Tokyo Swordmaster Online Dealer

He was going to buy some breakfast. He definitely wouldn't be able to go to school today. He would call the teacher later and ask for leave for both himself and Xingzi. They were both excellent students and had many privileges in school. He guessed the teacher wouldn't say anything.

This morning, he planned to take Nohara Anko to visit his master. He had a lot of things to ask his master for advice on, as well as the follow-up matters regarding the Yokota residence. Although Akutagawa Ryunosuke said he could handle it, Uesugi Kiyoshi still trusted Kamiizumi Hidekawa a little more.

Japan is different from China. Even in Tokyo, there are basically no stores specializing in breakfast. However, there are fast food chains such as Sukiya and Yoshinoya that are open in the morning. Many of these stores are open 24 hours a day, which is very convenient.

Uesugi Kiyoshi chose Sukukiya, the restaurant closest to his apartment, and bought two beef bowls to take away. In fact, this restaurant provides special breakfast sets, which are very Japanese, with miso soup, grilled fish, rice and pickles. However, the soup was too watery and difficult to carry, so Uesugi Kiyoshi did not buy it.

While Nohara Anzi is still growing, she should eat more meat to grow taller. She can't always be a tiny thing.

When Uesugi Kiyoshi returned to the apartment, it was almost six o'clock. The sky was still gloomy and the rain was not heavy, but not light either. The weather in early spring was quite chilly, and even with his physique he felt a little cold.

After shaking off the water on his umbrella, Uesugi Kiyoshi took out his key and opened the door. What he saw was Nohara Anko standing in the middle of the room, with a confused look on her face and tears in the corners of her eyes.

Nohara Anzi had a confused look on her face, her brows were furrowed, and her expression was a little sad. Her clothes were a little disheveled from sleeping for a night, revealing large areas of smooth skin. For a moment, it gave people a different sense of contrast and added a bit of temptation.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was stunned for a moment, then he went into the house, closed the door, put the breakfast he brought back on the kotatsu, and asked with some concern, "Kyoko, what's wrong?"

After seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi, Nohara Anko seemed to feel relieved and her expression became clear. Then, she realized her condition, blushed, exclaimed softly, and crawled back into the bed.

When she woke up in the morning, she was still half asleep and her mind was confused. She looked around but couldn't see any sign of Uesugi Kiyoshi. She felt inexplicably uneasy. She couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality. She thought Uesugi Kiyoshi had abandoned her and left alone. She was so sad that tears rolled down her face uncontrollably.

Then, she was awakened by Uesugi Kiyoshi who pushed the door open. She also realized how ridiculous her thoughts were, but how could she have the nerve to tell Uesugi-kun about such a thing, so she could only shake her head with a red face in the quilt to indicate that she was fine.

Uesugi Kiyoshi thought that what happened yesterday had given Nohara Anko too much of a shock, and she had not yet recovered from her sadness, so he couldn't help but soften his tone.

"It's okay, Kyoko. It's all over."

"Get up and eat something. I'll call the teacher to ask for leave later."

"Come with me to visit Master this morning, and I'll take you to Yokota's house to get your daily necessities in the afternoon."

"Is that okay?"

Nohara Anko smelled the fragrance of the food and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's gentle and serious face. She couldn't help but feel a little sad. No one had ever been so nice to her. Although her uncle was good to her before, because her aunt hated her, her uncle couldn't show any special concern for her. She hadn't felt this kind of care for a long time.

"Okay! Uesugi-kun!"

Nohara Anzi nodded vigorously, adjusted her mood, raised her head and showed a bright smile.

Yes, Apricot.

She thought silently in her mind.

The long night will eventually pass, and my dawn has arrived.

P.S. Ah. I am not very good at writing romance scenes. The original intention of opening this book is to hone my writing skills for romance scenes and daily writing.

I hope I won't bore you.

Well, I accept the criticism. I admit that I am not good.

Chapter 46 Dojo

Uesugi Kiyoshi and Nohara Anko had a simple meal and got themselves ready. It was already past seven o'clock.

The rain showed no sign of stopping, so they had no choice but to go out in the rain.

Uesugi Kiyoshi also has the habit of buying spare toiletries. He is always well organized, but for something like an umbrella, he really can't find a second one at home.

In desperation, they had to go out together with one umbrella.

