The course of action on the invasion has been set. Now it's time for domestic politics.

　The country..... The general image in his brain was complete. However, there was a lot of work to be done in order to realize that image.

　Even though he is in a position to have absolute authority to give orders to his subordinates and territories - it is impossible for him to do it alone. He would need help. Normally, I would ask the canon to be my talker and search tool... but the canon's top priority is to grow my knowledge to A. The next person to turn to is Yataro........Currently, the number of controlled territories that could be invaded by the enemy is 34......and since we've entrusted him with the management of all of them, we can't increase the burden any further.

　So.........should we find someone new?

　That said, I've seen a lot of battle scenes of my subordinates, but I know very little about the rest of the subordinates and the state of the territory. In other words, no matter how much I worry about it, the problem will never be solved. The reason is that the answers to the problems are not in my drawer.

　Time is money. While I worry, my CP continues to recover and my enemies, who are fighting for life and death, continue to grow.

　The solution is simple. If you don't know the answer, you can ask someone else.

　I used my smartphone to start hearing from my soldiers, including Kanon and Yataro.

　After conducting the hearings - the list of candidates was narrowed down to two.

　Narrowed down?　Who decided to be alone?　Why don't we just let them both help?

　So I called the two humans to my room.

''Excuse me........''
I'm Masako Tamura Masako. Excuse me.

　The two men who appeared in the room were a man in his thirties with a suspicious, odo-odd attitude and a woman in her sixties who exuded an air of elegance.

　The man in his thirties with the odd-odd attitude is named Sousuke. After Lina, he became my subordinate and is now a human being who spends his days tinkering with the soil. It was Kanon who recommended Sowske. The reason for this is that I was told that she could be a bridge between demons and humanity.

　Tamura Masako is a human being who became a territory when she "ruled" the Noto back. It was Kotetsu who recommended her. Miss Tamura was originally an elementary school principal and was well respected by the humans around her and was known as a moderate before she became a territorial citizen.

　I encourage them to sit in the chairs I have prepared for them, and then I cut to the chase.

''The reason I called you two here is none other than that. Help us with the internal politics we're about to undertake - the reform of our dominion.
Oh, you did?
Oh, yeah?　How can an old lady like this be of any use to the Demon King?

　Souske is upset by my words and Ms. Tamura smiles softly.

''First, I'll convey my thoughts to the two of you. The human beings under my control - the territorial residents - will be asked to work. Specifically, agriculture, industry, construction, and combat.
So if you don't work, you shouldn't eat.
Oh, I'm going to be a farmer!

　Lady Tamura replied stagnantly to my words, and Souske hurriedly announced her wishes.

'Agriculture, industry and construction, if anything, are not for me, but for ourselves. Ultimately. My goal is to have a system capable of backing up those who defend the territory they control and those who invade.

　The two of them listen to my words in silence.

''In order to accomplish this, it will be necessary to place the fiefdoms in the right places. Therefore, I would like the two of you to inquire about the tasks you wish to perform from all the lords.

Explain to the Lords that you are also working to secure your food, shelter, and a comfortable life.
I understand.
Yes, sir.

　The two respond to my words with a straightforward affirmation.

'If it seems like we don't have enough men we'll dispatch our men - demons. We'll dispatch goblins for detailed work, and orcs and ogres for hard work. I expect Souske to serve as a bridge between humanity and demons.
'What?　Is that so?
Can't you...?　I'll order the demons to stay out of harm's way from me, okay?
"No, no ... these goblins are a good-natured bunch once they get used to it. The problem is....

　Souske awkwardly looks at Miss Tamura.

''Sure, there's a bit of resistance...''
'Get used to it there all I can say is get used to it. And Souske, do your best to follow through.
Okay.....
Okay, got it.

　Ms. Tamura and Souske answered in the affirmative, though they were anxious.

'Do you have any opinions so far?'
''Master Theon. I don't mean to be presumptuous, but may I give you two points?
What?

　Lady Tamura looks at me apologetically.......but in a clear tone of voice.

''One, the people who will be working on this are all the lords under the control of Zion-sama, aren't they?
'Don't be. We can't afford, nor are we obligated to provide for those who don't work.
Does that ... include ... children?
What exactly is a child?

　I became the Demon King when I was 18 years old. If you compare it to what I knew when I was human then I was a minor. In other words, I'm a child.

A child under the age of 15.
Fifteen means you're in middle school?
Yes, sir.
Middle schoolers can help with the work.
I can, but I'm just a kid!

　Ms. Tamura retorts to my words with a strong tone of voice.

　Come to think of it, was Ms. Tamura a former elementary school principal?

Then what do you want from me?　You want me to make one for the school?
'Yes!　Fortunately, a few of those who have become lords have been former teachers.
Even if I were to accept that opinion what would be my advantage?
"An educated child will serve Master Zion well in the future!　And a child is a treasure. Treat the child well, and the child's parents will be loyal to Lord Zion.
The way you put it, it sounds like you're not loyal to me right now...?

　I give a nasty smile to Ms. Tamura.

"--!　It's not like that!　The lords who have come under the protection of Master Zion are grateful for the life they have now!　But when they find out that the ruler, Lord Theon, is a demon king who also cares for his children, they swear even more loyalty!　This dominion area will truly be our home!　People are becoming more defensive, and people are voluntarily trying to improve the environment -
That's enough. That's enough. I'll accept Ms. Tamura's opinion. But you will have to make some changes to your lessons. Agriculture, industry, construction, and combat training will be included. Those are my terms.

　I am determined to build a nation. The lords - human resources will eventually become human capital and strengthen the country. I also liked the fact that the loyalty of the children's parents would increase.

　The productivity of a child is negligible. That's why I took Mrs. Tamura's opinion and allowed her to establish an educational institution.
