Third Annual Yamataikoku Ultimate Queen Tournament

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:

The Third Annual Yamataikoku Queen of Queens Tournament!

Now, let's get this party started!

Wait! Hang on! I didn't catch why this is happening at all!

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.

？！

Well, I didn't mean right NOW, silly.

At any rate, whoever wants to be the next queen of Yamataikoku is gonna have to defeat me first!

Wait. Is that how you became queen in the first place?

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

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

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.

Couldn't you, I don't know, at least base it on who has the strongest MYSTICAL powers?

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

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.

!

I-I don't know about the bragging part, but aside from that, you're right!

Master, I've made up my mind! I'm going to take part in the battle to determine a new queen!

So you're gonna try making Yayoi period memories on a lark!?
