Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Some time later - Ankylosaurus Sky Fortress]

Per used the excuse of wanting to discuss with me how to deal with the future resurrection of Laplace to pull me out of the principal's office at the magic university.

He brought it to his air fortress.

After emerging from the teleportation array of the Ankylosaurus's aerial fortress, I stared at the building in front of me in a daze for a long time.

Because I have always had little resistance to such fantastical, colossal buildings.

Per, on the other hand, looked proud.

This guy has actually been wanting to show off to someone for a long time, hasn't he?

But let's get down to business first; we were indeed delayed for too long on the road.

And we don't know how far things are going with Boss Long.

"I need your knowledge of summoning and teleportation magic."

But a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Per's face...

Seriously...

So what if I didn't support you?

So Per put on his usual airs again and began to negotiate with the king in a serious manner.

"I heard from that guy that you're preparing for the upcoming magical energy transfer disaster, right?"

"That's right."

"But there haven't been any signs of the magical disaster you're talking about yet, have there?"

"That's right."

"Then how can you expect me to believe you?"

"What are you saying? I really have no intention of doing this."

Why?

"Because I feel you won't refuse."

"Hmph, how self-centered..."

"Sorry... I'm used to it."

"Yeah, my familiar sent back information about you during the battle at the beach, and I really wanted to believe you. But to be honest, if that guy Alsterd hadn't come over and told me something, I would have actually been fooled by you."

"I see, I understand. Because they were deceived by me, they lost the ability to trust me..."

"That's right, that's exactly it."

"Then why don't you tell me what you want me to do?"

"..."

Per... remained silent for a long time...

"The power you and Alucard have displayed... is too great, so... I... want to know what you really want to do. I want to look you in the eye and make you tell me yourself."

"..."

he......

The boss of Bilong is harder to deal with...

This time, I'll speak the truth...

"I want to change this world!"

Why?

"Because I hate this world!"

"Is this world really that bad? I've seen worse. Compared to the war between humans and demons, this is much better now."

"But I've seen a better world."

"That's idealism. A rational person should change themselves to adapt to the environment. Only irrational people would want to change the environment to adapt to themselves."

"So, 400 years ago... do you think you and your companions were rational or irrational?"

"...The situation was different then; it was a life-or-death crisis for humanity..."

"I know, but is that enough to satisfy you?"

"I'm just worried things will get worse. You have so much power; when you make a mistake, who can stop you?"

"I'm worried too, which is why I need knowledge, wisdom, and companions. Would you be willing to lend me a hand?"

"...The world is already...good enough..."

"If that's the case, you should speak with more confidence. You should be enjoying the beauty of this wonderful world, instead of staying alone in a castle in the air."

"But like the founding kings of the past, you are just a human being with a short lifespan and limitations. When you die, your successor will also..."

"But you can live a long time, right?"

"..."

"Death is the end of everything, but it's better than doing nothing. Those who have power must take responsibility."

"..."

"You previously said that a rational person should change themselves to adapt to the environment, and only irrational people would try to change the environment to adapt to themselves, but history is created by the latter type of people..."

I've said quite a few nice things today, and even I find them disgusting...

I prefer action to words. In the upcoming magical calamity known as the Great Transfer, I will show you my resolve.

All you need to do is listen to me!
