Miss Surtr will ignite the world

"Then for now, let's not fulfill any malicious desires, like murder."

"Second, control the intensity of your wish; don't use too much magic at once."

Third: A person can only have one wish fulfilled.

"fourth......"

"..."

That's all for now. Let's go try it out and see how it goes.

After a moment, Surtr stopped.

This was her first time doing something like this, and she couldn't possibly be perfect in every aspect; she could only try it slowly.

Let's start by checking out the surrounding area to see how it goes.

"Command entered, master."

Yustissa lowered her head and then disappeared into the lake.

Surtr picked up the Holy Grail and placed it inside her familiar's stomach. Then she found a defensive magic circle in the textbook and planned to set it up around the Holy Grail later.

After all, there is only one Holy Grail, and we can't afford to lose it carelessly; necessary precautions still need to be taken.

After putting his familiar into his backpack and saying goodbye to Bella, Surtr left the mansion.

In a slum, on a simple square.

Like the city center, the slums have their own ecosystem, with stalls, shops, and squares—basically everything you'd expect. However, compared to the bustling city center, they appear quite rudimentary.

Because she intended to appeal to the masses, Surtr chose a place with many people to place the Holy Grail.

This place doesn't seem very suitable for a temple, but coincidentally, there is a fountain in the center of the square.

It wasn't very big, and it looked almost completely worn out, so it was perfect for her to borrow.

Surtr set up a barrier around the fountain to ward off evil spirits. He took out the Holy Grail, repaired the area around the fountain, burned away the excess debris, and then built a platform in the center, placing the statue of the God of Liberty on it.

The feet are secured using magic.

As for the water, let it slowly flow out of the Holy Grail in your hand, even though it feels a bit strange.

last step.

Opening the textbook, Surtr took out some materials from her backpack, pointed to one of the defensive barriers, and said to Miss Pilgrimage.

"Let's set this up."

Since discovering that the other party could understand human speech, Surtr's usage has become quite casual.

It seems like it was pretty casual from the start.

"clear."

Upon receiving the command, Lady Grail began to move on her own.

Miss Surtr then went to the side and stuck a sign on the ground, intending to give the fountain a catchy name.

"Hmm... let's just call it Lu Jingquan."

Akame ga Kill!: Leave of Absence

Please take one day off.

Akame ga Kill! Chapter 26: A King Who Doesn't Belong to This Era

The supreme First Emperor slumbers in the deep, dark valley, but one day he will awaken from his slumber and lead the empire to prosperity once more.

Offer your faith, add as a friend, delete. Those who sincerely serve His Majesty the Emperor may have one reasonable wish granted.

Directly in front of Lujingquan, Surtr wrote words on a stone slab.

Although it sounds like a scam like "I, the First Emperor, send money".

But this is the real deal.

If everyone is limited to one wish, it's likely that they will choose what they want most, increasing the chances of triggering the mission.

Finally, Surtr wrote a three-part honorific title at the bottom of the stone slab.

'A king who does not belong to this era'

'The Builder of a Thousand-Year Empire'

'The eternal ruler of the world'

"It feels about right. Although it's a bit plagiarized, nobody knows anyway."

Surtr nodded, built a platform, fixed the stone slab on it, then stuffed the Holy Grail into the familiar's belly and activated the magic circle.

That's it.

The magical light flashed across the ground, and Surtr clapped his hands. After checking that there were no oversights, he raised his hand and dispelled the barrier that had been used to banish people.

As people gradually returned, the once quiet square became bustling again.

Surtr left the square and found a rooftop with a good view nearby, where he quietly observed the situation below.

On the square.

"Hey, did this fountain look like this before?"

A middle-aged man with a receding hairline scratched his shiny bald head, looked at the newly renovated fountain in the center of the square, and asked his companion in confusion.

"It doesn't seem like it at all. Where would you find something so new in a place like this?"

Some people agree.

"But this thing is right here, could I be mistaken?"

