The makeshift troupe in Yinbin City

“There are people from all walks of life, aren’t there?

Cooks, farmers, security guards, cleaners, repairmen, office workers, students, soldiers, special agents…”

Laying her legs on the coffee table, Kim Erise leaned back on the living room sofa, lazily flipping through the questionnaires filled out by the entire Communist Party members from yesterday, constantly chewing on her lollipop.

‘Well, I suppose it makes sense.’

The Communist Party’s manifesto was to pursue true equality and harmonious coexistence between magical girls and humans.

As long as you agreed with that, you could join and become a member, without any extra requirements.

Although many of the professions were ordinary, in this initial phase with few people, she still had to make the best use of everyone and let them bring out their value beyond their own, to have any hope of saving Silver Shore City from this hellish start.

Thinking of this, the red-haired girl tossed the files onto the coffee table, then opened her headset and began typing rapidly on the holographic panel that popped up.

She had so many thoughts in her head, but if she only kept thinking, it would only get messier, like tugging at a tangled headset cord, so she might as well write them down to organize her thoughts.

Before seeking more help, let’s first determine the general direction.

Firstly, what she needed most at this stage was a leadership team to serve as heads of various departments, to assist her, in her capacity as the brain of Silver Shore City, in making all sorts of macro-level decisions.

She was the mayor, yes, but relying on her alone to manage a city of sixty million people facing all sorts of crises was a pipe dream. She would not have enough hours in the day.

This leadership team could not be just anyone either.

First, they must agree with the Communist Party’s ideals.

They didn’t need to be saints, nor did they need to have any feelings of compassion willing to dedicate everything to a future of equality and harmony between humans and magical girls, but they must at least agree with this idea and not discriminate, otherwise, it would lose the original intention of running the city.

Second, their abilities must be sufficient.

They did not have to be extremely outstanding. After three years of war, many talents were definitely lost, but at least they had to ensure they did not drag the team down.

They had to know what they were doing and how they should do it, rather than acting like a foolish ruler and coming up with some perverse and counterproductive policies—of course, she would choose the most capable person as the head of the department, nothing more to say.

Lastly, they shouldn’t be greedy for money.

The precious resources used to rebuild Silver Shore City must not be wasted on private embezzlement and corruption—of course, those who work more would get more, and they would be given enough money to the greatest extent to eliminate the worries of life, so that they could live comfortably in this chaotic world.

As for loyalty or something, it wasn’t even in Kim Erise’s consideration.

She was here to run Silver Shore City well, not to cultivate influence.

If someone had the ambition to take her place as mayor in the future, as long as the other party had enough ability, she would be happy to throw off such a heavy burden and return to her small house to resume a retired life of playing games, watching TV, watching anime, and reading comics all day long.

In short, let’s first structure the various departments that manage Silver Shore City.

The first department to be established, the Ministry of Agriculture, deservedly.

Mhm, managing the food production within Silver Shore City, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that everyone in the city could fill their stomachs and not starve to death on the streets or take risks as thieves or robbers.

Fortunately, Kim Erise had a World Food Prize winner on hand, so it was only natural for Anjeong-zhou to become the Minister of Agriculture – and she had already decided on this appointment after meeting him yesterday.

If even that man wasn’t suitable to be the Minister of Agriculture, then nobody would be qualified.

Anjete could also be put in the Ministry of Agriculture to learn and help, which would also help to ease the relationship between her and her father – of course, she wouldn’t force it; it was entirely up to her if she was willing.

However, both she and Xiaoyu were still sound asleep, making up for the exhaustion of staying up all night yesterday, so she would ask them later when they woke up.

The second department was the Department of Water Resources, no doubt.

Responsible for the production of freshwater resources, it was as important as the Ministry of Agriculture, or even surpassed the latter in some respects – after all, a person could live for three weeks without eating, but only three days at most without drinking water.

Not to mention that water had many other uses besides drinking.

Silver Shore City was located on a peninsula, but the surroundings were all seawater, which had to be desalinated before it could be used.

The red-haired girl knew nothing about that, and no one in the Communist Party seemed to know either, and she didn’t know where to buy the relevant equipment and talent.

But she knew that some magical girls fought with water and ice as weapons, and that water, although not natural, was pure enough, containing only a small amount of microorganisms and could be drunk after simple filtration and boiling.

So, it was enough to recruit some of these magical girls and then choose the most outstanding one to be the minister.

The third department had to be the Department of Health.

Cleaning the streets, processing garbage, recycling sewage, controlling diseases, building toilets, repairing pipes—this department did all the dirtiest and most tiring jobs.

