Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"If you can do it, the winner takes all. I'm not as skilled as you, so there's nothing more to say."

"But if you can't do it."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's tone was serene, like the cold wind of the dead of winter.

"Then next time I'll... kill you!"

At this moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi regarded Tohsaka Torata as an enemy demon in the demon realm and was fully in battle mode. His face was indifferent, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he would draw his sword and cut off Tohsaka Torata's neck at any moment.

The killing intent may sound mysterious, but it does exist.

The look in someone's eyes when they want to kill you is completely different from the look in their eyes when they just want to teach you a lesson.

The aura of a criminal who has taken lives is certainly not the same as that of an ordinary, law-abiding citizen.

Uesugi Kiyoshi has slain countless demons; with his murderous gaze, how could a high school delinquent possibly withstand him?

Tohsaka Torata seemed stunned by the intimidation, unable to utter a word. Uesugi Kiyoshi gave him a cold glance, stood up, sheathed his wooden sword, turned and left without looking at him again.

What's there to see in a defeated opponent who's terrified?

He's not even afraid of ghosts, so why should he be worried about the revenge of a delinquent?

He picked up his backpack, walked over to Kyoko Nohara, and greeted her casually.

"Okay, it's okay."

"Let's go."

When Nohara Kyoko heard Uesugi Kiyoshi's voice, she snapped out of her daze—she had been completely stunned. She had been worried that Uesugi Kiyoshi might be attacked by those delinquents and was feeling completely lost, but in the blink of an eye, those fierce-looking and terrifying delinquents were all taken down by Uesugi Kiyoshi in an instant.

Is this an angel sent by God to save me?

No. This must be the divine being himself descending!

Nohara Kyoko stood there blankly, staring at Uesugi Kiyoshi, her mind racing with all sorts of wild thoughts.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was somewhat exasperated when he saw Nohara Kyoko had come to her senses, only to find her spacing out again in the blink of an eye.

He glanced at Nohara Kyoko a few more times and found that she was indeed a pretty girl.

She was wearing the uniform of Haicheng Middle School, a long-sleeved shirt on top, a pleated skirt on the bottom, and black over-the-knee socks. Because her figure was rather oversized, the uniform made her look quite alluring. Even the bow tie at her chest was stretched taut, as if it was about to burst out. Her skin was snow-white, her cherry-red lips were small and delicate, and her eyebrows and eyes were curved and very cute. She had a little baby fat on her face, but it wasn't a flaw. Overall, she was an absolute beauty.

The habit of spacing out so often is really not good.

They were currently being watched by everyone, and Uesugi Kiyoshi felt quite uncomfortable. He really wanted to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with acquaintances coming up and asking him all sorts of questions.

Having thought this through, he didn't care about being abrupt with Nohara Kyoko. He grabbed her sleeve and, with his head down, led her towards the school.

He was quite polite and didn't directly grab the girl's hand, but he overlooked one point: in the eyes of these onlookers, there was no essential difference between grabbing a sleeve and grabbing a hand.

They walked in silence, their steps hurried, but Kyoko Nohara's mind was in complete turmoil.

She was very introverted and had hardly ever spoken to anyone of the opposite sex since childhood. She also didn't have many friends. Suddenly being pulled aside by Uesugi Kiyoshi, coupled with the meaningful gazes and unrestrained discussions of the onlookers, made her pretty face turn as red as if it were dripping blood. She could only bury her head and follow behind Uesugi Kiyoshi, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

If it were any other man pulling her like that, she probably would have broken free and run away long ago. But being held by the hand of her savior, even if it was just by his sleeve, she still couldn't help but have some romantic thoughts.

Uesugi-kun is actually willing to be so affectionate towards me in front of everyone, so he doesn't seem to dislike me. He even saved me just now and is willing to offend those thugs for my sake.

Could it be that Uesugi-kun has feelings for me?

No, no, no! Kyoko, you're not pretty, you don't know how to dress, you speak with a country accent, and you don't even have any friends. Uesugi-kun is the top student in the grade, so handsome, and so kind and gentle. How could he possibly like you!

Apricot! You can't have such unrealistic dreams!

But if it's Uesugi-kun...

Girls' feelings are always poetry.

If you gave Nohara Kyoko another five minutes, she could probably come up with all sorts of nicknames for her and Uesugi Kiyoshi's first child.

People who live in darkness year after year will have an unyielding attachment to the first ray of sunlight they encounter.

