Chapter 874: Ristia Asmodeus ④ (2/2)

[Could it be that that was the reason why Laguna-san invited me and my lovers to go swimming before?]

[I think that's definitely it. Because of the tremendous momentum of Symphonia Kingdom's rise, she quickly made a move to deal with it…… At least in that respect, I was too late.]

Hmmm, I guess Laguna-san really is an excellent King huh. Perhaps, during the 1 year and 8 months that I had been back on Earth, she's been preparing for a new tourist attraction, and invited me right after I came back.

Moreover, while she was trying to not be suspicious of her ulterior motives, honestly telling me that she wanted to have a tourist attraction, she succeeded in keeping her national agenda, whose information I don't particularly need, out of the picture…… Hmmm, how capable of her.

While I was admiring Laguna's capabilities, Risty-san nonchalantly spoke.

[In comparison, Archlesia doesn't have much of a forte. And yet, the nobles have a lot of power, so there's a lot of conflicts~~. Furthermore, by the time Chris-san ascended to the throne, the country was slowly going into decline due to the debt the country had accumulated.]

[……It just so happens that when I became Emperor, it was just the right time for Archlesia to make a change.]

[And Chris-chan, who was healthy and earnest, was ready to give everything she had for her country, and sharpened her skills an Emperor, sometimes ruthlessly…… and not having any composure, she became such a boring person. Well, that kind of hardship is also an experience, I suppose. As long as she doesn't go in the wrong direction, I think it's good.]

Chuckling as she said that, although her tone was somewhat teasing, I could still feel her gentleness. It might just be my imagination, but I think that the fact that she wasn't interested in politics but knew a lot about it meant that she was planning to help Chris-san when things went badly.

Thereupon, Risty-san clenched her fists and exclaimed, sounding slightly angry.

[However, I did protest vehemently when Shalltear-sama called Chris-chan is just worth ”a single copper coin”!]

[……What in the world are you doing, Mother? Or rather, how did you know about that……]

[I was peeking with magic while that exchange was happening…… Incidentally, Shalltear-sama smacked my head when she detected what I was doing, saying ”If you have time to snoop around, quickly submit your regular reports”.]

[Well, what she's saying is understandable……]

Hearing what Risty-san said, looking rather vexed, Chris-san looked at her with an indescribably dumbfounded expression on her face.
