Passersby seemed quite curious about what was happening here; instead of a knightly salute, they were using a two-handed salute.
When performing this greeting, the palms are placed together on the ground in front of the body, the spine and neck are straight, the whole body is leaning forward, and the face is almost touching the ground. This is the highest level of etiquette and is often used by subordinates to superiors or to honored guests.
And now, such the highest level of courtesy is being shown to a young boy, a scene that naturally attracts a lot of attention from passersby.
"Isn't your room leader going to come out to greet us?" Shirou asked curiously.
"She has already gathered the magicians from the branch and is waiting for you."
Amakasu Touma addressed Shirou with utmost respect, not daring to be negligent in his etiquette.
"Would you like to greet me inside? Fine, I don't want to be so ostentatious."
Presumably, these Japanese magicians wouldn't dare to harbor any disrespectful thoughts; otherwise, the god-slayers who had come here before would have already sunk this island.
The two men in suits immediately bowed to Shirou, their obsequious manner almost a local custom, and Shirou didn't seem to mind.
"Perhaps I don't know how to greet you."
Liliana, who was standing beside her, spoke up.
"As the head of the Tokyo branch office, he should be a high-ranking person. How could he not know how to greet someone?"
Erica seemed to find it somewhat ridiculous.
"According to the information, this room leader named Saya Miyako is only seventeen years old..."
Alice recalled.
"They are older than Erica and the others."
As Shirou spoke, he stepped into the elevator.
Stepping into the elevator, watching the buttons light up and then dim, Erica spoke to Shirou.
"According to the information, the head of the Tokyo branch of the Official History Compilation Committee is named Kaoru Sayamiya. Although her spiritual power is not as strong as Yuri Mariya's, she is still a 'shrine maiden' of the Sayamiya family, one of the four major families. She is currently sixteen years old and is a student, studying in the first year of the private Joukan Academy High School."
……
"It finally happened..."
Saya Miyako looked at the elevator display, not
Seeing the constantly increasing numbers, he took a deep breath, feeling somewhat nervous.
⑤I Qi Ba (8) Zero Chess VI (1)
Unexpectedly, having just become the head of the Tokyo branch of the official editorial committee this year, she is already facing a "demon king," and every second of waiting is an ordeal for Sayamiya Kaoru.
"Get ready, Wanli Valley."
Saya Miyako reminded the girl standing behind her, who was dressed as a shrine maiden and looked nervous.
"Ah...um..."
Yuri Mariya nodded somewhat blankly, already resigned to her fate.
Ding Dong!
As the elevator doors slowly opened, a red-haired boy dressed in a pure white tuxedo appeared in Saya Miyako's line of sight.
The boy's pale golden eyes darted around, scanning everyone present before turning his gaze back to Saya Miyako as if he were uninterested.
Beside the boy was a beautiful white woman with an alluring, perfume-like demeanor. Her stunningly slender figure resembled a lily blooming in a royal garden, making Saya Kaoru feel inferior.
This blonde girl, with her impeccable elegance and natural noblewoman-like demeanor, was once known as the "White Priestess Princess," the former chairperson of the Council of Wise Men. Her fame was known to everyone in the Japanese magic world.
Even though she was a woman herself and had a pretty face, Sayamiya Kaoru couldn't bring herself to compare herself to the other woman.
That was an overwhelming beauty; only the two knight princesses standing beside the 'King' could rival the princess's beauty.
One is Erica Briantley, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Briantley family in the Italian magic world. She belongs to the Milanese magic society "Red Copper Black Cross" and holds the rank of Grand Knight while also having the nickname "Crimson Demon".
Another woman who is no less impressive than her is Liliana Kranichal, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Kranichal family in the Italian magic world. She belongs to the Milanese magic society "Bronze Black Cross," holds a Grand Knight rank comparable to Erica, and is also known as the "Sword Fairy."
Chapter Fifty-Nine: Are you teaching me how to do things?
Both of them are very famous in Italy, possessing not only outstanding beauty but also top-tier skills in the magic world.
Now, Princess Alice, Erica Brontë, and Liliana Kranichal, three women with great strength and outstanding beauty, have all become subjects of this "king".
"Welcome, Your Majesty Orihara, who has traveled all the way from Italy to Tokyo, and... Princess Alice..."
Although she had rehearsed the scene of facing this Demon King countless times in her mind, when the moment actually arrived, Saya Miyako felt her heart beating unusually fast, and even her breathing became somewhat short. It was as if the air around her had become thinner because of the arrival of this 'King'.
Saya Miyako's body trembled slightly. Even though she had not personally witnessed the Demon King's power, she still felt awe.
She is the 'Hime Shrine Maiden' of the Saya family, one of the four great families. Although she is not yet at the level of Yuri Mariya, her spiritual power is still stronger than that of ordinary shrine maidens. Naturally, she can sense the immense power that this 'King' is constantly releasing.
