253 Letting Loose
Haruno grinned and clung to Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Shizuka Hiratsuka's head was throbbing so badly she kept rolling her eyes.
Tsuruko and Motoko, meanwhile, were studying what kind of Monster were passing by and where to strike them to subdue them in the shortest amount of time—their fixed gazes terrified the Monster.
Hanazawa Sakura and Inoue Hikoo played around in a very ordinary way.
The spies, seeing this, determined that there was no point in continuing to observe.
Most of the scouts dispersed Shuya the tail end of the city gate, leaving only a few behind, but they all half-heartedly played around.
Such grand festivals are indeed rare to encounter.
"Hehe, they're gone."
"Mmm."
Haruno said quietly, Shizuka Hiratsuka replied casually.
Their conversation seemed to have a hidden meaning, yet it also seemed like just a casual exchange.
Let's skip over them.
After Shuya reunited with Shuten Gozaburo, Yamatano Aoyama, Oniichi Tenba, Otake-maru great Monster, they all came out of the Monster City to greet them.
Nurarihyon did not come along; he was a senior figure, and Director Abe and others were not qualified to have him come out to greet them.
As they walked out of the city gate, the people from the Supernatural Bureau were just getting off their carriages.
Shuya had already seen the photos of the Supernatural Bureau's high-ranking officials, so he immediately went to greet Director Abe, extending his hand and saying, "Director Abe, I've heard so much about you! It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Inoue Shuya."
"Haha, Inoue- kun is indeed a handsome man!"
Director Abe shook hands with Shuya warmly, maintaining impeccable politeness on the surface.
Afterwards, Shuya introduced everyone and the demons to each other, exchanging meaningless pleasantries.
It's hypocritical, but there's no other way.
At that moment, Shuya suddenly noticed that Takaita Daisuke also there.
Unbeknownst to him, Takaita Daisuke silently praying that he wouldn't speak to him, in order to escape the troublesome situation of being summoned by the Supernatural Bureau every time.
Shuya very impressed with him and even had a special chat with him. This special treatment undoubtedly attracted the meaningful attention of the higher-ups of the Supernatural Bureau.
---You still say it has nothing to do with him?
Takaita Daisuke he had been completely wronged.
He genuinely didn't know the reason.
In fact, Shuya had long since stopped caring about him. He had only established diplomatic relations with him before out of curiosity about whether he was the protagonist of some story.
Takaita Daisuke in his thirties or forties; his life is very ordinary, and there seems to be nothing noteworthy about him.
But who can say for sure? Maybe he'll be transformed into a machine at 58 and then fight villains?
Such imaginative plot twists are quite possible in the world of Frozen Eel.
Therefore, Shuya still maintains a certain level of relationship with Takaita Daisuke.
After chatting with Takaita Daisuke, he exchanged pleasantries with the higher-ups of the Supernatural Bureau.
This harmonious scene continued until Director Abe reluctantly introduced the female bureau chiefs.
Director Abe simply gestured, "That's a female member of our department, Inoue- kun, you don't need to worry about her."
His tone was extremely perfunctory and revealed his reluctance.
Section 269, Chapter 253: Unrestrained and Dissolute
"Um?"
Shuya looked over curiously and saw that among the female bureau chiefs, there were also their female family members standing there.
They looked at Shuya with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
"You..."
Shuya noticed that their eyes looked strangely familiar.
Yes, that's the look of a fangirl.
Shuya.
... Ha, yet another subject bowing down to my children's trousers.
He smiled and glanced at Director Abe, Director Abe sensed something was wrong.
Shuya switched to idol mode, a perfect, dazzling smile on his face, and approached the female officers. "Hello."
He went over to greet them personally, causing the situation to spiral out of control.
The already excited women erupted in gasps of surprise:
"Aaaaaah! Shu-chan talked to me!"
"Ahhh! So handsome!"
"They really repair everything!"
"Zun!"
"I can't take it anymore!"
"I'm really going to faint!"
The scene was chaotic.
The male bureaucrats chuckled, looking disdainfully at the women who were usually so reserved, now collectively experiencing a climax.
Shuya smiled at them and expressed his concern; some of the girls even cried.
He's used to it.
Shuya know why, but he always felt that the Japan were particularly exaggerated when it came to idol worship.
Besides becoming a stalker, he might also rush up and stab you twenty or more times, or break into your home, or something like that.
That's insane.
Many girls cry when they meet their idols.
Shuya was always puzzled, but that didn't stop him from taking advantage of it.
The female officer and her family's fervent behavior really made the other male officers lose face, and Shuya lost his confidence when speaking to them.
Director Abe was also very unhappy, but just as he was about to say something, his daughter glared at him fiercely.
Then, under Shuya's gentle reassurance, she obediently apologized.
