　Immediately after I became a lord, I was busy with general affairs for a while.

　First of all, I had to send letters of protection of my domain to my vassals and to the temples and other institutions in my domain since I had been replaced.

　I had promised to protect the estate in the name of Geisel, the former lord, so I had to re-send the letters in the name of my Althrod.

　Well, this can be done clericaly, as all I have to do is to check the contents.

　However, meeting with people is time consuming and tiring.

　Various people come to greet the new lord, and we have to welcome them. This cannot be accommodated only at our convenience, and it would be impolite to treat diplomatic envoys with disrespect.

　By the way, Raviara, who was always beside me as a member of my entourage, was equally tired.

"Oh, my shoulders are stiff. ....... Mr. Arsrod: ......"

　Laviala was pressing down on his shoulder. When it was just me and Raviara, Raviara would show her true colors a little. In the presence of so many people whom I don't know well, I have to put my strength as a member of my entourage.

　By the way, Raviara is not officially my wife. Because my position requires a political marriage, and it would be an inconvenience if I married Raviara too openly. Also, it is sad to say, but Lhaviala is a half-elf, so some people might say that it is not desirable for her to be a full-fledged wife because of her status.

　However, she is a lord, so she can't be blamed for having several mistresses. I'm eighteen now and I'd rather be childless. I'd like to have a child with Raviara as soon as possible.

I can't help it. It's the job of the lords to take care of such troublesome business.

"I thought I'd have a more spectacular life now that I'm a viscount, but I guess not so much. ....... Oh, I never thought my shoulders could be this stiff in my teens. ......

"Then I'll give you a shoulder rub. There's no one else around right now, and it wouldn't hurt my dignity."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What, Mr. Arsrod?　I am in awe!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Laviala blushed and waved her hand to the side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a way, she was his wife, too, but Laviala would not give up her position as a subject.

"Why are you so shy to squeeze my shoulder after all these years? Come on, give it to me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I put my hand on Laviala's shoulder a little forcefully. It's harder than I thought it would be.

"How nervous are you, you, going along with my political affairs ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because, you never know when or where bandits might be lurking to take Lord Arsrod's life. ....... Oh, there, it works!

　Raviara's shoulders are getting more relaxed now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I play a little prank and blow on her half-elf ears, which are not as pointy as elf ears, but definitely pointy.

"Phew!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, please don't ...... Raviara, really, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Laviala slumped down. She can't even put any strength into her legs. The effect was too much for her to imagine.

"Sorry. I didn't think it would go this far. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You can't do this. ....... Yo, yo ...... wait till night ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seeing Laviara blush and say that made me feel embarrassed too. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. ....... See you at night. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought that I would have such a relationship with Raviara. A few years ago we were studying together and practicing sword and bow.

　Then a vassal came to say hello to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The first priest of the temple has come to greet you!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The first temple is the one recognized by the lord as the most important temple in the territory. There are several temples in the county, and for the purpose of control, the large temples are rated from the first temple to the fifth temple.

"Okay. Let me through."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The priest who came to greet me was the one who gave me the name Oda Nobunaga. He had a bushy white beard.

"It's been a long time. I am Hernata, a priest. I had no idea at the time that you would rise to the rank of Viscount.

My brother has been ill. It's just a coincidence."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the surface, Geisel pretends to have died of illness. He doesn't bother to wear the stigma of his brother's murderer. It would be better for him to go to the other side of the world than to be told that he tried to kill his brother and was killed in the process.

Is the profession of Oda Nobunaga working for you?　I, too, was concerned in my capacity as an oracle."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then you have nothing to worry about. I am grateful for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This profession has made me a lord.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I was wondering if you could give me a moment of your time to give a phonetic diagnosis of the word Oda Nobunaga.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Phonetic diagnosis is a kind of divination based on the sound of the name.

　--Nonsense. If fortune-telling could tell us anything, no one would lose a war. I'm sure all the feudal lords went to war for good fortune.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A voice in my heart complained. You have a point. In war every lord usually sets out on a lucky day and time. If they can win, then there is no one to lose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And since they don't give names to people with obviously unlucky sounds, by that logic, there would be no unlucky people. In reality, however, there are countless people who died in battle or died of illness at a young age.

　However, I was honestly interested in what kind of results would be obtained for this case of Oda Nobunaga.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, go ahead. It shouldn't take me more than a few hours."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Priestess Ernata laid a cloth on the floor and draped sand over it in a square pattern. Then he wrote the name Oda Nobunaga in the center.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I wonder what the result will be?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Raviara watched with interest. Laviala is always more interested in me than in herself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, what a ...... thing to ...... do!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How are you doing?　Did you get results that strange?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The sound Oda Nobunaga means the Demon King, so to speak. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Demon King?　Is it that demon king who rules the world by controlling monsters?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this world, there are subhumans such as goblins and orcs, spirit-like creatures, and monsters such as behemoths and kraken. However, the existence of a demon king who rules over monsters is a legend, but its existence has not been confirmed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes ....... In terms of occupational names such as warriors and wizards, would it be most appropriate to call him a demon king? ....... I am sorry if I have offended you. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--The Demon Lord. You've got a good eye, priest!　I did once playfully call myself the Demon King!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The voice in my heart laughed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't help but laugh too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Um, what's so funny about ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, I thought it was good news."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Laviala seemed to know how I felt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Even a demon king is a king. It is a suitable occupation for you, Mr. Arsrod, who is not only a lord of Nevru, but also aspires to be king!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's what I mean. Well, I'll try to be benevolent and not be tainted by evil."
