As for Shizuka Hiratsuka, the Aoyama Sisters, and the Yukinoshita Sisters, although the hunt has stopped, they are not having an easy time either. They have decided to participate in the upcoming Kanto -Kansai Monster War and are training hard.

Unfortunately, neither Yukino nor Haruno are Monster, so they cannot attract the power of awe. Otherwise, Shuya could guarantee that their cultivation would skyrocket like a rocket.

Shuya has to squeeze out time in his spare time to train his subordinate Monster.

A disorganized group can't deal with those Monsters in Kansai.

In order to train discreetly, Shuya came up with a plan.

He gathered Monster together and used the guise of filming variety shows and playing games to train their teamwork skills.

He had the great Monster select some of their subordinates to form teams and compete in games, filmed the process, and edited it into a TV show.

It is called the "Kanto Monster Sports Meet".

For more details about the sport, please refer to Shaolin Soccer.

In addition to regular exercises, exercises unique to Monster) have been added.

For example, games that utilize the characteristics of Monster, such as aerial basketball and underwater handball.

The show became a hit after it aired, and what everyone loved most was the hilarious scene where the competition devolved into a simple brawl, and then the referee Shuya, and the great Monster angrily rushed in and beat them to a pulp.

After filming several episodes, the Monster finally settled down and started competing honestly, no longer trying to use underhanded tactics to turn the tide.

The training objective has finally been achieved.

The Monster of Kanto gradually merged into one, living their separate lives.

The Kansai region are completely unaware of the changes happening here.

The Monster in Tokyo were sent by the Kansai Headquarters to gather intelligence, but now they have all betrayed us, leaving Kansai Monster blind.

There were traitors among the Kanto Monster, but they were captured immediately. It wouldn't have been worthwhile to deal with them before, not because they couldn't be.

Most Kanto them were quite sensible after being captured. Seeing the rising power in Kanto, they surrendered on the spot, while the remaining loyalists were kept imprisoned.

Anyway, we don't need to skimp on the money to support them.

While Shuya was working himself to the bone, Niconico's growth was unstoppable.

By September, the number of registered users had exceeded 20 million.

The Hidden Website has 1.6 to 1.7 million active users.

After this period of development, the Monster and Half-Monster who uploaded spam videos also realized that videos that only showed off their figures but had no content were completely useless.

People forget about it after they've washed it.

After the ritual, if one's heart is like that of a sage, one certainly has no sense of reverence in contributing.

The opposing view is that they were once as cheap as dogs when they begged for sex, but now that they've finished, they find the person ugly.

People who've just finished their business speak with confidence!

Moreover, with so many beautiful female demons, it's easy to get tired of seeing them.

To become famous, you still need to have excellent content to back it up.

So they started uploading videos showcasing their talents.

The types of videos on this Hidden Website are changing.

Reforms to the Surface Website are also underway.

By mid-September, after two months of development, the video website had gained a large number of loyal users.

After discussing it with Inoue Hikoo, Shuya carried out a major update.

The user submission system has been officially launched on the Surface Website.

Just like the Hidden Website that produced <Y File>, Shuya also submitted some works as examples.

He also traveled around, asking many people to submit his work.

For example, I asked my Little Senior Sister and Ayako Ishikawa to record some videos of them playing classic music.

I also asked Hanazawa Sakura and Yusho Sakura to record some cover videos, and then I went to Mai- chan to do an interview video.

After that, he even went so far as to beg Kato Nobunaga some videos explaining acting techniques.

Kato Nobunaga was completely unfamiliar with the internet, but after listening to Shuya's explanation, he was willing to offer some guidance to the younger generation.

Inoue Hikoo also contributed, creating videos explaining how to make animation.

In addition to asking others for help, Shuya made his own videos explaining basic techniques for martial arts and fitness, and then had Tsuruko and Motoko demonstrate and practice together.

This is practically an all-star lineup.

These submissions from celebrities led a large number of people to join Nico Nico Douga.

In just two weeks, the number of registered users increased by more than ten million.

Shuya's demonstration video generated a great response; many people found it interesting and started making their own videos in response.

Niconico, this video website, has become quite influential.

Section 226, Four Great Monster Clans of Kanto

Time flies, and October has already arrived.

During this period, besides achieving his goal of building up the video website, the most noteworthy thing about Shuya was probably the huge success of Cardcaptor Sakura.

After a year of airing, the story has progressed to the Sakura Card Arc.

Speaking of Sakura, there's an interesting anecdote from back then.

At the end of the Clow Card Arc, when Sakura faced the Final Judgment, the Danmaku exploded. Fans were terrified that Inoue Hikoo would have another episode, reminiscent of the ridiculous ending of the original Alien Baby Hikari-chan.

They flooded Nico Nico Douga with comments and bullet Danmaku, saying that if Inoue Hikoo dared to cause trouble, the massive protest from years ago would be repeated. They hoped that Director Inoue Hikoo would be a good person and not make a mistake for himself!

Inoue Hikoo immediately picked up a keyboard and argued with them for a whole day, which eventually made the news and caused widespread panic.

Left with no other option, Shuya stepped forward to clarify, reiterating that he was one of Sakura's Main Family and would not allow Inoue Hikoo to act recklessly, assuring everyone that they could rest assured.

Shuya had no dark past, and people listened to what he said, so they felt reassured.

Then, seeing that they had shut up, Inoue Hikoo continued his smug rant for a long time.

But everyone had already given up on him.

