When Uesugi Kiyoshi returned home, he could already smell the aroma of food.

He is still living in the apartment of the Collectibles Society for the time being, and the dojo that belongs to him has been cleaned by someone, and it should be possible to move in in a few days.

Kyoko Nohara stepped on a small bench, busy in the kitchen, heard the door opener, hurriedly turned back, and after seeing the face she wanted to see, she gave Uesugi Kiyoshi a sweet smile and said softly: "Welcome back, Uesugi-kun - dinner will be right away, please wait a while." ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at Nohara Kyoko with some confusion, then looked at the wall clock on the wall, and said suspiciously: "Kyoko, is school out so early today?" ”

He has no plans to go to school recently, and took the opportunity of the injury to recuperate at home, although he is still a little obsessed with the diploma, but the memory strengthened by the mirage makes him not afraid of any exams at all.

Kyoko Nohara is different, this little girl is obsessed with going to school.

What Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't know is that in Nohara Kyoko's heart, as long as she gets better, she can be worthy of the excellent Uesugi-kun - the graduation certificate of a prestigious school, which is also indispensable.

This is not a very excessive request, Uesugi Kiyoshi thought about it for a while, and then made a decision, he asked Akutagawa Ryunosuke to find someone to transfer Nohara Kyoko to the girls' school where Rin Kamiizumi was, and asked Rin to help take care of her.

After all, Nohara Kyoko is the existence of a demon spirit, who knows if it will attract something strange to the door.

With Rin by his side, nothing should happen.

Rin Kamiizumi agreed very happily, the current Nohara Apricot in her eyes, is a walking food machine, these days, her mouth has long been raised by Nohara Apricot, every day shouting that she has a "disease that will die if you don't eat the dishes made by apricots", for the safety of Nohara Apricot, she is more concerned than anyone else.

Of course, rubbing rice has become a reason for her to stay here and not leave.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't feel anything wrong, this apartment was very big, not his small snail house before, there were many rooms, and there would be no embarrassing scenes of living together, and Arin also helped him block a lot of ghosts and gods, and even split the body of the Ibaraki boy alive, and it was also something that should be done to give her some delicious food.

"Ah, the school is on holiday, because the rain is too heavy, I don't have to go to school next week, and I have to wait for the notice when classes will resume."

Sitting on the sofa watching TV, Rin Kamiizumi looked at the kitchen and rushed to answer the question.

"Is it all affecting the normal class..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder the government can't sit still, schools are forced to close by the torrential rain, and factories and businesses will all close down in the next step.

Moreover, if the water level of Arakawa really rises and a flood occurs, it will be a rare disaster for the entire Kanto Plain.

With a heavier face, Uesugi Kiyoshi habitually came to the sofa and sat down.

Rin Kamiizumi held a plate of snacks and held it in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi like a treasure.

"Qing, try this, it tastes very good~"

"It was given by the white-haired grandfather."

Kiyoshi Uesugi instantly appeared in front of his eyes, and the figure of Mitsushi Ueno appeared.

"Was it sent by Ueno-senpai?" He took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and it tasted really good.

Kyoko Nohara, who was already putting dishes on the dining table, took over the conversation in a low voice and affirmed: "Yes, Uesugi-kun, Ueno-san is very good, and often sends us some gifts, and the daily necessities we lack are also troublesome for him to help buy them back, and he also came forward to handle the transfer of schools." ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded thoughtfully, and did not delve into this topic.

After dinner, he sat cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his mind gradually sinking into the dream mirror.

Returning to the familiar mirage building, he stood in front of his statue and meditated for a long time, but he still hadn't figured out the use of this "step to ascend to the gods".

"I can feel the unusual power inside..."

"But why can't you use it?"

He muttered to himself, looked blankly at the Hundred Ghost Scroll, and then looked at his own statue, his expression very distressed.

"What? Don't you even know how to use this thing? ”

"He didn't leave you an instruction manual?"

A slightly sarcastic male voice echoed in the mirage building, and Uesugi Kiyoshi was also a little used to this elusive interjection these days.

He didn't even look back, the red-haired ghost king himself stepped out of the painting, walked up to Uesugi Kiyoshi in a few steps, stood side by side with him, looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's statue, and smiled very deeply.

Uesugi Kiyoshi shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "I'm not interested in arguing with you, if you know something, just say it quickly, if you don't want to say it, go back and stay." ”

"You know, although I can't completely destroy you, I can still seal you in the painting."

The wine swallowing boy frowned, a little helpless, he had never tasted this feeling of being under the fence.

However, for some reason, he can only maintain the status quo now.

"This idol is to be used in conjunction with the Hundred Ghost Scrolls."

"Hey, Uesugi, let's make a deal."

"After staying here for a few days, Uncle Ben's whole body is going to rust - I'll tell you how to use this, if you encounter an enemy, you might as well let me go out and let it go."

"Call me to my true body, draw my soul - you can do it, right?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi can do it, but it's a very dangerous thing to do.

After devouring the spirit of the Wine Swallowing Boy, Uesugi Kiyoshi can briefly summon the Wine Swallowing Boy to descend on him, thus using a portion of his power.

But he never tried it.

It's too dangerous...

That's the ghost king who used to be his enemy, acting rashly, who knows if something will go wrong.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned and thought for a while, shaking his head slightly.

"There's no way I'm going to let you possess me, but I have another way."

"I can show you up to fight in this world."

"If you believe me, the deal will be done, and if you don't, then there's no need to talk about it."

The drunken boy nodded indifferently.

"You don't look like a liar."

"Listen, this is the step to ascend to the gods."

"The so-called gods must have the support of believers, and without believers' gods, it is incomplete."

"This idol is like a beacon."

"In the sea of dream mirrors, the beacon that guides the minds of believers and comes to you."

"But... Your idol should have something else to do. ”

"It stands to reason that you inherited the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll, and you also inherited the Hundred Ghost Night Walk behind that person."

"Then, the ghosts and gods on this picture scroll should all be your believers."

"Sink your mind and use the idol as a medium to contact the demon spirit."

"You'll understand..."

"Why is this called the Ladder of Ascending God!"
