Chapter 5: Narukami Sword Qi
Uesugi Kiyoshi thought for a moment about Tofumi Maki's request and nodded happily.
As long as there is no problem on the side of the Dongwen Society, of course he has no problem.
When he went to Kyoto, he mostly had to fight, and he secretly felt that he would meet a lot of "old friends".
Then the more people who accompany you, the stronger you are, the better.
Besides, Dongwen Maki is among the Hundred Ghost Picture Scrolls, and she is the reincarnation of the Demon Sword Ji trusted by the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts, and Uesugi Kiyoshi naturally has no reason to refuse her.
She's pretty good at it now.
Moreover, maybe if she goes to Kyoto, Maki can awaken some memories of her past life like her?
It's all something that can't be said for sure.
He's always had this thought, you see, the Lord of Arakawa is also reincarnated, and as a result, he remembers him, and Kyoko and Maki forget it all about it, which doesn't make sense.
So, these may be recoverable.
Of course, Uesugi Kiyoshi has no intention of forcing this to do this, so let it be...
Now, he is surrounded by Kyoko Nohara and Maki Higashifumi, not Apricot, and Achi.
The past life and this life have been separated from each other.
"Okay, then you can take care of the affairs of the Dongwen Society, and come to me tomorrow morning."
"I'll leave around seven, don't be late."
After a few words, Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't talk about this topic anymore.
He was pulling the rice over and over again, thinking about the memories of the unsealing in the past few days, as well as the sudden accident in Kyoto, and he was a little distracted for a while.
...
The next day, early in the morning.
Kiyoshi Uesugi sat in the passenger seat of the business car, closing his eyes and recuperating.
In the back seat of the car sat Kyoko Nohara and Maki Higashifumi.
Everyone is a very punctual person, and the convoy arranged by Ueno Sanshi started slowly at seven o'clock.
From Tokyo to Kyoto, it takes about 500 kilometers to walk, and if you take a car, it will take about seven or eight hours, and even if you drive fast, it will take you five or six hours.
If you go on a regular basis, it is much faster to take the Shinkansen or take a plane directly, but there are many equipment that cannot enter the station and airport when you go out on a business trip.
And the Collectibles Society doesn't have its own private jets, so they can only travel by car.
Knowing that she was going to Kyoto, Apricot who could go with her was very excited, and she didn't sleep much all night, and she packed a few big bags just to pack her things, and Uesugi Kiyoshi also doted on her, not only didn't say anything, but also arranged a few more cars, and stuffed the little white rabbit's luggage into it.
Kyoko grew up in Hokkaido since she was a child, and then came to Tokyo to go to school, and she has never been anywhere else, every day is the two points and one line between school and home, and since she came to Uesugi's house, it may have become a school, a supermarket, and a three-point line at home, not to mention going out to travel, she has never even been far away.
So this time she had this kind of opportunity, and she was still with Uesugi Kiyoshi, she naturally couldn't help but be excited - she had no idea about the world of the transcendent, and she didn't have any idea of Uesugi Kiyoshi's work, and she thought about it last night, and her mind turned to the matter of "newlywed trip".
That's why she woke up very tired this morning.
As soon as she got into the car, Kyoko Nohara closed her eyes uncontrollably, leaned back on the seat precariously, and soon there was an even breathing sound, and it seemed that she had fallen into a light sleep.
Higashiwen Maki is not a talkative person, but he just looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's side face and was distracted.
She hasn't been in much of a mental state lately, and for some reason, she always has some strange dreams at night.
She would dream that she was wearing some ancient armor and holding a sword the size of a wild sword, fighting wantonly in the bloody battlefield.
Stumps flew everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, people, ghosts, demons, and gods fell in front of her in pieces, and her will became more and more blurred.
Gradually, the urge to kill filled my mind.
When she was about to be unable to suppress the violent killing intent in her heart, Uesugi Kiyoshi's calm face could always appear in front of her in time, drawing an end to this nightmare.
This is actually nothing, the spiritual strength of transcendents is much more than that of mortals, and it can often be linked to the spiritual fluctuations of inexplicable ghosts and gods, especially when dreaming, it is normal to sense some chaotic pictures.
Merely... It's weird, every time I have this dream of killing, Towen Maki's swordsmanship will skyrocket at an unbelievable speed.
For the mastery of sword moves, the increase in speed and strength, and... Pure killing techniques.
It was as if it was etched in her mind, and she should have been born with these things.
Because it was too unbelievable to say it, she still held these things in her heart and didn't tell others.
This time she came to Kyoto with Uesugi Kiyoshi, and she was also going to find an opportunity to confess this matter to Uesugi Kiyoshi to see if he could help her.
The two girls in the back have their own thoughts, and Uesugi Kiyoshi will not waste a little time.
It was Mitsushi Ueno who was driving, and he was completely relieved, and when the car started slowly, his consciousness sank into the dream mirror.
In the mirage building, his figure jumped out.
He didn't go to practice his sword, nor did he take this time to familiarize himself with the sword qi he had just mastered, this time he walked directly to the front of the Hundred Ghost Scrolls-those murals, found the wild man with burgundy hair, and stopped beside him.
“...”
"I'm going to Kyoto."
As soon as these words came out, the wine-swallowing boy's eyes moved, his body twisted unnaturally, and he stepped out of the painting in one step.
He drank the wine from his own bowl, and raised his eyes and glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi.
"Why are you going there, Kyoto isn't a good place."
"Hmph..."
"It's a mixed bag, probably the place where the country's extraordinary power is most concentrated."
"A thousand years of Heianjing, is it a waste of fame?"
"It's too early for you to go, let's get stronger."
Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded thoughtfully.
"Sure enough, you seem to know something."
"One thing, you're wrong... It seems that you can't always observe the present world through me, your information is outdated. ”
Uesugi Kiyoshi flicked his sleeves, his hand and sword pointed, and his fingertips gradually sharpened.
The sharp sword qi cut through the air and hissed a chanting sound, making the wine swallowing boy frown with a look of surprise on his face.
This sword light appeared, and he felt that his cheek wanted to be pricked by a needle, and its mere existence was enough for the drunken boy to feel threatened.
“...”
"Narugami Sword Qi..."
"You..."
The wine swallowing boy and Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at each other, closed their mouths, and did not speak.
Kiyoshi Uesugi learned a new word.
"Narugami sword qi? Oh, I don't even know what it's called, you know? ”
"Tell me about it, Lord Oni."
"At the beginning, you didn't take it with you in the dream mirror, you had to use the power of the Dongwen Society, what is the reason why you want to appear in this world?"
"I don't think it's a reason to destroy Tokyo and prey on humans -- I don't think you have to live any sacrifices."
"At most, it is just to help the Dongwen Society create a group of secret rituals infused with the power of the ghosts and gods of the great rivers and mountains."
"So."
"Why did you go to such great lengths to come to this world?"
"Could it be..."
"In order to... I? ”
