I consoled my wife on the car

　Negotiations with the Kalendale Kingdom basically proceeded in the form of adopting Nera's opinion, and compared to before, they proceeded much more smoothly. It was really impressive that King Kalendale and his senior retainers looked at Nera as if they were looking at the goddess of salvation.

　After that, we finished discussing various matters such as the specific content of food aid, how to dispose of local nobles, and the construction of a new mansion.

"Master, isn't it too sweet after all?"

　Kusuha asked a little dissatisfied question in the carriage on the way home after retrieving Stella who was waiting with luggage. I wonder if Kusuha wanted him to take a tougher stance in the negotiations. HM.

"Because I've been pretty cold to the Kalendale Kingdom so far. I need a track record of Nera marrying me and helping improve the relationship with the Kalendale Kingdom. Besides, the other party is a relative. There's no point in being harsh with your relatives."

　When I turned my gaze to Nera, she smiled.

"I am blessed to have a husband who takes good care of me."

"Besides, it was decided that I would also come out when I beat up a local aristocrat who defected, so my name won't be hurt.

　I've made some arrangements to control the territories of the local nobles who participated in the Clover attack. The flow of operations is simple.

　I will use my transfer gate to send an elite suppression force organized by the Kalendale Kingdom to the territory of a local noble, and after I crush the defense force and main defense equipment, I will suppress the base at once.

　The most I can do by myself is to destroy everything and clear the land, so the military strength of the Kalendale Kingdom is indispensable to properly control the territory.

"Hmm... if that's what the Lord says, I won't say any more."

"Hahaha, I'm happy that Kusuha cares about my honor. but"

　The crown prince of the Kingdom of Geppels, the vaults, and the idiots who attacked Clover this time... well, if you leave them alone, they'll shut themselves off in the Great Sea of ​​Trees, but they've bothered to mess with you.

　I can't keep getting beaten up, so I have to go out and act violently. Cumbersome.

"Taishi, are you going to Miskronia Kingdom next?"

"That's right... Hmmm"

　Looking up at the sky at Rifana's question. It's almost noon. Should I go to the Kingdom of Miscronia after eating and resting for a while? Actually, I want to show Kusuha and Rifana around the royal capital Alfen, but... the Miscronia Kingdom has less prejudice against races other than humans. I don't bother to make you feel bad in the Kalendale Kingdom.

"Let's eat at the mansion and take a rest before heading to the Kingdom of Miscronia."

"That would be good... Ah, Stella. Come to think of it, how was it?"

"Yes, Nera-sama. No excess or deficiency."

　When Nera, who agreed, asked, Stella held up a leather bag that was quite seasoned. It's not that big of a bag. Is it about the size of a school bag? It's a bag that doesn't look like Stella, who wears a tight maid outfit.

　Feeling my gaze, Stella stroked her leather bag and opened her mouth.

"This bag is a treasure bag.

"Heh, that means magic tools. If you buy a treasure bag, it's a pretty good price, isn't it?"

"That's right. I can build a mansion with just one treasure bag."

"Hmm, then it might be good to make a treasure bag and sell it as a way to make money in the future."

　I've made it for Marl before, and I remember how to make it. As a material, you need a moderately strong monster leather or stomach, but if it's Taikikai, you don't have to worry about materials.

"... can you make it?"

"Hmm? I can make one. I made one for Marle and gave it as a gift."

"...my head is starting to hurt."

　Nera holds down the temple and rubs it. Stella also has a wry smile on her face. Kusuha and Rifana have blank faces though.

"what up?"

"What's wrong? No, I've never heard of you being able to make your own treasure bag. The method of making it has been lost for a long time, and it's a rare item found in ruins, you know?"

"Is that so? Well, it's a convenient item for ordinary people."

　I nodded while remembering the salt trading trip I experienced in the Great Forest. Certainly, if I couldn't use the treasure box at that time, I would have carried heavy luggage on my back. The movement speed slows down, and the more people there are, the more food they consume. A treasure bag that can carry a lot of luggage small and light is probably a coveted item for many people.

"Fumu... Come to think of it, it can also be used for business, so maybe I should make some when I have time. It would also be useful for the highway guards and hunters."

"... That's right."

　What is that delicate interval? Or rather, why are you rubbing the wrinkles between your eyebrows as if you're feeling such self-loathing? How many times did you make that gesture today?

"what up?"

"I'm just a little self-loathing... Uh."

"self hate?"

　I tilt my head at the sudden words. Kusuha and Rifana don't seem to understand why such a statement popped out, and they have a dubious expression on their face.

"You're Mariel... no, maybe even me. I'm sure you'll grant it as long as you don't deviate from ethics if you ask me."

"Eh? Well... I won't know unless you ask me."

