In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

"Next stop, Kisaragi Station..."

Uesugi Tetsu stood up.

This time, he was the one to get off the bus.

After confirming that there were no troublesome demons in the car and got off with him, Uesugi Tetsu pulled Nishaku-sama over the threshold and stepped onto the ground of Ruzuki Station.

Suddenly, a chill that penetrated deep into his bones spread throughout Uesugi Che's body.

Lord Erchi sneezed: "Slurp—Lord Che, something is wrong here."

"It's right that it's wrong."

Uesugi Che used the Qi He technique to dispel the strange coldness and looked around.

——Forest and railway tracks, as far as the eye can see, except for the Ruyue Station in front of it, which has a small shop for some reason, there are only these two monotonous scenes.

It seemed as if endless railway tracks extended to both sides of the road and then disappeared into the light mist, while there were rustling sounds in the forest.

But that is not what Uesugi Tetsu should be concerned about now.

The new shrine is already in Ruzuki Station. Light it up and the area unlocking mission should be completed.

"Master Erchi, let's find the shrine together."

"poof!"

The two searched back and forth in Rugetsu Station several times, and finally found the shrine hanging on the railing above Uesugi Tetsu's head when he just walked out of the tram.

The dusty little wooden cage contained nothing but was filled with spider webs, making it look like an abandoned prop discarded somewhere.

It's really dark under the lamp.

Uesugi Tetsu smacked his lips and reached out to touch the shrine.

The two-foot-tall man stared at it curiously, wanting to touch it but not daring to.

In an instant, a faint light burst out from the shrine, and a prompt popped up.

You have lit up the shrine at Kisaragi Station.

【Your region unlocking mission has been completed! 】

[You have obtained: Special Transfer Times x1, Information on the Eternal Train x1.]

Special transfer times, as the name suggests, allow his body to be transferred to the real world at the corresponding shrine location - for example, if it is transferred to the Edo Castle shrine, it means going directly home.

Similar rewards were within Uesugi Tetsu's expectations.

The information about the train piqued Uesugi Che's interest, and he clicked on the so-called information and started browsing.

1. The route of each train is not completely fixed.

[2. If the train is full or the power goes out, something terrible will happen. Please get off the train immediately.]

There are only two pieces of information, but they contain a lot of information.

First, the word "not completely" is rather subtle. Uesugi Tetsu guessed that every train would pass through popular places like Heian-kyo and the Warring States ruins, while abandoned stations like Kisaragi Station would only come once in a long time.

What followed was the information that Kujo Tsubaki had told him before, but with the additional condition of "power outage".

Uesugi Tetsu touched his chin and thought - if he could get the train timetable, would the Changse Train become a new, regular and safe mode of transportation?

After thinking about it, he gave up for the time being.

It’s nothing, it just takes too long to travel.

In just a few hours of driving, Uesugi Tetsu could have died twice.

Putting the information related to the train out of his mind for the time being, Uesugi Che looked at the area introduction of Rugetsu Station.

[Currently unlocked area: Kisaragi Station (2-star)]

[Main Mission 80: Explore at least 0% of Kisaragi Station. Current exploration level: %]

[Main Mission 2: Save Ye Chun.]

[Main Quest 3: Exorcise the strange story of the deer, the Taiko bell, and the high-speed grandfather.]

[Side Quest 1: Tunnel to the Ordinary World - It is said that no matter what mode of transportation you use, as long as you pass through this tunnel, you will enter the other side of the world.]

[Side Quest 2: Mountain Inn - There's supposedly an inn near Kisaragi Station. If you're homeless, you might want to stay there.]

Is it still the classic mission of exploring the map, exorcising strange stories, and adding two side quests...?

Uesugi Tetsu focused his attention on the second main mission.

Ye Chun.

Of course he was impressed by this name, because in a certain version of Kisaragi Station Ghost Story, the protagonist Hasumi's real name was this.

But he remembered that Ruzuki Station seemed to be a strange rumor that spread in 2004.

And now, it’s 2024.

Then the main task tells him to save Ye Chun.

In other words, Ye Chun, the protagonist of the Rugetsu Station Ghost Story, an ordinary person, survived in this two-star map for twenty years without any help?

Uesugi Tetsu is a little hard to imagine.

Not to mention anything else, just the colds and fevers every year would make Ye Chun feel better.

Not to mention the rest.

But if Ye Chun had obtained some opportunity and became a three-star or four-star ghost story, he might have lived so long.

But this is not salvation.

I don't understand how to do this main quest yet.

In addition, the ghost stories in the main mission three were not marked with star ratings this time, which gave Uesugi Che a headache.

Is this a strategy map or a puzzle game?

"Master Nichi, please go back to the Ksitigarbha statue first." Uesugi Tetsu patted the girl's head and looked at her sleepy eyes. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, Master Che."

Master Erchi grasped the brim of his hat with both hands and said with a smile, "In fact, being able to stay with Master Che is our greatest relaxation and reward."

This smile was so genuine that Uesugi Che couldn't tell whether it was a joke or the truth.

But he still took out the Ksitigarbha statue: "Okay, go back quickly."

"popo~"

Nishaku-sama blew him a kiss and went inside the mini Jizo statue.

