Chapter 90: King Masatsugu’s reconstruction?policies.
Translator: Mr.Nobody
“My king! I have a question about the town’s reconstruction!”
“Oi, don’t cut in line! Get in the line!”
“That line which goes down the stairs? Don’t screw with me! I’m in a hurry! This is an urgent matter about accommodating the citizens who lost their homes from the damage. It’s critical!”
“Idiot! In this line there’s nobody who doesn’t have anything that’s not important! The tax, laws, medical care, housing, public order, flood control, all of them are important!”
“Shit.”
A soldier immediately left the temporary throne room.
As the butler said all of the subjects are important and he’s right.
If there’s only one mistake
“Why do I have to be the King again! Enough, I’m going to abdicate!”
He yelled while signing approvals on the documents.
“We can’t have that, King Masatsugu. Things that are started need to be seen through to the end. For me rather than abdicating, I believe that you sitting on the throne as you are now is ideal.”
A guy smiling said that.
This man was the frontier count who has a feeling of a butler.
I understand that if you want to call him Sebastian due to his looks. Well, he’s that kind of guy.
He’s very excellent, he increased the personnel of the neglected positions where the predecessors stepped down with the King together.
He’s excellent but if you think about it then thanks to that I have to continuously work as a King like this, that talent is unpleasant.
“Now young master, there’s still work to be done. You haven’t decided on the compensation for the lost soldiers.”
“Who’s a young master, I’m the director.”
I said that while drafting the direction all of the political policies.
Adjustment can be done by the subordinates. Even if it’s to decide the direction the ministers can do that. Naturally, if there’s a hard case then the royalty can decide.
Luckily to my previous world’s knowledge I can distinguish this world as the medieval ages. My policies were accepted as ground-breaking and were immediately being implemented.
Well, probably defending the country from the Evil God as a King has brought me authority. My position is literally saviour.
A part of the citizens and subordinates have deified me and the minstrels have created around 1000 sagas.
I could do nothing except frown but I can’t just selfishly interject into it.
Even if I say I’ll arrest those who make songs about praising me they probably still won’t stop.
Also the surrounding countries gave praise to me for my heroism and various strange stories about strengthening alliances.
The diplomatic bureau was the busiest one and they were in fact the most adamant about me not to abdicate the throne.
In the history of the Warm’s Kingdom, there was never a time to secure so much diplomatic power before.
Well, that’s probably right.
Defeating the Evil God’s power with just a lone King is found only in mythology.
Well, I said it wasn’t just my power but the populace prefers easy to understand stories.
My name from now will certainly be left in books and sagas but I can’t help but just frown at it.
“Fortunately for me they don’t know my face.”
That’s right, that’s my only save.
The people that know my face are the people in the castle while the general people and foreign countries don’t.
That’s why even if I abdicate the everyday peace of the Kingdom is set in stone.
“But, it’s almost time for rest.”
“That’s right. It has been work non-stop. How about special Seba’s afternoon tea?”
He proposed a charming proposal.
“I’m fine. There are places I want to go.”
“Aaah… I understand. The ojou-sama’s are lonely so you’ll spend time with them”
He smiled and nodded.
I just sighed and got up from the throne.
“Welcome back, Master!”
Lucia came rushing at me smiling and wagging her tail when she saw me.
Welcome back, even if you say it, we’re just in a room in the castle.
“Were you obedient, girls?”
“Yes, Masatsugu-sama, that’s natural. To say the least, I’m originally a princess.”
That’s what Elin said.
“I was also an obedient girl~ That’s why caress me~”
Shii said that and before I noticed her she was riding on my back.
And Laara laughing Kukuku.
“You are not aware of yourselves as the better half. Like me for example, I’ve prepared a meal for Masatsugu-dono who has returned tired from his business as a King.”
Laara said that and brought out stew.
“Yuck”
My voice escaped instinctively from my mouth.
“Masatsugu-dono your real thoughts got out.”
Laara said that and smiled coquettishly.
A peculiar demon girl with habits of one.
There’s a reason for me groaning, the truth is that Laara’s cooking is unrivaled in being horrible.
Somehow she has this bad habit of putting some secret ingredients and a slightly delicious but strangely exquisite dish comes out.
I was slowly being pushed out of service.
“That gives damage to Masatsugu after all.”
“Amazing, Laara-chan!”
“Hmhm, that’s right. But, I’m also slightly hurt too!”
They care for me in their own way.
“But, please be assured, Master!”
Lucia opened her mouth.