Kiyoshi Uesugi was the first ray of light in Kyoko Nohara's life.

Chapter 10 Accident

Kyoko Nohara's face was so red it was almost steaming.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that almost everyone she met along the way was looking at her and Uesugi Kiyoshi with strange eyes.

Her heart was pounding, her mind a complete mess. She secretly glanced up at Uesugi Kiyoshi and saw a gentle smile on his handsome profile. For some reason, she felt a little more at ease. Although she was still a little shy, at least she didn't walk like a robot anymore. When Uesugi Kiyoshi grabbed her just now, she felt like her whole body didn't belong to her, and she even walked awkwardly.

As time went by, she even had the thought, "It wouldn't be bad if we could keep going like this forever," but she quickly dismissed it with a blush.

She was introverted and had low self-esteem, feeling that she had no strengths and was worlds apart from Uesugi Kiyoshi, who was famous and outstanding at school. Naturally, she didn't dare to have any thoughts of overstepping her bounds. For example, right now, she was too embarrassed to even speak to Uesugi Kiyoshi. Some words of gratitude were hidden in her heart, and after hesitating several times, she still couldn't say them.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't care about any of that. He couldn't read minds, so naturally he couldn't guess what this delicate little rabbit-like girl was thinking.

Unfazed by the strange looks from his classmates along the way, and greeting them with a polite smile, Uesugi Kiyoshi led Nohara Kyoko directly to the classroom door.

He was in Class A of the second year. This class was quite special; it was an "excellent class" personally designated by the principal of Haicheng Middle School. The class was basically made up of students with astonishing academic abilities and pillars of various clubs with special talents. In short, the students in this class could all bring honor to Haicheng Middle School in some aspect. By comparison, it was somewhat like a key class in China.

Having come this far, Uesugi Kiyoshi gently released Nohara Kyoko's sleeve and stopped at the classroom door. If he dragged Nohara Kyoko into the classroom like this, there might be some rumors. He didn't really care; it was quite normal for high school students in Japan to date. He was just a little worried that Nohara Kyoko's timid personality wouldn't be able to withstand those malicious speculations.

It's not that he's narcissistic. There are at least five girls in his class who have clearly harbored feelings for him and have written him love letters. If they see this scene, will they also join in bullying Nohara Kyoko?

He had heard about the backstabbing and infighting among girls in his past life. It was said that four girls in a college dormitory could have four WeChat groups, and they would be at odds with each other all day long over the smallest things, being sarcastic and mean. He guessed that Japanese high school girls were no better.

What should he do then? He can beat up the delinquents, but he can't exactly beat up all the girls too, can he?

But to his utter surprise, while he stopped, Kyoko Nohara behind him did not.

Nohara Kyoko is at a crucial moment of struggling with herself. She wants to muster up the courage to thank Uesugi Kiyoshi, but she can't bring herself to say it in public. She is torn between waiting for a break or after school to find a secluded place to express her gratitude to Uesugi Kiyoshi, or she can use her meager allowance to buy him a small gift tomorrow to express her feelings. Hmm, I wonder what Uesugi-kun likes?

Kyoko Nohara's thoughts were all wandering around here, and her attention was not on walking at all. Anyway, with Kiyoshi Uesugi holding her sleeve, she felt extremely at ease—this was the first time she had felt this sense of peace since her parents passed away, and she cherished this long-lost sense of tranquility.

And so, under Uesugi Kiyoshi's astonished gaze, Nohara Kyoko lowered her head, blushed, and buried her face in his arms.

He lost his balance, but as a master swordsman, the impact wasn't enough to make him fall. He reached out and grabbed the sliding door of the classroom, stopping his backward fall, and was just about to say something.

As luck would have it, the classroom sliding door was suddenly pushed open hastily from the inside, and two classmates ran out one after the other, playfully chasing each other. They didn't even notice if anyone was at the door, and they ran off into the distance.

They ran away, and Uesugi Kiyoshi was in serious trouble.

He had already been bumped by Nohara Kyoko, and the support he was holding was disrupted by the action of pulling the door open. Suddenly, the weight of both of them pressed down on him, and he, holding Nohara Kyoko, uncontrollably fell to the ground.

With his skills, he could have easily gotten away, but if he had, Nohara the White Rabbit might have had a close encounter with the ground.

Uesugi Kiyoshi felt a pang of pity, so he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate. He reached out and put his arm around Nohara Kyoko's shoulder, tilting his head slightly to reduce the chance of injury from the fall. He then used his own body as a cushion for Nohara Kyoko and slammed her to the ground.

