188 Episode 182: You need a king, a proper territory (1/2)

After all, the eastern third of the Great Southern Forest has already been taken over by our Lord.

With the Shin-En-Dragon who reported to me with a smug look on his face.

...Yeah?

I'm not getting the point.

I don't get it, but what do you mean by territory?

The Lord's sister, who is under your protection, would never dare to try anything in your domain.

...Yes?

What are you saying in the past...?

See, she's been away since this morning, hasn't she?

'Yeah. You were out somewhere as soon as you ate breakfast, weren't you?

”As a matter of fact, my concubine has cut out a strip of land on the east side of the Great Southern Forest in the name of our Lord.

Cut it out.

Shin'en-ryu, are you really saying what you said earlier...?

This means that one third of the Great Southern Forest belongs to our Lord. What a surprise!

I'm really sorry about the super smugness. But can I just say something?　What are you talking about?

I had a straight face.

No, no, my sister told me that you can't play in the forest.

''We had a bunch of demons out a while ago. We're going to have to wait and see for a while longer and not go into the forest too much...

That's why I went out and gave those impudent thugs a break. And on the way out, she talked the forest dwellers into swearing their undying loyalty to the Lord.

This isn't happening to me at all!　Why do you think he's just going to have a light-hearted conversation about whether to have a katsudon or a ten-don for lunch?　I mean, what do you mean you made me pledge my allegiance?!
