The gentlemen below were in an uproar. Normally, a knight should kneel in respect, but Mahiro only bowed slightly.
This is disrespectful to the Holy Emperor!
That's incredibly arrogant!
Such thoughts emerged from these people.
But the Holy Emperor paid no attention, gracefully stepped forward, raised his hands, and solemnly declared.
"Did you all hear that? The heroes standing here will fight for the Tokyo area from now on."
—Defeat Zodiac 'Scorpio Palace', defeat Hiruko Kagetane and Hiruko Kohina (originally ranked 134th by IP), and kill three cyborg soldiers from the Five Flying Association. Based on the above, I and IISO have agreed to classify this achievement as a 'Special First-Class Merit' and have decided to raise Police Officer Yotsuba Mahiro's IP ranking to 134th.
Although the audience wasn't particularly happy, they still applauded enthusiastically.
The Holy Emperor turned his gaze to Makoto and smiled.
"Mr. Mahiro, do you accept this decision?"
"It's my pleasure."
The Holy Emperor chuckled mischievously and continued in a low voice, "To be able to rise from 970 to 134th place, such a speed of improvement is probably unprecedented in history, right? It might even be recorded in the Guinness World Records."
"I'm sorry, but I haven't publicized your miracle; I've kept the information under wraps. Mr. Mahiro, you won't blame me, will you?"
Chapter 78 Life is short, why take shortcuts?
“A very wise choice, Your Majesty.” Makoto smiled slightly.
He didn't actually care about the police officer rankings; he already knew what he needed to know a long time ago.
Even confidential documents were easily accessed by him long ago.
He didn't care much about empty fame.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that by doing this, the Holy Emperor could save him a lot of unnecessary contact.
"That's good. But Mr. Shinjiro, please don't leave the Holy Residence after the banquet. I have something I want to say to you."
Upon hearing the Holy Emperor's soft words, Makoto glanced at her with slight surprise.
At the same time, the Holy Emperor gracefully stepped forward and announced the start of the victory celebration banquet in the Tokyo area.
After the awards and recognition for his merits were given, he was considered to be completely finished.
So they went downstairs and started eating and drinking.
Originally, he shouldn't have been the only one attending this banquet; Rentaro, who was also an employee of the agency, was also eligible to attend, but unfortunately, he was still lying in the hospital.
He probably won't be able to leave the hospital for at least a month.
As for Senju Natsuyo, one of the participants, besides disliking this kind of place, he also couldn't get away from the many things piled up by his hands-off manager.
That's right, Natsuyo Senju has officially joined Arcadia, along with the children who were resurrected during the great war.
After all, for him it was just a matter of tracing the intelligence network and enduring their painful lives.
He was still very enthusiastic about saving these cursed children.
Of course, this doesn't include the kid codenamed Hummingbird, who wasn't so kind as to save even the enemy.
Furthermore, joining Arcadia was entirely voluntary, and no one refused.
After all, as children of the curse, they had heard many things about this utopia.
As for the last person in the agency, President Tendo Kisara, he was currently eating voraciously with an elegant demeanor, as if he hadn't eaten for days...
"President Kisara, you said before that this kind of ceremony was held by cutting into His Majesty the Holy Emperor's precious time for official business, so you told me to talk less and finish it as soon as possible... Now it seems that's not the case, is it?"
"You just want something to eat, right?"
He's already so rich, so why is he still like this? Is this Tendo Kisara's true nature?
"How can it be?!"
Upon hearing his words, Mu Geng abruptly raised his head and hurriedly explained, "I was thinking of His Majesty the Holy Emperor!"
"Yes, yes, but could you please swallow what's in your mouth before you speak? And look at you, you've got food all over your face."
Mahiro was a little amused and exasperated. He reached out and wiped the cream off Kisaragi's lips, then stuffed it directly into his own mouth.
And Kisara witnessed this scene... Boom...
It was as if hot air was blowing from her head, and her face immediately turned red.
"I'm truly, truly, truly searching for you... you you you you... I I I I..."
They've become unable to speak.
If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, she probably would have frantically waved her hands.
"What's wrong with me?" Mahiro asked, puzzled. "You can't expect me to just leave the cream out to dry, or wipe it on my clothes? Or on the dining table?"
"But you can't put it in your mouth! I just ate that..."
Kisara blushed, wanting to say that, but the next second her face returned to its fair state, her expression turned serious, and she looked intently behind him.
Turning his head, he saw that not far away, beside the Holy Emperor who was surrounded by a group of guests, Tendo Kikunojo was standing there.
A burning hatred had already risen in Mugen's eyes, and even the fork in his hand was unconsciously bent.
That's terrifying grip strength.
"I say, do you really need to be so angry right now? Didn't you manage to make that old guy suffer a big loss this time?"
Mahiro patted her on the shoulder, instantly bringing Kisara back to her senses from her reverie, which was consumed by hatred.
She gazed at Makoto with a complicated expression, then gently closed her eyes and shook her head.
"No, the ministers who were pushed out this time, as well as those on the petition, are just scapegoats. Besides, this kind of childish squabbling can't seriously damage the Tendo family."
Kikunojo Tendo had his subordinates retrieve the "Seven Stars' Legacy" from an area he had never explored, and even entrusted Hiruko Kagetane to tacitly allow the summoning of the Zodiac in Stage Five. His purpose was to remind people of the horrors of Gastrea and to push for the "Category Deprivation Law" to stifle the "Gastrea New Law" proposed by the Holy Emperor.
Although it may seem abstract, it could lead to a mass extinction in the Tokyo area, but that is the reality.
That old man, like Tendo Kisara, was also a vengeful spirit, only his targets were different.
