Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

but--

Is the city itself necessarily synonymous with Kurokawa and Mika?

With the development of cities and the increase in population.

The number of city administrators will definitely increase, and a system of rights for cities will definitely be established.

Could it be that the management is spying on the city itself? Could it be that no one wants to oust Kurokawa Kazuya as the leader?

As cities grow larger and the number of city managers increases, what if some of the internal staff cause trouble and sideline Kurokawa and Miyako?

If this group, after occupying the city, then uses its dominant position in the city to trade with Kurokawa and Mi, they could once again provide unlimited faith for the city's magical artifacts.

At this point, did Kurokawa Kazuya confront the other person out of emotion, or did he rationally agree to their request?

In the modern world, it is not uncommon for company founders to be ousted by later shareholders.

Of course, the above is only the worst-case scenario.

With all his modern experience as a foundation, it's highly unlikely that he would encounter such a situation.

Under normal circumstances, Kurokawa and Miyako would then spend a considerable amount of time on city management.

Furthermore, as the city expands, the time required for this task will only increase.

After all, power isn't something you can necessarily obtain just because you make a contribution; it requires management, control, and checks and balances.

However, things are different now—

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I'm starting to understand the allure of the extraordinary world; great power originates from within oneself~"

He spoke to Yuyuko beside him as if expressing his feelings.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "According to the information they provided, the Hakurei Shrine Maiden's legacy allows me to access any power that others gain through the city I construct. Now, virtually all magical artifacts can become part of my power."

The "technology city" that developed from scratch has a small population and few superhumans.

Kurokawa and Miko had no intention of becoming beings like the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, devoid of emotions and desires.

With this legacy, he wants to be the eternal controller of the city itself.

He could command all the power of the city's administrators and their magical artifacts, so there was naturally no possibility of betrayal.

This is also why Kurokawa Kazuya said that the legacy of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden was the last piece of his puzzle.

The great power returns to itself, making the city an integral part of itself.

Because the power belongs entirely to oneself, there is no need to worry about betrayal.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Won't anyone refuse to settle and train in our city?"

At this point, the young lady raised her doubts.

To Yuyuko, Kurokawa Kazuya's behavior sounded somewhat like that of a tyrant.

Would anyone really want to settle down and practice spiritual cultivation in such a city?

From what Yuyuko herself knows, anyone in Heian-kyo who has achieved a certain level of success in their training will try to avoid using local resources in Heian-kyo to prevent their training power from being arbitrarily drawn upon by the Hakurei Shrine Maiden.

If the emotionless Hakurei Shrine Maiden is like this, then what about Kurokawa Kazuya now?

Kazuya Kurokawa: "The reason for the refusal is simply that we don't have enough bargaining chips, and we don't necessarily need cultivators who have already achieved great success."

He said this with a somewhat pleasant smile:

"There are plenty of people at the bottom who have no resources and have to start from scratch. Anyway, I will definitely lack a lot of managers in the future, but I don't lack resources in terms of faith. It just depends on who can outdo whom."

Faith is like the extraordinary hard currency of this world.

Kurokawa Kazuya wouldn't dare boast about his strength, but he certainly has plenty of money.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Power is fundamental, and no one wants to be controlled. That Hakurei Shrine Maiden may seem to be able to mobilize everyone's power, but in reality, she is also suppressed by countless rules."

The eldest daughter of the Saigyouji family shook her head.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Of course I know that, so I don't intend to tie the power of everyone who enters the city to myself. But if someone wants to become the city's manager, then they must tie their power to me. They can choose to leave later, but it's only natural that they hand over their power after leaving."

This is what Kurokawa Kazuya said—his bottom line.

To avoid all sorts of messy and chaotic things in the future, he absolutely had to keep a firm grip on the city's management and the control over the magical artifacts within the city.

As for whether they will be unable to recruit anyone in the end under these circumstances?

How many cultivators in the extraordinary world truly cultivate in pursuit of the pinnacle?

This answer doesn't need to be given by anyone else.

Kurokawa Kazuya had already seen through the true nature of the other people in this world when he used to recruit illusionists and sell illusions.

The world is always made up of ordinary people.

Cultivation is for the purpose of enabling oneself to live a better life.

Cultivation is for the purpose of becoming a superior person.

If cultivation only makes one suffer more, then the so-called cultivation will be meaningless.

Kurokawa and Mikoto found a far more pleasant and safer life in their own city than in other cities.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I will give them the rights and treatment they deserve. Under control, I will naturally be able to delegate more authority, and their lives will definitely be much better than those of their peers outside the region."

"As for the issue of social atmosphere, it can be gradually reversed through cultural propaganda. If one side is feasting on meat and fish while the other side is eating coarse food, I really don't believe that many of the latter can genuinely laugh at the former."

