88 Ruler (1/2)
Misaki was in a daze due to what she had just heard. But there was no one rejecting what he had just announced. Even Grandpa Nagasawa's right hand man nodded his head in approval. Misaki did not know what to say. She did not think she was really cut out for the job but it seemed everyone was going to push her into this role!
After a long while of silence, Misaki finally said: ”Grandpa you have been in charge of the Nagasawa clan since before I was even born! How can you just pass it all over to me!? Plus I am very impulsive! I killed a man just for questioning my authority and fed him to Ra'thar!”
”Yes, I know. But in this new world, this new age. These things are a given! You are what this new era needs. These people followed you because you gave them hope. You won the trust of over five thousand soldiers and military personnel and their commanders! I will still be here to assist when you need me to but from this day forward the Nagasawa clan is no more and this new clan… No, this new nation that we will be building will be named by you!” Grandpa Nagasawa's face was full of seriousness. It would have been fine if he made such a face in his old body but in his new body, it just looked like a little girl being cute.
”But...” Misaki was still unsure if she was going to be able to handle such a role.
”No buts! Brat you handle things the way you have been handling them. If you need to kill a few people then kill a few people. Are you not a demon lord to begin with!? From what I know Demon Lords are supposed to kill humans left and right. Just do not go overboard!” Shu'la who was standing next to Misaki nodded her head with every word that Grandpa Nagasawa said.
Misaki looked around and everyone nodded their heads. Misaki let out a long sigh and said: ”Fine... But… Grandpa, Chief Takahara, General Utsumi I will be needing your guidance.”
”Only natural. Now, what will you call the new nation!?” Grandpa Nagasawa asked.
”Yeah Misaki, name it something that fits the whole Demon Lord thing!” Chiho chimed in. She found this whole thing fun and interesting. Her best friend was about to become the ruler of southern Japan!
”Ummm... Then how about, Dark Front...” Misaki tossed out a random name.
”Hoho! I like it! Okay! Let's hold a meeting!” Grandpa Nagasawa clapped his hand together. He seemed to be a bit overly excited.
Chiho snuck in close to Grandpa Nagasawa and asked: ”Jiji what's the real reason for making Misaki the leader?”
”This old man is now fresh in his prime. I want to be free with no restraints! Just don't tell the brat she might hit me!” Grandpa Nagasawa said these words and then ran off to go organize a meeting.
Chiho stood there and watched her grandfather's retreating back for a few seconds before she burst out laughing. 'He is getting too used to being a little girl!'
It took almost an hour to gather everyone that included monsters, civilians, soldiers, and those from the Nagasawa clan. Grandpa Nagasawa stood up on Ra'thar's hand with Misaki, Chiho, Chief Takahara and General Utsumi. In a cute voice, Grandpa Nagasawa shouted out: ”From this day forward I will be stepping down as the leader of the Nagasawa clan and appointing Misaki Mitsu as the new leader. The Nagasawa Clan will be no more. With all the new additions being it human or monsters and by the fact that we are now the rulers of southern Japan. We will now form a new faction with Misaki Mitsu as the head. Misaki, say a few words.” Grandpa Nagasawa stepped aside to let Misaki step forward.
