Secondly, one must have the proper technique to seize the knife and exert force - Hidekawa Kamiizumi has demonstrated this move before. By combining the palms together, a fulcrum is created on the opponent's sword. Then the principle of leverage is used to use the small to defeat the big, seize the knife and kill the person - there is a science to every combination and twisting of the palms.

Third, you must have rich practical experience. When your opponent attacks you with a sword, you must at least know where his sword is going to hit you and what moves he will make next. Otherwise, as soon as you stretch out your palm, you will be chopped off by the sword's change of force, and you will die with regret.

As for these three points, what Uesugi Kiyoshi lacks is just some practical experience.

He had killed ghosts, but he had never killed a human. In the past year, the only kendo opponents he met were Kamiizumi Hidekawa and Kamiizumi Rin. Their quality was good, but their number was too small.

How can you learn the art of killing without fighting for life and death?

Therefore, the only way for him was to use the grinding technique to grind it bit by bit in the mirage.

He has perseverance, talent, and the belief to accomplish this task. Success is not difficult for him.

Now, as he walked on his way to school, he was constantly pondering the key points of the swordless technique. After practicing all night yesterday, he had already figured out some of the tricks. If he was given another day, he was confident that he could master this secret technique.

At the corner just one street away from the school, Uesugi Kiyoshi lowered his head and turned the corner. After he took a step forward, his keen five senses, which had been honed through years of sword practice, sounded an alarm to him.

There were hurried footsteps behind him, and just as he turned around, he was bumped into by a petite figure - he recognized who it was, otherwise he would have avoided the person long ago.

That was Nohara Anko, who looked flustered and walked hurriedly. For some reason, she was walking in a hurry and didn't even look at the road. As a result, when she turned the corner, she bumped into Uesugi Kiyoshi in front of her.

Nohara Anko screamed and was about to fall. The lunch box wrapped in a cute pink tablecloth in her hand was also about to fall to the side. Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed helplessly, stretched out his arms, embraced Nohara Anko in his arms, and lifted up the sword bag in his other hand. The lunch box seemed to have eyes, and the knot was caught by the wooden sword wrapped in the sword bag, thus avoiding the fate of breaking into pieces.

He was very skilled and his movements were smooth and fluid. By the time Nohara Anko reacted, Uesugi Kiyoshi had already helped her stabilize her body and handed the lunch box to her.

"Good morning, Nohara-san."

"It's not time for class yet, you don't have to be so anxious."

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled gently and greeted Nohara Anko calmly.

He still had a certain affection for this legal loli who was as weak as a little white rabbit. He was really not just attracted by her beauty. Last night he read the information about Nohara Anko provided by Kudo Yuichi several times, and felt that it was really a miracle that this little white rabbit could grow up to have such a kind and gentle character in that environment.

If it were someone else, they might have given up on themselves and completely degraded themselves - isn't that how those bad little girls who engage in paid dating and drug use came about?

Some may be oppressed by the dark reality to the point of committing suicide and giving up their own lives. This is not alarmist. There is no need to explain the suicide rate of Japanese people. Those who understand will understand.

Since she has grown up so tenaciously, it is his duty to lend a hand. He doesn't know how to take back Yingcao's spirit yet! He can't just ignore it!

Just as he was looking at Nohara Anko with a smile, suddenly, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then his face became gloomy.

Do not know why

In his "mind's eye" sight.

There was a faint but real mirage wrapped around Nohara Anko's body!

Chapter 19 Rooftop

"Mirage" is just the name that Uesugi Kiyoshi gave himself based on the mirage tower.

To be honest, it would be more appropriate to call that strange black mist "ghost energy".

Because Uesugi Kiyoshi had never seen mirage on a living person, nor on a dead person, he could not make an accurate judgment.

Whenever mirage appears, it is bound to be related to the ghost realm.

Uesugi Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes and glanced around the surroundings, feeling a little confused - this is not a ghost town.

Why did Nohara Anzi become covered in mirage after just one night's absence?

Could it be a demonic spirit?

