Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　It's really just a choice between "accepting with dignity" and "being accepted with dignity"... It's a very frustrating situation.

　After all, the King of Fuuto and Takemikazuchi found Kiri and asked her to talk about this matter, which was already a very friendly attitude.

　To be honest, Qili's status within the association is now at its zenith. She enjoys high prestige among both leaders and lower-ranking members.

　After all, he has a close relationship with the Monster King.

　She and her apprentice had previously gone to Kyoto to accumulate merits, and after returning after some time, they should be promoted.

　However, this also drew some criticism.

　The general idea was something like, "Could Qili be a traitor?", but such speculation came and went quickly.

　In terms of the overall environment and public opinion, the prevailing sentiment is one of submission.

　While everyone was pondering whether to speak and how to speak, Qili's explanation continued...

　"I've tallied up the benefits promised by the Monster Kings and what we need to give up... First up is the King of Fuuto."

　"The King of Tokyo wants us to publicly acknowledge internationally that Japan has been 'ruled' by the Monster King. But beyond that, he won't have any influence or interference with our system... He needs a nominal occupation."

　Upon hearing this, everyone frowned... While it wasn't impossible, it would be extremely troublesome to implement.

　The cabinet ministers would find it difficult to agree to these things.

　International condemnation doesn't really matter anymore; after all, things are already like this. Too many lice don't itch, too much debt doesn't worry us.

　Mainly trouble.

　However, they quickly found solace in the beautiful additions.

　Qili began simply, stating the benefits briefly: "Therefore, the monster group belonging to the Monster Emperor will no longer be active in Japan... because it has been occupied, there is no need for them to continue to be active."

　What?!!!!

　Amidst the shock, a magical girl who had been listening in immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Is that even possible?!"

　"So, once it's occupied, there won't be any monster groups causing trouble anymore? We only have to deal with wild monsters?!"

　"Holy crap, it should have been taken long ago!"

　"..." Amidst the commotion, Kirei began to explain the benefits and needs that Takemikazuchi could offer—

　"What Takemikazuchi needs is a good meal that he can eat anytime, and a place to sleep that he can sleep in anytime."

　"Furthermore, it said it didn't want to manage affairs or work, not even the job of a king."

　Everyone was actually quite happy to hear Qili say this, because it was actually a good thing that the Monster King wasn't involved.

　And then comes the benefit...

　The last page of the PPT was a bunch of Kenmikazuchi's emojis, including one of him "kicking his chin with his hind leg to tickle it", one of him "sparkling starry eyes", and one of him "Kenmikazuchi's static electricity making his hair stand on end"... Hmm, pretty cute.

　"For this, it is willing to give us its emojis for free."

　"..." Who needs that?!

　Chapter 401 Changes in Predictions, The King of Beasts!

　"Hello--"

　Wearing a mask, Cong Yu said this, and with Takemikazuchi on her shoulder, she politely extended her hand to the head of the Magical Girl Association.

　The other person appeared to be the vice president of the association.

　After the General President moved the headquarters from Beidu to Central City after it was occupied, he went into seclusion and hasn't shown his face for a very long time.

　Therefore, the vice president is the highest-ranking official.

　"Hello, hello, it's truly... I've heard so much about you."

　The vice president, who was speaking in such a humble manner, had a shrewd look on his face and some of his own thoughts.

　Okay, now you're familiar with it.

　Cong Yu doesn't know why, but all the magical girls she's been exposed to lately have been cute and adorable.

　It's truly moving to finally encounter a magical girl who's a relatively normal "adult" level.

　"You flatter me. I'm probably not that famous yet."

　Cong Yu's response immediately brought a smile to the vice president's face: "That's how it appears to those who don't know the truth."

　"But within our association, your great achievements are widely known... Everyone knows and understands that you have done a lot for humanity, and everyone admires you very much."

　Cong Yu herself doesn't quite believe this.

　However, this did not stop Cong Yu from going along with the other party's words and showering each other with compliments: "Perhaps a little, but I still admire your association more."

　In comparison... I have immense respect for your contributions to humanity, your achievements, and your reputation.

　"Oh, not at all. I've only done my best. There's still a lot I need to learn and improve."

　"you are too humble."

　"No no no..."

　"No no no..."

　"..."

　"yawn--"

　Jian Yu Lei couldn't help but yawn, and whispered in Cong Yu's ear: "Cong Yu, how long are you going to talk here? Hurry up and take me to occupy the spiritual vein, then we'll beg for food together."

　You said "mooching food and drinks" sounds more elegant than "begging for food," don't make us sound like hobos and stray dogs, okay?

　Sigh, never mind, there really is no need for this level of small talk.

　With this thought in mind, Cong Yu looked at a magical girl in the welcoming party and nodded to her: "Lead the way... I'm entrusting the matter of unlocking the shackles of the spirit veins to you."

　Actually, it would be fine to let Kurenai unlock the door, but since the magical girl the group bribed is here today, there's no need for Kurenai to do it herself.

　"Yes, please come this way."

　With that, the magical girl nodded to everyone in the association behind her, and then immediately led the way.