Even though many unexpected events occurred during this revenge process, and it almost led to the true destruction of the Tokyo area.
After the matter was exposed, Kikunojo Tendo took an even more decisive approach, directly pushing out the scapegoats he had prepared in advance and severing all ties cleanly.
Moreover, almost all of these people committed suicide on the day they were arrested.
"Therefore, I need more concrete evidence to completely overturn the Tendo family's weapons."
“Is that so? If that’s the case, I have a suggestion: why don’t you start from the direction of the megalith?”
"What do you mean?" Kisara looked at him, puzzled.
"Didn't you notice? This whole thing is full of anomalies. Stage 1 Gastrea suddenly appeared and attacked the convoy escorting the heritage, and swallowed the boxes. Under Hiruko Kagetane's pursuit, the Stage 1 Gastrea escaped into the Tokyo area."
Normally, the magnetic field emitted by superholomium alloys is lethal to gastrulation animals, so how could a mere Stage 1 member possibly get in? Don't you think something's a bit suspicious?"
Hear him say that.
Kisara gradually went from silence to surprise, his eyes widening as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying.
"Shinhime-kun, you mean...?"
"It's best to know for yourself; I'm just guessing."
After saying that, Makoto continued eating and drinking at the banquet.
Kisara is very intelligent; he can spot blind spots with just a little guidance, and he is also very proactive, as can be seen from the Scorpio incident.
They were able to gather so much intelligence in such a short time.
Although there may be someone helping her behind the scenes.
But it doesn't matter, isn't it interesting to watch the vengeful ghost put on a revenge show?
-------------------------------------
By the time the banquet ended, the sun had already set.
Upon his notification, Kisara had returned to the office, leaving him alone in the sanctuary. He was then led by a servant to the Holy Emperor's bedroom.
It was like some kind of inviolable sanctuary; apart from the maids who took care of her, there wasn't even a single guard outside the door.
"Long time no see, Mr. Masahiro. You're very punctual."
Inside the room, the Holy Emperor, sitting on the edge of the bed, straightened his posture, placed his hands elegantly in front of his robe, and smiled gently.
Makoto casually pulled up a chair, sat down opposite the Holy Emperor, and looked at her with a strange expression.
"Long time no see? Just ten minutes ago, we were saying goodbye at the banquet."
"No. I mean, we'll meet here."
"If that's the case, then that's certainly true."
Apart from the first commission, the rest of the commissions were basically made in the Holy Emperor's bedroom. Kisara knew about this from the beginning, which is why he did not choose to stay at the Holy Residence.
His close relationship with the Holy Emperor was precisely due to events that had occurred in the past year.
At that time, the Holy Emperor had just been on the throne for a year. Because of his rising prowess, he suffered many assassination attempts, but he protected him each time.
That's why his ranking rose so quickly.
As a result, the Holy Emperor gained a foothold among various forces.
"Alright, instead of this pointless small talk, let's talk about why you want to keep me here. It's getting late, and I'm getting a bit hungry... Could it be that His Majesty the Holy Emperor intends for me to serve him in bed?"
"Mr. Mahiro is as fond of joking as ever, even though he ate quite a lot at the banquet just now."
Despite being teased in a flippant manner, the Holy Emperor showed no shame or anger. Instead, he covered his mouth with his hand, which was covered by a white silk glove, and laughed.
"You don't deny the possibility of him serving you in bed? Well, I understand. The Holy Emperor is already 16 years old, so I can understand his needs. But! My price is very high."
"Mr. Mahiro, what are you saying?"
The Holy Emperor smiled slightly, revealing a captivatingly beautiful smile, and brushed aside his teasing words.
Although many people regard her as a 16-year-old puppet, there is no doubt that this puppet has something to offer.
"...Okay, enough joking around."
Mahiro stopped smiling and said directly, "It is indeed getting late. Let's talk about what's going on. Judging from your expression, it must be another request."
"Yes."
The Holy Emperor stopped joking and nodded seriously, saying, "Mr. Shinjiro, President Qi Wu, the representative of the Osaka region, will make an informal visit to the Tokyo region the day after tomorrow."
"and then?"
"Tonight, Lord Kikunojo will be traveling by plane to visit another region, and will not be in the Tokyo area for some time."
"So? Are you planning to have me kill that old bastard Kikunojo Tendo and help you completely control the Tokyo area, or are you planning to have me help you kill that Qi Wu Xuanzong? If it's that kind of request, then I'll accept it."
Of course, the price is also very high, ten million yen per person.
Mahiro said without any hesitation.
He would say this not only because he genuinely wanted to take on such a request, but also mainly because of the environment inside the dormitory.
Besides being entirely white like the Holy Emperor's room, the main reason for its size is that such a large room uses a three-pronged candlestick as its light source.
In this dim environment, aside from secret rendezvous between men and women, the only thing he could think of was assassination.
"Please don't make such a terrible joke."
The Holy Emperor frowned slightly; clearly, this was even harder for her to accept than the joke about serving him in bed.
“I understand that there is an irreconcilable hatred between Kikunojo and President Kisara, and some of the things he did behind my back were indeed outrageous, but he was also doing it for the sake of the Tokyo area.”
Furthermore, if President Qi Wu dies in the Tokyo area, the next president, who will be the vice president of the Osaka area, will certainly become president and will regard the Tokyo area as an enemy; it's even possible that war will break out directly.
So, your answer is no?
"There is no doubt about it."
"Ok."
Seeing the Holy Emperor's unusually serious attitude, Zhenxun shrugged and said, "If you refuse, then refuse."
"Please don't make jokes like that again. It's really too nasty, and it makes me angry too."
