A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 215 Shen Xunzi: The Emperor's Throne Takes Turns, This Year It's My Turn

"How delightful!"

"Kuang Xunzi, I will probably never forget you in my entire life."

Looking at the white paper in her hand, on which was drawn 'Kyouko' glaring and holding a knife, Inoue Kaoruko gave a victory speech to herself.

"If Brother Lu were here, he would definitely say that, right?"

The battle was over, and another shikigami had been successfully captured, but Inoue Kaoruko was not happy at all.

'Kuang Xunzi' is also a part of her, so what the other party said pierced Inoue Xunzi's heart more than a kitchen knife: In the end, Xunzi had no motivation to become stronger, and only wanted to steal her sister's man. The boring painting and training every day could not possibly be her hobby.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to such a clever trick as 'cloning'.

"It's one thing to be scolded by others, but to be scolded by myself is another."

Putting down the paper in her hand, Inoue Kaoru touched her clothes, which had been torn horizontally and turned into a standard 'crop top'. She definitely couldn't go out like this.

Then-

"Go upstairs and change your clothes."

As for how to defeat 'Mad Kaoru'? It's very simple:
"I guess it's true that this is the violent side of 'me,' because I actually did what I said I would do."

She took off her shirt, revealing the lower half of the sketchbook tucked into her pants: that's right, that 'mad Kaoru' said she would disembowel Inoue Kaoru, and she did just that: so Inoue Kaoru played along, hiding her sketchbook in front of her abdomen.

The clone 'Kuang Xunzi' slashed with her sword, but crashed directly into the picture book.

Naturally, they were unable to cut Inoue Kaoru in half at the waist.

The Inoue sisters' combat intelligence is actually quite high.

"We've already subdued 'Enchanting Foam' and 'Mad Foam,' next—"

Only the weakest, 'Good Kaoru,' and the strongest, 'God Kaoru,' remained. While changing her clothes, Inoue Kaoru racked her brains.

Where is Kaoru Kamiya?

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.

"what?"

On the plane heading back from a business trip to Rongzhigaoka, Director Fujita pressed his earpiece and asked a question.

"Can you say that again!"

"Yes, Director."

The secretary who remained at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department reported again.

"Inoue Kaoru, dressed in full regalia, appeared at the Imperial Palace, drove away the people from the Imperial Household Agency, proclaimed herself 'Empress Regent,' and established her own 'country' with the Imperial Palace as its core."

???

"Is this the shikigami 'Kami Kaoruko' that Inoue Kaoruko mentioned?"

"Yes, Director, may I ask:?"

What should the Metropolitan Police Department do?
How to do?
Cold!

"Call Ms. Inoue Kaoru and ask her to come and handle it herself!"

Inside the helicopter cabin, Director Fujita gave an impatient order.

Ultimately, this is trouble that Inoue Kaoru herself created. The Metropolitan Police Department neither wants nor dares to fight against that "God Kaoru": even without the previous strength, given the Metropolitan Police Department's combat capabilities, a fight would inevitably result in heavy casualties.

Since Ms. Inoue Kaoru 'easily' took down two shikigami, the rest should be no problem either.

So very soon—

"Kaoru, the whereabouts of 'Kaoru the God' have been found."

Then Tokugawa Mitsuko called, giving Inoue Kaoru, who had just left the Akizuki residence, a goal.

"Right here at the Imperial Palace."

"Hey?"

Inoue Kaoru paused for a moment as she stepped out of Akizuki's house and onto her bicycle.

Is this actually the Imperial Palace?
Then let's go to the Imperial Palace.
He flipped himself onto the bicycle.

Kaoru Inoue headed straight for the neighboring Chiyoda Ward without stopping.

Even if 'Kaoru' is the strongest, since she's the one who caused the trouble, she should find a way to solve it herself!

imperial residence,

"You are the Emperor?"

At the head of the Changhe Hall, dressed in a classical and elegant manner, looking like a goddess, 'Kaoru' leaned back on the throne, tilting her head to look at the middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair kneeling and bowing before her.

