The Strongest Deputy: Izayoi Sakamaki / This Is How Friendships Begin ...
The next morning, in Arthur's room.
"What... is this thing?" Izayoi Sakamaki asked, somewhat astonished, looking at the black parchment in Arthur's hand.
Eyesight... no... it's Instinct!
His incredibly keen Instinct told him that this Black Parchment was definitely not a simple thing.
"This thing is kind of a privilege of the 'GM' in this world!" Arthur lay half-reclined on the large Simmons mattress, his legs crossed, holding a Black Parchment in his hand, explaining to Izayoi Sakamaki sitting on the edge of the bed, "The Demon King that Black Rabbit mentioned became a natural disaster because he abused this privilege."
After a night of deliberation, Arthur finally made a decision.
He accepted Izayoi Sakamaki's offer to follow him!
Having traversed four worlds, Arthur finally encountered someone whose personality, intelligence, strength, and behavior perfectly suited his tastes, and thus took on his first "subordinate."
Rather than calling them "subordinates," they are more like "team partners," or even "vice presidents," "strategists," and "henchmen."
Izayoi Sakamaki can take on any of the above jobs.
And Arthur believed he could definitely do a great job.
After all, if you were to describe Izayoi Sakamaki from the perspective of a player, he would be just like yourself.
Not only is he a master strategist, but he is also a master of physical prowess.
Arthur was also very curious about what kind of waves their guild would make in this Little Garden gods, demons, and various myths coexist.
"What's this thing called?" Upon hearing Arthur's words, Izayoi Sakamaki's eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly.
At the same time, I also felt a surge of excitement and the joy of chasing.
This Black Parchment represents a certain privilege in this world.
Those who abuse it will become Demon King!
These words were incredibly Haki, and Izayoi Sakamaki instantly realized the power and value of the parchment.
Clearly, this Black Parchment represents more than just powerful privilege.
It is also proof of the true strength of this world.
At the same time, this Black Parchment should be a product of this world and would not be allowed to circulate outside.
The "boss" in front of them arrived at the same time, but in less than a day, he obtained this Black Parchment.
It was definitely not given by someone else, but rather actively bestowed by this world, the Little Garden hub that Black Rabbit once mentioned, or the will of the world.
In other words, the strength of this "chairman" and "boss" is just as he thought; what he showed was only the tip of the Iceburg.
Arthur had no idea that his casual remark would Izayoi Sakamaki to make so many deductions.
After listening to Izayoi Sakamaki's words, he slowly said, "This thing is called 'Host Master Authority,' a privilege that allows you to force others to participate in the game."
Arthur didn't offer much explanation.
He believed that Izayoi Sakamaki was intelligent enough to understand the benefits and effects of this "Host Master Authority" from his words.
"So that's how it is. Sacred Gear to punish the weak, and a qualification to challenge the strong?" Izayoi Sakamaki incisively pointed out the function of the "Host Master Authority," her Violet Starry Eyes flashing with a brilliant light. "In other words, we can use this privilege to forcibly seize other people's territory?"
"In some ways, you're right." Arthur nodded slightly, then added, "But just as I said before, this privilege is too powerful. Many Asuras and Buddhas couldn't resist the benefits it brought and gradually succumbed, becoming Demon Kings."
"And the Demon King is a calamity!"
"Once the Demon King appears, the Floor Master will not stand idly by," Arthur said, slightly shaking the black parchment in his hand.
"That kimono-clad loli?" Izayoi Sakamaki's pupils contracted slightly, then she looked at Arthur and teased him playfully, "..." Demon King, Leader Arthur, Knights Guild Master... are you confident you can defeat that kimono-clad loli?"
Izayoi Sakamaki's words were half-joking and half-serious.
It's very easy for smart people to chat.
Arthur fully grasped this point after spending less than a day with Izayoi Sakamaki.
So, after pondering for a moment, he said, "In a life-or-death battle, I will surely lose! But in a battle of victory or defeat, given her current condition, she will lose to me."
