Six new countries will be participating in this World Alliance Conference, Iglet, Eshen, Elfrau, Lyle, Hannock, and Parellius.



　Well, as usual, it's more like a home party than a conference, and it's all about eating good food and talking amongst yourselves.
　Ah, yes, Parelius Island was officially recognized by other countries as a country and became the Kingdom of Parelius. So the Central Imam became Queen Parellius.
　As a result, the surface world was joined to the World Alliance by a total of 18 countries, excluding the kingdoms of Nokia and Horne.
　As a matter of fact, we have approached the remaining two countries about joining through Xenoas and Felsen, but we have not received any positive responses.
　I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems that both countries are having a bit of a domestic dispute, or are unable to unify their national policies, or something like that.
　It would be a shame for us to be blunt, so we are keeping a low profile for now.
　For now, as usual, I invited the representatives of the newly joined countries to Brunhild's conference and playroom.
　Then I handed them a mass-produced smartphone and first gave them a lecture on how to use it. The others were drinking tea, playing games and chatting with each other as usual.
　Yisheng's emperor, Shirahime, had already learned to use it, so she was on the side of teaching everyone how to use it.

''I see, this is indeed very useful.

　The King of the Kingdom of Hannock, Carlo Ol Hannock, muttered that while calling the person in front of him.
　He had met King Hannock once when he was in a dispute with Euron, introduced to him by His Majesty Emperor Regulus. He's an uncle in his forties or so with no distinctive glasses.
　It would be understandable if he were called a middle manager in some company. But I've heard he's quite a masterful monarch, despite his appearance. Well, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to protect the country from Euron's diplomatic pressure. He's an example of how not to be fooled by appearances.

It's great that you can do more than just make calls. I'd love to take some vaudeville or something with this recording feature.

　And the King of the Lyle Kingdom, Balstra Durga Lyle IV, chuckled as he called in front of him and King Hannock.
　He was a short, slightly overweight old man. He is a gentle man, even though he has dwarven blood in him. In the Lyle Kingdom, where many dwarves live, he is the leader of them. He can't drink, and he is the complete opposite of the dwarves who dislike rough stuff, but for some reason he seems to get along with them.

''Ah, I see!　This way you can take pictures of yourself!
What is this symbol, Princess White?
This is the one that emits light when you take a picture in the dark. You can switch the light on and off by yourself, but if you set it to 'Auto', the camera will judge for itself.

　The Central Imam, who became the Queen of the Kingdom of Parellius, along with the same Queen, Queen Elfrau, is being taught the camera function with Princess White.
　Eventually, the three of them started taking pictures together. It's as if they're schoolgirls or something. Two of them are over 1000 years old....

I'm thankful for this because our country is so far away from other countries.

　The King of the Kingdom of Egret is rocking his usual golden feather ornament, looking at the screen of his phone and moving his fingers. I'm teaching him how to type an email. I thought he was a muscular man, but he seems to be a very quick-witted and dexterous person.
　After a while, he was able to send and reply properly, so I ended the lecture for now.
　After that, the students were free to relax for a while, and the representatives of each country exchanged email addresses and phone numbers while discussing with each other.
　In the afternoon, we moved to the Kingdom of Egret to enjoy the sea at King Egret's private beach.
　As is to be expected of His Majesty's private beach, the emerald green sea spreads out on the beautiful sandy beach, and a wonderful villa was built on the rocky cliffs of the beach.
　While I was there yesterday, [Prison] made sure that the dangerous creatures of the sea could not come in, and safety measures were properly taken. And if someone is about to drown, the coral and obsidian will take care of it.
　Since the representatives of each country and their families, plus their guards, came to that private beach, the private beach has turned into a normal swimming beach. So many people.....

''The royalty rate is outrageous, that it is...''
If something happens here and now, the world could be in pretty bad shape.

