Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 50 Mission: 06-3 Trap Operation
The Dragon of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin, whose original name was Nagao Kagetora, also came from the Warring States Period of Japan. He was a famous military commander known as the God of War.

However, for Izumo Okuni, this celebrity who died young passed away when she was only six years old. Although the two were born in the same era, they never had the opportunity to meet.

Therefore, if we say that Yun Aguo admired Kenshin Uesugi and hoped to get his autograph after being summoned... that would be reasonable, right?
After all, the Dragon of Echigo was not only a military commander, he also had great attainments in literature, and many of his calligraphy works have been passed down to later generations.

"Is that so?" Ritsuka scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "So, the heroic spirit that just left was the famous Uesugi Kenshin?"

"Yes."

Ah Guo adjusted her stance and folded the naginata in her arms, the discontent still lingering on her face. Her cheeks puffed slightly, and she could even hint at a hint of coquettishness.

Nero sighed and turned his head to look back: "Even though you say that, you can't catch up with him at all."

"what."

A faint blush crept across Aguo's face as she tried to make a false argument, only to be exposed. She blinked, her expression instantly changing to one of pity, her weapon cradled in a somewhat timid manner. "But...but there's nothing else we can do. Lady Uesugi runs away as soon as she sees us, not even giving us a chance to speak..."

Nero was once again speechless at this woman who could change her expression. She turned to look at Ritsuka and asked, "What should we do? Should we help her?"

"Compared to this, I'd rather know how she was able to make that God of War run away the moment he saw her..."

Facing Ritsuka's question, Aguo's face turned redder, looking particularly attractive: "I don't know~ Maybe, maybe I was too enthusiastic when we first met?"

Everyone fell silent. A cool breeze blew across the grassland, making Nero and Ritsuka shiver.

Nero sighed that the style of the painting had changed since the appearance of this heroic spirit, and took the initiative to say, "We have something we would like to ask for your help."

"What help?" Aguo's eyes became sharp again, and he pursed his lips and whispered, "The most important thing for me right now is to get Lord Uesugi's signature! Before that, everything else is off the table."

That was all he could do. Ritsuka could only reply, "We'll get you the autograph you want, but in return, could you please listen to our requests?"

One promise for another, that's reasonable.

"Okay!"

In an instant, Ah Guo's expression changed again, and he put on a bright smile and threw a wink at Li Xiang: "Tell me, is there anything you want me to help you with?"

Izumo Akuni, what a terrifying woman.

Nero shook his head, sighing inwardly. Although the Heroic Spirit before him was dressed in a conservative and plain miko costume, every movement was like a coquettish act, as if trying to seduce others.

What's even scarier is that even so, she doesn't give Nero an annoying "contrived" feeling. Even though Nero knows in his heart that she is probably acting, he can't really hate her.

Izumo Akuni, what a terrifying woman.

But at least she could be a helper. Ritsuka had already started explaining the matter of the sealed cave, and Okuni nodded while listening.

After hearing what Ritsuka said, Aguo tilted his head and smiled, "It sounds like it shouldn't be difficult, but I still have to see it with my own eyes to know for sure."

"That's good," Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief. Nero then threw a cold water on the situation: "But how can we capture the cavalry known as the God of War? In terms of speed, none of us can match that chariot, right?"

This question gave Lixiang a heads-up. She asked Aguo, "Miss Aguo, what is your rank? A cavalryman?"

Aguo danced with the naginata in his hand behind him, his white sleeves blooming like petals: "No, no, we are spearmen."

That can't be called martial arts, it can only be called dance. As the ancestor of Kabuki, Okuni's spear dance is indeed pleasing to the eye. Ritsuka asked again, "What was that horse before?"

"Of course it's a prop used on stage, right?"

This answer stunned Nero and Ritsuka. Seeing their expressions, Okuni chuckled and summoned it again. "I'm not kidding, we do use this thing as a stage prop. But it's also a puppet shikigami used by us miko."

The small wooden box quickly unfolded on the ground and turned into a pitch-black wooden horse, standing there motionless, with no sign that it could run across the grassland.

After a closer look, Nero discovered that there were indeed a few talismans on the wooden horse, but they were not very obvious.

"But this guy still can't catch up with Uesugi Kenshin." Nero mercilessly poked Aguo's scar again.

"Hey, long-winded!"

Aguo hugged the horse's neck and made a face at Nero with red cheeks.

So, the war meeting was held again. This time, the discussion was about how to capture the military god Uesugi Kenshin.

Since a speed contest was definitely not an option, the only option left was to use traps, and the placement of the traps also deserved careful consideration.

Because the premise of trap operations is to know Uesugi Kenshin's route in advance. In this regard, the only person who may have some knowledge is Akuni.

During the discussion, the plan soon took shape.

First, Izumo Okuni would follow the chariot tracks as before. Then, once Ritsuka and the others were in position, they would start the chase again, trapping the God of War in a trap.

Then Nero was responsible for bringing down the God of War, and then Ritsuka came forward to appease the other party and let him join. Finally, Aguo got the signature he wanted. Perfect!
Indeed, this was also a key reason why Ritsuka was willing to help Okuni. Now that they had found a lone Heroic Spirit, they couldn't just let it go. Even if they didn't want to join, they had to fight for it first.

The action begins.

The traces of Uesugi Kenshin's chariot were clearly visible on the grasslands, a key reason why the military god, no matter how fast he ran, couldn't completely shake off Izumo Akuni. Since being summoned to this singularity, Uesugi Kenshin had been circling the grasslands since the first day he met Akuni.

There was no other way. The singularity was so small, and a chariot wasn't suitable for driving through the forest. If you accidentally ran into one, you'd easily be caught up by Aguo's mechanical horses.

Therefore, neither of them left the plains south of the town. If Ritsuka and the others hadn't received the Sphinx's warning, the chase would probably have continued.

Wearing armor and standing beside his beloved horse, Kenshin Uesugi shuddered when he thought of the woman chasing him.