Well, this is something to keep in mind!

Before he could open his mouth to ask, Nohara Anko came to her senses first. She found that the person she bumped into was Uesugi Kiyoshi again. Her original panic subsided a lot. Looking at the gentle smile on that pretty face like the spring breeze, she even forgot some of the panic she had experienced last night.

Nohara Anzi looked around. It was already quite late and there weren't many classmates on the road, so not many people were paying attention to this place.

Is now the best time to hand over the lunch box to Uesugi-kun? !

There will definitely be a lot of people watching me when I get to school, and it certainly won’t be possible during breaks. If I delay any longer, it will be noon, and all my efforts will be in vain.

Be strong, Xingzi, this is a meeting arranged by fate!

Nohara Anzi didn't know where she got the courage from, but she put all irrelevant thoughts behind her. She took a small step back and bowed deeply.

"Uesugi-san, I'm sorry, I-I didn't pay attention to the road!"

"And more!"

"This is a thank you gift to Uesugi-san for saving me!"

Nohara Anko lowered her head, held high the cute lunch box wrapped in a pink tablecloth in her hand, and placed it in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was a little amused and said, "Girl, do you know that you might be haunted by an evil ghost? Is now the time to give you a thank you gift?"

A weak little white rabbit like you will be eaten by those evil ghosts in one bite, and there will probably not be even a bone left.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that this was not the place to ask such questions casually. He frowned and thought for a few seconds, but did not take the lunch box, nor did he refuse it.

"I didn't save you for a thank-you gift, Nohara-san. I hope you don't misunderstand me."

Nohara Anzi raised her eyes hurriedly and shook her head helplessly.

"No! That's not what I meant. I just wanted to thank Uesugi-san!"

"me."

"I don't have money to buy a decent gift, and I don't know what Uesugi-san likes."

“I don’t have any high-end ingredients at home, so the bento is not very expensive, but I really put a lot of effort into making it.”

Nohara Anko's voice gradually became low, and the more she spoke, the less confident she became. It was Uesugi Kiyoshi who saved her from that gang of bad guys, so was she going to repay him with such a cheap lunch box?

It's a bit out of character.

Uesugi Kiyoshi certainly did not mean to look down on Nohara Kyoko. On the contrary, he quite benefited from it. He always followed the principle of "there is no reward without hard work" in his dealings with people. He helped Nohara Kyoko and received a thank-you gift. Even though it was not something valuable, he was very satisfied because the gift was thoughtful.

People who are ungrateful are not worthy of help.

It is easy to become ungrateful and raise an ungrateful person.

Uesugi Kiyoshi tilted his head and thought for a moment before asking, "So, where's your lunch box, Nohara-san?"

Nohara Anko seemed to have not expected Uesugi Kiyoshi to ask this question, and was a little speechless. She hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"I don't have the habit of bringing a lunch box. I just need to go to the cafeteria and buy some bread. Please don't worry about me, Uesugi-san."

Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his eyebrows and his smile softened a little.

"That won't do, Nohara-san. A gentleman doesn't take away what others like."

"How about this, let's have lunch together at noon, and then you can thank me. How about that?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Nohara Anko looked up in surprise as if she had won a jackpot.

"Is that okay? Won't it cause trouble for Uesugi-san?!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked around and saw that someone seemed to have noticed this place, but he didn't want to say more. He basically understood Nohara Anko's character. As long as he was a little more assertive, she would not refuse such a reasonable request.

Therefore, he made the decision immediately in an unquestionable tone.

"That's settled then. I'll wait for you on the rooftop during lunch break. There aren't many people there, and I have the key. That's it."

After saying that, he smiled at Nohara Anko, and without caring about her reaction, he walked towards the school.

He wanted to ask Nohara Anko some questions when they were alone together. If nothing else, he had to find out the source of the mirage.

That thing is a great tonic for him now. Whether it is to light up the Shikigami, light up the Hundred Stories card, or continue to improve his physical fitness, Mirage Qi is hard currency.

That is the foundation of his strength.

