Uesugi Kiyoshi discovered that his master's only daughter was attending a prestigious girls' school in Tokyo and was doing quite well academically.

While not quite at the level of a top student, they are above average.

Therefore, Rin Kamiizumi's usual carefree attitude is not due to a lack of intelligence, but rather to her personality.

After that, his evaluation of Kamiizumi Rin became "naive," or to put it bluntly, heartless, lazy to think things through, single-minded, and extremely stubborn.

Hmm. And then there's that absurd superhuman strength and top-notch swordsmanship talent. Before he started playing Hyakumonogatari, he lost more often than he won when practicing with Kamitsu Rin.

However, no matter what Izumi Rin becomes, one thing will never change: she is the only daughter of Izumi Hidekawa, and Uesugi Kiyoshi treats her as a junior sister.

My master entrusted his daughter to my care before he passed away, so I certainly can't treat her badly.

So when Izumi Rin excitedly asked to freeload a meal, Uesugi Kiyoshi agreed without much thought. After all, someone was cooking at home now, and even if this glutton could eat a lot, he wouldn't go broke.

He still has some savings.

This is also the reason why Izumi Rin is here.

It was Friday afternoon, and it seemed that Izumi Rin had just finished school. She was wearing a girls' academy uniform, rain boots, carrying a floral umbrella, and had a piece of bread from a convenience store in her mouth as she skipped along the roadside.

Then, she saw Kuki Ao intending to kill Kagura.

She spoke words of indignation and clearly intended to help, but that wasn't what she really meant.

It should be said that her reason for intervening was not merely the chivalrous spirit of "helping those in need".

She recognized Kuki Ao's identity.

Five years ago, when Kamiizumi Rin was only about ten years old, she was targeted by a cleric from a certain sect who planned to kidnap her and offer her as a sacrifice to the gods.

"Possession" requires a powerful and pure physical body, and "descent" requires the soul of a superhuman. Izumi Rin meets both of these requirements.

So those ritualists who served the spirits and gods acted decisively. However, unfortunately, less than an hour after they succeeded, their hiding place was found by Kamiizumi Hidekawa through his connections. The headquarters altar where the descent ceremony was being prepared was slaughtered by Kamiizumi swordsmen, who even forcibly broke into the spirits' dream realm, severely wounding the gods served by these ritualists before fleeing in disarray.

Despite his remarkable achievements, Kamiizumi Hidekawa also paid a price; he suffered a serious injury and took several years to recover.

At that time, Rin Kamiizumi's personality was not like it is now. She felt guilty and sad, and she felt that her father's injury was her fault.

From then on, she began to binge eat, making the most of her abilities as a Linker—she could convert the food she ate into physical strength very efficiently, and she wanted to become stronger in her own way.

Furthermore, she put a shackle on herself.

Because this incident originated from a rite master who serves spirits, Izumi Rin has an almost instinctive aversion to rite masters.

She recognized Jiu Guiqing as a ritual practitioner at a glance; the ghostly and divine power emanating from him was so dense that it was almost comparable to that of a real ghost or god.

There's no reason for Kamiizumi Rin not to make a move.

She chewed a few large bites, swallowed the bread in her mouth, put away her parasol, used it as a sword, assumed a mid-level sword stance, and with a righteous smile on her face, loudly rebuked Kuki Ao.

The relentless downpour continued, but the girl's smile remained innocent and pure.

Kuki Ao glanced back and couldn't help but pause in surprise.

He actually sensed a momentary sense of danger emanating from this meddlesome girl.

It's like being targeted by a top predator in the rainforest.

In the brief moment he was stunned, Izumi Rin rushed over with an umbrella in hand, exuding an aura of invincibility, and roaring in a very unladylike manner, truly resembling an angry little tigress.

Kuki Ao instinctively raised his sword to counterattack, swinging his over five-foot-long nodachi in a slightly tilted semi-circle, slashing at Kamiizumi Rin's left shoulder at a tricky angle.

Kamiizumi Rin is the only daughter of the head swordsman of the Shinkage-ryu school, and is also connected to the heroic spirit of the Sword Saint. She is exceptionally talented in swordsmanship, so it's no wonder she reacted quickly.

She exerted force with her wrist, and the sword's momentum changed in mid-air, shifting half a meter diagonally, causing the umbrella to collide with the nodachi.

This sword strike was indeed a decisive blow. If an expert were present, they would immediately see that the point where Kamiizumi Rin chose to strike was precisely the weakest point of Kuki Ao's sword.

Judging by this single sword strike, one's insight and skill level would be impossible to achieve without ten years of hard work.

But, after all, she was only using an umbrella, the kind of women's umbrella with plastic ribs and an aluminum handle that you can buy at a convenience store on the street.

This thing has no chance against a high-quality nodachi.

The umbrella snapped in two, and the nodachi struck Izumi Rin's left shoulder, sending her flying and crashing into the puddle.

Strands of bright red blood stained the rainwater.

Kuki Ao's expression, however, was not good.

It looks like he won.

But is that really the case?

Japan has a wide variety of yokai, numbering in the hundreds and thousands. Many of these yokai are even enshrined in shrines and worshipped as deities. Among them, the "Oni tribe" is known for its immense strength and impenetrable defense.

