A Guaranteed Face Change! / I've Seen This Takemikazuchi Before
When Cong Yu approached Takemikazuchi and asked him to become the king of the Central City, he initially refused.
Because I can't let him become king right away. First, I need to test him. Because if he doesn't want to be king, he'll just stay in the office all day.
Add some special effects, and the tail fur just "duang" and falls out completely... That's too tragic.
Therefore, it is clear that Snow Woman's concept of being a king had a profound impact on Takemikazuchi, causing him to also begin to fear becoming a king.
However, the fact that Snow Woman is so diligent and handles the affairs of North Capital every day is quite rare among the King of Glory players.
First of all, most King of Glory players have their own teams and assistants.
Even though Cong Yu doesn't seem to have any "knight order" or anything like that, she has the support of the 22nd Group and the ace squad of the Wind City Magical Girl Agency. Moreover, Wind City also has a mayor, and Snow Woman- onna is the mayor herself... In addition, two of the Four Great Families are currently in a honeymoon period with Cong Yu.
Perhaps this is what is meant by having connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
The power in the North Capital is too highly centralized. If a cabinet is not established, it would be quite reasonable for the Snow Woman Maiden to end up like Zhuge Kongming.
Secondly, other countries and cities don't have as many problems North Capital.
Because the Snow Woman and other strange people who love snow and ice gather there, there are many matters that require Snow Woman approval.
"However, this is not the norm for a true king."
As Cong Yu spoke, she organized the three-way meeting between Takemikazuchi, herself, and Qili, while Hong watched from the sidelines.
"The Snow Woman's rule is very special; no one can compare to her, not even me... and you are always free."
If Cong Yu were to handle too many administrative tasks, he might roll his eyes, stick out his tongue, and even feel like hibernating.
.
In other words, Cong Yu knew that he was the one who ruled Fengdu, which is why he chose to abandon direct and straightforward rule over Wind City and instead adopt a so-called Half King's Rule.
Nominally, Wind City is already the King of Wind City, but as a tourist, you might ask, "Where is the King of Wind City?" As an outsider, you'd really like to see it and broaden your horizons.
Sorry, Wind City don't know this.
"My idea for you is... after you take over Central City, you should just rush into the Magical Girl Headquarters cafeteria and feast."
As she said this, Cong Yu stroked Takemikazuchi's hair. "Then just pat your butt and leave. You don't need to worry about what happens after that."
Logically speaking, once Spirit Vein is occupied, if Takemikazuchi doesn't take care of it, it's easy for it to be taken back... just like the Vatican City.
But we don't need to worry about that right now.
"Just think of it as having another place to freeload meals, and you can be really brazen about it. I'll take care of everything else."
As she said this, Cong Yu glanced at the ever-silent Qili and continued, "When the time comes, Takemikazuchi, you can order whatever you want to eat."
"They can beg for food openly, legitimately, and righteously, eating as much as they want, and even going inside to sleep."
Cong Yu said this, Takemikazuchi immediately became somewhat tempted... It doesn't really matter where you sleep, sleeping on a recliner is the same.
But the allure of the Cong Yu continues—
"You can have tempura if you want, and you can order as many pork cutlets as you want. You can even give suggestions—you can skip the burdock and green peppers."
"..." In Cong Yu's voice, Takemikazuchi perfectly demonstrated what it meant to go from "thinking about it" to "slightly interested" to "go for it."
(Qili: You change your expression so quickly?)
However, it seems that Cong Yu actually knows Takemikazuchi quite well, because it simply doesn't like to eat burdock.
Green peppers and leafy green vegetables are barely edible.
Having settled Takemikazuchi's opinion, Cong Yu turned to Qili, who had remained silent until now. "What do you think?"
Qili found this rather baffling.
"Um... this has nothing to do with me, right?"
As Qili said this, she still didn't quite understand why Cong Yu and Takemikazuchi had asked her to participate in their discussion of this matter.
Why do you need to tell me things like "occupy" or "rule" in front of me? Is there any need to tell me?
"Well, there are some, if I had to say."
Cong Yu stated frankly, "You should tell the association about this."
Very well, it's another case of being a mouthpiece.
Qili has been acting as Cong Yu's messenger lately; Qili was the one who helped contact headquarters regarding the Radiation City incident.
Currently, Cong Yu's relationship with the association is quite good; you could say they're in their honeymoon phase...
However, this time the nature of the situation is somewhat different.
"..." Qili looked somewhat embarrassed, indicating that she was a little unsure how to describe "this matter" to the Magical Girl Association.
It can only be said that she was in a difficult position, and I believe that the association members who know about this will also be in a very difficult position... It is indeed a difficult position.
It's pointless to Anti-King.
Because what a king needs is hard to change no matter how much others try to dissuade him... and Japan has its own unique national circumstances.
If you offend one, next time there might be two.
Having provoked two Monster Kings, three might come looking for trouble next time...
The number of top-ranked players will continue to increase, eventually reaching a cap of five... At that point, Japan might be completely overrun with players.
I don't think it's necessary to say it.
