I Was Reincarnated Chapter 70

Full-scale Preparation

The guys from Kieshye returned like that without doing anything to Veiden's things

Without violating anything and also writing a contract, with this if anything happens I can attack without blame

Though even if I'm blamed it doesn't really none bother me, but for the time being it was symbolically agreed on

When full-blown diplomatic relations started, it meant that the guys from Kieshye would be allowed to enter Veiden

Creating the barrier I can manage it [the barrier], but guys who lie about being citizens of Kieshye to gain entry to the country will also probably come out

There are also a lot of guys without divine protection in the country

They must also be prepared to meet dangerous situations

Well, if such a thing happens in this country, I don't intend to let it end with just the perpetrator's death though

Since that would be like them picking a fight with me, so to speak

It would be troublesome so I won't be fighting them one by one, but if they lay a hand on my country's guys then it's a different story

Matching the t.i.tles I'm being called, something like the G.o.d of catastrophe or the G.o.d of evil demons, I'll let loose completely

Although I said there was only the death penalty for the kings, they probably know the concept of collective responsibility

It should also be fine to let them live a life, without simply killing them, where they would think that death would be preferable though……..

Since the opponent would die if I just hit them, it's a bit difficult

Well, letting loose according to how I feel at that time…….rather, shall I put someone at the barrier to give penalties

Shadow has no insight

Even if I put him there, since he can only guard there would be no meaning

However, the ones coming will mostly be humans

To the guys with no divine protection it will probably only be a burden

Besides even with how much divine protection they have, they probably can't put up [much] resistance

The ones I have given my divine protection to up to now are Rune, Rau, Dea, and Rona

And then there's the orphans Alba, Reece, Twin, Ray, Maddie, and Franc

Additionally, there's Haju and Haju's mother Naru

Eight children and four adults

Moreover, Dea already has quite the workload forced on him and Rona's also busy with meal prep and the store

Naru just has my divine protection due to being subordinated to me, she hasn't got any magic stones

Even if I a.s.signed them such work all of a sudden it would be impossible for them

Remaining is Rune, but…..I have no intention of allowing Rune to do anything

Even before that, there's no guy who can do country entry inspections

Me doing it would be best, but I don't want to do such a troublesome thing

Even though it would be easiest if there could be automatic selection

Wouldn't it be easy if we had something like a lie detector?

(That's right)

With a lie detector in place, after simply having them answer, we can just have the guys who tell lies not allowed through

It's times like this where I should display the demon G.o.d's power

As for the future, since we might enter diplomatic relations with other countries, I must do it thoroughly

So even when I'm asleep, if it's just questioning, anyone could do it

Even as the work increases, so that guys who do things like tell lies or can't answer those question aren't let in, you can just depend on the barrier

Putting conditions on the barrier is quite simple

Even the previous barrier that was over the castle was made so that Rune and the others could come and go

The current castle as well is made so that the guys who have divine protection can freely enter

(For a 24 hour setup, a three part s.h.i.+ft should be fine)

If it's an eight hour work duty then it's about the same as a government worker I guess

Is it too much for the guys from this country?

However, for someone like Dea who works nearly the entire day, they can probably work about eight hours

If that's too much, then it should be fine to just have four six-hour s.h.i.+fts

Since most people can do it, it should be just right for the guys who loaf around without a job

Since they'll just be asking questions

If they are allowed in then they'll explain this country's rules

To be blunt, it's a job anyone could do

After deciding that, I made a gateway without delay

Reporting it to Dea, since he has to gather up the guys without jobs

I don't know who doesn't have a job

If I looked into it I'd immediately know, but it's troublesome

(Dea's guy, are doing well)

Not one guy is making a displeased face, on the contrary they seem happy to be working

They're considerable workaholics

Did they learn by example?

I'll 100% pa.s.s [on this]

Before even saying I don't want to, it's impossible

For me, living like that would probably be impossible

For something like a guy who takes so many days off, he would probably be sacked in one go

For a guy like me, I can't imagine working under someone

Whether I'd be fired for hitting the boss or for being absent without notice, it could be either

Although financially I'd get money one way or another, for some reason not matter how I look at it I would be a useless human

Even now that's unchanging though

If I didn't have the t.i.tle of demon G.o.d, I would be called unemployed

Although it's been decided that I would be Veiden's king now, in the future I intend to yield the position to someone else

I have no interest in nation building, as long as I'm offered a secure place, then I'd be able to live somehow

In the future I intend to isolate the country, and from then on diplomatic relations will also stop

In short, the time period [of the country being open] is just to supplement the various [necessities] of the guys of this country until they can become self-sufficient

Once the need disappears it'll be fine not to

There's also no meaning to forcing it to continue

Making an arch shaped gate, I affix the barrier to it

Considering the barrier's thickness, it becomes a two layered gate

Although it seems it'll get a short tunnel like area, since there's a need for a checkpoint area, it's convenient like this

(Since they'll come in contact with other countries' humans, shall I also place a barrier for [our] country's guys)

I already know the saying that being near unpleasant people will make you become unpleasant

The likelihood that this country's guys won't become like that is not 0

The guys who's temperament changes can't be allowed to remain in this country

It is a barrier for that sake

In other words, there will be a barrier for allowing guys entry to the country and a barrier for the guys working at the checkpoint

If they manage to enter, there will probably be no guy who maintains continuous contact and if there is something there will also be surrounding eyes [around watching]

Besides that, it should be fine if we examine them at fixed intervals

It's fine to just deport unneeded guys

Such guys are unnecessary, for me

I have no such intention of protecting such guys

If they were to expose other guys to danger I'd unhesitantly dispose of them

My things don't need to experience such

Those guys continuing as they are without maturing, I'll have Rune be extremely dependent on me

