Kivotos Warlord Development Manual

"No, my goal is to make the War Research Department the ultimate organization that controls Gehenna Academy. The position of the Speaker of the Pandemonium will not satisfy me. But you can rest assured that I will retain the system of the Pandemonium. After all, Ibuki seems to like you very much."

"That's right, Ibuki likes Makoto-senpai! He also likes Iroha-senpai and Yukikaze-senpai!~"

Ibuki, who was asking Iroha to wipe his hands, suddenly joined in the conversation happily. Then Makoto, who had a strange expression on his face, seemed to be refreshed and turned to look at Iroha excitedly.

"Quick! Iroha! Did you record what Ibuki just said?! I want to use this as my wake-up call!"

"I'm sorry, although I'm happy too, but normally there won't be anyone responsible for turning on the recorder at any time..."

"Tsk, forget it..."

Disappointed Makoto looked at Xuefeng again, stared at her for a while, and then put on an exaggerated smile.

"Jiejiejie——"

"Very good, no no no, it should be very good. After hearing Ibuki mention your name today, I asked Pandemonium to investigate your situation."

"I didn't expect that after discovering that you were accidentally injured by the Disciplinary Committee, you directly chose to intervene in the Disciplinary Committee's actions to correct their wrong behavior, and even successfully suppressed Sorasaki Hina's power."

"Honestly, I admire your talent and wisdom..."

"No, I should say that after knowing that you have such great ambitions, I, the Speaker, appreciate your courage and charm in promoting your own ideals and desires even more!"

"Of course, there's also the wisdom of being able to tell at a glance that Ibuki likes this Chancellor the most!"

"I have to say, with your ability, if you directly join the Pantheon, I am also optimistic that you will become the new successor to the Speaker."

"But since you've thought of a new direction that's more difficult, I'm also interested in how far you can go."

As he said that, Makoto turned his head and looked at Iroha with dissatisfaction and complained: "People like Kurosaki Hina who only rely on force to speak don't understand this kind of truth at all. The strength of Gehenna lies in the personality and ambition embodied by each student, as well as the courage to turn it into reality!"

"Ah... at least when she was firing a machine gun in the Pandemonium, she still had some personality and courage..."

Iroha answered very cooperatively, but in return he got a roll of the eyes from Makoto.

"If brute force could conquer the world, Gehenna would have replaced the Federal Student Union as the King of Kivotos long ago!"

Chapter 49 Let's Be Lazy Today

"Iroha, force is only the last resort when communication is impossible. A true leader should conquer everything with his own charm and wisdom."

"Just like what Speaker Ben did in Pandemonium and what she did in the Disciplinary Committee!"

"Xuefeng isn't that willful or reckless..."

Iroha's mouth twitched slightly as he continued the conversation, but Makoto waved his hand and said proudly: "This is what I admire most about her. She is obviously strong enough to compete with Kurosaki Hina, but she is completely different from the arrogant and unreasonable Kurosaki Hina!"

"Hahahaha! You saw it too! She just slightly satisfied the personalities of the discipline committee members that were suppressed by Kurosaki Hina, and successfully sidelined that annoying guy! This is exactly the result of the principles and expectations that this chairman has always adhered to!"

At this point, Makoto paused for a moment, regaining the arrogance he had when they first met, hugging his shoulders and said arrogantly: "Come on, I will give you enough help, I hope you can successfully touch that ambition that is like a sky garden, haha! ~"

Xuefeng didn't feel anything when he heard this, but Iroha, who was standing next to him with a helpless look on his face, was frightened and asked back in horror.

"The help you're talking about should be additional club funds, right?"

"Huh? How could this speaker be so stingy? She is a talent who can even deal with Kurosaki Hina, so of course I have to provide her with the support to completely suppress that guy!"

As she spoke, Makoto raised her slender fingers wrapped in white silk gloves towards Yukikaze.

"Iroha, please write me a letter of order when you get back, recruiting her as the Secretary General of Pandemonium. From now on, she can apply for and get approval for anything she needs."

