Shaking his head, without paying any attention to his junior sister who was running away happily, Uesugi Kiyoshi stretched his numb legs and staggered into the dojo.

His kendo gym has been closed, and the group of scouts led by Rin Kamiizumi have been sent home by her, leaving only Shingo Narumi sitting in meditation in the dojo.

He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed. He didn't turn around when he heard the footsteps, but just asked lightly.

"Success?"

"Will I be able to see the sword energy that wards off evil and kills ghosts, terrifies the gods, and can defeat millions of sea monsters with one sword?"

"Uesugi Kiyoshi?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly, walked to Ming Hai Xinwu, sat down cross-legged, and asked in return: "You don't seem to be worried about me?"

Shingo Narumi almost laughed out loud, opened his eyes, and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi in disbelief.

"The possibility of your swordsmanship awakening failing is less than the possibility of me drowning in the Arakawa."

"Stop joking. The Lord of the Hundred Demons was once a famous swordsman in Heian-kyō."

"His sword heart is clear and unshakable."

"How is it possible that they can't even pass the most basic threshold?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded silently and said, "You seem to be very sure of my identity."

Ming Hai Xinwu shook his head and said with a sigh: "No, I am not sure."

"I just hope so."

"For some people, it's really a pity to die."

“You are one of them.”

"Since the first time we met, I have been observing you, Uesugi Kiyoshi. You are him. Your expression, personality, and even the momentum when you hold the sword are exactly the same."

"After all, I was with you before, so I won't admit my mistake."

Uesugi Kiyoshi lowered his head and laughed a few times. When he looked up again, his expression was extremely complicated.

"How should I put it? I always feel that my mood right now is a little hard to describe."

"It feels like a lifetime ago?"

"I am a layman."

"Now, it seems to have become an Avenger."

"The enemy's identity is unknown, my memory is fragmented, and I am in a daze like a puppet. It's really uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Ming Hai Xinwu narrowed his eyes slightly, and it seemed that he did not agree with Uesugi Kiyoshi's opinion.

"Although I don't mind being chosen by you to confide in."

"But don't be so depressed, okay?"

"[Avenger], me too?"

"As a leader, you have to bear these responsibilities."

"I want to tear the sea monsters that destroyed my Arakawa into pieces all the time. Even if I reincarnate, this wish will not change."

"People always need an idea to support them when they are alive."

"Uesugi Kiyoshi, what keeps you alive?"

Chapter 271 Life after Life

Ming Hai Xinwu's philosophical question made Uesugi Qing thoughtful.

He didn't ponder for long before he smiled and his expression relaxed.

"Thank you for your best efforts to comfort me, Mr. Xinwu. I am not someone who would easily get stuck in a rut."

"The revenge for killing me must be taken."

"There's no point in thinking so much."

"Anyway, please give me more advice in the future."

The two looked at each other, and Ming Hai Xinwu snorted lightly without responding.

However, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt that he had already received a response.

Feeling that the legacy he left behind didn't seem to be entirely material, he checked his watch and asked doubtfully, "Speaking of which, Shingo, have you seen Kyoko?"

"Why is she not back now that Ah Lin is back?"

Without even opening his eyes, Narumi Shingo replied, "Nobuna and Kyoko went to buy ingredients together. It'll be fine as long as Nobuna is with them."

Whenever Uesugi Kiyoshi heard the name Narumi Nobuna, he would always think of the big blue-haired loli who stood on a giant goldfish ship, with the Arakawa water demon following behind her, and who remained calm in the face of gods and demons and was not afraid to take action.

It was really hard for him to imagine that the little girl who always competed with her brother and whose biggest hobby was playing video games was actually the successor to the leader of Arakawa who had supported the group in the past.

"Well, Xingzi, come back and call me."

"I'll meditate for a while. Master Shingo, please watch the door and don't be distracted."

After making a joke, Uesugi Kiyoshi sat down cross-legged, his mind sinking into the dream mirror.

Almost in an instant, he arrived in the mirage.

Ever since he awakened the memory of the Lord of the Hundred Demons, he no longer had to trek through the Town of the Hundred Demons. He could even "teleport" in this town.

This is his territory.

The mirage has also changed a lot.

For some reason, the entire mirage is filled with traditional Japanese decorations with an ancient charm, making it look a bit like the "evaluation room" in a Taiga drama.

The only difference is that the cushions were replaced by tables.

Starlight still shines through the transparent dome, the candlelight around is still so gentle, and the statues and murals of ghosts and gods are lifelike.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't care about the scene. This place was exactly the same as the evaluation room in Edo in his memory.

He walked to the main seat and sat down, then reached out into the air.

A diary appeared in his hands.

"Well, let me see the unopened memories you left for me."

"The Dog God's Scroll, the Yingcao Scroll, and the Qingxuandeng."

I opened the diary with some anticipation.

A familiar feeling came over me.

It's another familiar immersive experience.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stood in an evaluation room that was 80% similar to the one in Mirage. His face looked haggard, with deep dark circles and sunken eye sockets.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stood and clapped his hands. Although his expression was a little weak, there was a hint of joy in it.

As he clapped his hands, a majestic figure walked out from behind the screen.

He has a human body with a dog's head, covered in a blue robe, and is extremely strong, looking very majestic.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was very familiar with this.

This is "Inugami".

However, at this moment, the Inugami's eyes did not have the fierceness and tyranny as in the Inugami Volume, but only a flattering smile with a bit of naivety.

He walked over like a human being, knelt awkwardly in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi, put on a bamboo hat, looked up at his master through a layer of gauze, stuck out his tongue and panted, without saying a word.

"Can't dogs change their living habits?"

"Forget it. This is not something that can be achieved in a day."

"A Chai, listen carefully. I taught you sword for a month, and I also had my men teach you how to survive in human society."

"Now, the time has come."

"I consulted the White Fox's Son, and he said that if a shikigami wants to completely break free of the shackles of his youkai identity, he needs to find his own [name]."

"What he said was vague. From what I heard, the general idea was that you need to go out and gain experience on your own."

"You are conscious now because you are by my side. My power stimulates your mind and prevents you from killing innocent people like a wild demon."

“But this is only a temporary measure.”

"If you leave me, you will turn into a monster that only knows how to kill."

"From today on, you will go out and travel."

"Ashira, after you leave, you will forget me, forget Edo Castle, forget where you came from, and where you are going."

"All you can remember is the belief I gave you."

"Now, I tell you."

"The swordsmanship I bestow upon you is to [slay evil]!"

"Eliminate all evil in the world and do nothing unjust."

"I am not a good person, but I definitely don't want to be a bad person. Under my command as the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts, I do not allow evil demons to exist."

"Remember this, kill the evil!"

"And then. Come back alive."

"When you find your own path, find your own name, and figure out what you want to protect, then you will think of me."

"At that time, you are the dog god."

"is God!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi gave A Chai some earnest instructions, then turned around and waved his hand.

His face was unclear, but it was obvious that he was gritting his teeth, and the decision he made was not an easy one.

Achai looked somewhat sad. He could understand what his master said. After whimpering a few times, he knew that his master had made up his mind. He stood up reluctantly, bowed to Shangshan Qing, and left reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

Although Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't cry, his eyes were red.

After Achai's footsteps faded away and the door closed, Uesugi Kiyoshi seemed to be drained of energy and his body shook a few times.
