Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

Chapter 150 The Demon Emperor's Pregnancy is Gone

[Kurasma City - Chisilica's Perspective]

"Awoooooo~~~"

What a beautiful day!

It was neither too hot nor too cold, neither too dry nor too wet, just right for me, who was still growing, to spread out on someone's roof tiles, gazing at the distant sea and enjoying this rare tranquility.

Ah~~~

The sun shines on my body, feeling warm and cozy.

The rooftop was also slightly hot from the sun; it would be best to use a burlap sack to block out the sunlight.

hmm~

Moreover, the sea breeze blowing from afar prevents it from feeling stuffy.

It's just like before...

But...

Is this the trouble that comes with being full?

When you're starving, all you can think about is food.

Looking at the unreal blue sky above me now, I finally have the energy to start thinking about a question that has been bothering me for a long time: When will I finally be able to live a good life?

How long has it been since you last had a full meal?

I can't remember...

Anyway, I'm not too hungry right now...

Now I no longer need to hide my true identity and disguise myself as a beggar to recruit subordinates.

Hmm... Rudius?

That guy was really kind!

He's about as powerful as Laplace, but he's much more generous than that annoying guy!

They prepared a lot of food for me, enough to last me at least a year!

And I still remember the moment the oil melted on my tongue...

No!

Don't think about these things!

This will only make you hungrier the more you think about it, and then you won't be able to last a year!

So what should I think about?

Correct!

Now is the time for me to rest well and use my clever mind to plan for the future!

Logically, this shouldn't be the case.

I am the Demon Emperor, a generous, wise, and kind Demon Emperor!

It is the being that governs all the demonic eyes, and is one of the oldest wisdoms on this continent.

But what is our current situation?

Kids these days don't idolize me anymore...

They even idolize that annoying guy!

Ugh......

Even now, he's sleeping on someone else's rooftop, starving, wanted by a dim-witted undead, and even had his wanted poster drawn ugly...

That guy Atofi!

I only drank a few jars of her wine, yet she's so petty as to issue an arrest warrant!

According to seniority, I am her superior, and also her future sister-in-law!

What's wrong with treating those drinks as an early wedding feast?

Besides, she has so much wine in her cellar, losing a few jars won't make a difference...

Instead, she went and plastered my beautiful portrait everywhere.

But at some point, the portrait of me changed into the child I am now.

But actually, she doesn't look much like me at all!

How could those mortals possibly capture the beauty of my queen?

If you're going to draw, at least make it look decent...

And that guy from Badriganddi...

What a bastard!

He's clearly my fiancé, yet he doesn't take good care of me at all!

This has forced me to beg for a living!

Moreover, not long ago, I was quite virtuous and rejected that young man's advances!

As a result, that bastard Badrigand!

He's already my fiancé! And he's still always messing around with other women!

If I had just persisted for about two hundred years, I could have regained my full power and grown up!

So, it turns out they couldn't even endure two hundred years of loneliness?

snort!

You stinky man!

I'll make you pay for this!

Forget it, I don't want to think about those unhappy things anymore.

You should think more about how to pretend to be someone's acquaintance and sneak into their party.

However, those arrest warrants are making things a bit difficult for me...

Ah ah ah ah ah! ! !

Why does the clever Empress always have to encounter such difficult problems?

never mind......

Don't think about anything anymore...

Sunshine, a warm breeze, and a quiet afternoon—these combined work better than any lullaby.

"Ah~~~"

After yawning, my eyelids started to feel heavy.

Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep...

But......

After I closed my eyes...

The sunlight has disappeared?

wrong!

Someone is blocking my sunlight!

"What an rude fellow! How could he—"

Logically, I should continue my tirade...

But we can't do that...

Because you might get killed!

This is my intuition!

Because what I saw was a green-haired figure hovering directly above, like a winged dark cloud.

He was backlit, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and a gentle, inhuman smile on his face that was hard to tell whether it was a kindness or a threat!

He is!

The divine weapon Alucard!

I saw this guy before with my all-seeing eye. He fell from the sky and crashed into Atofi's hometown, then beat that idiot Atofi into Atofi-chan again and again!

They even smashed her castle to pieces!

That scene makes me laugh every time I see it; it's simply the most entertaining show in decades!

but......

Now that he has appeared before me, I can no longer laugh...

Buddy...

Can you save me like you used to?

"Y-you...you...you've mistaken me for someone else...I'm not the Demon Emperor...I have other matters to attend to, so I...I'll be leaving now..."

After saying that, I wanted to use the fastest speed I've ever traveled to turn around and disappear!

"Please wait a moment."

Why?!

Why do we have to wait?!

"This is... my king. He wishes to speak with you."

