CHAPTER 321: CHAPTER 184: BECOME A MANAGER, DEMON KING!

To become the Saintess of Fata, one must possess strength, background, looks, and consider various other factors.

Among these, popularity is an important factor.

The level of popularity represents the traffic a Magical Girl can drive, and in some respects, symbolizes the Magical Girl’s public appeal and her ability to generate revenue for Fata.

Only when everyone cares about the Saintess does her existence influence the masses.

Therefore, a Magical Girl with only strong powers cannot become Fata’s Saintess; she also needs to possess extraordinary popularity.

Now, after being away from Fata for over two months, upon returning, Saili discovered her popularity had plummeted—from initially holding the top spot—directly down to 7th place.

Nowadays, those Magical Girls who rank high on the popularity list even have helpers to specially boost their ratings and gain popularity.

The Magical Girl who always kept the top spot with a laid-back attitude now senses a severe crisis.

If this continues, the Saintess’s position will be jeopardized.

"That’s how it is. If the popularity list keeps dropping like this, I might have nothing to do with becoming the Saintess... I never figured out ways to boost my popularity, and I don’t really have friends around."

The Magical Girl, who almost never asked for help in her 19 years of life, spoke softly, her eyes looking a bit embarrassedly towards Shami.

"So, I want you to go to Fata and see if you can think of a way to help me regain my popularity rank."

"Oh, so it’s to act as your agent? Arranging some advertising promotion activities, planning events, increasing appearances in various venues, and stuff like that?"

Shami suddenly understood.

"I don’t quite know about that..."

Having always remained in the top ranks on the popularity list, the Magical Girl never really paid attention to the issue of her own popularity, now she finds herself in an unprecedented popularity crisis.

"If my popularity isn’t enough, it’ll greatly affect the selection of the Saintess. The time for the Saintess selection is also approaching..."

The Magical Girl said softly, suddenly staring determinedly at Shami.

"Shami, you wouldn’t want me to lose the title of Fatata Saintess, right? Having a Saintess Mage in your camp is quite different from an ordinary Mage."

"Why suddenly threaten me!"

"Because we are already in a contract relationship, aren’t we supposed to be helping each other?"

The Magical Girl’s small face flushed with a faint, hard-to-detect blush.

Ah, Saili, actually saying such things to put hope on the Demon King, have you completely fallen into darkness...

Shami fell into thought.

Becoming the Saintess of Fata means that the Magical Girl can control more of Fata’s resources in the future, and even become the future master of Fata.

Directly controlling Fata from within?

Just thinking about it, you can sense it’s a shockingly evil plan.

Shami looked determinedly at the Magical Girl.

"Don’t worry, the Saintess of Fata will definitely be someone from our demon clan!"

"Sounds kind of weird when you say it, but you’re willing to help, right?"

"Of course. Absolutely. But, I have to handle the magical creatures here first, then I can go to Saint Karno City."

Shami and the Magical Girl discussed a time.

"Then I’ll head back first. I’ll wait for you at Fata, Shami."

The Magical Girl waved her hand, using the Flying Demon King to teleport back to Fata via the public Teleportation Gate in the nearest town.

The Teleportation Gate given by Shami had other uses.

——

Shami put the plan to [Assist the Magical Girl in reclaiming the top spot on the popularity list at Fata] on her agenda.

Due to the Teleportation Gate, she’s not too worried about the situation in Yili Village.

But still needs to settle things here before setting off with peace of mind.

First is the Wisteria Tree Spirit.

[Going on a long journey again... This time it’s to Saint Karno City... Heard the housing prices there are very high... But the environment is good... Many Tree Spirits who go there don’t want to come back... Since it’s to help the Magical Girl... I can understand... Care for the old empty-nest trees... Don’t let waiting become regret... Go... Revitalize the demon clan well, Shami... No need to miss me ahem...]

"Isn’t there a bit of complex emotion mixed in there?"

Shami couldn’t help frowning.

Why does he now even have to do psychological counseling with this Old Tree Spirit?

Shami walked forward, patted the Wisteria Tree Spirit, and poured a few bottles of Water of Life from his Demon King Ring onto the tree’s roots.

The Wisteria Tree Spirit appeared much more spirited.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon."

——

The second magical creature is the Slime.

After the Slime’s numbers grew to around 500, the Maple Forest Clearing couldn’t accommodate such a large number of Slimes.

Shami had the Slime Tribe divide, leaving the lower-level Slimes in the Maple Forest Clearing to develop.

While Jelly and some mature Slimes above level 30 would move to a small forest ten kilometers away from the Maple Forest Clearing to station themselves.

As soon as Shami arrived at this small forest, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of Slimes.

Jelly hopped over to Shami’s side, rubbing against him vigorously, completely unaware it was already a four-meter-tall Slime, incredibly heavy.

Shami had to exert strength to stabilize his balance, lest Jelly make him stumble.

"Okay, okay, you can’t come out this time. But it’s time to train the Slime Squad around you, isn’t it? Although you’ve played an important role in attacking the Rebel Minotaur Tribe, you still need to keep working hard."