That is an invisible pressure that magicians, knights, and priestesses naturally possess, which can only be obtained by defeating the 'disobedient god' and usurping its power to become a god-slayer.
This is the oppressive feeling that a strong person naturally brings. Just imagining the power of a god that can easily destroy a continent is enough to make her tremble with fear.
Shirou looked at Sayamiya Kaoru and the 'Hime-shrine maiden' Mariya Yuri standing beside her, and smiled.
"It seems you're not foolish enough to hide her away. Marquis Voban can find a powerful witch with no trouble at all."
Shirou's words startled Sayamiya Kaoru, sending a chill down her spine and causing cold sweat to break out on her forehead.
She did have this idea, but she ultimately rejected it because she didn't believe Japan was capable of hiding a 'shrine maiden' in front of a god-slayer with divine powers.
This is simply suicidal!
Even if she succeeds in hiding Yuri Mariya and making it impossible for Marquis Voban to find her, what will happen then?
Marquis Voban, facing defeat in this tiny island nation, would undoubtedly be furious and, in a fit of rage, sink the island into the sea.
If that time comes, she will be Japan's biggest sinner.
"But what is your purpose in bringing her to me now?"
Shirou smiled as he looked at Sayamiya Kaoru, his pale golden eyes seeming to see everything about her in an instant.
Princess Alice seemed to have thought of something after hearing Shirou's words and chimed in.
"Could it be that you want to exchange it for the 'King's' protection?"
Stared at by four people, Saya Miyako inwardly groaned; her little schemes had been easily seen through.
And it was even directly stated.
Saya Miyako glanced cautiously at Princess Alice, the most powerful witch in Europe, known as the "White Priestess".
"Judging from your expression, I guess I was right, wasn't I?" Princess Alice smiled confidently and beautifully. Her smile made Saya Miyako feel as bright as an angel. Her clear blue eyes and the perfect crescent shape of her lips seemed to dispel any gloom.
However, Saya Miyako's mood quickly plummeted.
"..."
The air was filled with the cool air from the air conditioner, but Saya Miyako seemed to feel no coolness at all. Her body was frozen in place, and her forehead was covered with fine sweat.
She was no longer going to let things drag on like this; for the sake of Japan's survival, she had to make a decision as soon as possible!
Sayamiya Kaoru took a step forward, bowed her head to Shirou, and gave a deep bow.
"Your Excellency, King Orihara, we are willing to offer you the most powerful shrine maiden in Japan, and we only beg you to take her with you when you leave Japan."
Upon hearing Saya Miyako's words, the girl dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit looked flustered and nervous on her fair face.
However, the scenario that Saya Miyako had envisioned—the king agreeing—did not occur; instead, she received an answer she had never expected.
"Are you teaching me what to do?"
These sudden words sent a chill down Saya Miyako's spine, and a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Yuri Mariya is a 'Priestess', a surviving sacrifice from the last ritual held by Marquis Voban to summon the 'Disobedient God'. No matter which 'King' obtains her again, she will not be as lucky as she was last time.
Not only will Yuri Mariya be unable to escape death, but the entire country of Japan will also be affected by the battle between the god-slayer and the 'disobedient god'.
Looking back at the 'disobedient gods' that have appeared in the past, which one didn't possess the power to destroy a country at will?
The island nation's size simply couldn't withstand the Demon King's devastation.
Now, my every word and action may even determine the fate of this island nation.
Thinking of this, Saya Miyako's face turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and her body began to shudder.
"My King, please forgive our mistakes!"
"Mistakes? What mistakes have you made this time?"
Shirou, a smile playing on his lips, looked at Sayamiya Kaoru with interest and asked.
"me……"
The girl froze, speechless for a moment.
At this moment, Yuri Mariya, who was standing behind her, spoke up somewhat nervously.
“My king… please calm your anger…”
Shirou looked at this 'Hime-shrine maiden' and said with a bit of a laugh.
"They're planning to sell you out, and you're still taking her side?"
"I……"
Yuri Mariya lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved, her eyes welling up with tears, as if she were about to cry.
Shirou looked at the girl whom the "Official History Compilation Committee" intended to use as a bargaining chip and gently shook his head.
With Princess Alice, the 'White Priestess,' around, why would he need any other 'Princess Priestess'?
If Marquis Voban knew that Princess Alice had recovered, he would surely covet her.
Therefore, when they both set foot on this island nation, their battle was already inevitable.
Shirou bypassed the members of the Official History Compilation Committee who were standing respectfully to the side and went to Sayamiya Kaoru's office, where he sat down in her office chair.
"Immediately disperse all unrelated personnel in the vicinity and do not allow them to remain on the street, otherwise they will bear the consequences."
After Shirou gave the order, everyone realized what might happen next.
Whether their decision to welcome this 'king' was right or wrong will soon be revealed.
