Seventy-Seventh Chapter: The Conference of Three Kings (Request for Subscription)
“The Holy Theocracy is called a country, but in reality, it only has one Holy Capital.”
The nature of this country is similar to the Vatican from Bai Luo’s previous life (hereafter referred to as the world before his reincarnation), symbolizing more than actual significance.
“Finally, there is the Lawless City.”
Gamma said, “We don’t plan to develop in that direction for now.”
“The Lawless City has no rules; whoever has the strongest fists gets heard.”
Logically speaking, such a place would be perfect for the development of the Golden Clan since they are genuinely strong.
With an average combat strength above B-level, pulling out just a few members could easily dominate the Lawless City.
However, after Alpha, Gamma, and Beta discussed, they all agreed that now isn’t the time to display their military power.
“In our plan, the Golden Garden will exist as a simple commercial entity, which can alleviate the hostility of many forces.”
Otherwise, if people were to find out about the immense military strength behind the guild, how could they trust the guild to grow roots on their territory?
On the Shadow World side, Bai Luo hopes to maintain surface stability.
Regarding psychological expectations,
As long as there isn’t a world war, Bai Luo can basically accept anything.
“All of the above is the preliminary plan we’ve decided upon after discussion.”
“What do you think?”
The three girls, unusually cute Pokémon girls, looked at Bai Luo, hoping for his evaluation.
“Hmm.”
Bai Luo: “Proceed according to your plans.”
“Every month from now on, Alpha, summarize the situation of the Golden Clan and report it to me.”
“For other matters, you may make judgments on your own.”
After finishing the conversation with Alpha and the others, the girls bid farewell and left.
With a clear course of action, the Golden Clan quickly got busy.
Thus, the pressure immediately fell on Coach Lambda.
Without sufficient manpower, no plan can be executed.
However, the newly joined demon-possessed individuals, who are members of the Golden Clan, still fall short of being able to handle things independently.
For this reason, Lambda had to increase the training volume to improve the overall quality of the girls as soon as possible.
The large-scale movement of many members of the Golden Clan soon caught Asato Seiri’s attention.
Realizing something was amiss, Asato Seiri hurriedly visited Bai Luo and learned from him about Alpha’s proposed Seven Pavilions of Gold plan.
This made Asato Seiri secretly admire Alpha’s ability to get things done while also realizing the remarkable talent of this young girl.
“Nin.”
Asato Seiri found Kurotsuchi Shinobu and said, “Please help invite Miss Xue Ji and Tzudoki. Tell them I have urgent matters to discuss.”
“Ara~~”
Kurotsuchi Shinobu smiled and said, “It seems something unpleasant has happened.”
“Tsk.”
Asato Seiri, with a headache, supported her forehead: “Still, I don’t have many capable hands under me.”
“That’s true. Neither Master Fujiki nor Zenichiro seem like they can help ease the burden.”
Kurotsuchi Shinobu: “You must be very hardworking, Lady Asato.”
“Can you stop making sarcastic remarks, Shinobu?”
Asato Seiri knew Kurotsuchi Shinobu didn’t mean harm; this was her personality, liking to joke around with her on trivial matters.
“Is it troublesome?”
Seeing this, Kurotsuchi Shinobu finally became serious.
“No.”
Asato Seiri shook her head: “Specifically, we need to consult with the other two kings.”
“Alright.”
Kurotsuchi Shinobu stopped asking further and directly went to deliver the message for Asato Seiri.
“Miss Seiri’s invitation code?”
Xue Ji: “I will be there on time.”
Similarly, Tzudoki happily accepted the invitation on the other side.
That day, Asato Seiri came to a Japanese-style izakaya street and waited here for Xue Ji and Tzudoki to arrive.
“Splash~~”
The door of the private room opened, and Xue Ji walked in with two兽耳娘s.
She let her followers, Chun and Qiu, wait outside temporarily before sitting across from Asato Seiri.
“How do you feel about the decoration here?”