Sakura's Final Judgment has a very exciting plot.

In the story, Sakura falls into a world where she has forgotten love, and the scenes of her frantically breaking up couples are just too cold and realistic.

Compared to previous storylines, this one suddenly becomes incredibly heart-wrenching.

Until finally, when Sakura went to Yukito's house and said in tears, "Nobody's here..."

Song Card appeared, and the melody of "Song of the Night" began to play.

To the accompaniment of a gentle song, familiar silhouettes surrounded Sakura.

Sakura finally saw Yukito.

When Sakura thought of the person she liked, she happily ran towards Yukito, and the audience realized that they had already shed tears.

End of episode.

My only thought is... Sakura is truly the best!

This episode, a culmination of past storylines, propelled Sakura's popularity to new heights.

People from all sides jumped on the bandwagon, writing comments and expressing their appreciation.

DVDs and related merchandise sold very well, and songs sung by Hanazawa Sakura also sold well. After the new opening theme was released on Platinum, it has now successfully surpassed one million copies sold.

Shuya also participated in many of Sakura's activities.

Now that he no longer needs to hunt, he spends all his time working and training Monster.

With the replenishment of the power of awe, the great Monster progressed extremely quickly, but it was still impossible for them to catch up with the Kansai Main Family in a short period of time.

The Monster) of the Kansai region have not been promoted in modern times.

The Monster on Shuya's side are working hard to make videos to promote themselves, and the Power of Awe is targeted at each individual, unlike in Kansai where it needs to be carefully allocated.

A portion of the Power of Awe that originally flowed from Kansai was diverted and redirected to the Monster of Kanto.

The Kansai Monster, sensing something amiss, sent their questions to the Kanto, ordering them to investigate.

The Kanto Monster diligently investigated for a long time and submitted a lengthy report, stating that the recent decline in morality and the loss of traditional values were caused by people's lack of reverence for Monster.

This explanation was logical and convincing, Kansai Monster were thus fooled.

Just then, Shuya's Y File, having introduced all the powerful Monster of Kanto, officially announced its conclusion.

Then, without stopping, they started the new project.

Its title is <Monster Number One>.

This is a competition to determine the strongest Monster in the Kanto.

Since the kendo tournament had just ended Shuya had won the championship again, he took the opportunity to organize a Monster tournament as well.

In theory, all Monster can participate, but they must go through a selection process.

This competition is not a game; the final results will determine its status within the league.

The world of Monster is simple: whoever is strongest will be obeyed.

Let's have a fight and decide who's the leader and who's the pawn.

The competition began with the lesser Monster below, while the greater Monster acted as judges.

The selection process involves a powerful Monster releasing its aura to exert pressure; Monster that can withstand this pressure for ten minutes will qualify for the competition.

Next, the official competition will be organized into zones with 1,000 Monster each. Ten monsters will be selected from each zone, and then they will fight their way through the rounds to determine the elite of the Kanto Monster.

They will be minor leaders when they fight against the Monster of Kansai in the future.

Of course, the alliance was not announced, and they interpreted it as a benefit event held by a great Monster to give lower-level Monster a chance to become famous, so they all participated enthusiastically.

The selection process was in full swing.

The massive battle scene of a large group of Monster was edited in post-production and uploaded to the Hidden Website, where people enjoyed watching the spectacle.

Even those with extraordinary abilities were thoroughly enjoying it, and those with extraordinary abilities from other regions even registered specifically to watch it.

The Hidden Website Niconico has skyrocketed.

Since the World Wars, this is the only place where you can see such a grand spectacle.

This matter caused quite a stir, but the Kansai Monster, confined to their Monster Domain and with their Kanto Monster, failed to notice anything amiss.

<Monster Number One> is progressing very well.

After the lesser Monster were defeated, it was the greater Monster' turn.

These powerful Monster are all listed in the Y File; they are well-known Monster families in Japan.

The Four Great Demon Clans in the Kanto are the Kanto region.

They are the Oni Clan of the Shuten Family, the Great Tengu of the Oniichi, the snake demon of the Yamata Family, and the Fox Demon of the Tamamo Family.

Although it's called one of the "Big Four," it actually has many branches within it.

For example, the Yamata Family. Legend has it that the Great Serpent Yamata has eight heads and eight tails. In reality, the Yamata Family consists of eight branches. These eight branches are of equal status, and the clan leader is chosen by the strongest.

There are many snake demons from the Yamata Family in Tokyo, the strongest of whom is Yamata Aoyama from the first branch.

As for the Great Tengu... there are forty-eight Tengu in Japan legends, among which the Great Tengu are the most famous.

These forty-eight Tengu actually refer to forty-eight Tengu Family.

Taking the "Itsukushima Three Demon Monks" from the Forty-Eight Tengu as an example, Kuan Island is the residence, and Sanguifang refers to the three leaders: the Zhuizhang Ghost God, the Mara Ghost God, and the Shimei Ghost God Tengu.

The Tengu leader in Tokyo, Oniichi Tenba, comes from the famous Kurama Mountain Sojobo clan.

This Kurama Mountain Sojobo is the Kichi Hogen where Oni-ichi Hōgen taught Ushiwakamaru swordsmanship.

Needless to say, Shuten Gozaburo belongs to the Red Oniichi among the Oni Clan. There are five major Oni Clans, each representing a different color: red, blue, yellow, green, and black.

The Fox Demon clan of Tamamo Ren is divided into nine clans, originating from the nine tails of Tamamo-no-Mae.
