I Was Reincarnated Chapter 66

Certain Worries

Since the surrounding countries started warring, some time has pa.s.sed

It seems they've finally reached the conclusion

For the time being, the one who won is Kieshye

The country that put their strength into [training their] magicians, the country of that annoying king called Doyle or some such

Gudoudotelia losing was, as expected, probably because that knight wasn't there

Even such a guy was well liked as a governor it seems

When the figure of the guy like that disappeared all at once the morale probably fell

As a result, it ended with the second strongest country Kieshye winning

However, as for Veiden trading with Kieshye, I haven't said a single word about it

The humans have diminished significantly, moreover the beastmen, elves, and spirits involved in the war effort were not few

In reality during the human's war, the demons didn't decrease at all

The overall world schema ended up changing a bit

Of the original number of people, nearly half died, the races except for humans were nearly led to extinction

It could even be said that only the guys let into my country exist as remaining survivors

Everyone in Veiden knows about the surrounding war, but since I didn't tell them about the exact circ.u.mstances they probably have no way of knowing about it

Knowing about these circ.u.mstances, is probably only Dea who was shown for historical purposes [teaching it as history later]

I have no intention of telling other guys

That knight also wants to know the war situation, but I'm not required to tell him

Even if I told him, there's nothing he can do after all

(For now, shall I head to Kieshye)

Every country has ended up transformed

The towns have declined and stores have closed down

Although I don't think anything of seeing other people's blood and corpses, but every else would probably be frightened

Even Dea goes pale, there are even times he throws up

Corpses lying around everywhere is no good so I make tombs, but there seems to be not much meaning to it

Since there's the stench of blood lingering I use cleanup, but even though both the smell and the blood disappear, corpses soon come out again

Still I don't go out everyday, after a short while the putrid smell of corpses also fills the air

That stench is as stinky as you'd expect

That stench of bodies rotting, even I have to pinch my nose

"Demon G.o.d-sama"

Kieshye's king who looks to have become somewhat thin

"It seems your meaningless war's over"

When I call out, voices sounding like screams came from the guys in the surroundings

"This time's war, no matter which country, we all took a hard blow. Kieshye also ended up with a lot of war casualties"

The king seemed somewhat exhausted

Even this annoying guy ended up like this post-war……..

Though that knight was in utter despair

"You guys want magic stones that much? However, Veiden hasn't yet grown to the point we can do foreign trade. Diplomatic relations come first"

We have to open the country

We also need to make stores

Rona is looking forward to that

There are still guys that are afraid of humans, but I intended to have diplomatic relations from the beginning

Objections will not be noted

"Diplomatic relations……? That, will be open to all countries?"

"For the time being, that's what I intend. For now, we'll start with testing out diplomatic relations with Kieshye though"

With this even if they have any complaints, then they'll have to consider various things

Since it's troublesome, I'd rather nothing happened though

"We can go into the demon G.o.d's country!? Then without delay, I……"

"I haven't said anything about immediately having diplomatic relations right now though"

What, to already want to come, this guy

Even though I haven't informed everyone yet

"As soon as things are prepared, I'll come here to invite you. If anything is done to the people in Veiden, I will give the appropriate punishment"

Probably, it'll be the death penalty though

On top of that, diplomatic relations will be cut off with that country

It's not like I really need to do it [diplomacy] with them no matter what anyway

Rather, it's mostly for Rona's sake

It seems he quite likes cooking

Even now he pales as a magician even though his magic power has grown

Cooking using the recipes that I taught him, he's in high spirits

That part of him is like a kid, cute

At Rune's birthday when he turned 23, we made a cake together

It was Rona who was overjoyed and on the contrary Rune was the one who sulked, jealous

Since I told him his birthday was the one day he I would accept his selfishness, it can't be helped

After making the cake, I spent the entire time together with Rune and his mood quickly improved

Rune was the same as ever, tightly clinging to me

Although I want to spoil him, I also want him to be jealous

While there are times I want to dote on him there are also times I want to push him away

Even though I say push away, it's not like I'll completely release him though

I just mean the times when I want to hurt his feelings and make him cry

Am I acc.u.mulating stress?

