I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 411 Isn't Buddha the one who relieves suffering? Blood Moon, you must attack the follower with Taunt first!
In an instant, Uesugi Tetsuya, who was already watching Kujo Machi, Nisha-sama, Chisa, and even the idle Ao all turned their attention to the water stains that were slowly spreading from under Kujo Machi.

Silence spread.

Perhaps because Masachi Kujo has a healthy lifestyle and drinks few strange beverages, the smell in the air is negligible.

Chisa quickly realized what was happening, then turned her head away with a slight blush.

Erchi pouted in amazement, clicking his tongue in wonder.

As for Uesugi Tetsu...

Uesugi Tetsu's expression and gaze were unusually calm.

Because as long as the object of my affections is "Kujo Machi", I always feel that nothing I do will surprise him.

She still kneels and calls her father so much that Uesugi Tetsuya's psychological threshold for her has been lowered to an infinitely low level.

Now was not the time to race against time, so Uesugi Tetsu waved his hand.
"Erchi, you and Qiansha take her to clean up."

"Two feet is in command."

The girl, whose face was as calm as a lake, nodded, then her gaze subtly swept over Kujo Machi and Chisa's chests.

"I wonder how big Chisa and Kujo Machi are compared to me, and how they feel... Hmm, I'll try them out later..."

Originally, Erchi had no psychological burden about doing this kind of thing; he had only been considering his relationship with Uesugi Tetsu and had never been able to satisfy his curiosity.

But now that she has traveled a long and arduous journey, illuminating her own soul, she can do such trivial things as soon as she thinks of them.

After the three women left the room, Uesugi Tetsuya first used his spiritual power to clean the ground, then fell into deep thought alone.

This amount of time was enough for him to clarify all the current and planned situations.

Having witnessed everything, Ao silently sighed, "Lord Uesugi is truly merciful."

If it were Qing himself, he would have already claimed these one and only Yama's Eyes as his own.

At worst, I can compensate the girl with something else later.

But Lord Uesugi gave her a choice.

The starkly contrasting indifference and kindness were harmoniously combined in the same person.

As expected of... Lord Uesugi Tetsu, whom he respects so much.

On the hilt of the spider-cutting sword, crimson eyes silently opened and closed, their respect for Uesugi Tetsu deepened.

……

The "cleaning" took longer than Uesugi Tetsuya had expected; it took more than twenty minutes before the three women returned to their room one after another.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at Chisa, whose face was slightly flushed, and Kujo Machi, whose expression was somewhat unnatural, with a puzzled expression.

And, the ever-present, calm and serene Two-Foot Master, whose face remains as serene as a snow-capped mountain.

He asked, "Did anything happen just now?"

Er Chi replied, "When we shower and clean together, some privacy issues are inevitable... You two are just a little shy."

It turned out to be the case.

Uesugi Tetsuya, unsuspecting, waved for Kujo Machi to come over.

The latter obediently sat down, and thinking about his embarrassing appearance in front of everyone, even his well-worn face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

“Lord Uesugi,” she said.

After being reprimanded by Erchi in the bathroom, Kujo Machi has been forbidden from using more intimate terms like "father" or "Lord Che, Lord Che".

Uesugi Tetsu briefly explained to the other party what the "Eye of Enma" was, and the relationship between the "Priest's Corpse, Black Chains, and Blood Moon".

Kujo Machi listened attentively, and her thoughts gradually calmed down—she was always this calm, except in very rare cases.

A few minutes later, she nodded: "Simply put, it's a battle between celestial beings and demons, and mortals suffer the consequences."

“Miss Kujo, you are the mortal that all the gods desire most.”

Uesugi Tetsu added, causing Kujo Machi to sigh deeply.

Nearby, someone who was fiddling with dinosaur pajamas that were much larger than his current two-foot height stated the facts: "If it were anyone else, your eyes would have been gone long ago."

After hearing this, Kujo Machi touched the eyes that had been with him all his life and had to admit in his heart that it was indeed true.

Even she was captivated by the effects of the "Eye of Yama".

If those eyes were on an ordinary person, she could easily replace them with those eyes belonging to a god with a little effort.

Could she be like Uesugi Tetsu in front of her?
To be fair, none of the nine principles can be followed.

"But if you die for some inexplicable reason, or if I can't save you from your inevitable death, then your eyes will belong to me after you die, is that alright?"

Uesugi Tetsuya drafted a simple contract and smiled, "I'm not here to work for free."

"it is good."

After carefully reviewing the contract repeatedly, Kujo Machi signed his name on it without hesitation.