　Although she was somewhat proactive, she didn't seem unusual because she was already part of the welcoming team.

　Well, that's what they say...

　However, for Cong Yu, whether the other party's identity is exposed or not is no longer a very important matter.

　The Magical Girl Association is now a friendly force.

　"..." Stepping into the association's underground area, passing through several locks, undergoing some verification, and navigating the intricate maze.

　The location of the spiritual vein nodules lies in a basement that no normal person can find and no instrument can detect.

　And without a doubt...

　This is their destination at this moment.

　"The group of weirdos operating in Central City has withdrawn. We haven't encountered any attacks by weirdos recently, and we're still getting used to it."

　Cong Yu smiled at the magical girl who was talking to her like this: "Wild monsters will eventually awaken."

　Moreover, if Miss Chi You's statement is correct, the awakened monsters will become stronger and stronger as Miss Chi You intercepts magic power.

　However, it's definitely better to have no monster groups causing trouble everywhere than to have wild monsters and monster groups sandwiched between two groups of monsters.

　"Well, the magical girl agency will probably be reshuffled after this, since there will be fewer commissioned jobs..."

　This magical girl seemed to be in charge of liaising with the agency. So she looked a bit troubled: "With less revenue being drawn, it's also more difficult for our association to handle this internally... The withdrawal of the monster group isn't all a good thing."

　She said that first, then the magical girl smiled at Cong Yu: "However, as a Central City resident, not a magical girl... I love peace, long live peace!"

　"..." Amidst this loud conversation, the magical girl responsible for unlocking the "lock" of the spiritual vein also finished her work.

　Looking at them, he gestured for Cong Yu and Jian Yu Lei to go up.

　"Yawn... Great! From now on, I'm the King of Central City!"

　After saying that, Takemikazuchi thought for a moment and realized it sounded awful: "No, forget it, I'll just call myself Takemikazuchi."

　As Jian Yu Lei spoke, it peered towards the spiritual veins of the central city.

　What was reflected before him was the breath of "spiritual veins" like a river... no, like a pulse.

　Moving from one direction to another.

　I don't know whether to describe it as "flowing" or "drifting," it's something like ethereal white smoke and silk.

　It is the primordial magic.

　Its form shifts, a breath and a river somewhere between "mist" and "silk," meandering and twisting from time to time.

　This is why spiritual veins can have multiple names such as "Dragon Vein" and "Demon Spring".

　Just looking at it, you can almost feel its grandeur.

　And without a doubt, the person who holds the spiritual vein of the capital is the one who deserves to be called "King".

　The reason why a king is a king is that he holds such an unquestionable greatness and sublimity, and is the master of a spiritual vein.

　Under everyone's watchful eyes, Takemikazuchi used his blue-purple magic to gradually cover the knots on the ground.

　The blue and purple magic began to slowly spread across the original colorless yet colored white... transforming the white silk into the color belonging to Takemikazuchi.

　In short—the white silk was dyed.

　The scene at this moment, combined with the beautiful magical light shooting into the sky, creates a sense of grandeur and epic scale.

　If this moment were painted in oil, it might become a famous scene that will be passed down through the ages...

　At this moment, Takemikazuchi also completed a crucial step required of a king—becoming king.

　Without a doubt, Takemikazuchi became king.

　A fallen leaf carried a message: beyond the mist, in the neon-lit Central City, Takemikazuchi had become the King of Central City, and the new king spoke thus—

　When are we eating?

　-

　[Event: A beast that shouldn't be king has become king]

　The odds of fate have changed—

　(66.163%) → (64.825%)

　Chapter 402 Fate Game Mission System

　The odds of success have dropped, and by a full percentage point... almost two percentage points.

　what happened? !

　"A beast that shouldn't be king has become king...?"

　After pondering for a moment, Miss Lin suddenly made a judgment: "Could it be that there has been some major change in the magical beasts of Mongolia?"

　When it comes to beasts, the only ones she can think of are the magical beasts of Mongolia.

　The change in the odds of fate is clearly not good news for Ms. Lin... which proves that she is one step further away from a smooth retirement.

　But that's it.

　It doesn't really matter if they go down, because the organizational benefits for Miss Lin and other Moirai believers are distributed according to their efforts to "go up".

　For every 1 percentage point increase in the probability of their fate, they are permitted to do something that would reduce the probability of their fate by 0.1 percentage points.

　Although it's a small amount, it's still an extra benefit, calculated separately from the regular 13th-month salary and the quarterly gifts of laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc.

　Moreover, it is extremely versatile; believers can use this "permission" for their own benefit, for example, to...

　Buy lottery tickets.

　Or it could be saving a friend who is about to die, or restoring seriously ill parents to health—things that defy one's original fate.

　So if they drop in rank, they can start farming again, which won't affect the believers getting rewards... The rewards aren't one-time rewards.

　That's incredibly generous, like playing a game.

　However, according to the instructions of the gods...

　If the accuracy rate drops to 50% or below, something terrible and catastrophic will happen. Although Ms. Lin doesn't know the specifics, it's best not to ignore changes in the accuracy rate.

　Ms. Lin sighed; she really wanted to take a vacation.
