Chapter Title: 182. Yongyong Carries Love (2)
Mincho. It's a flavor out of a fantasy.
Geum Tae-yang kept sending me coupons to try it, and before I knew it, I'd fallen hook, line, and sinker.
The fragrant harmony of toothpaste and chocolate! Isn't it perfect?
Yuzuki stared at me in disbelief after hearing that, then cautiously opened her mouth.
"...Just you watch. I'll remake your tastes in the Japanese style."
Gasp. My palate's been corrupted by Japanese flavors!
"Anyway, I'll help."
"No point stopping you, is there? Go ahead."
She seemed to have given up and accepted it.
No, maybe she even wanted to ask for my help right now.
Even if Yuzuki had taken a liking to me from the start, she probably never imagined our relationship going this far.
She just wanted to get friendly, maybe even recruit me to Japan if possible. But things were different now.
She was probably thinking it would be great if we became lovers.
"What about the Hell Gate?"
"The hunters have set up barricades, but it's still tough. They'll hold it, but there might be casualties."
"Then I'll go sweep it clean in one go."
I puffed out my chest confidently.
"You're really stepping up? Won't that put your position at risk?"
"Hmm, I don't care. But if our shogun finds it fishy, want me to handle it like this?"
I slipped into my nun outfit for the first time in ages.
Nun Yongyong was in full Byakuya mode.
"As Byakuya Church's leader?"
"'Yoo Eun-ha' might be dangerous, but if it's the original owner Byakuya lending a hand, that's a different story."
Byakuya from Byakuya TV was making a rare appearance!
"Wait, Byakuya handed the leadership to Yoo Eun-ha. Oh?"
Yuzuki started to say something, then shut her mouth.
Right. Byakuya had already passed leadership to Yoo Eun-ha. In other words, Byakuya was totally free right now.
"So Byakuya's got no issues."
"Got it. Let's go together."
"Damn it. There's no end to them!"
Some of the hunter forces stared at the monsters pouring endlessly from the gate, their faces slack with exhaustion.
They seemed short on numbers over there.
Arriving on the scene, I decided with Yuzuki to save them.
Snap!
The irregular demons charging at the Japanese hunters suddenly started killing each other.
Thousand Sword Art - Shower
A thousand swords rain from the heavens
A thousand swords poured from the sky—not ordinary blades, but the ones wielded by Shinohara Yuzuki.
They mercilessly rained down on the demons.
"Gaaahhh!"
"Kneel."
Any demons surviving the shower lost their heads to Yuzuki's swinging blade.
From the moment I joined, the Hell Gate was as good as done.
It was hilarious watching demons kill each other every time I snapped my fingers.
Here to slaughter humans, yet under Azidahaka's authority, they turned on each other. Sloth wouldn't be pleased with this.
That loser couldn't even confess to the girl he liked, and now his plans were failing because of me.
Thousand Sword Art - Draw
Dozens of demons bisected in an instant
Dozens of demons were cleaved in half by Shinohara Yuzuki's draw and died.
"She's my girl, after all."
While everyone was caught up in the chaos of battle, I slipped behind Yuzuki and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"We're in the middle of a fight. Focus."
"But they all kill themselves with just a finger snap, right?"
Even now, with another snap!, the emerging ones blocked the path and slaughtered each other.
Eventually, all the monsters would die out, and the gate would vanish.
Sloth's sin would fizzle out pathetically since Japan was handling it better than expected.
"Can you do something besides killing them?"
"Sure. Want to see them strike sexy poses in unison?"
The problem was they'd go insane afterward.
Azidahaka's authority was like that—chaos, destruction, the worst things imaginable for humans.
On demons, it might look lame, but they'd all end up brain-dead.
Not bad against demons, though.
"I'm gonna puke."
"What if I do it to our shogun?"
Yuzuki's face twisted delightfully at my words.
"I won't let you off. I'll go on worldwide broadcast and announce, 'This woman's my pet dog.'"
"Hmm, not a bad idea."
Did that mean she wanted to claim ownership that badly?
She had a possessive streak, surprisingly.
My pussy was busy, but maybe I could indulge her once.
She scowled at me like it was ridiculous.
"A mutt who loves giving and receiving. Hard to know which tune to dance to."
Anything fun with a girl worked for me.
"Then shogun as the receiver?"
"I've got my social position and dignity. How could I?"
Why not? It sounded great.
Wasn't the fun in a high-status woman with dignity falling into ruin?
Time to show her a glimpse of hell.
Snap!
The demons, oozing menace, suddenly started kissing each other.
This was the upgraded authority!
Yuzuki would feel the chaos now.
Her face crumpled instantly as she swung her sword, slicing them apart in a flash.
"I said don't."
"Not sexy poses."
"Talking back? Should I tie these fingers to make you behave?"
Yuzuki fiddled with my fingers.
Ah, that felt good. Hehe. More, and I'd be in bliss.
"Insult me more, hehe."
"Such a pervert. Let's wrap this up quick."
The monsters spilling from the Hell Gate had mostly been wiped out by the hunter alliance's attacks.
We jumped into the fray, handling the gates short on manpower, picking off monsters one by one.
"Whoa! It's the lord and Byakuya!"
