Chapter 162 (2/2)

And just like that, the social gathering is over.

”Well, it was fun…” (

I was worried that the King would feel bored because there're nothing to gain from talking with the King of another country of a low civilization level that doesn't benefit his own country.

Well, the luncheon and the social gathering seemed fun, but he said that only for politeness' sake…

I set this meeting up because of the strong request from His Majesty who knew about this visit trip, and I thought that it would be an appeal to the King's national interest and other countries if they know that [He met and talked to the King of her Country].

His Majesty is a good person, but he's a newcomer with a completely different civilization background and he had to talk through an interpreter, I don't think it was that fun for him.

”That's right. It seems like we see our country several decades ago… I'm sure this. .h.i.ts the nostalgic vibes for Your Majesty too…” (Bureaucrat-san)

”Umu. It seems that the king of this country is also worrying and suffering in the same way as I was. How nostalgic…” (the King)

Ah. Speaking of which, he certainly succeeded the throne at a young age.

At that time, it seemed to be a small country that had no resources, was not even a “developing country” because it had no sign of being developed at all. 40 - 50 years ago, there were plenty of places without electricity, gas or water on the Earth. …No, even now, there will be many such places on the Earth.

When I chose a small, honest country to invite to the first round-the-world conference, of course, I also looked at the leaders in each country.

According to the report, the king succeeded in his mid-twenties, when the country was continuously suffering from starvation due to drought, famine due to pests, epidemic spread, and being swung around by the wonder of neighboring countries and the great power behind them.

Perhaps he's feeling nostalgic seeing the appearance of this another world country overlapping with his own country on its olden days.

And the king who probably appeared to be much older than his actual age, soon dying from the remaining endemic disease that has killed many after dedicated all of his life for the country and its people.

Hopefully, he will stay in the sight of a G.o.d somewhere, get cheat abilities and reincarnate in a different world, and he can live a life for himself rather than for the others…

”Then, just like the usual travelling-custom, you'll have a free time to buy souvenirs” (Mitsuha)

No, even though I said it's free time, of course I'm still stuck with them for security and interpretations.

In other words, this time is not the king that has to follow me around, but I will follow the king who free to decide where to go.

Since we spent a lot of time at lunch and social gatherings, we had only a couple of hours left before sunset when the store started closing. I have to translate every conversation, so it'll take some time.

”Please take this” (Mitsuha)

I opened the drawstring bag I took out of my pocket and took out several coins out of it. I divided them into two shares and offered it to the king and his aide.