"Yes, I am the 'Emperor'."

The middle-aged and elderly men in suits spoke in a humble and submissive manner.

This is the current emperor of the island nation, but he is ultimately just an ordinary person, and he is already 65 years old, with his gray hair showing obvious signs of aging.

Times have changed. Many people think that the 'Emperor' is so noble and powerful, but in reality, he is just a mascot: Ever since the Taira clan brought their swords to the palace a thousand years ago, and all the nobles dared not speak out, the powerful samurai families have completely sidelined the imperial family.

Royal families in other countries envy the island nation's royal family for its unbroken imperial lineage.

However, don't the royal families of island nations also envy those who have the power of life and death?
In times of peace, or when the samurai families show them respect, the imperial family can maintain its dignified lifestyle.

In times of chaos, or when the imperial family is no longer valued, it is quite normal for the emperor to sell calligraphy and paintings to make a living.

During the Meiji Restoration, the island nation's imperial family seized an opportunity to rise briefly: then they were tamed and made obedient by the 'Five-Star Emperor'.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"I will do my utmost to accomplish what I can."

Kneeling prostrate in the main hall, the island nation's emperor cautiously inquired.

It's no wonder he acted this way. When this 'supernatural being' intruded, the Imperial Household Agency tried to stop him, and then:

There's no after that.

The template for 'Kaoru'

This is from the possession state of the great Onmyoji 'Ashiya Doman'.

In this state, 'Kaoru' is no soft-hearted person!
Those Imperial Household Agency personnel who were twisted into pretzels were the consequence of disobeying her: even if the emperor of the island nation wasn't afraid of death, he still had a wife and daughters. Besides, he wasn't exactly fearless.

"Nothing."

Leaning back on the throne, 'Shinkazu' looked somewhat dejected.

"I just wanted to try being the 'Emperor,' and you all didn't even resist? How boring, how boring."

With that, he waved his sleeve, clearly not yet 'satisfied'. We dared not resist, and we were truly sorry.

Such 'willful' words could only be silently grumbled by the island nation's emperor.

He knew her: Inoue Kaoru.

No, to be precise, it's Inoue Kaoru who was possessed by a great Onmyoji.

I don't know what's going on with this attitude. Could it be that Ashiya Dōman has returned?
Yes, as the emperor of the island nation, this man was unaware of Inoue Kaoru's situation, let alone that what was in front of him was actually a 'shikigami': the real power behind the operation of the island nation was held by cabinet ministers and zaibatsu nobles.

As for the Emperor?

Just be a mascot!

Which ruler would want an 'emperor' to appear above them?

Therefore, the royal family of the island nation has been known for its "music, chess, calligraphy, and painting" since ancient times. For example, the father of this emperor, the previous emperor, published 29 papers on "goby" and personally drew 518 species of goby. He was known as the world's number one goby research expert. In short, he was just bored.

The person kneeling in the main hall is also a viola expert who has performed on stage many times.

"I originally intended to use your head as a sacrifice for the flag,"

Leaning back on the throne, 'Kaoru' calmly uttered terrifying words.
"Since you're so sensible, you can stay and be a servant."

"Yes, thank you for your appreciation, sir."

I am at their mercy; if I dare to utter a word, my life will be in danger.

The Emperor naturally had no objection.

At his age, he has long since become indifferent to everything: after serving as a mascot for so many years, he has had to bow and apologize for natural disasters and man-made calamities, so what else is there to fuss about?
On the contrary, it was his daughter, Princess Aiko, kneeling to the side, who curiously and secretly observed the girl on the throne.

Despite her father being over sixty, Princess Aiko is only in her twenties.

Because her father was already over forty when she was born.

Modern royalty naturally have no worries about food and clothing.

Yet, they are also governed by countless rules; eating and using the restroom are all precisely timed, down to the second. Every word, every action, every smile must conform to the 'rules.' Unlike this young girl before them, so unrestrained and carefree!

