Chapter 66: The Candidate
(Thanks to the 10-year-old bookworm for their tips and support)
"Candidates, candidates?!" The mayor of Sakura-jin Town, Spear Sakurahime, widened his eyes when he heard this.
"It's a candidate, that's a thousand years later, and I haven't finished enjoying my life surrounded by maids~" Lyle deliberately paused for a long time and said with a subtle expression, "...... Besides, you can only say that you don't need to worry about the physical lifespan, there is no need to think too far ahead, and it is too late to think about whether to participate in the competition after living to be 950 years old. ”
As the daughter of a high-level youkai, Spear Sakura Ji has a strong physical ability to fan bullets with her bare hands, but after all, she is too young and lacks combat training, so she has not been able to learn a powerful technique, let alone expand the field, and she only has S-level strength when she takes the ancestral artifact, and she is not a strong person in the new era.
If it weren't for the fact that the youkai were not the number one enemy of humans and curses, no one would be idle and run over to attack Sakurajin Town, and the new general of the Tokyo Youkai - Nura Rikusheng was not ambitious, and the Nura Group had no possibility of expanding its power territory, and Lyle didn't bother to see her as one of the candidates, and the guy who didn't live a thousand years from now would have no meaning in having a suitable temperament.
Spear Sakurahime is not a person who lacks self-knowledge, and accepted Lyle's implicit evaluation, but asked, "That, Your Excellency the Elven King, I am extremely honored to be here, but...... Why me? ”
"In line with my values, that's all." Lyle laughed.
"Hey~~!" Sakurahime clasped her hands to her chest and took two steps back, reminiscent of someone's comments on the issue of men and women.
"Please rest assured, you don't even have the slightest taste of a maid on you, and your face is only at the upper middle level, which is not within my preference at all." Lyle raised his palm and comforted indifferently, "And what I just said was 'values', not 'aesthetics', the focus is on temperament. ”
"Lost, rude!" The embarrassed Sakurahime immediately bowed and apologized.
After the other party regained his composure, Lyle explained: "In fact, whether or not you can inherit my eyes depends on the meaning of the will of the earth, and I am only responsible for the preliminary screening, that is, to provide an opportunity to communicate with the will of the earth...... Naturally, I choose whoever pleases my eye. ”
[The will of the earth is not satisfied with the people chosen by Lyle, leaving the eye of the world to the next newborn elven king] - this is possible.
Lyle raised three fingers and said seriously: "And my preferences sound very simple, but it is difficult to do, I have my own ideals, the ideal content cannot be too vulgar and crazy, and I have the unyielding will to implement the ideal." ”
"Uh...... Sound like it's not hard to do? "Gun Sakurahime still doesn't know why she was picked out.
Lyle replied with a question: "Really? Miss Macho Mayor, how many people do you think will be able to maintain their current temperament after receiving my power, and not go crazy in pursuit of money, beauty, status, power, and fame? ”
"This ......" Spear Sakura Ji shrunk her neck, and the changes in people in the past four years of aura revival were there, and no one could ignore them.
Lyle asked again, "You should have a good impression of your companion 'Hiizumi Akina', right?" How much do you think his cowardly nature can make cruel decisions? ”
"Akina's talent is not cowardly!" Spear Sakurahime glared, and for a moment she forgot Lyle's identity.
Lyle stretched out his hand to the side and shook his finger, signaling that Angela, who was eager to protect the Lord, not to come over, and asked, "Do you think he can make a decision like [sacrificing Zhenxinzhen to protect Country R] or [sacrificing Country R to protect the world]?" ”
“!?” Gun Sakurahime was speechless.
The boy she loves is a gentle guy, not to mention sacrificing Shinshin Town or Country R, and he can't even do anything to his friends who have been possessed by evil spirits and committed countless evil deeds, causing a lot of trouble for the law enforcement team, including her.
"You can do it, your hanging horn eyes tell me that you are the one who can be ruthless at a critical moment." Before coming to Sakurajin Town, he sent a maid to investigate, but it was mainly confirmed by soul perception, which is also known as 'seeing whether it is pleasing to the eye'.
"............" was praised by Spear Sakurahime, but she couldn't express her joy, on the one hand, Lyle cited a negative teaching material that she didn't like, and on the other hand, she realized how heavy the position of the Elven King was.
"When there is no such thing, it is okay to give up the candidacy~" Lyle raised his finger and rested it on his lips, if it wasn't for the blindfold, it was estimated that he would have raised his eyes to make a naughty expression, "Anyway, your current ranking is behind, and it is difficult to surpass Xia Youjie in first place and Gojo Satoru in second place." ”
"Xia Youjie!? Satoru Gojo!? Spear Sakurahime's eyes were sharp in an instant.
I haven't seen the former, but everyone knows that he is a great sinner with the record of slaughtering ordinary people; The latter had met in the meeting before the establishment of Sakura Town, and his reckless personality was unreliable at first glance.
In order to prevent the world from falling into the hands of these two scumbags in the future, you must work hard to play the role of mayor!
》》》》》》》
"You just do your own thing, we are just a group of tourists, ordinary tourists who will give money normally when buying things, and do not need the protection of bodyguards." In order to confirm the quality of the young people in Sakura Town, after walking with the greeting team for a long time, Lyle finally asked to act independently.
It's a good thing for everyone, the yokai are not suitable for the work of hosting the big shots, and the maids are not satisfied with the tense schedule.
"All free activities, remember to gather at the hotel on time at night, and you can't forget my share of the letter~"
"Yes~"
After seeing her colleagues who had long been accustomed to traveling at public expense scatter away, Evangeline clasped her hands on her chest and squinted her eyes and asked, "After chatting for so long, do you think she is qualified?" ”
"Well, although I personally prefer a mental-type successor similar to Xia You, the more I think about it, the easier it is to go crazy, and stupid and cute type candidates also need to be prepared." Lyle tilted his head and chuckled dryly, "...... It is possible to prepare too early. ”
Of course, other things being equal, compared to candidates who are less than 100 years old, Lyle will definitely choose candidates who have not changed their original intentions for a thousand years. It's not a question of seniority, it's a matter of practice.
“…… So, do you really plan to abandon Xiao Ling and Ru Ang and pursue an ethereal new world? Evangeline said as indifferently as she could.
In fact, she had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she didn't know how to open it with a shelf.
"If you add yourself to this sentence, I will be very happy~" Lyle has not yet decided whether to give Angela and other human maids immortal bodies, and is sure that there are only four maids (including Chachamaru) who can follow him to the end of his life, "It's just that I don't plan to abandon you." ”
"Huh?"
"My own experience, the effect of my perpetual realm, is enough to prove the existence of the multiverse." Lyle patted his chest and gave a thumbs up, "Since souls can move across the multiverse, one day, I will learn the interdimensional summoning technique, and then I will take you to another world for a trip~"
"You-"
"-Master! Ruang believes that you will be able to do it! With a slap on the face, Evangerine was pushed to the ground and brought in front of Lyle.
"Oh...... Oh! Lyle thought about it seriously, this answer had already been mentioned to Ru Ang and Xiao Lu, why was he still so excited.
"Master, there seems to be an interesting little shop over there! Let's go check it out! Ru Ang pulled Lyle with one hand and Xiao Lu with the other hand, and ran away in a few clicks.
"Ruang...... You ......! After getting up from the ground, Evan Jielin, who was so angry that she changed from Lori to a royal sister, waved her hand, "Chachamaru, battle mode, find the opportunity to shoot a laser at that stinky woman's face!" ”
