Chapter 62: Toru Won't Abandon You, May I Ask to Be Your Godfather! (Please Keep Reading!)

Uesugi Toru opened his eyes wearily on the bed, nearly vomiting.

He glanced over the dense prompts before him, then turned to look at the change in his Soul Ash count.

Soul Ash: 449→486

"This thing is way too tm stingy……"

Having hacked nonstop at the tunnel entrance for nearly twenty minutes, Uesugi Toru reckoned he'd killed at least three or four hundred Chi, yet his Soul Ash had only risen by 37 points.

Going back to Arakawa Village to find three sturdy farmers would take time and yield more than this!

What a loss; from now on, it's better to bother less with these Chi small fries.

When Shimojo Susumu enters Kisaragi Station, he must first kill a few Half-Star or higher Chi, at least saving up the 500 Soul Ash for the Ten-Pull.

However, thanks to Uesugi Toru facing a large number of multiple enemies for the first time, the growth of both skill proficiencies was decent.

【Your skill, Kiai Technique Fragment proficiency +58!】

【Kiai Technique Fragment (Mastery 144/600)】

【Your skill, Tennen Rishin-ryu proficiency +35!】

【Tennen Rishin-ryu (Entry Level 378/500)】

Tennen Rishin-ryu's proficiency increase was less than Kiai Technique……that was understandable.

After all, Uesugi Toru's Tennen Rishin-ryu had just barely reached Entry Level, just those few moves over and over.

Without taking String Hun Incense Hui to let Shizuku guide him on the side, it indeed rose quite slowly.

This problem could only be solved after Shizuku returned having mastered the Breathing Technique, or after he broke through this sword art to Proficient Level.

Although he still had one life unused, Uesugi Toru decided to sleep first.

——Continuously swinging a blade for twenty minutes, then being suffocated to death by human wave tactics, the damage to the spirit was simply immeasurable.

……

About five hours later, Uesugi Toru, his condition fully restored, simply washed up and ate, then prepared to enter Kisaragi Station again.

But before that, the line in his mobile phone unsurprisingly lit up with a red dot again.

——Let me see what's going on.

Uesugi Toru opened line and found that this time someone had actually added him as a friend.

Opening the request, he found the other person's avatar was actually a blue-haired loser heroine from a recent hit new anime.

Soon enough, Uesugi Toru knew who it was.

The two-dimensional flavor was so pungent and piercing he could smell it clearly through the phone screen.

【Never Be a Loser!: Uesugi-kun, I am Kitano Runa!】

Seeing this line name, Uesugi Toru laughed helplessly.

【You have passed "Never Be a Loser!"'s friend application.】

Just two seconds after passing, Kitano Runa sent a "Peeking and Waving" expression pack to say hello.

Uesugi Toru directly stole this expression pack and sent it back the same way.

【Never Be a Loser!: Uesugi-kun, your ID……】

【Never Be a Loser!: Brother, you smell so good. jpg】

【Tsukisuna-chan: Get to the point.】

【Never Be a Loser!: Sincerely bowing in apology. gif】

【Never Be a Loser!: Actually, it's like this, because I was riding the train halfway when I was inexplicably drawn into a spiritual event, so now I'm staying at the Special Affairs Division and dare not go out!】

Uesugi Toru understood, roughly grasping Kitano Runa's request.

【Tsukisuna-chan: Want me to go to the hospital to visit your aunt and see her discharged?】

After typing this sentence, Uesugi Toru could see the "typing……" at the top of the chat box suddenly disappear,

then the typing status appeared and disappeared back and forth several times, but finally the other side only cautiously popped out three words.

【Never Be a Loser!: Is that okay?】

Manatsu and Kitano Runa staying together at the Special Affairs Division couldn't go out to cause trouble, and Shizuku was still studying.

So the socially anxious otaku could only find him as a friend.

That was very reasonable.

Seems afraid Uesugi Toru would hesitate, Kitano Runa soon sent another message.

【Never Be a Loser!: Godfather! From now on I can whisper pillow talk in Shizuku's ear every day, helping you fiercely assist that flat-chested girl!】

What plastic bestie feelings.