　Generally affirmative. As far as I can do it, if it's a wish that doesn't endanger everyone, I guess I'll do my best.

"That's right, isn't it. Huh... I have no choice but to take my hat off to Mariel."

　I sighed completely this time. Oh, I covered my face with her hands. What's wrong?

"No, what is this guy depressed about?"

"I don't know. I don't understand what Marle is saying."

"Hmm...? Did you think about using Taishi's power?"

　Nera nodded slightly at Rifana's words, and Kusuha gave a wry smile with a satisfied face.

"What do you mean?"

"In other words, master. You say that your power is too strong. If you use your master skillfully, you can easily obtain everything in this world, right?"

"Isn't that a bit overestimated?"

　As expected, I don't have that much power on my own... you don't, right?

"On the contrary, I think you underestimate yourself too much.

"I don't think it's that easy..."

　Let's think about it.

　If one country were to be destroyed, the very first thing to do would be to completely crush the top. It would be fine if I rammed into the royal castle and carefully cleared it. If you want to be wary of underground passages, you should clear the ground and plow it carefully with earth magic.

　Then go around crushing the top of the major cities in the same way. It would be best if we could sabotage the main road and the breadbasket at the same time. If the top, which is the decision-making body, collapses across the board, the country will perish even if the rest is left alone. Administrative services will stagnate, public safety will deteriorate in the blink of an eye, lawless areas will be created here and there, regions will be divided, and the country will no longer be able to maintain its appearance.

　Furthermore, if highways and breadbaskets are destroyed, economic activities will have to be significantly reduced, and food shortages will worsen public order and accelerate conflicts between divided regions. A hell will appear in this world where people fight with each other for food.

　Besides, there is also the threat of monsters in this world. Originally, the military power of this world was not aimed at humans, but against monsters. The reason why we can move between cities relatively safely is because the army regularly thins out the monsters that are rampant near the roads. If the army ceases to function, many villages responsible for food production will perish.

　Naturally, there is no way for the countries to stand by and watch my rampage. In order to destroy me, the trump card - the hero will be thrown in. Sending a large army to me, who can single-handedly slaughter 10,000 units of monsters, is nothing but foolishness.

　However, it's nearly impossible for the heroes of each country to capture me. I can instantly travel to remote areas with space magic, and there is also supersonic flight magic. After luring me out, using space magic and flight magic to block my escape, and then knocking me down with Gachinko, wouldn't it be impossible without the gods?

　Of course, there is also the option of attacking Clover, but if you move the residents to another place in advance and start rampaging, even that weakness will disappear.

　Hmm, a shelter? Maybe next time I'll find a place somewhere and make it secretly?

"You look like you've come up with something stupid."

"Sonnakotonaiyo... Well, I've come to the conclusion that if I really wanted to, I could easily destroy one or two countries. Though I need to prepare in advance."

"Isn't that so? When you receive the favor of such a master, you're likely to misunderstand it. It feels like you have a mighty power. Calynella is about to become like that. You just realized yourself."

"...I see?"

　I don't know. I'm about to become a fox that borrows the power of a tiger. Is that why you hate yourself? What does that have to do with Marle?

"Master, Marle's daughter is a masterpiece, isn't it? You've been with such a master for a long time, and even after receiving the best favor, you continue to support your master without being arrogant or arrogant."

"That's an exaggeration... no, it's not an exaggeration...?"

　I myself am basically not good at talking about politics, so there are parts where I left everything to Marle. If you think about it carefully, depending on Marl's guidance, it might have destroyed the Kingdom of Kalendale and the Kingdom of Geppels.

"I mean, there's no need for Nera to be depressed, right? If you notice it yourself and think like that, there's nothing to worry about."

"No, but I..."

"You know, I'm not an idiot who doesn't think about anything either. I have my own thoughts. If I have something on my mind, I'll say it. Isn't it like an idiot who is easily rolled on the palm of your hand?"

　I glared at the three people with Jirori. After doing that, they looked at each other and smiled.

"That's right. It was a rude thing to say to the master."

"Yes, it's just as Taishi said."

"That's right, that's right."

　If anything, I'm aware that I'm an idiot, and in reality, I'm confident that if Marl, Tina, Kusuha, Nera, Karen or Elmina try to trick me, I'll be fooled! If I think about it calmly, half of my wives will fool me, I guess.

　Well, if everyone is trying to deceive everyone together, let's just shut up and be deceived. I don't think anyone would deceive me in the first place.

"So don't worry too much if you have anything you want to say or ask, just tell me. If it's impossible, I'll say it's impossible, and if I can, I'll do it. So don't look too depressed."

"Yes you"

"Ou"

　Nera's smile, which raises her face and smiles, is as dazzling as a jewel...Yeah, I was convinced that the jewel of the Kalendale Kingdom wasn't just a fancy name.