Arthur wasn't exaggerating. Although the Shiroyasha's "Heavenly Motion Theory" Spirit Rank has been weakened time and again by Human History, and he even relinquished his divine status, he now only possesses the Spirit Rank of the god Yaksha, with a strength of only a few hundred.
But as long as she uses "Host Master Authority," her (Qian Wang Zhao) Spirit Rank will skyrocket and quickly return to double digits.
Facing the "Demon King of the White Night," Arthur faces an extremely difficult task in his quest for victory.
"The current situation?" Izayoi Sakamaki sensed something.
After witnessing the Shiroyasha's swapped world, he couldn't discern anything about the kimono-clad loli.
I never imagined that his "chairman" had such deep insight.
The difference is really huge!
Izayoi Sakamaki had no doubt about the truth of Arthur's words. From the moment he Arthur, he had considered himself a support role, while the one in charge was naturally the boss in front of him.
A good deputy doesn't even believe what the leader says.
Chapter 503 This is how friendship is formed
"Don't underestimate her; remember the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover'..."
Seeing Izayoi Sakamaki's slightly dazed expression, Arthur couldn't help but remind him. Having already considered him a partner, Arthur naturally wouldn't hesitate to nurture him, so he said, "If we compare the strong in this world to planets, then she is a star."
"Wow... that kimono-clad loli is so strong?" Izayoi Sakamaki clicked her tongue slightly in amazement.
"But that was in the past, and this world has quite a few stars," Arthur comforted him. "This world is home to many groups of gods, and the myths and legends that are popular and well-known in our world may also exist here."
"The Greek Pantheon, the Celtic Pantheon, and the Chinese Pantheon... whoever has the largest and most Izayoi Sakamaki mythology, you can assume how great their status is in this world," Arthur said, trying to enlighten Izayoi.
"I see..." Izayoi Sakamaki was very clever; he quickly understood and nodded, saying with a sudden realization, "This is the 017 world of gods and demons!"
Then, Izayoi Sakamaki looked at the black parchment in Arthur's hand, a playful smile on her face, and said, "The Demon King is a natural disaster, and natural disasters naturally cause great turmoil."
"So, if this natural disaster were to strike secretly, without anyone noticing, would it prevent the kimono-clad loli from being brought out?"
Upon hearing this, Arthur smiled slightly, and the black parchment in his hand gradually disappeared.
He exclaimed approvingly, "Brilliant!"
"It's all thanks to the student council president's teaching!" Izayoi Sakamaki replied with a smile, using a different form of address.
"Just call me Arthur," Arthur said with a faint smile.
Their relationship can be described as "president" and "vice president," or "captain" and "vice captain," or "leader" and "mentor."
On the surface, they appear to be a leader and his subordinates, but their relationship is more like that of friends.
"Let's just call you Brother Arthur, after all, you're a few years older than me." Izayoi Sakamaki didn't continue her prank, but replied with a smile.
Arthur nodded slightly, agreeing to the title Izayoi Sakamaki.
"By the way, Arthur! May I ask if I may...?" It seemed that Izayoi Sakamaki wanted to know some information or intelligence about the leader she was following.
After being instilled with some knowledge of the Little Garden by Arthur, he wasn't in a hurry to plan for the future Community. He rested his hands on the Simmons mattress, his Violet Starry Eyes fixed on Arthur, and asked with some curiosity, "You came to this world of your own volition, didn't you?"
Arthur nodded, admitting it outright.
"Since you came here on your own initiative, you must have other goals, right? Could you tell me what our Community's ultimate goal is?" Izayoi Sakamaki's voice couldn't hide her excitement.
He vaguely sensed the strength of the leader he followed.
A powerful person like him came into this world with a certain purpose.
A powerful person like him came into this world with a certain purpose.
That purpose, or goal, is definitely not simple.
For Izayoi Sakamaki, it was definitely a delightful and moving experience that she longed for.
"... That's not something I can't tell you." Arthur pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then slowly said, "My purpose in coming here is indeed to defeat a 'person'."
"But it's also to find a stable place, a place where my women can settle down."
