe had been worn out by the collisions between the farmer's bones and the crowbar, and its edge had become blunt and chipped, so its lethality was no longer as great as it was at the beginning.

If it is used for a longer time, the blade might even break.

As long as you have this scabbard, these problems will not exist.

——This blacksmith is such an honest man!

Uesugi Tetsu was overjoyed. The scabbard was already so satisfying, so what kind of surprise would the real owner bring him?

After slowly pulling out the blade, Uesugi Tetsu began to carefully examine the entire katana.

The blade is 72 centimeters long, and the blade is as clean and sharp as a windless lake, without any complicated textures or patterns. The blade is very thin, but as cold as winter. The whole knife is much heavier than a hatchet, but it makes Uesugi Che hold it very comfortably.

Then look at the weapon panel that pops up.

【Kaga Kiyomitsu·Imitation】

【Quality: Super good】

[Effect 1: Boosts stabbing. Using stabbing sword skills will cause a large amount of additional damage.]

[Effect 2: Zanpaku. When using Kaga Kiyomitsu·Imitation to kill demons and monsters, the quality of Kaga Kiyomitsu·Imitation will gradually improve.]

[——The nameless blacksmith copied the katana from his memory of Kaga Kiyomitsu, but the difference is that this time he put his heart and soul into it.]

Uesugi Tetsu was silent.

He wondered what he had done to deserve the blacksmith's ability to craft him such a superb weapon.

Was it simply because he had helped eliminate the noise from his workshop? This was unlikely, as the blacksmith had already left Arakawa Village, so the existence of the workshop was unimportant to him.

That can only be...

Uesugi Che looked at the little guy behind the counter and said, "Dou Ding, your master asked me to take care of you?"

The gray cloak trembled, and then a timid voice came from it: "Master said that this depends on you, Mr. Prajna. He only made you an ordinary weapon, and there is no other involvement."

"How could there not be..."

Uesugi Tetsu sighed and put the blade back into the scabbard: "From now on, if you have any problems, just come to me."

The cloak shook twice again, as if the little guy inside was nodding.

Then, Uesugi Tetsu saw him take out a...

A mini version of the Ksitigarbha statue?

"The master also said that if you, Mr. Prajna, take the initiative to ask for my protection, I will give you this statue."

"What if I didn't ask?"

"Then in exchange for this statue, I ask for your protection."

Uesugi Tetsu paused, then approached the counter with a mask of Laughing Prajna on his face. "What if I were to rob you?"

The cloak trembled even more violently, but the little fellow said, "Master said you wouldn't rob it. He said you are not of the same kind as those evil spirits."

"whispering sound."

Uesugi Che cursed in his heart.

I've said all the good and bad things about that old guy. How come he looks so honest but has so many tricks in his mind?

"Like give it to me."

The little guy did as he was told.

And the moment he took the mini Ksitigarbha statue, Uesugi Tetsu's eyes fixed.

[You have obtained the key item for Side Quest 1—the complete Ksitigarbha statue!]

Chapter 26: Yashaku-sama? Shikigami?

[You have obtained the key item for Side Quest 1—the complete Ksitigarbha statue!]

[Side Quest 1: The Damage of the Ksitigarbha Statue - When did the Ksitigarbha statue enshrined in the south of the village become damaged?]

Previously it was side quest two, and now side quest one is here too.

Uesugi Tetsu looked carefully at the Ksitigarbha statue in his hand.
