## Chapter 1490 – The Black Haired Foreigner – Heavenly Demon Emperor

“Huk! Heavenly Demon-nim!”
“Heavenly Demon-nim! Greetings!”
“No way…! Even the Lady Pope!”

The constables, seeing us land, stopped their clubbing and saluted me.

Judging by the looks of it, the guy they were beating was already a tattered mess, sprawled on the ground. Were these guys on duty or something?

“Oh, yeah. Keep up the good work. But hey, guys. What were you doing?”

When I asked,

“Yes! We were currently executing our duties!”

The senior constable shouted proudly.

“Ooh. Give me the briefing.”
“Understood!”

Immediately, the constable began to explain to me.

“We received a report that this drunk was causing a disturbance! Sure enough, he was completely drunk and harassing passersby! We had to stop him, so we tried to reason with him at first… but he refused to be taken into custody and even started yelling and attacking us!”

What a bastard.

“So, based on our Fusion Confucian judgment, we had no choice but to use suppressive violence and educational beatings!”
“And as you can see, he’s calmed down! We were planning to inject a little more beating before taking him in!”
“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!!!”

Watching the two constables take turns speaking so proudly,

“Well done!!!!!!”

Emotion exploded within me!

—Clap clap clap clap!
—Clap clap clap clap!
—Clap clap clap clap!

I clapped and marveled!

It was like watching kids who had studied hard!

These guys were doing their jobs too well! Right, not all constables were total shitheads! I thought that because the higher-ups were messed up, there would naturally be problems down below, but I was wrong! There were constables who understood my curriculum so well!

“You were doing a great job, admirable! Our constables!”
“Thank you!!! But it’s only natural!!!”
“State your rank and name!”
“Duntz, Private First Class, 2nd Company of the Capital Constabulary!!!”

For reference, Copson was also part of the Capital Constabulary.

“Good name!”

A guy like this definitely deserved to be recognized in his personnel file. There had to be events like this, where someone coincidentally caught the eye of someone like me and received a good evaluation, to boost morale.

Of course, that included the guy next to him too.

“Kekekekek!”

Anyway, I burst out laughing and looked at the tattered drunk.

“Ugh… Keueuk…”

He was really on the verge of death.

“Tsk tsk tsk. You shouldn’t cause trouble when you’re drunk.”

According to the ideology of Fusion Confucianism, anyone who causes trouble without a legitimate reason gets it back in kind.

There was a heartwarming story from last time, where they arrested a guy who was shouting loudly in the early morning for no particular reason, tied him up, and then had several constables scream randomly into his ears for about an hour, making him feel the pain of empathy.

A tied-up early morning loudmouth, caught in the act.

And constables circling him, screaming inhumanly into his ears. He would never do something like shouting loudly again.

“He might die if we keep going. Let’s stop here and take him in.”

Still, no one should be beaten to the point of disability just for getting drunk and causing trouble. I heard there weren’t any major victims either, so beating him this much should be enough. If he got beaten enough, then he could just pay the fine afterward.

“Understood!!!”
“Good. Reliable. But was there anything else today? I’m curious.”

Since it was the day a constable 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 guys like that these days.”

A bastard dared to illegally dump a large amount of trash in a capital alleyway? Then he deserved to be beaten. It was an excellent response. Anyway, our constables were doing a great 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. 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 sympathize with. This Heavenly Demon Kim Kat promotes rewarding good and punishing evil. After all, evil beings must be beaten.

“Ah… and! Heavenly Demon-nim! Lady Pope!”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“Actually, I am a believer of the Heavenly Demon Church! I subscribe to the Monthly Heavenly Demon every month and attend the Heavenly Demon Temple every weekend! And I study the Fusion Confucian scriptures whenever I have time!”
“Haha! What a healthy young man!”

Seeing this young man living such a righteous life warmed my heart. Subscribing to the 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 it up.”

Hilde also gave him praise as the Lady Pope.

“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, Lady Pope!!! I will always live my life sharpening my morality!!!”

But the guy who heard Hilde’s praise genuinely rejoiced, knelt down, teared up, and clasped his hands together… What? He seemed to be reacting more strongly to Hilde than to me?

“Then, Heavenly Demon-nim?”
“Ah, yeah. I should be going now. Constable Duntz. Continue to work hard to maintain law and order.”
“Yes!!!!!”

After encouraging the constables, I flew off with Hilde again.

I remembered his name, so I would tell Karin about it later.

Hilde said that she was embarrassed that something shitty happened in the department she managed. If I told her this heartwarming story and said that Karin had trained them very well, she would be happy.

“Hehehe, that’s really heartwarming. See, Kat-nim? Most of the constables are doing a good job. Of course, a small number of them will still cause trouble, but that’s only a small minority.”

Hilde said with a smile.

“That’s certainly true. But hey, Hilde?”
“Yes?”
“It seemed like the reaction was better when you spoke than when I did.”

