In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

"A little trick."

She smiled gently and said, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

Uesugi Tetsu clasped his hands together and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher Lilizi."

"But Uesugi-kun, you're really bold." Lilizi stood up and stretched her muscles, causing her body to emit a series of popping sounds. "After seeing the prison bars behind you, you still have the mood to ask me these things."

"I'm walking and sitting upright, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

Uesugi Tetsu shrugged and tore off the electrodes stuck on his body. "So, Mr. Lilizi, can you tell me the whole story?"

"It's very simple."

Lilizi said,

"——Many people are wondering how you, an ordinary person who has never learned any Onmyoji breathing techniques, can kill Niijima Yuuta, who has transformed into a blue demon."

"—Also, the surveillance at the tram station just happened to be destroyed, so some people think there's something fishy about your very existence."

Uesugi Tetsu scratched his head: "Because I am better than him, the reason is that simple."

Ririkos could hear the footsteps rushing towards them from outside the room suddenly stop. She knew that the person was one of the Onmyoji who questioned Uesugi Tetsu's identity.

However, Lilizi didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's idea - ordinary people and true geniuses could not understand each other. It could be said that they were two completely different creatures.

The saying "summer insects cannot talk about ice" is absolutely true.

"Though I think so too."

Lilizi paused, "But considering the ability of Aibieli, this idea is still tenable."

As soon as she finished speaking, the wary voice of a strange Onmyoji came from the opened doorway: "Uesugi Tetsu, come with me."

"Don't rush, don't rush."

Uesugi Tetsu got out of bed and put on the standard boots that happened to be placed at his feet. He was slightly stunned when he felt that they almost fit his feet perfectly.

He looked at Lilizi, who stepped forward and patted him on the back: "What are you still looking at? Let's go. Don't keep me waiting."

Without saying much, Uesugi Tetsu walked up to the Onmyoji who had been staring at him, and then saw an old-looking monk-like Shikigami holding an iron stick.

——[Jian Yue (one and a half stars)].

The Yin-Yang Master pulled him and said in a bad tone, "Don't look at it any more, just leave."

"well."

Uesugi Tetsu raised his hands to indicate he held no hostility, then asked curiously to Ririko, who was clinging to him closely: "I don't think I've ever met this person before, so why is he acting so aggressive?"

The girl smiled and said, "It's because I'm too nervous. I'm afraid that you, a demon, will chop off his head just for fun. If it weren't for the lack of manpower, the shikigami accompanying you would be at least two-star strength or above."

"By the way," Lilizi raised a finger, "I followed behind you so that I could kill you with one strike as quickly as possible."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded seriously: "It seems that the Special Affairs Office still underestimated me. You two are just appetizers at best."

As soon as these words were spoken, both of them could feel the Onmyoji's hairs standing on end in front of them, and he was almost giving the Shikigami an attack order.

The Yin-Yang Master turned around, trembling slightly, and said in a timid voice, "Be quiet!"

The two looked at each other, and both sighed in their hearts that this Yin-Yang master had a really bad mentality.

Soon, Uesugi Tetsu was brought to an ordinary room.

The Onmyoji took a step back and moved his Shikigami to protect him. "Open the door yourself and go in."

Without arguing with such a coward, Uesugi Tetsu just opened the door and walked in when he heard two familiar voices arguing.

Nanjo Aimi: "What's with the testing? It's a complete waste of time. If he had any problems, I wouldn't have let him come here alive."

Kondo Tomoya: "In the present situation of love and separation, this is a necessary process. Nanjo-sensei, your personal opinion is not enough to explain anything."

As the door opened, Nanjo Aimi looked towards him.

"Are you here? Just sit down."

She shook Kaga Kiyomitsu in her hand and said, "I'll keep the knife for you and don't let anyone else touch it."

Kaga Kiyomitsu happily shook the sword twice, and the scabbard also shook noticeably.

——This is also one of the small details that Uesugi Tetsu did well. If he subconsciously put Kaga Kiyomitsu back into the storage backpack, it would be inexplicable.

However, Uesugi Tetsu raised his eyebrows - why did Kaga Kiyomitsu seem more excited in Nanjo Aimi's hands than in the hands of his own master.

Nowadays, even swordsmen have learned to flatter...

He shook his head and sat down on the chair, then asked, "What do you need me to do next?"

Nanjo Aimi snapped her fingers and said, "You don't have to do anything, just sit still."

The next moment, the ordinary room was suddenly shrouded in darkness, and an extremely complicated ritual that ordinary Onmyojis could not understand suddenly lit up under Uesugi Tetsu's feet.

"—Am I concrete No. 42, laying bricks wherever necessary?"

Dr. Li Dao's sigh echoed in the room: "Don't move, start the test now..."

In an instant, a wave of spiritual power far beyond Uesugi Che's range of sight, hearing and perception surged violently in the room, almost suffocating him.

Chapter 75: Using the Two of Us to Make a Nest

"The result is - there is no problem."

About ten seconds later, Dr. Li Dao's voice sounded again, and the originally violent wave of spiritual power disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Uesugi Che stood there in a daze, thinking that he was just about to observe and sense the flow of spiritual power, but just as he was getting ready, this massive test ended?

—I’ve been paying full attention, and you’re just showing me this?

Nanjo Aishi calmly spread his hands aside and said, "I've already said that there's no need to doubt Uesugi Tetsu."

Kondo Tomoya's expression remained unchanged. "Reasonable suspicion always requires facts to refute it. If you, Nanjo-sama, had killed a demon or god of four stars or higher in private, I would have done the same."

"Well……"

After the spiritual power disappeared, the room remained pitch black, as if it had no boundaries.

Dr. Li Dao's voice suddenly rang out: "Boy, do you know?"

