I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head—he wouldn't tell much truth to Katsumi, this businessman.

Who knows if this information will be given to other demons and monsters in the mortal world as "bonus information" in the future?

Sheng Hai gave a noncommittal "hmm," clearly indicating his disbelief.

But he didn't ask any more questions; it's not a good practice to pry into customers' private information.

Merchants, of course, come here to do business.

"So, an adult."

Sheng Hai interrupted the previous topic and bowed slightly: "What is the purpose of summoning me here today?"

"Selling and buying".

Uesugi Tetsu answered succinctly, waving his hand to take out several large items he wanted to sell from his storage backpack: "Lord Katsumi, please take a look."

The Plague Bell, the Iron Pestle, the Bloodstained Broken Hat, and the Foot Guard Armor...

As for the other miscellaneous props and materials, he did not take them out for the time being.

—The Plague Bell's effect is superimposed on Kaga Kiyomitsu's effect, and is even weaker; Hinaka can only summon a one-and-a-half-star puppet at most, and a two-star puppet at most, which can no longer keep up with his pace.

Needless to say, Uesugi Tetsu never intended to use the armor from the very beginning.

As for the refined steel pestle, it's not too late to decide after we see what price Sheng Hai will offer.

The eyes of the straw figure resembling Sheng Hai immediately lit up.

He marveled at the items, finally fixing his gaze on the matte iron pestle that gleamed in the sunlight.

"Not bad!"

Sheng Hai cheerfully opened his folding fan: "The items that you wish to sell, sir, are all of very good quality!"

"However, it is really not easy for my clone to cross the waves and reap the rewards."

The straw man pondered for a moment: "My lord, why don't you set a time, and then put on the mask in the mortal world? I will definitely arrive in a short time."

He pointed to the fine iron pestle and said, "Especially this iron pestle, I have a demon-level customer who is in need of it, and I can definitely offer a price that satisfies you."

Sheng Hai cupped his hands in greeting: "Therefore, I humbly request that you leave it here for the time being."

Even a god-level being wants to use a rare-level weapon?

No... it's probably the effectiveness of this iron pestle that made it so durable and that's why it was chosen.

Uesugi Tetsu smiled and nodded.

"As it should be."

After reaching a consensus, Sheng Hai continued to ask, "What else does the master want?"

"Business has been booming lately, so even in my physical body in the mortal world, it's difficult to move around. Therefore, please tell me what kind of items you would like to buy, and I will have my clone bring them when I come down."

"All five elements materials, regardless of quality, are required."

Let's set the time for one day from now.

Uesugi Tetsu flicked the Kaga Kiyomitsu at his waist and continued his nonsense: "I recently found a craftsman who wants to reforge the weapon."

"I understand..."

Just as Katsumi was about to leave, bowing and holding his folding fan, his gaze was immediately drawn to Kaga Kiyomitsu, whose sword blade was protruding from Uesugi Tetsu's waist.

Don't move.

Buzz?

Kaga Kiyomitsu felt the gaze and flinched slightly in confusion.

Sheng Hai's eyes widened, and he immediately raised his voice: "My lord—!"

"This is not for sale."

Uesugi Tetsuya rarely interrupted the other person.

He replied calmly, and slapped the curious Xiao Jia back down.

This brat always has to cause some trouble before he'll settle down.

Uesugi Tetsu sighed inwardly—it seemed that Kakashi was unaware of how attractive he was to others.

Katsumi only realized his lapse in composure after Kaga Kiyomitsu's entire body was back in its sheath.

"Feel sorry."

He composed himself and jumped down from the tree branch apologetically: "If there is nothing else, sir, I will take my leave to prepare the goods."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded: "Mr. Katsumi, have a safe trip."

The straw figure bowed again.

He turned and leaped away, disappearing from Uesugi Tetsu's sight in an instant.

After the strangely dressed scarecrow left, Kaga Kiyomitsu, who had just been pushed back down, secretly extended a small section of his sword blade again and asked curiously,

"Little Jia... Little Jia can't understand what the master and the scarecrow are saying..."

Uesugi Tetsuya remained silent and pursed his lips upon hearing this.

Judging from the honorifics and roundabout ways he and Shenghai used in their conversation...

If Kaga Kiyomitsu could understand it, he would definitely make him a little certificate the next day to be awarded as the "Most Intelligent Genius Katana in the World".

Recalling what had just happened, Uesugi Tetsuya angrily tapped Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword drum with his fingers.

I gave Xiao Jia a sharp rap on the head.

"Well."

Kaga Kiyomitsu shuddered, uttering a look of frustration and confusion.

After feeling this, Uesugi Tetsu touched the spot he had just knocked, somewhat reluctantly, and sighed.

"Little Jia, remember not to draw your sword from its sheath when you see strangers in the future."

Kaga Kiyomitsu was puzzled by the earthquake.

