Okami Wa Nemuranai - Chapter 52.5

As a princess that could not wield magic, Princess Daphne’s only value to her kingdom was her arranged marriage. The task was simple, but when Daphne gets kidnapped and brought to the cold mountains of Vramid, she realizes that she’s in over her head.

She had heard of these cursed mountains before― rocky terrain, freezing temperatures, and the land was ruled by a man feared by many within the continent.

King Atticus Heinvres, the blood-thirsty ruler of the North.

Even though she had never met him before, tales were spread of King Atticus’s ruthlessness. Some said he was a monster, others claimed he was the devil himself, but whatever the story was, everyone knew of the man who had powers beyond anyone’s imagination. He could topple armies and crumble nations with just one wave of his hand, aided by what others rumored to be a cursed obsidian ring.

No one outside of Vramid had ever met the fearsome king before. Not until Daphne.

However, upon meeting the formidable man, Daphne found out that the king might not really be the monster others had claimed him to be.

In fact, what was hidden under that obsidian shield could just be a diamond in the rough.

“Now… where should I put you both?” he asked casually, not expecting a reply. “It’s regretful that I only have one chandelier.”

“Underneath my bed? No, no, too dirty. My dust bunnies don’t deserve this,” Atticus mused to himself. “The mantlepiece? How about the vanity table? I suppose if I lop off one of your heads I could mount it over… Wife, which head do you want to stare at while you do your hair?”

“Atticus!” Daphne screamed. “I don’t want any heads! Let them go.”

“Fair enough.” Atticus shrugged, and flicked his fingers.

There were two identical cracks as both necks snapped at once.

Daphne gasped, horrified. This man, her husband, had just killed two men with a flick of his finger, as though he was snuffing out candles.

“I told you to let them go!” Daphne cried out.

“Yes, I let them go,” Atticus said. Then, his eyes darkened. “To receive divine judgment from the heavens.”

As the first Bai Yueguang of the police academy, Matsuda returned to the past after dying once and bound the [Wish System] to try to save his young taming.
The ability of the [Wish System] is one-for-one, and the wishes of the “viewers” are realized through live broadcast until enough to achieve the wish to save the life of the tame.
Matsuda accepted the quid pro quo, and received his first wish on the first day he returned to the past.

Audience 1: [Please beat the police chief! ! ! 】
Matsuda: … a bit too much, right?
Audience 2: [Please give the Superintendent of Police a hug! ! 】
Matsuda: Okay, I’ll beat him up right now.
Audience 3: [Wearing a floral shirt and smoking and drinking in front of the police chief! 】
Matsuda: You just can’t get past the police chief, right?
Audience 4: [Please give each of your future colleagues a true love letter and confession! 】
Matsuda: You guys should continue fighting with the police chief…!

Matsuda fell into silence as he looked at the increasingly outrageous wish. Are these people planning to realize their wish, or are they planning to let our company die?
But in order to save the young tamer, Matsuda gritted his teeth and did it all over the place.
As a result, Matsuda became a unique legend in the history of the police academy.
Hagihara: I know Kojinpei is quite unruly, but…he wasn’t like this before, was he?
Matsuda: …Who do you think I am for? ?
After waiting for the death of the young tamer to pass, Matsuda immediately found out that his other two friends were also dying.
Matsuda showed a peaceful smile: If you love to die, die, I quit! (lifts the table)
