No matter how hard Kiyoshi Uesugi tried, he could no longer get any information from this diary.

The cover of the diary is still a somewhat simple sword, and the first two pages inside have been turned into neat and beautiful ink characters, writing the information he has just browsed.

The pages at the back were either empty or stained with blue-black ink, a jumble of ghost drawings, and even a few pages that had been clearly torn off.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's ghost fire had been squandered, but he tried to inject a trace of mirage into this diary, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, silent.

"Is there no follow-up content anymore, or is the amount of ghost fire not enough to activate the content below?"

"Hmm... Let's try again tomorrow, it's not nothing, at least I know that the owner of this diary is the enemy of Yuan Yoriguang, his father is a prince, and he has a big brother in a high position, so the scope of selection has narrowed down a lot. ”

Throwing the diary into the mirage building, Uesugi Kiyoshi opened his eyes.

They didn't return until noon, and today is a day of travel, and now the hour hand is pointing to four o'clock in the afternoon.

Strange to say, he only read a few diaries, and the time actually passed for more than an hour.

He was now sitting on a bench at the entrance of the medical department, and from time to time there were professionals in white coats and masks coming in and out, and he casually caught one and asked a few questions, and learned that Ueno Miishi was no longer in trouble, and he was completely relieved.

The bait that was released was stared at by Yuichi Kudo, Mitsuishi Ueno was unharmed, and the drones of the Arakawa Ward Collectors Association raised the level of surveillance deployment, and everything seemed to be going according to plan.

Just as he was about to go to the Collectibles Association's cultivation ground to practice his sword for a while, and then go home for dinner, there was a somewhat noisy sound not far away.

As far as the eye can see, the leader is none other than Yuichi Kudo.

He was followed by seven or eight chirping children, all of whom had a little worry on their faces, some of whom could clearly see that they had just cried, and at the end of the line was a middle-aged woman who looked to be about forty years old.

Uesugi raised his eyebrows, stood up and stretched, and said casually, "What does this mean?" Changed careers? Kindergarten teacher Kun Kudo? ”

Kudo Yu smiled and didn't pay attention to him, but reached out to the medical department.

"Dean Akiyama, Ueno-san's injury has been stabilized, it's just an ordinary poisonous snake bite, it's not life-threatening, he's in the second ward on the left-hand side, he just had a minor operation, he's resting, you can take the children to visit."

The worry and eagerness in the expression of the middle-aged woman known as Dean Akiyama Uesugi Kiyoshi can be seen at a glance, how to say, this level of concern, he personally thinks, has gone beyond the boundaries of "ordinary friends", but he is very knowledgeable and does not say anything.

"Thank you, Kudo-kun, please come and pick us up, I'll take the children to see Ueno first, I'm too much of a disturbance."

After a few polite words, Dean Akiyama hurriedly walked into the medical office with a group of children.

When the sliding door closed completely, Yuichi Kudo sat down on the bench next to Kiyoshi Uesugi and naturally lit a cigarette.

"That's all the children adopted by Ueno's seniors, you know, he invested in building an orphanage by himself, to accommodate those orphans who lost their families in the ghost disaster, helpless, that woman is the director of the orphanage, Masako Akiyama, I sent someone to check on her at the beginning, nurse background, kind-hearted, experienced a not very happy marriage, is now divorced and single, met Ueno seniors in a community event, and volunteered to take care of the children in the orphanage, It's been five or six years now. ”

Uesugi nodded clearly, thought for a while, and his smile suddenly became a little gossipy.

"Well, can't you see it, Ueno's senpaire's masculine charm is still quite ... Isn't that amazing! I looked at the expression of the dean of Akiyama, and it seemed that Ueno-senpai was not an ordinary friend. ”

"Could it be that there is a story of sunset red in it?"

Yuichi Kudo spat out a smoke ring, and his smile gradually became subtle.

"How so... The concubine has no intention of having a lover... It's no secret anymore, hey, this Akiyama dean's hint can be seen even by the blind, but Ueno-senpai is still indifferent, I once asked him about it, and he said that he was afraid of getting involved in the ghost and god incident, and he didn't want to be involved with her too much. ”

"Kudo-kun, a person like me, I've lived for most of my life, and now I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm not going to live for a few years, my only thought now is to kill a few more ghosts and gods, save a few more people who don't deserve to die, love and love or something, it's something that young people should consider, I'm past that age, take 10,000 steps back and say, you know, how dangerous it is to do our business, I've lost my son and daughter-in-law, I don't want Akiyama-san to lose her husband one day, and even get involved in an inexplicable crisis situation... So, forget it..."

"That's what he said."

Uesugi Kiyoshi blinked, his eyes a little inexplicably emotional.

Indeed, this Ueno-senpai, like someone who would say such things, thinks about it this way... He's actually tired from life...

After smoking a cigarette, Kudo Yuichi snuffed out the cigarette butt, threw it in the trash, got up and said, "Let's go in and have a look, those prophet doctors have spoken, it should be no problem." ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not object, the two walked to the ward, knocked lightly on the door, and after getting the answer of "please come in", pushed the door and entered.

