Chapter 421 – Summer Resource Tour (6)

“Alright, you lot! Listen up! This here is the Empress of Phoenix, the very person who was kind enough to provide you bastards with jobs here!!”

At the boisterous emcee’s rousing introduction, the roughly one thousand workers raised their deep voices in a roar that could hardly even be called a cheer.

The next morning, as we had arranged beforehand, I went ashore from the ship a little early, before the start of the workday, intending to say a few words to the staff and workers in what was essentially a plaza at the port.

The emcee’s rousing remarks continued, and the excitement in the venue rose even higher, to a level that seemed impossible for such an early hour. They looked ready to start chanting “USA! USA!” at any moment.
