@Himiko
And that's why I've decided to hold this miraculous contest between prognosticators old and new, and those with other odd but powerful abilities:

@Himiko

@Himiko

Oh, I just figured, now that Iyo's gone too, it'd be a good idea to look for a new queen while I can.
[k]

?1:But didn't you say Yamataikoku wouldn't[csr]need prophecies anymore?

?2:But I thought Yamataikoku didn't need a queen anymore?

?!

[charaFace A 6]
@Himiko
Well, I didn't mean right NOW, silly.
[k]

[charaFace A 2]
@Himiko
At any rate, whoever wants to be the next queen of Yamataikoku is gonna have to defeat me first!

Well sure. Isn't that how leaders are chosen in[sr][&Futuro:Futura]'s time, too? You just punch whoever else[sr]wants the throne until they give up?

Couldn't tell you, seeing how I'm a born daimyo.

[charaFace D 13]
@Nobbu
But anyway, is letting whoever's strongest rule really the best way to pick a queen!?

What Nobbu said. Nobody wants to see a kingdom where only might makes right.

[charaFace C 5]
@Okita Souji
Couldn't you, I don't know, at least base it on who has the strongest MYSTICAL powers?

@Himiko
Well, that sort of thing does come into play when selecting candidates, but right now, things still pretty much come down to physical strength.
[k]

[charaFace A 6]
@Himiko
Especially since leaders here need to be able to fight off deadly monsters at a moment's notice.

Wanna give it a shot, Mash? It'll give you something to brag about after you get back to Chaldea, hehe.
