I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

"However, I probably don't have much talent. I've been working here diligently and almost non-stop for over a hundred years, but I'm still a little lacking."

She sighed: "The few stories I heard on the road about the creation of these masterpieces all said that they were completed in ten or twenty years."

"—Then I think I can help you make up for this last bit."

Uesugi Tetsuya took out the spirit gold from his backpack, placed it together with Kaga Kiyomitsu again, and handed it to the Zashiki-warashi.

He asked solemnly, "Zashiki, can you help me use it to strengthen Kakashi?"

"Can you do it?"

The Zashiki-warashi shifted its gaze to the qualified spirit gold, and then its pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

As an academic, he was forced by the blacksmith to read books before he could start blacksmithing.

Of course she recognized what it was.

Suitable Spirit Gold.

And then there's... this Kaga Kiyomitsu, who has already developed a spiritual quality.

Even though the Zashiki-warashi had been forging iron for a hundred years, her heart had long since grown as cold as the hammer in her hand, and at this moment she couldn't help but hold her breath.

If Kaga Kiyomitsu's appearance earlier increased the possibility of her forging a spiritual weapon.

Uesugi Tetsuya's actions now are tantamount to handing her the ticket to the third trial.

The century-long trial that stretched to the point of dynastic change has come to an end!

She covered her mouth tightly and took several deep breaths to suppress her surging emotions.

The zashiki-warashi bowed deeply to him.

"Mr. Prajna, thank you."

With this forging experience, I'm sure I'll be able to complete the trial requirements soon.

"Isn't that great?"

Uesugi Tetsuya placed the spirit gold and Kaga Kiyomitsu into the rough hands of the Zashiki-warashi and smiled at her: "I'm leaving them to you, Zashiki."

"Yes, please leave it to me, Mr. Prajna."

The Zashiki-warashi confidently raised the corners of its lips and walked to the anvil in the center of the temple courtyard.

She opened her hand, and the hammer flew from afar and landed steadily in her grasp.

At this moment, Imagawa Yoshimoto, suppressing the urge to carry the mountain of weapons away, walked over, looked around, and asked,

"Zashiki...Master Tenko, don't you need to light a fire in the stove?"

"stove?"

The Zashiki-warashi chuckled softly and opened its other hand.

Wow!

A bright and steady flame of blessing rose from her palm, burning fiercely and bringing a bright and cheerful feeling to the two onlookers.

She lowered her gaze, seemingly casually letting the flame land on the qualified spirit metal: "I've long since mastered this little trick!"

"By the way, Mr. Prajna."

The zashiki-warashi drew Kaga Kiyomitsu, examined it closely from head to toe, and nodded with immense satisfaction.

"This forging process may take quite some time. You two are welcome to come inside and have a seat."

Having said that, she stopped talking, raised the iron hammer in her hand, and effortlessly smashed it towards Shige Lingjin.

At that moment, Uesugi Tetsu felt as if Zashiki-warashi had instantly distanced himself from the entire world, abandoning everything in the world and focusing only on the hammer and the materials.

clang!clang!clang!

As the fire of Fukuzawa burned, the sound of hammers striking anvils echoed continuously, occasionally mixed with a few screams from Kaga Kiyomitsu.

After observing for a while, Uesugi Tetsuya, feeling that the place was exceptionally safe, turned to Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was engrossed in watching, and said...

"Lord Yiyuan, I would like to go into the room to divine the future... It will take about an hour."

In reality, Uesugi Tetsu wanted to use this almost absolutely safe dilapidated temple to temporarily return to the real world and go to the Special Affairs Bureau to ask for information on dealing with illness.

Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't ask any further questions: "I'll guard the door for you."

"Thank you."

After glancing back at the unusually focused Zashiki-warashi, Uesugi Tetsuya entered the temple, which was almost devoid of any signs of life. After closing the door, he used his magical energy to set up a lock.

This prevents the possibility of accidentally pushing the door open.

He took out the key to history and pondered for a moment.

One hour is ten minutes.

This time there was relatively ample time, so apart from questions about illness, I could ask about other things.

After taking several seconds to make up his mind, Uesugi Tetsuya infused his spiritual power into the Key of History in his hand.

……

The water pressure was almost negligible.

Just as Uesugi Tetsuya took out his phone to call Nanjo Aimi, he noticed a large yellow warning light filling the entire screen.

【warn!warn! 】

[A wave is approaching; please act with extreme caution, follow instructions, and prepare accordingly!]

[—Special Affairs Department, Astronomical Affairs Section.]

wave……?

Uesugi Tetsuya was startled, recalling the giant wave he had seen at the edge of his field of vision before entering the Sengoku period.

After the first wave, another one has come?

It's only been a few days?

He quickly dialed Nanjo Aimi's number.

This time, the phone rang for more than thirty seconds before it was answered.

"If it's just a warning or a wave, then there's no need to worry too much."

As if knowing what he was thinking, Nanjo Manami's voice came with an unusual languidness.

