Chapter 378

The degree of change is constantly rising and falling, pursuing the giant dragon of Qingxin.

"Oh oh oh—so deep—faster—I love you so much, Teacher's College—love me—ahhhhh—"

"Xiaochun is great, isn't she... Xiaochun feels good inside, doesn't she—Shifan, Shifan, Shifan—hurry up—fuck Xiaochun until she's raw, Xiaochun can do anything—"

The slapping sounds grew louder and faster. Clutching Qingxin tightly, the girl, her hips bobbing up and down, moaned in the bright candlelight, almost forgetting her own existence, let alone the people watching around her.

The people around her no longer cared about her; their attention had already shifted to Qingxin.

As the girl trembled and collapsed once more, releasing the dragon's breath, everyone rushed forward.

As expected, Hirako got to be the first one. The dragon was awakened by her skillful hands and returned to its most suitable and sweet homeland.

Tonight, Aozorakan is just as it always has been.

Author's Note: Update Progress: +13. This chapter is a 4K combined chapter, please vote and give rewards~ Volume 3 is starting to wrap up, filling in the previous plot holes and digging some new ones, preparing to start Volume 4. Black Myth is alright, not as exciting as I expected, but still pretty good—though I've only played two chapters. Although I beat the boss in Chapter 2 without even getting a counter-item, I died about ten times. Overall, it's a good game with minor flaws, its style leans more towards God of War than Souls-like.

Chapter 352: Losses

Back in the Imperial Palace, in a familiar and safe place, Emperor Taisho finally recovered from his shock. He picked up his teacup and took a sip, instinctively wanting to summon his ninja, but as soon as he raised his hand, he remembered the figure that had shattered in front of him during the explosion.

"damn it……"

Emperor Taisho cursed under his breath and rubbed his eyes.

The Emperor naturally travels with a large entourage, but in that earth-shattering explosion, apart from Emperor Taisho himself and Princess Misuru who survived thanks to their excellent equipment and lineage, almost everyone else was instantly blown up.

Leaving aside the ordinary people, the ninjas of Shiranui, the Onmyoji of the Onmyōryō, and the Emperor's guards within the Imperial Palace were all invaluable talents. But now they are all dead.

And it wasn't just these people; the final round of the Imperial Examination, coupled with the Emperor's personal presence, attracted not only a small number of people, but also countless high-ranking officials and nobles.

Needless to say, the six provinces and the army and navy were also affected, not to mention the countless members of parliament. Except for a few who were spared by the priestess, the rest of them had already been crushed to pieces.

This massive explosion effectively wiped out half, if not more than half, of the existing political structure and bureaucracy! This means that the entire administrative system of the Japanese government has been destroyed; not only are there no ministers, but there aren't even any administrative staff!

Thinking about the various consequences that would follow, Emperor Taisho felt like he had one head bigger than two.

But this is not the end.

Because the majority of the dead were ordinary spectators. While they were called ordinary, those who could afford to watch the Tianlan Tournament finals certainly weren't ordinary farmers or workers. Those spectators were at least middle-class executives, some even company presidents or directors; many were foreigners, even foreign aristocrats. But the explosion treated everyone equally, scattering them all.

Problems in the domestic business environment can be considered minor issues, just a bunch of businessmen; but AIA's astonishment is a real and serious problem!

Japan's international situation is far from ideal. Its occupation of Korea has led to constant conflicts with its former master, and its covetousness in the Far East has caused friction with Tsarist Russia. It relies on Britain and Germany to maintain its dignity and "civilization" in order to protect its international reputation and economic market share—and then, the ambassadors of Britain and Germany, along with their families, bodyguards, and a host of foreigners, all died.

Emperor Taisho was considering abdicating.

But just think about it.

At least he's still alive, isn't he? And he witnessed and experienced firsthand the power of the Japanese samurai! With samurai like Taira no Harunobu around, how could Japan not prosper?

Indeed, his idea to rebuild the "Northern Warriors" was absolutely correct! It was truly prescient!

If, under the leadership of Taira no Harunobu, a new group of samurai are selected and trained, then...

A voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Princess Misaku requests an audience."

Emperor Taisho awoke from his reverie and said in a deep voice, "Mitsuru, come in."

Misuru-hime entered the main hall, carrying a stack of documents. Behind her stood Ran Shiranui, her white mask concealing two extremely wary gazes. The explosion had startled the fox-like woman.

Emperor Taisho moved the teacups and snacks off the table, and had Princess Mitsuku place the documents on the table, asking, "Have the detailed results been released?"

Princess Misuru sat opposite Emperor Taisho and spoke softly: "Including the Aozorakan and us, there are a total of 2365 survivors, but most of them have developed serious psychological problems and are probably no longer of any use."

"In addition, only thirty-one participants in the Tianlan Trial survived, of whom only twenty were capable of using their strength."

"In addition, the deaths of Fujiwara no Mitsuyori (the Yin-Yang Head), Hatamoto samurai Genkuro, the German ambassador, the British ambassador, and the Russian ambassador have all been confirmed. Attempts to summon their spirits are underway, but there are no results yet."

"Naval and Army Headquarters..."

"All administrative organs..."

As Princess Misuru delivered one piece of bad news after another, Emperor Taisho could no longer bear it and quickly interrupted, inserting his own whimsical thoughts: "Wait, Misuru, let's talk about the samurai issue first—what do you think of Taira no Harunobu?"

Misuruhime put down the document in her hand, her thin lips twisted, and she coldly uttered: "A very powerful man, and very responsible; although he is very lecherous, his personality is not bad."

Emperor Taisho beamed with joy: "Then..."

But before he could even open his mouth, Misuruhime coldly interrupted him: "He can go crazy for those women, do you think he would abandon them for a princess?"

Emperor Taisho's intentions were all too clear; it was nothing more than the marriage alliance scheme, wanting to use Princess Misuru to completely bind Taira no Harunobu.

Ultimately, it was because Taira no Harunobu's performance at the meeting was so outstanding that he single-handedly broke through the deadlock and saved everyone else—including Emperor Taisho and Princess Misuru.

To be honest, even Misuru Hime admitted that she was slightly tempted. If this guy's transformation back into a human had been more normal, she might have actually fallen for him after being rescued by a hero.

Unfortunately, Taira no Harunobu and his wives proved to Mitsuki that "the beauty the hero wanted to save was not her."

She's not even as good as Ran Shiranui; at least Ran could talk to him.

Therefore, Misuru-hime decided to stick to the original plan and maintain a tacit, superficial relationship with Hirahara Harunobu. After all, he wouldn't even look at her.

Grinding her teeth, the princess continued, "Moreover, rather than a marriage alliance that might backfire, I think it would be better to win him over by using the same enemy; the Tongxin Society and its monster rebels are a good target, and Taira no Shinichi has clearly been provoked by them."

When this topic came up, Emperor Taisho naturally nodded. He used to think that the Tongxin Society was just a bunch of third-rate rebels who would never amount to anything, but after this massive explosion, it was clear that no one would still think that way.

Moreover, after calming down, as an emperor with only one wife, he really didn't want his daughter to suffer that kind of injustice—although that didn't affect his desire for his daughter and son to be together.

But none of that matters now; what matters is that the Tongxin Society must perish.

"What clues did you find?"

Misuru nodded: "From the remnant soul of Yakumo Kurenai—the former quasi-fire demon who defected—we found the location of the Doshinkai headquarters."

Chapter 379

And their next steps, including some of their plans.

Emperor Taisho was greatly encouraged: "Where are they? I will send troops to send them all to heaven one by one!"

The Ueno Explosion not only deeply impressed Emperor Taisho with Taira no Harunobu's personal military prowess, but it also instilled in him an extreme reliance on the destructive power of modern weaponry. Even if Taira no Harunobu could withstand the Ueno Explosion, could he withstand an even stronger one?

The same applies to the members of the Tongxin Society who could be single-handedly defeated by Taira no Harunobu.