Director Abe was not moved at all; in fact, he even questioned who her father really was.
If he didn't know Shuya's age, he would have suspected that he had been cheated on.
However, when he noticed the shy look in his wife's eyes as she looked at Shuya, he couldn't help but recall the scene from their first date.
He fell into deep thought.
Shuya is very skilled at playing the perfect idol in front of his fans. He takes full care of their emotions and takes them into a dreamlike world.
This maneuver successfully disrupted the Supernatural Bureau's attempt to inquire about Shuya's next move.
Then he personally led the female officers and their families from the Supernatural Bureau on a tour of the Monster City. The male officers hesitated to speak, but the next moment they were greeted into the city by some girls who had transformed into Half-Monster. They were mesmerized by their smiles.
While it's not necessarily true that Monster girls are more beautiful than normal people, they certainly offer a unique and refreshing appeal.
These Onmyoji rarely had the chance to encounter such a scene, and so they were received and led around by the Monster girl.
Most of the members of the Supernatural Bureau were bewitched by male and female beauty, and the rest had no choice but to follow them into the Monster City.
The group strolled along Suzaku Avenue, stopping frequently, until almost nine o'clock.
The banquet is ready.
The banquet was to be held in the Imperial Palace Complex of the Monster City, which is the imperial city.
This Imperial Palace Complex has little to do with the real one. Although it contains some palaces, they were not built based on those real buildings.
The King of Monster is not an emperor.
During wartime, the Imperial Palace Complex served as the office and command center, but it did not require a dragon throne.
Palaces did exist, but they were merely a product of the interests of the builders of the Great Hua. They felt that an ancient city would be incongruous without palaces, so they built a few palaces on the spur of the moment.
Palaces were workplaces, not residences; the idea of palaces specifically for the harem was entirely unfounded.
Although the Imperial Palace Complex was large, it was not as well-equipped as the Heian-kyo Imperial Palace Complex Heian-kyo in reality.
In the aftermath of the war, none of the Monster would submit to the others, and they rarely even held meetings in the palace—because they couldn't decide where anyone should sit.
In the postwar era, Imperial Palace Complex served as a symbolic and tourist destination, as well as a perfect banquet venue.
There are large enough open spaces between the palaces.
Since there's no need to worry about the weather in the Monster Domain, you can play with even more peace of mind.
If the squares aren't enough, open the palace; if that's still not enough, extend four main streets from the Imperial Palace Complex as the center.
Just like now.
Around 8 o'clock, tables of food and drinks were laid out Imperial Palace Complex and on the main street outside.
Countless foods, countless drinks.
Nine o'clock.
Shuya and relatives, high-ranking members of the Alliance of Monster, members of the Supernatural Bureau, guests from other extraordinary organizations, and other important figures such as famous extraordinary individuals all gathered in the Imperial Palace Complex.
Shuya enter the palace; he simply stood in the middle of the square and announced the start.
He didn't waste any time with small talk that might spoil everyone's excitement. He simply took a sip of red wine and signaled that the banquet was officially beginning.
As the Alliance Leader of the Alliance, Shuya officially began his operation, and the Monster around him cheered, their pent-up enthusiasm erupting.
The cheers of the Monster echoed outwards, filling the entire Monster City with Monster cries, along with the frantic shouts of netizens joining in the fun.
Nurarihyon popped out from behind Shuya: "The Monster City hasn't been this lively in a long time, all thanks to the Alliance Leader."
"It's nothing, as long as you don't blame me later."
Shuya chuckled softly.
Hehehe.
Nurarihyon didn't say anything, and slowly walked towards the group of Monster hiding in the corner.
The Monster looked silently at Shuya, and a few raised their glasses in a toast to Shuya.
Shuya raised his glass with a smile to these Monster he had never seen before, but who exuded a powerful aura.
After they finished their drinks, they looked away from each other.
They didn't come to talk to Shuya, and Shuya didn't come to chat with them either.
Xiu knew their identities Shuya.
Old Monster.
Their reluctance to come had already made their intentions clear, Shuya respected their wishes.
Shuya didn't think for long before he went around toasting people with a big smile, as if he was having a great time.
He first chatted with his parents, then went to toast his teammates. Shizuka Hiratsuka drank heartily, while Tsuruko and Haruno, though not old enough to drink, also drank.
Yukino, Motoko, and Mai were just drinking beverages.
It was at this time that Shuya learned that Mai and Yukino were actually quite close.
After finishing his conversation with them, Shuya struggled to break free from Shizuka Hiratsuka and Haruno's clutches and left quickly.
As the main character among the main characters, he is an extremely busy person.
In the following time, Shuya Monster General such as Tamamo Ren, met and toasted with representatives of those extraordinary organizations, getting to know each other.
