Full-scale PreparationThe 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 shift 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 shifts
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 establishing 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 Shin-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