"Hey, look, there are words on it."

Someone discovered the stone slab on the high platform.

On the rooftop, Surtr nodded to himself.

That's right, once one person's wish is fulfilled, more and more people will follow.

She specifically instructed that special effects be added when the eyes are focused on something, so that it would be more entertaining.

But soon, she discovered...

After standing in front of the stone slab for a while, a few middle-aged men scratched their heads, then left arm in arm without doing anything else.

?

Surtr tilted his head in confusion.

what happened?

You left without even trying?

It's not like I'm asking you for money.

There is no indescribable being in this world whose name cannot be casually uttered.

Surtr couldn't understand the actions of the men, but soon, several more strangely shaped men arrived, who looked like members of some gang.

Similarly, the group first glanced at the fountain with surprise, and then went to the stone slab.

The burly man standing in the center pointed at the stone slab, looked at his companion, shook his head, and then hurriedly left the square.

?

It still won't work?

Miss Surtr was very puzzled.

Are people around the world really this aware of fraud prevention?

Twice in a row, they refused to even try.

It shouldn't take much time to read a few sentences.

A glint appeared in her eyes; she wanted to see what those guys were really thinking.

Soon after, more people came to the spring.

This time it was a thin woman dressed simply, carrying a basket in her hand, who looked like she had just returned from grocery shopping.

The other person's gaze was also drawn to the fountain, but they only glanced at the words on the stone slab.

Doubt, curiosity.

Surtr could see what the other was thinking, but that only applied to the fountain. As for the writing on the stone tablet? The other didn't even glance at it.

I can't understand it. Are those words really that unworthy of attention? She probably didn't write anything that was difficult to understand.

【Um, host, do you think it's possible?】

Seemingly unable to bear it any longer, the system reminded me in my mind.

Is it possible that the residents of these slums are completely illiterate?

The system lady's words struck Surtr like a thunderbolt.

"A startling fact."

Surtr realized the blind spot.

Her ingrained way of thinking meant she hadn't thought of this problem at all before.

Because the lives of the upper class in this world were no worse than in Surtr's time, they overlooked the fact that this was just a feudal society and never thought of this matter.

Leaving aside people in the city, in the slums, being able to read is obviously a rare thing.

In that case, she'll have to promote it herself.

Thinking this, Surtr was about to get up, but then suddenly squatted down again.

As if suddenly encountering something troublesome, it concealed its presence, pressed its body close to the wall, and cautiously peeked out.

"What the hell is this guy doing here?"

Muttering to himself, he spotted a figure that absolutely shouldn't be there.

Dilapidated streets.

Dressed in simple clothes and wearing a mask, Esdeath walked down the street, with a handsome boy of no more than ten years old following beside her.

Despite wearing simple clothes, his fair face and hands were clearly out of place in the harsh living conditions of the slum.

The young emperor's face stiffened.

The surrounding environment seemed to make this distinguished person uncomfortable.

The air was thick with the stench of garbage, the streets were filled with ragged poor people, and every now and then you could see corpses in the alleys, their condition unknown.

The desolate scene before him felt both strange and familiar to the young emperor, who took pride in the country's prosperity.

Yes, it's all too familiar.

It was exactly the same place he had lived in for over a decade in his dream.

The same filth and chaos, the same suffering.

This is his country.

Unlike the glamorous upper class in the bustling streets, this scene truly reflects the reality of this country.

The official's flattering words echoed in his ears, and before that, he had believed them without a doubt.

Even those who tried to remind him were invariably regarded by the ministers as treacherous traitors spouting nonsense.

Then he personally ordered its elimination.

Clench your hands tightly.

He finally realized just how big a mistake he had made.

Perhaps, just like in the dream, this country has rotted to the core, which is why there have been riots all over the country recently.

The young emperor was filled with dread when he thought about the ending of his dream.

He didn't want to hang himself from a crooked tree.

My emotions were churning like a tsunami when suddenly I heard the sound of flowing water.
