I Was Reincarnated Chapter 56
In the Middle of Country Building
(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
