A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 72 I've never been happy being prime minister
"Fire! Fire!"

Yokohama City

The Tokyo coastline, once lined with skyscrapers and dotted with docks, has been turned into a battlefield.

Da da da da,

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Gunshots rang out like popping beans, and explosions continued to erupt incessantly.

In the sky, loitering munition drones flew one after another, then exploded into bursts of fireworks; on the ground, American soldiers hiding behind armored vehicles opened fire.

Regardless of the type of weapon—light or heavy machine guns, autocannons, or individual rocket launchers—just fire at the target's location.

By maximizing 'firepower coverage,' they successfully slowed down the opponent.

swish swish swish swish

Amidst the smoke and dust from the explosions and gunfire, invisible slashes flew out, overturning armored vehicles and tearing buildings apart.

American casualties continued to rise, while the enemy remained unscathed.

"Captain Rogers,"

Behind the ruins of the building, a soldier crawling towards them couldn't help but speak.

"What's the point of us continuing to fight like this?!"

If the guns they carried were just sticks to burn, their sacrifices would be worthless: this is something no one can accept.

"That's an order, soldiers!"

Leaning against a half-concrete wall,

The Black captain fired a burst of bullets in the direction of the billowing smoke.

He answered seriously while changing the magazine.

"The island nation's supernatural beings are still fighting; our goal is to create an opportunity for her!"

"But--"

"All right, Captain."

The soldiers who were lying on the ground got up and swept a burst of bullets towards the smoke and dust.

Their role is to distract: currently, the only remaining member of the island nation's 'supernatural force' is the girl with the gun, who is capable of holding her own against the enemy.

According to the traditions of island nations, it should be called a 'tactical transfer'.

"Master, let's escape."

"There's no need to fight anymore—"

"Shut up, Number 2!"

"That enemy is indeed too strong."

On the shoulder of Kaori Inoue as she races through the city, several arguing little figures perch.

As they say, the 'princess' in fairy tales is too powerful.

With terrifying mobility, attack range, strength, speed, and physique, it has no weaknesses. Its other 'colleagues' have either died or been wounded and withdrawn from the battle; now only their master, Inoue Kaori, remains to fight.

If it weren't for the American military and the island nation's police department's concerted efforts to delay, I fear:
Someone then had to pick up a pen and 'revise' the script.

"No, the battle is not over yet."

Kaori Inoue, who was hiding behind the building, shook her head.

"If I don't stand up, that 'princess' will continue to cause destruction everywhere, what if..."

What if I hurt Brother Lu?
crisis,

It's best to extinguish the fire in advance.

"Don't worry, we're not without a chance."

Tear————

A tearing sound suddenly came from the building behind them, along with the arrogant words of the 'princess'.

"Little sister, where are you hiding?"

"Where did your courage go?"

Boom~~
As the buildings behind her collapsed, Kaori Inoue had already run away.

Neither the collapsing buildings nor the gunfire that raged around her posed any obstacle to her; on the contrary, after she ran past, the collapsing buildings formed roadblocks, and bullets and drones flew behind her, forcing her pursuers to waste time dealing with these troubles.

The situation appears to be a cat-and-mouse game, but it is actually developing in a direction that benefits Inoue Kaori.
"Yes, I'm relieved now."

Banqiao District
In a certain detached house,
Sitting on the bed, Qiu Yuelu looked at the book in her hand and put down her quill pen.

The 'Lucky Fruit' truly lives up to its reputation as a bug-level fruit. Moreover, after he modified it, it was constantly absorbing other people's 'luck': each person didn't have much, such as stepping in dog poop, forgetting to bring their keys, or cutting their fingers while chopping vegetables.

Moreover, everyone's 'luck' is different.

That's about the average person's luck.

However, during this period, Kaori was in contact with either large financial groups, the Metropolitan Police Department, or at the very least, people from the University of Tokyo.

Compared to ordinary people, they all possess 'luck', and the amount of 'luck' absorbed from them is enormous.

In this way, it will take some time for that 'Cinderella' to catch up with Kaori.

Not to mention hurting her.

Luck is truly unbeatable.

"It is indeed very similar to someone's Stand ability,"

As long as you don't encounter the 'destined protagonist' or someone who eats the 'lucky fruit', you can always thrive.

Since Kaori indicated that she could "fight another three hundred rounds," Akizuki Ritsu was in no hurry to start writing.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Someone is certainly leisurely,

The island's cabinet, however, is currently very busy.

"We are conducting an active and thorough investigation into the supernatural disaster that occurred in Yokohama, and will release relevant conclusions once they are reached."

During a video conference of world leaders, the prime minister of an island nation was speaking nonsense in a serious manner.

"Mr. Prime Minister, we don't want to hear this kind of diplomatic rhetoric!"

Prime Minister Sandeuk waved his hand, “Our country’s ‘legendary figures’ are being attacked, which is a serious violation of international law and must be stopped immediately!”