Although Nohara Anko is petite, her curvy figure means that she takes up quite a bit of space at the bottom of the umbrella. Uesugi Kiyoshi's black umbrella is not that big either, so the two of them sharing an umbrella look very intimate. In the eyes of outsiders, they are definitely a couple.

Although Nohara Kyoko didn't mind having close contact with Uesugi Kiyoshi, she felt that even though she had taken a shower, her clothes had not been changed, and she always felt that she was not clean enough - would there be any strange smell on me? This thought lingered in Nohara Kyoko's mind, causing her body to keep rubbing against the outside of the umbrella, and she would sniff her collar from time to time, like an anxious little animal.

Uesugi Kiyoshi saw all of Nohara Anko's little movements, smiled helplessly, put his arms around Nohara Anko's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and at the same time moved himself a little to try to prevent Nohara Anko from getting wet in the rain. He didn't care. The spring school uniform that Nohara Anko was wearing was quite thin. If she was drenched by the heavy rain and blown by the cold wind, she would probably catch a cold and a fever.

He didn't want to see Nohara Kyoko get sick.

Uesugi Kiyoshi prides himself on being a rational and goal-oriented person. His goal in life is to learn, become stronger, and reach the top in all fields. The social hierarchy in this country is clear and strict. He is unable to change all this, so he must work hard to climb up.

Therefore, he did not plan to "fall in love" with someone too early. The word seemed a bit heavy and a bit early to him.

But it is undeniable that through the contact over the past few days, Nohara Anko did leave an indelible impression in his heart. Maybe it was because they were in the same situation, maybe her submissive nature was very endearing, or maybe Uesugi Kiyoshi actually had no resistance to girls with this kind of figure and personality.

Anyway, it is impossible for Uesugi Kiyoshi to remain indifferent to what happened to Nohara Anko.

He is a man of his word.

He promised Nohara Anko that he would take care of her, and he would definitely do it.

He couldn't tell what he felt towards Nohara Anko in his heart right now. It would be too hasty to say that he liked her, as they had only known each other for a few days. It would be out of the question to say that he hated her. It was difficult to feel bad about Nohara Anko's personality, as she was a girl so humble that she deserved pity.

There is no option of "playing around" in Uesugi Kiyoshi's view of love. When he chooses someone to date, it is always with the premise of marriage.

"Marry Xingzi?"

This thought couldn't help but emerge in Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind.

"Well, I don't dislike it, but I don't expect much either."

"tsk"

Uesugi Kiyoshi was a little uneasy, while Nohara Anko was shy and nervous, and the two of them walked all the way, and at 8:30, they arrived in the port area, in front of Kamiizumi Hidekawa's dojo.

Due to the heavy rain, there were few pedestrians stopping around the already quiet temple.

Uesugi Kiyokune led Nohara Anko to the door of the dojo with familiarity and knocked gently.

After receiving Hidekawa Kamiizumi's response of "Come in", the two pushed the door open and walked in.

Hidekawa Kamiizumi was sitting cross-legged facing the door with a sheathed samurai sword across his knees. When he saw Uesugi Kiyoshi come in, he opened his eyes slightly, as if he had just woken up from meditation.

The next second, the flame of gossip ignited in Kamiizumi Hidekawa's eyes. An ambiguous smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he blinked at Uesugi Kiyoshi in a casual manner.

"Hey, Qing, you brought your girlfriend to see me. This is the first time!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi rolled his eyes. He was not surprised by his master's behavior. Kamiizumi Hidekawa was a wonderful man. He was a romantic young man when he was young - this is a nice way of saying it. To put it bluntly, he was a bit of a dandy when he was young. When he was serious, he was extremely solemn, and when he was not serious, he often talked nonsense. However, he really devoted all his efforts to cultivating his closed disciple, and Uesugi Kiyoshi could feel it.

He is a man who will avenge his enemies and repay his kindness. He remembers every bit of his master's kindness in his heart.

"Master, don't make such jokes. Xingzi and I are just friends. You taught me to respect women."

Uesugi Kiyoshi replied helplessly. If he didn't stand up, who knows what his master would say next.

It was obvious that Kamiizumi Hidekawa had no intention of letting Uesugi Kiyoshi go. He tilted his head and his smile became playful.