The one who led him to be like that was me

Just for Rune, no matter what happens I won't let him go

Speaking of the most extreme case, even if this country is destroyed I will not part from Rune

The other guys are also important to me and I want to pamper them, but Rune is special

For that reason, I restrict his freedom [ie. a caged bird]

If Rune were to say that he wanted to leave my side…….if I have to I'll to kill [anyone] aside from Rune to keep him by my side

Even so if he tried to run away, I'd chop of his hands and feet

No matter what I will not let him run away—

Since that's how I am it can't be helped

Being liked by a me like this is probably Rune's misfortune

……it doesn't hurt my conscience at all though

Diplomatic relations, will start with Kieshye to begin with

After a short time, I intend to also do so with other countries

At the time of diplomatic relations, I'll entrust the knight to notifying them of Veiden's rules

As the guy was governor he will likely be recognized by other country's king, knights, and magicians

The one who knows their personalities is only that knight

Who to refuse…….

That judgement will be left up to him

What will happen if he makes a mistake in his judgement, even without saying anything the one who knows best is probably that guy

Ones like the guys who discriminate against other races especially, or the guys who are belligerent towards me, marking the guys as never able to enter the country is that guy's job

Originally, he was Gudoudotelia's governor?

Such a thing has nothing to do with this

Whether they are his previous companions or acquaintances, mixing up professional and private life is not allowed

The status of that guy in Veiden is the only human adult male

In order to trade, what to import and trade with magic stones will be up for deliberation

Dea will decide what that thing is and the knight will convey Veiden's demands

Since the guys of this country put their faith in Dea, Dea can more smoothly get the general consensus

Since there are no guys who will hear out what that knight says

There's that they haven't yet grown used to him as well as there being many who are afraid of humans

If any guy does something strange they will be deported from this country

If they are imprudent I'll kill them

After giving that guy a job he quickly became lively

Since agony's are unnecessary it seems there was no one who wanted to be taught

Travelling to Kieshye on the agony, at the start of diplomatic relations it seems establis.h.i.+ng management was rough

Guys who escaped that guy's management were stopped by the barrier's arrangement

To start with, the king will be allowed to come again in a few days

After telling before coming, it was acknowledged

And then, carrying out various deliberation, the next to come will be merchants

They will come to sell things like dishware and cloth that the guys currently in Veiden can't make

The guys in Veiden can't go to Kieshye

In order to prevent being kidnapped

Guys without divine protection will probably easily be kidnapped by humans

If among the guys let in, if they even try to kidnap someone, the barrier at the gate will obstruct them

Then the shadow who was placed to stand guard as a gatekeeper will probably kill them

At the checkpoint as well, I place the shadow there as a gatekeeper

That way is probably safest

For merchants coming to sell goods, the guys of Veiden have nothing to sell to them

The only thing would be Rona and the others cooking or so

Due to the decrease [in population] of the three races, even things like vegetables may sell though

Compared to the country's size, the population is quite small

So even the size fields are disproportionately huge

To the point that there's a surplus [of vegetables]

If those sell, other guys will probably also try to earn some income with it

It will speed up the large scale farming project and they will need things like machines for agriculture

Though there are no such machines in this world

There are no machines

No cell phone or tv or refrigerator……

The refrigerator I installed in the dining room refrigerates with magic power, but ordinarily they keep things cool by [covering them] using things like straw and keeping them underground and such

The low temperature underground is the same no matter which world

Oil itself is also a luxury item and it seems there is only vegetable oil

Though it seems it's exclusively used for cooking

Boats are rowed by hand and candles are used for light

The lights in my castle are not from candles but from using electricity

The electricity is produced by me

At first it was from candles, but drippage from melting wax was hazardous

Although Rune and the others would not but injured [thanks to the divine protection], but as it is they'd still feel the heat

Danger must be removed

Before that, it was more dangerous to place candles after they were used up

Anxiously, seeing Rune replacing the candles on the chandelier up high in the hall, I changed all the rooms to electric lights

Telling me he wanted a ladder, I brought one out without even hearing what it would be used for

From the stair railings, I saw him on the unstable ladder and stopped him in a hurry

At that as one would expect I felt the chill of fear

It was when the divine protection wasn't that strong yet

After changing the chandelier's lights to electric lights, I remember him looking up at it for a while

Since it was the first time they were brought out, he immediately looked away if I called out to him though

Other guys' house lights are candles

Perhaps because candles are essential for daily life there are many guys who know about things like the raw materials and how to make them, so we can make them on our own

It seems you purify beeswax or the fruit of plants, similar to when I was in j.a.pan

The way of making it appears to have a few differences, as there's no way they would be made with exactly the same things as on earth

Incidentally, as there are a lot of kids there, the school also uses electric lights

Besides that, there's also the park's streetlights

Since there are guys that play until late at night

Everyone gazed at it looking amazed, but they gradually got used to it

Everyone stopped looking at it

The guys from Kieshye asked about it while looking with quite some interest, but Rune drew back at that [level of] enthusiasm

Those guys were dissatisfied at Rune who could only explain them as 'lights that s.h.i.+n-sama made' though

Even if I say they're electric lights [and not magic], Rune can't use magic, so he probably doesn't really get what it means

If I say it's something like lightning, the structure is different

He probably only recognizes it as 'a convenient light that you don't need to replace' or so

He doesn't seem that interested in the details

Wanting to know things like that would, as expected, be the elves

I gave Dea a rough explanation, but he didn't seem to understand

Telling him to comprehend things that the world doesn't have is probably unfair

So, in the end, no one understood it

Well, either way's fine by me
