I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 163 One Slash Slays the Red Demon! Hannya's Quality Improves, and a Mighty Teammate, Okabe Motonobu? (7.7k)

This red demon, judging from Uesugi Tetsu's aura, was almost identical to the Nue from the Yokai Guild in the present world.

In fact, the aura of the Red Demon might even be slightly stronger.

It just doesn't seem to be good at speed or very bright, which is why it was caught in a cage.

But even this two-and-a-half-star red demon was captured and placed in front of him...

It seems those old fogies sitting in the inner room really want to kill him.

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the Red Oni, who resembled a small red mountain of flesh, revealing its gleaming white fangs and exhaling scorching breath like an engine, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Keep in mind that the Warring States period was only a three-star map!

Therefore, aside from bosses and potentially hidden maps, a two-and-a-half-star character would be considered the strongest regular combat force in the Warring States period.

Uesugi Tetsu looked around, then silently looked away.

—For example, right now, there are so many people gathered around the Imagawa Mansion watching the spectacle, including samurai of considerable status and hatamoto serving as guards.

But at a glance, he could hardly sense that many people could reach the two-and-a-half-star mark.

Those hatamotos dressed in imposing black armor were only between one and a half and two stars in strength.

Needless to say, the samurai were even weaker on average than the hatamoto, who could be called "elites".

The only two samurai present who had reached the two-and-a-half-star level were Asahina Yasuyuki and his son Asahina Yasutomo, a pair of valiant warriors.

Furthermore, due to his advanced age, Asahina Tai's true strength is probably only two stars or less.

Oh... and that Hanzo from before definitely had two and a half stars, and it's even possible that he reached three stars.

As the "ancestor" and "source" of all ninjas in later generations, it is quite normal for Hattori Hanzo to be stronger.

However, Hanzo concealed his presence very well; even Uesugi Tetsu wouldn't be able to detect him unless he revealed himself.

Therefore, Uesugi Tetsuya could not be certain of the extent of Hanzo's strength.

But since these so-called elders gave him such a "generous gift" on their first meeting, he shouldn't be surprised if he returned the gift with the utmost respect.

Uesugi Tetsu has always been respectful of the elderly and kind to the young.

However, before that, we should first squeeze every last drop of value out of these elders.

The thought that the Corona Breathing Technique could be partially completed in less than a day during the Warring States period, making the training in the Flesh Palace more complete and detailed, filled Uesugi Tetsuya with a sense of great joy.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

"Two feet."

—Faced with a mere two-and-a-half-star Red Demon whose mind is not quite right and who is locked in an iron cage, Uesugi Tetsu believed that he was far from needing to take action.

These elders weren't trying to kill me with this "accident," but at the very least, they wanted to test my strength.

In that case, let Master Erchi take action.

Under the silent watchful eyes of countless people, the girl wearing a white hat and a white dress landed unexpectedly next to Uesugi Tetsuya.

Following the message from his heartstrings, the two-foot-tall man bowed slightly to Uesugi Tetsuya and said clearly and loudly, "Shikigami two-foot-tall greets Master."

These words immediately caused a dramatic change in the gazes of many, and even the expressions of the elders began to turn gloomy and complicated.

God formula?

Humanoid shikigami?

Or is it someone who possesses independent intelligence and can converse fluently?
What is Onmyoji Che planning to do now that he has summoned this tiny shikigami that is not even as long as their legs?
In an instant, many different questions arose in everyone's minds, raising their curiosity to its peak.

Even Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was practically a powder keg ready to explode at any moment, paused for a moment and silently cast a glance at him.

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the girl who was pretending to be calm but was actually extremely shy because she was the center of attention: "Nisha, go and exorcise this red demon."

Upon hearing this, the two-foot-tall boy trembled slightly, then raised his small face expressionlessly to meet Uesugi Tetsu's gaze.

That helpless and bewildered gaze clearly said, "Huh? No? I'm going to fight this red demon?"

Uesugi Tetsu blinked, his eyes tugged at his heartstrings, and said, "Of course it's not just you."

—He wouldn't put so much pressure on his own shikigami, making the two-foot-tall master, who had been a support for his entire life, go to exorcise the red demon alone with a blank set of equipment.