He showed me extreme courtesy, but when Hilde gave him praise, he almost trembled, knelt down, and shed tears.

Did he respect Hilde more than me?

“Well… that’s because that constable was a man, and I’m a beautiful Valkyrie, right? So it can’t be helped. I think it’s a natural reaction for him to be more enthusiastic about me.”
“I see.”

That made sense.

“Actually, our queens are also objects of admiration like Kat-nim.”
“Well, that’s also true.”
“Ah! So, Kat-nim!”

—Clap!

Hilde, who suddenly clapped her hands, said to me with shining eyes.

“It would be good to make a special edition of the Monthly Heavenly Demon!”
“A special edition?”

What kind of special edition?

“Yes! Like having special events only in that month! Like making a queen’s booklet as a special edition, just like making the Monthly Heavenly Demon!”

A queen’s booklet.

“Kat-nim has as many as 9 queens!!! From Claudia-nim to Elise-nim! Just like the Monthly Heavenly Demon, put in photos, interviews, policy introductions, a word from each of them. If you put that together as a special edition, it will sell very well!!!”

Oh.

Wait a minute.

“Oh?”

That would sell well, wouldn’t it?

No.

It would sell 100%.

As proven by the success of the 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 information magazines that let them know about such people. They are enthusiastic about it.

My popularity was explosive.

Then there was no reason not to be interested in my beautiful wives. No. They would be even more curious… Everyone knew that they were ministers, didn’t they? People who regularly bought the Monthly Heavenly Demon would naturally be curious about my queens.

Monthly Heavenly Demon Special Edition – 1st Queen Claudia.

Monthly Heavenly Demon Special Edition – 2nd Queen Winia.

If books like that were placed in bookstores, there would be no one who wouldn’t buy them.

“But putting my women in a magazine…”

As I was thinking about it, Hilde leaned her face close to mine.

“Kat-nim. Aren’t you curious?”
“About what?”
“If you made special editions for each queen like that… and sold them as a special event only in that month.”

If you sold special editions of the 9 queens only in that month.

“Whose would sell the best?”
“Oh.”

What?

“This…”

Whose would sell the best? Sell the best? That could be said to be a measure of popularity. Then who would record the highest sales?

“Kat-nim. I can’t stand being curious about that. Well, it’s not like I’m suggesting it because I hold the most public position as the Lady Pope…”
“Hey, Hilde?”

If you’re the Lady Pope of the Heavenly Demon Church, the state religion of the Heavenly Demon Empire, wouldn’t a landslide be possible?

“Hehehe! Anyway, please think about it!”
“Yeah. Well, I’ll think about it.”

But if you line up 9 people, there would definitely be someone who comes in last.
Thinking about that makes me feel negative.

There’s no way my women would ever come in last.

Anyway.

As we continued to fly at low altitude.

“Kat-nim! There’s another fight over there!!!”
“Ah, goddammit. Are these guys always fighting? What the hell, why are there so many fights?”
“Conflicts will never disappear in the human world. Shall we go take a look!”
“Yeah.”

—Shooook.

And so we landed at the scene again.

“Huk! Heavenly Demon-nim…!”
“And the Lady Pope too…!”
“No way!”

As we made our grand entrance, the people gathered around widened their eyes and knelt down. It looked 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?”

When I asked about it,

“Th, that Heavenly Demon-nim…!”

The chef trembled and took off his hat.

He was bald.

What? Was he planning to use the fact that he was bald to gain my sympathy?

“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 used 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…!”
“Eat without paying?”

This bastard dared to eat without paying?

Still, confirming the facts came first.

“Old man. Is it true that you tried to eat without paying?”
“It is absolutely not true. Great Heavenly Demon-nim.”

As the old man answered calmly, the chef went ballistic.

“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 quiet.”

Then let’s listen.

“Old man. Tell me what happened.”
“I will tell you everything in detail, Heavenly Demon-nim. 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.

“So?”
“So I believed 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. He even guaranteed it and then served me bad food. Therefore, I could not pay, and I was going to leave. But suddenly, the chef got angry, asking why I wouldn’t pay! At first, I tried to resolve it with words, but soon he used 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 ridiculous!”
“In what part?”
“I certainly had that conversation with that old man, but… Plate! Boy! Bring the plate!”

As the chef spoke, a kid who looked like a waiter brought an empty bowl.

“Look! The old man ate all the food I cooked! This 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 he ate it all and then came at the end and said it was bad and wouldn’t pay, that’s a blatant lie!!!”

—Pajik!

The chef was so wronged that a vein popped out on his forehead.

“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 that in the middle!!!!!”

The chef was almost going crazy.

“Heavenly Demon-nim. The chef certainly guaranteed the taste of the food to me, and I ordered the food believing those words. But if it is not delicious, then this is the chef lying to me, and that is a serious insult. Nevertheless, the reason I ate all the food is 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 this crazy old man talking!!!!!”
