1915: Princess Feng Wu Should Be the One

Princess Feng Wu Should Be the One

"There. You'll be the captain."1

Whoosh —

After those words, a bright beam of light shone down from above onto Ranmil.

A shiny headband appeared on her forehead, and the words on it read: Chosen Captain.

Already? That was so quick!

The others looked from the Black Robe Ghost King to Ranmil.

The ghost king found the scared looks on their faces most amusing. He guffawed and said, "It's your game from now on. Kids, have fun!"

With a whoosh, the giant face on the ceiling disappeared.

The hall also lit up.

Everyone could see each other's faces now.

"Sister —"

Sefiro was the first to react.

Before Ranmil could say a word, Sefiro rushed to her side, took her hand, and said excitedly, "Sister! Sister! Congratulations! I knew it! You're the most outstanding one of them all, you deserve to be made the captain! I guessed right!"

Sefiro held Ranmil's hand and winked at her. "I'm your own sister. You'll pick me, right?"

When there were outsiders around, the two sisters looked like best friends, but they both knew what the other really was like.

Sefiro was sure that if Ranmil still wanted to look like the pure and kind princess that she pretended to be, she had to choose her.

As expected —

Ranmil said shyly, "Why am I the captain? I don't know anything…"

Everyone now realized what had happened.

Ranmil was the captain now!

The Black Robe Ghost King had said that the captain would be the one to decide who would be in the team!

And now, it was time to fawn on the princess!

Feng Liu was the first one to reach Ranmil, and she said, "Princess, please pick me! I've always been on your side! I promise that I'll do well!"

Before Ranmil could reply, Dugu Yamo was there as well.

"Princess, princess, please pick me! I'll give you anything you want! Please pick me!"

…

Immediately, nearly all of them surrounded Ranmil and pleaded.

Ranmil looked shy, and she waved her hands. "I - I shouldn't be the captain. I'm not worthy enough."

Feng Liu said, "Why shouldn't you be? You're the prettiest, kindest, and most lovely girl of us all!"

Dugu Yamo said, "That's right. Not only that, you're also the most capable one of us all. Didn't the ghost king say it just then? You single-handedly saved us all."

"No, no… It's not like that." Ranmil waved her hands. "It shouldn't be me… I should give the role of captain away…"

Give it away?

Feng Liu and Dugu Yamo's eyes lit up.

"Princess, who do you want to give it to?"

Ranmil looked gingerly at Feng Wu and smiled wryly. "Princess Feng Wu should be the one…"
