Chapter 33 – Let’s Break Rize-kun’s House!

「---Hahahahahahah! The super talented lord, Rize-kun, wakes up brilliantly!!!」

With an IQ of 99999, my mornings come early! Waking up before the chicken crow, I quickly get ready and check the mail!

Then….fuhehehehehehe, they came today! The thank you letters from all the noble kids I educated!

Ehto, what’s this?

『My lord, Rize-sama! With the power you bestow me, I was able to win the title of the head of the family from my father and brothers!』

『Apostle of god, Rize-sama! Every day is fulfilling because of the religion that calls for the “extermination of arrogant nobles!』

『Savior, Rize-sama! The people have also joined the Demiurge Religion and it has become a homely territory with constant smiles! I will continue to train to become a person of character like you!』

Hmmm, that’s so true! It looks like my students are doing great today! I’m so embarrassed that everyone’s praising me so much!

I have to say, they are really innocent children after all. At first, they were all a bit skittish but after a little abduction, tying them up, drugging them, and giving them mental lessons, they became real humans! The future of this country is bright as more and more people that learned from Rize-kun’s humanity are becoming the head of their families. Hehehehe!

I was grinning inwardly, thinking that the king would be happy that I was bringing peace to the country.

「---kunkunkunkunkun! I can smell, Rize-sama! Ah, Rize-samaaaa!」

「Oh?」

Suddenly, the ground cracked open and Alicia, with a shovel in her hand, jumped out! What a surprise.

「You were a mole?.....you worked hard to evolve into a human.」

「Ufufufu, Rize-sama is joking! In fact, we are making some hidden passages that lead to the underground chapel in preparation for an enemy attack! In addition, I plan to dig into the church, the city, my house, and Rize-sama’s bedroom….!」

「My bedroom is on the 3rd floor.」

「What!?」

The silver-haired sister(ex-mole) drops her shovel and kneels on the ground.

Hmm, Alicia is being so noisy and funny today. It’s all thanks to her that I realized I’m a man with common sense.

My dead father was like, you know. To Rize-kun, who was a man of common sense, kindness, and personality, he said “I’ve given up on your ability to grasp the situation like a child who's too mentally positive so at least make yourself look smart with your attitude and the way you talk….!”. I’m sure he’s joking around so I’m going to forgive you!

「By the way, Alicia, you received letters from the noble boys, right? Thanks for teaching them about Demiurge Religion.」

「Ah, right!?......ufufufufu, it seems like Demiurge Religion is steadily increasing its area of influence. It’s only a matter of time before the king hears about it…」

「That’s right.」

Ah, if the king knew that the pagan Demiurge Religion was spreading---I’m sure he’d praise me!

Because this Rize-kun was given with the title “Living God’ or whatever it is by the leader Alicia so I’ve practically taken over the Demiurge Religion!?

I just realized…..if he learns that the religion is ruled by the gentle, wise, and humble Rize-kun, the king will be pleased rather than angry! “Mou, since Rize-dono, the super-capable lord, has taken over it, it means we are heading straight to peace! In honor of your patriotism, I will make you the next king!”. I’m sure he’ll say that!

Because I’ve never failed in my peacemaking efforts! Even if I failed, my IQ of 9999999 will not recognize it as a failure which means it’s not a failure! Even if some people had some kind of grudge against me for some reason, I could just wipe them off the face of the Earth like Jaicov and Snail and it will result in peace!

Yes---I realized that while I was working with integrity as a bottom lord. The smiling faces of my beloved people made me realize it! That I, Rize Beibalon, is a man with the ability to be a king! I am the right man to lead this country!!!

「---thank you, Alicia, and everyone in this land. Because of everyone’s love, I was able to find a way forward.」

「R-Rize-sama….you’re finally going to do it….?!」

「Yeah---I’m going to be the king of this country!」

And I will make all the people of the Kingdom of Gnossia smile! Uoooooooo, I’m on fireeeeeeeeeeee!!!

….so, while we’re at it, let’s come up with an aphrodisiac plan so that the king will like me and give me his throne!

Hmmm, yes. My clever guess is that Johan, whom I educated, will get along with the king after a father and son quarrel and the king will say, “Oh, what a wonderful man you are, Rize-dono, to make my son into such a fine man! I must thank you in person for this!” There’s a pretty good chance that he’ll be coming here!

Well, for the time being, I’ll polish the castle shiny! This kind of attention to detail is important!

「Now, Alicia, notify the people. Tell them to prepare for a grand welcome for King Yaldabaoth. The day of the celebration is approaching….!」

「Ufufufu, it’s fine, Rize-sama. We’ve all been honing our skills for that day….!」

Ah, right!? You’re even going to do a one-shot performance in front of the king!? Hey, everyone is so conscious!

Come to think of it, after I started producing food endlessly, all the farmers and all those who had free time were swinging swords around and playing. Was that sword dance practice?

Good, good. The people of Beibalon are all very motivated and I’m looking forward to the day when I get to meet the king!

Then, the king will give me the throne and my jet-black castle will become a real royal castle! I’m so excited!

With that in mind, I look at my castle.

Suddenly, the sound of wind rushing through the air rang out from the sky---Johan, who flew from somewhere, smashed my castle to bits!

「Jo-Johan---------!?」

What have you doneeeeeeeeeeee!?