"It's just the aftermath of the first wave... It won't bring any big names along, just be careful."

—In the Special Affairs Department, leaning back in his executive chair, Nanjo Ai glanced out of the corner of his eye at Shizuma Manatsu, who was working hard, and Akatsuki Ran, who had a stern face, and couldn't help but reveal a joyful feeling of harvest.

That giant wave was actually just the aftershock of the first wave?

Uesugi Tetsu recalled the "world-destroying giant wave" that was at least a thousand meters high, and couldn't help but feel a little astonished.

It can only be said that the scale of both the mortal world and the present world seems to far exceed his imagination.

However, since Nanjo Manami has said so, this matter should not fall to him.

So Uesugi Tetsu asked as planned, "Nanjo-nee, do you have any ways to deal with illness, preferably something simple and direct?"

"Oh, that? Of course there are many..."

On the other end of the line, Nanjo Manami, who was just about to hang up, suddenly fell silent as she spoke.

She repeated, "Illness and suffering?"

Uesugi Tetsu: "Well, to be precise, I encountered a sick person in a strange place, so I wanted to ask how to kill the sick person in case of emergency."

Nanjo Manami: "A strange place? Not in this world?"

"Not in this world."

Uesugi Tetsu could sense that Nanjo Manami visibly breathed a sigh of relief after he said those four words.

She grumbled, "You little brat... It's a good thing you didn't actually encounter a sick relative in the real world, otherwise things would have been much worse!"

Because so far, the illness has been testing and maneuvering against one of the five members of the Council of Five.

"Since you're not in the real world... well, I'll report your situation first, and then I'll retrieve the relevant information."

The illness has been very active, and it has been fighting with the Special Affairs Department of the Yin-Yang Bureau for over a hundred years, so there is still a wealth of information about it.

Nanjo Manami said irritably, "Then you'd better come to the Special Affairs Office!"

"received."

Uesugi Tetsuya's face lit up with delight, and he continued, "Recently, my Spirit Control Technique has hit a minor bottleneck. Is there anything that can help me break through it quickly...?"

"—Get yourselves to the Special Affairs Department and get them here!"

"Yes, sir, Nanjo!"

Chapter 183 An Unprecedented Special Qualities: Kaga Kiyomitsu's Spiritual Awakening! The Super Grand Prize of the Seed Battle?

Inside the Special Affairs Department.

Having just "tamed" Xiaoyue Lan to work, and not even having had two days to relax, Nanjo Ai pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance and downed the remaining 2L bottle of water on the table in one gulp.

"call--"

Nanjo Manami tossed the empty bottle back into the corner trash can.

She hadn't even had a few days of good fortune when Uesugi Tetsuya ran into some sick and miserable family member.

All I can say is that it's fortunate it wasn't an embodiment of suffering or suffering itself, or perhaps it was something I encountered in this life...

Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for sick and suffering relatives to appear in this world.

Because Dr. Louke has been watching the suffering of patients all the time, for more than ten or even decades.

But outside of this world, it is still very common for sick and suffering family members to be together.

Whether in the vast expanse of the Eternal World or in the "cracks"—that's what the operators who have been to the Eternal World say.

Sick and suffering relatives are like locusts or crickets in the grass and rice fields; you're bound to encounter them if you just take a few more steps.

—Uesugi Tetsu met a family suffering from illness and wanted to know how to deal with their suffering.

This is normal.

Nanjo Aimi thought.

Because he had recently experienced the Red Tide firsthand and narrowly escaped the pain of separation from loved ones, one of the eight sufferings.

"besides."

Nanjo Manami took a can of cola from the army of cola bottles in the freezer next to her desk, and said with a hiss,

"Materials that can help the Spirit Control Technique break through to a higher level are possible, and we currently have quite a few in stock, but it wouldn't be accurate to say that these things aren't rare."

So if you accept that, Uesugi-kun, you won't be requesting any more supplies of materials or pills from the Special Affairs Department for the rest of this month.

—Uesugi Tetsu glanced at the date on his phone.

- 2024.5.25.

Well, there's less than a week left until the end of May.

It's more important to max out the remaining proficiency in Spirit Control Technique.

During the Warring States period, it was impossible to cultivate spirit control techniques, and in the present world, it's not convenient to spare even a few hours of time for that. At present, it's also inconvenient to draw cards.

In summary, it is extremely worthwhile to use up this "share" that is almost imperceptible on a daily basis.

Nanjo Manami: "Are you still in Tokyo?"

"Yes, of course I am," Uesugi Tetsu replied helplessly. "Nanjo-nee, you could find out this by checking your phone's location, right?"

"This is because we're worried about infringing on the operators' personal privacy."

"I think they're just too lazy to investigate..."

Nanjo Manami did not answer, but instead abruptly and decisively changed the subject.

"I'll get things ready here, and you can just come and pick them up later."

The reporting process takes about six or seven hours... but they work 24/7, 365 days a year, so leave a little extra time. Everything will definitely be arranged perfectly for you after eight hours!
