When I Went to Another World, All the Women I Met Fell in Love With Me and Things Got Out of Hand – A Carefree and Heartwarming Harem of a Man Who Fell in Love With a Death God, as He Pours His Thoughts Into a Sketchbook and Dominates All. C166

Chapter 166: There's plenty of refills. 

“Then let me listen to you.”

When we finished our second cup of coffee, we finally started talking. 

You must have been laughing too much. 

　His Majesty the Emperor's abdominal muscles must be in tatters. 

"Our request is for the conclusion of a treaty that includes the immediate cessation of invasion operations and the return of those who were abducted. Also, we would like to request trade, including the export of coffee."

His Majesty the Emperor opened his deep intellectual eyes slightly and spoke. 

``Let's give permission for trade. However, this is the first time I've heard of people being taken away. True or Alice?”

Galactica asked gently, not as an emperor, but as a father. 

“Yes, father. This is the evidence that we risked our lives to collect.''

Alice hands over the materials that Zero and the others have collected. 

『Hmm, Hildegarde』

“Ha, perspective scan!!”

Hildegarde's skills are effective not only on people but also on things. She can't deceive her. 

``T-this...is awful. There is no mistake. There's a lot of criminal activity going on.'

Hildegarde's face turned pale from the outrageousness. 

``Kakeru-dono, it seems that atrocities are being committed without my knowledge... all of this is due to my unethical actions. I'm sorry.''

His Majesty the Emperor bows his head. 

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is not directly involved in this matter. 

“Then, could you please stop the operation immediately?”

Galactica sighs deeply at those words. 

　

``The operation will not stop even if I give the order. The real power of this country is already in the hands of Julius, the crown prince.''

Julius, who possesses great power, is also popular with the people, and has already consolidated a majority of his cronies on the Council of Electors, which has the power to appoint the emperor. 

In other words, Julius could become emperor at any time if he wanted to. 

“Perhaps Julius is thinking of taking his place as emperor at the end of his life, with the victory in today's match and the labor brought from the Demon Continent as a gift.”

The Demon Continent is the continent we live on. Ironically, they both called each other the same thing. 

``However, it's not like I don't understand Julius' thoughts. Kakeru-dono...the Majin Empire is slowly heading towards destruction. Children are no longer being born.''

The Demon Empire has been suffering from an extremely low birthrate for many years, and it seems that the aging population and labor shortage are only getting worse. 

『Therefore, Julius thought of making up for the declining birthrate and labor shortage by interacting with other races.』

　

“If you ask me that much, it seems like there’s nothing wrong with it, but…”

``That's right. In the first place, the underground tunnel project was started not for invasion, but for exchange and trade... However, Julius has changed.''

Galactica speaks with a heartbreaking expression. 

Has it changed...or has it been changed... 

You won't know until you meet him in person. 

"I understand. The point is, everything will be resolved if we convince His Highness Julius. If possible, I would like to participate in today's match, but..."

"That's possible, but... how are you going to convince Julius?"

"It's already been decided! I'm going to punch you and make you wake up."

　He raised his fist in an easy-to-understand manner. 

“I see… I’m going to punch Julius… Puff, pukukukuku. Wahahahahaha!! Ah, that Julius...puu, kukukuku...''

Sorry...have I fallen into His Majesty's strange trap again? I'm not sure, but it seems like it's going to be a long one. 

``His Highness Alice, Lord Kakeru, please have some coffee until His Majesty calms down.''

Wow! As expected of the Emperor's chief butler. You're so considerate! 

Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click! 

Wow!? The chief butler, isn't His Majesty the emperor in the same spot of laughter!? The coffee cup is cracking due to vibration, but oh!? 

＊＊＊

“……Sorry, I needed some treatment for my abdominal muscles.”

 I guess. Yes, divine water please. 

I've been drinking too much coffee and I feel like I need to go to the bathroom. 

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I have a final request."

“Hmm, what is it?”

“Give me your daughter...Alice.”

``Huh!? Ah, ah, I'd like something from you too, Father.''

Alice lowered her head in panic. 

``Oh... that Alice... ummm... hmm? What is it? Hildegarde?''

Hildegarde whispers something to His Majesty the Emperor. 

``I see...I see...puff, pukukukuku. Wahahahahaha!! Is that the condition...Pup, Kukukuku...''

What did you say, Hildegarde-san!? 

No, Chief Butler, I'm already full of coffee! 

＊＊＊

"……Do you get it. Let her accept her engagement to Alice. However, the condition is that Hildegarde be married as well. nice?"

Yeah!? Are you serious!? Are you okay, Hildegarde-san? 

"I understand. I promise to do my best to make you happy."

There's no way you could refuse after seeing Hildegarde-san's face like that. 

``Hmm...I guess it can't be helped. But... now it's all good and he's my fiancée... nhehe.''

Alice is happy too, so that's good. 

“But, Kakeru-dono, Julius is strong, isn’t he?”

　Julius is probably strong. 

 However----

"Don't worry, I'm the strongest."

Wash your neck and wait. Julius. 

"I'll definitely stop you."
