It Really Is Koto-Koto and Sake-Sake
The Rabbit Man silently complained in his heart, but his face remained completely expressionless. "I understand, is that all?"
If that's all there is to it, then thank goodness.
When Lord Cong Yu and the Doctor came together before, he was almost scared to death like a frightened rabbit.
This time, three King Level came together...
If she were still made to serve tea and water, she might really die.
In response to the Rabbit Man's question, Tamamo smiled and said, "Cong Yu, I want to eat rabbit stew... Could you reluctantly give it up?"
Rabbit Man: "!!!"
Waaaaah--
The Rabbit Man immediately understood what it meant, his eyes reddened, and he looked at Cong Yu with a pitiful expression.
Although it's just a matter of changing bodies, it will be very painful.
She was joking.
Laughing.
The Snow Woman spoke softly, looking gently at the Rabbit Man who was almost crying, and explained, "Although I don't know if you are aware of Cong Yu's wicked sense of humor... Tamamo probably learned this from Cong Yu."
Takemikazuchi didn't even bother to speak.
"That's all she's good for."
Tamamo's soft, languid expression suddenly turned fierce as she cursed at Takemikazuchi, "Shut up, you worthless piece of trash with a droopy tail!"
"What did you say?!!!"
"I said, you piece of trash whose tail sheds fur!"
"I... I... I..."
Takemikazuchi gritted his teeth, realizing that mocking Tamamo in the past wasn't the right decision... This guy holds a grudge.
Now he's deliberately making noise to criticize himself.
However, Takemikazuchi's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped proudly onto Cong Yu's shoulder. "I have Hair Growth Ointment that Cong Yu gave me, do you have any?"
You're asking for it, are you crazy?!
Tamamo gritted her teeth, but unwilling to admit defeat, she began to change the subject—
"Your soul and body... are gradually beginning to merge--"
Tamamo looked at the Rabbit Man and spoke with a keen interest, "Cong Yu, I'm serious. Let me extract her soul and take a look."
The Rabbit Man trembled and refused to speak.
Cong Yu didn't say much, but grabbed Tamamo's tail and dragged her, whose face had turned red, upstairs. "Don't scare her. I wonder who she learned such a nasty personality from."
As Cong Yu said this, amidst the sidelong glances from the others, she turned to the Rabbit Man who was letting out a sigh of relief, "Come up and help us choose rooms, and pour us some drinks—"
Rabbit Man: "..."
Rabbit Man: "Hi..."
The Rabbit Man's response seemed reluctant, his ears drooping, giving him a completely unambitious look.
They can only be described as the chosen ones, the working class.
"Ha, just kidding--"
Realizing that the Rabbit Man was unwilling, Rabbit Man Cong Yu reached out and tapped his head. "I wouldn't make you do something you don't like. There's no weirdo more loving than me."
Rabbit Man: "..."
That's... that's awful.
You haven't changed at all.
The Snow Woman commented on it like this...
"That's quite a twisted sense of humor, Cong Yu."
Takemikazuchi complained.
Tamamo's tail struggled in Cong Yu's hand. "Seven parts of my personality are pure white, and the remaining three parts have been stained black by you."
"..." Shuten remained silent... It wasn't that she was afraid to speak up and satirize Cong Yu, nor was it that she was afraid of retaliation, but rather that everyone else had already said their piece, and she had nothing left to say.
But she wouldn't be satisfied if she didn't say something at a time like this.
So I need to say something different, to make my presence known.
"But it's precisely because of this kind of Cong Yu that I like it so much--"
"..." Then Shuten's face was immediately drawn by Tamamo and Snow Woman...
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let go of me! Let go of me!!"
--
"So, let's get back to the topic we didn't finish discussing earlier. My ability to rule Wind City ahead of schedule is largely thanks to the help of a benefactor."
Cong Yu said this, she gently picked up the wine bowl, supporting it with a single finger and twirling it on her finger.
"The reason why the peace I hoped for was achieved is naturally because the magical girl chose to compromise because of the 'precedent'."
As she said this, Cong Yu looked at the Snow Woman beside her and said, "Then I was wondering if my situation could be replicated?"
As Cong Yu spoke, Snow Woman also twirled a wine bowl in her fingers, but her technique, skill, and even flair were far superior to Cong Yu's.
The clear wine in the bowl sloshed around, but not a single drop spilled.