“This time Lucia Ouldklein the 1st in the blood oath has tasted it and supervised.”
I see, if that’s so then I’m relieved. Blood oath has a dangerous sounding name, but since it normally came from Lucia then I don’t care and will just ignore it.
“Certainly I’m a bit hungry. I’ll eat it.”
I sit on a chair and with a spoon I took a mouthful.
And then.
“Guha.”
Just like that I fell fast on the table.
“Please forgive me, Master…”
Next to the bed I was sleeping was Lucia sitting on a chair and apologizing with her ears drooping.
“It’s not particularly your fault, Lucia.”
“No, I did not think that Laara-chan will put her secret ingredient with a spoon… This is a disqualification as a supervisor!”
It can be fully applied as a assassination method.
“From now I’ll be using a silver spoon.”
“?”
I didn’t explain and Lucia tilted her head.
Leaving that aside.
“The goddess cannot come out anymore?”
“Yes.”
Lucia nodded with a serious face.
The good god Ortiz after the battle with Miyamoto she disappeared from Lucia’s body and she left “Certain words.”
“The memories of the time when Ortiz appeared are vague. I wish I could hear more about the Evil God.”
Lucia said it worryingly.
“Worrying about that doesn’t matter.”
“Eh?”
Lucia was confused.
“What the Evil God is doing or whatever happens in the future has no relation to Me as the director of the orphanage. As the director I have to just protect you girls. Lucia’s body having no abnormalities is excellent.”
“Master! You’re worried about me!”
Lucia’s ears were making blip blop movements.
No, I think since I’m the director it’s only natural to care.
And quickly Lucia’s movements stopped.
And then she stared fixated on me and started talking slowly like expecting something.
“Master, the truth is most of my memories from back then are vague but I can remember one thing clearly.”
“Hee, is that so.”
I wonder what it is. I wonder if it’s the memory of the fierce battle.
“I got married to Master!?”
“Buha…”
I fell flat once again.
“That was inevitable since it was needed so that Miyamoto can be defeated.”
“I understand.”
Lucia with an earnest expression.
“There’s no reason for me to be able to be Masatsugu’s wife… That was an abnormal situation so that’s why you married to me?”
“No, yeah, there’s no reason for you not to but…”
“Really!? But..”
“Aah…”
Lucia is exquisitely talkative today.
This Lucia which proactively talks is rare.
I’m wary of what reaches her ears of my words.
“That marriage is just for that time. Basically, it can be said that we’ve returned to the original relationship we had?”
“Hm? Aah, that’s so. But, I feel like it’s inexcusable. Although it was a course of events the fact about me marrying is true. As expected you must…”
“Not at all!”
She loudly interrupted me talking. This is also a rare occurrence.
“Rather it’s a good thing, aa, no, it’s nothing… It wasn’t just course of events, Master. It’s one of that”
Lucia said it while her ears were blip blop and tail wagging.
“It can be said it’s fate.”
She was slightly blushing when she said it.
Is that so?
I can’t differ it much from the course of events though…
Then it’s fine since it has pardon from Lucia.
“Ah, however.”
Ah, Lucia continued speaking.
As I thought there’s something she’s worried about.
“I’ve divorced once.”
I was dumbfounded.
Once divorce?
“Yes, that’s right. In the battle of the Gods there is no falsehood in there then that marriage happening there is the truth.”
“Well, is that so. Since it was temporary, you can leave it at it as if it never happened…”
“It was a marriage before God.”
“That’s true.”
We married ourselves in front of the two gods that vie over this world.
Basically, it’s undoubtedly and genuine in its meaning of “Marriage before God.”
One of them is the Evil God though…
“That’s why…”
Lucia while purring.
“I don’t think anyone will accept the me who has become a divorcee…”
“Aah”
Such circumstances are probably the same in this world too.
No, maybe because it is a different world that this is difficult.
Now that she said it it certainly feels like it.
Did I perhaps did a terrible thing…
“Basically, Master. There’s nobody in this world other than Master who’s able to accept responsibility!”
“He?”
“That’s why Master once again with Lucia…”
At the time Lucia was talking.
“Premises search!”
“You’ve violated the treaty of no stealing a march, Lucia-chan.”
“Take her away!”
Lucia was taken away while screaming Kyaaa.
“What was that?”
I don’t understand it well.
I’ll leave it as not understand it well.
I feel like I’ve been saved from something.
Let’s think about Lucia seriously some other time.
Also there are other things to think about.
“That guy Whikram didn’t appear even to the end.”
