Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

"It's not me who's leaving, it's us who're leaving together."

"We, the eight Snake families... no, it should be said that all the mixed-bloods in Japan have been trapped in the darkness for too long."

"We associate with filth, claim to be kings in darkness, but are afraid of the bright world."

"We don't have to fear that world—because it's our world."

Uesugi Eriya said word by word.

She felt her body getting a little hot.

——This was not an illusion. All the hybrids present felt the power contained in her words.

And because of this power, the golden eyes had to burn.

"Ah, I see!"

While everyone else was still confused by Uesugi Eriya's words, it was Yabuki Sakura who first realized what this little girl was trying to say:

"You mean, we, the eight Snake families? No, the mixed-bloods of all Japan, shouldn't be hidden in the dark."

"Young Master, the Uesugi family head probably means that we should not be satisfied with the position of [Shadow Emperor]."

"We are now fully capable of becoming a true Emperor."

"Is that so, Master Uesugi?"

Yabuki Sakura said excitedly.

The word "separation" sounds so sad and so scary.

However, if Lady Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto wants to take everyone a step further and challenge the true, supreme power... then the other family heads will probably cry out and lead the way for her.

——We are not mice and we are not born to like darkness.

We can collect taxes openly in the name of the country; who would be willing to be a gangster and collect protection fees?

"Ah... that's about right... should I beg?"

Chapter 266: The Eight Snake Clans: We Want to Improve Too Much

This is a well-known fact:

In this world, most of the reasons that sound high-sounding actually become excuses for a small number of people to gain benefits and wealth in the end.

Using tiger skin as a banner, selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton - all the interest exchanges in the world are nothing more than this.

“But actually, there’s another way to put it.”

“It’s actually very simple to unite those people.”

"As long as we give them a big enough benefit, that's enough."

Morgan often lamented that the people living in this era "are no longer as kind-hearted as they used to be" - compared to modern humans, she, the witch, looked more beautiful, gentle and kind.

But Shirataki believes that this is the most "distinctive" aspect of the human race.

“The human species is vast, but the power of an individual is insignificant.”

"How to use the tiny power of an individual to leverage a large population and leverage the power of that population to achieve one's own ideals requires utilizing their wisdom."

For example, now.

[The separation plan of the Eight Snake Qi Families].

If Uesugi Erie puts out this sign, it will definitely cause a huge uproar among the Snake Eight Families.

By then, those most conservative old-fashioned people will definitely use various methods to persuade Uesugi Erie to retract this "stupid" and "naive" idea.

Even an internal split among the Eight Snake Qi Families is not completely impossible.

But now, after being advised by Yabuki Sakura, the very wise Uesugi Erii changed the theme of the meeting to [Gentlemen, we cannot be satisfied with the status quo, we should go further, this world belongs to us, and we should actively fulfill our obligations].

"..."

silence.

First, silence.

Except for Minamoto no Chisei who closed his eyes and rested as if nothing had anything to do with him, the heads of the other "Five Outer Families" gathered in this shrine with a history of thousands of years, looking at each other in confusion.

They looked at Uesugi Eriya, who was sitting under the tablet in the shrine, wearing a shrine maiden's costume. At this moment, their eagerness for the girl [Uesugi Eriya] finally surpassed their respect for the [head of the Uesugi family].

"You, you mean."

"We...are going to take on the duties of the police?"

Finally, someone couldn't help but speak first.

The person who said this was Fuma Kotaro, the head of the Fuma family.

His ancestor was the famous [King of Ninja].

Their family is the most powerful among the five outer families, and is mainly responsible for managing the guard forces and intelligence department - the so-called [Fighting Department].

But the problem is... they have a powerful weapon in their hands, but they have never had a legitimate reason to use this "weapon".

Not only them, but all the eight Sheqi families are in the same situation.

The half-bloods hiding in the dark are said to have expanded their influence to every corner of Japan - but influence is influence, and "direct control" is another concept.

If one can openly take charge of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Self-Defense Forces, who would be willing to be a "ninja" hiding in the dark corners?

"You mean... we can openly organize nationwide auditions and create an idol group?"

The person who said this was Inuyama He.

This old man, who has been a pimp since he was 16, has a bright light in his eyes.

The Inuyama family was renowned in the entertainment industry, and their Tamamonomae was the most luxurious entertainment venue in Japan—but so what? Its audience was ultimately limited.

When it comes to making money, it’s definitely better to promote idols openly and engage in various cultural industries to make money!

"We should have done this a long time ago!"

"We, descendants of the gods, hide in the shadows, while ordinary humans occupy the high positions."

“That’s where we were supposed to be.”

Imagining a bright future, some people could no longer hold back and cheered for the girl who made this suggestion.

