In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

"Soul ashes..."

Nanjo Ai opened the transformation box and, after seeing the two or three bits of crude soul ash inside, she tutted unhappily, "Anything else?"

"The Demon Guidance Association." Uesugi Tetsu emphasized, "It said that all this was ordered to do by the so-called leader of the Demon Guidance Association."

After a few seconds, without receiving a clear response, Uesugi Tetsu asked in surprise: "Nanjo-sister, haven't you heard of this organization?"

Nanjo Aimi shook her head and asked, "Kurosaki, do you remember these three words?"

Kurosaki Akira opened the dressing mirror and muttered something, then snorted, "I've never heard of it."

The carriage fell silent for a moment.

At this moment, Nanjo Aimi's shadow twisted and ran to the center, and the shadow girl's voice came out: "I know, I know! I think I know! Oh, don't hit me... Is it so fun to hit the left hand with the right hand!?"

Nanjo Aiji pressed down her palm, ending the fight between the shadow girl and herself.

The next moment, two small black statues that looked like thinkers stood up.

The shadow girl on the left spoke lively: "The Demon Guidance Association! That's the name, right?"

The shadow girl on the right narrated indifferently, "About three or four hundred years ago, when I was playing with my friends, I heard the master of the house repeat this word over and over again."

Three, three or four hundred years ago? Doesn't that mean it dates back to the Edo period or even further?

Everyone present except Nanjo Aimi showed different expressions.

Nanjo Ai tapped her knees with her fingertips, not caring about the blood that had previously stained her trouser legs. "What are the details?"

The two shadow girls shook their heads at the same time: "I only remember that the current family head had a conversation with someone from the Demon Guidance Association, but other than that, I'm not very clear."

"——After all, we were still young back then!"

Homeowner?

Uesugi Tetsu pondered over this word. Sister Nanjo actually came from an ancient Onmyoji family?

This is easy to guess, as it can be seen from the fact that he was able to raise a demon like Kage-onna hundreds of years ago and keep it alive until now, and that he signed a contract with Nanjo Aimi to become a Shikigami.

But no matter how you look at it, Nanjo-san is more like a corporate slave who comes from an ordinary family, and she has none of the style and habits of a descendant of a big family.

——Could it be another bloody drama where someone was kicked out of the family for some special reason like poor talent or having demon blood?

Uesugi Tetsu touched his chin - doesn't that mean that maybe in the future he will be able to witness Nanjo Aimi personally perform the drama of the Dragon King's return?

This is interesting.

Lilizi, who was sitting next to him, moved her eyes slightly, and her expression revealed a hint of confusion, but she didn't say much.

"I understand. Thank you both for your hard work in recalling the past." Nanjo Aimi's palm flashed with magic, and she took out a brand new exquisite doll and pointed at the shadow girl on the left, "Come in."

The shadow girl was as if pardoned, and she rushed in, giving the lifeless Nanjo doll spirituality and liveliness.

"Uesugi-kun, go on."

Holding the Nanjo doll that began to dance with its short arms and legs wantonly, as if declaring victory, Uesugi Tetsu heard Nanjo Aimi say,

"This is the last doll. It will be gone after you use it."

Uesugi Tetsu, who was worrying about whether to move or ask the Special Affairs Office to deal with his father, stared at the doll and thanked it seriously.

"Thank you, Nanjo-san."

After casually nodding his chin towards Uesugi Tetsu, Nanjo Aimi kicked the middle leg of the stretcher with his toes, startling the hazy-eyed Shizuma Mafuyu.

"Manfuyu, don't sleep. If you fall asleep now, you'll be asleep for two or three days." Nanjo Aimi crossed her arms, looking a little embarrassed. "Do you want me to burn out?"

"Ahahaha... sorry."

On the stretcher, Shizuma Mafuyu, whose fingers couldn't stop trembling after the adrenaline wore off, smiled bitterly. She quickly clenched her fists to prevent her small movements from being discovered.

Nanjo Aishi rubbed her fingers on the edge of her white shirt. "Let's chat for a while to prevent ourselves from falling asleep."