I want to punch someone with all my strength

As expected, it's that G.o.d

If it's that guy, even if I hit him he probably won't die

Even if I kill a demon king, no one would blame me, but you know, those guys have blue blood

If I hit them, those guys' blood will burst out

I can use cleanup, but as expected I don't want to touch it for even a moment

It feels disgusting

"When can we enter the country?"

"I said I would invite you later, you know? Wait until then"

Do you really want to go to Veiden that much?

There's not anything there yet, even though there is a place for the stores to be opened from now on

Currently, it's nothing but fields and animal husbandry though

Other than that there's the park that has the playground equipment for those kids and the water fountain in the plaza that's about all

Besides that there's just the school and homes

I have to increase the guys with stores

I also have to make place people [visiting] can stay at I guess

Well, I can do it easily though

"From now on I will make preparations to receive you. You too,  pick out the guys who'll come. If they lay a hand on Veiden's people or things I will carry out the death penalty on them"

I can only yield that much

I have to do at least that much since there are so many guys who fear humans

Well, rather than the guys in the country, my things get priority though

So, aside from Haju who fears humans, Rona who wants to treat others to his cooking is more important

"There are guys who walk around wearing magic stones, but it'd be better not to have wicked intentions since their divine protection isn't so weak after all, and you will have your arm blown off"

Like previously, those that approach will disappear without a sc.r.a.p of flesh remaining, however the surrounding guys become frightened

Veiden is almost nothing but young guys

There are also a lot of kids

Since I mostly gathered guys from slave shops or orphans, at any rate the average age is young

So the school became quite huge

Since adults are also attending, to say that obviously it would be huge is obvious

The person with the oldest appearance would be Dea

Going by age, the oldest person would be the spirit I bought to work as a teacher

The guys in the slave shops are the remainder left after the old are killed after all

The spirits according to their amount of magic power will be handled by a slave shop up to around 350 years old it seems though

"Ah—…..how troublesome"

"….Demon G.o.d-sama?"

Ah, it slipped out

Though I don't think it [being heard is an issue or anything like that

Still, I'm already used to being called 'demon G.o.d' and such

Since before, I didn't care about the surroundings judgement or impression [of me]

Do I have no spirit of cooperation?

Such a thing, was always written on my report card since primary school

I also don't like acting in a group

……even if I say so myself, I did well to make a country

I only thought to make a country easy for those guys to live in, but my initial objective of excluding humans ended up off point

Even without being human, I realized there would be unpleasant guys

However, for me that becomes nothing more than a trivial problem if I try

It got boring

Somehow, won't something absurdly huge happen?

I think that peace is most important, but nothing ever happens

War?

It has nothing to do with me

I have free time with nothing to do

Once I start diplomatic relations I wonder how I'll even sleep, though for the time being I intend to remain awake

How to say, as soon as they come here I feel like it'll get to be troublesome

Someone else, won't you take responsibility?

I, is it fine for me to leave Baren? [TN: the entire continent]

Though I don't know whether there's anything around here

Just the sea?

It seems I must once again look up the information

Would it be fine for me to make a country outside Baren?

If there's a land with living things then I would like to try seeing them

In other words, I'm tired of others thinking of me as a 'good demon G.o.d'

Compared to doing whatever I like, there's a lot I need to protect

In the end I even went so far as to create a country

I originally was not a good person

Occasionally such [not good person] parts would come out, but since it would scare Rune and the others so I held it in… Even up to this

Rune and Rau would completely cry

Although their teary faces are cute too, it's not like I want them to be so scared of me they get some trauma

So I must restrain myself

Is there no incident where I can rage completely and let it all out?

If I had partic.i.p.ated in the war, there would probably be nothing left, so I didn't partic.i.p.ate

The demon G.o.d's power is too overwhelming

If I can't let off some steam, it's quite boring

The only thing I can do now to relieve my stress is doing it [with Rune]

Though it seems quite difficult for Rune who I join with

Would it be better for me to get another of this sort of partner?
