"Fuyao knows about my relationship with the Collectibles Association. It's definitely not her who ordered this. But, the Fenghuangyuan family seems to be somehow involved."

"Kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

"Huh, are you protesting against the association?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi thought about many things, and several guesses immediately popped up in his mind.

What woke him up was a call.

"Uesugi-kun, the car is ready. I will pick you up at home tomorrow morning. I have also contacted Kyoto, so please don't worry."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was suddenly startled, and when he looked up, what caught his eye was a somewhat old face.

He was stunned for a moment, then he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Ueno-senpai, are you fully recovered?"

Ueno Sanishi was still wearing a well-fitting suit, his silver hair was neatly combed, and he stood politely at the gate of the association, apparently waiting for Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Uesugi-kun, it's okay. I'm not one of those old men. Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this in front of you, I'm also a swordsman who has entered the extraordinary realm. I won't be unable to get up after just a little setback."

Judging from the tone of his voice, there is indeed nothing wrong with Ueno Mitsuishi's health.

The Collectibles Association does have a set of medical methods. As long as the mental invasion of Ueno Sanishi by the outer gods is removed, the remaining abnormalities can actually be easily resolved.

Less than half a month had passed, and Ueno Mitsuishi, who was almost dying, was now back to normal and was even able to work again.

"Kudou-kun told me that Uesugi-kun is going to Kyoto?"

"I have arranged the itinerary. I have also selected a few trustworthy agents from Kyoto to accompany us. I have also dispatched a medical team just in case. This is the basic configuration for extraordinary operations."

"Kudo-kun said that the risk factor of this operation is tentatively set at the castle tower level. Uesugi-kun will be in charge. We will cooperate with you."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was very clear about Ueno Mitsuishi's professional qualities as a "steward". When Akutagawa sent this old senior to be by his side, Uesugi Kiyoshi enjoyed the life of a young master. He did not have to do almost anything. Ueno Mitsuishi took care of foreign affairs, and Anzu served him when he returned home. This was what the royal nobles of the feudal period lived like.

However, he was still a little worried about Ueno Mitsuishi's health.

"Senior Ueno, this trip is a bit dangerous. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you'd better not get involved in this mess. I heard that Kyoto is a bit uneasy."

"Rabbit can't leave you, right? This time I go, if nothing unexpected happens, I'm going to ask Narumi-kun's brothers and sisters to come with me. There's no one here who can take care of Rabbit."

Ueno Sanishi seemed to have expected Uesugi Kiyoshi to say this.

"Uesugi-kun, please don't worry. I have entrusted Usagi to Masako. While I am away from Tokyo, they will temporarily live in the association. I am not too worried about this."

"As for me, an old man?"

"Uesugi-kun, I should have died, but you pulled me back from before the Sanzu River. I heard everything."

"You planned to kill a god for me."

"I'm really scared - if I die, it won't be a pity, but Uesugi-kun, it's really sad that such an excellent swordsman like you died."

"I'm not worth the risk you take for me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly and shook his head.

"Don't say that, Senior Ueno. You work for me, so I should be responsible for your safety."

"Besides, I'm not just doing this for you."

"Just think of it as me holding my breath and feeling uneasy."

"I can't just watch Xiaotu become a lonely person without any relatives. If I don't do something at this time, what's the point of cultivating all my skills?"

"If you are cold-blooded for a long time, you will become inhuman. If you are inhuman, what is the difference between you and a beast?"

Ueno Mitsuishi looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with eyes full of gratitude and recognition - this idea was similar to his own.

"As you said, there are always people who are fickle in this world."

"So, you've done so much for me, and now you're going to Kyoto. If I remain indifferent, wouldn't that mean I'm losing my reputation?"

After changing his perspective and putting himself in his shoes, Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped hesitating and nodded.

"Okay, I'll bother you then."

"There may be too many people going, so please prepare a few more cars. We will leave early in the morning and arrive before noon. Akutagawa may not be able to hold out for long on his own, so go and help him."

"By the way, when you get there, send out your agents and try to gather as much intelligence as possible about the day the incident happened. I'll also contact my friends to ask about it."

"This matter has been dragging on for so long that it is a disgrace to the association."

"As the top collectors in the association, we did nothing when we were attacked in Kyoto. We even swallowed our anger and ran away with our tails between our legs."

"I'm afraid quite a few people will laugh their heads off."

"Could this also be the enemy's goal?"

Uesugi Qing recited a few words, shook his head, and stopped his thoughts from wandering.

There’s no point in guessing now, let’s go and see.

After saying goodbye to Ueno Mitsuishi, he rode his beloved motorcycle and rushed home at full speed.

As a result, at the entrance of the gym, he saw someone he didn't expect.

The demon sword Shen Cheng was leaning against the door of the gym with his eyes closed. When he saw him coming, he opened his eyes slightly and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Uesugi Kiyoya nodded in return and asked, "Well, is Maki here?"

