Emperor Demei was born in the year 1062 of the Tianyuan calendar, and his wife Yumiko is three years older than him. They are a couple who have been married for almost 36 years.
It has to be said that the couple who live in seclusion and ignore political affairs are very popular among ordinary people in Wano. It is said that Emperor Demei had a shot face when he was young and was deeply loved by his elder sisters and old aunts. If he were not born as a crown prince,
In the Wano royal family, maybe he has become an idol now.
January 23, 1122 in the Tianyuan calendar.
Today is Tomei's 60th birthday. Countless shrines and temples in major cities in Wano have held grand celebrations. Ordinary people's activities such as funerals that are contrary to the festive atmosphere will spontaneously be postponed for a day accordingly.
In the hearts of most people, they still respect and love the royal family according to tradition. The emperor, who has no power in his hands, is their spiritual symbol. The emperor and his wife have always had a good reputation in society.
On the contrary, the previous Prime Ministers, who have the most power in Wano Country, are often singled out and criticized for nothing. The Prime Ministers are also the positions that change the fastest.
On the large balcony of the East Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, Empress Yumiko stood next to Emperor Tomeko in a cinnamon-colored dress, holding a palace fan and gloves with a kind look on her face.
Next to them are Crown Prince Nifumi, who is wearing a palace tuxedo like the emperor, and His Highness the Prince. They are holding the crown prince and princess respectively in dark blue dresses. There are also two princesses wearing mint green dresses beside them. The emperor and his family are in attendance.
for this grand celebration.
The small square facing the big balcony is crowded with countless high-ranking officials from the country of Wano. They are greeting each other with smiles. At a glance, almost all of them are big shots who can be seen in the official news of major TV stations.
Familiar faces.
As for the steps below the small square.
The staff of the six major TV stations including NHK, Asahi and Tokyo arranged countless high-definition cameras to broadcast the images of this grand Tenjo Festival to thousands of households in Wano in real time.
It's half past ten in the morning.
Emperor Tokumei appeared on the cameras of the six major television stations, and he began to deliver a 60th birthday speech into the microphone on the large balcony.
For a time, representatives of the public who came to celebrate the emperor's birthday in the large square further outside the Imperial Palace waved their small flags and fans and cheered. The members of the royal family next to Emperor Demei smiled and waved to the people.
Return gift.
"Today is my sixtieth birthday, and it is also my thirtieth year as emperor. It is a great blessing for me to be able to perform the duties of emperor with the trust and love of the people of Wano for the past thirty years since I took the throne.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people for accepting me as the symbol of the country of Wano. I also sincerely thank Prime Minister Atsu for his leadership and contribution to the country."
"But on such a day of celebration, I have to say something very sad. There is still no news about Team Leader Tokugawa who was patrolling the North Sea on New Year's Day, but we will not give up the search.
My family and I here pray for the early return of Team Leader Tokugawa."
"At the same time, on behalf of the people, I would also like to express my sincere apologies to Foreign Minister Amuro-san who was implicated and wronged by Team Leader Tokugawa. I sincerely hope that our people will have a clear mind to distinguish right from wrong in the days to come.
Become a perpetrator of public opinion.”
Emperor Tokumei's speech paused here, and a reporter from the TV station showed the camera to Taku Amuro, who was standing behind the Prime Minister of the General Cabinet in the small square below the palace.
With a warm smile on his face, Foreign Minister Taku Amuro turned his head and waved to the camera, then turned and bowed slightly to Emperor Tokumei, who was delivering a speech on the palace balcony.
In an instant, a burst of even more enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the large square outside the Imperial Palace, which was crowded with countless people wishing birthdays.
"Is it officially cleared?"
The public delegation in the Imperial Palace Gardens, Higashinohara stood among the student representatives of Takehara Minami Private Academy, holding the small flag handed out from above and waving it boredly.
He looked at Foreign Minister Taku Amuro, who was standing in the small square in the distance under countless cameras and security personnel, and Higashinohara's consciousness once again sank into the crime manual in his mind.
[Name: Taku Amuro]
[Race: Human]
[Sin value: 5 stars]
[Character image cross-section (can be clicked to open)]
[Randomly selectable mission: Capture or eliminate Wano Foreign Minister Taku Amuro. If the mission is successful, the target will drop an ability or skill and receive a crime value attribute reward]
As expected, Higashinohara just looked at Taku Amuro from a distance for a few times, and the crime manual in his mind began to turn.
Finally stopped at page 011.
Random optional tasks are non-mandatory tasks. The reason why Higashinohara was still here listening to the aging emperor's birthday speech after triggering the task.
Not because he was interested in it, but because he wasn't sure today was the right time.
You know, Higashinohara now doesn't even know what cards are hidden behind his opponent. If he takes action rashly in such a public place, he will undoubtedly easily fall into a very dangerous situation.
And this time is different from Beihai or Takehara Minami Private Academy.
The enemies he encountered in the first two encounters all had six-star sin points. When they met, they could provide Higashinohara with 60 points of temporary attributes, all of which were added to his agility, allowing him to easily break through the 100 mark.
That's why Higashinohara has the confidence to use this peak speed to compete with those with absolute abilities above the seventh level and even those with demigod level abilities.
Even if you are defeated, you can still run.
However, Foreign Minister Taku Amuro, as the mastermind behind the attack on Tokugawa Ritora, has a crime value of five stars - although judging from the crime value of the [Sin Manual], three stars are considered killable, and killing a five-star
Takuya Amuro doesn't have any psychological burden.
However, there is no doubt that
The five-star Taku Amuro can only provide 50 points of sin points. Even if Higashinohara's basic attributes have been upgraded to the fourth level under normal circumstances, the total of them is only more than 90 points of attributes.
The attributes are obviously not as good as when Beihai broke through the 100 mark.
Well, although Higashinohara has now opened his second eye of [Nine Eyes and Six Paths], and he has also gained a water ability called [Desolate Ruins], his overall strength may have improved.
But the environment we live in now is also different.
There is a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Imperial Palace of Wano. The three seventh-level absolute ability users like Genshin who were dispatched for the execution on Asahi Island last year came from behind the Sakurada Gate.
No one knows what other trump cards there are in this imperial palace. In addition, Mick Gioia, the judge of the Judgment Division, has never left the country of Wano.
Under these various factors, unless there is a "variable" that happens to happen, it will be difficult for him to find a reason to convince himself to make a desperate move today.
Higashinohara is not a dead soldier,
Even less willing to play with each other and die together.
You are dead and I am alive.
This is the "revenge" he wants to complete.
The chapter name of the previous chapter is not very harmonious, so I won’t use it~
