#888 A Typical Meddler

Human President Ritheseus here.

On a courtesy visit, I managed to snag a bride.

Sweet!

...Sweet?

Anyway, it’s definitely a good thing.

As the Human President, I’ve been constantly nagged about finding a wife, so the timing couldn’t be bett...

#887 A Fated Reunion

It’s still me, Human President Ritheseus.

Having such a grandiose title can be a bit of a bother, especially with the over-the-top reactions it provokes. I guess Lord Saint prefers to stay out of worldly affairs because he finds all this pomp too much.

And here...

#886 Reception

It’s still me, Ritheseus, speaking.

...Ah! I meant Ritheseus, the Human President.

I’m still not quite used to this title.

Today marks the day of my courtesy visit to the Demon Kingdom.

We were once warring nations, and they even had us...

#885 The Human President Visits the Demons

At the Presidential Conference in the Human Republic...

As soon as I expressed my intention to make a courtesy visit to the Demon Kingdom, an uneasy atmosphere began to waft from the attendees of the meeting. 

It was as though they were discontent with my idea.

<...

#884 The Agony of Youth in the Ultimate Position

I’m Ritheseus, the very first President of the newly-founded Human Republic.

...

No, it just doesn’t feel real yet...!

According to Lord Saint, the President is the head of the nation, with responsibility equal to that of a king.

Who wo...

#883 The Ultimate Bean

When the ancient god Cronus was released from his imprisonment, not only did he reconcile with the world, but it swiftly tilted towards peace.

After affirming his bonds with his active son gods, Cronus returned to the underworld, Tartarus.

“I shall return for a...

#882 The Gods’ Reconciliation

The banquet meant to settle our differences with Cronus, the ancient god of agriculture, is still ongoing.

It feels like the gods are just looking for an excuse to drink and make merry, though.

But we, who earnestly wish for world peace, can only continue to offer food and ...

#881 Gods’ Banquet - The Old and New Jumbled Together

It seems we’re about to witness a grand finale in the reconciliation negotiations with the great god Cronus.

“...Very well, if such is the case. After all, the Titanomachy is but a distant memory, a tale from billions of years past. ‘Tis time it be forgotten and forgiven, w...

#880 An Array that Surpasses God

Yep, it’s me.

I witnessed a pretty brutal thrashing scene.

Guided by Gaia, Mother Goddess of All, herself, I ended up attending the post-shift gathering of the ancient god Cronus and his buddies, sealed deep underground...

Sure enough, it turned into a ba...

#879 An Ancient Deity’s Monologue

It is I, Cronus.

I am the supreme deity, sovereign over the genesis and cessation of this realm.

From the inception of time...even traversing the ancient past, I was fated to reign supreme over all creation.

Yet, such destiny was thwarted.

...

#878 A Story about Ancient Gods

It’s me, yours truly.

Whew, talk about exhausting.

Transforming into a special effects hero and appearing before such a crowd, basking in their attention — it’s no wonder my mental HP felt like it was getting chipped away bit by bit.

Leaving a saint-w...

#877 After Proving the Saint’s Identity

My name’s Yanbacchus.  

I’m the proud president of a sect in the Saint Kidan Alliance - a group devoted to worshipping the venerable Saint Kidan. Our specific circle is called The Association for Making Saint Kidan the World’s King.

There are various sections wit...

#876 The Saint Descends

It’s me on the day of the main event.

Wow... People are really gathering.

Peeking from the shadows, I see the designated venue packed with an absurdly large crowd.

It must be close to a thousand people at a glance.

Maybe even more?

...

#875 A Troublesome Fan’s Monologue

My name is Hynft.

A devoted follower of the venerable Saint Kidan.

This world is enveloped in a web of conspiracies. It’s a place where ostentatious rulers like the Demon King and the Mermaid King parade their power openly.

But the true sovereign is someo...

#874 Chase the Saint

Lord Dalkish paid me a visit.

Given that the Human Republic was recently established, I thought he might be here to report on its progress. But his reason for coming was something entirely different.

