I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

"Then, I want the name Imagawa Yoshimoto to be known throughout the world, so that everyone who hears this name will think of you the first time they hear it, making him truly known to everyone."

The wish that Uesugi Tetsu made to her the day before flowed silently into Imagawa Yoshimoto's heart.

She knew perfectly well that it would be very dangerous to go with Che to cure the disease.

They might even die.

It could mean the end of everything she hadn't yet grasped.

She would never have the chance to go to Luoyang again, never have the chance to become a person of the world again, never have the chance to ascend to the position of general, so that everyone who saw her would have to look up at her...

but!

But if one wants to fulfill this second wish, how can one miss the hard-won opportunity to promote the story immediately after Che has single-handedly eradicated the suffering?

So, should we choose a stable path to a future for all people, or should we take a giant step towards fulfilling this seemingly impossible wish?

If it were any other head of any other family in the world, they would clearly know how to make the choice.

"But I want both."

Imagawa Yoshimoto moved his lips slightly, speaking almost silently, as if talking to himself.

"That's how greedy Imagawa Yoshimoto was."

Uesugi Tetsuya stared at her silently, feeling a headache coming on.

The moment he met the girl's gaze, he understood.

Imagawa Yoshimoto has made his decision.

No matter what he says next, even if he eloquently utters eloquent words, he will not be able to change the other party's mind.

That's just the kind of unreasonable person she is.

Uesugi Tetsu sighed: "Then you must wear that full set of clothes from morning till night, Lord Yoshimoto, without the slightest slackening."

Okabe Motonobu chimed in from the side, "Mr. Tetsu is right! My lord, why don't you listen to him..."

She had almost finished speaking when she realized that Uesugi Tetsu had suddenly switched sides and stood with Imagawa Yoshimoto, who for some reason had impulsively decided to be on the front lines.

—It's one thing for our lord to go mad, but Mr. Che, you've gone mad along with him too!?

Motonobu Okabe opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

No matter how much she says, can she really make those two guys change their minds?

She had no choice but to raise her hand: "Then I'll go too..."

"No."

"No."

Two voices speaking in unison came from opposite her, causing Okabe Motonobu to lose his smile.

—My lord and Che, they definitely conspired to provoke me, right? They definitely did!

—Otherwise, how could Che possibly agree to such a dangerous request that looks like it could kill him! He spoils his lord way too much!

Okabe Motonobu's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly felt that there was no light ahead.

"Since Lord Yiyuan has made this decision, then Sister Yuanxin, you must stay here even more."

Uesugi Tetsu said, "There are so many people here at Yoshida Castle, and Matsudaira Motoyasu has even returned to the Matsudaira family's stronghold. We need someone who can keep things under control."

This is true.

Okabe Motonobu's eyes shifted.

If only I were the one accompanying the lord, then I could die knowing why, instead of living in fear and anxiety like I have for the next two days.

But even she herself knew that no one could possibly be better at dealing with those strange demons than Che; in any case, she couldn't do it.

Seeing that Okabe Motonobu acquiesced, Uesugi Tetsuya presented a pile of healing charms: "Then I'll tell you in detail about those demons, and the possible illnesses they might cause..."

Nearly half an hour later, Uesugi Tetsuya finally finished his long-winded speech and looked at the female general, who was practically dizzy from listening: "Have you memorized it enough?"

Motonobu Okabe replied vaguely, "I think I understand."

Since he himself feels there's no problem, then he doesn't need to worry too much.

dong dong.

Uesugi Tetsu tapped the table twice and began to decide where the two little ones would go.

He first looked at the two-foot-tall man: "Two-foot, you come with me."

—As the "core equipment" that allows him to return to the present world with peace of mind before he sees the suffering of illness, the two-foot-tall master who allows him to hand over the key of history with peace of mind is indispensable.

After speaking, Uesugi Tetsu looked at Shiraishi, who was constantly rubbing his fingers and was clearly nervous.

"What Shiraishi said..."

Uesugi Tetsuya paused for a moment, as if he was thinking.

Actually, you don't even need to think about it.

Not even at the level of a two-star, and unlike the two-foot-tall master who has the talent of turning life into blood bars, Shiroshi has no chance of going with him to find the disease.

Let alone a three-star demon, even just passing by a group of Vision-Stealing Insects, or being stared at by a few half-dead birds, would put Shiroshi in mortal danger.

"Let's stick with Sister Yuanxin."

Upon hearing this, even though Shiraishi had anticipated it, he couldn't help but feel a little downcast.

I was completely useless from beginning to end.