"She's homeless. She stayed at your house last night, right? Are you close enough to live with her?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the young people nowadays"

Kamiizumi Hidekawa stared at Uesugi Kiyoshi mischievously, as if he was expecting a shy expression to appear on his apprentice's face. This child was usually so serious and too old, and lacked some of the youthful vigor.

It was obvious that Kamiizumi Hidekawa was destined to be disappointed. Uesugi Kiyoshi would not be embarrassed or annoyed by such a level of teasing. Seeing that his master was endless, he simply pretended not to hear him and just patted Nohara Anko's hand comfortingly. The girl initially ran over to greet Kamiizumi Hidekawa, but ended up hearing just these two sentences. She immediately hid behind Uesugi Kiyoshi with her face flushed with shyness and dared not face Kamiizumi Hidekawa at all.

"Master likes to joke around. Xingzi, don't mind him. He's a very nice guy."

As he spoke, Uesugi Kiyoshi pulled Nohara Anko to sit on the floor in front of Kamiizumi Hidekawa. Nohara Anko suppressed her shyness, supported herself on the floor with her small hands, knelt down and bowed, whispering, "Mr. Kamiizumi, hello, I'm Nohara Anko, a friend of Uesugi-kun!"

Hidekawa Kamiizumi was quite kind to Nohara Anko. He helped Nohara Anko up with a kind smile.

"Xingzi, right? I heard Qing mention you. Yes, that's right. You can call me Master together with Qing."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was startled when he heard this. He glanced at his master suspiciously and asked, "Master, do you want to take Xingzi as your apprentice? Does she have the qualifications to learn swordsmanship?"

Ueizumi Hidekawa glared at Uesugi Kiyoshi as if he was a fool, shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? Is there anything wrong with my apprentice's girlfriend calling me Master?"

Seeing that Uesugi Kiyoshi was about to refute, he waved his hand and made a somewhat shameless assertion.

"Okay, no need to explain."

"I haven't lived these forty years in vain. I have met all kinds of people."

"The way Kyoko looks at you brat is exactly the same as the way Rin's mother looked at me!"

"This girl's heart is tied to you. Don't tell me you can't see it. My apprentice shouldn't be that stupid."

"Alright, alright, you young people should handle your own affairs."

"Qing, tell me about it."

"What on earth happened yesterday!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi rolled his eyes again and complained in his heart.

"So you know there's something important going on!"

However, he didn't dare to say such inappropriate words to his master. He could only swallow his anger and organize his words, intending to explain clearly what happened in Yokota's house.

Although Nohara Anko was a little shy and her face was red as steam, she had a better impression of Uesugi Hidekawa - Master supports me and Uesugi, right?

Master doesn’t dislike me!

Um.

Master is such a good person!

ps. There should be another chapter after twelve o'clock, please vote for recommendation~

Chapter 47 Sacrifice, Dog God

Uesugi Kiyoshi organized his words, starting from the time he met Nohara Kyoko and continuing until the end of his negotiations with Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

He described every detail, except for the part about the Hundred Stories Cards he used. He even described the choices he made when fighting against Yokotano and the sword moves he used.

Izumi Hidekawa had already gained a general understanding of these matters through his own channels. After listening to Uesugi Kiyoshi's detailed description, he stroked his mustache and fell into deep thought.

"The statues and the worshippers are the secret ritualists. Those lunatics are the most troublesome and the most hateful. They have completely abandoned the dignity of mankind and have completely fallen to the side of ghosts and gods. They deserve to be killed!"

"But... Yokotano's behavior is a little strange."

"Akutagawa didn't lie to you. I got Yokotano's autopsy report through my acquaintances in the Metropolitan Police Department. His body does have extraordinary powers. With his abilities and the weapon in hand, he can at least make the residents of several nearby buildings become [sacrifices]."

"But why did he only attack his wife?"

"You must know that the sacrifices of the Mystics are crazy and endless. They wish to dedicate everything in the world to their God!"

After listening to what Kamiizumi Hidekawa said, Uesugi Kiyoshi thought quickly in his mind, but before he could figure it out, Kamiizumi Hidekawa continued to speak.

"I'm not an expert in reasoning. I can only make a rough guess. This matter is very strange."

"I think there is only one reason why Yokotano didn't go on a killing spree. For some reason, he didn't want to alert the enemy."

"That is to say, he already had a victim in mind, and attacking his wife was just a side job. He didn't want to do anything that would cause more trouble, such as killing his neighbor as well."