　Yae and Else, who have already changed into their swimsuits, mutter such things. Don't be so fussy........
　Most of the people were in their swimsuits and hanging out on the beach. Those who don't like the ocean or the sun is too harsh are relaxing in the direction of King Iglet's villa.
　I was wearing a knee length trunks type bathing suit and a hoodie on top. These swimsuits are high quality products made of first class materials and provided by Mr. Zanuck's clothing store.
　The children run out into the ocean with the floats, beach balls, and rubber boats I've loaned them.
　That's Prince Remza of Mismid (10) and Prince Alba (7). And that's Princess Lilac of Hannock (10) and Princess Milnea (8).
　The boy king of Paloof's kingdom (10) and his fiancée, Rachel (10), also joined them, frolicking in the surf. The kids are getting along so fast.
　Oops, over there, Prince Lydis of Lefries (12) and Princess Tia of Mismid (11) are laughing happily together behind the trees. Well, well, the atmosphere is very nice.

It's my first love. It's my first love, and it's sparkling.
I thought you were...

　Before I know it, Hanakoi's sister is grinning and muttering beside me. She's wearing a pink bikini and a pareo around her waist, and she's ready to play.

''I'm telling you, don't do anything unnecessary, okay?
'I don't. Neither of them are tactless enough to tamper with such an interesting situation as their first love.

　I'm already extremely tactless with that statement. Oh well, let's just leave it at that for now.
　Hanakoi's sister went in the direction of Yumina and Suu. As it is, I'm about to sit on the beach chair, but when I see a figure lying on the beach next to them like a corpse, I'm momentarily freaked out.

'Why is His Majesty the Demon King of Xenoas lying on the ground...'

　Heat stroke?　I thought, but apparently not. As I was thinking about it eerily, the dark elf Spica-san, Sakura's bodyguard, who was nearby, explained to me.

''Well, when I was taking a bunch of photos of His Majesty the Demon King taking pictures of Sakura-sama in her swimsuit, I was told by a scornful look that it was 'creepy'...'''

　So they received a shock and became a corpse, huh? This father and daughter are still the same as ever.....
　Well, even for a father, taking a lot of pictures of his daughter in her swimsuit may be a problem, but....

"Take her under the shade of a tree to avoid possible heat stroke.
Yes, sir.

　As a Demon King, I don't think it's going to be so easy to get rid of him, but, well, just in case. Spica-san and Sirius-san, His Majesty the Demon King's bodyguard and her father, take away the corpses who don't answer.

''Fuyao-san,''
Hmm?　Oh, Linse ... and Princess Liliel ...
Long time no see.

　Seeing the figure of the First Princess Liefries beside Linze who called out to her, she reflexively braced herself.
　This dangerous Rose-Tale author princess is an enemy in a way.

''Do the two of you know each other?''
"Several times through Yumina, you know. She's read my books.

　As if she didn't want me to hear too much, the Princess Liriel speaks to me in a hushed voice. I've heard that she keeps her writing career a secret from her father, the Emperor Liefries.
　If that's all it is, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's just what it is....


What? Why again?
Of course it's for the writing. It's dangerous to write them down on paper. It would be very dangerous if the cleaning maids found them and reported them to your father. On the other hand, you can take it with you and write it down anytime and anywhere. It is an ideal magic tool!

　He stuffs me so excitedly that I almost fall out of my beach chair. Nah, I see. I understand why.
　I get it, but is it really okay to give it to them? For the sake of the peace of mind of men like me who were modeled after the characters, I feel like I should say no here....
　As I'm reluctant, Linse gives me a covering shot.

''Fuyao-san, Lil-sensei is also working on a stage script, and she's in the midst of planning her next production. Please help her out.

