I Was Reincarnated Chapter 56

(Ah—…..troublesome)

I've just starting to build a country and it has already become troublesome

If it's just gathering people or gathering goods somehow I can, but it seems I need to make a variety of regulations

Something like a const.i.tution like j.a.pan had

The only punishment's the death penalty

Deciding other punishments are too troublesome, since I already told that [punishment] to everyone before, there was no opposition

Since everyone is a good guy, there will probably be no guys violating the rules

There will be proper investigations

Only, searching and allocating suitable work is too troublesome

Before making a textbook, making the history book is troublesome

……however, since this is a promise I made to Dea, I intend to properly complete it

For the other guys, it's probably fine to just give them copies

Making a book from scratch, moreover translating it as well, is troublesome

Aside from that for some reason I am being treated like a king

Is it because I gathered these guys?

Is it because I'm the demon G.o.d?

Even the surrounding countries seem to recognize this country as 'the demon G.o.d's country'

Even me giving out funds is just because of my thought that I want to see the country everyone will make

Troublesome things have been forced on me

The future, if there's foreign trade I feel like it would be advantageous for the person sitting on the king's seat to be me, but currently I am just in the middle of little by little making it like a town

If I were appointed into such a position now, I wouldn't have free time to sleep for a long time

So I was pa.s.sing all the work to Dea, but he's probably considerably busy

I called Rune to go for a stroll, but 'since everyone's busy now, I also want to help' he said……

Everyone, is too diligent

Even for something like building a country, it's fine to do it slowly

However, I don't feel like becoming a hindrance to these guys' enthusiasm, so I'll be silently watching over them

I'll make buildings, sleep, supply food, sleep, buy a variety of things, sleep……

Probably, I'm the one who didn't work the most

The kids?

For the kids and Rau, their work is to eat, sleep, and play

Once school starts, studying will also be added [to their work]

I've also gathered quite a lot of kids

Although they're mostly just human orphans, there are also a lot of guys from the other three races who were caught as slaves

The rest are from villages and such who were brought along by their parents

If they're like those slaves of the human from before, I won't free unpleasant guys

Such guys cannot enter this country

That knight seems to want to enter, but I won't let him

It would be fine to show him for the sake of showing off, but currently it is not yet time

I thought perhaps I should reproduce a Baren country-like place, but this country is a bit different

The four races without discrimination lived together, but regarding Baren country's demon G.o.d, he restrained himself from excessively intervening with the country and people

Quietly living, and occasionally coming to chat was the extent [of his interference] it seems

The [previous] demon G.o.d's power has a large difference compared to my current strength it seems

If they were punched by the demon G.o.d, it seems that Baren country humans wouldn't have died

Because of that, I, can't even fight

Although pampering is nice, fighting is good stress relief

However, if I were to hit anyone in this world, they would undoubtedly only have death to look forward to

Fighting and killing are different

Why say this now after such a long time?

s.n.a.t.c.hing away the lives of trash, my consciences doesn't feel even the slightest twinge, but what I want is to fight

Would that G.o.d fight me, I wonder?

He's probably even stronger than me who was made the demon G.o.d

He repeatedly dodged

I don't know what kind of G.o.d he is but before that, I don't even know his name

Not interested either

Everyone seemed busy, only I had free time ( I don't even have anything to do)

Even sleeping in my room, because there are things they want me to confirm, Rune or Dea will come in and I can't sleep peacefully

(Speaking of, I haven't been to the lake yet)

I just set up a person repelling magic

I haven't strolled around that area

(As for fish, can they be caught?)

At the sea, in order to catch fish a number of small boats go out

Of course those guys do it for business

Me doing such a thing, there's no way

In my previous existence I rarely got seasick

Though I didn't have many chances to ride on boats

(Shall I go for a stroll at the lake)

The destination is decided

I teleport

(It seems there aren't many fish in the lake)

There are few boats

Although it's quite a large lake, in this world it seems there are few freshwater fish

(Shall I just cool off)

As expected even with just the water here, it's much cooler compared to the land

However, even if the atmospheric temperature is high, it's nothing compared to j.a.pan's summers and it's not really that hot

The frequency of sweating, it quite rare isn't it?

