Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

However, it must be admitted that sometimes force can indeed quickly resolve some issues or people.

He delivered a side kick with lightning speed, knocking Muraoka Taichi to the ground.

He immediately squatted down, and to the utter astonishment of Muraoka Taichi, a hand grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

"What do you want to do!" Muraoka Taichi shouted, his voice sharp but his actions betraying his true intentions.

Kenichi Uesugi patted his face. "So, Mr. Muraoka, can you apologize to my sister now?"

Muraoka Taichi wanted to refuse, but he immediately chickened out after seeing Uesugi Kenichi's eyes, which seemed to look at him like he was dead.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it was my fault. She didn't steal my wallet at all. I'm so sorry, please forgive me!"

Uesugi Kenichi put her down, then gave the onlookers a cold look before picking up Kagura Keiko and leaving under the trembling gazes of everyone.

Muraoka Taichi wanted to say something harsh, but looking in the direction Uesugi Kenichi left, he couldn't utter a single word, and couldn't even stand steadily.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Don't Blame Me If You Die

"Onii-san, put me down." Kagura Keiko struggled for a moment, her face flushed. Being held by Uesugi Kenichi like this made her feel like a little child.

"Hmm." Uesugi Kenichi released Kagura Keiko's hand and said, "Don't worry about these things. The darker it is, the more precious the light will be when it comes."

Keiko Kagura walked quietly with her head down, saying nothing.

"Onii-san, have I caused you a lot of trouble?" Kagura Keiko stopped, looking down and appearing very forlorn.

Kenichi Uesugi looked at her with a puzzled expression. "How could that be? With you around, Onii-san is much happier."

"Really?" Keiko Kagura asked uncertainly.

"real!"

"But why is Onii-san so good to me? I'm just a prostitute's child, I don't even know who my father is, and now my mother is dead. I'm a jinx, I have no money, I have nothing..." Kagura Keiko said, tears falling down her face again.

"Why? Yes, why?" Uesugi Kenichi said, somewhat sighing, then laughed, "Actually, I don't know why either."

"Eh?"

"Why is there a reason? If Onii-san wants to do it, he should just do it. Keiko-chan is so cute, it's only natural that she's likable."

"Really? Is Keiko really cute?"

"Yes, very cute."

He chuckled and pinched Kagura Keiko's cheek. "Alright, don't think so much. Kids don't have so many worries. Just focus on being happy, Onii-san. Let's go, Onii-san will take you out for a big meal today."

"Mmm!" Kagura Keiko wiped away her tears and gave Uesugi Kenichi a big smile.

Onii-san, I will definitely repay you properly. Wait for me, Onii-san.

Her face flushed slightly as she secretly glanced at Uesugi Kenichi. At this moment, she longed to grow up as soon as possible, so that she could stand beside her brother in a different capacity.

"Onii-san, shall we go get some hamburgers?"

"No, hamburgers aren't very nutritious. Let's go eat hot pot instead."

"You're so domineering, you're a dictator!" Kagura Keiko pouted, but secretly swallowed. Of course she wanted to eat hot pot too, since it had lots and lots of meat in it.

But in her opinion, her brother was still a student and probably didn't have much money, so eating hot pot would be very expensive...

"So, would you like to go eat hot pot with this dictator, Keiko-chan?"

"But I still think hamburgers taste better."

"Rejected. Don't worry, Onii-san has money." Uesugi Kenichi glanced at Kagura Keiko and saw through her little scheme, then ruffled her freshly styled hair into a mess.

"Onii-san is so annoying." Kagura Keiko said with a smile, but as she said this, she moved her head even closer so that Uesugi Kenichi could rub it.

"Can I have a Coke?"

"You can only have one drink."

“Two cups!”

"no!"

"Well!"

……

After finishing the hot pot, under Kagura's reluctant gaze, he took Kagura Keiko back to the orphanage. Back home, Uesugi Kenichi brewed a cup of tea, took a delightful sip, and comfortably leaned against a pillow.

Delicious food can indeed fill people's hearts with happiness, and it is even more so when you enjoy it with loved ones.

After resting for a while, Sugiyama Kenichi opened the window and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, feeling a rare sense of peace in his heart.

Perhaps it was because Keiko Kagura had regained her cheerfulness, or perhaps it was a reflection on being alone in a foreign land.

He suddenly had the urge to go out for a walk. After thinking about it, he changed his clothes and went out.

It's almost 11 o'clock now, and there are hardly any people left on the streets around here.

He wandered aimlessly until he reached a small park nearby. He turned around, a smile on his face, enjoying the unique beauty of the night.

The world is never lacking in beautiful places; what it lacks is a heart that can discover beauty and an attitude that can appreciate beautiful scenery.

He had visited this park many times before, but never before had it felt so beautiful.

He quietly circled around twice and was about to go back when his expression suddenly hardened, and he turned his gaze to what was behind him.

"Who?" He turned around. Although he didn't see anyone, his intuition told him that a gaze had just fallen on him, as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake.

"As expected of the man I've chosen. I tried my best to be careful, but you still found out. But it's alright, I was about to lose my temper anyway." A beautiful figure in purple emerged from the shadows behind a tree.

Uesugi Kenichi frowned slightly, unsure of this person's purpose, but he seemed to have some ill intentions.

"Bukushima-senpai?" After the person completely emerged from the shadows, Uesugi Kenichi could see the person's appearance clearly. It seemed to be Busujima Saeko, a third-year student.

