Chapter 1490 – Chronicles of the Black Haired Foreigner – Heavenly Demon Emperor
“Huk! Lord Heavenly Demon!”
“Lord Heavenly Demon! Greetings!”
“No way…! Even the Holy Empress!”
Upon seeing our landing, the public security officers stopped their clubbing and saluted me.
Judging by appearance, the guy getting beaten was already a tattered mess, sprawled on the ground. Were these guys on official duty?
“Oh, yeah. Keep up the good work. But hey, guys, what were you doing?”
Upon my question,
“Yes! We were currently executing our official duties!”
The senior public security officer shouted proudly.
“Oh, really? Give me the briefing.”
“Understood!”
Immediately, the public security officer began explaining to me.
“We were dispatched after receiving a report that this drunkard was causing a disturbance! He was definitely completely intoxicated and causing trouble for passersby! We needed to restrain him, so we initially tried to reason with him and handle it well… But he refused to be taken into custody and even started shouting and attacking us!”
What a bastard.
“Therefore, based on a fusion-Confucian judgment, we inevitably had to use violence for suppression and assault for education!”
“And as you can see, he has become docile! We were planning to inject a little more beating before taking him into custody!”
“Yes! That’s right! Violence should be restrained, but if words don’t work, then violence must be used! Isn’t that the true value of fusion-Confucianism!!!”
Seeing the two public security officers taking turns speaking with great pride,
“Well done!!!!!!”
Emotion exploded within me!
ㅡClap clap clap clap!
ㅡClap clap clap clap!
ㅡClap clap clap clap!
I clapped and exclaimed in admiration!
It was like watching children who had studied hard!
These bastards were doing their jobs too well! Yes, not all public security officers were complete trash! I thought there would naturally be problems from the top down because the higher-ups were messed up, but I was wrong! There were public security officers who understood my curriculum so well!
“You were doing a very good job, admirable! Our public security officers!”
“Thank you!!! But it is only natural!!!”
“State your rank and name!”
“Capital Public Security Corps, 2nd Company, Private First Class Duntz!!!”
For reference, Kopson also belonged to the Capital Public Security Corps.
“That’s a good name!”
I should definitely reflect this kind of person in the personnel affairs. Originally, there had to be events like accidentally catching the eye of someone like me and receiving a good evaluation to boost morale.
Of course, that included the guy next to him.
“Hahahahaha!”
Anyway, I burst into laughter and looked at the tattered drunkard.
“Ugh… Kheuheuk…”
He was really on the verge of dying.
“Tsk tsk tsk. You shouldn’t cause trouble after drinking.”
According to the ideology of fusion-Confucianism, anyone who causes trouble without a justifiable reason will receive it back in kind.
There was a heartwarming story last time where they arrested a guy who was shouting loudly in the early morning without any particular reason, tied him up, and then several public security officers screamed randomly into his ears for about an hour, making him feel the pain of standing in someone else’s shoes.
A loudly shouting early morning offender tied up.
And the public security officers circling around him, screaming inhumanly into his ears. He would never do anything like shouting loudly again.
“If we go any further, he might die. Let’s stop here and take him into custody.”
Still, he shouldn’t be beaten to the point of becoming disabled just for drinking and causing trouble. I heard there were no major victims either, so beating him this much should be enough. If he got beaten enough, he could just pay a fine afterward.
“Understood!!!”
“Good. Reliable. But was there anything else happening today? I’m curious.”
Since it was the day a public security officer got drunk and caused trouble, I asked if there was anything else.
“Hmm… Yes. It was earlier this morning… We were on patrol when someone boldly dumped a large amount of trash in an alleyway and ran away! So we immediately chased after him, beat him up, and then imposed a fine of 300 sil.”
“There are still people like that these days.”
That bastard dared to illegally dump a large amount of trash in the capital’s alleyway? Then he deserved to be beaten. It was an excellent response. Anyway, our public security officers were doing a very good job according to the code of conduct I had designated.
The laws of the Heavenly Demon Empire were simple and straightforward.
If you do something dog-like, you get beaten like a dog or pay a fine. And if you commit a heinous crime that transcends that, you die or go to the inhuman sugarcane fields.
I was establishing these two concepts very well in the Heavenly Demon Empire.
In simple terms, if you do something shitty, you get beaten. This was easy to understand and easy to empathize with. This Heavenly Demon Kim Kat promotes rewarding good and punishing evil. Either way, evil beings must be beaten.