The Red Oni and the Blue Oni are the best among the Oni.

Although they possessed human bodies and their strength was not as terrifying as it was at its peak, Kuki Ao was still confident that he could cut down even a steel statue with a single strike, let alone a female high school student.

But what about this seemingly silly girl?

She took a full-force blow from herself, but was only thrown out. She wasn't cut in two, and her arm wasn't even broken!

While Kuki Ao was still in shock, Kamiizumi Rin nimbly flipped herself out of the water and jumped up. She moved her left arm, which was covered in blood, but she acted as if nothing had happened and was still grinning foolishly.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts!"

"I forgot I was using an umbrella, hahaha!"

I don't know what she's laughing at, but even though Izumi Rin is injured, she's still so happy.

"You're quite a big guy, and you're pretty strong. I haven't been injured in a long time!"

Rainwater washed away the blood on Izumi Rin's left shoulder, revealing her crystal-clear, jade-like skin beneath her tattered clothes. Somewhat puzzlingly, within the time it took her to say a few words, her left arm became completely healed, as if it had never been injured.

In a very uncouth manner, Izumi Rin reached under the hem of her school uniform, rummaged around for a while, and then pulled out a palm-sized piece of yellow paper that looked like a heat pack.

On the yellow paper, some characters that looked like scribbles were written in a meandering pattern with a brush.

Kazumi Rin casually tossed the yellow paper aside and said seriously, "Big guy, I'm going to use all my strength now."

"You be careful."

"Otherwise, you will die!"

When she first started speaking, Kamiizumi Rin's smile was still somewhat pure and innocent, but when she said the last sentence, she was like a completely different person.

The silly grin on his face vanished, his expression became as still as water, and the innocence in his eyes disappeared, leaving only seriousness and indifference, somewhat like Uesugi Kiyoshi's state before drawing his sword.

She flexed her wrist and casually tossed the broken umbrella aside.

The torrential rain soaked her to the bone, but she didn't care at all.

In her eyes, there was only Kuki Ao standing opposite her, holding a knife.

Kamiizumi Rin took a step forward slowly, her lips moving as if she were talking to herself.

"Ah, Father said that I was allowed to break free of my shackles when facing these scum of humanity."

"Um"

"It feels so good to be able to focus on thinking without having to exert all my strength to control my rampaging power."

Her expression was solemn, yet a mysterious, unusual smile curved at the corners of her lips.

Kuki Ao's eyes widened in disbelief.

That's the feeling.

This feeling is like being targeted by a ferocious beast at the top of the food chain, about to become her meal.

There it is again!

What's wrong with this woman?!

Undeterred, Kuki Ao continued his attack with his sword, this time using all his strength. The massive nodachi gleamed with a dazzling cold light, revealing its ferocious fangs to Kazumi Rin.

Kamiizumi Rin remained expressionless and simply swung his right fist.

A delicate fist struck the powerful nodachi with tremendous force, producing a crisp sound—the five-foot nodachi shattered instantly.

It was as if it had hit a battering ram, not a fist!

Immediately afterwards, Kamiizumi Rin's small fist broke through the sword's encirclement and slammed hard into Kuki Ao's chest.

The 1.9-meter-tall strong man froze for a moment, then was blasted away like a cannonball. His spinning figure, like a kite with a broken string, shot out in the wind and rain, crashing into a nearby telephone booth and being buried in the ruins and dust.

Rin Kamiizumi clapped her hands, her smile becoming even more unrestrained.

"I said it"

"You'll die!"

Chapter 64 Invincible Iron Fist, Rin Kamiizumi

A cloud of dust erupted from the ruins of the phone booth, and Kuki Ao scrambled out, managing to stand with some difficulty.

He vomited a disgusting liquid—gastric juice mixed with green bile—his gallbladder had been shattered by the punch.

His lips twitched, his body trembled as he stared at the figure of Kamiizumi Rin in the rain, his face filled with disbelief.

What kind of monster is this? !

This woman seems more like a demon than I do!

Even among the demon race, it's rare to find a strong person who can punch themselves into such a state!

He was lost in thought, but Izumi Rin wasn't.

Kuki Ao felt a blur before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his head and a buzzing in his ears—Kamizumi Rin appeared in front of Kuki Ao in a flash, grabbed his throat, and slammed him to the ground with a powerful slam.

His head smashed into the ground, creating a large crater. Rainwater submerged his face, flooding his orifices and choking him, causing him to cough violently and feel suffocated.

Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his heart almost stopped beating.

Kamiizumi Rin used his knee to press against Kuki Akari's abdomen, half-kneeling on the ground. He grabbed Kuki Ao's throat with his left hand, lifting him like a chick, while his right fist mechanically and repeatedly pounded Kuki Ao's chest.

Um.

This kind of "little fists pounding your chest" is probably too much for most people to handle.

It was either the fifth or sixth punch when the leader of the Nine Demons, who had been possessed by the Blue Demon, completely lost his life. His eyes were unfocused, and he was clearly dead.

A possessed demon whose strength was definitely at the "regional level" was brutally beaten to death by Kamiizumi Rin with his bare fists.