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "They have lost their freedom and independence."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Yes, they lost the freedom and independence to eat coarse food and were forced to live a difficult life of eating meat and fish."

He retorted and complained to Yuyuko.

The latter was stunned after hearing his words.

Given the current climate and her upbringing, Yuyuko instinctively wanted to explain the importance of freedom to the strong.

But after thinking about Kurokawa Kazuya's words, she felt that something seemed off.

The girl who faced death with equanimity was not a pedantic person.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Does Kurokawa really think he can provide a feast?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Leaving aside the resources I control, the voluntary binding of individuals is the very foundation of society. I believe that a group that works together as one will definitely develop better than a group that is constantly fighting amongst itself."

He started spouting profound truths.

He had initially wondered if his choice was too extreme. But now, after learning about the secrets of Heian-kyo, that thought completely disappeared.

In a world where public sentiment can genuinely influence reality and even create monsters, if you don't control everything, everything will eventually spiral out of control, and you'll end up losing everything.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "So Mr. Kurokawa intends to bring all future city administrators under his control."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Yes, I'm even thinking about whether I can hire people to make the system more complex. The potential in this area is much greater than I imagined."

He muttered to himself, his thoughts drifting aimlessly with his words.

For example, he could act as the leader and distributor of power, distributing it within the city limits under his control for purposes such as security.

This makes up for the lack of high-end combat power, and the security forces are fully capable of using various forces to suppress and maintain order among the rioters in the city.

This type of method is actually quite common in the supernatural world.

It is a common practice for deities to bestow their power upon their holy sons and daughters.

According to the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, the combined power of all the people in a city is complex and diverse.

Aside from the Hakurei Shrine Maiden's unique soul and immortal beings like Kurokawa Kazuya from Hourai, virtually no one can withstand this power.

But times are changing, aren't they?

Just because it doesn't work today doesn't mean it won't work in the future.

"Mr. Kurokawa seems to have a lot of insecurity."

The crisp sound rang out again, pulling Kurokawa Kazuya back to reality.

Kurokawa Kazuya: "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Weren't the two of them discussing city-related matters? How did the topic suddenly veer off in this direction?

So you've resorted to personal attacks because you can't win an argument.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Because I suddenly thought of something I could do."

The gentle young lady smiled at Kurokawa Kazuya:

"Compared to Kaguya and Banaka, Mr. Kurokawa has always been quite wary of me, hasn't he? I've been thinking about your plan. Perhaps I could choose to participate. Maybe becoming the first manager would be a great honor."

She took two steps back and gave Kurokawa Kazuya a polite, well-mannered smile.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Mr. Kurokawa, what do you think of me?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Yuyuko's Pleasure to Teasing

Is Kurokawa Kazuya wary of Saigyouji Yuyuko?

If this counts as vigilance, then he is actually vigilant towards everyone except Kaguya Houraisan and Anzu Hachimi.

As transmigrators, it's perfectly normal for him and Banami to be wary of everything in this other world.

Kaguya's secret was exposed to the other person from the very beginning, and the two of them had a "what's the use" mentality, so naturally they could no longer hide it.

But now...

"Although you said that, Yuyuko, I can't actually treat you the same way I treat Kaguya and Hanami."

He shook his head at Saigyouji Yuyuko, who looked expectant beside him, giving his answer.

Kurokawa Kazuya has no intention of revealing his true situation until he has enough strength to resist most threats.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "It doesn't matter. What I asked for isn't a secret in itself."

Da da da~ da da~

The sound of footsteps echoed around the girl as she walked.

The two were still walking on their way back to the town.

The rustling of leaves came from the forest with the blowing wind.

The eldest daughter of the Saigyouji family exudes a quiet and gentle demeanor, even in her simplest of movements.

As if noticing that Kurokawa Kazumi was looking at her, she turned her head to face Kurokawa Kazumi with an exceptionally sincere smile on her face.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Mr. Kurokawa hasn't answered my question yet."

Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. Kurokawa Kazumi didn't really understand this statement before, but she understands it a little now.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I'm starting to suspect that you, Yuyuko, are actually quite the ladies' man."

He looked at Saigyouji Yuyuko and, as if trying to change the subject, began to make a sarcastic remark.

Why does the other person always suddenly veer off in a completely different direction when they're talking about serious matters?

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "No, Mr. Kurokawa is the man I've had the most contact with besides my father."

Kazuya Kurokawa: "So what's your reason for wanting to get closer to me? It can't be that you've fallen hopelessly in love with me after just a few months together, can it?"

She looked at the young lady beside her and complained.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Why not?"

The pink-haired young lady winked at Kurokawa Kazuya, her gentle demeanor like a cool breeze in early spring, comforting yet strangely soft.