After settling Lord Nishikawa, Uesugi Tetsu began to move.

The transfer location is the shrine in Arakawa Village, which is also the school playground.

After all, Uesugi Tetsu didn't want to irritate Ghost Dad with his sudden appearance and cause any unexpected situation.

The transfer wave came and went quickly, and when Uesugi Che opened his eyes again, he saw the bright sun in the sky.

Wait, it's daybreak?

Uesugi Che was shocked.

He clearly remembered that he had only spent three or four hours on the train.

It should be late at night now.

Chapter 57 Ordinary Life, [Five People Meeting]

In fact, the time now is neither late at night nor early in the morning.

But at twelve noon——

At twelve o'clock noon, Shizuma Mafuyu's house was still dark and messy.

Empty beer bottles and cans were everywhere, and black and white office lady outfits and ties were hanging on the edges of the sofa and coffee table.

Lying on the tatami floor of the living room, Nanjo Ai, who was awakened by the piercing alarm of her cell phone, rubbed her eyes with her hands, turned the phone over, and moved the fleshy white legs above her head.

When she sat up, she saw Shizuma Manfuyu sleeping in a disheveled position, occupying almost half of the living room.

"This guy Jingjian... he usually looks quite quiet, but his sleeping posture is so wild and unruly."

Yawning, Nanjo Aishi pulled the purple suspenders that had fallen on her arms back to her shoulders, and then she heard vague mumbling in her sleep not far away.

"Nanjo-sama...I'm not drinking any more. I really can't drink any more."

Then came——

"Open another can! You're already down, Nanjo-nee, your alcohol tolerance isn't that great!"

Nanjo Aimi burst out laughing.

She still remembered the funny look on Shizuma Mafuyu's face last night as she twisted and turned in circles while saying these words.

The good thing about dreaming is that it can easily reverse past failures, and even if you have no talent, effort or background, you can still be an invincible general.

Nanjo Aimi brought her phone screen close to her face and stared at the date and numbers for a moment: "The appointment is today..."

"Xiao Ru, go wake Jingjian up and take her to the bathroom for a shower. I'll come after I finish smoking this."

As soon as the words fell, the ghost that had been guarding the door all night slowly floated over, but Nanjo Aimi's nose twitched, and he asked in a raised tone,

"Xiao Ru, did you drink secretly?"

Ru Gui immediately turned her head away, her cheeks burning beneath her long black hair. She shook her hands: "No... no, no."

Seeing this, Nanjo Aishi curled her lips and said, "Damn, it's true that the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked. I still remember that a long time ago, you would fly away when you smelled alcohol."

She opened the curtains and windows, and squinted because of the sunlight coming in from outside.

Lighting up a cigarette to wake her up, Nanjo Aimi hummed in enjoyment and asked, "You haven't smoked yet, have you?"

Ru Gui immediately shook his head like a wave drum: "No, no, no, this is too pungent, it doesn't smell good at all!"

"So that's admitting to drinking secretly?" Nanjo Aimi smiled, "That's what you said before when you saw me drinking while you were eating snacks secretly."

Rugui refused to listen and just kept trying to wake up Jingjian Zhendong.

"Hmm? Uh...!"

As soon as Shizuma Manfuyu opened her eyes, she was frightened by the big face of Rugui hanging in the air.

All of a sudden, the dizziness stopped and the aftereffects of the hangover suddenly disappeared.

"It's Miss Nuki." Even though Shizuma Manfuyu didn't feel dizzy anymore, she still felt her stomach churning. However, she still suggested, "Miss Nuki, if you can tie your hair up properly, you will definitely become a great beauty..."

Before she could finish her words, Shizuma Mafuyu quickly got up and ran to the bathroom.

Within two seconds, she could hear the weak sound of vomiting from inside.

The noise made Nanjo Aimi feel a little nostalgic. She remembered the first time she was drunk like this, which was probably almost fifteen years ago.

At that time, she had just entered society and didn't know how to refuse. She would drink when people urged her to drink. She would drink when the atmosphere became cold. She would drink even when she was happy...

If she hadn't been gifted, she would have had a perforated stomach from drinking so much.

Not long after, Shizuma Mafuyu's weak voice sounded again behind her: "Nanjo-sama, do you still have work today?"

"Yeah, I do." Nanjo Aimi exhaled smoke, "But you should wash yourself first. You can't go out in public smelling of alcohol."

"Oh! Okay, Nanjo-sensei!"

Shizuma Mafuyu immediately responded loudly, standing straight.

Then, her voice trailed off again, and she hesitantly said, "Um... Your Excellency, I didn't do anything embarrassing after I got drunk last night, right? I can't seem to remember it myself. Is this called a blackout?"

Is it embarrassing?

Nanjo Aimi didn't think that was the case at all.

She closed her eyes, and the memory of last night came back to her mind clearly——

"Alright! You chose the truth about the 'future', so you can't go back on your word, Mafuyu!"

"—Didn't I already tell you? I want my sister to settle down in Tokyo, you idiot Nanjo who doesn't understand what I'm saying!"

"What kind of future is my sister's life? Are you her sister or her mother?! Tell me the fucking truth!"