Uesugi Tetsuya then threatened, "Because it might be a bad guy! A bad guy might kidnap you! Then you'll never see me again!"

Kaga Kiyomitsu seemed to be quite taken to this scare tactic, remaining completely still without even responding.

Uesugi Tetsu nodded in satisfaction.

That's better.

Otherwise, if Kaga Kiyomitsu were to immediately start peeking around and observing every place he visited, it would definitely attract a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Uesugi Tetsu smiled as he transformed into a four-tailed fox, opening LINE on his phone while simultaneously using his spirit control technique to perceive the changes in the world.

While the LINE interface was still loading in a loop due to the poor internet connection in the mountains, the spirit summoning technique provided Uesugi Tetsuya with the answer from countless clues.

"The aftershocks of the wave won't arrive so quickly, will they?"

Although it's not too far, it means I can at least take a proper vacation and relax.

Uesugi Tetsu grinned and clicked on Nanjo Aimi's grayed-out profile picture after LINE finally finished loading.

With a snap, her latest signature popped up.

[—I'm on vacation, please do not disturb.]

have to.

I reckon that Nanjo-nee had just finished drinking and was still fast asleep.

Uesugi Tetsuya logged out and then clicked on the profile picture of Huijue, who was also offline, and sent him two messages.

[Moon Sand: Master, my shikigami, Two-Foot Master, has had its perception corrupted by absorbing too much willpower, and has therefore sealed itself within its vessel.]

[Moon Sand Sauce: If you have any good solutions or ideas, please contact me as soon as possible.]

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Tetsuya added a thank you emoji.

Well, now we just have to wait for the answers from professionals.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who was about to click off all the red dots as usual, paused for a moment and realized that there didn't seem to be many red dots in the last two days.

Everyone seemed to have their own things to do... except for Kitano Runa, who was like an otaku dumping garbage into a tree hole, sending him a whole bunch of Kuku messages.

Even if he doesn't reply, I'll still send it.

When Uesugi Tetsu clicked in, he found that she was actually asking him which anime series he had watched in April, and then recommending a bunch of "masterpieces" and "excellent works".

Not only that, but they also released a preview PV link for the new anime series starting in July, and then talked at length about it.

There were also a lot of emojis mixed in, otherwise the red dot wouldn't have turned into "99+".

If he were living in a world without magic, he might get along very well with Runa Kitano.

but now……

Uesugi Tetsu sighed and replied, typing on the keyboard.

[Tsukisuna-chan: Sis, I don't have time to watch anime!]

After that, I joined the Arakawa District seed tournament group that I had been pulled into before.

In just a few days, the number of people in this group has increased significantly, almost doubling.

Uesugi Tetsu nodded in satisfaction: "It seems there are quite a few promising newcomers."

After browsing the group chat again, Uesugi Tetsuya found that everyone was discussing some very simple questions. Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness washed over him, and his eyelids began to droop.

"Why does it feel like the spiritual energy in the world is so abundant?"

Uesugi Tetsu yawned: "It's making me dizzy..."

Putting his phone back in his pocket, Uesugi Tetsuya decided to take the train home and get a good night's sleep, letting his sleepiness carry him away.

Before long, he arrived at the relatively empty tram and sat in a corner seat to take a short rest.

But just as he was about to fall asleep, a thought that had almost been forgotten flashed through his mind like lightning, making Uesugi Tetsuya's whole body tremble.

Sleepiness is gone.

He almost forgot!

—This time, he achieved a full 3% historical influence during the Warring States period! His own reputation, as well as that of Imagawa Yoshimoto, also increased significantly!

He hasn't even had a chance to see the changes that will result!

Uesugi Tetsu quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket, opened the browser, and prepared to type in the four characters "Imagawa Yoshimoto".

But just as his finger landed on the "Search" option, the phone screen went black.

It shut down due to lack of power.

Uesugi Tetsu: “…”

At this crucial moment when I'd already taken my pants off, my phone suddenly ran out of battery and shut down.

Actually, shutting down the device now is quite reasonable.

Because he hadn't charged his phone in ages, and even though he kept it in his storage bag when he wasn't using it, taking it out these few times still required a lot of power.

The key is this timing.

It's too tightly locked.

Uesugi Tetsu gritted his teeth unhappily and retracted his fingertips, which were crackling with sparks of lightning.

—Never mind, it won't take much time to find a place to charge my phone.

If you accidentally break your phone, it'll be a real problem; you don't know how much data you'll have to recover.

Let's get off at the next stop.

As Uesugi Tetsu thought this, he kept staring at the timetable on the train and tapping on the slightly cold stainless steel handrail.

Until a gentle yet mechanical female voice rang out.

"Next stop, almost here..."

Chi Chi.

The tram slowly came to a stop, and the somewhat old doors opened to both sides.
