ONE COULD BE THE KING OF ANOTHER WORLD
Volume 1 (Ch 0 PROLOG Part 2 )

This was the kingdom of Moniyan, a medium-sized country to the southeast of the continent. It was in order under the monarchy.it was a state originally founded by many races working together, and, although the king was a human being, other races were accepted here without discrimination. Regardless of race, everyone holds citizenship, and aside from the "king," they can take any job they want. Even the prime minister who had complained to the previous king was half-elf, with human parents and elves.

Since they did not restrict the Demon Lord Domain, there were several monster attacks. However, the country was initially weak, and the national treasury was not in good shape. The food shortage had been terrible in recent years, and it had only exacerbated the refugee problem that was seized by the expansion of the Demon King Domain that floated here.

There are dark storm clouds on the domestic and international fronts.

Apparently, their relationship was strained with the Gran Chaos empire, the largest country in the continent, excluding the Demon Lord Domain,. The Empire was a country that had the longest border with the Demon king Domain. It was also the country that had directed the first invasion of the Demon Lord's Domain. After losing them to the Demon Lord's Domain, the empire seemed to be asking for subsidies from other countries. Simply put, they requested that the countries that fell from the Demon Lord's Domain provide financial support to those close to it. Although this is a "demand," when they come from the most humane country of all mankind, they are closer to an ultimatum. One of those governments has been able to get to this kingdom, but under the current circumstances, it will be difficult to pay.

Finally, the king spoke of the "call of heroes," that had brought me to this world.

Apparently, in a request for war subsidies coming from the empire, there are words saying, "if you can't pay, do the hero summoning ritual passed down in your country, and the turn of the summoned hero is more imperial."It was clear that this country had no means to pay, and perhaps that had been the intention of the empire all along. Maybe they wanted to use a hero for his battle potential, maybe they wanted to dissect one and learn it, or maybe they were not interested in someone to begin with, and they just wanted to use the failure of the kingdom to respond to their request as a casus belli to attack. With no way of knowing what the empire wanted, speculation only led to more speculation, and the kingdom became suspicious of everything.

In response to their situation, the kingdom has decided to perform a hero summoning ritual. They have yet to decide whether to change the hero or not, but if they succeed, will at least give a card to negotiate. To that end, they need to respond to the request, and show that they intend to perform the ritual.

... Now that you've heard this much, I'll bet you've probably guessed that the king never thought he could actually summon a hero.

"Hey!" I shouted at him meaninglessly, and the king jumped back in fear.

"Geek! I'm so sorry! "

"oh, sorry," I said. "I lost my cool for a second there."

Even though he acted like this, he was still a king. I must refrain from further empire.

Still is ... Was I really summoned by chance, without anyone really expecting anything from me? After taking a moment to calm down, I asked the king.

"...So, what's your plan?"

"A-about what?"

"the whole 'turned me into the imperial thing."

"that ... What am I supposed to do? It's really pickled. "The king really looked troubled.

That surprised me a little. I was expecting "the empire to be scary! Please, go and serve them for our kingdom! "when she cried and begged me to do it. Besides, he looks so scared.

"what's here for you to torture?" I asked, "you're afraid of the empire, right?"

"I'm afraid that's why I'm suffering so much over this! "

" If I interject, allow me to explain," said the half-elf minister, stepping forward, "at this moment, there is a clear difference in strength between our country and the empire. We're just not in a position to say not instantaneously the empire asks for something. While we were stuck in that situation, you were the only lucky card that fell into our hands. However, once we played that card, there was nothing left to use when negotiating with the empire. Even if we can survive this moment by doing what they say, what will we do when something comes up? Next time, we might just manage to hand over our only card."

I'm silent. It's not hard to see what he's saying.

What happened to North Fujiwara after they handed over their only card, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, is a good example. They love intimidation, releasing the only card in their hand, will only have a dark ending waiting for them.

"It is said that the hero is 'the one who leads the changing times, "The prime minister's answer.

Hm... So it wasn't just someone who killed the Demon King?

"Isn't that a little weird?" my many.

"we don't have much way of documentation, you know."

"...Please don't hold a ritual if that's the case."

"i cannot apologize enough for this situation" the prime minister said.

Giving me a routine bureaucratic apology won't help ... However, this is a problem. There is not enough information to follow up. What we need most right now is time.

"Sir, I have a proposal,"

"Whatis that? you can speak freely."

"Can we talk about what will happen from now on? Not standing here, somewhere where we can sit and discuss it at length. It's just, you, and the prime minister."

"Hm. What do you think, marx?"

"That will be fine," the prime minister, his name is marx, nodding in agreement.

Since I had their agreement, I made another request. "Please, collect the materials you can in this country. With a particular focus on balance of payments reports, as well as materials on agriculture, forestry and fisheries, economics, trade and industry, and land, infrastructure and transportation. We might be able to get the money the empire is asking for. Also, I want the material you have about heroes ... But, yeah, it can wait."

"very well, I will ask them to gather soon" said the king.

We rested at this point, and I was summoned to the king's government affairs office later.

Sitting on a comfortable sofa opposite the king and prime minister marx, we held meetings after meetings. That is, we are basically talking about everything there is to talk about. Industry, economy, tax system, agricultural policy, military preparation of the country, foreign affairs ... We'll discuss everything.

The meeting lasted for two full days. This is partly because I ask questions about every minute detail of the material I ask them to collect, and partly because they stick to my proposed policy to a strange degree. From the middle of the meeting, the King watched me attentively, It was as if he had become a completely different person.

Now two days later. The soldiers guarding the door would tell everyone that, when the king left the room, his expression was very bright and cheerful, and his face was the face of a man who made up his mind.

The day after our three-man meeting ended, the King gathered the castle VIPs in the audience room, and declared loudly, "My people, I ask you to pay close attention to my words."

"I am the thirteenth king of El Moniyan, Albert Moniyan, hereby abdicating my throne to the summoned hero, David mashlow! Furthermore, I hereby announce the engagement of my daughter, Liscia Moniyan, to sir David."

The room became quiet, everyone had been attacked mutely. The only audience who remained calm was, perhaps, the queen.

...This announcement really blinded me....
