Tetsu's Reply: So Arrogant-Who's Going to Take Him Down? Lin Character Technique Mastery Breaks Through 20%!

The civil official who had been standing with his head bowed nearby couldn't help lifting his gaze at those words. From the corner of his eye, he saw that single thin, yellowed sheet of paper.

A natural murmur rose in his heart.

What could such a thin sheet of paper possibly do?

And the lord even wanted him to deliver it. What use would that be?

Could this man think he was still living decades or centuries ago, in an era when a single imperial edict from the Emperor or the Shogun could accomplish anything?

Wait.

The civil official raised his gaze a little farther and saw the vermilion scabbard at the man's waist.

He remembered very clearly that this was one of the features mentioned by the attendants when they discussed "the Great Onmyoji Tetsu"!

Almost instinctively, a faint cold sweat broke out across his back. He abruptly raised his head.

Then he froze.

"Good morning."

Uesugi Tetsu sensed his gaze and greeted him with a smile.

This person was "Tetsu"?

The civil official blinked as he looked at that sunny, gentle face. The cold sweat that had just appeared somehow vanished in an instant.

Wasn't Tetsu supposedly some terrifying demon with a blue-green face and fangs, whose arms were thicker than ordinary people's waists, and who would go mad and slaughter people if he didn't eat three hundred jin of flesh and blood every day?

At that moment, the civil official felt an urge to find and beat up the attendants who had spent yesterday discussing the Great Onmyoji Tetsu at his gate while exaggerating him into an utter monster.

Uesugi Tetsu wondered why simply saying hello had made this fellow's entire atmosphere become so sunny and relaxed.

*Could there really be people into that sort of thing