"Okay, okay!"

Shizuma Manatsu tried her best to hold back the tears of fear. She took two deep breaths to suppress the pain and trembling in her voice, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Manatsu is..."

Inside the carriage, the sounds of the two people chatting and laughing happily could be heard.

Ten minutes later, Shizuma Mafuyu suddenly seemed to remember something and suggested, "Nanjo-sama! I remember there's going to be a meteor shower in a week. If you have time, would you like to go to the top of the mountain together to take a look?"

She turned to look at Uesugi Che and the others, "Ms. Lilizi, Mr. Uesugi, do you want to come too?"

Nanjo Aimi chuckled and said, "Of course after get off work."

Lilizi: "I don't care."

Uesugi Tetsu blinked, feeling that this time of the week was a little awkward, so he said, "Come when you're free."

"Okay! That's settled then." Shizuma Mafuyu seemed surprisingly lively after being injured. "I'll bring Manatsu with me."

The truck first drove to the hospital, and the accompanying Onmyoji took Shizuma Mafuyu to the hospital. Kurosaki Akira also got out of the car and said he was going home to sleep.

Uesugi Tetsu asked, "Nanjo-sister, are you going to work overtime?"

"I have to report today's events and check the files." After seeing the wounded leave, Nanjo Aimi immediately took out a cigarette in annoyance. "The Demonic Guidance Association, that doesn't sound like a good name... Also, can your injury really be cured by just applying some powder?"

During the temporary treatment in the car just now, the young monk took a gourd and poured some white powder on his wound to stop the bleeding and heal the injury.

Uesugi Che felt that the effect was unexpectedly good.

After sleeping with Master Erchi for a night, these injuries should be mostly healed, and it won't delay my entry into the ordinary world.

So he asked, "Are there any vacant beds in the Special Affairs Office?"

"The Special Affairs Office has been so crowded in the early morning lately that even sleeping on the floor requires a lot of crowding." Nanjo Aimi pointed at Ririkko, "But Ms. Tokugawa lives in a private room."

Lilizi said: "I can just sleep on the floor. The wounded will be given priority."

"Forehead……"

When he thought about having to sleep in front of Ririko for a night holding Nishaku-sama, Uesugi Tetsu didn't know how to say this.

Forget it, it’s good enough to have a place to live. Let’s just take it one step at a time.

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was thinking about this, he heard Lilizi say, "If your injury can heal tomorrow, Uesugi-kun, I will teach you those two little tricks so you can learn them and become proficient in them sooner."

"——Wait for me to get some sleep and then revive with full health!"

Uesugi Tetsu patted his chest and then gasped in pain.

The three of them got out of the car and walked into the Special Affairs Office. Nanjo Aimi took the lead and separated from them and plunged into the sea of files to search. Uesugi Tetsu followed Ririko to the upper floor and walked into her room together.

After turning on the lights, I found that the room was very spacious, about 30 to 40 square meters not counting the bathroom.

But in such a large space, there was nothing else except a bed with gray bedding, a desk and a cabinet.

Uesugi Tetsu prefers to call it prison style!

There was a large open space in the middle of the room. Uesugi Tetsu knew without even thinking that this was where Ririkko practiced in the room.

"Lilizi, your room is quite...simple."

"I simply don't have time for anything else." Lilizi shook her head and pointed at the bed. "Uesugi-kun, just go to sleep. No need to take a shower. I'll go get the bed and quilt again."

After saying that, without waiting for Uesugi Tetsu to explain to her about the existence of Nishaku-sama later, Lilizi had already walked out of the room.

"All right……"

With a sullen laugh, Uesugi Tetsu called out Ershaku-sama.

After explaining the current situation to her, Lord Nichi, who was originally worried, immediately turned from sadness to joy and hung on his waist like a koala.

Looking at Nishaku-sama who had returned to her girlish figure, Uesugi Tetsu poked her hat and said, "Nishaku-sama, don't be like this..."

