A New Audience With The King

Hello, Lionsgate. Hello, Keiko. Something concerning has occurred: the king announced that one of the wishing stars has changed colors, causing him to worry about its increased power. However, I assured him that it was merely an upgrade to a stronger version. I explained that the star had transformed into a black wishing star, which possesses greater potency than its predecessors. The king also questioned why I did not come to him when he initially requested my presence. In a flashback, I am seen deciding to visit the king two weeks later, simply because I did not feel like it. Reflecting on the present, I realize that I have become somewhat of a king myself.

Interrupting my thoughts, the king scolds me for not informing him sooner, comparing my behavior to that of a child. He also questions the presence of someone beside me. In another flashback, I am seen naming the goblins Mei, Sei, Rey, and Key, only to realize that it's too many names. However, I quickly introduce Lycone, my guard, who evolved into a powerful demonic goblin warrior.

The king interrupts again, scheduling an Empire Ball for all the empires, warning that failure to comply would result in attacks from the other empires. Annoyed by the situation, I leave, ensuring that my domain is properly set up. The population of our demonic goblins has now reached 80,000 within just a few months, and our kingdom has advanced significantly, thanks to Jinsei and Riot's assistance. We have established schools, jobs, and a military, enjoying a stable income from products such as soy sauce and beans. Jinsei's inventions are exceptional in taste and appearance.

Later in the day, multiple kings, royals, and hero adventurers arrive, and we have a splendid time. Many express their desire to form alliances with us. However, one particular king, Silvair Fairjust, seeks to establish an unfair trading system. When I refuse, he threatens war. Frustrated by the circumstances, all I wanted was to be lazy, but now I find myself burdened with an empire and an upcoming war.
