Kiri Decides to Throw In Her Lot with the Weird King / Now That's What You Call Social Savvy (Proudly)

Cong Yu laughed menacingly as he pressed on with the question.

"Um... this... that..."

The homeroom teacher stammered, his eyes darting around, pondering the outrageous things he had recently done... Logically speaking, Cong Yu shouldn't know.

However, maybe his own father told him...

"I shouldn't have bragged about being a master of teacher-student romances at the class reunion, and even sent them your photos."

"..."

"Hahaha!!!"

Cong Yu smiled with immediate relief, but her expression instantly turned cold. She grabbed the back of her homeroom teacher's collar with one hand. "Principal... I'll take my leave now."

Class teacher. "Wait... Cong Yu, what are you doing? Stop! If someone sees this, my dignity as a teacher will be ruined... No!"

Amidst the homeroom teacher's wailing, she was dragged out of the principal's office by Cong Yu like a chick being picked up.

The principal smiled gently, waved two fingers together in the direction the two had left, and said goodbye with a flourish.

"Arrivederci--"

Chapter 108 Qili decides to seek refuge with the Monster King

"Regarding the handling of the Cong Yu and Wind City incident... On behalf of Teacher Qili, I would like to propose the following suggestions--"

The girl stood up in the conference room, her eyes fixed on the A4 paper in her hand covered with dense writing.

"Firstly, we should adopt a more conciliatory approach and wait until the other party graduates from high school or college before attempting to contact the boy named Cong Yu and interfere in his life due to his special circumstances."

The girl spoke in a measured tone, clearly reading from a prepared script, but the people attending the meeting around her didn't seem to care.

"Secondly, we reject the proposal made at the previous meeting to conduct a more rigorous review of the Wind City Magical Girl Agency. We believe that the responsibility for this incident cannot be attributed to the Wind City Magical Girl Agency."

"In this incident, the magical girls of the Wind City Magical Girl Agency have actively participated in the battles against Boss Level monsters and even King Level monsters. If you want to criticize their lack of ability, forgive my bluntness... but none of you here could have done any better."

Many people frowned at the girl's words and looked at Azure Sky ☆ Qili sitting on the elders' seat... because everyone knew that she had written the manuscript.

So, before the girl could finish speaking, a man with a furious expression slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "What a joke! Since you knew something this serious was going to happen, almost turning into a second North Capital, why didn't you request reinforcements?!"

This caused many people's faces to darken once again.

Meanwhile, Azure Sky ☆ Qili, who was sitting comfortably, laughed... She had finally gotten the impatient boy to speak up and refute her.

"Please calm down, Mr. Yuan'an... I know you're lacking..."

"They became victims, but is it really true that no one applied for support?"

Qili spoke slowly and deliberately, a smile on her face, "I applied... but I was fooled."

As she spoke, Qili glanced at everyone present, but couldn't discern who was involved in the matter.

She couldn't determine at the moment whether someone had a conflict of interest with the Cockroach Monster and Mushroom Monster's group, or simply didn't want to get involved.

Left with no other choice, Qili could only temporarily direct her anger towards the Data Division.

"I wanted to investigate information and intelligence about the 'King,' but I failed... I had no choice but to go to Europe to search for information."

"If even I can't access the Data Division and archives in the records department, then what's the point of your existence?!"

Qi Li's Qili rebuke drew everyone's attention to the head of the Data Division, making the young-looking woman somewhat embarrassed.

But she did hear that Qili wanted to look up information related to "Wang", and immediately used "I need to ask my superiors" as an excuse to stall.

That's "King" level.

However, if she had known she would become the target of public criticism, and if she had known the situation in Wind City could be resolved reasonably well, she would have simply relinquished the authority.

It's a pity I didn't know sooner.

"Um... please don't change the subject."

The head of the Data Division said with a bitter expression, trying to shift the topic away from himself. "We're discussing 'Cong Yu' right now."

If Qili wants to continue discussing the division of blame, then it can still continue... after all, everyone is happy to see the situation continue to develop.

Everyone present, whether board members, elders like Azure Sky☆Gorgeous, or members of the Yuan'an family and the Shiratori family from Wind City...

They will all have to take the blame, more or less.

However, if more of the burden could be distributed among the Data Division, then the amount of burden they would receive would undoubtedly decrease.

However, Qili did not intend to continue the argument, or rather... she did not intend to continue shifting the blame.

She's not that bad yet.

"..." In the silence, Qili looked around at the high-ranking members of the Magical Girl Association... Rotten, really rotten.

Some were simply incompetent, others were cowardly as mice... and still others were entangled with the Monster Group, having been caught red-handed and practically becoming Monster Group mole.

There are good people among them, but just like Qili right now... they can't do anything, and they know they can't change anything.

With the fall of North Capital.

The whole of Japan is destined to be a paradise for eccentrics.

The only difference is "when" and "whether it's done openly or not."

Even if you replace them with a group of people who are incredibly enthusiastic and capable... they are destined to accomplish nothing.

Unfortunately, Qili is not the president of the association.

