"Miss Ultima, Chief Inspector of the Monster Country Federation!"
"I never expected that Miss Ultima, who is always so impartial, would be so well-loved. It's truly beyond my expectations!"
Rigurd showed a surprised expression, pointing at Ultima's beautiful photo and shouting loudly.
Ultima, in the Chief Inspector's office, couldn't help but pout, saying unhappily:
"Hmph, I'm only twelfth..."
Veron, the General of the Third Army Corps, who was nearby, looked at his former master and gently advised:
"It's already amazing that Miss could make it onto the list, after all, the top ten are all..."
Hearing Veron's words, Ultima's eyes flickered, and she didn't speak.
"Who will be the eleventh? Let's continue to reveal it!"
Rigurd glanced at the name in the next spot, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It was truly beyond his expectations that this person could rank so high.
"Oh my, the next one is actually a child. So, who exactly is she?"
"She is... the Vice President of the Tokiwadai Middle School Student Council in Academy City, and the Vice President of the "Eromanga Sensei" Fan Club."
"The Vice President of the Disciplinary Committee, known as the Chief Local Boss of Academy City, the child Aihara Enju!!!"
"Total votes: 695 million!"
"Let's congratulate the child Enju!!!"
"Wow!!! Enju-chan, it's you!!!"
Haruue Erii looked at Aihara Enju's photo on the screen with an excited expression.
"I never expected Enju-chan to be so popular in the Monster Country Federation!"
Misaka Mikoto looked at Aihara Enju, who was giggling foolishly, with a surprised expression.
"I also didn't expect Enju-chan to have so many titles, but why are they all 'vice' titles?"
"Indeed, I'm very curious who the presidents are..."
"No matter what, being on the list is already super amazing!"
"Hehe, it's not that amazing!!!"
The elderly men and women on the Commercial Street looked at Aihara Enju, who made it onto the list, each revealing a look of relief.
They had put in a lot of effort to get this child on the list.
"I didn't expect Enju's popularity to be so high; I'm even a little surprised."
Zhong Chen sat on a small stool, eating grilled squid, and said to Veldora with a surprised expression.
"That guy Enju is much more famous than you imagine. She is the representative of five million Cursed Children."
"Those who sympathize with the Cursed Children have all cast their votes for Enju."
Veldora explained softly while grilling squid.
"So that's how it is."
"Alright!!! Next up are the highly anticipated top ten. I wonder what changes this ranking will have compared to previous ones?"
"Let's wait and see!"
"The tenth most popular in the Monster Country Federation is Secretarial Chief, Miss Kanae Kocho!!!"
"Total votes: 835 million!"
"As expected, she is indeed the woman who always makes it into the top ten, and this time she has successfully entered again."
"However, her ranking has dropped compared to the previous one!"
"Hmph! My sister clearly could have ranked higher!"
Kochou Shinobu pouted and said to her sister with an unconvinced expression.
"Hehe, Shinobu, it's just a ranking, there's no need to be so serious about it."
"But then won't my sister be outshone by others?"
"Shinobu, I'm already very content to be by A Chen's side; I don't wish to strive for more."
Kanae Kocho gently stroked Kochou Shinobu's head and said softly with a gentle expression.
"Hmph, Sister, you just like to spoil that bad guy."
"Oh, you..."
"Let's get back to the main topic. Who will be ninth? Let me take a look."
"Hahaha, it's him indeed! Lord Rimuru's second secretary, the Captain of the Royal Knights, the Primordial Demon, Sir Diablo!!!"
"Total votes: 836 million!"
"I never expected Sir Diablo to defeat Miss Kanae Kocho this time."
"It seems his active participation in the war against the Eastern Empire brought him a lot of popularity."
"What? Second Secretary!!! I will surpass that hateful woman Shion and become the First Secretary sooner or later!!!"
Diablo, pulling out a small handkerchief from who knows where, bit it tightly with a look of unwillingness.
Shion swung her Goriki Maru, pointing the tip of her blade at Diablo, and shouted proudly:
"Hmph! Diablo, you're still far from surpassing me!"
"Damn it!!!"
Rimuru, who was drinking tea nearby, immediately looked pained.
Sigh, it's starting again. Can't these two just calm down for a bit?
Is the position of First Secretary really that coveted?
"Alright, the eighth place will be revealed soon. Before that, let's insert a commercial break."
"Do you want exquisite figurines? Do you want custom orders? Do you want to be the envy of everyone at a convention?"
"Then please come to [Tamayo's Exquisite Handmade Merchandise]! Here you will find everything you need!"
"Shop address: Commercial Street..."
Zhong Chen looked at the various advertisements constantly appearing on the screen, completely bewildered.
What's going on? The Monster Country Federation is full of advertisements everywhere. How can this be allowed!
"This is too reckless! How dare they advertise so wildly? Yaozai needs to deal with this!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Veldora, who was sprinkling cumin on the griddle, said softly without lifting his head:
"You'd better keep your voice down. You have shares in all these advertising shops. Are you sure you want to deal with them?"
"Of course I want to deal with them!!! How can the advertising fees be so high? Isn't this exploiting the hard-earned money of the common people!"
"Isn't this drinking my... ahem... the Monster Country Federation's blood?"
"This is outrageous, truly preposterous!!!"
Seeing Zhong Chen's indignant expression, Veldora couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Alright, after the commercial break, let's continue to reveal the answer!"
"Eighth place, she is Ms. Testarossa, the Primordial Demon and Foreign Minister, who astounds all nations with her beauty and intimidates them with her martial prowess!!!"
"Total votes: 913 million!"
"Let's congratulate her with a warm round of applause!"
Testarossa, sitting on the sofa and watching Diablo and Shion taunt each other, took a sip of black tea and said with a faint smile:
"Hehe, it's barely acceptable."
Meanwhile, another Primordial Demon's mood wasn't so good.
"Damn it! We're all Primordial Demons, so why have I never made it onto the list?!"
"It must be because Diablo occupies the position of Captain of the Royal Knights."
"Hmph, I'll snatch that position sooner or later!"
Heh, today Miss Carrera is still a loser.
"The next one is quite remarkable; everyone must be familiar with him!"
"He is ranked seventh..."