"Huh? What kind of position is that? And it's not allowed by the rules, right? Yukikaze is already the director of the War Research Department, and the school rules prohibit one person from joining two clubs..."

Iroha was still trying to stop Makoto, but she just laughed even more arrogantly.

"Of course I know this, so the definition of this position is to select elite students from other Pandemonium to assist the Speaker in handling affairs. From now on, all affairs within the academy will be handed over to the Secretary-General for adjudication!"

"This is a special right that only the Pandemonium can exercise. A mere Sorasaki Hina is far from being comparable to this Speaker, haha!"

At this moment, Miss Yukikaze finally realized what Makoto was planning, and her expression became subtle...

Regardless of how bad Makoto's character and personality are, and regardless of how many terrible things she has done before...

Is this guy who entrusted almost half of the assets of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace to me when they met for the first time really a normal person?

Oh, no...

She is not a normal person...

But are people in Gehenna so easy to trust others? !

Or are all the bosses in Gehenna so straightforward? !

It would be fine if Hinata believed in herself. After all, with the admiration of the Discipline Committee members for her, she didn't have to worry about her power being lost, not to mention that her fighting power was already strong enough to suppress all threats.

But Makoto knew that he wanted to overthrow her, right?!

And she also meant for me to use the resources of Pandemonium to develop the War Research Department? !

And then wait for me to overthrow her? !

What is going on here...

The Chairman of the Pandemonium is personally leading the charge to support the rebellion? !

Or...

Is Makoto planning to bribe me in this way?

hiss...

It's true that I just poached Iroha from her a while ago, so Makoto wants to recruit the War Research Department directly?

She is indeed sincere...

Putting aside Miss Yukikaze who was having wild thoughts and starting to doubt her life, Iroha on the opposite side, after hearing Makoto's decision, had an expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself, as if he was going to continue persuading her to give up this idea.

Seeing her like this, Makoto's face showed an incomprehensible look of sadness.

"Iroha, don't be so rigid. Isn't Pandemonium in need of people who are good at doing things? And you and Ibuki trust her, right? This is a good idea that I thought about for a long time."

“Putting the right people in the right positions and helping them create an environment where they can give full play to their abilities is what leaders need to do!”

"Um...Aren't you worried that Yukikaze will overshadow you like Hina did..."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? If the first-year juniors can't surpass their seniors, doesn't that mean that Gehenna is getting weaker and weaker?!"

"No... I mean... if Pandemonium is really taken over by other societies..."

"Your idea is so strange. Gehenna is not a chaotic place like Trinity. Why should we worry about such things?"

"..."

The speechless red-haired ball didn't know what to say.

However, when she saw the confusion and bewilderment on Xuefeng's face that was almost solidified, and the obvious well-intentioned worry that followed, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and nodded in agreement with a faint smile of sudden enlightenment.

"I see, Makoto-senpai, you're right."

"Haha, have you finally understood the great wisdom of this speaker?!"

"Yes, it is really a wisdom that is irresistible..."

……

After taking Makoto and Ibuki out of the police station, Iroha directly ordered the four tanks on standby to take over Makoto's escort duty.

It can be seen that these girls in the chariot unit seem to be very familiar with this business. After seeing Makoto, they directly invited her onto the chariot without Iroha giving any instructions throughout the whole process.

The two people standing at the door of the police station watched the convoy merge into the traffic flow in the Shiratori District. At this moment, Iroha raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xuefeng with an ill smile.

"Please give me more advice in the future, Miss Secretary~"

"Stop it, don't even think about it. I don't want to help the Ten Thousand Demons Palace!"

"I'm already busy enough with the Disciplinary Committee and the War Research Department. Tomorrow I have to work with Yazi and the others to deal with the aftermath of this war!"

As Yukikaze refused, Iroha climbed up on Toramaru in a few seconds, then stretched out his right hand towards her with a miserable expression.

"Then just consider it as helping me. Anyway, these tasks that originally belonged to the Secretary-General are now either done by me or the Discipline Committee, and in the end, they all have to be decided by Makoto-senpai."