Fortunately... she wasn't the association president.

"..."

"Ahem, so, the third proposal."

At Ms. Qili's prompting, the girl continued speaking... or rather, reading from her prepared statement. "Regarding the 'King's Rule' proposal from several years ago."

"On behalf of my teacher, Magical Girl Azure Sky ☆ Qili, and in my capacity as an elder of the Magical Girl Association... I request a restart."

The girl was somewhat confused as she read it aloud.

Although it came from her own mouth, she had never even heard of "King's Rule" or anything like that.

"..."

"Are you kidding me, Qili!"

"Don't be ridiculous, this proposal has already been rejected!"

Do you know how much international impact this will have?

Many people asked this question, standing up at the same time, looking at Qili in disbelief... However, a large number of people maintained an indifferent attitude.

Honestly, it doesn't matter anymore.

"I'm just making a suggestion... I'll report my thoughts to the cabinet. Anyone with the same idea can contact me to submit a joint petition. We'll leave the decision to the cabinet gentlemen."

As Qili spoke, looking at her indignant colleagues, she sighed softly, "I will try to find that 'King' in Wind City and explain my thoughts."

Upon hearing her say that, the person who had stood up immediately sat down.

But Qili hadn't finished speaking...

"I also appreciate those who voice their dissenting opinions at this moment, and I will try to introduce you to that king."

Everyone: You son of a bitch!

"..."

"Ahem, well then..."

In a seemingly compliant silence, Qili coughed twice, knowing that she had now completely taken control of the meeting.

"Let's begin the vote, the 41 of us here, and the 30 of us participating remotely... Let's begin the resolution on my proposals, especially the third one."

"..." 26 votes in favor, 31 abstentions, and 14 votes against.

"..." Without a doubt, Qili's proposal was approved.

Although it may not be implemented well, for example, most people probably won't really have the patience to wait until the boy named "Cong Yu" graduates before getting in touch with him.

But it passed without a doubt.

After excluding Qili and her apprentice's votes of approval, 24 other people enthusiastically cast their votes of approval.

This group of people, a portion

Perhaps they felt that what Qili said made sense, or partly because they had a vested interest in Qili.

And the remaining people who voted "yes"...

Their composition is highly questionable.

Realizing this, Qili understood once again clearly that this country was utterly beyond saving... or more accurately, it was the people who were beyond saving.

This decision was Qili's final test for herself.

If the number of veto votes is higher, then the Magical Girl Association still has hope... even just a tiny bit.

Qili will continue to make every effort to make humanity great again.

But now it seems...

I decided against it.

Chapter 109 What is Social Skill? (Proud)

"Teacher, what exactly is this 'King's Rule' you mentioned before?"

The girl asked curiously, looking around the rooftop, wondering why Teacher Qili had brought her to this tall building in Wind City again.

"It means actively increasing the number of North Capital (Beijing) cities."

Qili responded in this way.

This sounds strange, because the city of North Capital only has one... What does increasing the number mean?

The girl looked puzzled, her tuft of hair swaying on her head.

Then, the slow-to-react girl realized her teacher's underlying meaning. "Huh? Why... why?"

There are many reasons why.

"Actually, a long, long time ago, South Asia proposed the strategy of 'King's Rule'... not just proposed, but implemented."

"It's still being implemented to this day..."

As Qili spoke, she sat on the edge of the rooftop. "Before submitting to the King of Monsters, South Asia was quite chaotic... Disputes between small countries, monster incursions, smuggling—it was always a constant stream of problems."

"However, after submitting to the 'King'... while it's hard to say things have become less chaotic, the magical girls over there seem to have been 'removed'."

"The Ninth Monster Group has taken over South Asia, and the magical girls there no longer need to fight... but have completely become entertainers."

"When Monster invade, strange heroes emerge to resolve the situation; when strange heroes from other groups attack, strange heroes also fight them off..."

"..." The girl blinked, looking confused, thinking that this actually sounded pretty good... This is a good thing!

"However, in that case... the life and death of humanity truly depend on the King of Monsters' whim."

"Whether it continues to exist or not begins to depend on the 'king's' benevolence and mercy, and it also has an extremely bad reputation internationally..."

"For example, if a cabinet member approves this plan, he will be remembered with infamy in history."

"However, for us, it makes no difference anymore..."

"The Battle of North Capital exhausted all our morale and strength."

As Qili spoke, she sighed and looked at her apprentice beside her, hoping to make her understand the meaning of compromise...

Then she saw the masked man next to her apprentice... a strange man.

Cong Yu greeted the two of them cheerfully.

"Ciallo--(∠ω<)⌒★"

Then, he brazenly sat down to the right of Magical Girl Azure Sky ☆ Qili, his legs dangling in the air. "Staying in a familiar place, releasing magic power over a wide area to show off your presence... You're not trying to provoke me, are you?"

Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Qili immediately panicked. "No..."

But before she could finish the second syllable, Cong Yu immediately laughed, "Haha, just kidding... You must have been looking for me on your own initiative, right? I think we have that kind of understanding."