But Misuru-hime shook her head, pouring cold water on his hopes: "Unfortunately, we only know they're in Osaka, not their exact location. Besides, the current situation at the Army and Navy doesn't allow for a large-scale troop mobilization. We need to be careful of another southwestern rebellion."

Emperor Taisho, unable to contain his anger, asked helplessly, "So, what you mean is?"

“Form a special squad to find the Doshinkai in Osaka, or even eliminate them outright,” Misuruhime said quietly. “Taihara Harunobu would be very happy to participate in this, and it would also make it easier to assemble the new Kitamen Samurai.”

Emperor Taisho pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Let's do it this way."

“I understand.” Misuru nodded, then picked up another page of the document. “Then we need to discuss the compensation issue…”

"Filling the gaps in official positions..."

Page after page of documents were picked up, then categorized and put away, until everything was completely cleared out. Even though this was only a preliminary discussion, it still took a considerable amount of time, and after it was completed, Emperor Taisho fell into a deep sleep.

Of course, this was none of Misuru's concern; the palace servants would take care of it. She simply picked up the annotated document and left the main hall.

Shiranui Ran followed behind her, and only after they had walked quite a distance did she whisper, "My lord, are you really not going to tell His Majesty the Emperor?"

“No.” Misuruhime stared straight ahead. “Those things would be better in my hands. This is a rare opportunity.”

Shiranui Ran nodded and remained silent.

From within her pocket, countless mournful cries emanated from a jet-black glass bead.

Chapter 353: Miss Fox's Surprise

The next day, Harunobu, who had fully recovered and was back to normal, was sprawled on the sofa with his head resting on Tachibana Nako's chubby thighs, unable to see the ceiling with his eyes open; at the same time, he had one arm around Tsuchimikado Haru and the other around a kitten, restlessly rubbing against their smooth thighs, looking like a complete pervert.

When Shiranui Ran, who had been led in by Hosho Amu, saw this scene, her lips drooped down, and she unceremoniously squeezed next to Harunobu and pinched his calf.

"What are you doing?"

Harunobu tilted his head to avoid the plump, super-sized orange and looked at Shiranui Ran.

Shiranui Ran grunted and sat down next to Harunobu: "I came to discuss with you how to get revenge on the Tongxin Society. Get up."

Harunobu reluctantly climbed off the soft, delicate thighs, then rested his head on those full, jade-like breasts. Tachibana Nako wrapped her arms around Harunobu's waist.

A slight blush rose on Shiranui's pretty face beneath her blue mask, but this time it was definitely not because of shyness or anything—that despicable pervert!

And Xiaochun! What kind of expression is that?! And what kind of posture is that?! Aren't you supposed to practice hard and become a master Onmyoji?! Is this your attitude towards practice?!

Shiranui Ran felt a bit itchy in her teeth and wanted to bite something, like an ungrateful little girl or a lecherous samurai.

Harunobu glanced at the [Anger] mark above Shiranui Ran's head, knowing he'd teased her enough. So he sat up and rested his head on the heads of the two children, who were about the same age and size: "How does the Imperial Court plan to retaliate against the Tongxin Society? It's not just going to put up an arrest warrant, is it?"

Shiranui Ran's anger was extinguished by Harunobu's sudden seriousness, but she was still very unhappy. Even though Harunobu had already sat up and his expression was serious, she was still very unhappy.

However, a skilled ninja can always control her emotions, so she got back to the important matter: "The government is preparing a report on the Ueno bombing, which will be released to the public later. It will include the specific number of casualties, names, compensation and benefits, as well as the complete account of what happened."

Because this time the government is truly completely innocent—those who aren't innocent have all gone to heaven—they acted quickly and had nothing to hide.

And once these things are distributed, the reputation of the Tongxin Society will inevitably plummet to the bottom. In this era, such a massacre is already horrifying, and we must remember that World War I hasn't even started yet.

However, public opinion alone cannot destroy an organization centered around a group of monsters.

Upon receiving Harunobu's questioning gaze, Shiranui Ran did not answer immediately, but instead changed the subject: "Then, the report will also mention that because Taira no Harunobu is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness and has rendered meritorious service in saving the emperor, he is awarded the first place in this year's Tenran Trial and will be married to Misuru-hime on a chosen date."