"Those ordinary humans... hmph, they're nothing but a bunch of insects. The future is about to undergo major changes. If we leave this country in their hands, won't it be doomed?"

Someone made up a "legitimate" reason for this action.

"I also think that Master Uesugi's suggestion is feasible—but the specific policy still needs to be discussed. We must act as quickly as possible, avoid civil unrest, and keep the situation under control..."

"We also need to inform the international community... As for the secretive party, let the head of the party contact us and explain the situation here."

The heads of the five outer families have different thoughts and ulterior motives.

But under the temptation of huge benefits, they united to support Uesugi Erie - and at the same time looked at the young student who had been sitting under the tablet of the god from the beginning, closing his eyes and speaking.

They seemed to be waiting for Yuan Zhisheng to make the final decision.

In fact, they were forcing the "head of the family" to agree to this proposal which "would be of great benefit to the Eight Families of Sheqi".

——And in this situation, what else can Yuan Zhisheng say?

"As long as you don't regret it."

He just glanced at Uesugi Eri, who was so excited and completely immersed in the fantasy of becoming the "first Ultraman" that she didn't care how difficult it was.

He had always longed for a nude beach, but he knew that the small puddle was what he really missed.

And what about Uesugi Eri?

She is now more like a little tortoise that has just crawled out of a puddle and is trying to get in touch with the outside world.

Yuan Zhisheng didn't know whether she would regret it or not.

He only knew that after she proposed "letting the mixed-bloods stand in the front," she, he, the Eight Snake Clan, and even the mixed-bloods of Japan... could no longer stop.

"Gentlemen."

“This is a war.”

"Please treat this operation as you would a real war."

Yuan Zhisheng stood up from his seat.

He held high the Spider-Slasher in his hand and, in the name of Amaterasu, launched this war of hybrids against the secular world.

——This was also the first time since the Abrahamic Bloodline Contract that a mixed-race person attempted to seize the supreme ruling power of a country.

But this is also a matter of course.

After all, the so-called "Abraham Bloodline Contract" only binds the Black King and other descendants of the Dragon King.

As for the mixed-race people in Japan... as descendants of the White King, they have their own "national conditions" and cannot be generalized.

"Well then, gentlemen."

"Let's take action!".

Chapter 267: Eri's Emergency Team

This is a "silent" change.

The vast majority of people living in this country cannot even notice the changes.

They had only learned from the news that the country's cabinet seemed to have undergone a temporary reshuffle. Some politicians whose names they had never heard of before, but after careful investigation, they found that these people were indeed politicians with "family backgrounds", had entered the political arena.

—Army, police, culture, taxation, supervision, agriculture, forestry, transportation…

A large amount of fresh blood poured into these key departments, causing the country to undergo earth-shaking changes in just one week.

In comparison, another small "change" may not seem so important.

【Emergency rescue force】.

This is a special force composed of a small number of mixed-race people and most ordinary people who know about the existence of mixed-race people. It is under the name of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and is directly under the jurisdiction of Uesugi Eri.

——It is worth mentioning that the “ordinary people” who can stay in this army are definitely not the so-called “ordinary people”.

The son of a chaebol, a genius scientist, an expert in wilderness survival, an elite who is proficient in more than ten languages... In addition to these individual characteristics, they also have one thing in common.

"rich."

This special force does not accept poor people.

Of course, this isn't Eri being discriminatory - she just thinks that if you don't have money, earning money to support your family is the top priority.

You know, the troops under her command have no "salary" and no "subsidy".

They rely entirely on their own interests and hobbies to provide timely help to those in need.

——That is what is called “generating electricity for love”.

At the very beginning, organizers including Eri had some hesitations about this organizational structure... They were not sure whether anyone would sign up for a position like this with no salary, no status, and no future.

But when faced with the suggestion of "investing some money", Uesugi Eriya still shook her head firmly, saying that she would "rather have nothing than have something of poor quality".

She actually understood this truth: there is no unbreakable alliance in this world, let alone an unswerving dream, and the price of betrayal depends only on whether the benefits given are sufficient.

But then again, if we can just solve the problem of "money", it will be enough to solve 99% of the "betrayal problems" in the world.

And if everyone is not short of money, naturally there will be no grudges over those trivial matters.

As for if someone could offer huge benefits that could not be bought with money to make those people betray... then Uesugi Eriya would reasonably suspect that the mastermind behind this must be her "brother", Minamoto no Chisei.

——In Japan, the only one who has the ability and the leisure to mess with her [Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto] is Minamoto no Chisei, who is [Amaterasu-no-Mikoto].

……

In short, after half a month of intense preparation, this makeshift team called the [Emergency Rescue Force] finally issued a notice to recruit people from all walks of life.

——The registration situation was completely beyond the expectations of Uesugi Erii and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"A lot...of money."