Saeko Busujima was extremely famous at Yamato Private Academy. Although they had never interacted, he had seen the president of the kendo club at the school.

This left Uesugi Kenichi even more confused, wondering why she was there and why she seemed hostile towards him.

Saeko Busujima watched as Kenichi Uesugi excitedly licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint in her eyes. She then threw a wooden sword at Kenichi Uesugi.

"Come on, Uesugi-kun, let's have a fight."

Kenichi Uesugi casually took the wooden sword and asked, "Why?"

"You can fool others with that bloodthirsty aura about you, but you can't fool me. Can you tell me what it feels like to kill someone?" The closer Saeko Busujima got to Kenichi Uesugi, the harder it was for her to suppress her bloodthirsty desires.

She had actually realized something was wrong with her long ago. In junior high school, she was attacked by someone with malicious intent on her way home from school. However, because she carried a wooden knife with her, she deliberately let the other person get close to her and then used the wooden knife to severely injure him, breaking his leg bone and shoulder blade.

When violence was used, she felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, she felt genuine joy and excitement.

From then on, she discovered a deep-seated urge within herself to crave violence and bloodlust.

In her mind, she knew that what she was doing was wrong and felt very guilty. From then on, she tried her best to suppress this perverted desire in her heart.

However, the longer the suppression lasts, the stronger the urge to commit violence and the more intense the desire to kill becomes.

All of this erupted completely when he sensed the fierce and bloodthirsty aura emanating from Uesugi Kenichi.

It was like a wolf that had been starving for a long time seeing a piece of delicious meat.

Uesugi Kenichi remained silent for a while. Although he had never actually killed anyone, he had killed nearly a hundred people in the simulated battlefield.

"Then come on, but don't blame me if you die."

Seeing the extremely excited smile in Saeko Busujima's eyes, a cold glint flashed in his own, realizing that he wouldn't be able to leave without a fight today.

Chapter 55 Battle against Saeko Busujima

Saeko Busujima laughed loudly, brandishing her wooden sword, and strode forward, shouting, "If you can do it, then kill me!"

With his swords in hand, Uesugi Kenichi stared intently at Busujima Saeko. After parrying her side slash, he slid forward and thrust his sword towards Busujima Saeko's waist.

Saeko Busujima remained unfazed when she saw her attack blocked; this was exactly what she had expected. She wouldn't have been so excited if Kenichi Uesugi hadn't been able to block even one of her attacks.

"Hah!" Saeko Busujima slashed downwards with her wooden sword, deflecting the extremely insidious attack. Then, she raised the sword high with both hands and brought it down on Kenichi Uesugi's head. The wooden sword descended rapidly, creating a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air. She showed no mercy; if this strike landed on Kenichi Uesugi's head, it would be an instant kill.

"Slay!" Uesugi Ken's expression grew even colder. Since the other party showed no intention of showing mercy, he wouldn't either.

Facing Saeko Busujima's powerful slash, he did not back down at all. He twisted his waist to meet the attack with his own sword!

tie!

The two wooden swords clashed with a dull thud, and Saeko Busujima staggered back three steps, a hint of undisguised surprise flashing in her eyes.

Although she was a girl, she was no less strong than any boy. In fact, many boys couldn't even match her strength. Yet, Uesugi Kenichi managed to suppress the power of both hands with just the force of a single swing of his hand.

Uesugi Kenichi showed no mercy whatsoever. Taking advantage of Saeko Busujima's unsteady footing, he stepped forward and slashed down with his sword again and again.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of wooden swords clashing rang out continuously. Saeko Busujima was struggling to defend herself against Kenichi Uesugi's storm-like attacks. Although she was at a disadvantage, her eyes grew increasingly excited.

"That's it, that's it, this feeling is amazing!"

Saeko Busujima, having undergone extensive training, understood that if things continued this way, defeat was only a matter of time. She realized she shouldn't have engaged in a strength contest with Kenichi Uesugi in the first place.

Under Uesugi Kenichi's continuous and powerful slashes, she felt her hands trembling slightly, and the clash of the wooden swords made her palms numb.

Taking advantage of the collision, Saeko Busujima rolled away without any regard for her image, escaping Kenichi Uesugi's attack range.

"boom."

The powerful slash landed on the ground, sending all the sand and gravel flying.

The battle between the two sides at this moment has completely deviated from the traditional sword duel. It is more like two warriors fighting for their lives, without any rules to bind them. The victor is accompanied by the fall of the other!

Call ~

Kenichi Uesugi let out a deep breath, feeling that Saeko Busujima truly lived up to her reputation, worthy of being a second-year student who won the national kendo championship.

His experience in swordsmanship was no less than that of the opponents he had encountered in the simulated battlefield.

If he weren't weaker than him in various physical attributes, he might not have been the one to win this battle.

Saeko Busujima, holding a knife in both hands, gasped for breath, her eyes burning with intensity as she stared intently at Kenichi Uesugi.

"Do you want to fight again?"

"Of course! I haven't lost yet!"

Uesugi Kenichi pursed his lips, quickly stepped forward, twisted his waist, and slashed horizontally. Busujima Saeko sprang back several steps, then sprang again and slashed diagonally in a mid-section stance.

The wooden swords clashed rapidly, and Saeko Busujima once again rolled to extend her attack range beyond Kenichi Uesugi's reach. She had now given up on the idea of ​​a direct confrontation with Kenichi Uesugi, and was thinking of wearing down his patience and winning through skill.