At some point, a white-haired boy appeared.

Is this guy... the king that Alucard protected before?

But I can't see it very clearly...

It was the same when I used the All-Seeing Eye before—I could see everything clearly, but this child seemed to be blocked by something.

Just like Buddy...

This white-haired brat in front of me... is definitely not simple either...

Why do I always have to encounter such bad luck...?

But I am the Demon Emperor!

Even if they die, they can be resurrected in a few hundred years!

That being the case!

Even when facing death, we must show our spirit!

"So... um... so! What do you want with me?"

"I have some questions for you. Mainly, I need you to help me find some people. I need you to use your magic eye to see where they are."

"What? So you just wanted my help? But..."

"But what?"

"That's a straightforward point. But the question is—on what grounds?"

It's always the other people who offer tribute to me first! Then I decide whether to give them a reward based on my mood!

I am the Demon Emperor, not some intelligence broker!

How can you just say you'll work? I'd rather beg here, or lie here starving, than work!

"..."

Was I speaking too loudly just now...?

Is he going to kill me?

"That's quite unique... What you said makes a lot of sense, so what do you want?"

Eh?

Is this guy actually the easy-going type?

They beat Atofi up so badly before...

Since that's the case, I'm determined to fleece him!

So...

What does this Empress desire?

First of all, my stomach... I feel hungry...

I really want to have a decent meal right now...

But if I ask for a meal, wouldn't that seem too low-class?

I am the Demon Emperor!

How can you work for someone else just to get a meal?

No!

Think about it again!

Eh!

Got it!

You can make the same request as that brat!

Next, we need to unleash the aura of the Demon Emperor!

"I want endless wealth!!!"

"Hmm...it's not impossible...but are you sure?"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to back out?"

Could it be that he, like me, is penniless?

"No, what I mean is, can you hold out right now?"

Damn it! It seems that's really the case!

"Then—" changing her approach, "I'll hand over half the world to you to rule!"

"No." He refused even faster than before, "I haven't ruled the world yet."

"Isn't that the same as me...?"

"It's different, because I will rule in the future. However, the world only has meaning when it's in my own hands! I can't possibly share half with you."

"Tch... stingy..."

"Do you have any other requests?"

"well......"

This guy might be a pitiful person like me...

"At least... treat me to a meal."

He fell silent again...

And this silence lasted quite a while...

It's been so long that I'm starting to worry that he might not even be willing to treat me to a meal!

"...You! You can't even afford a meal? You stingy bastard!!!"

As soon as I said those words, I even felt so wronged that I wanted to cry...

"I have a proposal."

"Huh? What do you mean? You're not trying to fool me like those scammers, are you? I'm smart enough not to fall for your tricks!"

"What I mean is that I can fulfill all your previous wishes, but you must follow my arrangements."

"Hmph! You liar, tell me your lies first!"

"My proposal is to provide you with food and lodging, have people to serve you, and give you the treatment befitting a Demon Emperor. I will also use force to compel other Demon Kings to become your subordinates, making you the nominal ruler of the Demon Continent."

"Really...really? No! What's the price?!"

I'm not stupid!

This guy must be up to something!

"The price... the price is that I am the actual ruler here, and you must obey my commands. You are merely a mascot, while I am the secret emperor."

After hearing these words, the clever Empress did not hesitate at all!

Then I made the wisest decision of my life!

I solemnly knelt down on one knee in front of the boy standing before me!

"From this day forward, I hereby declare! You are the secret emperor of the Demon Continent!!!"

Looking down at the ground, I naturally couldn't see what the boy's expression was, but judging from the slightly trembling shadow on the ground, he must be very happy.

"No need to kneel before me, get up."

"Huh? Is it really okay?"

"Yes, that's fine. Because a so-called secret emperor is a ruler hidden in the shadows. You might expose my identity by doing this."

"Oh~~~ I understand! You're really amazing!"

"Well, since that's the case, the contract is complete. Next, I need you to use your Demon Eye to give me some information."

"Um...that's possible...but Your Majesty, could you please invite me to a meal first?"

【after a while】

[Trevor's Perspective]

Looking at this fool in front of me, eating and drinking like a pig, I couldn't suppress the joy on my lips.

I do indeed have plans to rule the world.

The Demon Continent is the simplest dungeon.

Ultimately, this is a place where strength reigns supreme, and each region has only one Demon King or similar figure. And Atofi is the strongest Demon King among them.

Simply put, they are all speed bumps.

Chisilika Chisilis.

Although she is now seen as a joke, her status as the daughter of a true demon god is real. I am not referring to Laplace, the demon god, but to the true first demon god of the Six Realms.