Suddenly, she felt a mysterious force descend upon her, but it vanished in an instant, like an illusion.

Kujo Machi had no regrets.

She thought that even if what she had seen before was just a trick by Uesugi Tetsuya to gain her trust, she would accept it.

Because she understood that, in terms of Uesugi Tetsuya, the corpses in the sky, or anything beyond that, she really, really meant nothing.

It was completely beyond her expectations that Uesugi Tetsu would agree to her own choice and even be willing to spend so much time and effort on acting.

After signing the contract, Uesugi Tetsu found himself with nothing to do for a while.

There's no rush for the rest of the time, so let's just keep waiting patiently.

He told Erchi not to continue killing the fake people, but to let Wan Gui slowly revive, allowing the blood to gradually fill the empty eye sockets of the palace chief's corpse.

—After all, killing fake people only strengthens the power of the palace guard's corpse and the black chains.

Even if these two did not demonstrate near-human wisdom in the previous cycle, who can say for sure what would happen when faced with such a terrifying existence?

When he finally had some free time, Uesugi Tetsu discovered that two side quests had already been completed—

[You reunited with "Dad" and had a friendly conversation. Your "Side Quest 4: Dad's Here?" is now complete!]

Your rating will be appropriately improved during regional settlement.

[You have raised the trust level of the Nine True Insights to "90", and your "Side Quest 1: Trust in the Nine True Insights" is complete!]

Your rating will be further improved during regional settlement.

"That was quite a 'friendly' conversation..."

Uesugi Tetsu raised an eyebrow. This friendliness was so great that he almost risked his life to kill this damned old man.

However, it was somewhat unexpected that Kujo Machi's trust level could rise so high all at once, but since it was a good thing, Uesugi Tetsu didn't plan to investigate the reasons behind it.

As time passed, the monsters that had been temporarily suppressed began to resurface in various parts of Asahikawa City.

The thick darkness once again filled every corner of the streets and alleys, and rustling sounds rose in the ears of every survivor.

The light is disappearing.

Suddenly, the two-foot-tall man, standing inside the dinosaur pajamas with only his small face showing, spoke up: "Lord Che, can we go out?"

Just as he pushed the door open again, Kujo Machi, who had said the food was ready, instinctively asked,

What are you going out for now?

The two-foot-tall adult gently brought together the two plush dinosaur claws that were dangling in mid-air.

Before she could even speak, Uesugi Tetsuya understood what Nissho wanted to do.

A calming sound emanated from the dinosaur pajamas.

"Now that we have the resources to spare, we should naturally help the world."

Uesugi Tetsu knew that this was also a way to enhance the "calamity-preserving aura".

This should also significantly improve the mission rating. He nodded in agreement: "Go ahead."

"But how do I do it? Do you need my help?"

Uesugi Tetsu thought that if Erchi went to kill those fierce monsters, it would attract the attention of the heavens, which would be bad and might cause unnecessary changes.

“We can use our mental focus to find the people our previous clone identified who needed help, and then turn the clone into a clay sculpture. This will shield us from external perception and be enough to save those ordinary people for a considerable period of time.”

Er Chi spoke softly: "This period of time is enough for Lord Che to finish all the things that need to be done."

And soon, the voice changed from one to two, from two to four, from four to eight...

In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with tiny two-foot-tall figures, but the aura and power emanating from each of them gradually became unremarkable.

Kujo Machi was stunned for a moment after hearing the exchange between the master and servant.

Looking out the window at the darkness that seemed to writhe like living things, and at the various strange phenomena and beings further away, she felt a chill run down her spine.

“Um… Lord Uesugi, and this two-footed man.”

Kujo Machi asked cautiously, "Is this something we absolutely have to do? If we don't do it, will those two gods kill us?"

"No."

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head: "There are only a few thousand living people in the entire Asahikawa City at most. Even if they all died, it wouldn't affect anything."

Kujo Machi looked again at the petite girl inside the dinosaur pajamas, the one she had previously secretly called "Living Buddha."

"Then why..."

"Shouldn't Buddha be someone who relieves suffering?"

The hood of the dinosaur pajamas fell down, revealing a pair of clear, calm eyes: "Saving humanity is a matter of course, why do we need more reasons?"

I will not say more to the nine pieces of true knowledge.

Inside the room, all the men bowed their heads, clasped their hands together, and softly chanted a Buddhist mantra.
"It shines everywhere, its light reaching all places."

"It shines everywhere, its light reaching all places."

"His light shines everywhere..."