"Originally, I was going to perform a soul search on you, with the premise of 'not damaging your soul,'" Dr. Koyomizu said. "But with Nanjo-sama's strong assurance, I changed it to a test to see if you're a demon or spirit."

"And last time, she protected you like this too."

Having said this, he paused deliberately, his tone filled with curiosity: "So, what is your relationship with this young Nanjo who usually doesn't care about anything except work?"

Nanjo Aimi had a blank expression on her face, and simply raised her eyes: "Sir, if you just want to have fun, there's no need to come here."

Dr. Li Dao remained silent, waiting for Uesugi Tetsu to ask himself.

After learning this, Uesugi Tetsuji realized that something was very wrong.

At first, she gave him a doll that could check and balance the ghost father, and later she almost granted all his requests. Now, it was revealed by someone who was obviously her superior that she risked her life to guarantee him.

It is indeed not a good idea to keep this issue to ourselves any longer.

So Uesugi Tetsu asked directly: "Nanjo-sister, why are you so nice to me?"

"——Didn't I tell you long ago? Value investing."

Nanjo Ai's expression remained unchanged. "It's just like investing in cheap stocks. Buying all of them when the price is far below their actual value will yield extremely generous returns in the future."

She said calmly, "Uesugi-kun, in the foreseeable future, there will be countless young Yin-Yang masters who want to make your acquaintance. And no matter how many so-called friends you make, you will always remember the first Yin-Yang master who helped you, Nanjo Aimi."

Neither Kondo Tomoya nor Dr. Koyomichi said anything, but Uesugi Tetsu guessed that they must be holding back their laughter in their hearts.

So he spread his hands awkwardly and said, "No, Nanjo-sister, I didn't even know I was so powerful. How did you come to this conclusion?"

"Since it's an investment, you have to bear the corresponding risks... Did you really think I would say that?"

Nanjo Aimi sighed and said, "Uesugi-kun, do you know——

Geniuses are attracted to each other, and I was absolutely convinced of this from the moment I saw you."

She tapped her toes and said calmly, "I wonder if this answer satisfies Your Excellency Li Dao?"

"Genius! Genius!"

Dr. Li Dao laughed. "Nanjo-san, are you saying that a genius would waste five years in this transitional position of sanitation?"

Nanjo Aimi shrugged: "Maybe."

Dr. Li Dao couldn't help but applaud from afar: "It's really the right decision to come today."

"——Nanjo-sama, I'm glad you saw how stressed I was and told me a joke with a serious face."

The laughter gradually faded away, and the darkness and magic in the room also receded, turning this place back into an ordinary room.

Kondo Tomoya: "Nanjo-sama, you really need to change your personality."

Nanjo Aimi threw Kaga Kiyomitsu back to Uesugi Tetsu: "I am just telling the truth. Kondo Daizu doesn't need to refute me. Time will prove everything."

"Uesugi-kun, let's go."

She pushed open the door and led Uesugi Che out.

Lilizi, who was practicing at the doorway during her spare time, showed a hint of joy when she saw them, but it faded away in an instant: "Is it done?"

Uesugi Tetsu said uncertainly, "Should it be?"

"Not bad at all."

Nanjo Aishi waved towards the two of them and said, "But we need to discuss your next arrangements first."

Nanjo Aimi: "I have two ideas. One is that you two should stay in the Special Affairs Office to train, and we will take care of the school and family matters."

That's a good suggestion.

Uesugi Che touched his chin and thought, although there is no way to collect the props dropped by Ghost Dad after he eats other monsters in time, there is no problem in terms of safety.

"The second one is a bit dangerous - I hope you two will still go to school as usual, so that the love hidden in the crowd will be exposed again."

Nanjo Aishi: "The Special Affairs Office will monitor the school 24 hours a day and will rush to the school the moment Aibieli appears."

Uesugi Tetsu: "You mean you're going to use the two of us to make a nest?"

"——Whether you go or not is entirely up to you. No one will force you."

Ririkko: "I don't mind. As long as I can discuss swordsmanship with Kondo-sama on a weekly basis, that's all I need."

Love is leaving...

Uesugi Tetsu pondered the name for a long time before nodding, "Only if you give Lilizi the same means of survival that I do."

"It's natural."

"——That's no problem, Ririkko. See you at school tomorrow."

……

Since Shizuma Mafuyu was frantically dealing with the paperwork that her boss kept pushing at her, it was Nanjo Aimi who drove a van to take Uesugi Tetsu to the opposite side of his home.

"That's about it, Nanjo-san."

After changing out of his hospital gown, Uesugi Tetsudo received a brand new school uniform for free.

Nanjo Aimi looked up as if she sensed something, and met the cold eyes that appeared through the gap in the curtains.

After a moment, she looked back out the window, lit a cigarette, and said, "If you need any help, don't be shy, just give me a call."

He deliberately repeated these words at this time, and it was obvious what Nanjo Aimi had discovered.

Uesugi Tetsu stopped and nodded at her: "Sure."

——After seeing the van go away, Ghost Dad returned to the sofa and sat motionless, with no reaction to Uesugi Tetsu returning home.

Ghost Daddy doesn't look much different.

While eating his self-heating bento, Uesugi Che did not notice anything unusual about Ghost Dad.

This means that Sister Nanjo has little impact on it, so I can still harvest the vegetables with peace of mind.

After greeting Ghost Dad as usual, Uesugi Che hung the doll outside the door, then returned to the room and lay down on the bed.

——Arakawa Haunted Village, here I come!

This time, Uesugi Tetsu, who had obtained the Bushihara Fire and the Green Ghost Spirit, wanted to have a good chat with the little guy in the blacksmith shop.