【Tsukisuna-chan: Naturally okay. But skip the assist, Shizuku and I are normal friends.】

【Never Be a Loser!: Drifting half my life, only regretting not meeting a wise lord……Godfather! I'll call you then, since it's nothing now please go busy!】

【Never Be a Loser!: Clothes and toys all placed to the side dogeza. jpg】

Closing his mobile phone, Uesugi Toru felt that Kitano Runa was not only socially anxious offline, but a super socially anxious person online too.

These expression packs were definitely stolen by her lurking in various chat groups every day; anyway, they were all pretty good, he stole them all.

Waiting another two minutes, Uesugi Toru, not receiving a message, closed his eyes.

Kisaragi Station, your dad is here!

Open eyes.

Familiar railway, mountain forest, convenience store came into view.

Uesugi Toru felt something was strange, but couldn't say where it was strange.

He first transformed into a Laughing General, summoned the Two-Shaku Adult and asked: "Can you sense the position of the Taiko Drum Bell?"

Two-Shaku Adult: "Mm……right now it's right beside the tunnel entrance."

Uesugi Toru was slightly stunned.

Based on his previous encounters, the Taiko Drum Bell didn't seem like such a dim-witted Mononoke.

"Let's go into the Convenience Store first..."

Before Uesugi Toru finished speaking, the Railway actually began to tremble slightly, followed by the sound of a tram running.

Clatter clatter.

The tram stopped, and the Carriage doors slowly opened to both sides.

Then, a short-haired girl holding a flip phone, looking panicked, actually ran out from within.

Uesugi Toru and Haku-sama both looked at her, and froze in place together.

——Ye Chun!?

How could it be Ye Chun? Wasn't she already killed by the Taiko Drum Bell?!

Uesugi Toru clearly remembered that he had personally buried this bloodless-faced girl with handful after handful of dirt.

And because Uesugi Toru was not wearing Kaga Kiyomitsu at his Waist this time, Ye Chun saw a white-dressed Haku-sama at first glance.

"Little Sister, hello!"

Uesugi Toru saw Ye Chun run happily to Haku-sama's side and ask the exact same words as last time:

"——My name is Ye Chun! May I ask if you were also brought here by that Spirit Train?"

"Huh? Ah?!"

Haku-sama retreated two steps in fear, looked left and right, then looked at Uesugi Toru: "Toru-sama! Has she become an Onryo to take my life!"

Ye Chun also followed her gaze and looked over, then was scared out of her wits: "Waaah! There's an Evil Ghost! Little Sister, run!"

How could Uesugi Toru possibly let her run away.

He took a step and pressed his broad Hand Palms onto Ye Chun's head, exerting slight force,

"Run one more step and I'll crush your head."

Ye Chun immediately stopped her footsteps.

She carefully and extremely slowly raised her Hand Palms, her voice trembling: "Evil Ghost Adult, I won't move, not at all."

Uesugi Toru let go: "Come with me, don't say anything extra."

Ye Chun feared the Hannya Evil Ghost before her would eat her if she disagreed, so she nodded very honestly.

However, being able to speak was a Good Thing.

What Ye Chun feared most was encountering the kind of ghost in movies that only howled and tortured people to death; if that were the case, she'd rather commit suicide for a quicker end.

Uesugi Toru first walked into the Convenience Store and saw that pack of barbecue-flavored Potato Chips that was exactly the same from placement position to production date.

Then, under Ye Chun's Strange Gaze, he tore open the Packaging and threw the Potato Chips into his mouth.

Uesugi Toru gripped the Potato Chips bag: "The Flavor, exactly the same."

Leaving the Convenience Store, Uesugi Toru brought Ye Chun to the small Tree where he had previously buried her.

The latter was full of confusion.

She had prepared herself to be swallowed in one bite, but now it seemed she had instead become a follower along with this white-dressed Little Sister.

Also, do ghosts like eating Potato Chips? If she took out the original flavor super-large pack from her bag, could she become friends with the other party?

Ye Chun's Curiosity gradually gained the upper hand.

Uesugi Toru retreated two steps, and while staring at Ye Chun who was staring at him, he took out a Crowbar.

——Next was the time to reveal the answer.