　Stage?　Oh, by the way, I remember seeing a play in the royal capital of Belfast with Yumina before. It was called "The Adventures of Toya, the hero who rescued Princess Yuina from being kidnapped by the black dragon.
　The one that was obviously based on us. The content was mostly original, though. It's true that it was a wholesome, fairly decent story, but....
　I glanced at Linse. Huh..... I guess I can't blame Linse for asking me to do this much. I'm sure she won't abuse it. He's not a bad person. It's not a bad person, it's just that Yumina adores him. I think he's an annoying person, though.
　I take out a mass-produced white smartphone from 【Storage】 and hand it to Princess Liliel.

''Ask Linse how to use it. ........I sincerely hope that the use of it is not contrary to public order and morals. ........I sincerely hope.
'Why do I have to go through this twice...?　Well, all right. Thank you. And, if possible, can't you do something about the magic tools to print?

　You're doing a great job........ I was thinking of handing that one over to the various countries one of these days, but I can't borrow it from Emperor Liefries, can I?
　I take out a thin, bi-folded notebook-like object from 【Storage】 again.
　This is a portable printing machine that puts a piece of paper in between, puts my phone on it and touches "print" to print on the paper inside.
　The problem is that it only prints one sheet at a time, because I made this machine as a test, not Dr. Wells.

It's a prototype, but it's useful enough. It's a prototype, but it's good enough for personal use.
Good job. Thank you. I'll pay you back with my artwork.
'Please, never mind!　I really don't care!

　I didn't want them to return the favor in a strange way, so I refused to go there.
　Linse and Princess Liliel walked together towards King Iglet's villa. They would teach her how to use her phone at the villa.

''Hey, are you having fun? 'My lord,'
Yeah. That one?　That's....

　King Egret, who was sitting on the beach chair next to me, presented me with the object he was holding in his hand. It was a dried up stick in his hand and emitted a distinct smell.

'Is it Tentaculla's Surume?'
Mm. It's about time. You gotta try it.

　When I put the tip in my mouth, the rich flavor spread with a hard bite. It's not bad. Isn't this a success?

It's good.
Mmm. It goes well with a drink. I can't believe this is that creepy tentmaker.
'Indeed. It's even better with mayonnaise.

　Take the mayonnaise out of [storage], put it out on a small plate and eat it with it. Oooh, great. You can add a dash of chili pepper to it if you like.
　King Iglet also dipped the mayonnaise in the same way and took a mouthful of slime.

''This is ... good!　You can't help but drink more. It's outrageous.

　He offered me a drink with him, but I refused, saying I was too primitive to drink. In this world, people drink even when they are 14 or 15.
　King Misumid and King Felsen, who may not have been caught by the drink, came in and began to drink with me and a bowl of surume as a snack.
　I watched the timing and managed to get out of there.
　I don't want them to have to deal with drunks, you know. And to be honest, those three guys are muscular, so it's a lot of trouble to be between them.
　When I looked at the sandy beach, I saw Morobane Sis and Reinhardt, the King of Restia, striking each other with a wooden sword. What are you doing coming up to this place.......
　As usual, sister Karina with a harpoon 《Mori》 is catching fish in the sea, and Drunken Flower has joined the drinking group from earlier before I knew it. And this Hawaiian instrumental music coming from somewhere...needless to say.
　Uncle Kosuke was cutting up watermelons and offering them to everyone. The watermelons from Brunhild are sweet and delicious. Since it's the god of agriculture that's growing them, it's only natural.
　Come to think of it, I'm hungry.... As expected, I can't eat only squid. What should we eat?
　I took out a BBQ set from the 【Storage】 and put a net and a griddle on top of it, half on each side. I got the vegetables from my uncle Kosuke next door and took out the dragon meat and started grilling it.
　The good smell of the meat attracted Suu, Yae, and Lou, three people who have an eye for food, to come over.

'Looks good!'
That's true....
It's almost done. Lou, can you help me with something?
He's all yours.

　I pulled Lou, who is a good cook, into the kitchen and asked him to make some yakisoba on the griddle. I quickly smear soy sauce on the corn on the net and hand it to them as it cooks up.

"Ha ha ha, hot!
"Hot but sweet and delicious!