The meeting place was chosen by Xue Ji.
According to the habits of the existing residents of the Ancient Capital, Bai Luo planned seven streets in the city.
Then, Bai Luo handed over four of them to Alpha, Xue Ji, Asato Seiri, and Tzudoki to design and develop on their own.
Among them, Xue Ji acted the fastest.
A quaint Japanese-style shopping street appeared amidst the dilapidated ruins of the ancient capital.
Of course, the Ancient Capital was just beginning construction, and there weren’t many places to choose from.
This izakaya was considered one of the best environments among them.
“Not bad.”
Asato Seiri, being an islander herself, was not unfamiliar with izakayas.
“It’s good enough if you’re satisfied.”
Saying that, Xue Ji changed to a more comfortable sitting position and sighed, “Alpha really is impressive, her efficiency is unmatched.”
“In just a short time, she’s pushed us to the brink of irrelevance.”
After all, the Gray Clan was personally designated by Bai Luo as his close guard.
Those maids and cooks, Xue Ji indicated that her adorable兽耳娘s could fully handle the tasks without any interference from the Golden Palace.
“And that Barrier thing, tsk tsk tsk.”
Xue Ji: “This is like offending everyone.”
“Click!”
The door opened, and catgirl Chun placed a glass of juice in front of Xue Ji, who thanked her with a smile and began sipping it slowly.
“Rustle rustle~”
Asato Seiri picked up a glass of whiskey, took a sip, and then looked at the juice in front of Xue Ji, slightly exasperated: “Now I want to know even more, why did you invite me to an izakaya when you can’t drink alcohol?”
“To top it off, you even asked me to bring my own alcohol, isn’t that a bit excessive?”
Indeed, the izakaya on the Japanese-style street of the Ancient Capital doesn’t sell alcohol.
There’s no way around it, the兽耳娘s are still too young.
Even Xue Ji is only thirteen or fourteen years old, far from the age where she can indulge in drinking freely.
“Oh well, don’t mind these details!”
Xue Ji opened her fan and covered her lips, saying: “Don’t you think this adds to the atmosphere?”
“Not at all!”
Asato Seiri forcefully put down her whiskey: “It’s clearly an izakaya, yet you make me drink such wine, isn’t that too contradictory?!”
“Uh…”
Xue Ji: “Then, how about a fresh orange juice?”
“If it’s juice, can I order watermelon juice? I like watermelons.”
Just then, the door was knocked on, and shortly afterward, Tzudoki entered.
“Please give me a glass of watermelon juice.”
The young girl clapped her hands and entrusted the real signboard girl of the izakaya, Yù, who followed her.
“Sure, Lady Tzudoki.”
Rabbit-ear girl Yù immediately brought the watermelon juice and considerately closed the door again.
“I heard Sister Seiri received a batch of watermelons, I’m so looking forward to it.”
Tzudoki knelt between Xue Ji and Asato Seiri, took a sip of the watermelon juice, and immediately a happy smile bloomed on her face.
“Delicious!”
“Feels so happy~~”
Tzudoki drank the watermelon juice little by little, completely disregarding the importance of this secret gathering.
“Hey, little Tzudoki.”
Asato Seiri: “Can you take this seriously for once?”
“Eh~~”
Tzudoki tilted her head slightly, appearing somewhat perplexed: “But I’m just here to make up the numbers, right?”
“…”
Asato Seiri and Xue Ji were momentarily silent.
Well, Tzudoki’s words weren’t wrong.
The Red Clan could be considered the most pitiful among the four major clans.
Not mentioning the Four Ghosts of Zhu Shi and Ming Nv confined in prison, every ghost princess, without exception, suffers from social anxiety.
After experiencing the tragedy of the demons, they have long lost their drive for worldly affairs.
Being able to eat human food again and having a place to settle down already satisfies them greatly.
Thus, unless Tzudoki continues to expand her clan and converts more demon races,
otherwise, she simply cannot provide the manpower to assist Xue Ji and Asato Seiri.