While it's not entirely convenient for Erchi-sama to wear the Innocent Princess here, giving Xiaojia to her shouldn't be a problem.

Uesugi Tetsu reached out and, in full view of everyone, took out the dazzling Kaga Kiyomitsu from the "void".

Then he tossed Kaga Kiyomitsu, which was more than two feet long, to the girl.

"Xiao Jia, you and Er Chi go and take down this Red Demon."

hum!
Kaga Kiyomitsu immediately sprang out a section of it with excitement, emitting a clear, sharp slashing sound that startled the girl holding it. It took her a lot of effort to press it back down.

—Uesugi Tetsu felt that Kaga Kiyomitsu must have been secretly instilled with some unusual ideas by Aoyama Yoshiaki while he was making the great sword.

Otherwise, why would she suddenly become so cheerful? There must be something fishy going on...

Kaga Kiyomitsu had no idea that his master was thinking so much.

It simply felt that it was in a better state than ever before, fast and sharp, or as Mr. Aoyama would say, "a sharp sword," and it couldn't wait to drink the blood of the demons!
This little red demon in front of me is barely qualified!
It's more like an appetizer!

The two-foot-tall woman, holding Kaga Kiyomitsu, bowed to Uesugi Tetsuya, then turned around and coldly looked at the Akaki who completely disregarded her.

Uesugi Tetsu stepped back more than ten meters, leaving the stage to the two-foot-tall man.

Upon seeing this, a hushed, complex murmur arose from the samurai and retainers who had initially been terrified by the red demon and had retreated and collapsed, but had now recovered.

"This Onmyoji is sending a little girl to fight that demon alone? Is he really that scared? That's so un-samurai-like!"

"Hey, what are you talking about? They're not samurai."

"But even if he's not a samurai, he's still a man...!"

"It's too cruel, I don't want to watch anymore."

"So this is what the so-called Onmyoji are like..."

Among the onlookers, apart from Bai Shi, almost no one believed that the two-foot-tall man could exorcise the red demon.

Or rather, no one believed that the two-foot-tall man could withstand more than a few moves from the Red Demon.

After all, the size difference between the two is simply too great.

The girl in white was less than three feet tall, but even though the red demon was huddled in the iron cage, his height was more than seven feet!
Even a single red demon would weigh as much as dozens of girls!
—The “ruler” here refers to the “Goguryeo ruler” commonly used in Japan’s Sengoku period, which is different from the modern 0.33 meters and is only about 0.27 meters long.

"There's something wrong with that katana."

Among the elders of the family, some keenly noticed that Kaga Kiyomitsu was different.

After a moment of silence, the hoarse voice slowly said, "That is a weapon with a spirit, far more powerful than ordinary weapons."

"I saw it once when I went to the Takeda clan, and it was only that one time."

Presumably, this is why Lord Che dared to send his little shikigami to deal with the demons alone.

So the elders, with their eyes filled with a degree of greed, all turned their gazes toward Kaga Kiyomitsu once again.

Kaga Kiyomitsu, however, did not indulge them.

It popped out with a "clang," immediately piercing the gazes that seemed like greasy, invisible hands groping all over it.

The elders squinted in pain, but deep down they became even more interested in the vermilion, spiritually potent katana.

Such a weapon... it seems a bit of a waste to place it in the hands of a mere Onmyoji who is physically weak and has never even practiced breathing techniques.

"Lord Kaga, please stop joking around."

The young master muttered something nervously and pressed Kaga Kiyomitsu back down.

She whispered, "We'll have to rely on you a lot to deal with this red demon later."

hum~
Kaga Kiyomitsu trembled slightly before falling silent.

It felt like an older brother patted his chest and said, "You can trust me with everything."

Wow…

Numerous vines and branches began to spread gradually from the surrounding area.

Then, they surrounded the two-foot-tall man and the red demon in the iron cage, forcibly raising them to form a makeshift small arena.

This was both to prevent the Red Demon from running amok and to prevent the ground and buildings of the Imagawa residence from being damaged in the upcoming battle between the two, thus taking into account Imagawa Yoshimoto's feelings.

After showing off his skills, Uesugi Tetsu lowered his hand, which was flashing with basic Yin-Yang techniques, and nodded to the somewhat apprehensive-looking Second Master.

