Uesugi Kiyoshi is too lazy to talk nonsense with these scumbags.

There is also a difference between bad and bad.

You can't say that he was right when Tosaka Tiger was a student who collected protection money, but he was a competent student who paid protection money to stay away from school violence, but for some people, he was indeed an umbrella.

Without him, it may be the real end.

But what about these people?

It's pure perpetrators.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt harsh when he heard those words just now, let alone a little girl who was a year younger than Apricot.

Such a vicious verbal attack on a young girl, just because it's fun and interesting? What did she do wrong?

Family background, parents, is that what she can decide?

She is trying to survive in the cracks, when other high school students can enjoy their youth, working hard, and suffering from these heart-wrenching words, Uesugi Kiyoshi is not used to it.

Even if there is no relationship between apricots, if he encounters it, he has to take care of it.

With a little effort, he may save a life, he is no better now than before, when he first met with Apricot before, he was even more hesitant, offended those bad ones, will it make campus life difficult, but now...

Hum...

The speed that can't be seen clearly with the naked eye, Uesugi Kiyoshi waved his hand without hesitation.

He gave those bad slaps a few times, and soon, the screaming figures fell to the ground one after another, and they rolled over, clutching their swollen cheeks, and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi in horror.

It is the nature of this kind of person to bully the soft and fear the hard, how can they not understand that they have encountered a ruthless character who pierces their hands?

The one who spoke before was probably the head of a few people, who made a quick decision and got up with both hands and feet? Turn around and run.

Have you seen those little brothers? They also followed suit and fled.

No kidding? This kind of wave of your hand and knock yourself out? Even the head of the judo club in the school can't do it!

Uesugi Kiyoshi turned his eyes sideways and looked at those collapsed sisters? The corners of his mouth were curved, and his smile was a little dangerous.

"In general? I don't hit women. ”

"Of course... When I'm angry? It's impossible to say what will happen. ”

"Are you still here, obstructing my eyes?"

After a few short screams and messy footsteps, the idlers finally disappeared.

Uesugi Kiyoshi made a lot of noise, but there weren't many people in the store at this time? Those customers don't seem that timid? They all looked at the place as if they were lively, and saw Uesugi Kiyoshi kill a few bad ones, and some of them applauded.

Humans are the kind of creatures that like to watch the excitement and like to judge people by their appearance - the bad ones all seem to kill Matt? So well-dressed and handsome Kiyoshi Usugi? As a matter of course, it became decent.

The clerk in the store hesitated to come up and ask about the situation, but Uesugi Kiyoshi gave him a look? Ueno Miishi willingly stopped the clerk and took out his wallet? Prepare for the aftermath.

Could it be that the compensation given by Ueno Mitsushi was generous enough? No one came to bother Uesugi Kiyoshi.

He sat in his seat? threw a reassuring smile at the apricots, and then looked at the "thousand feathers" next to him with playful eyes.

Since recovering part of his memory, Uesugi Kiyoshi has become much more sensitive to the aura of youkai.

After all, he was the former lord of a hundred ghosts, and at the beginning, there were countless big monsters under his command.

Yokai can be counted as a type of oni and god, and the term "oni and god" in the definition of the transcendent world includes many traditional Japanese yokai.

But monsters, ghosts, gods, and outer gods are all completely different, at least in terms of the nature of their power.

Yokai refers to supernatural beings that exist in heaven and earth other than humans and gods.

And the demonic energy is the supernatural life of the monster to exert extraordinary "power".

Uesugi Qing's mirage is actually the refining and purifying form of demonic qi, and the Qinglian ghost fire is the superior replacement of mirage.

Therefore, he could clearly perceive that the little girl hiding behind the apricot already had a very manic looking demonic aura raging.

Whether she is reincarnated as a human by chance, or transformed from a human to a monster, or is targeted and possessed by some monster.

She's on the verge of an explosion right now.

All it takes is a violent mood swing that completely crushes her, and her humanity is most likely to be erased in an instant, and the cold thinking of the monster will take its place, and she will become a savage monster.

This kind of thing,Uesugi Kiyoshi has encountered a lot.,Most of the time in the Collectibles Association.,It's this kind of work.。

It's just that there are still a few people who are monsters, and there are more ghosts and evil gods.