“Saint hunting is becoming quite the rage these da...

#873 Revolutionary Noodles

Today’s story is about Veil.

“Master! It’s finally complete!!!”

Her abrupt declaration caught me off guard.

Lately, Veil has been constantly researching and developing things, exuding an intellectual air that would have been unimaginable ...

#872 The Speech

I’m still here, witnessing the grand day of the founding of the Human Republic.

The ceremony venue is packed with people eager to witness this momentous occasion.

There’s a good number who seem to be thinking, “I don’t know what this is about, but it seems fun, so w...

#871 Inspection Done, Founding a Nation Next

“How did it go, My Lord? How was the job of an adventurer?”

“It was fun, but I guess it’s not really my cup of tea. Maybe I’m more cut out for farming.”

There’s a certain joy in nurturing something from scratch and watching it grow that just appeals to me more...

#870 The Dungeon Experience

It’s me again, and I’m an adventurer today.

“I’m about to start my duties now. However, since I’ve actually received a commission from Silver Wolf, I’ve got to get serious and not treat this like a game.”

A job is a job, even if it’s just a work e...

#869 Look for Your Calling

I’m Heligene.

A glorious elite soldier of the demon race.  

...Or so I once was.

Now, things are different.  

Just the other day, I was forced to retire and now find myself without a role.

A person of Belial.

#868 An Adventurer Advances into the Demon Kingdom

There exists a profession known as “Adventurer.”

Everyone loves adventurers.

Independent, not bound by any specific power, they dive headfirst into danger alone.

Their only reliance is their own wit and skill.

Sometimes, they face ferocious monste...

#867 The Saint’s Evolution

I’ve been dragged into the Supreme Tea Ceremony Tournament!

I never wanted this, not even a little bit!

Why must someone like me, who’s practically a walking cliché of a light novel protagonist, get wrapped up in such things?!

“It’ll be fine, Lord ...

#866 The Supreme Tea Ceremony Tournament

What on earth is going on in this fantasy world?

One thing’s for certain: the art of the traditional tea ceremony hasn’t been conveyed properly here.

The founder of this otherworldly tea ceremony, an elf named Aileron, has attempted to recreate our tea ceremo...

#865 The Way of Tea

One thing that’s been nagging at me lately involves, yet again, the elves.

You see, there are some elves I’m even more familiar with than Elzariel or L4C.

Yes, I’m talking about the elves living on my farm.

These folks have made the farm their home, b...

#864 Rivalry of Local Warlords

A battle was unfolding in the heart of the forest?

What’s going on?

“The tree spirits are lending a hand in our reforestation efforts.”

Ah, I get it now.

Those words alone painted the whole picture.

How sad.

Oblivious to m...

#863 The Elven Forest’s Restoration

It’s me.

Congratulations on the establishment of the Republic.

The primary issue of selecting a new representative has been resolved, and, incidentally, we’ve also captured a war criminal who was on the run, eliminating all concerns.

The Human Kingdom i...

#862 A Job Well Done

I am Malvastos.

A commissioned officer in the Demon King’s Army, Malvastos.

In terms of rank, I’m a senior general, a position just below the elite Heavenly Four.

My promotion, I suppose, was due to the heavy responsibilities that came with t...

#861 The Birth of the President

“Kugehhh! Bobobobooooooooooergh!!!”

Caught in a logical dead end, a certain influential person suffered a mental breakdown.

This influential person was one who maintained power by clinging to the notion of divinity.

He wielded authority and a...

#860 The Three Realm Deities Descend

The magic Sensei used was the ever-familiar summoning magic.

It’s a spell to call forth spirits and mythical beasts to aid oneself, but when Sensei uses it, it’s on a whole different level.

He could even summon beings far more exalted than spirits or mythical beasts. 2024-01-12 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

#859 A Saint's Authenticity

“The winner is Ritheseus!”

The battle was decisively won.

Ritheseus, a farm graduate, slaughtered all the heroes sent by the Pope and vanquished the remnants of the old regime that persisted even after the reforms.

As expected of Ritheseus, a proud grad...