Before Kyoko Nohara could react, she felt a sudden dizziness and then fell into a warm embrace.

She stood there stunned for a full three seconds before she realized what was happening. She gasped softly, not even bothering to get up. She supported herself with her hands, feeling extremely ashamed that she had caused Uesugi Kiyoshi to fall. Even her apologetic voice was much louder.

"I'm so sorry, Uesugi-kun, I wasn't watching where I was going. Are you alright?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything; once she did, things really went wrong.

The current situation is that Uesugi Kiyoshi and Nohara Kyoko have fallen to the ground in an extremely ambiguous position. The classroom door has been opened, and Nohara Kyoko is loudly apologizing.

As soon as he shouted, all the students in the classroom turned their attention to the door.

ohh~

There's something exciting and lively to watch.

After a few seconds of silence, the classroom erupted into a cacophony of chatter.

The boys were mostly fine; at most, a few troublemakers were making a lot of noise, but they didn't mean any harm. Uesugi Kiyoshi was quite popular among the boys. Having lived two lives, he was naturally good at interpersonal relationships and could easily build good relationships with some high school students.

The girls' whispers became much more sinister.

Nohara Kyoko was not a good fit for the class and had no friends. She was ostracized by the girls' clique and was already disliked. Now, Uesugi Kiyoshi, the universally acknowledged high-quality cabbage of Class 2-A, had been quietly snatched away by this little white rabbit. They even hugged her in front of everyone. How could they possibly tolerate this?

Many unfriendly glances were directed at Nohara Kyoko.

Kyoko Nohara noticed the gazes of her classmates, paused for a few seconds, and then her face turned bright red, a situation that was far beyond her imagination.

She scrambled to her feet, her lips moved but she didn't say anything. She simply bowed deeply to Uesugi Kiyoshi as an apology, then hurriedly ran back to her seat, buried her face in her arms, and lay on her desk, trying to avoid the strange looks.

Watching Nohara Kyoko's actions, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt a pang of sadness for no apparent reason.

Kyoko Nohara has become accustomed to "escaping".

Simply running away won't solve any problems.

Chapter 11 Kudo Yuichi

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head, stood up briskly, dusted himself off, and then walked into the classroom with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

He had no intention of explaining anything. People's perception of things always tends to be based on what they want to see, rather than the so-called truth. Even if he explained it to the heavens, and this ambiguous misunderstanding occurred, these idle high school students probably wouldn't believe him if he said he had nothing to do with Nohara Kyoko.

If he were to go and say something to Nohara Kyoko at this point, it would only add fuel to the fire, which would not be a good idea.

Let's leave it at that for now. There's plenty of time. The system in his head has stopped playing the suona for him, probably because he has gained Nohara Kyoko's "approval".

However, he couldn't find a trace of the "Yingcao" demon's soul.

Is the level of recognition still insufficient?

Uesugi Kiyoshi was completely baffled, so he decided not to think too much about it and just take it one step at a time. Without any known information, he really couldn't make any plans.

After sitting down in his seat, Uesugi Kiyoshi put away his sword pouch, took out his books, and prepared for class.

At that moment, the person sitting to his right moved closer to him, familiarly put his arm around Uesugi Kiyoshi's shoulder, and whispered in his ear.

"Qing, you're something else."

"So that's why you threw away all those love letters that pretty girls asked me to deliver to you without even reading them. So this is the kind of girl you like?"

"Nohara Kyoko? I think that's her name. Well, to be honest, in terms of figure alone, she definitely blows away all those girls who are interested in you."

"But you're moving way too fast! I haven't received any news at all, so how come you're already hugging and kissing in public!"

The teasing tone and casual mannerisms suggest a friendly, albeit sarcastic, way of communicating between close friends, indicating a good relationship between the visitor and Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced sideways at the newcomer and rolled his eyes.

He's a normal person, and he has friends too. The person who came over to talk to him was his best friend from Haicheng Middle School, named Kudo Yuichi.

Kudo Yuichi has messy, tousled hair, delicate features, and a somewhat thin build. Overall, he looks quite ordinary. If you had to point out any distinctive feature, it would be his squinty eyes that he often squints together.

Kudo Yuichi was in the same class as Uesugi Kiyoshi for two consecutive years. He had a good personality and was much more mature than the average male high school student. He was always pleasant to be around and had many friends in various classes and clubs. He was a well-known know-it-all.
