I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

——He has already practiced enough, and this not-so-rare ninja manual is completely unnecessary.

At most, I just took a quick look to prevent myself from being fooled in the future.

Uesugi Tetsu first returned to the dojo to retrieve the Samurai Zancegan, and then called Nishaku-sama to the door.

"——So, Lilizi, I'll have to trouble you to look after the house for the next few days."

The girl in a kimono and a high ponytail glanced at him and said, "It doesn't matter if it's just a small matter. The key is that you, Uesugi-kun, don't slack off after you go out."

She said seriously, "Otherwise, if you're not careful, I'll catch up with you."

"That would be great."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled, his tone expectant.

"I'm looking forward to the day when I can hug your thick thighs, Lilizi."

The girl said nothing, but just watched the two leave.

……

After leading Erchi-sama out, Uesugi Che first found a family restaurant to have lunch, while at the same time clarifying his immediate goal.

Taking his eyes away from the girl who was enjoying the children's meal, Uesugi Che stared at the surface of the coffee and began to think seriously in his mind.

First and foremost, it is important to find a breathing method that is more advanced and complete than Coronal Breathing.

It should not be difficult to ask Imagawa Yoshimoto to do this.

If you get the chance, try to learn the Four Extremes Breathing Technique from Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Therefore, it is natural to continue to improve Imagawa Yoshimoto's favorability... and the Mikawa riot caused by the mysterious demon is already imminent.

correct.

Uesugi Tetsu tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

It is also necessary to increase Imagawa Yoshimoto's popularity as much as possible - this will make it more likely that she will appear in the ordinary world.

On the premise of high favorability, it is not impossible that such an Imagawa Yoshimoto would stand on the side of the present world, or even be used by him.

With the help of such a great name, it would surely greatly reduce the pressure on Arakawa District and even the entire Special Affairs Office, and the benefits to him would be countless.

He gave the ninja secret manual to Shiraishi to practice and observe for feedback, and also looked for Tiangong in the Warring States Period to let him use the appropriate spiritual gold to forge Kaga Kiyomitsu again.

——These two things should be ranked after the above-mentioned things.

In other words, it’s best if you can do it naturally, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t.

After completing a simple plan in his mind, Uesugi Tetsu clapped his hands.

"But before that, let's go to Arakawa Village and take a look at the factory."

After all, this factory located in the Novice Village is likely to have an unclear and in-depth relationship with the super epic map in his hand.

Chapter 160 Factory Owner Z, Second Stage of Main Quest Released!

"This ordinary-looking man is Uesugi Tetsu?"

"Well, he's the winner of the True Sword Trial held by the Oborozuki Hall in Yokohama a few days ago. He's proficient in the techniques of the Suqiang technique, the Tianran Lixin style, and the Leifa technique. He even achieved a breakthrough during battle, completing a Gangqi cycle in less than a minute. He also possesses a strangely mutated Kaidan Hachishaku-sama."

"—He is undoubtedly a Hexagonal Warrior and one of our greatest enemies in this Seed War."

On the rooftop of a high-rise building in Shibuya district, Tokyo.

Amidst the layers of barriers, a man and a woman were looking down at the blurry water mirror emerging from the intricate Yin-Yang array pattern.

The young man was wearing a casual sports shirt with his hands in his pockets, but spiritual power as deep as the ocean was slowly flowing around him, maintaining the operation of the water mirror technique in front of his toes.

He was actually an Onmyoji with profound attainments in astronomy.

The girl had her hair tied in a simple ponytail and was carrying a katana that was almost as tall as her and was wrapped in layers of bandages. She crossed her arms across her chest with a questioning look in her eyes.

The main perspective in the water mirror is Lord Erchi.

——For some reason, I don’t know, but I always fail when I try to use Yin-Yang magic to directly spy on Uesugi Tetsu.

So he could only set his sights on his Shikigami.

At this moment, Uesugi Tetsu, who was sitting opposite her, was smiling gently and pushing the juice handed by the waiter in front of her.

This look doesn't look like "a terrifyingly talented all-rounder" or "one of the brightest rising stars in the Eastern Region."

Instead, he looks like an old father who is a little too young.

"Saito, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to guard against a guy who doesn't even have the aura of a strong man."

The pale girl said lightly.

The young man called Saito, whose full name was deliberately chosen as Saito Ryuichi, shrugged.

"I think that before the sword test began, the three people from Longyuetang should have had the same idea as you."

He winked at one of the daughters of the Yuan family and couldn't help but smile: "Yuan Jingshui, guess who won the real sword test?"

Yuan Jingshui was silent for a long time before he frowned and said,

"I'm different from those ordinary guys. I can defeat those three people from Longyuetang with just a real sword test, and I can even do better than him."

"What's the difference?" Saito Ryuichi asked back, "If you ask me, you already have all the qualities to become a qualified stepping stone for the rise of a genius."

He gestured with a smile: "Yuan Jingshui, you are now like an old general on the stage, with flags symbolizing 'failure' stuck on your back."

"..."

The girl herself had always been praised as a genius by those around her since she was a child, so she was very angry about Saito's words.

Yuan Jingshui's chest heaved.

After a while, she closed her eyes and said loudly, "I know. I will never underestimate him! And what about Tokugawa Ririko? Isn't she a swordsman?"

"Swordsman..."

Recalling the description of the "swordsman" mentioned in ancient books, even the resourceful Saito Ryuichi couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

The so-called swordsmen are mostly very pure people.

