Chapter 221 The old man is really cute(1/2)
Among all the monsters in Hokkaido, Yukino is confident that her strength can rank among the top five.
The reason why it is said to be the top five is because the monsters at the top are all about the same strength, and it is not certain who can definitely defeat whom, so the ranking has always been controversial.
However, although the ranking of the top five yokai has never been determined, only the number one yokai is unanimously recognized by all yokai in Hokkaido.
That is the leader of the Northern Yokai Alliance, the most powerful and oldest Yokai in Hokkaido.
No monster knows how long it has been practicing, but there is no doubt that its power is no longer in the same dimension as other monsters.
There is even a rumor circulating among youkai that if the allies become angry, the entire island of Hokkaido will tremble.
Fortunately, this alliance leader's character is not as violent as other monsters. On the contrary, its character is considered very gentle.
He has always maintained a neutral attitude towards monsters and humans, and will take the initiative to eliminate monsters that cross the line when necessary.
It is precisely because of its presence that today's Hokkaido is such a harmonious scene.
Of course, in addition to the unfathomable demonic power, the alliance leader also possesses extraordinary wisdom and a far-sightedness beyond that of ordinary demons.
Under his leadership, the Northern Monster Alliance successfully built a huge modern base under the Daisetsuzan National Park, operating day and night like a steel beast.
At this moment, in the spacious silver corridor, Yukino was undergoing strict identity verification.
As the last security door opened, she arrived at the base's war room.
According to what the pangolin demon said, the alliance leader is now here, carrying out the so-called secret battle plan.
However, although the pangolin demon did not understand it, Yukino knew the contents of this so-called secret combat plan very clearly.
After all, she was personally involved.
Therefore, she understood what kind of cruel scene she would see after opening this door.
But we have already arrived here, and there is no reason to retreat.
Xueno took a deep breath, calmed down, stretched out her hand and opened the door in front of her little by little.
The thick wooden door slowly opened to both sides, and light poured out of the gap, revealing the scene behind it.
In the spacious and bright room, opaque black pipes covered the entire floor, and were finally connected to a certain machine.
There are several giant electronic screens placed against the wall at the back, giving a strong sense of technology.
On one of the screens, a white-haired loli in suspenders who was seventy-nine similar to Yukino was jumping back and forth on tiptoes, with a smile on her cute face and waving her arms forward, looking full of energy.
In front of the screen, there is a tall figure.
His skin was like the bark of an ancient tree that was hundreds of years old, showing a withered dark yellow color and even cracked in some places.
The facial features are the same as those of humans, but there are fresh green buds growing at the ends of the hair, and there are even branches emerging from it.
Such an image can easily remind people of a noun.
tree man.
That's right, the leader of the Northern Monster Alliance's true form was transformed from an ancient cedar tree.
This kind of thing is very rare in neon.
Because according to Shintoism, the land of Neon has divinity, and the roots of plants are closely connected with the earth, so it is almost impossible to become a monster.
But this cedar tree is an exception.
For some reason, he opened his spiritual intelligence when he was still a seedling, and it took thousands of years for him to finally successfully transform.
As soon as he transformed, he possessed the power of a demon king, and was later given the throne by the demons as the leader of the Northern Monster Alliance.
At this moment, the leader of the Shanshu Alliance was standing in front of the electronic screen, doing exactly the same movements as the white-haired lolita on the screen, and murmuring at the same time.
"This is Yukiko, thank you all for coming today~"
"Well, Xue Xuezi likes everyone the most~ (Bi Xinxin)"
"Hey, do you want to see a certain death? Hey, this kind of request Yuki Yukiko can't satisfy everyone~ (twisting buttocks)"
"Ah, thank you for the 100,000 yen reward from 'Yukiyukiko's Cute Pinch'! Oh, I really can't do anything to you. If this is the case, then Yukiyukiko will also work hard~ (lifts skirt)"
Looking at the fir tree leader who was wearing a motion capture device, with gyroscopes and magnetometers fixed everywhere on his body, and making various shameful actions, Yukino, who had just entered the room, couldn't help but tremble with anger.
His face turned red and he couldn't help stamping his feet and yelling angrily.