"call……"

The two-foot-tall man let out a soft breath and tightened his embrace around Kaga Kiyomitsu.

Although he had experience going up into the ring with Uesugi Tetsu before, this was the first time that Ersha-sama had gone up into the ring as the "protagonist".

So, it's understandable that I was a little nervous.

Erchi silently recited the precautions Uesugi Tetsu had mentioned several times, and used the "Phantom Weapon" talent to generate a device under his feet that could increase his movement speed.

Lord Che said that there was no need for armor; all that was needed was to prevent this clumsy red demon from hitting him.

Then, whatever method you use, as long as you win, it doesn't matter if it takes a long time. The first thing to ensure is her own safety.

Even a grown man like Erchi has his own little selfish desires.

—Because, in front of so many people, she didn't want to embarrass Lord Che.

"Lord Kaga."

The girl whispered to Kaga Kiyomitsu in her arms, and Kaga Kiyomitsu, sensing her thoughts and emotions, responded happily with a tremor.

The two-foot-tall woman silently raised her gaze, looking up at the red demon who hadn't even considered her presence.

She gripped the hilt of Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword tightly.

—Then let's finish off this red demon with a single sword strike!

"Hatata-sama."

The girl bowed slightly to the nearest black-armored flag bearer, her voice soft and polite: "Could you please open this cage for me?"

"Open it for her."

Before the two halberds could make a difficult decision in their hearts, Imagawa Yoshimoto's voice came over.

Black Armor Flagbone immediately stepped forward, took out a key, and quickly unlocked the huge iron cage, which was as big as an adult's fist.

pat.

The iron chains fell, causing the onlookers to instinctively take a half-step back, their arms and legs feeling weak.

The heavy iron gate slowly opened outwards with extremely slight inertia, emitting a teeth-grinding creak.

Even after the door was opened, the red demon inside the iron cage did not move an inch.

Instead, he remained silent, bowing his head, staring intently at the Onmyoji Che who had retreated dozens of meters away!
Like an enemy!

This action was quickly noticed by the local residents and elders.

Inside the inner room, an old man sighed.
"It seems that Lord Che is indeed a man of astonishing cultivation. That demon has not taken its eyes off him for a moment since it opened its eyes."

In a sense, the elders' attempt was successful, but only half successful.

Because the strength of this Onmyoji, Che, who seemed to have suddenly grown out of the ground, far exceeded their expectations.

However, this cannot be confirmed at present.

Some of the elders shifted their gaze to the small figure standing in front of the Red Demon.

How they should treat this "Che" depends on what this little white-dressed shikigami can do.

—Amidst the heavy breathing of the Red Demon, the two-foot-tall man slowly pulled out Kaga Kiyomitsu from his hand.

A wisp of pale color dripped from the tip of the blade, instantly spreading the domain of sorrowful parting across the entire vine-covered arena.

In an instant, the Red Demon felt a greater threat than the man standing far away in the shade of the tree!

It instinctively growled, its muscles bulging with blood, and quickly looked down in front of it.

He met the indifferent gaze of the two-foot-tall man.

"Roar--!"

In that instant, the hairs on the Red Demon's body stood on end, and his pupils shrank sharply.

It immediately wanted to rush out of the iron cage that could still defend against external attacks, and then punch the little guy into a meat patty!
But it's too late.

The two-foot-tall man had already made thorough preparations, and Kaga Kiyomitsu, capable of killing with a single blow, had already aimed at the Red Oni's vitals and was ready to strike.

Red Demon, however, only started paying attention to this little guy a moment ago.

call out!
A sharp, explosive sound, as if tearing through the air, suddenly rang out.

In the hands of the two-foot-tall man, Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword blade transformed into a pure white thread that flashed past, intertwining with the clear sunlight.

The red demon's hoarse roar seemed to have been abruptly cut off.

Stopped abruptly.

pat.

A torrent of red and white blood gushed out, and the girl landed lightly on her feet.

Behind the girl, who was no more than two feet tall, stood a massive red demon, as large as a small mountain, before collapsing to the ground with a crash.

split into two.

"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being too stupid."

The two-foot-tall man murmured, using even more force to cover his trembling right hand, and took several deep breaths to stabilize his soaring heart rate.