"A woman? Oh..." Surprisingly, Izayoi Sakamaki didn't focus on the kind of being Arthur, a powerful figure, wanted to defeat. Instead, she paid attention to the woman Arthur mentioned, and a playful smile appeared on her face, "Could it be the famous 'Queen' Guinevere?"
"What do you think?" Arthur asked instead of answering.
"Hahaha... Just kidding, Arthur, how could you possibly become the cuckolded king from the original story?" Izayoi Sakamaki burst into laughter, then added with a hint of teasing, "But 'women'... Arthur, you've taken a different path from the original story, and you've gained quite a few female confidantes, haven't you?"
"Are you married?" Izayoi Sakamaki asked again.
"Not yet." Arthur shook his head.
"They must all be from different worlds, right?"
"Um..."
The two chatted idly, with Izayoi Sakamaki asking questions and Arthur answering.
Occasionally, Arthur would ask Izayoi Sakamaki.
The two of them chatted, prying into each other's secrets and learning more about each other's experiences and stories.
The relationship gradually strengthened; intelligent people interacted without any hidden agendas, and this relationship evolved into friendship.
Neither Arthur nor Izayoi Sakamaki are friends.
It's not that they don't want to be friends, but that no one is qualified to be their friend.
Therefore, when equally perfect people appear in front of you, and you feel a sense of mutual appreciation, it's easy to establish a friendship.
And that's the case with Arthur and Izayoi Sakamaki.
This casual chat continued until Black Rabbit and Asuka Kudou and the other girls returned victorious from their Gift Game against the "Fores-Garo" Community, before finally ending.
During this period, Arthur and Izayoi Sakamaki not only got to know each other, but also discussed their future Community.
Chapter 504 Arthur and Izayoi Sakamaki's Secret
"Well done... good job!"
In the attic of the "No-Name -Name" Community, Izayoi Sakamaki sat in the living room, washing an expensive tea set while looking at Asuka Kudou and You Kasukabe opposite him. His appreciative smile was not without arrogance, as if an adult were praising a child.
"Hmph... I don't feel the slightest bit of flattery from your praise! I, Asuka, can't sense anything from Izayoi Sakamaki's smile."
But the slight upturn of her lips revealed that she was in a good mood.
Her victory in her first Gift Game gave her a slight understanding of the rules of this world, and also brought her closer to You Kasukabe, allowing her to finally experience the feeling of friendship.
"Hmm~ This tea must be expensive, right?" Izayoi Sakamaki, who had already followed Arthur, didn't care about Asuka Kudou's attitude towards him to Izayoi Sakamaki, and now he was even less concerned.
His gaze fell on the tea leaves Arthur offered, and he took out a green leaf, his eyes lighting up as he spoke.
"It seems to be the highest grade of tea from the Demon World." Arthur thought for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, "... I think so!"
These tea leaves were all collected by Rias and Akeno Himejima for him.
Inside Arthur's spatial storage device, there are also various kinds of tea.
He just randomly picked one of them.
It is said that all the tea was of the highest grade, the kind used by the Gremory Ducal House and the Sirzechs to entertain distinguished guests.
Therefore, he wasn't sure either.
"Does your world even have Demon World?" Izayoi Sakamaki asked with interest as she started brewing tea. "Since there's Demon World, there must be Demon King, right?"
"Ah..." Arthur nodded, slightly raising his fair, jade-like hand, and seven high-heeled cups appeared simultaneously on the table in front of him.
Suddenly, a bottle of red wine without any packaging appeared out of thin air.
"What a convenient ability." Seeing Arthur's ability to manipulate objects out of thin air, everyone present instantly understood his power, and Asuka Kudou couldn't help but sigh softly.
"This must be Gift from the space realm," the Black Rabbit beside him remarked.
"Black Rabbit, Ren, Rough Guy, Yao, me, and Arthur... There are only six of us, so why is there an extra cup?" Asuka Kudou glanced at the high-heeled cup in front of her, then seemed to realize something and looked at Arthur, asking in confusion.
