This demon is highly suspicious.

By the time Gabriel realized what had happened, the dust had already settled.

"Oh, this? I was a little excited when they came to cause trouble for the first time, and I acted impulsively without realizing it."

Luo Xia, his eyes darting around nervously, said...

This is a lie.

In fact, Luo Xia was already very familiar with the kind of thing that involved people coming to his door to cause trouble.

It was done to make the start of the Ruri Shrine go more smoothly.

Rorschach visited a number of nearby shrines and found those that did indeed enshrine gods, or rather, monsters and spirits.

Those with a good attitude will stay, while those with a bad attitude will cause trouble.

Many shrines' offerings were carried away overnight and the shrines were fled.

"Ahem, may I ask what brings you two to the Nura Clan?"

The short Nurarihyon coughed twice, stepped forward, and looked at Rorschach and Gabriel, asking them a question.

Looking at the scene before him, Nurarihyon felt a mix of emotions.

How familiar this scene is.

Angels and demons came knocking, and the Nura Clan's group of powerful yokai stared at each other in disbelief.

I look much older than I did last time.

With his hands tucked into his sleeves, Nurarihyon felt a sense of approaching old age.

As a carefree and playful demon, Nurarihyon Nura had never really paid much attention to his rapid aging.

After all, it can recover to its peak form at any time if it wants to.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Nura Rikuo's little bit of rebellious mentality.

They let Nura Rikuo play by himself all the time.

It was too lazy to bother with the troublemaking monsters below.

As long as it lives, those guys can't cause any trouble.

As for the yokai princess who was born ten years ago, it didn't matter at all; Nurarihyon paid a little attention to her and then stopped caring.

After all, a group of monsters of unknown origin had chosen a monster princess who wanted to manage these powerful monsters who had lived for hundreds of years.

This is like a group of unknown small ninja villages who couldn't stand the five great ninja villages constantly attacking and waging war against each other, and always fighting on their territories, so they held a meeting and elected a so-called ninja management officer.

They said they were there to manage things like the war in the ninja village.

For the five great ninja villages, it's just a joke. If they're in a good mood, they'll give them face; if they're in a bad mood, they might just kill them.

The same applies to the relationship between the monster princess and the monster.

After all, those easy-going monsters are a minority; most monsters respect strength above all else.

If you have a position but no power, there aren't many monsters that want to kill you; you could say they're everywhere you look.

Knowing about Kotoko Iwanaga's situation, Nurarihyon, who doesn't usually get involved, continues to choose to ignore it.

Anyway, I'm just an old man who spends his days drinking tea and playing with his grandson.

These things don't matter.

But now Nurarihyon suddenly realizes that it seems they really can't continue to let things go like this.

"Ah, it's nothing serious."

The trident in his hand spun and was tossed up and down as Rorschach spoke in a very calm tone:

"It was those yokai under your Nura Clan who caused trouble for us three times, threatened my two friends, and tried to steal their things."

"He threatened to tell me he was a yokai from the Nura Clan and told me to think it over."

"And then they blew up our car while I was driving."

"Don't be nervous, this is easy to solve."

After hearing Luo Xia's words, all the monsters fell silent.

Will the Nura Clan become history today?

Suddenly I feel that this possibility is quite high.

Chapter 276 It's decided, you'll be the Commander-in-Chief.

Nurarihyon, who always had a detached and indifferent attitude, suddenly felt a surge of murderous intent.

It wasn't directed at Rorschach and Gabriel, but at the monsters below.

Although shamelessly freeloading is a basic skill for Nurarihyon, he still has a sense of reason.

Of course, this is based on the premise that both parties are of equal status or that the other party has sufficient strength.

Otherwise, Nurarihyon will show you what a great yokai is.

There has never been a great demon who was a truly good or kind person.

When faced with Rorschach and Gabriel, Nurarihyon decides to handle the matter peacefully.

After all, they really couldn't beat those two guys.

Although it was known as the Lord of Demons and Monsters hundreds of years ago, it enjoyed a high reputation in both the human and monster worlds.

But compared to these angels and demons who, shortly after birth, reach the end of the line for most monsters...

The so-called master of demons and monsters is nothing more than this.

It sounds pretty good, but in reality, it's just so-so.

Not only Nurarihyon understood, but the great yokai of the Nura Clan also understood.

In the realm of monsters, they can be considered local overlords.

But it means nothing to angels and demons.

Perhaps only the unpredictable abilities of a few monsters can cause these angels and demons some trouble.

"So, what kind of compensation are you both hoping to receive?"

"We will never refuse anything that the Nura Clan can do."

With his hands tucked into his sleeves, Nurarihyon spoke calmly.

His words showed no trace of the arrogant and domineering ruler he once was.

The carefree and unrestrained spirit of the past seems to have faded away along with the aging of the body.

It seems that Nurarihyon, the lord of demons and monsters, no longer exists; all that remains is the first-generation commander-in-chief of the Nura Clan.

Even if Nurarihyon could regain his youthful form, he probably wouldn't be able to reach his peak again.

"Well, let me think about it."

Stroking his chin, Rorschach said with some distress:

"We've wiped out all those troublesome little groups under your Nura Clan."

"At most, there will be one or two fish that slipped through the net outside."

"You guys can deal with those guys yourselves."

"As for compensation, it seems you don't have anything to offer in return."

At this point, Rorschach was also somewhat troubled.

After all, there really wasn't anything in the Nura Clan that he wanted.

If you really want something, you can just grab a handful from the forests of the Demon Realm or the Heavenly Realm; that would be more valuable than what these monsters collect.

The 'ingredients' that Rorschach and the others messed around with in the home economics class would be incredibly valuable treasures in the human world.

But Rorschach and Gabriel just stuffed all these things into the big pot and stewed them together.

"How about this."

At one point, a distressed Rorschach saw a brown head peeking out from behind the shattered door.

He slammed his hand down, as if he had thought of something interesting.

"Since those yokai are so unwilling to let Nura Rikuo take over."

"Then let him be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Nura Clan tonight."

"It's a good opportunity to drag out those unruly guys from your Nura Clan headquarters and make an example of them."

The reason those monsters caused trouble was simply because they felt that Rikuo Nura was unworthy of his position and did not deserve to be called the third shogun of the Nura Clan.

Looking at Nura Rikuo's lackluster performance, I suddenly felt that I might also have a chance.

I'm going to take a gamble and see if I can dethrone Nura Rikuo from the throne of the Third Hokage.

As for the Nurarihyon that stands in their way?

Since we've already come this far, we might as well take another gamble.

We've already gambled so much, what's a little more?

If we lose, we lose; if we win, we'll be rich!

It's like a monkey on the savanna trying to challenge a lion.

If you win, you become the Monkey King; if you lose, you perish.

Even though they knew that losing would mean losing everything and dying miserably, some dim-witted individuals still selectively ignored the risks due to the temptation of having the 'opportunity' to become the third leader of the Nura Clan.

The gambling culture prevalent in Japan, an island nation, may have influenced these monsters.

Humans and monsters alike, when they feel it's about time, they take a gamble.

Humans gamble on the fate of their nations; if they win, they become rich and powerful; if they lose, their entire family commits seppuku (ritual suicide).

The same applies to monsters.