"Stop it, perverted old man!"
"When you said you wanted to use my image, you didn't say you wanted to become a Vtuber (virtual idol)!"
Hearing Yukino's voice from behind, the leader of the Shanshu Alliance was suddenly startled, and then hurriedly waved in front of him.
"Then today's live broadcast will end here. See you tomorrow. Don't forget to subscribe to Xue Xuezi!"
Amidst the barrage of question marks that filled the screen, the live broadcast went dark instantly.
As the live broadcast screen closed, the leader of Shanshu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweaty forehead.
"Phew, it was so dangerous. A live broadcast accident almost happened. It involves the title of Neon's number one Vtuber. I really can't be careless at all."
He straightened his expression, then turned back and asked kindly.
"Xiao Yukino, why are you back so soon? Have you finished everything?"
"snort."
Hearing this, Yukino immediately turned his head and looked at the wall angrily, as if he had no intention of paying attention to him at all.
The leader of the Shanshu Alliance, who was familiar with her character, also understood the reason why the other party was like this. He pointed at the machine that was connected to various pipes and was running with steam, and comforted her harmoniously.
"Okay, stop making trouble."
"Don't forget, the production of demon coins requires the power of human faith. You see, with my current popularity among humans, the production capacity of demon coins has been increased to twenty per month."
"If I can become the number one Vtuber in neon in the future, then the monthly production of monster coins is estimated to be increased to one hundred. By that time, there will no longer be monsters that need to fight over resource allocation issues, and the world will
Become peaceful because of it.”
"And the price is just that you need to show off your fatness a little bit. If you calculate it, it's a good deal, right?"
After listening to the other party's words, Yukino's bulging cheeks finally became deflated a little bit, and she reluctantly nodded.
"...If that's the case, fine."
She then added.
"But grandpa, you have to promise that you become a Vtuber for the sake of world peace, not to satisfy your own weird habits!"
"Of course." Leader Shanshu agreed without even thinking.
"Really?" Yukino looked at the other party with some suspicion.
The leader of the fir tree stroking his beard, making a rustling sound when the leaves rubbed between his fingers, smiled kindly.
"Haha, Xiao Yukino, when did I lie to you? Although I seem to be enjoying it, in fact, I have already felt calm about such a thing."
"What I'm thinking about is how to lead the monsters in Hokkaido towards a tomorrow full of hope."
Looking at the fir tree leader with eyes as calm as water, Xueno couldn't help but lowered his head in shame and apologized in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, grandpa, I misunderstood you."
"Haha, it's good that you understand." The leader of the Shanshu Alliance smiled happily.
He then turned his head to look at himself on the screen, couldn't help but raise his butt, and let out a sigh of relief.
"But having said that, this old man is really cute. If he is this cute, he should be able to become the world's number one Vtuber, right?"
"Oh, it's really great to live in such an era. I have to work harder and develop more killing methods."
Hearing this, the expression on Xueno's face suddenly froze, and she clenched her fists bitterly.
Sure enough, he is still the perverted old man!
Suddenly, the voice of the Shanshu leader paused slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice became calmer.
"Okay, let's not talk about my matters for now."
His arms stretched like branches, he took a tray and two teacups from the side, filled them with tea, handed them to Yukino, and asked with concern.
"Xiao Yukino, how are you and the human you like getting along?"
Yukino was startled, then took two steps back like a granddaughter whose grandfather had revealed her thoughts, and emphasized loudly with a blushing face.
"What kind of human being has I taken a fancy to? I... I just took a fancy to the demon coin that was offering a reward for him! Grandpa, please stop talking nonsense!"
"If you just like the demon coins, will you run out in a hurry after seeing the target's photo?"
Looking at Yukino's insincere expression, the leader of the Cedar Alliance said happily.
"Xiao Yukino, don't forget that I watched you grow from a snow boy to the snow girl you are now. It's a thousand years too early for you to hide this from me."
"Well..."
Looking at Yukino, whose face was getting redder but not saying a word, the leader of the Cedar Alliance took a leisurely sip of tea.
"Okay, I won't go into the specific details, but you should have already succeeded in that human being, right?"
After hearing this, the blush on Yukino's face subsided a little.