—If this Red Demon had paid even a moment's attention to her before, or spared even a fraction of Lord Che's attention for her, she wouldn't have been able to kill him so easily.

If the Red Oni regarded her as a formidable enemy, Lady Two-Foot almost never believed she could win, even with Kaga Kiyomitsu, who could finish off her opponent with a single strike.

The Red Demon paid the price for its arrogance.

Your shikigami "Yasata no Oni" has slain a two-and-a-half-star demon, the Red Oni, and you have gained 307 Soul Ash!

[Your shikigami "Yasata-onna" used Kaga Kiyomitsu's "Farewell Blade" to slay the Red Oni. Kaga Kiyomitsu's quality has been slightly improved.] [You have obtained the Red Oni Horn!]

As the two-foot-tall woman sheathed Kaga Kiyomitsu, who was greedily absorbing the blood of the Red Demon, she saw Uesugi Tetsu not far away give her a thumbs-up with a slightly surprised expression.

The girl blinked, and while letting out a sigh of relief, she mentally raised her hand and cheered loudly.

The surroundings were completely silent, both among the onlookers and inside the house.

You can hear the needle drop.

The samurai gaped, their jaws agape in shock, as if they wanted to rip their jaws off and drop them on the ground. Even the black-armored hatamoto who had captured the red demon instinctively rubbed their eyes, thinking they were seeing things.

The elders remained silent.

—This red demon was someone they had managed to trick into the iron cage after losing many men.

But now, he was actually killed by a single slash from a little shikigami under the command of the Onmyoji Che?
Considering the fact that the red demon was staring intently at him just now, wouldn't the Onmyoji Che be far stronger than his shikigami?
Something's not right.

They seriously misjudged Che's strength!
This Onmyoji, Che, may be stronger than anyone in the Imagawa family!
So from this moment on, the nature of things began to change.

Regret and heartache flashed in the eyes of many elders, who began to calculate how much money they would have to spend and how many benefits they would have to bribe the Onmyoji so that he would "forget" what had happened that day.

Imagawa Yoshimoto caught a glimpse of the slight change in the old men's expressions out of the corner of his eye, and inwardly sneered disdainfully.

Things have come to this point, so how can things possibly proceed as you expect?

Chejun is not the kind of short-sighted person who would be blinded by immediate gains.

She stood up from her seat, was the first to clap, and shouted at the top of her lungs,
"Excellent! As expected of Mr. Che's shikigami, he has such talent at such a young age!"

clap clap clap!
Following closely behind Imagawa Yoshimoto, the elders in the inner room also stood up and applauded together.

Then, cheers and shouts erupted from the surrounding samurai and hatamoto—they always held the strong in high esteem, regardless of their previous attitude.

Shiraishi, who clapped along with everyone else, touched his slightly swollen belly and thought to himself that he was glad he had behaved himself back then.

Otherwise... their fate would probably be the same as this red demon's, broken into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

Amidst enthusiastic applause, the two-foot-tall man stepped over the massive corpse of the Red Demon, then descended the stage and walked step by step to Uesugi Tetsuya's side, bowing his head and saying...

"Lord Che, I have not failed you."

"well done."

Uesugi Tetsu first patted the girl's spotless white hat, then twirled a strand of her hair with his fingers and chuckled softly, "This time it's all thanks to you again, Nisha."

"Choosing to form a contract with you back then was definitely the right decision."

The girl lowered her head, her face, which had been expressionless just moments before, was now flushed red.

Having said that, Uesugi Tetsu turned around, grinned at the remaining elders, and asked with a delighted yet irritating smile,
"My lords, how is it? Is the strength of my shikigami still barely passable?"

silence.

But after a moment of silence, one of the eldest brothers burst out laughing: "Good! Good! Good!"

"As expected of the great Onmyoji favored by the master, his strength is truly unfathomable!"

Uesugi Tetsuya did not object when he heard the title "Great Onmyoji" again.

There was no need to refute it, as even these elders probably hadn't seen many living Onmyoji in their entire lives.

Moreover, it's hard to say whether there were any great Yin-Yang masters of god-like status even in those remote mountain villages during the Warring States period.

In this situation, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to be called a great Onmyoji.