These two should be inseparable. If Touwen Maki comes to his place, Kamishimura will definitely be guarding the door.

Shen Cheng responded with a somewhat cold voice.

"The young lady has been waiting for you for a long time."

Accustomed to Kamishimura's cold attitude, Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't take it seriously. He just changed his shoes, pushed the door into the dojo, and went straight to the backyard.

This dojo is really big. The front yard is a kendo field, the middle is a Japanese garden, and the space in the back is enough to build several duplex houses.

Of course, Uesugi Kiyoshi would not be stupid enough to build a Japanese-style house that would lower the style in his backyard.

Under his instruction, this place was built, which looks a bit like a shrine.

It's just that he uses this place as his daily living area.

He walked through the maze-like corridor with familiarity, arrived at the restaurant entrance, and opened the shoji door.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the medium-sized Japanese-style room.

The aroma of food wafted into his nose, and several eyes were staring at him almost at the same time.

He gave a somewhat reassuring smile and strode in.

Kyoko, Arin, the two Arakawa masters, Maki Toufumi who was sitting upright, and Kagura who was half a body away from Maki Toufumi like a maid.

The dinner at the Uesugi family was much more lively than before.

Chapter 277 I’m going too!

He sat down at the main seat, and Nohara Anko, who was kneeling beside him, immediately added a bowl of rice to his bowl. Uesugi Kiyoshi did not rush to pick up his chopsticks, but first looked at Toufu Maki, who had been staring at him since a while ago.

"Maki, how come you have time to come to me today? I heard that you have been very busy lately."

Maki Toufumi is in a daze.

She came to visit Uesugi Kiyoshi today and felt that the atmosphere was not right as soon as she entered the door.

Nohara Anko is a little too lively.

She had seen Nohara Anko before. When she first met Uesugi Kiyoshi, she saw this little white rabbit who was staying at Uesugi's house.

At that time, she thought this was Uesugi Kiyoshi's girlfriend.

However, she later investigated and realized that this girlfriend had not yet achieved the position, and she probably had to add the word "quasi" in front of the title.

In that case, she didn't plan to be polite. As a man, she couldn't just give it to others. So everyone should fight for it together.

Although Xingzi was very cute and kind, and always looked at her with an especially endearing look, which prevented her from feeling hostile, she couldn't just watch her husband fall into the arms of another woman.

This young swordsman who always stood in front of her when she was in trouble, gave her a sense of security like a father, and protected her, has left an indelible mark in her heart.

Especially after her father passed away, she had no relatives and friends. Every time she was busy with the affairs of the Dongwen Society until midnight, she could only feel at ease when she thought of that face that was serious but extremely reliable to her.

Naturally, she could notice that something was wrong with Nohara Anko.

She was filled with a joy that came from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes were full of honey that could not be melted, as if the words "I'm in love" were engraved on her forehead.

Xingzi was not like this in the past.

Dong Wen Maki's heart was suddenly in her throat. Could it be that she was the one who got the upper hand because she was close to the water?

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have worried about the trivial matters of the Eastern Literature Society!

Those things can be done at any time, but what if my husband is kidnapped? !

Maki Toufumi was in a very complicated mood. She even forgot how she was invited to sit at the dinner table. Ever since Uesugi Kiyoshi came in, her vigilant eyes had been scanning back and forth between Uesugi Kiyoshi and Nohara Anko, trying to find some clues.

So much so that even when Uesugi Kiyoshi called her, she didn't even respond.

"Maki?"

It was only when Uesugi Kiyoshi emphasized his tone that Touwen Maki finally woke up from her dream.

"Ah! Sorry, sir. I was a little distracted."

"I'm not really busy. My master promised me that he would take time to teach me swordsmanship on the weekends."

Uesugi Kiyoshi naturally wouldn't be surprised by Touwen Maki. He raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "I'm right, but is tomorrow the weekend?"

At this time, Nohara Anzi smiled sweetly at Uesugi Kiyoshi and whispered, "Uesugi-kun, tomorrow is spring break."

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned and thought for a while before he suddenly realized.

He hadn't been to school for a long time and had forgotten all about it.

Japanese students generally have three holidays a year: spring break, summer break, and winter break. Both spring break and winter break are about two weeks long. Uesugi Kiyoshi started school in January, and now that several months have passed, it is indeed time for spring break.

However, he looked at Toufu Maki with a hint of joking and asked, "Does Toufu Nidaime still have a spring break?"

"Well, forget it, let's not talk about this."

"You came just in time. I have to go to Kyoto tomorrow. I don't know how long I will stay there, so I'll have to stop my swordsmanship lessons for now."

"Anyway, with your current level of swordsmanship, I can't teach you anything. The most I can do is accumulate some experience."
