I'm having fun in Tokyo

Nanami Isshiki can use masks to turn people with corresponding emotions into masked demons, which is how he leveled up his mission progress to 3/10.

If I hadn't caught her so early, or had deliberately let her go and turn more people into masked demons, I might have been able to deal with those masks one by one and complete more than half of the mission.

He doesn't regret his decision.

There's no need to rush the skin quests, but you absolutely must get Shichibuki!

He would not blame himself for failing to save those who had already been harmed, but he would never deliberately allow others to take another's life, even if he could profit from it.

What makes a person human is that they have a bottom line; otherwise, what's the difference between them and the beasts they kill?

......

The Uesugi family's study.

An elderly woman in a kimono sat at a desk, holding a calligraphy brush, her strokes flowing like dragons and snakes.

Two middle-aged men in black suits stood guard beside him, their faces solemn, beads of sweat on their foreheads, and a sense of helplessness in their hearts.

Several days ago, the Uesugi family suffered a major blow.

The successor of the Ryoko Shrine, an unparalleled swordsman, killed the head of the family and the second son of the main family who was slated to succeed him because of an incident eight years ago.

With no other option, after a family meeting, the branch families and elders decided to invite the patriarch of the main family, the old man in front of them, to temporarily assume the position of family head.

They had just come to inform the other party that the swordsman who killed Uesugi Yoritada, the head of the Uesugi family, would soon be visiting the Uesugi clan.

The old man ignored them and continued writing on the rice paper.

They became even more nervous, their hands and feet trembling slightly.

"What's the panic!?"

Finally, the old man finished writing and glared at them.

"What a disgrace! Is your Uesugi family now only left with such spineless fools?"

After reprimanding the man in the black suit, he turned his gaze back to the words he had just written.

He knew what they were talking about, and he also knew their identities and what they had done through his sources. However, he felt no panic, only dissatisfaction and anger.

That young man was clearly a true swordsman.

In history, the story of the other party killing the Uesugi brothers would surely have been written into the biographies of swordsmen, passed down as a beautiful tale.

As for the brothers, they will be regarded as a disgrace to the family.

If he could, he would rather the two brothers who had disgraced the family commit seppuku to atone for their sins than let them look down on the Uesugi family.

But it's too late now, and there's no point in saying anything.

He shook his head and looked at the words he had just written.

The men in black suits also looked over, but were intimidated by the imposing aura and dared not look any further.

On the pristine white Xuan paper, the four traditional Chinese characters seem to come alive, fluttering and bold, powerful and vigorous, exuding extraordinary momentum.

"The world is full of joy!"

The old man sighed and shook his head.

"I no longer expect that young swordsman to have any goodwill towards my Uesugi family. I only hope that he will like the gift I prepared for him."

"Go and prepare to welcome them!"

Chapter 110 Uesugi Yue

"Yes!"

The men in black suits immediately straightened up and turned to leave the room.

The old man placed the calligraphy brush he was holding on the brush holder on the desk and sighed softly...

On the other side, Morikawa Yu got into the Metropolitan Police Department's special SUV and was heading to the Uesugi family home, followed by several police cars carrying Inspector Kurokawa from the First Investigation Division and members of the SWAT team.

Inside his shoshu-in-cho (temple), Chizuru seemed a little unhappy, as if she felt disliked by him.

Morikawa Yu comforted her with heartfelt words, while looking at the information about the Uesugi family that the Metropolitan Police Department had given him.

The Uesugi family in this world is no different from the Uesugi clan in the previous history.

Also from the Fujiwara clan, a noble family, and also produced a prominent figure later known as the "Dragon of Echigo," Uesugi Kenshin.

Morikawa Yu knew this person because of a game she played in her previous life.

That game features a female version of the opposing heroine, a long-haired, fair-legged, and charismatic older sister figure.

The other party's real name was Nagao Kagetora. He changed his name many times before finally inheriting the Uesugi family name and being called Uesugi Kenshin. He had a distinguished military career and was known as a god of war.

However, Morikawa Yu didn't care about these things, since they were all historical events.

The Uesugi family is now just one of many families in Kasumigaseki, possessing some yakuza influence and primarily developing real estate. Although some family members work for the government, none of them hold important positions.

In contrast, the Hojo family, which was historically defeated by the Uesugi family, has become a high-ranking member of the government and owns many businesses. The head of the family, Hojo Takehiro, is also the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The only thing worth noting is that the Uesugi family seems to have some connection with the Kondo family, which also comes from the Fujiwara clan. Although the relationship is not serious, considering that Ryoko is unwilling to pursue the matter too much, it is estimated that they are not too distant.

He put away the information about the Uesugi family and then looked at the information about the Isshiki family.

Compared to the Uesugi family, the Isshiki family is much more ordinary. They have no historical fame, and the current head of the family is more inclined to maintain the status quo than to make progress. He has a very moderate personality and seems to have nothing noteworthy about him.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the Uesugi family's villa estate.

As Morikawa Yu and his entourage got out of the car, they immediately saw a group of men dressed in black suits, exuding an air of yakuza, lining up outside the manor to greet them.

He was not surprised at all, because he already knew that the Uesugi family, like the Sakurai family, had their own yakuza forces.

Looking at these yakuza, he was reminded of Sakurai Emi, who also had the identity of a yakuza heiress in the kendo club.

Compared to these ruthless guys, our own beautiful female vice-minister is definitely more likable.

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment, then shook her head.

On the other side, Uesugi Yukihisa, who had come to greet them on the orders of the family head, watched Morikawa Yu shake his head with some trepidation, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He didn't know why the other person shook their head, but that didn't stop him from seeing the disdain in their eyes.

It was a blunder...a miscalculation.