"Then," Uesugi Tetsu asked, fanning himself as if suddenly remembering something, "the elders promised to observe the breathing techniques..."

The elders immediately replied,

"Your Excellency Che, you set the time!"

"You can watch it for as long as you want!"

"It's no problem for me to take you down now!"

"There's no need to go now. Breathing techniques aren't anything particularly important to Che."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded slightly: "I only need to know that this matter is true."

The elders all agreed.

On the side, under another patch of shade.

Asahina Yasutaka stared blankly at the elders whose attitudes had changed so drastically.

He clenched his fists tightly, and when he looked at the handsome Onmyoji again, he no longer felt the contempt he had felt before.

Ever since witnessing the ability to manipulate objects from thin air, control vines, conjure people from nothing, and the girl's feat of slaying a demon with a single strike, Asahina Yasutaka has completely come to believe that Uesugi Tetsu is a powerful Onmyoji.

They are not some charlatans who deceive the authorities or steal fame.

Because the demon's immense power is beyond doubt.

Even he would probably have to go through a tough battle to defeat this crimson demon.

But now, a little girl shikigami under Che's command easily killed this demon with a single strike.

She doesn't even know any swordsmanship!

If even a subordinate shikigami can do this, what about its master?

Asahina Yasutomo took a deep breath and reluctantly admitted to himself:
—I am not as good as him!

The young man closed his eyes, somewhat reluctantly admitting that he was impressed by Uesugi Tetsu's formidable strength.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with his previous questioning and probing approach and attitude.

Because he genuinely believed that his actions were for the good of his lord, Imagawa Yoshimoto, and that they would help her eliminate the incompetent people around her.

Moreover, if the person being tested has the ability, the test will fall apart on its own—just like this time.

Only the weak dare not accept trials.

As for offending colleagues, that doesn't matter.

If I can exchange being disliked for having a wealth of talented people around my lord, then it's all worth it.

Asahina Yasutomo is that kind of person.

He is straightforward in nature and his thinking is also straightforward.

He had previously felt unconvinced by Motonobu Okabe, and after experiencing a series of setbacks, he was eventually deeply impressed and became a devoted fan.

—By the way, if Mr. Che is an Onmyoji, it seems we could ask him to help solve Yuanxin's recent sleep problems.

Well, it’s decided.

I'll go apologize to Mr. Che later and admit my mistake!
Asahina Yasutomo gritted his teeth and thought to himself,
For this reason, he would not hesitate to bow deeply, serve as a slave, or even give his most beloved sword to Uesugi Tetsuya!
……

Uesugi Tetsu felt the intense gaze of Asahina Yasutaka in the distance and didn't quite understand what the kid was thinking.

However, Uesugi Tetsu didn't blame him. After all, it wasn't his fault for training his muscles to the point of brainwashing and then being used as a tool by these shrewd old guys.

Moreover, in reality, Asahina Yasutomo hadn't done anything wrong... and he seemed to have repented in his heart.

Let's just let this matter drop.

He focused his gaze on the "Red Demon Horns" notification that had just appeared, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

【Red Demon Horns】

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect 1: Direct consumption. After consumption, it slightly increases physique and willpower, and grants the talent "Rage".]

[Rage: Can be used after being severely injured. Greatly increases current physical strength, but greatly reduces intelligence.]

The first effect is self-explanatory: it slightly increases two-dimensional attributes, and then grants a talent whose side effects far outweigh the buff.

The key is effect two.

[Effect 2: Fuse it with the Demon Incarnation - Prajna to slightly improve the quality of the incarnation.]

[Note: This effect is hidden.]

[—The horn of the Crimson Demon, which has lived for a hundred years. It contains the rage, the suffering, and the resentment of its entire life.]

Items that can improve the quality of demon incarnations have been unseen for a long time.

Although he knew it was unlikely, Uesugi Tetsuya still did not use it in front of everyone in order to prevent the Prajna incarnation from making any strange noises when it devoured the Red Oni's horns.

"Alright, this matter should be settled for today."

Imagawa Yoshimoto spoke, interrupting the lively atmosphere and the sparse applause, bringing the surroundings back to silence.

She strolled over to Uesugi Tetsuya's side and took a deep look at the two-foot-tall man holding the sword in his arms.