And precisely because of his pure strength, he is even more difficult to deal with - no matter how many tricks he has, the other party can break them with just one sword.

And it's outrageous. Even in his father's generation, there were very few people who could be given the title of "Swordsman". He was considered the most outstanding group of people.

Now they say that some of their peers have become swordsmen.

Although it seems that he has only reached the realm, his strength has not yet reached the level of a swordsman.

But even so, it's a bit outrageous.

Isn't this vaguely comparable to the eldest daughter of the Minamoto family... What on earth was the Tokugawa family thinking, letting her stay out there and even letting her join other forces?

Saito Ryuichi's face was solemn: "There's no better way. I think you can only practice more with your sword and defeat her head-on."

He paused, then pondered, "Perhaps I could contact the Tokugawa family and see what the situation is..."

"No need."

Yuan Jingshui interrupted him.

She stared at Uesugi Che's blurry face in the water mirror, her eyes unwavering as she spoke word by word.

"I will personally make them both stepping stones on my path to becoming a swordsman."

……

Why do I always feel like someone is spying on me?

Uesugi Che turned his head left and right, but did not detect any signs of abnormality or spiritual fluctuations within a hundred meters.

"strangeness……"

After quietly watching Ershaku finish the children's meal without leaving a single grain of rice, Uesugi Tetsu stood up and took her to a taxi without saying a word.

But just as he got into the car and hadn't said a word, Uesugi Tetsu clearly felt that the very faint sense of being watched suddenly disappeared.

What does it mean?

Knowing that you have discovered the peeping, you simply stop looking?

Uesugi Tetsu was silent for two seconds, randomly told the driver the address of a subway station, and then asked Nishaku-sama to return to the Ksitigarbha statue.

After joining the crowd at the subway station, Uesugi Tetsu immediately transformed into a four-tailed fox and casually molded himself into the appearance of a stranger.

I took the subway to the station and then took the Shinkansen to leave Tokyo.

And along the way, Uesugi Che did not feel even a little bit of being watched, as if the feeling just now was just an illusion.

After randomly finding a hotel to stay in, Uesugi Tetsu took out the divine fortune stick to see if the matter would be auspicious or not.

After a while, a slender and round divine fortune stick fell into his palm.

Uesugi Tetsu turned over the bamboo stick, and the two words "Xiaoji" in a neither deep nor shallow manner came into view.

[Royal God Lot·Xiaoji]

【——Curiosity satisfied, nothing happened.】

Uesugi Toru raised his eyebrows.

——This means that the guy who is spying on me with Yin-Yang magic somewhere is probably doing it purely out of curiosity?

There are people like this... There has never been one before.

It is most likely due to the real sword test a few days ago.

It seems that being too famous is not a good thing.

But since the divine fortune stick said so, it meant that the matter was over and there was no need to worry about it anymore.

Uesugi Che didn't think any more and just lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

wow-

The heavy water pressure enveloped Uesugi Tetsu and sent him to the mysterious village of Arakawa, which he had not visited for a long time.

Boom! Boom!

Before he opened his eyes, Uesugi Tetsu had already heard the loud noise of engines coming from outside the thatched hut, which could only be produced by giant machines working.

Of course, there is much more to it than that.

Thick dust and the smell of warm, fresh motor oil seeped into the house through the cracks, now filling Uesugi Che's mouth and nose, completely obliterating the original thatch smell.

The mysterious village of Arakawa has undergone a dramatic change.

As for the culprit, Uesugi Tetsu knew without a second thought that it was the factory not far from the village.

He transformed into Bai Prajna, pushed open the shabby wooden door, and his pupils shrank uncontrollably.

——Because apart from that factory, where else could the local monsters and demons create these bipedal robots that are several meters tall and full of diesel punk flavor.

That’s right, these!

Under the silent gaze of Uesugi Tetsu, who had climbed onto the roof, one after another giant robot was walking through the intricate network of streets.

They either uprooted thatched huts or filled in potholes in the roads like workers... In short, each robot was transforming the original Arakawa Ghost Village.

Even though the sky was filled with dust, it did not slow down the robots' work efficiency in the slightest.

If they encounter scattered contaminated farmers on the way, these robots holding various huge iron tools will wave their hands and easily smash them into meat patties.

Perhaps because it was an inanimate object, Uesugi Tetsu did not see the pop-up prompt above the robot's head.

So through careful observation, he found that the combat power of these huge but somewhat clumsy robots was about the ordinary two-star level.

With so many two-star iron lumps, it is not difficult at all to clear out a mere Arakawa Ghost Village.

Uesugi Tetsu did not attack the robots randomly to alert the enemy, but instead walked towards the direction of the original factory, moving forward quickly while hiding.

On the way, he also discovered that the dilapidated temple where Lord Erchi once lived had been razed to the ground, and two robots were slowly clearing the ruins.

But the townhouse where the old blacksmith and Zashiki-warashi lived was completely undamaged - it seemed that this was the only house in the entire village that stood out among the ruins.

"It seems these robots or the people behind them possess a high level of intelligence."

Uesugi Tetsu thought of the forging tools left by Zashiki-warashi in the house. It must have been those things that saved the machiya from destruction.

Within a few minutes, Uesugi Che, whose leg strength had greatly improved, arrived outside the factory wall, which was unexpectedly quiet compared to the village.
