What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

190. What would it be like if a light rain turned into a drizzle?

"The last royal noble family of Izumo, the Izumo clan, has always been committed to improving the living conditions of beastman slaves."

"The annual Lily of the Valley Festival has begun."

"There are still not many orcs to be seen at this year's Lily of the Valley Festival."

"Is the issue of hierarchy between orcs and humans still an insurmountable chasm?"

"Let's interview the Izumo clan, the advocate of the Lily of the Valley Festival."

"Yes! Let's see what brilliant ideas the Izumo clan has."

……

The reporters then surrounded the entrance to the Izumo family's manor.

However, today, Izumo was clearly not as calm and composed as usual, nor did he have the good temper that everyone expected.

She kept her face half-covered the whole time, but she couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.

She wasn't wearing an elegant gown or any jewelry; she was just wearing a casual outfit, the kind that wasn't quite the right size—the pants and top weren't a matching set!

Moreover, she didn't even wear makeup today.

This is completely inconsistent with her usual public image.

If she were to be broadcast in her current image, countless people in Izumo would be heartbroken, their idol images shattered.

"Uh, it seems like Ms. Izumo has been working for several weeks straight and is a bit overworked...uh..." The reporter racked his brains, trying to cover up this terrible situation for her.

However, Izumo waved her hand, signaling her to stop.

"I haven't had any work lately. Are you sure you're not trying to smear me by reporting on me like this?"

The reporters looked at each other.

This is something they hadn't considered.

But that doesn't seem to be the main point, does it?

"You don't need to speculate about why I'm so listless. The reason is simple: I don't want to do this anymore."

"what?!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

"What do you mean by 'I don't want to do this anymore'?"

Izumo looked at the reporter with a strange expression: "What else could it be? Of course, it's that I don't want to do what a king does anymore. I suggest you elect a new king as soon as possible to take over my mess."

After she said that, all the reporters tacitly turned off their cameras.

This is a big deal.

Who would dare to broadcast such a deadly news?

Izumo scoffed, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Please don't say that.

"Yes!"

"If this kind of thing gets out, it will cause huge panic."

Reporters were trying to persuade her to retract her decision.

However, Izumo clan member merely sneered and said, "I have ruled you for over two hundred years. You may not be tired, but I am. Please, do you really think I care about your lives? Hmph, laughable."

These words actually came from the mouth of the usually gentle and kind Izumo clan.

Everyone looked utterly astonished.

Before the situation could get any more out of control, the old butler who had been accompanying the Izumo clan went out and suspended today's interview duties.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this way please. Our estate has prepared some snacks and tea."

The old butler led the reporters to a secluded courtyard, gave each of them a thick red envelope, and instructed them to immediately forget everything they had heard and seen that day.

in fact……

Even if he hadn't told them that, they would have done it anyway.

Nobody wants to see the world descend into chaos.

Izumo's governing ability wasn't great, but at least she was very strong. She was like a human-shaped giant Ivan, wasn't she?

She must stay obediently in Izumo and serve as the untitled ruler in order to maintain the stability of Izumo!

If she quits, then Izumo will truly be finished.

"What's wrong with the Izumo clan?"

Everyone was making guesses.

"It seems like something's really wrong with her."

"Could it be that he/she has broken up with his/her boyfriend/girlfriend?"

"Maybe he really is heartbroken."

"But who could possibly make Izumo lose her love? She is the most beautiful woman in Izumo."

The old butler coughed lightly and slowly took out a portrait from his suit pocket.

The person in the portrait is clearly Su Yu.

"Everyone, I have a favor to ask of you all: to find the person in this portrait. To be honest, my master has been unable to eat or drink and has become listless because of this person's appearance."

The reporters crowded around, scrutinizing Su Yu's face closely.

Upon confirming that the ears on Su Yu's head were not decorative, everyone gasped in shock.

"Good heavens, it's an orc!"

"I thought that the Izumo clan's talk of respecting orcs and improving their lives was just empty talk!"

"I never expected that they really cared about orcs!"

Suddenly, the image of the Izumo clan in their minds was greatly elevated.

In this world, there are many nobles who choose to be hypocritical in order to win people's hearts, but in fact they look down on orcs at all!

The Izumo clan is the first noble family to be so devoted to a beastman slave that they would neglect their food and drink.

"This is definitely going to be big news."

"I imagine that the Izumo clan will get an unusually high number of votes in the next election."

"Please allow us to report this poignant love story!"

The housekeeper had a vague feeling that things were developing in a way that was beyond his expectations.

However, as long as we can stabilize Izumo Province and the Izumo clan's position, then let them report it.

Anyway, it's all for world peace.

……

At this time, the Izumo clan had no idea what kind of storm was about to be stirred up.

However, she had already packed her bags and was ready to leave the manor.

Even if it means digging three feet into the ground, she will find Su Yu!

Then, she would use her own eyes to see for herself and prove what relationship Su Yu had with her master!

She wouldn't easily believe the ghost king's nonsense.

The moment she stepped out the door, news began to fly everywhere about her unrequited love and her willingness to give up her current dominant position for a catgirl.

The entire Izumo Kingdom was in an uproar.

Other dignitaries in Izumo were also unable to eat or sleep because of this absurd news.

"Isn't this just a publicity stunt?"

"How could the Izumo clan possibly give up their stable rule, which they have maintained for two hundred years, for the sake of the orcs!"

"Damn it, how come I didn't think of this kind of hype tactic?"

"Is it too late for me to start a relationship with an orc?"

This method will only be effective for the first person to use it.

Other powerful figures, however much they wanted to follow suit, could only hold back to avoid provoking public outrage.

"This woman, besides her looks, also has such a scheming mind."

Genji, one of the powerful figures, was gritting his teeth at that moment.

After the Lily of the Valley Festival, the election of the monarch will take place once every fifty years.

At this critical juncture, the Izumo clan pulled this stunt on them; it's hard to believe it wasn't a meticulously planned operation!

"His heartbreak act is incredibly convincing! When did he start planning this?"

In short, the most important thing now is to find this catgirl.

If we find her, then this farce can end.

At that time, as long as we torture and coerce this catgirl, we can make her tell the truth behind this farce in front of the camera!

"Damn Izumo clan, don't think you can get away with this. At that moment, I will make sure you are utterly disgraced!"

How could this powerful figure have imagined that the Izumo clan truly didn't want to continue their rule?

The day when people understand each other is still a long way off.

……

At this moment, Su Yu was also unaware that outside of Chuyun Mountain, such a huge uproar was being stirred up because of her.

She had just eaten a dessert, a water mochi made by Ryoko herself.