The wine bowl in the Snow Woman's hand wasn't even swaying steadily; it was tilting up and down, with each shake pushing the surface tension of the water to its limit.
The round wine bowl, as it rotates, forms a pattern that doesn't appear to be a circle, but rather a hexagonal snowflake.
"Holy crap! How did they do that?!"
Shuten was dumbfounded.
"Hahaha--"
Tamamo smiled.
"Ha... Hoo--"
Takemikazuchi is already drunk...
"..."
"Hey! Be serious!"
Cong Yu was somewhat speechless. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know where Takemikazuchi wants to become king, but perhaps Tamamo and Shuten could also become kings in the same way I did."
As Cong Yu spoke, observing the awkward atmosphere between Tamamo and Shuten, she asked, "Wasn't your relationship quite normal before?"
Shuten his lips and drank his wine, unsure of what to say in response to Cong Yu's words, while Tamamo helplessly propped his face up with his hand.
"But you and the Snow Woman have both become kings... and we don't know what to do. We have a feeling of having lost."
Tamamo said this...
Cong Yu: "But, isn't Takemikazuchi always quite happy?"
"Are you comparing me to Takemikazuchi?"
That makes sense.
"But you two are friends after all... maybe not friends, but at least you should be acquaintances."
As Cong Yu said this, he chuckled softly and suggested to the two of them, "In that case, how about you maintain the status quo?"
"..."
"Should I maintain the status quo with Shuten?"
"Should we maintain the status quo?"
"..."
"Yes, even if it's for my own good, okay?"
Cong Yu tilted her head, winked at the two of them, her dark eyes seemingly reflecting starlight. "You two, inseparable, loving, harmonious and happy... share Kyoto!"
"..." Both of their hearts skipped a beat at the same time.
Oh no, it's a charm attack! I/I can't say no!
No, Tamamo / Shuten, you must reject him!
With these thoughts in mind...
"Since you've put it that way, we'll reluctantly accept it..."
"Okay, I'll give it a try..."
Chapter 146 It's truly a case of zither and wine!
The problem appears to have been solved.
Shuten and Tamamo's relationship has finally been restored to normal... it seems they've reached an agreement on the matter of "becoming king".
A weirdo... or rather, the Monster King.
It's not just strange people; even those in high positions among humans are like this: the higher they stand, the more they lose the spirit of sharing.
The weak will band together for warmth and will attach themselves to the strong.
Strong people naturally also enjoy socializing.
These individuals, who are "relatively strong" already, have lost the need to "band together," and their social interactions are merely a hobby.
However, this hobby often cannot conflict with "preference".
Shuten and Tamamo undoubtedly "favored" Kyoto, and each of them relinquished a portion of Kyoto.
On the one hand, they know each other's temperaments.
Able to tolerate cooperating with the other party.
On the other hand, what can overcome "favoritism" is naturally also "favoritism"... This may sound complicated.
To put it simply...
It's about weighing the pros and cons.
If you cling to Kyoto and insist that the other party become king elsewhere, it would seem selfish and unfair.
But the description of "Monster King" doesn't seem to fit at all.
So let's just say "preference" still applies...
Their "favoritism" towards Kyoto Cong Yu's "favoritism" towards them, their "favoritism" towards Cong Yu, and their love for their current friendship.
And love for the present situation...
"Hey! So that's why I called that magical girl over?"
Cong Yu said this, he grabbed one of Tamamo's huge tails with one hand and used it like a feather duster to pat Tamamo's head.
"..."
"Drink, Shuten -dōji... raise your cup with me."
"..." Cong Yu looked at Shuten, who was drunk but still had a clear Shuten: "Tamamo is already out of control, don't try to persuade her too much... Although she's a decent drinker and shouldn't cause any trouble, you guys should still keep an eye on her."
This casino is, after all, an asset of our own group. Demolishing it would feel like a disservice to the Big Shadow who's in charge of making money and worldly affairs.
"I understand. Just go and call out to that Azure Sky ☆ Qili!"
Shuten- dōji swung his hand with a hearty laugh, while Snow Woman, who had been watching this group of lively characters interact, elegantly held her sake bowl and couldn't help but chuckle, "Truly as expected of you."
"While discussing business over drinks is common, bringing a magical girl to a freak's party... that's practically unique in the world--"
