"It’s nothing, Rosie. We are best friends, aren’t we? I wouldn’t harm you. Besides, it’s all for the kids. I just hope you can introduce to those two sisters you ntioned later. They’re stars, the Enchanting Dancer and the Ninetailed Diva, right? I’m a big fan and would love to get their autographs."
Yae Miko’s fox-like eyes were full of sincerity.
This made Noelle Rose very suspicious. She thought to herself that it was best not to believe a word this ghostly woman said, although this condition wasn’t too demanding.
Besides, playing mind gas wasn’t sothing this hobody witch was good at, but her two sisters were experts in this field. When they et Yae, the three together probably have eighty thousand tricks up their sleeves.
Thinking of that scene, the Spider Witch shivered. Even as a Demon Witch herself, she really couldn’t stand these scheming types.
Oh well, considering Yae wouldn’t harm Dorothy anyway, and she probably wouldn’t outsmart her own Succubus Sister and smart Fox Sister.
"Alright, I’ll bring you along when I go to et my sisters, but let’s be clear—I only introduce you, anything else is not my responsibility."
Noelle Rose emphasized this.
"Mm-hmm, that’s good enough, my dear sister."
Yae Miko nodded and then put away the folding fan holding the dark history of her best friend.
Though the Best Friend Witch’s eyes still looked very skeptical, the Blond Witch couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Oh, Rosie, you’ve got to understand . It’s tough being the God King’s spy. I’ve got this mission to keep an eye on your Devil King ancestor, and I’m kinda helpless, okay?
The Crafty Abnormality Grand Inquisitor of the God King Faction felt exhausted.
....
anwhile, Dorothy was unaware of the filthy deal between her teacher and aunt. She was proudly showcasing the gift she had just made—the Nine Dragons Cauldron, her life’s most perfect creation to date.
"Everyone, though we’ve defeated the Chinese Clan forces and worked hard to bring Japan into a new era of equality, now is not the ti to let our guard down."
"This is only the beginning. The revolution is not yet complete; comrades must continue their efforts."
"Wherever there are people, there will be classes, and once classes exist, oppression is bound to return. Life goes on, and so must the revolution."
"All present are now the managers of Japan. Sitting in that position, I’m sure you understand the rights and temptations entailed."
"You’ve all likely heard enough stories of Dragon Slayers becoming new Evil Dragons, so I won’t elaborate further. The Nine Dragons Cauldron is a self-examination system..."
She didn’t care about face or about how because they were comrades, so words might be awkward to say. She laid the issues directly on the table.
The risk is that if New Japan continues like this, it may eventually transform into the New Chinese Clan.
She naturally trusted everyone present, just as Miss Amaterasu trusted the original Chinese Clan. However, she wasn’t too sure if the descendants, who hadn’t experienced the ordeal of their predecessors but only enjoyed their glory, could maintain their faith.
Therefore, it’s necessary to establish things right from the start. Without rules, there’s chaos. Better to address these issues now than wait until they beco too big to ignore.
She candidly stated that the Nine Dragons Cauldron suppresses the Dragon Vein Qi of Japan, monitors the virtues of Japan’s leaders, and has the purifying function to overthrow old regis and select new leaders when necessary.
Lastly, she gave the choice back to the people.
"Well, this is my gift. It may not exactly fit your wishes, so you can decide whether to accept it."
Dorothy said this.
She didn’t force anyone to accept the gift. After all, nobody likes the feeling of having a Damocles Sword hanging overhead.
But this Damocles Sword represents the law and order, and it’s the key to long-lasting results of this revolution.
Such ideological struggle can’t be enforced. Recognition ans genuine fellowship, and lack of it makes any persuasion futile, better to part on good terms.
Luckily, to her relief, as she finished asking, several people in the audience imdiately nodded.
Butterfly Zhen looked at the Nine Dragons Cauldron with joy in her eyes. As the main initiator of this revolution, no one understood the hardships and challenges of preserving its achievents better than she did.
Her sister, Butterfly Ying, though not understanding those profound reasons, knew the little witch’s simple values and recognized that this was a good treasure capable of punishing wrongdoers, so she naturally wanted to accept it.
Yagyu Jubei and Battosai Kenshin, the two swordsn uninterested in worldly power, observed clearly as outsiders and understood the importance of the Nine Dragons Cauldron to defending New Japan’s order.
It’s a good thing; just like a sword’s importance to a swordsman, it’s essential.
On the other side, the Yin Yang Bureau, Guard Bureau, and Heavenly Magistrate Office, these three "Chinese Clan Elders," reacted differently.
"Thank you, my lord. This gift is truly wonderful."
Konoe Maki and Yuan Boya thanked without hesitation.
Even though they were forr top-tier Chinese Clan, it was precisely because of this that nobody understood the corruption of power better than them. The reason the old Chinese Clan fell so quickly was because they lacked such a self-lashing tool.
Abe Seii hesitated for a mont, then nodded.
As an Onmyoji, she was focused on cultivation, indifferent to power. Previously, Onmyoji had the duty to exorcise demons, but now without demon threats, she longed for seclusion and cultivation.
She hesitated only because she wondered if the Great Cauldron was truly as magical as claid. But recalling the Ghost King’s skillful manipulation of Japan’s Feng Shui layout, she stopped second-guessing.
If she could understand even a bit from the Nine Dragons Cauldron’s crafting thod, it could possibly supplent the missing part in Yin Yang Technique.
This cauldron must be accepted.
However, Chiyoda Kujo’s eyes seed a bit confused.
Miss Tengu was a pure military officer. She had no concept of rights or wrongs in grand sches; she only knew to obey commands and follow orders. So being suddenly asked to make her own choice left her baffled.
Luckily, she wasn’t alone; her cousin subtly tugged at her sleeve.
"Cousin, don’t think too much. Just nod. We, the Kujo Family, are part of the Hyakki lineage, and naturally we follow the Ghost King. Whatever she asks you to do, just do it."
Wenwen knew her cousin’s temperant well, so she quickly reminded her.
Honestly, even the Black Wing Witch was quite confused herself, because when the young lady crafted the cauldron, one of the Kujo Purple Snakes had been pulled from above her head.
As a witch who grew up outside, she naturally didn’t understand concepts like Dragon Vein in Immortal Technique. However, she felt she might have gotten herself into sothing, inadvertently boarding the young lady’s pirate ship.
But having boarded, the young lady’s ship might not be proper, yet it’s genuinely large and very stable, with imasurable future prospects.
Hearing her cousin’s words, Chiyoda Kujo also nodded.
Indeed, why think so much? Kujo Family as Crow Divine Dog lineage should just loyally follow the Mountain Ghost King of Monsters.
The military officer rediscovered the sense of obeying orders and following commands, and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease.
Onstage, the Hobody Witch saw everyone’s reaction and smiled, raising her wine glass high and said.
"So, comrades, to the future."
Having understood, everyone followed suit and raised their glasses.
"To the future."
.....Japan’s curtain falls.....