　The two of them chewed their grilled corn with great relish. Now they put the dragon meat on the net and roast it one after another. Don't forget the vegetables like onions, squash and peppers. The meal should be well balanced.

''Oh, that looks good,''
Lord Winterfellas, give us one.
Okay.

　His Majesty King Belfast and His Majesty King Leafyse's corn is also roasting. The sound of sizzling and the smell of burning soy sauce spread around the area, and others came over.

''The yakisoba is ready!''
I'll have a little bit of Lucia. It looks good.
Then so am I.

　Lou's yakisoba was received by his father, Emperor Regulus, and his sister, Elysia.
　I also asked my uncle Kosuke to take over the cooking duties and receive the yakisoba that Lou made.
　The sauce-flavored noodles are served on a wooden plate and are delicious with a spicy peppery taste. The red ginger was also a great accent. Lou's food gets better and better with each meal.
　King Linie's fish is cooked in foil, honey spareribs, grilled rice balls, turban shells, salted prawns, and okonomiyaki.
　And they are all delicious. Kosuke's uncle was also making things like tomato and cheese baked in foil and steamed onions. This one is as good as the other. They brought out the taste of the ingredients well.
　After enjoying the barbecue on the beach, we played until dusk.
　After seeing our guests off to their respective countries at the "Gate", Brunhild and I also said goodbye to King Egret and returned to the principality.

''Ugh, I'm so tired!''
You just had a good time, didn't you?
Well, yeah.

　While answering Else, who replied with a dumbfounded voice, I lie down lazily on the sofa. I'm tired after all because I take care of myself in my own way.

''It's bad manners, Fuyou-sama.
I'm sorry, it's just that...

　Hilda chided me, but I'd like to ask her to give me a little bit of a break. Normally, I just want to sleep like this........ It's really getting sleepy........

I'm sorry to hear that you're tired.
What?　What a surprise!

　When I opened my outraged eyes, I saw Sheska in her maid's outfit, her face close enough to take my breath away. So close, so close, so close!
　You startled and fell off the couch.

I didn't want to wake up before you woke up to a hot bedazzled chicken.
Shut up!　What the hell?

　You f*cking maid!

There are two men at the gate, sir, who say they are here to see their master. They said they were acquainted with the master.
'A couple of...?　Who's that?
I don't know who or what they were, but they both looked like women.

　Who's that?　I have no idea. Maybe a female adventurer I met somewhere.

Is this about acknowledgement or something? ...Where did you impregnate her?
I didn't impregnate her!　No, no, no!　This stupid maid is just saying that on her own!

　f*ck!　And I excuse myself to everyone who looks at me. I'm not excusing myself, I didn't do anything!

''No, we believe in you, that we do.
''It's just that........Fuyu-sama has a habit of attracting women, for better or worse.......''
It's not impossible that they're just assuming things on their own or something, you know...

　Wait a minute, what's the habit of attracting people? It's like a lantern ankou...
　I have to check who it is anyway. I use 【Teleport】 to run away from everyone and jump in front of the castle gate.
　There were indeed two hooded and robed figures in front of the castle gate.
　When one of them finds me, he steps forward a few steps and calls out to me.

''Long time no see. Motizuki Touya.
"...?　Who........oh!

　Even in the darkness of the night's curtain, my eyes can still capture the face under the dimly lit hood. We've only met once, but I'll never forget that face.

'Lise, huh?'
Yes. I'm looking for Endemuson's whereabouts. If you know, please let me know.

　Lise. One of the race that stands at the top of the crystalline life form, the Frays. A female-type dominant species that worked with Ende.
　However, I heard that she's separated from Ende and is now going to Nei, who is also the dominant species and her sister.
　That means.........
　I turn my attention to the hooded figure standing behind me. My eyes, which can see through the darkness, can see the face of the person who was once attacked. I unconsciously tensed up.
　Nay. The dominant species leading the flames was standing there.