"Thanks... Thank you. ”

The snorting girl thanked her with some embarrassment, but her eyes were full of gratitude.

Her embarrassment is probably because of the vicious words just now, which fell on the ears of her seniors in middle school.

She looked at Apricot with admiration in her eyes, like a fan girl, so it seems that she should indeed be a good friend.

Come to think of it, people who snuggle up and keep warm in the cold winter should be able to breed a very strong friendship.

After Kyoko saw Uesugi Kiyoshi solve the trouble, she smiled sweetly at him with crooked eyebrows, and then began to shush her friend and ask for warmth.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't interfere, just slowly sipped the bitter coffee in front of him, and the old god was squinting and pretending to sleep, as if the person who had just thundered was not him.

Apricot and this junior didn't talk for a long time, after all, this little girl still has a job, and it is impossible to chat here.

In the end, she bowed heavily to Uesugi Kiyoshi, whispered again, "Thank you, senior..." and left the scene as if fleeing.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled, but did not speak.

He felt that if he hadn't made a move just now and let this little girl be bullied by a group of bad guys, the powder keg might have exploded.

The powder keg refers to the demonic energy on her body.

She was in a very dangerous state now, but there was nothing Uesugi Kiyoshi could do to stop her demonization right now.

This situation is not the same as the belief in ghosts and gods of the secret rites, and over time, the demonic qi has penetrated into the depths of Qianyu's body and soul, and I am afraid it will be difficult to pull it out.

After seeing Chiba bow her head and apologize to the foreman, and then return to work, Kyoko let out a long sigh of relief.

She was actually so scared just now, and her heart was like a drum, but the thought that Uesugi Kiyoshi was by her side made her courage gush out endlessly.

Little by little, the apricot moved next to Uesugi Kiyoshi and almost stuck to his body, smiling a little happily, her eyebrows and eyes curved like a crescent moon.

"Thank you, Uesugi-kun."

Uesugi Kiyoshi opened his half-squinted eyes, raised his eyebrows with a smile, and said softly, "What do you want to thank me for?" ”

Apricot blinked, pouted, and had many answers in her mind.

Thank you for standing in my way again.

Thank you for saving my friend.

Thank you for not denying the fact that it's my boyfriend...

In the end, it was all in one sentence.

Apricot was a little shy, but she snuggled firmly on Uesugi Kiyoshi's shoulder, half-tilted her head, looked at the good-looking side face, and murmured like in a dream.

"Thank you for always being there for me."

In a trance, it was as if something in my head was broken.

The water bottle fell, the silver light leaked, and the memory was like flowing water, slowly flowing out.

It seems like...

In the distant past.

I used to lean on Uesugi-kun's side like this.

He had picturesque eyebrows and always looked at me gently.

And I, as now, do his laundry and cooking, light a lamp at night, and wait for him to come back.

A dream of a good life...

Is it my delusion?

Kyoko began to be in a daze, but Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly felt a trembling sensation coming from the Hyakki Scroll.

His mind sank, and he came to the mirage building, and was surprised to see the apricot portrait in a blue and white kimono yukata shining on the wall.

His pupils shrank slightly, but there was a smile on his face.

"It's... Signs of memory recovery? ”

"It's a good thing after all, don't worry, just let it be."

"Apricot is different from me, her soul is not so tough, and when she thinks about what happened before, I'm afraid it's difficult, so you don't have to do it deliberately."

In a flash, Uesugi returned to the world.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Apricot had finished her daze, but she was a little distracted.

He doesn't break it either, he just pulls away from the topic.

"Well, don't you want to talk to me about your good friend?"

Hearing this, Apricot woke up like a dream and nodded subconsciously.

"Chiba is my junior, her surname is Fujimura, Fujimura Chiha."

"Our two families are neighbors."

"The Fujimura family was quite famous in our town at the beginning, Qianyu's father was an executive of a town company, with a lot of salary, and Qianyu's mother was also very beautiful, and it was a happy family that many people envied at that time."

"But... Later..."

"Mother Qianyu seems to have been bewitched by someone and believes in a strange religion."

"She went behind her husband's back, donated all the family's savings to that church, borrowed loan sharks, mortgaged the house - the woman was like a demon, crazy to give everything to the faith."