Little Lori is sitting in front of the hospital bed, and she should have learned the news that her grandfather's injuries had healed, and she rushed here as soon as possible.

A group of children surrounded Ueno Sanshi and said words of condolence, and there was some excitement and joy in the immature children's voice, and the smile on their faces was like the first sunny day after the rain, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Ueno Mitsuishi was not lying on the hospital bed, he had already put on his meticulous suit instead of a hospital gown, and his arm was splinted, but he was in good spirits, and it should be fine.

At this time, there was also a heartfelt smile on his face, looking at those children, the expression on his face was very gentle, and even the little rabbit on the side was a little jealous.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Mitsuishi Ueno quickly stood up.

"Kudo-kun, Uesugi-kun, let you worry, I'm fine, it won't affect tomorrow's work..."

Uesugi Kiyoichi waved his hand and said: "Ueno-senpai, don't think about work if you're injured, I'll give you two days off, and I'll talk about work after you've recuperated, I'm here to keep an eye on it, it's not a big problem, just wait for my call." ”

"You can rest assured, paid leave, salary will be paid."

Ueno Sanshi shirked a few words, but he couldn't resist Uesugi Kiyoshi, so he had to accept this benefit somewhat reluctantly.

"Hmm... Or if you don't go to the wild seniors, you will take the rabbit to live in the association for a few days? Wait until this is over and then go back? ”

"Apricot likes the rabbit very much, with her by her side, the rabbit won't be lonely."

"This is also convenient for the doctor to review your injury, after all, it is snake venom, and the possibility of recurrence cannot be ruled out, so it is better to be cautious."

This arrangement, Ueno Sanshi, was very persistent and did not accept it.

"Uesugi-kun, please don't worry about me, no matter what I say, I am still a swordsman, and I will not be knocked down by such a small injury, because of my delay in work, I already feel guilty, how can I still cause you any more trouble?"

“...”

"And, Uesugi-kun, you also know that Arakawa Ward is not peaceful... I'm going back to protect these kids..."

As soon as Ueno Sanshi said this, Uesugi Kiyoshi was not easy to persuade again, he originally wanted to say that he should take these children to take refuge in the association, but a transcendent organization, there are too many secrets, it is okay to let these children visit, it may not be a good thing to live for a long time, and looking at the timid look on those little faces looking at him, these children are probably quite afraid of life, and they may not be used to living here.

"Let Yuichi send someone to send you back for a while, Ueno-senpai, have a good rest, I'm here, don't worry."

After pondering for a moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi continued: "Don't blame me for being verbose, I always feel that those people from the Arakawa Sect will not be so resigned, and it is impossible for only two people to be in charge of the Arakawa District of Nuoda." ”

"Ueno-senpai, please contact me in case of danger, and I'll be there right away..."

"Hmm... If it's too late..."

"If I'm not mistaken, you and Narumi-kun are neighbors?"

"Then you might as well go to him for help."

Ueno Sanshi frowned, and said with some puzzlement: "Narumi-kun? Uesugi-kun, Narumi-kun's swordsmanship is good, and it's hard for me to win against him in normal battles, and he's a little better than me, but he's just a mortal, and he can kill that deep diver, maybe it's just a coincidence, and as you can see, he didn't completely destroy the power of that thing. ”

"Isn't that a mess for him...?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled and shook his head.

"Just mortal?"

"Hey..."

"Ueno-senpai, you usually fight, you shouldn't use extraordinary strength, right?"

Their chats did not shy away from these children, these children who have experienced the disaster of ghosts and gods are not ignorant of the transcendent world, and even among them, there are not a few who awaken transcendent powers because of this.

Hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi's question, Ueno Mishi nodded subconsciously.

Of course, you can't use extraordinary strength in ordinary battles, the "qi" of the swordsman, attached to the sword, will multiply the power of the sword that is cut out, and it is by no means something that a mortal can deal with, Ueno Sanshi and Narumi Shingo have a very close relationship, and it is not a life-and-death fight, so naturally they will not go all out.

Uesugi Kiyoichi spread his hands: "Then you might as well go back and talk to Narumi-kun again, Ueno-senpai, this time you try to use your full strength." ”

"I promise... You will also lose, and he will [slightly win]. ”

"Shingo Narumi... It's so much stronger than you think..."

"I'm quite relieved to have him take care of it."

Ueno Sanshi had a question mark on his head, but his character was not the kind of person who broke the casserole and asked to the end, so he didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

Next, Kudo Yuichi and Uesugi Kiyoshi chatted casually with Ueno Miishi, and did not continue to bother them, and left quickly.

What they don't see is... As soon as their figures disappeared outside the door, a faint purple light flashed in Ueno Mishi's eyes.

He didn't seem to notice this himself, and continued to chat with the children around him.

But in the eyes of Masako Akiyama, who was standing on the side, a worried look quietly emerged.