OK,

Go and call out "Cinderella!"
Look at that princess, won't she kick you to death?
The island nation's prime minister slightly raised his eyelids, but his facial expression remained unchanged.

"Mr. Prime Minister, firstly, we have not confirmed the nature of this supernatural disaster; secondly, according to international law, we have not violated any relevant regulations."

Who can't wrangle and argue? It's a basic skill for politicians. In any case, the island nation will not allow other countries to interfere.

Yes, that 'princess' wreaked havoc in the island nation as if it were her own territory.

But so what?
Her very existence is a huge 'benefit'!
The fairy tale kingdom does exist!
Not to mention the existence of another 'world,' a fact that is utterly shocking to humanity's technological and worldview.

The benefits inherent in the world of fairy tales alone are enough to make one's mouth water.

The all-knowing magic mirror, the glove that turns stones into gold, the firebox that commands giant dogs, and the 'water of life' that can bring the dead back to life and heal all wounds and diseases!
Since Cinderella's 'glass slipper' and 'pumpkin carriage' have appeared, do these magical treasures also exist?

Children only see the love, friendship, and family affection in fairy tales.

In the eyes of adults:

It is a land of ambition where interests abound!
Any treasure could change the fate of them, or even the nation.

For example, there's that 'Cinderella' who's currently dominating Tokyo and unstoppable: if she could get her hands on the 'glass slipper'... no, it seems only she can wear that slipper.

What about the pumpkin carriage?

"Our country believes that you should open your borders and allow the 'observer mission' to intervene."

The French president also spoke out to exert pressure.
These Western European countries have already spoken out privately.

Using her 'Cinderella' persona, she must seize the opportunity to intervene in supernatural events.

To date, all supernatural resources have been firmly controlled by island nations and the United States: these are things that overturn traditional science, so how can other countries not be worried?
Just like during the Age of Exploration, whoever set sail first and occupied more colonies gained greater influence: England only achieved its century-long reign of supreme power after defeating the Spanish Armada.

A new era is just around the corner; how can these countries be willing to be shut out?
"I second that,"

"I second that,"

"I second that,"

Italy, Turkey, and other countries echoed this sentiment. They are not fools; the only way to snatch food from America's jaws is to band together.

With many NATO countries speaking out, most world leaders have turned their attention to the British Prime Minister.

"I"

The British Prime Minister spoke slowly.
"—They've come to withdraw from NATO."

???

Wait a minute, didn't we agree to all work together to put pressure on each other? Why are you going directly to—

"Wait, why? What happened?"

The American golden retriever, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them in confusion.

"We created NATO together, haven't we been very happy all these years?"

"That's not the case, Mr. President."

However, the English Prime Minister gave a cold rejection.

"Since we are a member state of the organization, why don't you allow us to participate in the research on supernatural forces?"

"Your side has seized all the supernatural resources, and now you're even unwilling to share with San Dezi's 'legendary figure.' Do you still have any respect for us, the members of the unified entity?"

The British Prime Minister, for some reason, dared to defy the British President.

"Not just in our country,"

“Many member states think the same way.”

NATO was originally created to guard against Russia.

However, as the Soviet Union collapsed and split into many countries such as Russia, Russia II, and others, NATO's target gradually shifted to Russia.

The reason why Russia and Russia went to war was precisely because of NATO's eastward expansion, with its cannons now pointed at Russia's doorstep; in essence, Russia is now fighting against the NATO countries!

We're at war militarily, but what about people's livelihoods?
Without access to cheap natural gas and oil from Russia, the US has to import expensive energy from America and maintain NATO's high military spending. Many of the smaller member states are already dissatisfied.

Especially in the last year, the American president, with his blond hair, came to power.

He didn't take the war with Russia seriously, which has resulted in Western European countries now being the ones providing aid to Russia.

As a result, military spending has continued to rise, and people in various countries who have long been accustomed to peace and high welfare have naturally complained.

“As members of the organization, we are excluded from matters of the supernatural.”

The British Prime Minister leaned forward slightly.
"Commander-in-Chief of America,"

"Let's get involved too, or—"

Western European countries withdrew from NATO.

"Phew, it's finally over."

After a long, fruitless, and unpleasant argument, the island nation's prime minister cancelled the video conference.

I picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip.
"Mr. Prime Minister, regarding the dispute just now..."

His secretary stepped forward, only to be met with a wry smile and a wave of his hand from the island nation's prime minister.

"I don't want to talk about work anymore,"

"too tired."

Under England's leadership, Western European countries pressured America, yet no one mentioned the island nation.

To put it bluntly, neither side took the island nation seriously.

How can he carry out his duties as prime minister?
"There's nothing to be happy about being prime minister."

Unfortunately, there is still one thing to do right now.
"Prime Minister, what about the 'Princess'?"

"Leave it to Director Fujita."

With his eyes closed, the island nation's prime minister declared that he didn't want to care about anything and that he was also desperate.

Tired, destroy it.
