Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Chapter 399 It's a face-changing scam!

　When Congyu approached Takemikazuchi and asked him to become the king of the Central Castle, he initially refused.

　Because I can't let him become king immediately; firstly, 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 "duang" falls out completely... That's too tragic.

　It is evident that Yuki-onna'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 Yuki-onna is so diligent and handles the affairs of Hokuto every day is quite rare among the Kings.

　First of all, most King of Glory players have their own teams and assistants.

　Even though Congyu 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 Fuuto Magical Girl Agency. Moreover, Fuuto also has a mayor, and Yuki-onna is the mayor herself... In addition, two of the four major families are currently in a honeymoon period with Congyu.

　Perhaps this is what is meant by having connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

　The power in the Northern Capital is too highly centralized. If a cabinet is not established, it would be reasonable for the Snow Maiden to end up like Zhuge Liang.

　Secondly, other countries and cities don't have as many problems as Beijing.

　Because the Yuki-onna and other strange people who love snow and ice gather there, there are many matters that require her approval.

　"However, this is not the usual way of a king."

　As Cong Yu spoke, she organized the three-way meeting between Kenjiro, herself, and Kirei, 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, Congyu knew that he was the one who ruled Fengdu, which is why he chose to abandon direct rule over Fengdu and instead adopt a so-called semi-royal system.

　Nominally, Fengdu is already the king of wind cities, but as a tourist, you might ask, "Where is the king of wind cities?" As an outsider, I'd really like to see it and broaden my horizons.

　Sorry, even locals in Fengdu don't know this.

　"My idea for you is... after you take over Central City, you should go straight to the cafeteria at the Magical Girl Headquarters and eat and drink to your heart's content."

　As she said this, Cong Yu stroked Jian Yu Lei's hair and said, "Then just pat your butt and leave. You don't need to worry about what happens after that."

　Logically speaking, if Takemikazuchi doesn't take care of the spiritual vein after occupying it, it's easy for it to be taken back... just like the Vatican.

　But there's no need to worry about that right now.

　"Just think of it as having another place to freeload meals, and you can be very brazen about it. I'll take care of everything else for you."

　As she said this, Cong Yu glanced at the ever-silent Qi Li and continued, "When the time comes, Jian Yu Lei, you can order whatever you want to eat."

　"You can beg for food openly, respectably, and righteously, and eat as much as you want, and you can even go inside to sleep."

　As Cong Yu said this, Jian Yu Lei was immediately tempted... It doesn't really matter where you sleep, sleeping on a recliner is the same.

　But the allure of the rain continues—

　"You can eat tempura if you want, and you can order as many fried pork cutlets as you want. You can even give suggestions—you can skip the burdock and green peppers."

　"..." In Cong Yu's voice, Jian Yu Lei perfectly demonstrated what it meant to go from "thinking about it" to "slightly interested" to "gkd".

　(Qili: You change your expression so quickly?)

　However, it seems that Congyu 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, Congyu looked at Kirei, who hadn't spoken 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 Congyu and Jianyu Lei had to invite her to discuss 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, if I had to say, there is some."

　Cong Yu said this, explaining the matter frankly: "You come and tell the association about this."

　Very well, it's another case of being a mouthpiece.

　Qili has been acting as Congyu's messenger lately. She was the one who helped contact headquarters about the Fudu 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.

　"..." Kiri looked somewhat embarrassed, indicating that she was not quite sure 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 is meaningless to defy the 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 Kings will continue to increase, until there is a cap of five... At that time, Japan may be completely blocked.

　"I don't think it's necessary to say it."

　As she said this, Qili sighed and guessed, "I guess after I finish reporting like this, the higher-ups will definitely ask me to persuade you... and then, naturally, I won't be able to persuade you, and then I'll have to take the blame again, which is very troublesome."

　Yes, it was persuasion.

　As I've said many times, Monster King is a natural disaster... just like an earthquake or a typhoon, there's no option to "destroy" him.

　"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 Fengdu? How does it compare to Central City?"

　This point is beyond explanation and doubt.

　Even though Fengdu City is considered a large and relatively developed city, the intensity of the monster attacks is like that of a rural town.

　It is indeed enviable.

　Although everyone laughs at the city for being like a baby, who wouldn't want to live in a place as safe as the city of the wind?

　But why bring this up all of a sudden?

　Under Qi Li's questioning gaze, Cong Yu said directly, "After Takemikazuchi becomes king, Japan will be considered to have been completely occupied... and those troublemaking freak groups 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, what is the relationship between humans and monsters, and between humans and the "King of Monsters"?

　The answer is probably something like this...

　Jaguars are to space exploration, Namekians are to concrete No. 24, and rabbits are to tanks.

　"..." What? What's this meme you're talking about?

　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 "Australian 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 wants to seize it, it may be very difficult for humans to change his mind and put up an effective resistance.

　At this point, we need to start thinking...

　What the Monster King wants is "something".

　If it's just about "land," then the survival of humanity isn't crucial, but generally speaking...

　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 Sora☆Kirei.

　At the same time, the veracity of the information she provided was also questioned.

　Don't treat us like fools, okay?

　What kind of weirdo 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 to report to the association elder: "The report points out information about a monster king named Takemikazuchi."

　"His hobbies, personality traits, and the ruling methods he discussed with the King of Fengdu, 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, as 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 a 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 Amagahara (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. I haven't heard much about him before."

　An elder spoke, then looked at the beautifully presented PowerPoint slides and saw a photo of Takemikazuchi, saying, "It is indeed somewhat difficult to understand."

　His words drew everyone's attention to the large screen. Some of them immediately became tense.

　"Wait! I recognize this Takemikazuchi!!"

　"I've seen him in the park! He's sleeping soundly on a deck chair!" a magical girl said, 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 top ten strange tales of Fengdu... 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 to say……"

　One of the magical girls, unsure of what expression to make, said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've seen convenience store clerks feeding it."

　What? This is 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.