The girl gestured with her chin toward the two of them: "Let's go."

Then Imagawa Yoshimoto turned around, his voice somewhat cold: "Remember to clean this place up. I don't want to see it like this again next time I come here."

Everyone fell silent, knowing that Imagawa Yoshimoto was angry.

Normally, she rarely showed a cold face to the retainers in the Imagawa residence.

After saying that, she led Uesugi Tetsuya and the other man forward.

Seeing that Uesugi Tetsuya had left, Asahina Yasutomo, disregarding his father's instructions to him, took off running after him.

Amidst the crowd, Shiraishi glanced at the departing figures of several people, then at the crimson demon's corpse that had crushed the vine-covered arena, and silently gripped the seaweed rice ball in his pocket.

Even the most inconspicuous little girl next to the boss can easily slay evil spirits...

Can someone like me, who is illiterate, can't beat ordinary samurai, and can't help the boss anywhere, really stay by the boss's side with a clear conscience and enjoy the blessings the boss brings?

Bai Shi has the idea of ​​repaying a debt of gratitude.

But he was surprised to find that Uesugi Tetsuya didn't seem to need his help at all.

Now that we're in the Imagawa family, if there's anything you don't understand, the boss can naturally ask Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Could he possibly be more learned than Imagawa Yoshimoto or even Taigen Sessai?

As a result, even his most valuable role as an intelligence strategist seems to have become less important.

Suddenly, a sense of tension, of being abandoned once again, welled up in Shiraishi's heart.

Left with no other choice, he could only channel his tension into his appetite, taking out the two remaining seaweed rice balls from his pocket that he had prepared for lunch and stuffing them into his mouth!
Then, unsurprisingly, I fainted from carbon monoxide poisoning.

……

[Your Late Muromachi Period/Warring States Period reputation +300! ]

After walking with Imagawa Yoshimoto for a short while, Uesugi Tetsu saw this notification pop up.

He thought to himself, "Oh," surprised that the reputation feedback came so quickly this time.

Perhaps it was because the crowds who gathered at the Imagawa Museum were all of relatively high social status?

Uesugi Tetsu heard a slight change in the rhythm of the girl's breathing beside him.

So he looked away from the prompt, turned his head and opened his mouth.

He then noticed that Imagawa Yoshimoto had also opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"You should speak first."

"You should speak first."

The two were taken aback, then stopped in their tracks.

"Then I will..."

"Then I will..."

With a helpless smile, Imagawa Yoshimoto raised his finger and placed it in front of Uesugi Tetsuya's lips.

“Che-jun”.

She smiled and said, "In that case, let me go first."

However, before Imagawa Yoshimoto could speak, hurried footsteps came from behind.

She turned around, tilted her head noncommittally, and took a half-step back.

"It seems that the Thai dynasty has something it wants to tell you urgently."

Uesugi Tetsu responded, then turned around and saw Asahina Yasutomo striding over. Asahina first bowed deeply to him, at an angle far exceeding ninety degrees.

"Mr. Che! I was too abrupt earlier!"

He roared, "Now, the Thai Dynasty is here to apologize to you! If you have any needs, please feel free to ask, and the Thai Dynasty will do its best!"

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head and helped him up, then gently said to the astonished young man, "Lord Asahina did nothing wrong by thinking of Lord Yoshimoto's best interests, so why should you apologize?"

"Mr. Che..."

Asahina Yasuo grasped his hand tightly, her eyes sparkling as if she had met a kindred spirit.

But disregarding the fact that he had just been forgiven, and risking being disliked by Uesugi Tetsuya, he blurted out like a complete idiot.

"Mr. Che, lately Lord Yuanxin has been waking up in the middle of the night repeatedly without knowing why. I suspect it is the work of unseen demons or ghosts. Would you be so kind as to take a look yourself..."

Yuan Xin?

Motonobu Okabe?

Uesugi Tetsuya was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

This man is a pillar of the Imagawa family.

Historically, after Imagawa Yoshimoto's defeat at Okehazama, it was this fierce general, known for his blind loyalty, who personally brought back the severed head that had been left outside.

A deep sense of anticipation and curiosity welled up in Uesugi Tetsu's eyes.

I wonder what kind of tough guy this Motonobu Okabe is!