“Ah… and! Lord Heavenly Demon! Holy Empress!”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“Actually, I am a believer of the Heavenly Demon Church! I subscribe to Monthly Heavenly Demon every month and attend the Heavenly Demon Temple every weekend! And I study the fusion-Confucian scriptures whenever I have time!”
“Hehe! What a sound life this young man is living!”
Seeing this young man living so righteously warmed my heart. Subscribing to Monthly Heavenly Demon, attending the Heavenly Demon Temple every weekend, and studying fusion-Confucianism?
This was the kind of young man who could be called a talent of the Heavenly Demon Empire.
“Our believer is doing very well. Keep doing that in the future.”
Hilde also gave praise as the Holy Empress.
“Sharpening one’s morality. That is the shortcut to enriching life.”
You have to do well on the fusion-Confucian exam to get promoted.
“Ah, ah…! Yes! Yes, I understand, Holy Empress!!! I will always live while sharpening my morality!!!”
But the guy who heard Hilde’s praise sincerely rejoiced, knelt down, and clasped his hands with tears in his eyes… What? Why did he react more strongly to Hilde than to me?
“Then, Lord Heavenly Demon?”
“Ah, yeah. I should be going now. Public Security Officer Duntz. Continue to strive to maintain public order like this in the future.”
“Yes!!!!!”
After encouraging the public security officers like that, I flew up again with Hilde.
I would remember his name and tell Karin later.
Hilde was right, her pride was hurt because something shitty happened in the department she managed. If I told her this heartwarming story and said that Karin had educated them very well, she would be happy.
“Hehehe, it’s so heartwarming. See, Mr. Kat. Most of the public security officers are doing a good job. Of course, a small number of them will still cause accidents, but that’s just a small minority.”
Hilde said with a smile.
“That’s certainly true. But, hey, Hilde?”
“Yes?”
“Why do I feel like the reaction was better when you spoke than when I spoke?”
He showed me extreme courtesy, but when Hilde gave him praise, he trembled almost violently, knelt down, and shed tears.
Was he respecting Hilde more than me?
“Well… that’s because that public security officer was male, and I’m a beautiful Valkyrie, right? So it can’t be helped. I think it’s a natural reaction for them to be more enthusiastic about me.”
“I see.”
That made sense.
“In fact, our queens are also objects of admiration like Mr. Kat.”
“Well, that’s also true.”
“Ah! So, Mr. Kat!”
ㅡClap!
Hilde, who clapped her hands for a moment, said to me with shining eyes.
“It would be good to create a special edition of Monthly Heavenly Demon!”
“A special edition?”
What kind of special edition?
“Yes! Like doing a special event only in that month! Like making a queen booklet like the Monthly Heavenly Demon and selling it as a special edition!”
Queen booklet.
“Mr. Kat has as many as nine queens!!! From Claudia to Elise! Just like Monthly Heavenly Demon, put in photos, interviews, policy introductions, a word from them, and compile it into a special edition, it would sell very well!!!”
Oh.
Just a moment.
“Oh?”
That might sell well?
No.
It would definitely sell well.
As proven by the success of Monthly Heavenly Demon, the people of this world, who have no resistance to entertainment, are very thirsty for such things. Celebrities. High-ranking people. They really like and are enthusiastic about information magazines where they can learn about such people.
My popularity was explosive.
Then there was no reason not to be interested in my beautiful wives. No. Rather, they would be even more curious… Didn’t everyone know that they were ministers? People who bought Monthly Heavenly Demon every month would naturally be curious about my queens as well.
Monthly Heavenly Demon Special Edition – 1st Queen Claudia.
Monthly Heavenly Demon Special Edition – 2nd Queen Winia.
If a book like that was placed in a bookstore, there would be no one who wouldn’t buy it.
“But putting my women in a magazine…”
As I was contemplating, Hilde brought her face close to me.
“Mr. Kat. Aren’t you curious?”
“About what?”
“If you make special editions for each queen like that… And sell them specially only in that month as an event.”
If you sold special editions of the nine queens only in that month.
“Whose would sell the best?”
“Oh.”
What was this?
“This…”
Whose would sell the best? Sell well? That could be said to be a measure of popularity. So who would record the highest number of copies sold?
“Mr. Kat. I can’t help but be curious about that. Well, it’s not like I’m suggesting it because I hold the most external position as the Holy Empress…”
“Hey, Hilde?”
The Holy Empress of the Heavenly Demon Church, the state religion of the Heavenly Demon Empire, would definitely be able to secure a landslide victory, right?
“Hehehe! Anyway, please think about it!”
