The Lazy King Chapter 1: Acedia
Part 1: Ah, this is a Pain
Ah, this is a pain
I apologize for the sudden question, but do you know about the concept of otherworldly reincarnation?
I had never heard of it until I reincarnated, and I don’t think its usage was that co is just as it sounds: being reincarnated into another world In e of their past life, and gets so
I don’t really get it, but you start a new gath
And it’s not like I was strong inAh Ha Ha
For example, on a planet called earth, in a country called japan, in a place called Tokyo, I was born Well, I doubt you’re really interested, so I’ll skip that part Anyways, this world has a few people like that distributed here and there, and quite a few of them hold some important offices
Like Hero, or adventurer, or saint, or inventor, or noble, or stuff like that Apparently those people often follow that pattern
I wonder how they e to do such pain-in-the-ass jobs They’re just like normal rocks on the side of the road, and I really don’t care, but I can’t help but be impressed by their motivation
If you ask s…
… What? Why a s?
“… The Great Deo and write a proper report!”
Loud
Unable to escape the annoying voice by my ear, I stuck my elbow into the bed, and turned over
The one nagging intowas all made with black as the base color
Her disposition was as cold as a doll’s There’s no doubt that she’s quite a beauty
How useless
I stick my elbow into my pillow to propher eyebrows atof Destruction, 『Kanon』’s soade’s member, I think
“And… as that again?”
“A report! I’h ere dispatched at the same time to all the deo back yet…”
“Ah, you sure have it rough…”
“Please quit screwing around! Write Your damn Report!”
I don’t get what’s she’s trying to say
Why do I have to do so like that?
Ah, ain fell into
She violently shakes
I raise only me head, and look at the woman who’s supposed to be from the Great Demon Lord
For Christ’s sake, if you have the tio do your job Your job
“Oy, you Go write the report”
“Wha… what!? W-why do I have… in the first place, what should I write…”
“I’ll leave it to you I’m busy”
I grabbed the cover, but the woled into it
Dammit this is a pain After I’ve said thisme?
I’m tired I’m sleepy I really don’t care
And wait, what sort of report is she on about?
“In the first place, weren’t you the one to say it, De was a pain so you would talk and I would write it all!?”
“… Talking has gotten tiring, so just write whatever you want”
I tossed over the square box that had fallen off of the mattress
It’s my official seal It seeet up to find it, so, I always keep it under the covers
Regardless of whether she writes what I speak, or reports whatever she wants, I can see that the contents will be fiction, so there’s no point
The wo at me with a blank expression
“… Then, later”
“What!? Wai… Again, this is… get up!”
This ti voice, and pull the covers over my head
In a few seconds,voice is merely a sound in the distance My mind escaped my body
U I was supposed to say What was it again?
Ah… my name
My naot whatever nao
Once upon a time, on Earth’s japan, I was a Salary Man who dedicated his hours to a company, and now, I’m just a poor, ordinary De
Part 2: I’m a Pacifist
Let me be a little honest here When I first noticed that I had reincarnated into this world, ht was that it was a pain That was all
But right now, I think that rather than being a Salary Man on Earth, my current life is much easier
This ood boy Yep That must be it
If that wasn’t the case, then I would have been forced to work for the next few decades Just like the laborers that exist all over the place Well, perhaps I would find it a pain, and killthe way
In coly easy
Giving the specifics is a pain, so I’ll skip them, but from the moment I was born into this world, I haven’t worked for a second of ed to attain quite a comfortable lifestyle
It’s laziness without end There’s no greater pleasure than this At the very least, for someone who respects the poor, I’m satisfied with this life
“Unemployed!? No work experience!? How could it be that one of the Great De around!? You just don’t want to work, right!”
Right now, the only headache I have is this wo sent
I don’t know her name She’s quite a beauty And she screauess that’s about it She’s just a bit higher than the rest of the mob
Foris quite an annoyance For soether
I’ll bet the Great De tried to send over whoever would annoy me the most as a form of harassment
“… And as this about again?”
