No one knows that giving them time to pray is essentially the same as saying they will kill them. Naturally, there were those who resisted and those who tried to run away. My only response was to let go of Viola’s body, which I was holding tightly.

“As little pain as possible.”

“Aha♡”

Naturally, Viola understood my intentions and went on a rampage, taking people’s lives. It appears that the saying that the environment has the greatest influence on human adaptation is not an empty statement, but it has now reached a level where people do not show it even when they see the process of forming a corpse.

I don’t know whether I should be happy or sad about this, but one thing is certain: it is a necessary process in order to live with Arjen in the future.

“Ha… what happens now.”

I looked at the blue sky and thought about the future. It was quite difficult to think about what attitude and method I should use to convey my meaning to the other person smoothly. Especially if the other person is so stupid that it exceeds my expectations like now.

“I finished organizing it, master.”

Without even having time to think about anything, Viola came to me with an innocent look on her face. After hearing that, I looked around and everyone’s heads were exploding. Still, it was impossible to remain sane after seeing such a scene, so I closed my eyes and looked away.

“I organized everything, but in some ways it’s not organized at all…?”

Now that all the lives were taken care of, it was time to take care of the bodies. Wouldn’t it be possible to say that the cleanup is complete when looking at the blood and brain matter that has become mushy and scattered? However, Viola seemed to feel like my words were a bit of a insult, and she became sullen.

“I’m sorry… You told me to kill you so it wouldn’t hurt…”

“Huh? No, no. I didn’t mean to say anything. Well done neatly.”

Even though he said so, he couldn’t face the tragedy with his own eyes. His words and actions were playing separately, but there was nothing he could do. In fact, if you explode your head like that, you will die before you even notice the pain.

“But when will I get rid of all this again…?”

“Leave it to me!”

Viola spoke confidently. I watched how she cleaned up this mess. Something new I learned about Viola while looking around was that she was quite a glutton.

Naturally, it was difficult to be next to her, let alone watch her ‘cleaning’, so I ended up leaving in a hurry.

Fortunately, Viola didn’t get depressed because she used the bathroom as an excuse.

“Hmm, is this perfect?”

I praised myself after looking at the green forest plan I had created. It was a simple dichotomy that allotted the area from the southeastern mountain range to the east of the rare standard as the elf habitat, and used everything else as agricultural land, but this involved distribution of water resources such as rivers and lakes and measures to deal with attacks by monsters like last time. It was a result that reflected several factors, including policy.

“They said the end of tuning was original… but in the end, it was no different from what I initially planned.”

I don’t think it’s a waste of time. In the end, it was time to prove that this was the most perfect design. I moved to the room Arjen was using as a workshop.

“Arjen, are you ready?”

My job is done, all that’s left is to wait for Arjen. In fact, Arjen was the key to this matter, because no matter how crazy I was, I couldn’t clear that entire forest into farmland by myself.

Although the green land is said to be fertile soil where anything can grow well if planted on the bare ground, it was not easy to till the land.

“Yes. I’m ready.”

When I opened the door, what I saw was that there were about a hundred automata dolls prepared. These were the workers who cleared the land and started farming.

“You worked hard to make it….”

Each of the dolls had subtle differences in their appearance, but their appearance was no different. Since these are things that will be used for labor anyway, I suggested making them plain all together to facilitate maintenance, but Argen did not accept it.

After making dolls for a long time, it seemed like there were some things that could not be compromised.

“Yes! Hehe, I naturally gained strength because I thought they were children who would be helpful to Eugene!”

He speaks very nicely.

“How long do you think it will take to clear land?”

“Ugh, about a month if you supply magical energy without stopping? Because the land is so large.”

Even if 100 dolls worked non-stop to cultivate the land for a month, I realized once again how wide the land was. One month could have been seen as taking too long to start farming, but since there is no reason to leave an area that is already ready for farming idle while the land is cleared, sowing can begin as early as three days later.

“Good. Then we should make a deal right now.”

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“Ah, do you remember that guy who tried to cross the line the other day? I have to go and scold him harshly.”

Now that I think about it, the very idea of making me the subject of negotiations was unpleasant. Everyone in the world knows that Arjen is fiercely raging, and I even expressed in the letter how close my relationship with Arjen is. Isn’t it an insult to me to come out like that, to put it bluntly?

The reason I made such a suggestion on a topic that could only satisfy worldly desires was because I was considered someone who could put Arjen aside and compromise with other desires.

…I can’t do it. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Stella and Prinia said that I wanted to appear as calm and authoritative as possible in front of others to manage the faith, but I couldn’t do it without at least spitting in the face of the bastard called King Kichera.

“Hmm. Cheeky. How dare you look at my Eugene?”

As I was thinking deeply, perhaps my anger leaked out, and Arjen caught my mood and immediately chimed in.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

I boarded Arzen and flew towards the Kingdom of Kichera. In order to avoid causing as much trouble as possible, the plan was to infiltrate like an ordinary person near the border.

But eventually, there was no need for that. This is because before we even left the green land, let alone the border, we discovered a group of people who appeared to be from Kichera.

“…Haha.”

I was dumbfounded by the irritation boiling up from my danjeon. In the end, the warning had no effect at all. The lives of the envoys all became unnecessary sacrifices.

A mixture of feeling sorry for their needless sacrifice and anger towards the king of the Kingdom of Kichera, who was an asshole beyond imagination who had brought about such a result, I jumped off Arjen’s back.

“Wow, Eugene!?”

Arjen seemed quite surprised by my sudden action, so he flapped his wings. Using Sirocco, I immediately stopped my fall and landed on the head of the person at the front of the group.

“Keuuk!?”

“Ugh….”

Perhaps because I did it out of anger, I couldn’t control it properly, and the pain came from the foot where I had stepped on my head. The fact that the foot on the side of the hit received this much shock naturally meant that the head on the side of the hit also received the same amount of shock, so I knew that the person who had become my stepping stone had died young.

“Who, who are you!?”

The person who appeared to be the leader of the group urgently kept me in check.

“Who are you? I’m more angry that you guys don’t know me?”

“What nonsense…”

Judging from the other person’s reaction, it seemed like this guy also didn’t know the details. But what does that matter now? My conversation partner from beginning to end was King Quichera.

“I must have warned you not to come in, right?”

Although I have never had a direct conversation with that bastard, I have definitely expressed my opinion indirectly through letters and the treatment of envoys. I tell you clearly, there is no room for negotiation and I will not leave you alone if you come in.

However, it was ignored not once but twice, so no matter how much I did, I couldn’t help but get angry.

“Lord, die!”

A soldier stabbed me with a spear. It was the right action in response to a suddenly appearing enemy, but unfortunately, in the current situation, it was only an action to hasten the order.

Ting!

Before the window could come towards me, who didn’t even pretend to dodge, it was blocked by something invisible and made a clear metallic sound. Arjen protected me with a shield. The protective shield that once blocked the window did not disappear and still wrapped around me, as if it still had its role to play.

“Uh…?”

And a shadow suddenly cast in broad daylight. There was no need to check what it was.

Coo!

A loud sound that was incomparable to when I landed. The screams of those who died below were drowned out by a loud sound as if the heavens and earth were shaking. Arjen, who landed hard, was as expected half out of his mind.

“I touched Eugene… I tried to stab my Eugene with a spear…!”

The tragedy that would happen next was obvious even without looking at it. However, I watched the ensuing scene clearly without turning my eyes away. I don’t know if it’s because of the hormones caused by strong emotions, but it has become easier to watch people die than before.