As expected, no magical girl would want to join this department.

From the current situation, Eun-byeol, the most suitable person to be the minister, was among the only one hundred or so surviving people of the Communist Party.

She was the only doctor, and although she was a surgeon, she actually only needed to establish a medical skills manual and popularize medical knowledge for ordinary people.

Then leave the work that has nothing to do with doctors, like sweeping the streets, collecting garbage, and repairing the sewer pipes to the subordinates—these things don’t need any qualifications.

Even a dog could do the job in a week of training and finish the tasks neatly.

Oh yes, she had swept up so many medicines in the Kongsu Hospital before, and they were still in the little white balls, she had almost forgotten about it.

When they arrived at Silver Shore City, she would hand them over to Eun-byeol.

Then find some magical girls with healing abilities to deal with various injuries, and leave the intractable diseases that cannot be cured by magic to human doctors—it was perfect.

The fourth department could only be the Department of Security.

Dedicated to cleaning up all kinds of crimes in the city, from petty theft to gang transactions, they all had to be eliminated, not a single one left.

At the same time, they also had to be responsible for defending Silver Shore City and resisting potential external invasions.

Especially in the case of a complete loss of control, when a second full-scale war between magical girls and humans broke out—the possibility was currently not high, but it must be guarded against.

No one was more suitable for this position than Mo.

After all, her combat power was one of the peaks of magical girls, as everyone could see in the war, so even if there were magical girls in the gangs, she could easily complete her mission.

No.

She could not let Mo be the minister.

The red-haired girl narrowed her eyes and then shook her head.

The silver-haired girl’s combat power was indeed terrifyingly strong, but the minister was actually dealing with all kinds of documents rather than criminals – which was precisely the part that Mo was not good at.

She flipped through the files in her hand, her gaze lingering on the questionnaire filled out by one of the Communist Party members:

“Emun, twenty years old, from a military academy, had received the first generation of cyborg surgery and achieved partial success, and was once a top special forces soldier of Keibury.

After the war, he left Keibury because of disagreements and joined the Communist Party.”

This was one of the few members of the Communist Party who made Kim Erise’s eyes light up – she had even met and greeted him at a party before, and that face missing an arm but still full of spirit had left a deep impression on her.

Oh, extremely, Emun could not be called a human, but a cyborg—a half-machine human.

Thinking of the attitude of humans towards magical girls before the war, the red-haired girl probably understood why the other party chose to break with Keibury, the world’s largest military contractor.

Of course, it was just a guess.

Although the xenophobic shortcomings of humans were extremely disgusting, it was not necessarily the whole reason.

In any case, this Emun was definitely the best candidate to be the Minister of Security – Kim Erise herself had witnessed the learning and analytical abilities of a cyborg.

Although it was not the first generation but the second generation, it would not be that bad either.

However, with just one cyborg, it was easy and pleasant to deal with humans, but it was far from enough to deal with magical girls.

As the Minister of Security, it seemed to lack some deterrent power, so she must have a magical girl as a deputy minister to work with him.

Who was the best candidate? That’s right, it was Mo.

The minister mainly dealt with documents and decision-making, while the deputy minister served as a deterrent and assistant. It was perfect to work with the two of them together.

Eh, right?

Kim Erise’s eyes rolled as she wrote this, and she immediately thought of a brilliant idea:

The positions of minister and deputy minister of all departments in Silver Shore City, one for humans and one for magical girls, could it be just a good material to promote my city?

“Look, we have already achieved peace and coexistence between magical girls and humans at the leadership level! What are you all still fighting about? Come and join us!”

This way, not only could it greatly attract talent from abroad, but it could also better serve as a representative to show the world a future full of light and hope, thereby further reducing the possibility of a second full-scale war, and even completely ending the current Cold War between the United Nations and the Autonomous Federation!

As for cyborgs—cough cough, as long as it wasn’t made public, the other party looked no different from humans anyway.

Beep beep beep…

A sudden communication request interrupted the red-haired girl, who was enthusiastically imagining the future.

She was stunned when she saw the identity of the person on the other side:

The Mayor of Pacha City, Deputy Governor Chaska, a direct subordinate of the flat-chested Kosiya, Tomnei.

– “Hello, Kim Erise, I heard that you designated Anjeong-zhou as the Minister of Agriculture of Silver Shore City?”

– “Whoa, your news is really fast…”

Kim Erise hadn’t finished exclaiming when she was choked by the reply on the other side, and even bit off the lollipop stick directly.

– “I’m sorry, Anjeong-zhou can’t leave Chaska with you.”