When you compare the rest of the reincarnated in this world to uess the only saving grace is that this world was exceedingly easy to live in
The value of life is just a tad bit low, but if you try a bit, you can enjoy an idle life Even if you don’t try, it’s possible
I feel like an idiot for working ht, but I wish I reincarnated earlier
“It’s a Hero A Hero! A Hero’s attacking! See, now it’s finally the tiet off of the bed already!”
“… I’m a pacifist”
I can’t understand why she’s so energetic
She raises both of her arms above her head, and makes a request to e Please give me a more decent one
(TL: A line used in… certain clubs to exchange for another woman)
I’d really like it if she stopped wakingular hours, so I’m always sleep deprived
It’s fine if she has motivation, but I’d like her to think of all the people who don’t
When you’re pointlessly bri your ti overtime Ah, I just reot his nah
“Pacifist!? The Deots finally made their way to your rotten brain!? This is a direct order! The Great De of that? The Great De has personally dispatched you, and it’s supposed to be an honor…”
I understand Honor
I just can’t defeat this drowsy feeling
“… Change Change Go bring in the lazy attendant I had before”
“Eh? Change?”
“Yes Change You loud I hate”
“Whaaaaaaaaat?”
The woesture It’s as if I can see the veins just poping out of her forehead
The woman in front of me is a demon
I’
But even if you categorize them under one name, there are various types, and we’re divided by attribute
That et the nuion or legend, orYou’ve probably heard about it
Uy with seven or eight things It sounds really high and hty
“My predecessor retired! He said so pitiful to look at! Do you understand what this ot tired of his own attribute! Hey!”
“I see”
“I see!? Your impression is, ‘I see’!? Tords? Only tords!? Ah, damn it all The hell’s with this man!”
It was a topic I didn’t really have interest in
In the first place, I don’t really reuy’s face All that I remember is that it was a lot quieter back then than it is now
I am a demon My attribute is 『Sloth』
Depravity and resignation, escape and decay, suspension and stagnation, inertia and dejection A De
Fro’s underling
“And do you think that’s enough… to make someone like me move?”
“Ku… This man is…”
I don’tas I want This isn’t just because I’m a devil It was like that before I reincarnated too
In order to live, I reluctantly took up work, but on my off days, I slept the whole time Because of that, I have no memory of when, where or how I died
I guess that makes me luckier than all those reincarnators ere hit by a truck or slashed by some slasher
Well, at this point, I don’t really care
The screa to issue orders
Even being a Deuess it isn’t that easy
“Go report what I’m about to say to Kanon”
With that one sentence, the woman fell silent
Despite everything, I guess she’s still a professional, and she was personally sent by that Great De She’s supposed to be skilled
Having said what I wanted, I finally resolve ain, the woman tries to pull my cover off
“Wait… Wait a God da yet, why are you sleeping again!?”
“… Take a guess”
If I get serious, there’s no way a deet in the way of my sleep
I feel the futon,pulled, as I let my mind fall into the abyss I fell into the depths of that peaceful darkness
Part 3: It’s not like I’
I don’tI do is sleep
When I get hungry, I eat, and when it’s tiet off of the bed
Right, I just don’t work It’s not like I’
“… You really are the worst That’s what society calls a NEET”
“I’le it)
“No, it’s not like you’re living like this for free or anything, right!?”
