Chapter 113: The King’s?Duty.

Translator: Mr.Nobody

“Your appearance, while I think that it’s suitable for you, did it come naturally? Or perhaps somebody changed you?”

The monster that turned into a slime like mucus. I asked King Warm.

However, this monster.

“I have no intention to talk with you!”

He said that and his body shook *Buruburu*. What could he be hiding? My gut is telling me that it’s not me and the others.

I sigh and shake my head.

“It’s tough being a King. I’m taking care of the Kingdom now. In that case, I need to take necessary information to keep the Kingdom safe. The methods don’t matter.”

I said that and with telekinesis I restrained the monster.

“Gyaaaaaaa!? What do you intend to do!?”

“You should understand since you’re a former King. No, rather it’s what you’ve done to the people up till now. It’s just that you’re going to receive it yourself. Knowing such anguish can be a good learning experience. Anyhow, you’re lacking experience.”

I’m also going to conduct various experiments. It’s obvious that this is tied to the current King’s quality.

“Stop, stop it! I’m, I’m king of Warms!”

“I’m sorry but this is in accordance with the law. Isn’t this the law you used regularly? What right do you have to excuse yourself as a monster that could be toxic to the Kingdom? Now, remember the time you enacted these laws.”

“No, noooo! Stop it!”

“Your deeds have caught up to you. But it’s also a chance to learn this simple reasoning.”

“You’re right. It’s natural that even a Demon King has to learn that.”

“There’s a Dwarf proverb which says that striking a cold iron turns the iron into distorted and hardened shape.”

“Shujin-sama is showing himself not just as a military man but also as a sage!”

I nodded to what Laara, Clarissa and Mira said.

“Besides, the principle of rule of law must be upheld. After all, I’m the King.”

I cannot break the laws as a King. In twofold meaning, it’s clear that I was trying to do right thing.

“Let’s do it, Master.”

“Lucia?”

Lucia smiled kindly.

“The deeds that Master is doing are not done by Master alone. We… No, Master does them because the whole of humanity approves of his action.”

That’s right, Erin also responds.

“Masatsugu is the King we’ve chosen. That’s why, please do as you think is right. We’ll follow your fair judgements to the end!”

Shii and Silvy also joined,

“The spirits and the underworld also support Maa-kun’s decisions.”

“It’s the duty as a King to devote your heart to the Kingdom. I’m sorry that we’ve entrusted the fate of the world to you Naomi-sama… But, fate itself won’t let go of Naomi-sama…”

The girls transmitted their feelings.

Being King is solitude. You have to make the final decisions yourself. No matter how cold-hearted it is.

But, not only the girls but also humanity is supporting me.

At that my heart became a bit lighter. I’m too after all a human despite being called a God in my own right. There’s nothing more assuring than knowing everyone trusts you.

“Let’s go, King Warm! Erm, monster! You’re gonna fork over the secrets you’re hiding! This is king Masatsugu’s imperial command!”

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”

I’ll use all methods in the book to have this monster speak the truth.

This also carries a tinge of cruelty.

But, I looked beyond this.

I looked at the brightful smiles of everyone.

For that aim I’m willing to dirty my hands. The chosen people understand that this is their duty in their souls.

I actually wanted to be a civilian. But, the world couldn’t allow me that so I as a person it seems I have a character that contributes naturally to the peace and tranquility of this world.

I am a virtuous person. Maybe perhaps because I am an existence close to God where normal people can’t achieve. Naturally, I myself didn’t even want that.

I want to pass days without standing out and slow. That’s my desire. Sigh, when will those days come.

I thought about such things.

And while thinking such things, King Warm’s treatment has finished.

“Poor thing. Aren’t you all tattered…?”

“There is no need for Master to worry about. Master is too merciful.”

“That’s right. It’s not just Masatsugu-sama’s fault. It’s everyone’s fault.”

“This is the result of Masatsugu-sama’s action to save the world and this consequence is of that result. If there’s something to be responsible about then it’s the whole world.”

“Aah, that’s really so.”

There’s no regret. This wasn’t my personal doing but rather the world’s choice.

However, even though having no choice I pitied King Warm out of my kindness.

“As expected, maybe I am too kind.”

Like that I self-derided myself.

But, on the other hand if you ask people, then maybe by this kindness a lot of lives can be saved.

In truth, even King Warm who has become into this form was able to speak the truth through my kindness. That’s right, he didn’t need to hold the secret until the very end. I guess that’s what it’s exactly meant when saved by my kindness. I’ve saved another poor being which was being toyed around by fate without knowing it.

That’s right, I’ve learned the shocking truth from the mouth of this monster.

As I expected my intuition was correct. No need to be surprised. But, I have to recognize that I’m right as a grave fact. In a way, it’s evidence that the world is moving around me as a human being.

As I thought King Warm was hiding an important truth. I was able to see this truth with my discerning eyes and was able to prevent the destruction of the world again.

Author’s note:

I’ve started a new work!

“I was banished from the Hero’s party however, I’m glad that they’ve left me. I won’t help you guys in the future if you ask me, I’m hoping you guys can deal with it. Great Muse, I’m troubled if you come with me, you know?”

I reccomend it to those who enjoy reading “Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraita kedo, Naze ka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken”.

Please read even if it’s just the first episode.