No, buddy?

While I can understand the official's desire to use a bigger sensational story to counteract negative public opinion, after 60,000 deaths, you're announcing I'm going to marry a princess? Do you really think your throne is too secure?

And isn't Minamoto Yuki Sakura still alive... Oh, okay.

Harunobu didn't hide his doubts, and Shiranui Ran naturally noticed them. She then smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's impossible for you to marry the princess right away. It's just to release some information to prove the government's integrity."

Shiranui Ran continued, "Then, the government will simultaneously announce the establishment of a new special department, the 'Higher Demon Countermeasures Division,' to resolve and prevent all possible demon problems."

"Resolve and prevent all possibilities?" Harunobu's eyes turned strange; such wording was quite jarring in official documents. In simpler terms:

"What the Embroidered Uniform Guard can handle, we can handle; what the Embroidered Uniform Guard cannot handle, we can also handle!"

"Execute first and report later, special permission granted by the Emperor!"

Shiranui Ran, who had been watching Harunobu closely, nodded in agreement: "It's just as you think. His Majesty the Emperor was terrified this time and is now determined to eliminate the Tongxin Society."

"Okay, count me in." After saying that, Qingxin thought the conversation was over, so he leaned back again. But after waiting for a while, he didn't bump into those soft and bouncy breasts, which made him open his eyes in surprise.

Two swirling blue gusts of wind pressed against his back, preventing his head from landing on Tachibana Nako's ample breasts. The caster, of course, was the golden-haired fox lady. She angrily tapped Harunobu's leg: "I haven't finished yet. Those are just the parts that the public will definitely know. There are still things I need to discuss with you."

As she spoke, Shiranui Ran took off the red fox mask and the demon sword Sesshomaru from her waist and threw them onto the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Harunobu sat up again, with Tsuchimikado Haru and the kitten nibbling at each other's ears in his arms, their unspoken giggles audible—but it was good enough that Tsuchimikado Haru had regained the energy she had when they first met.

He gently pinched the two little ones' bottoms, shooing them down from his arms. Harunobu looked at Shiranui Ran with a serious expression: "So, is there anything else?"

"First, both the Emperor and the Princess want you to be the first head of the Anti-Demon Division; what do you think?"

"Are there any conditions?" Harunobu asked in return.

Shiranui Ran chuckled and replied, "Besides killing all the members of the Tongxin Society and maintaining loyalty? Nothing."

"Alright, I accept. Anything else?" Qingxin didn't mind being a eunuch who didn't have to have his penis cut off for once, and his gaze had already fallen on the demon sword and mask on the coffee table.

Shiranui Ran noticed Harunobu's gaze, then smiled and said, "Since you've agreed, the next step is to discuss the headquarters of the Tongxin Society."

"According to the intelligence we extracted from Yakumo Kurenai, the previous headquarters of the Tongxin Society had always been..."

Chapter 380

They're all in Osaka; it's a pity we couldn't find the exact location, but I don't think that'll stump our respected head of the Anti-Demon Division.

Harunobu rolled his eyes, expressing his dissatisfaction with Shiranui Ran's deliberate attempt to keep people in suspense: "Going to Osaka? Fine, I've never been anywhere outside of Tokyo before."

“Alright, now for the third thing.” Shiranui Ran finally looked at the demon sword and mask she had just put down. “I think you’ve already guessed it.”

Harunobu sat up straight: "You're not going to tell me some nonsense like Yakumo Kurenai isn't dead yet, and that she should atone for her crimes by doing good deeds, are you?"

"Unfortunately, you answered incorrectly." Shiranui Ai Asahi extended her right hand, her slender fingers appearing incredibly delicate even under her leather gloves. "Where's the fox doll I gave you?"

Qingxin scratched his head and looked at the kitten playing nearby: "Kitten, where's my doll?"

The kitten abandoned Tsuchimikado Haru, went to Harunobu's bedroom, took out the doll, and handed it to Shiranui Ran, who exuded a cold aura.