One by one, tiny two-foot-tall figures, radiating a warm, soft light, emerged from the open window and, under Kujo Machi's gaze, grew larger and larger like balloons, eventually reaching a height of eight feet.

Those towering figures of light dispelled the darkness, then stepped into an even deeper darkness.

Kujo Machi watched this bizarre scene in silence.

A sense of respect welled up within her.

This respect is different from when Uesugi Tetsu "let her off the hook." This is the kind of respect that any ordinary person would feel they would never do, and would shout "Damn, that's awesome, I salute you!"

She thought that if she had such extraordinary power, she would have abandoned everything in Asahikawa City and escaped on her own long ago, at most taking her mother with her.

As for her birthplace... what a load of rubbish! It's just something someone mentions when you run into someone from your hometown in another city, and you actually believed it?

Suddenly, Kujo Machi spotted the red "balloon" slowly floating in the sky again, and pointed at it curiously, asking...
"Lord Uesugi, what is that?"

Uesugi Tetsu raised his eyes slightly: "Human heads are nothing to worry about."

"Oh, okay... wait? What?!"

Kujo Machi jumped up from where he was, letting out a cry of surprise.

"A human head lantern!?"

Uesugi Tetsu ignored the fussing Kujo and waved his hand, causing all the lanterns with human heads approaching the house to scatter in the wind.

Nine True Insights can only keep saying "Holy crap!"

But before Uesugi Tetsu could eliminate many head lanterns, Kujo Machi's cell phone, which was on his desk, rang.

The ringing of the bell drew her attention back.

"That's strange, not many people know my phone number..."

Kujo Machi was very cautious: "Let's not accept it."

"—I'll pick it up."

Uesugi Tetsu grabbed the phone and casually pressed the answer button.

The next moment, a slightly urgent voice came from the Shiratsu Shrine priest: "Lord Uesugi, are you continuing to kill the fake people?"
At this rate, it seems the blood moon will descend very soon!

—When did she give her phone number to Miyaji?

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the girl who looked bewildered.

Kujo Machi shook his head vigorously.

Uesugi Tetsuya seemed thoughtful, then smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Miyaji. We are preparing to massacre a group of fake people, but there are too many head lanterns in the sky, so it's not very convenient."

"That's good..."

The priest's voice suddenly softened: "I'm in trouble, Lord Uesugi."

"it is good."

Uesugi Tetsu hung up the phone.

He waved his hand again, instantly clearing away almost all the human head lanterns floating in the sky within a radius of several kilometers.

However, the amount of soul ash increased pitifully little.

Without eradicating the evil forces, the amount of soul ash obtained is far too little.

Uesugi Tetsu thought for a moment, then used his heartstrings to connect with Nichi: "If you have the spare energy, let's also take care of the bell-ringing ghost that first appeared at Kujo Machi's high school."

The reason I say "has spare capacity" is because the ringtone is definitely not weak; it was at least three and a half stars at the beginning.

Now that I've killed so many people, I might be getting closer to ghosts and gods.

—But Uesugi Tetsuya also knows that the current two-footed man has his own sense of propriety, so if he's lucky, he might be able to complete a side quest along the way.

The two-foot-tall man should comply.

Less than half an hour later, a notification popped up in front of Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes.

Your shikigami "Yasata Bosatsu - Master" has defeated "Ringing Ghost," gaining 3922 Soul Ashes!

You have obtained the Ghost Bell (Special Item)!

[Your side quest 2: The Bell Rings at Asahikawa High School has been completed.]

Your rating will be further improved during regional settlement.

【The Haunted Bell (Special Item)】

[Quality: None]

[Effect 1: When this bell is rung, it triggers a "Bell Ringing Curse" killing pattern in all creatures within a one-mile radius of the bell-ringer.]

[Effect 2: Shaking the bell ten times continuously will trigger the "Bell Sound Ghost" killing pattern in all creatures within a one-mile radius of the target, while the killing pattern's effect will be greatly enhanced.]

The bell rang... Did you hear it?

"It was resolved so quickly."

Uesugi Tetsuya read the hint with a slight smile, then chuckled, "This bell is practically a suicide truck."

I don't know what this so-called "significant enhancement" means. I'll have my two-foot clone try it out later.

Uesugi Tetsu gazed silently at the pale head in the sky, its eyes growing increasingly bloodshot.

Now is not the time.

The best time to remove the Black Book is when the two are almost equal.

If he were to take out the Black Book at that time, Blood Moon would definitely be unable to resist first taking his "Black Book son" under his command, and then begin to make a prophecy to all beings present.

Even during a Blood Moon, you must attack minions with "Taunt" first!