It's like a decorative piece that only swallows gold and spits out nothing, or a weed that can be cut down at any moment.

Perhaps in a few days, the boss will fail and die somewhere he can't see.

From now on, I'll have to start wandering around again.

A sense of powerlessness crept over Shiraishi's entire body, bit by bit.

However, he outwardly appeared relieved, waving his hand and displaying an indifferent expression.

"Phew~ I have to thank the boss for his mercy, otherwise my life would have been in danger if I had gone with him."

Uesugi Tetsuya smiled and nodded at him.

Shiraishi caught a glimpse of the dazzling Kaga Kiyomitsu out of the corner of his eye.

He wondered if he could come in handy if he became more powerful than the knife someday.

[The current level of influence of the world's journey on history: 1.14% → 1.15%!]

The indicator of historical influence suddenly appeared, standing out awkwardly from the scattered reputation indicators.

strangeness.

How can influence be increased without doing anything yourself?

Uesugi Tetsuya was completely baffled.

However, the slight increase in the degree of influence for unknown reasons is generally a good thing.

But now there's no extra time to deal with these trivial details.

Uesugi Tetsu clapped his hands and concluded, "Then let's set off first thing tomorrow morning after confirming that Yoshida Castle is safe."

He looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto and said...

"A surprise attack, the sooner the better."

The latter, with his eyes closed and nostrils flaring, responded softly.

……

late at night.

Imagawa Yoshimoto slept with Okabe Motonobu.

The room, which should have been completely silent by now, was suddenly filled with the voice of Motonobu Okabe.

"My lord, you shouldn't have gone."

She rolled over, looked at the black-haired girl beside her who had her eyes closed and was breathing heavily, and poked the latter's cheek with her finger.

"Stop pretending to be asleep, I know you too well, my lord."

Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had been resting with his eyes closed for several hours but still couldn't fall asleep, reluctantly opened his eyes.

She shook her head: "My mind is made up."

Okabe Motonobu stared at her silently for a while, then suddenly spoke sharply: "Because of Che?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto replied calmly, "A small part."

She turned her head and met a pair of deep, fully open eyes in the darkness.

She heard Motonobu Okabe chuckle.

"I think it's not just a small part that isn't true."

She spent so much time with Imagawa Yoshimoto that she was extremely familiar with his little tricks.

Especially at such close range.

“Yuanxin, I think you have some misunderstanding…”

"Then, my lord, please tell me where I misunderstood..."

Under the pale moonlight, a long conversation began.

……

Meanwhile, in another quiet room not far away.

Uesugi Tetsu was comforting the unhappy and trembling Kaga Kiyomitsu: "Alright, alright, with such a great figure, Kaga, you're not at a loss either."

Not long ago, Kaga Kiyomitsu completed his soul enhancement. As soon as the light faded, Okabe Motonobu caught him and gave him a good beating. After that, the child was left trembling with fear.

hum!

My heartstrings vibrated.

Uesugi Tetsu understood. Kakashi thought Okabe Motonobu's actions were too rough... and his gaze and aura were as if he wanted to swallow him whole!

Protest! Strong protest!

Don't ever give me to someone like that again!

"Okay, okay, I'll try my best."

After Uesugi Tetsu made a completely unconvincing guarantee, the naive Kaga Kiyomitsu was satisfied and fell into his hands, letting him do as he pleased.

He gripped the hilt of Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword tightly.

Before Uesugi Tetsuya could even open the panel to check the three new effects, he suddenly felt something different about himself after holding Xiao Jia.

Now... it seems he can easily use the Triple Thrust without even needing to put on a fighting stance?

Wouldn't that shorten the already simple forward movement of the tooth protrusion to almost nothing, almost at the same speed as the Iaijutsu?

The thrusting specialization has been enhanced again, and it actually brings about such an effect!

Swish swish.

The notifications kept popping up like a screen full of messages.

[Your effects 1, 2, and 4 of Kaga Kiyomitsu: The Blade of Parting have been enhanced!]

[Your Kaga Kiyomitsu has gained a new effect—Thrust Expert!]

[Your Kaga Kiyomitsu has gained a new effect—Slash Mastery!]

[Your Kaga Kiyomitsu has gained a new effect—Blessed Blaze+!]

Uesugi Tetsu immediately looked down and focused his attention on the introduction of the "thrust expert".

[Thrust Expert: When using thrusting sword techniques, you will deal massive additional damage, and Kaga Kiyomitsu will become an "expert in the field of thrusting."]

The description of the effects hasn't changed much.

But the changes that manifested in him in reality were simply outrageous!

"Thrust... Expert."