Nohara Anko held the lunch box with a conflicted look on her face, but in the end she couldn't refuse the tempting request of "having lunch with Uesugi-san". She blushed and followed Uesugi Kiyoshi silently.

The morning passed quickly. At noon, Uesugi Kiyoshi declined Kudo Yuichi's invitation to have lunch together, and then went to the rooftop under the ambiguous gaze of his friend.

The rooftop of Haicheng High School is closed. In fact, the rooftops of most Japanese high schools are closed because it is very dangerous there. If there is an accident of falling from a building or suicide, the school will be in trouble. But Uesugi Kiyoshi has the key, and he occasionally comes to the rooftop to practice sword during lunch break. There are few people here, it is quiet, and the environment is pretty good.

So he asked the teacher for the key to the rooftop - he was the principal's favorite, and Japan was a country that respected the strong, so top students like him actually had many privileges in school.

When he arrived at the entrance of the rooftop, Nohara Anko was already there. She was holding a lunch box and a small convenience bag containing two boxes of juice sold from the vending machine and two loaves of bread - probably prepared for Uesugi Kiyoshi because she was afraid that he would not be full.

These were all cheap stuff, but they used up all the money Nohara Anko had - she didn't even have a single yen on her now, and she was afraid she would go hungry at school at noon. Her uncle had stopped giving her pocket money a long time ago, and it was impossible for her to bring a lunch box to school every day. Her previous lunch was just cheap bread from the canteen.

Although she was penniless, Anko Nohara felt it was worth it.

There is no such thing as receiving favors for free in this world. Uesugi Kiyoshi may not take it to heart, but she can't.

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled gently at Nohara Anko, without saying anything, he took out the key and opened the door to the rooftop.

Chapter 20 Confession

The weather has been a bit bad these past few days. The weather forecast says there will be heavy rain, but we don’t know when it will come.

The teaching building of Haicheng Middle School is located on a high ground. From the rooftop, you can see a distant view of half of the port area.

There seems to be a storm brewing in this city.

The Tokyo Tower stands tall in the dark clouds, like a staircase connecting two worlds.

The sunlight is slightly cool and the sea breeze is chilly, as if the unwilling winter is releasing its last bit of chill in early spring.

The rooftop was not very dirty and it was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly. There was a row of old and discarded tables and chairs against the wall near the stairs, and Uesugi Kiyoshi would occasionally take a nap here.

He led Nohara Anko to sit down on a relatively clean chair. Nohara Anko lowered her head, seeming a little shy, but her hands did not stop moving. She immediately spread out the tablecloth, took out the lunch box, arranged the chopsticks, and finally put a box of juice with a straw in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi - looking at her expectant eyes, she was just about to feed him with her own hands.

Uesugi Kiyoshi originally wanted to test Nohara Anzi's words and find out what was going on with the mirage on her body, but since he was already here, there was no need to rush. This was a token of Nohara Anzi's kindness, so he didn't bother to be polite.

There was only one pair of chopsticks, and judging from the color of the chopsticks, they should be Nohara Anzu's chopsticks. It was not convenient for him to use them, so he just reached out and took a piece of croquette and put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few times.

Slowly, his eyes began to light up.

Japanese bento are mostly cold food, which focuses on convenience and speed, while taste is secondary. The more common dishes are octopus sausage, croquettes, fried chicken nuggets, hamburger patties, etc.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had no expectations for the taste - he had eaten many cheap bento boxes from supermarkets and had a good idea of ​​the taste of this kind of food. In his opinion, even if this thing was made into flowers, it would only have the same taste.

Now he realized that he seemed to have been wrong.

The name of croquette comes from the French word croquette, which is a Japanese-style transliteration word. After being modified by the Japanese, it has become a fried food with mashed potatoes, onions and minced meat as the main ingredients.

For this kind of thing, it's more about the fried texture than the taste.

But the croquettes made by Nohara Anzu are different. Although they are served cold, they are filled with a peculiar sweet fragrance, which even suppresses the greasy feeling, making Uesugi Kiyoshi salivate.