"Hey, were you spying on me?"

A glance from 'Kaoru Kami' on the throne made the Emperor, who was kneeling on the ground, feel a tightness in his heart.

bad
"Yes, yes,"

His daughter, however, boldly answered,

"I admire your free and unrestrained demeanor."

"what?"

"Haha~~"

The 'Goddess Kaoru' on the throne was speechless at first, then burst into laughter.

"Freedom? That's not bad."

She's a 'shikigami' (spirit/spirit), which has nothing to do with freedom. However:
"Once I take down that 'guy,' I'll gain complete freedom, and then—"

"Taking you as my apprentice is not a bad idea."

The royal family's complete lack of resistance greatly disappointed Kaoru Kami, who had come to "seize power." Thinking differently, if she made the "Emperor" her disciple, wouldn't that make her an emperor-emperor?

As for women becoming emperors, it's not unheard of in the history of island nations!
Besides, who would dare to object when 'Goddess Kaoru' speaks?

Ok?
His eyes changed.
The expression on 'Kaoru's' face turned serious as she leaned back on the throne.

"coming."

coming?

What's coming?
Inside the main hall, the Emperor and his family were completely bewildered. Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police Department had already spotted Inoue Kaoru riding a bicycle, entering the Imperial Palace through the Hirakawa Gate, and then heading straight through the East Garden of the Imperial Palace towards the Chōwa-den Hall.

The reason the Metropolitan Police Department knows so much is because:
We're right here.

Want to see a show?
Inside the Metropolitan Police Department building, a supernatural special police officer couldn't help but scratch his head.

The Metropolitan Police Department is located just outside the Sakurada Gate of the Imperial Palace, and is only 400 meters away from the Chōwa-den Hall as the crow flies!

Even from the upper floors of the Metropolitan Police Department building, one can have a complete view of the Changhe Palace.

During the Meiji Restoration, countless secret orders came out of Sakurada Gate and were directly transmitted to the Metropolitan Police Department, from where they radiated throughout the island nation: behind the Metropolitan Police Department were the National Diet Building, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Prime Minister's Official Residence.

The island nation's key political figures are all gathered here.

Therefore, the Japanese government was fully aware of 'Kaoru's' intrusion into the Yellow Residence.

But so what,
A rescue?

Who will go?

Nobody wants to risk their life to test the power of supernatural beings.

Ashiya Doman had already performed the descent of the gods. Compared to that great Onmyoji, what is the human emperor?
"coming!"

Amidst the unconscious murmurs of countless people,
Riding her bicycle and relying on her phone for navigation, Inoue Kaoru swaggered through half of the Imperial Palace, heading towards the Chōwa-den (Changhe Hall).

"This is?"

at the same time,

One by one, the 'Kaoru-ko' emerged from the Changhe Hall.

These "Kaoru" girls are all wearing loungewear, with thick bangs, and all have the "well-behaved Kaoru" look.

However, Inoue Kaoru knew very well that she had never drawn so many "good Kaoru" characters, nor had she equipped these "good Kaoru" characters with weapons.

Yes, weapons!
These "good girls" have all sorts of weapons at their disposal: swords, spears, halberds, long guns, short guns, and more!
The Brush Fruit can draw everything from torrential rain to animal and human figures, as well as weapons, bombs, and even fire creatures, making it incredibly versatile.

"Kuang Xunzi, you're right, I was just too lazy."

Faced with the 'Kaoru's Army' blocking her way, Inoue Kaoru took out a piece of white paper: on it was a picture of 'Mad Kaoru' holding a kitchen knife and looking angry and surprised.

"So, I will no longer run away."

"I'm going to storm in and take 'Shinkazu' under my control, you—"

Would you be willing to help me?
"what?"

The next moment, a ponytail-wearing girl named 'Kyouko' emerged from the papers, holding a kitchen knife and dressed in a training uniform.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You are me, and I am you. Since you're going to fight, then:"

She, 'Crazy Foam Girl', would naturally play along to the end.