“Yeah. Well, I’ll think about it.”
But if you lined up nine people, there would definitely be someone who would come in last.
Thinking about that made me feel negative.
There was no way my women would come in last anywhere.
Anyway.
As we continued to fly at low altitude,
“Mr. Kat! There’s another fight over there!!!”
“Aish, damn it. Why are these bastards always fighting? What the hell, why are there so many fights?”
“Conflicts will never disappear in the human world. Shall we go check it out!”
“Yeah.”
ㅡWhoosh.
And so, we landed at the scene again.
“Huk! Lord Heavenly Demon…!”
“And the Holy Empress too…!”
“I can’t believe it!”
When we descended, making it obvious, the people gathered around widened their eyes and knelt down. It seemed like a chef wearing a chef’s hat and a dignified-looking old man were fighting.
“What’s going on this time? Chef? Why were you guys fighting?”
Upon asking about it,
“Th, that, Lord Heavenly Demon…!”
The chef trembled and took off his hat.
He was bald.
What was this? Was he trying to gain my sympathy by using the fact that he was bald?
“Tell me. I saw you fighting while flying and came down.”
“Th, that is…! Th-that man!”
“That man?”
The chef pointed to the dignified-looking old man.
“He tried to eat without paying, so I scolded him, and then he started using violence against me! So I tried to beat him with a pot, but then he ran away, so I followed him, and then people gathered around…!”
“Eating without paying?”
This bastard dared to eat without paying?
Still, confirming the facts first was more important.
“Old man. Is it true that you ate without paying?”
“It is absolutely not true. Great Lord Heavenly Demon.”
When the old man calmly replied, the chef went berserk.
“No, that red-faced liar!!!”
“Quiet. Chef.”
“Huk!”
“I am currently listening to the testimony of that person.”
“I’m sorry!”
“It’s okay. Be still.”
Then let’s listen.
“Old man. Tell me what happened.”
“I will tell you everything in detail, Lord Heavenly Demon. Before I sat down in the store and ordered food, I asked the chef this. Is the food delicious? Then the chef said yes, and I asked again if he could guarantee it. The chef said again that he could guarantee it.”
The old man explained like a character from Arabian Nights.
“And then?”
“So I trusted the chef’s words and ordered food. But as I was eating… wasn’t it not delicious? This is a situation where the chef has broken his trust with me. To guarantee it and then serve me food that is not delicious. Therefore, I could not pay, and I was about to leave. But suddenly, the chef got angry, asking why I wasn’t paying? At first, I also tried to resolve it with words, but soon he started using violence. So we fought, and when the chef picked up a pot, I ran away.”
What?
Did I hear something wrong?
“Chef? Is that true?”
“N, no! That’s nonsense!”
“In what part?”
“Clearly, it is true that I had such a conversation with that old man, but… Plate! Boy! Bring me a plate!”
When the chef spoke, a kid who looked like a waiter brought an empty bowl.
“Look! The old man ate all the food I cooked! So cleanly! No! If he had said it in the middle of eating, I would understand, I would! I would think that it didn’t suit his taste! But after eating everything, he comes at the end and says it’s not delicious and refuses to pay, isn’t that a blatant lie!!!”
ㅡCrack!
The chef’s forehead veins popped out, so wronged was he.
“That is because I could not throw away the food, so I ate it all. Food is precious. Leaving food is a sin.”
“Nonsense!!!! You didn’t say those words in the middle of eating!!!!!”
The chef was almost going crazy.
“Lord Heavenly Demon. Clearly, the chef guaranteed the taste of the food to me, and I ordered the food believing those words. But if it is not delicious, then it means that the chef lied to me, and that is a serious insult. Nevertheless, the reason I ate all the food was because I thought it was a sin to leave food, and the reason I evaluated the food at the end was because I thought that the taste of the food could only be accurately evaluated after eating it all.”
“L, look at what this crazy old man is saying!!!!!”
After listening to that all along,
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!”
A cheerful laugh burst out.
Wow.
Really.
Such an old man.
This was something else.
“Our old man is very good at talking!!!”
“Thank you.”
When I shouted that and patted the old man’s shoulder, the old man smiled gracefully and expressed his gratitude, and the chef instantly turned white, his face filled with despair.
“Such an old man who is good at talking! This is something else!”
“Thank…”
“Since ancient times, a stick was the best medicine for bastards who were good at talking! Hey! All the public security officers gathered there!!!”
“Yes…?”
I immediately ordered the public security officers.
“Beat this crazy old man to a pulp and take him into custody!!!”
