These Miss Red shoes are Miss Red.
If Itsuki were here, she would realize how much of a scam her Mission was.
Because the queen she needed to find and rescue in her Mission was now wearing Miss Red shoes, deep in slumber and completely a puppet controlled by Miss Red.
And Miss Red's strength?
Its strength is by no means inferior to Spider Mother!
The reason it stopped resisting for a short time was that this guy actually surrendered voluntarily!
"Is this the special effects of Leaders Charisma?"
The Skill - Leaders Charisma, which was devoured by the Apocalypse Watcher, once had a special effects that could attract those who were worried about their future to actively follow it.
Kisaragi Rin glanced at her, realizing he couldn't discern any expression from a pair of shoes.
"So why do I feel like this guy is a gentle and intellectual big sister?"
Kisaragi Rin's expression was a little unnatural. After all, he hadn't known Miss Red for long, and it was his first time being bowed to by such a powerful entity.
Shaking his head, Kisaragi Rin didn't overthink it.
Being bowed to by a Strange Tale is a good thing. There's no need to worry about whether they genuinely join.
The friendship in the Otherworldly Girl Helper Manual can, in a sense, be seen as the loyalty of generals and strategists to their lord in Three Kingdoms-style games. A Strange Tale with insufficient loyalty would not be able to access deeper information.
Looking at the Magic Mirror, Itsuki still hadn't realized that she had fallen into a fantasy created by Scarecrow as soon as she entered the pumpkin carriage.
"Then Illya, Itsuki's trial is up to you. The difficulty still needs to be lowered."
Kisaragi Rin handed the Magic Mirror to Illya.
Itsuki's trial didn't require Kisaragi Rin to be personally involved in everything; it was fine to leave it to the Strange Tales under him.
Compared to the trial, his current focus was to explore the value of this Fairy Tale World and decide whether to leave Ryudoji Temple's door in this world.
"Miss Red, with your strength, do you know of any particularly powerful forces in this world?"
Kisaragi Rin asked her.
"I do, President."
Miss Red's gentle and intellectual voice rang out.
"I've traveled to many places and encountered some powerful forces. Those are terrifying forbidden lands that ordinary Strange Tales would find dangerous even to mention.
For example, Little Ponyville, Green Green Grassland, where it is said there is the secret of the entire world losing its sun."
Kisaragi Rin: "..."
Alright, the value of this world is confirmed.
Even such beings have merged in; the upper limit of this Strange Tale Fairy Tale World is extraordinarily high. He wouldn't trade it for ten One Piece Worlds.
He's truly curious if Grey Wolf in this world can develop a 'Bye-Bye Machine' to travel to higher dimensions.
Moreover, these are all Strange Tales.
Spider Mother and Busujima Saeko's eager gazes all modestly looked over. They also understood that the opportunity for the Strange Tales Association's development was here.
"So, the vanished sun in this world isn't because something happened to Princess Celestia of Little Ponyville, is it?" Kisaragi Rin complained.
Princess Celestia is the queen of Little Ponyville, governing the daytime sun, while her sister, Princess Luna, governs the nighttime moon.
Thinking again of the six thunders before the moon went out, could these be the six main characters of My Little Pony?
Namely, Twilight Sparkle, who represents magic, Rainbow Dash, who represents loyalty, And if something happened to Fluttershy, then the fate of Discord, the Spirit of Chaos, would surely change as well.
Miss Red didn't catch Kisaragi Rin's sarcasm and complimented him in astonishment, "As expected of the President! I only found a tiny clue about this information by relying on that Magic Mirror and traveling across vast regions."
Kisaragi Rin: "..."
Spider Mother also raised her hand next to him, conjuring a trumpet and cheering as if narrating.
"Solving the world view in less than a day, the President is truly wonderful!
Spider Mother is extremely impressed!"
Tapping Spider Mother's head, Kisaragi Rin retorted, "This is just a guess. The integration of worlds allows for more possibilities in everything, for example, the sun being stolen by Grey Wolf's Weather Cube... But there are also means of verification. I'll give this world view to Itsuki later, and the Paradise will give a corresponding response based on the extent of this world view's decipherment."
Illya gave him an OK gesture. The Human-faced Dog and the others gathered together, eager to bring some fun to Itsuki.
"Now, for the other important matter."
Kisaragi Rin yawned, his narrowed eyes reopened, now a noble azure. His lazy posture also became solemn, making the slightly relaxed atmosphere in the inner hall return to its initial cold sternness.
The fireplace flames surged, and Calcifer's eyes secretly observed the situation from below.
It saw golden sparks overflowing from the hem of Kisaragi Rin's Demonic Garment with the rolling heat of the flames. It saw the bizarre ukiyo-e paintings become vibrant, and the newcomers present dared not make a sound.
Finally, Kisaragi Rin's voice fell.
"I understand this world now.
I welcome all of you to join the Strange Tales Association organization, and I believe that as long as no unpleasant things happen, the future of the Strange Tales Association will lead you to the highest divine realm.
So, none of you would mind participating in an induction ceremony for the Strange Tales Association, would you?"
The air fell completely silent, even the flames no longer flickered as Calcifer held its breath.
Scarecrow dared not move. Its senses told it that the members of those Strange Tale organizations were watching it. The smiles Spider Mother and Busujima Saeko showed them from beside Kisaragi Rin looked utterly malicious to Scarecrow.
Induction ceremony?
Even with my straw-filled head, I know that's some kind of control method, right?
When I surrendered just now, I thought that was it. You didn't tell me there was this step!
I mind! I mind! Miss Red, why don't you come out and argue with reason!
Then, Scarecrow's gaze became dull.
Because Miss Red did not refuse. On the contrary, her voice remained relaxed and elegant, as if answering a waiter's question about orange juice or plain water.
"Naturally, no problem, President."
"That's good."
Kisaragi Rin extended his hand, and Miss Red also controlled the puppet to extend its arm and shake it.
Shadows and black smoke swirled. In just a moment, Miss Red, along with the controlled queen, left two different ukiyo-e paintings on the Demonic Garment.
Seeing this, Scarecrow and the others also understood that they had no right to refuse. Now, they could only temporarily dispel their resistance by thinking that even Miss Red could voluntarily surrender, so the future of the Strange Tales Association might indeed be promising.
