"If you vote for me, I promise to bring change to this village. You'll no longer ride horses; instead, you'll soar through the skies on the backs of eagles and tigers. This village will become tax-free, and its alleyways will shine with gold."
He paused, surveying the crowd before continuing, "If you elect me as your Shojo, I vow to transform this village into the most prominent one on the continent. Poverty will cease to exist within a week of my inauguration. Your children will never face unemployment after graduation. I'll provide jobs for the jobless and husbands for the husbandless. I swear to revolutionize this village, turning it into a utopia."
The crowd, wearing worn kimonos and yukatas, erupted into cheers. Despite generations of disappointment with their previous leader, they saw a promising future with Shinji.
However, Shinji had another vision altogether.
With a sly smile, Shinji took a swig of sake, spitting it at the crowd.