"Popo...Master Che, are you unwilling to even satisfy this small request of ours?"

The two-foot-tall man raised his face pitifully, and tears were about to flow out.

This time, let’s just forget it.

The corners of Uesugi Che's mouth twitched slightly, and he lay on Ririko's bed with his eyes closed.

After tonight's events, the chance of entering the ordinary world has just cooled down.

The water pressure comes quickly and goes away quickly.

Uesugi Tetsu ran straight towards Katsumi's shop.

You can draw cards at any time, but the mysterious shop owner who appears randomly will not always be there.

Although the other party said it would take three days, he might disappear at any time just like the blacksmith.

When passing through the Izanuki Tunnel this time, Uesugi Tetsu discovered that the group of demons that had originally gathered at the tunnel entrance had all disappeared.

"strangeness……"

But he did not stop there. Soon, he followed the route he remembered and came to the store with a sign that read "All the world's wonders are available."

He opened the door and walked in. The sound of the wind chimes interrupted Sheng Hai who was performing a monologue.

"Hey—welcome light..."

In the middle of his words, Sheng Hai froze for a moment, his tone unable to conceal his astonishment: "It's only been a short time, sir, you are..."

Uesugi Tetsu didn't say anything, but just slapped a thousand soul ashes on the table, which completely shocked Katsumi.

Chapter 99 The Demon Transforms into a Three-Tailed Fox

Sheng Hai was stunned for a long time before he took out the gold-inlaid pocket watch he had snatched from the factory owners, opened it, and looked at the almost absolutely accurate time on it.

The hour hand on the pocket watch hadn't even made a half turn, or a quarter turn?

How did this walking lord obtain hundreds or even thousands of soul ashes in just a few hours?

If the time was extended to two or three days, or even shorter to just twenty-four hours, Sheng Hai would not be so shocked.

But a few hours...

Katsumi had been at Rugetsu Station for three or two days now, and had roughly figured out the characteristics of this special area shrouded in fog.

So he naturally understood that it was difficult to obtain soul ashes from the "Chi" wandering around here.

But in such a short time, let alone using special methods to leave this area and search for scattered monsters in the wilderness, it is impossible. Even if you are lucky enough to wait for that train, the round trip time of the train will be longer than this.

And this Prajna, when he walked, looked like he was not even at the two-star level.

Such potential, such means...

Sheng Hai pondered for a few seconds and had already made up his mind.

He immediately took out the two cold steel arm armors, smiled and waved his sleeves to collect the thousand soul ashes, bowed slightly and said: "Thank you for your patronage, you are welcome to visit us next time~"

Uesugi Che nodded silently, suppressed the joy in his heart and was about to leave here and return to the real world to draw cards.

Just as he was about to step out of the store, he was stopped by the folding fan with surging waves.

"My lord—wait!"

Katsumi had changed into a golden mask that looked cheerful at some point. Facing Uesugi Tetsu's scrutinizing gaze, he took out a straw doll wrapped in white cloth with a blank label on its head from his sleeve.

Katsumi handed the doll over: "This is a gift to you, sir."

Uesugi Tetsu touched the end of the doll, and a prompt immediately popped up in front of him——

【Life-saving doll】

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: After writing one's true name in blood on the "Life-Replacing Cloth", upon death, one can be resurrected once through the doll. This effect is ineffective if killed by a six-star or higher being. This effect cannot be activated across the barrier between the real world and the ordinary world.]

[——Where to place the doll is a question.]

It's just resurrection, I can revive two every day...

Uesugi Tetsu's eyes narrowed as he saw the last sentence after the effect column.

Doesn't this mean that this doll can be effective in both the present world and the eternal world?

hiss--

This is equivalent to having an extra life.

"It would be best if you could recognize it, sir." Katsumi smiled, letting go of the doll and letting it fall into Uesugi Tetsu's hands. "Katsumi is willing to use this item to establish a good relationship with you, sir. I hope you won't despise it."

That’s right, after realizing the significance behind these 1,000 points of soul ash, Sheng Hai made the decision to make additional investments!
