One Day Harpy Tower

　The new Merinard Kingdom has been restored. The entire land was temporarily placed under the rule of the Holy Kingdom, and the royal family was also taken prisoner. It's probably because I was involved in this as well. My abilities were too useful to support groups and nations. It may be said that it was too useful.

　It supplies food at an unimaginable rate, builds a military base overnight, extracts an inexhaustible supply of valuable ores and gems from rocks everywhere, and uses them to craft powerful weapons in an equally inexhaustible supply. An inexhaustible number of Golem Corps appear out of nowhere to scatter the army. In a strategy simulation game, it would be like a perfect cheat unit from domestic affairs to military aspects.

　I wonder if the weak point is weak to assassination. No, it might not be as weak as it says.

"Papa"

"Chichiue"

"Yes yes"

　Today too, I play with the Harpies who attack at the Harpy Tower. This includes children whose father I am not, but basically all the Harpies living in this Harpy Tower are one family. There are many things that even I, who have been associated with the Harpies for many years, still can't fully understand the unique culture of the Harpies that originated from their harems and colonies, but as long as I keep the important part in mind, they are all family without discrimination. .

　In order to get along with them, it would be easier to throw away the pre-existing notions of chastity, or ethics, or common sense.

"Master, are you going to Mellinesburg for a while?"

"No, I just stopped by to see everyone's faces. I'm pretty busy over there."

"Is that so... what are you going to do at night?"

"Hmm, I'm sorry, but I'm going to pass this time. I'll come again soon, so at that time."

"I'm sorry"

　Harpie-san, who had been babysitting with a really sad face, became depressed. The Harpies who now live in this Harpy Tower are also of the sixth generation. Maybe because my blood is thin, he attacks quite straight. There are so many things I want to do with you, but I'm busy too and Sylphy is waiting over there.

"How is the Merinard Kingdom these days?"

"Well... it's the same as usual. The farms and pioneer villages that Odanna-sama created are producing good harvests, and the people live comfortably with the magic power supplied by the magic furnaces and magic towers. It's also politically stable. I do."

"Politics will be stable if long-lived species are in power."

　Right now, it's me and Sylphy's son, Ix, who is running the government of Melinard Kingdom. The person himself is already complaining that he wants to retire, but it would be too early to let Celis, who has just turned 15, take over. I'm going to go to the royal castle after this, but it looks like my father and mother are going to complain about cheating again.

"Are there any problems with neighboring countries?"

"For now. The situation in the east has stabilized, and we still have a close relationship with the Empire. It's a story."

"The Kingdom of Tigris.

　The two northern countries, which were once at war with the Melinard Kingdom due to the pressure of the Holy Kingdom, were almost crushed by me alone, and after many twists and turns, the Duchy of Dihart was absorbed into the Kingdom of Tigris and became one country. . There were a lot of things like the secret maneuvers of the ghosts of the former mainstream faction of the Holy Kingdom, and the sweet and sour stories between the children of the royal families of both countries who came to study at our house... Ah, that was troublesome. Really.

　By the way, the Holy Kingdom still exists even though its land has been greatly reduced. It no longer has the mighty power it once had, but it has become a country like a buffer zone sandwiched between the Merinard Kingdom and the Varyag Empire.

　Compared to when they were fighting with us, they seem to have become quite modest, but they have returned to the original teachings and are now spreading the teachings of harmony between humans and demi-humans. As a result, both the Merinard Kingdom and the Varyag Empire have no reason to be hostile, and now have a reasonably good relationship.

　Well, until that point, there were the civil war in the Holy Kingdom, the troubles caused by the estranged lords and clerics, and the refugee problem, but now it's a good memory... no, it's good. I don't remember. It was really hard. I really wanted you to stop throwing problems one after another with a fastball when you want to focus on domestic affairs.

"Would you like to hear the story over there?"

"That's what you're talking about."

　Over there is the story of Omikuru, a giant planet floating at the end of the sky. If I start from the beginning, it's going to sound like an outrageous novel, so to give a quick explanation, we who watched the children grow up――in other words, me and the long-lived species like Sylphy, Isla, and Melty handed over the country to the children. Escaped from Merinard Kingdom.

　It's unhealthy for us to sit on top of them forever. It's time to hand everything over to our children and we're going on an adventurous trip across the world, or rather, a honeymoon... no, we're not newlyweds. Honeymoon? Well, anyway, I decided to throw all the troubles to the children and walk around the world.

　Naturally, the children resisted. Who would love to wear the torture chair of the throne and the crown of thorns? My father and mother are still active, so they cried and told me to do my best. An old man (about fifty years old at the time) threw everything away and sprawled on the ground and cried.

　But we turned our hearts into demons and forced everything on them and set off on our journey. Well, it's irresponsible to leave everything to the boulder, so I show up several times a year to give advice and help.

　Well let's leave it at that. Anyway, we who ran away from Merinard Kingdom ended up in Omicle as a result of sightseeing and adventures in various places in the world. There was a teleportation device in a certain place. As a result of carelessly activating it, I couldn't come back from the other side for about a hundred years.

　How old are you? It's over 200 years old now. My body doesn't look like it's weakening at all. I honestly don't know if this is due to my ability or some other factor.

　I don't understand the medicine made from Grande's blood, and Isla took it. No matter how you look at it, I'm human, but I'm still young.

　Naturally, spending a long time like this meant that I had to go through many partings. Sir Leonard, Danan, Gerda, and the beastman maids had to see off their natural lifespans, and Harpies have a short lifespan, so not only Pirna and the others, but many of the children of the subsequent generations will also see off. Became. Even with my ability, even with wealth that surpasses the country, it is difficult to do anything about this.

　There were times when I was depressed, but somehow I'm still alive. can stay alive

"It's hard over there. After all, there are far fewer people than over here. It's rewarding, though."

　Omikuru was inhabited. In this legend, there were various theories such as the world of monsters or the world after death, but in reality, it was once destroyed, and a very small number of people who survived the destruction are living in a small way, frightened by the threat of monsters. was the world of

　Ira and I think that the once-collapsed civilization could not be rebuilt because the mineral resources near the surface were exhausted across the board. In any case, it is difficult to obtain copper ore and tin by hand-mining, so it is not possible to make bronze ware, and it is difficult to cast and forge iron, and many of the metal relics you see over there are alloyed, so they are just fire and charcoal. It was full of things that could not even be cast and melted properly. I remember seeing on Earth that it would be difficult for civilization to develop without the use of metal tools. My memory is hazy already.

"Difficult story"

"Gajigaji"

"Don't bite, don't bite. Are you hungry?"

"It's about time. Would you like to eat here for lunch?"

"Oh, I want to do that, but Ikusu invited me to lunch. That's another opportunity."

"I'm sorry‥…"

"I don't want to call it a substitute, but I will leave some sweets for you. Please share them with everyone later."

"Okay!"

"Hahaha, after eating rice."

　While appeasing the excited Harpies, I decided to help prepare lunch. What, if it's Ix, I don't mind if you keep me waiting for a while. Hahaha.