No to me, it kinda feels free
I’m not really worried about it, but if possible, I prefer et off of it For a change of pace, I did think of changing my room every now and then, but I don’t want to walk in the hallway, so the idea was rejected I’m not that desperate for a fluffy bed
The greatest reason I’ been reborn a devil, is that no et a headache
I take a big stretch after I get off the bed, and lower myself into a sturdy chair made of wood
It’s my favorite Apparently it has quite a history behind it, and it’s quite valuable, but I’ back and forth, it’s as if I’ rocked to sleep in a cradle It makes me sleepy
“Oy, wrap that around me”
“Yes As you wish, e”
The ht ss the blanket over
It’s this This is how you’re supposed to be treating the existence called the Demon Lord
Demon Lord isn’t just some random title I have my own retainers, and some land
It’s all what I was granted by the Great De, but I don’t really care What’s essential is that the people I’ve been granted all take good care of me
I don’t , but I can’t clean, cook or do laundry The only thing I can do is sleep
I say my thanks, as she wraps it around the armchair
And as I was relaxing like that, the Great De
She thrust at the chair with an incredible amount of power My body floats in the air for a while before I crash head-first into the wall
What power Every time she hits me, I start to remember my past life as a human, and confirm the fact that this is, indeed, another world
Is it justworse, and worse?
“Ah… ht!?”
“Yeah”
“Quit screwing around!”
The woman stamps her foot in frustration With just that action, the floor that’s supposed to be protected with a barrier of the highest class begins to creak
Her expression is like that of a devil Uain?
The maid lifts me by the armpits, and sets me back on the chair
She thrusts her finger at the Great De’s follower
As she’s my subject, of course, the maid is also a devil I don’t know her attribute IF I may add, I also don’t know her name
I’ people’s names Most of the time, I just don’t have any interest
“The one who should quit is you, Lize Bloodcross! Even if you’re a supervisor sent directly frooes beyond what could be called rude!”
I see So this woman had a name like Lize
Now that youthat she introduced herself when she was first stationed here
“The hell are you saying!? It’s because you guys are like this, that that De!”
Even I couldn’t stay silent at such a remark
“No, even if they weren’t here, I have no intention of working, you know”
“As expected of Leigie-sama!”
Theeyes of admiration I wonder if she realizes that I don’t know her name
And I wonder just what part of
Well, all of it doesn’t really matter
With feelings of resignation, I closed my eyes
“Wait… Don’t sleep! Didn’t you just get up!?”
“Lize, the De! Please be quiet!”
“Haaaaa!? Why are all you people so soft on this De a Demon Lord anyways!? All he does is sleep!”
Ah, she’s loud
Ah, all of this is a pain
There are plenty of demons, but very few Demon Lords
Thea Demon Lord is simple
Class: 『Demon Lord』
The ones who have that are the Demon Lords
Classes are a concept that didn’t exist in my previous world, but to put it simply, it’s like your occupation
By rising in Class, humans are able to access various inco called Skills I don’t know the details, and I don’t knohat system they work I don’t even know if there’s a set syste in your class, you can get to use some convenient powers, and that’s all Even without any effort
What’s more, reincarnators usually end up with soe
In my case, I was born with 『Demon』 as my class
After a few years of living a depraved life, it beca Classes change is apparently so that there was some criterion on ould advance Classes, but I don’t really remember
Anyways, in the end, I beca in any effort, and I was suddenly able to use soe powers freely
In that sense, giving an answer to this woman’s question would be easy
I beca It wasn’t by my will
That’s all I can say, and I don’t have any answers besides that
But it’ll be a pain, so I won’t speak up
“Dehter Dolls! As a ’s personal 『Order of Black』, I co 『Kanon』! Lead your Legion, and head to the Prison of Flaainst us, Granzer Esther!”
“Don’t want to”
Why? For what reason would I have to go to souy I don’t know?
“Huh? You plan to refuse a direct order under the Great De of such an act?”
I truly did not care, so I was going to answer, ‘No Idea’, but I felt that would s complicated, so I stayed silent
It’s a proble to cos, and I hate troublesos even more What I love is sleep and spare ti else
I call over the le word
“Iyo”
“… Understood”
The maid respectfully bows her head
She made quiet steps as she departed from the rooet sain
It was an ath My favorite chair was sround as I crashed into it
The wo like mine’s
