''Come to think of it, Sion-san's level has grown to 5, hasn't it?

　As Chloe and the Dhampir's outbursts came to a close, the canon approached with a smile.

'Yes,'
Does that mean you've mastered the division?

　Kanon asks me with an expectant gaze.

　《Division》 - a delegation if you want to use a different word to describe it. It's a special ability that allows you to divide up the number of dominant domains you own [True Core], and you can appoint temporary masters from your subordinates to the divided dominant domains.

　Split] seems like a convenient special ability at first glance, but there were a few restrictions. First of all, the temporary master of the dominion realm can create equipment, but not the subordinates. The act of creating life would be the Demon King's prerogative. Furthermore, it was not only the dominant realm that would be divided, but also the CP needed to be divided.

　The CPs that could be divided up could be set in 100 units. Conversely, it meant that the maximum CP would be lowered by at least 100 units.

''I've learned it, but I don't plan on exercising it.
''What?!''

　When Kanon hears my answer, a look of astonishment appears on his face.

''There are two reasons.''


　He looked at the canon in a good mood and saw a hand sword.

''The first reason is that we don't have anyone who can be trusted with the temporary control area.
'What?　I'm here!　There's a former Demon Lord here with experience.

　The canon sets up a fierce self-promotion in response to my answer.

'Hmm?　Where are you?　All I see in front of me is Lina, an ex-brave and unaccustomed to creation... and the former Demon King who was attacked by humanity and nearly freed after only six days?
Enough?　Well, now that you mention it...
So, where are you?
It's just a matter of time before he adds another layer of pressure.

　Kanon's tension is decreasing rapidly.

Well, to tell you the truth, I'd rather have Kanon by my side at all times (as a search tool).
"--?　Well, if you're going to go that far you'll just have to give up.

　Part of the truth is tucked away in his mind and told, and the canon begins to squirm.

'The second reason, though, is that the reduction in CP is hard to take.

　A 100 drop in the maximum CP meant a 10 drop in the CP recovered per hour, 10 in an hour, 100 in 10 hours, and 240 in a day... If they were split up, the master of the hypothetical dominion area might gain 100 CP and recover 10 per hour, but its only use was to create equipment. It's quite a waste.

''Well, as it stands now, the dominant realm is also the first and second. Eventually, if the area we control expands and we run out of capacity, we'll think about it then.

Okay.

　With Kanon agreeing with my explanation, the discussion of the 《Split》 ended.

　I operate my smartphone to check my CP.

　My current CP is 240, and I only have 6 hours left until it's fully recovered.

　I check the list of things I've entered into the Memo app on my smartphone.

　1. create and verify a new subordinate
　2．A review of the "Random Number Creation".
　3．A meeting to invade the territory controlled by other demon kings.
　4The selection of the household members.
　5The creation and verification of new equipment.
　6The verification of Mist Separation.
　The creation of Lina's residence.

　I'll need to wait until all of my CP is restored before I can do the second one, but I'll need to do the third and fourth one as a set. This, too, is not enough CP. To be honest, 7 is low on the list of priorities, as I only entered it in my spare time during the cool time of transition.

　Shall we start with 5 in order? Next, by the end of the 3 meeting, you'll have recovered all of your CP by the end of the 3 meeting. Then I'll digest 4........then the 《Random Number Creation》 I'm looking forward to will be on the back burner...... This is a difficult choice.

　As I was pondering over my future plans, I was approached by Lina.

''Sion. I'm sorry.
What's going on?
As a matter of fact I'm running out of energy.

　Lina declares, apologetically.

　Is your strength limited?　Not even in a fight?

　--!

　I was so used to living the life of a demon king that I forgot about it, but Lina - humanity needed sleep, didn't it?

'Are you sleepy, by any chance?'
I'm sorry...

　Lina looks down apologetically. Would it be better to declare this way than to be able to sleep in the middle of a discussion?

'Do you need a place to sleep?'
...if you can.

　Lina replies in a weak voice, "We're in a cave at the end of the fourth level. We are in a cave at the end of the fourth level. The cave is large enough. I don't care if you're going to sleep around there with a small fish, but does it look bad?　Come to think of it, I think Kanon might have said something about giving you the house when he convinced Lina to come over.

　I didn't promise her that I'd give her the house but I can't help it.

Hold on a minute.

　I spent 12 CP and created a house right near the cave. Goblins are living in a hut with more than 10 of them with 3 CP spent. If you think about it, you can understand how much better they are treated.

　The building that would be Lina's created home was a square-shaped Western-style house that was a two-story structure.

'Was it a little too opulent?'

　I look at the house, which has a lot of land area of about thirty square meters, and I let out my true feelings.

It's a beautiful house.
Are you sure you want to...?

　Kanon's eyes twinkle honestly, and Lina shows a reserved attitude.

'We're planning to share a room in the future, so you'll have to decide on your own room while you're at it. Kanon, while you're at it, you can move into this house too, okay?
Okay.
Rina, do you mind if I move in with you?
I don't mind.
So I'll take you up on your offer.

　Lina would feel better mentally if she had a former human and conversational canon near her, too.

'Well then, Lina, get some rest.
I'm sorry.
Oh?　I'd like to get some sleep too, but...
Yeah. I see.

　Following Lina, Kanon declares his limits. I said my words of approval and turned to leave the place.

'Is Theon not going to sleep?'

　Lina calls out to me.

'Hmm?　I don't need to sleep or eat, you know.
It's a demon king's prerogative.

Oh, really? I'm sorry.

　Lina mutters an apology with an awkward expression on her face.

　Those eyes ... pity?　You don't need to eat, you don't need to sleep.　I don't know what it means to be envied, but I don't know what it means to be pitied.

　I quietly left the scene.