He should have realized it sooner; his opponent was a swordsman, powerful and with an extremely high level of ambition.

When faced with such a person, the most refined etiquette that a family usually uses to welcome distinguished guests and display magnanimity will only bring shame upon themselves.

The other party must know that the Uesugi family will follow him in the future because of the relationship between the Uesugi and Kondo families. That's why he didn't directly mock him, but instead shook his head slightly to express his dissatisfaction.

But none of that matters. What matters is that I clearly messed up the welcoming ceremony.

If the head of the family finds out, my life will be over.

His expression instantly turned ugly, and he became even more cautious, his tone becoming much more ingratiating: "Mr. Morikawa, the head of the family has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."

Morikawa Yu gave him a strange look, not understanding why he was suddenly so scared, but he didn't care what the other was thinking and nodded: "Take me there."

Uesugi Yukihisa immediately led the way, and Morikawa Yu followed, while instructing Inspector Kurokawa and the others to wait outside.

Upon arriving at the manor, entering the villa, and then the study, Morikawa Yu immediately spotted an old man standing by the desk in the room.

The other person looked very old, but there was a clear light in their eyes.

He looked at Morikawa Yu for a while, and finally sighed.

In his youth, he was also a swordsman who practiced kendo, and he continued to study it until his later years.

Although his aging body had slowed his swordplay, his eyesight remained sharp. The moment Morikawa Yu entered, he instantly felt an invisible pressure.

Seeing that Morikawa Yu was also looking at him, he lowered his head and gave a simple bow.

"You must be Lord Morikawa Yu. My name is Uesugi Kotsugi, and I am the acting head of the Uesugi family. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Morikawa Yuya returned the greeting simply.

However, more than the other party's identity, he was curious about the name of this acting head of the family, because he remembered that there was also a Uesugi Yue in "Dragon Raja", and that the other party was the father of the little monster Uesugi Erii.

He wanted to ask if this Uesugi Koshi also had a daughter named Uesugi Erii, but the information the Metropolitan Police Department gave him clearly stated that this acting head of the Uesugi family had no children.

It was for this reason, coupled with the fact that the other party still held some prestige among the older generation, that they were elected as the head of the family.

Furthermore, since Morikawa Yu didn't find any Snake-Headed Eight Families or the Kassel Japanese branch in Tokyo, he knew he hadn't transmigrated to a dragon world, so he gave up on asking that question.

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and then sighed.

I wonder if this system will be able to open up instances to other worlds for me later on.

He wasn't greedy; he just wanted to go to the dragon clan and rescue the little monster.

He stopped thinking nonsense and turned to look at Uesugi Kotsugi.

Uesugi Kotsushi waved Uesugi Yukihisa away, then carefully chose his tone and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. You and your brother Yoritada are sorry for making a fool of yourselves."

Morikawa Yu shook her head.

He hadn't taken Uesugi Yoritada's matter to heart. He was just a spineless coward who had no principles and was afraid of death. He didn't deserve to remember him for so long.

Uesugi Kotsushi breathed a sigh of relief when he was certain that Morikawa Yu had no intention of pursuing the matter.

He looked at the calligraphy work he had just finished on the desk and made an inviting gesture to Morikawa Yu: "Your Excellency, this is a piece of calligraphy I just finished writing. I heard you were coming and found it very suitable for your status, so I would like to ask you to accept it."

Morikawa Yu turned her gaze over, somewhat surprised.

What a treat for the world! ?

"一一番" means "first" or "number one" in Japanese, so together they mean "the best in the world".

Is this a gift from the Uesugi family head to me as a greeting?

Morikawa Yu narrowed her eyes.

Is this Uesugi family head trying to ruin me by praising me too much?

He only learned about the realm of demons from Ryoko yesterday, and he was aware of his own strength, knowing that he was not worthy of such a title.

But judging from the other person's appearance, it doesn't seem that way.

It's likely that the other party only views their own power from a human perspective.

Aside from local deities like Ryoko, it seems there are indeed no extraordinary humans among them. Therefore, he, who has mastered the Wind Control Sword Technique, is indeed close to that title.

He didn't pretend to be modest and accepted it.

“Head of the Uesugi family, I came here just by chance, so you don’t need to worry.”

"Excuse me, do you know the head of the Isshiki family?"

Chapter 111 The Malice of Greed

"The head of the Isshiki family?"

Uesugi Koshi paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting Morikawa Yu to ask this question.

He thought for a moment and then said, "I met the head of the Isshiki family a few times when I was at the Kasumigaseki Pavilion."

"On the surface, he is a very dignified junior, but there is nothing particularly remarkable about him. He is quite ordinary and does not like to do evil to others. He is usually very amiable."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

Uesugi Kotsu's description was similar to the information the Metropolitan Police Department had given him.

But the more he did this, the more uneasy he felt.

In his past life, when he was investigating cases, he sometimes encountered some difficult suspects.

They may seem ordinary at first glance, and usually appear amiable and kind, but in reality, it's just a facade, a way to blend into the crowd.

Because they know what they are doing and understand the consequences of attracting attention.

Those guys who have arrogance written all over their foreheads, as if they're afraid people won't know they're bad people, are either clueless, stupid, or being used as pawns.

Without further ado, Morikawa Yu bid farewell to Uesugi Koshi.

Uesugi Koshi wanted to keep him there for a while, but now that he was certain that the head of the Isshiki family had a problem, he naturally didn't want to delay any longer.

After leaving the Uesugi family home, Morikawa Yu got into the Metropolitan Police Department's car, and the convoy headed towards the Isshiki family home.

To his surprise, the Isshiki family's main residence was not in the city, but in the suburbs, far away.