As she spoke, Qili sighed and guessed, "I guess after I report this, the higher-ups will definitely ask me to persuade you... and naturally, I won't be able to persuade you, and then I'll be made to take the blame again, which is very troublesome."
Yes, it was persuasion.
As I've said many times before, the Monster King is Calamity... just like an earthquake or a typhoon, there's no option to "destroy" it.
"Avoidance," "relocation," and "leaving it to fate" are the correct solutions... The most radical term is simply "resistance."
"Ah, indeed, that's why I understand your difficulties and have done you a little favor..."
Having said that, Cong Yu changed the subject, keeping everyone in suspense. "What do you think of the security and environment in Wind City? How does it compare to Central City?"
This point is beyond explanation and doubt.
Even though Wind City is considered a large and relatively developed city, the intensity of the monster attacks is like that of a rural town.
That's truly enviable.
Although everyone laughs at how the city of Wind City like a baby, who wouldn't want to live as safe as Wind City?
But why bring this up all of a sudden?
Seeing Qili's questioning gaze, Cong Yu stated directly, "After Takemikazuchi himself king, Japan will be considered completely occupied... and those troublemaking Monster Group will begin to withdraw from Central City."
There are several key points to this statement.
One is "complete occupation," which doesn't seem like a good thing. But upon reflection, it seems to be just a declaration.
As for the other one...
The group will withdraw.
Central City.
"Um..."
Qili hesitated for a moment, then confidently patted her chest. "Okay, leave this to me!"
(Takemikazuchi: Such a quick change of heart?)
I've seen this Takemikazuchi before, as described in Chapter 400.
What is the relationship between humans and monsters... or rather, between humans and monsters, and between humans and the "King of Monsters"?
The answer is probably something like this...
The Americas are to space exploration, Namekians are to concrete No. 24, and rabbits are to tanks.
"..." What? You mean by this meme?
There's no particular joke involved; it simply means "completely unrelated."
Unless you add a prefix to "human" and then another prefix to "Monster King," turning it into something like "Australia human" or "Death King."
But if that happens, it will never end.
Overall, the human is like a butterfly perched on an apple, and then the human picks the apple and sees the butterfly.
With a wave of his hand, the butterfly flew away.
But everything is normal, and people don't care how the little butterfly feels after losing the apple.
The same applies to kings and their territories.
If the Monster King sets his sights on the territory and intends to seize it, it will likely be very difficult for humanity to change Monster King mind or mount an effective resistance.
At this point, we need to think about...
What does the Monster King want?
If it's just about "land," then the survival of humanity isn't crucial; however, in a more general sense...
If a Monster King is particularly fond of a certain territory, then it is very likely that he also likes humans and their local customs.
Or rather, this Monster King was born here when he was still human.
There are many reasons.
But no matter how you think about it...
"Just to freeload?!"
At the Magical Girl Association meeting, everyone was somewhat amazed by the information provided by Magical Girl Azure Sky ☆ Qili.
At the same time, the veracity of the information she provided was also questioned.
Don't treat us like fools, okay?
What kind of Monster King would claim the title just to freeload anytime, anywhere? He'd probably be a cannibal! (sounding)
Qili, however, ignored the strange expressions on her colleagues' faces and continued reporting to the association elder, "The report points out information about Monster King named Takemikazuchi."
"His hobbies, personality traits, and the ruling methods he agreed upon with the King of Wind City, etc... can all be seen on the big screen."
As for those unrealistic messages on the screen—"Find a place to get water," "Eat fried chicken for free," "No burdock," and the like.
The members of the Magical Girl Association, who were meeting here at the moment, looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never considered this possibility before.
After all, in their minds, while the Monster King wasn't exactly an evil being, he was still incompatible with the peaceful life of humans.
Why would someone call themselves king just to freeload?
"So, can we take this situation as Monster King's usual attempt to make amends? After all, there's really no need to discuss this with us."
These words were spoken by Sanzukawa Amahara (Chapter 140). As this year's outstanding magical girl, she revealed this crucial point.
Indeed, if the Monster King really wants to take over Central City, then the magical girl's opinion is completely irrelevant...
Being forced to say "I have no opinion" is an example of this.
"Takemikazuchi... This king doesn't show off his skills at all. I haven't heard much about him before."
An elder spoke, then looked at the photo of Takemikazuchi on the Qili PowerPoint presentation, and said, "It is indeed somewhat difficult to understand."
His words drew everyone's attention to the large screen, and some of them immediately became tense.
"Wait! I recognize this Takemikazuchi!!"
"I've seen him in the park! Lying on a deck chair, fast asleep!" a magical girl exclaimed, staring in shock at Takemikazuchi's unflattering photo.
In response to her words, another person couldn't help but chime in. "Isn't this one of the Wind City's Ten Mysteries...? I thought it was one of those obscure animals that would appear in some popular online animal analysis video!"
It turns out to be the Monster King!
"So that means..."
One of the magical girls, unsure of what expression to make, said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've seen convenience store clerks feeding it."
What? That's outrageous!
How come everyone knows each other?
However, upon reflection, everyone's feelings towards Takemikazuchi became somewhat more affectionate, though they probably had no choice in the first place.