"You also hope that things will be easier for both me and the Discipline Committee!~"

After hearing Iroha's words, Xuefeng suddenly recalled those strange reasons for rejecting the application documents, as well as the terrifying scene of Ako throwing the documents in anger...

It can be predicted that there will be a lot of aftermath of this war, and most of them need to be approved by the Pandemonium, the student council. According to Makoto's habit, it would be strange if the Discipline Committee is not blocked on this...

Wouldn't that mean I would be completely trapped in the pile of documents of the Discipline Committee? !

no...

I don't have that much time to waste on this.

Wait... No wonder Makoto just specifically said that he had given me the approval power for school affairs, and emphasized that this was a power that only Pandemonium had...

So there is a threat here that not accepting goodwill is the enemy?

He really deserves to be called a shrewd and scheming guy by Yazi!

Thinking of this, Xuefeng's expression gradually became worse as she climbed onto the chariot. At this time, she heard Iroha's pitiful and aggrieved voice again.

"Come on, let's do it together. You don't want your good friend to be faced with a pile of endless work all day long..."

Looking at the red-haired ball's obviously pretended pitiful look, Xuefeng let out a long sigh.

No matter what, at least Iroha is right about one thing. The handling of post-war affairs must not be left to Makoto to decide. The horrible workload will really kill people...

Forget it, I'd better agree to it first...

After all, it might be easier to just transfer these tasks from one hand to the other...

Although I don't know why Makoto said that she had sidelined Hina, I'm afraid that before long, she will find out that she and Hina actually have a very good relationship, right?

But by then all these troubles should have been dealt with long ago, and then she can take back her power.

If you think about it this way, the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages...

Thinking of this, Yukikaze, with a somewhat conflicted expression, nodded towards Iroha, and after seeing Yukikaze's agreement, the red-haired dumpling immediately turned over happily and jumped into the commander's hatch.

"Haha, I promise to take you along and have a good time!~"

"Let's go, after a whole day of hard work, I can't help but want to go back and take a bath!~"

"Ah, weren't you planning to go to the scrap yard to complete the final assembly work?"

Xuefeng asked in surprise, but Iroha, who had successfully made her, a senior engineer, his own, was not in a hurry.

"I'm going to be lazy today. It happens that after the recruitment documents are issued tomorrow, you can deal with the relevant documents of the new tanks. I will take them over and we can deal with them together then!"

"Oh, so are you going to sleep over at my place tonight? I'll just get you the list of supplies and funds the War Research Department needs."

"No need to bother. Tomorrow, when you take up your post, just go to the management terminal and fill out a registration form. There are already so many ammunition and supplies in the Pandemonium warehouse that they are almost full."

"That won't do. The War Research Department isn't a subordinate club of the Pantheon. I won't do something like this that confuses public and private interests."

"Oh, then I can help you come up with a framework agreement. In the name of Pandemonium, I can entrust the War Research Department to dispose of the expired ammunition and supplies. In the future, if you need more, just let the staff go to the warehouse to move it. I can also give the War Research Department an additional administrative allowance."

"Iroha-san, you are abusing your power for personal gain!"

"If you don't want to, I can only find a specialized company outside the academy to handle it. From now on, the accounts of the Pantheon will be under your management. Don't blame me for wasting money when the time comes."

"...No, leave this to me! I will donate the money to Pandemonium in the name of the War Research Department later."

"Ah... then this really becomes a power-for-money transaction, huh? Miss Secretary-General is a quick learner."

"...You lousy bureaucrat, I'll just exchange the money for comfort items when the time comes!"

"Ah...yes, using your position to forge a soft alliance of interests is really excellent."

"Hey! Can't you be more positive?!"

"Oh? You've even learned how to smear and attack dissidents? This really opens my eyes..."

"You...why are you like this!"

"Yes, yes, yes. After throwing dirty water on the political opponent, he then proved his innocence to the public. He is really skilled!~"

"I! Lu! Bo!"

"Eh? Now the next step is a threat to your personal safety. That's terrible. You have completely fallen..."

……

The tank tracks rolled rapidly, and the sound of the wind brought the girl's coquettishness and laughter into the sky, and finally melted into the noisy night scene.
