93-Episode 12: Did The Empress Have You?
'Not yet!?You still can't bring Arel back with you!
At the back of the luxurious room.
There was a figure perched on a throne studded with gold and silver jewels, screaming loudly.
Partly because of the size of the throne, but also because of her small stature, not even reaching the height of fourteen centimeters, she looked like a white-skinned girl playing.
However, she is the founder and the pinnacle of this continent's most powerful new nation, the Imperial State.
She was the queen herself.
I'm sorry, sir. It seems that she refuses to come with us.
Then you will bring him here by force!
'Of course I already have...!?And yet, in spite of the fact that three of the eight imperial generals are doing everything they can, for some reason or another, they have all failed...
'No excuses!?If the three generals can't make it, just send them all over!
But that doesn't leave much room for the castle.
'You don't have to worry about that!?You can't make it up to me!
Yes.....
Her subjects were trembling with fear in the face of a woman who looked as if she was about to poke the world with her hair.
And that's when it happened.
"Oh, my God!
One soldier rushes into the throne room in a hurry.
'A young man calling himself Arel is in the castle...!
Hearing her name, the Empress jumped up and down on her throne.
''You're finally here!''
The anger he had felt earlier receded as if it were a lie, and his eyes shone like a child's.
''But, but somehow, alone and forcibly breaking into the castle--''
D'oh!
Before the soldier could finish, the door had been opened with a terrific roar.
And on the other side of that door was the very person the Empress had been waiting for.
''Alleluia!?I've missed you!
The female emperor runs up to her at a glance.
But in the next moment, the sole of her foot was slammed into her face.
''Gubey!''
""Your Majesty!"
The subjects screamed.
The young man exhaled in dismay as he stared with cold eyes at the female emperor who was rolling around on the carpet in circles.
'I knew it was you, sister.
? ? ?
My sister, who is dressed in luxurious clothes that are disproportionate to her tiny body, rolls over as she receives my leg kick.
''Buh-heh,''
Finally, he banged his head against the throne and cried out like a crushed frog.
''Your Majesty!''
While those who seemed to be under her command rushed over to her, the sister got up with a whimper and
"What are you doing, Arel??It's been so long since we've seen each other, and now you're suddenly kicking your sister's ass!
She complains with tears in her eyes.
'It doesn't matter, you're the one who sent them a bunch of confusing people, right?
I kicked your sister in the face and you did that?
I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't scream at me for getting kicked in the face.
After all, I'm the source of the people who were chasing me around.
But my sister, who left my parents' house a few years ago, I didn't know she was doing this.
''Hmmm!?Isn't it great!?Your sister is the king of this country now!
My sister is not a smug chest-pounder.
She's still flat as ever.
It's not as if she hadn't grown up, and it seems that she didn't grow up either.
''Heh, your majesty, please wait........sis, that means that.......''
Then a subordinate interrupts and asks fearfully, "Is that you, Your Majesty's brother?
"Is that man, His Majesty's brother, by any chance...?
She just stared blankly for a moment.
Hm??Didn't I tell you that?
The people present shouted in unison.
''We're not listening!''
They sloppily dripped sweat from their foreheads and shuddered, ''Oh no.......I didn't know it was His Majesty's younger brother, and he was trying to force me to kidnap me.......'' ''Please tell me first........
''It doesn't matter, Arel!?It took a lot of work to build a country from scratch and make it this big, sister!?It's taken nearly a decade!
Rather, expanding their power to this extent from the founding of the country is something that would be impossible to do in ten years.
It's probably because your sister's occupation is the [Highest Rank] of the [Empress] that she was able to pull off this trick.
Come to think of it, it wouldn't have been surprising if she had realized earlier that the Emperor was the sister.
But the fact that she is respected and called the "Emperor of Japan" is so far removed from her sister's image that it was difficult to make a connection between the two.
'I worked hard for you!?And you didn't even tell me where you were, you motherf*cker!?That's why I've been looking around for you people!
Her sister says with a snort.
'But now we can finally make good on our promise!
"Promise?
'I told you!?My sister said she would make sure to create a world where Arel could live without any problems!
Come to think of it, I've been licking my chops about that.
'This country will never discriminate against anyone in any profession!?On the contrary, they treat you equally in every way possible!?There is no difference between rich and poor!?No difference in property!?It's a wonderful country where everyone, capable or not, can live equally!
They say that even if you don't work, you are guaranteed everything you need for food, clothing, and shelter.
On the other hand, it seems that no matter how much you work and achieve great results, your income is the same as everyone else's.
'....If you do that, will anyone do anything?
'Don't worry about it!?If you use your sister's Heavenly Fate skill, the Emperor, she'll do all the work for me, even if there's no physical reward.
I see, those Eight Imperial Generals were desperate to catch me too.
I heard their wages are the same as regular soldiers.
Arelal!?This is your utopia!?So from now on, I'm going to live here with my sister for the rest of my life!
My sister confidently invites me to join her.
I said flatly.
'No.'