Doing something like field work where the body is moving you'd sweat though

(Although I'm glad I came, since there's nothing to see it's boring)

There nothing, just a pool of water

Such is my impression

(Isn't there anything?)

I walk while looking at the surroundings

"……Demon G.o.d-sama!?"

(Nn?)

When I look in the direction of the voice, there's a small boat (like a rowboat) the guy on it looks at me dumbfounded

It seems that he's from across the border, in another country

Since there's not much of an impression, he's probably a guy from Gudoudotelia's border

Seeing me he immediately called out demon G.o.d so he's probably a guy I've seen several times

As it seems he's fishing he's probably a shopkeeper in town

"…….on the water, floating?"

As for being dumbfounded, that's probably the cause

Since I'm walking on top of the lake

A demon G.o.d's power is quite convenient

I ignore that human and keep walking

Inside that guy's boat are a number of small fish flopping about

Fish that are from in this lake

Like this there are only [small] ones that don't seem worth eating

The flavor…….seems to be lighter than the guys from the sea

Their appearance is grotesque though

(As I thought, there's nothing)

I try making a whirlpool with magic

Although I'm in the center of it, I don't even shake

It's probably because I'm the demon G.o.d?

Although I know no one can kill me, it seems I also can't suicide

The surroundings are in a panic

Well, you know

Since all of a sudden high waves appeared on a calm gentle lake that didn't have any waves

Boats are capsizing and heading to the sh.o.r.e in a hurry

Like that the whirlpool steadily intensifies

The center sinks and it didn't take much time to reach the bottom of the lake

(So there's nothing….)

It's not interesting

Like this, so that I will rise to the surface, I weaken the whirlpool's power

It seems the fish are affected by the whirlpool's strength and they start floating belly up

After a short while, they'll probably go back to swimming like before

(How boring)

While I'm walking again, I think of whether there's anything good to do to kill time

After returning there will probably be work piled up like a mountain, but I don't feel like working

Since it's troublesome

Since I ended up born as a demon G.o.d and finally don't need to work, I don't want to do anything

Since I can just have Dea alone handle all the responsibilities, though occasionally I will reluctantly as a last resort lend a hand

However, there's no well qualified person

As the number of people increased even Rona had to take on responsibilities

For Rune and Rau, political talk is beyond them

Since I can't rely on other guys, Dea concentrates on the political stuff

(Someone new I can rely on, it would be good to raise one)

Alba and Haju are still children

Rune seems the most free, although he's probably competent, I don't feel like making Rune do anything

It seems that currently he's enthusiastically teaching the rules to the newly arrived people, but I won't make him do more than that

Why you ask?

Since I decided so

However, running around the newly built town, recalling the old days, he's no longer the Rune that could only rely on me

If you say it nicely, he's becoming reliable

Saying it badly, it's the source of my irritation

Since I can't hit those guys, I can only go out

Got any complaint?

(Should I lock Rune up in the castle?)

Is going so far as to take away his freedom too pitiable?

But, you know

It's something irritating

As expected, I want to hit someone

Isn't there any guy that won't die?

Though I'd keep hitting him

In the lake center, I crouch while floating

The fish are still floating on the surface

There's a possibility they're dead, but whatever

(It's boring)

Even if I'm here like this, since there's nothing there won't be any change

I decide to return to the country

Of course by teleporting

Everyone in town is doing something or other

There are also guys that call out to me when they see me, but unfortunately I don't have a lick of courtesy for those guys

Furthermore, right now I'm in too much of a bad mood

It probably would have been fine for me to directly return to the castle, but if I cause them to misunderstand by not returning everyone would worry

If the people in town see my figure, since it'll probably be reported no one will worry

In the middle of returning to the castle, I met Rune who was delivering food

"Shin-sama, welcome back"

He greets me with a smiling face

It's somewhat frustrating

"…..I'm going to sleep for a bit so don't wake me"

Rune widens his eyes looking surprised as I leave him behind and enter the castle

The main reason I got up was in order to check that the guys that can fly can't get in

Although I got up just in case as it was worrying, I'm now irritated and will confine myself to sleep

Although it's weaker than the barrier on the castle's garden, since there's one in the skies even if I sleep it should be fine

Even if something gets in, if there's those four and any one of them can call for me

We also have quite a lot of food stocked up

Even if I sleep for a while it should be fine