"It's... Said the police gentleman at the time. ”

"Mr. Fujimura called the police, but the religion disappeared, and Mr. Policeman had no choice, and finally Mr. Fujimura was overwhelmed and committed suicide by taking poison..."

"And Qianyu's mother left her hometown with Qianyu - at that time, the neighbors said, as if to avoid debts."

"I didn't expect them to come to Kyoto, Hokkaido is so far from Kyoto!"

"I can reunite with Qianyu here, we haven't seen each other for five or six years!"

There was some excitement in Kyoko's tone about the reunion of old friends, but Uesugi Kiyoshi could basically deduce the outline of the matter.

Bitch's daughter... No wonder those people say that.

In order to survive, that kind of woman seems to have the only choice of going to a custom shop to do things, right?

A stupid woman who was dazed and deceived of her family wealth, it is estimated that the deception is also easy, and in the end the family is ruined - oh no, just the husband died.

That Mr. Fujimura is also a fool, and the husband and wife are stupid together, just a coward with no sense of responsibility.

Truly wretched, there must be something to hate.

I have no money and can't earn it back? My wife is an idiot and can't find a new one? What threshold can't be crossed, you have to commit suicide?

You committed suicide, and you are gone, what should you do if your daughter is lonely?

Throw it to that stupid woman scourge?

Not to mention anything else, this couple is not worthy of being parents, which makes Uesugi Kiyoshi extremely disgusted.

But in this way, that Fujimura Chiba is a strong-willed girl, and it is already a miracle that she can grow up healthy in that environment.

Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of this environment that darkness and despair take root in the depths of the heart, and finally become the fuse of demonization.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced thoughtfully at the back of Fujimura Chiba, but she suddenly looked back and met her eyes.

Obvious panic appeared in Fujimura Chiha's eyes, and she immediately looked away and hurried to work.

And Uesugi Kiyoshi's smile became meaningful.

She's scared of me...

Why is she afraid of me?

Afraid that I'll kill those bad, some violent?

No, a child who grew up in that kind of environment will not even have the ability to bear it.

So...

Wasn't it, what did she feel?

Without further research, Uesugi Kiyoshi sat on a chair, squinting at the sunset outside the window, no longer paying attention to Fujimura Chiba.

And the apricots may have been a little tired after a day of shopping, leaning on Uesugi Kiyoshi's shoulder, and gradually fell asleep.

The two of them stayed at the coffee shop until about seven o'clock in the evening.

It wasn't until Uesugi Kiyoshi saw Chiba Fujimura change into the waiter's maid outfit, say goodbye to his colleagues, and hurriedly walk outside the store that he gently shook Kyoko awake.

He just inquired that in order to make up for tuition and living expenses, Fujimura Chiwa basically has no time to rest, and her rest days are basically all used for part-time work.

The days before Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't awaken the Hundred Ghost Picture Scrolls, it was probably like this.

Doing my best for tens of thousands of yen, trying to live, sad, ridiculous, and somewhat respectable.

"Apricot, shall we go?"

Kyoko had just woken up from her sleep, a little dazed, and she had a long dream, in which she grew up with her favorite Uesugi-kun, and was enjoying his diet and daily life, but she was woken up.

She was a little unhappy, but when she saw that gentle and smiling face, all the unhappiness disappeared.

"Good~"

She quickly agreed, and didn't ask where she was going, just stood up - she was embarrassed to take the initiative to take Sugiyo's hand, so she grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Uesugi Kiyocai didn't care about that, he directly grabbed Apricot's soft little hand and led her out.

Greeted Mitsushi Ueno, and the two fell so far behind Chiba Fujimura.

It's seven o'clock, the sun sets and the moon rises, and the lights are on.

Xinjingji did not become lonely, but became even more popular.

Compared to the serious commercial streets during the day, Shinkyogoku at night is a world of izakayas, bars, KTVs, and custom shops.

Some shops that are closed during the day have started to work one after another, absorbing money and money.

Kyoko followed Uesugi Kiyoshi for a long time, and finally came back to her senses.

She asked suspiciously, "Uesugi-kun, where are we going?" ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly, staring at the girl in front of her who was hurrying in her footsteps, and spoke quietly.

"We..."

"To witness the transformation of the poor man in a desperate situation."