"Byakuya's here!"
Morale soared among the Shinsengumi and Japanese hunter alliance.
The irregular monsters' offensive from the Hell Gates had reversed into an all-out assault by the Shinsengumi and hunters.
Online articles mentioned the Hunter Association or Ha Jung-seok offering support if Shinohara requested it, but that wasn't my concern.
I could handle it alone anyway. What?
"Hahaha, Sloth, you watching?"
His face would be twisting nicely right now, I bet.
"Sloth?"
"The sin behind this mess."
"Greed last time, Sloth this time—who's next? Truly a global nuisance."
Yuzuki said that while pummeling monsters with her sword shower via my finger flicks.
"Greed's already mine anyway, so whatever."
"How'd you catch it?"
"Didn't I tell you? Fucked it raw in mini-dragon form."
I pounded it relentlessly.
Hmm, looking forward to the next. Next time, knock it up.
Could I impregnate it?
Irresponsibly dragon-seed it until pregnant.
"Even perverts shouldn't lie. Bad habit."
"It's true. That bestiality freak? It was moaning like crazy. Now it sees me—dragon form—as master since the hierarchy flipped."
Ugh, thinking about it gets me hot again.
"How could a human in disguise do that with a monster..."
Those types exist.
"Isn't calling someone you like a monster too much?"
"No, she acted like one."
"Still, doesn't it sound fun?"
"Hmm."
Our shogun pondered while cleaving demons.
What? Could it be possible?
"Your body's heating up—you're interested?"
"Not really."
"Nothing wrong with a little curiosity. Your tastes might be unique. Especially for our lord leading a nation—the thrill of being dominated by a mere beast could heighten it."
As I said that, tracing the curve of her back down to squeeze her ass, Yuzuki's body twitched and trembled.
"Ah, that's..."
"See? You're all warm."
Toasty. In heat?
Fitting for a heroine. They were all so sensitive.
Who knew Yuzuki, moaning desperately on Choi Si-woo's holy sword, had this side.
"Focus on the Hell Gate now."
"Yes, ma'am."
Right. I'm a gentlemanly Yongyong. I won't push too hard.
Though later, sneaking into her as a dragon for a midnight tryst sounded fun.
How would it feel for Japan's top woman to lose her virginity to little Yongyong?
"Groooar!"
"Shut up!"
Stab!
I butchered the irregular demons in seconds.
Maybe they'd stop popping up.
"Seriously, your strength is insane. Where'd you get that power?"
"Born with it? What about our shogun?"
I got curious.
"Hard work. And don't call me shogun. I'm just the shogunate."
"Japan's government's probably obliterated this time. Establishing a shogunate?"
Let's go full regression!
With all the right-wingers purged, Japan would be in anarchy—perfect for a shogunate.
"Shogunate? That's a relic of the old era."
Yuzuki answered while dispatching a skull-faced demon.
It was basically a shogunate already, just dressed differently.
"In this monster-filled age, calling that outdated is the real backward thinking. Right? Korea's got Ha Jung-seok dictating, too."
Yet no protests or impeachments. There was a reason.
These days, a dictator was fine. That's how bad it got.
Even incompetents could limp along.
Plus, the dictatorship was symbolic. Hunters held real power, toppling any overreaching ruler.
Of course, Shinohara's Yuzuki would be absolute. But Japanese history showed successors or vassal clans could ruin the Shinohara line.
Or Yuzuki could rule eternally if she became a monster.
"Something to consider."
"They say third time's the charm for acceptance."
"Hmm. I'll think about it."
Financially, Shinohara establishing a shogunate beat propping up a new PM candidate.
In a human-only world, it'd be problematic, but against monsters, humans needed unified strength.
A warrior regime like the shogunate fit the image.
And so, the fantasy duo destroyed all the Hell Gates.
Snap!
My final flick ended it as the demons killed each other off.
"Mostly cleared?"
By now, demons from most Hell Gates were dead.
Did I just eliminate the threat to Yuzuki?
Good, but something still nagged at me.
Shinohara Inosuke. Had he really fled?
I doubted he'd leave Yuzuki alone.
"I'll check on the Shinsengumi and hunter alliance. You confirm all gates are gone."
"You used a ton of mana. You okay?"
I'd seen her unleash Thousand Sword Art nonstop.
That guzzled mana insanely.
Raining swords over the whole battlefield was spectacular.
"This much is fine. You do your thing, Eun-ha."
Fair enough, then.
"Alright."
No point lingering. That was her job as Japan's de facto ruler.
Then I'd prepare a gift?
Call it service for my new girlfriend.
"Eastern Japan erosion zone first?"
Japan's case was worse than Korea's, actually.
The cataclysm followed by a megaquake turned Eastern Japan into a deathland worse than Korea's erosion zones. Only up to Tokyo counted as Japanese territory; East was toast.
No survivors, per Shinohara regime surveys.
Any left were mindless horrors, not human.
Then I could hunt there, right?
I moved past the Hell Gate area.
Whoosh!
As a break for Japan's weary hunters from the battle, I torched the Honshu northeast erosion zone.
Not bad for hard work, huh?
No gates for a while now.
Anyway, I killed them, so grabbing some cores should be fine?