As the Demon Emperor, I can use the legal authority granted by her identity to issue this declaration.

Of course, there will definitely be those who are dissatisfied with her who will jump out, and then I will use those guys to make an example of them.

That's roughly the plan.

However, this is not my primary objective at present. Chishilica is merely a small investment in my long-term goals.

Now comes the important business.

"Have you finished eating?"

"Alright! Alright! My belly is already so big from your belly~"

As she delivered her powerful speech, everyone's attention was drawn to her...

hateful!

How embarrassing...

And...this guy...

This guy's belly...it really looks like he's about to give birth...

She looks like an unfortunate pregnant loli right now; if I were to beat her up, I'd feel somewhat guilty...

And if she makes a move, she might even vomit all over me...

I never expected this...

This king has actually come to this...

But......

If you feel ashamed, then you've truly lost!

So you have to stay strong!

"Now that we've eaten, let's get down to business."

"I need your magic eye to help me confirm information about my family and the magical disaster in the Central Continent."

【after a while】

"Are you...are you alright? Don't...don't be so angry...at least they're all still alive and well, aren't they?"

"Yes...you're right...at least they're still alive..."

When I came to my senses...

I don't know how much time has passed, and I don't know where everyone around me has gone.

We can't rush things now...

What's needed now is calm. Chisilica can only offer me a position, but why they're there is something I need to analyze myself.

The bad news is that the Great Transfer has expanded, affecting almost the entire Kingdom of Asura...

The good news is that not many people were relocated; it seems the rules have been changed, and the environment hasn't been severely damaged. The only places that were completely destroyed were Roya City and its surrounding areas...

But my family...

First is Rudy.

Not long ago, Chishilica met with Rudy and obtained the ability to see the future from her.

Upon hearing news of Rudy and the others, I immediately dispatched men to track them down in the direction they disappeared.

In retrospect, it seems they chose to take a detour to escape pursuit, first going to the western coast and then proceeding along the coastline to Winne Harbor.

It's such a coincidence that we missed each other again. Is this some kind of divine instruction?

Unable to determine...

Next up is Senis.

She was trapped once again in the labyrinth of Lapon, the labyrinth city on the continent of Becalet...

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!!! Don't be angry! Calm down! Calm down!"

right......

What's needed now is calm...

No major problem. Senis is not in immediate danger, and I have the technology for soul and body modification.

Senis's situation likely stems from a mismatch between her soul and body...

I can cure her...

Then came Philip and Hilda.

They live in the conflict zone with Girenau, but according to Chisilica, they are doing quite well.

It must be that Philip listened to what I said and made arrangements there in advance, and Gilead was even there as a bodyguard. He is now leading him back to Fitoa.

And there's Sylphie...

She didn't know why she had ended up with Ariel; they were currently in Milpotts territory, heading towards the royal city...

Ariel was said to be dressed in tattered clothes, so was it Ariel who was moved this time?

Next up are Paul and Noren.

Paul isn't with Noren; instead, he's teamed up with Uncle Roltz to form an investigation team, and they're currently in Milris...

According to Chisile, Paul was kneeling before an old woman...

It's probably because Misri happens to be in the middle of this world, and she can also borrow some money from Senis's family back home...

And Norren...

Norren, along with Lilia, Aisha, Nina, and Kino, were kidnapped in the Kingdom of Xilong!

The Great Transfer clearly didn't affect Sharia, and I clearly told them! They should just stay home obediently!

And why are these women together?

Could it be...?

Did Paul take Norman to Sharia to find me, or did Lilia?

Then Paul probably asked Lilia to look after Norren for a while... Did he meet with Aisha?

And Nina and Kino...why are they with Lilia and the others?

Are you looking for me?

Then on the way, they were tricked again by that precious thing from the Kingdom of Xilong?

The Kingdom of Xilong...

wrong!

I've misremembered the witch's story!

In the original story, the witch stayed in the Kingdom of Shilon and was therefore not affected, but now Sylphie should have been with the witch!

But Chisirika didn't see the witch!

Did something happen to her too?

"Kishirika!"

"exist!"

Where is Rocky Migludia now?

"Um... let me see... um... um? In this direction? She... she's been kidnapped by Atofi! She's in Lycaris City now! Right here in my old castle! Wow! Atofi's going to assault her!"

"ha???"

Why did Atofi capture Loki?

Because of the figurines I previously placed next to the throne!!!

Hold! ! !

calm down!

Let's analyze them one by one!

Hilfi is very strong! She is safe for now.

Senis is navigating the maze and is not in immediate danger!

Aisha and the others... are they that bastard prince? What a jerk!

And Luo Qixi... is the closest to me right now!

Why is it always like this!

There are three directions we need to move in!
