"As everyone knows, for a certain reason, the royal palace is still in chaos . However, a meeting must be arranged . The meeting with Emperor Orloss shall take place tomorrow evening at six o'clock . Please make proper preparations . Here's the plan for the discussion—please confirm whether it's suitable . "
"…This is a letter from the Dragon World's leaders . The assistance they wish to receive along with the compensation they're willing to pay is all written within . However, I feel that specific negotiations are still necessary . After all, they wish to obtain the assistance of powerful sealing magic expert archmages . "
"These are the records of the recent discussions with the Bardi higher-ups . As the main leader behind the envoy group, I believe it's vital for you to understand the current situation . Please, pleasedon't suddenly disappear again!"
"This is a letter from Cloud Tower . They demand an explanation for why you suddenly went missing and did nothing for an entire month .
I must add that several archmages wrote personal letters to you . "
"Reyne has returned to East Mist . There's also a letter from Sleuweir . They wish for you to summon Mars and Omar to return to your side before the entire city of Antuen is destroyed by explosions .
They also wish for you to summon Queen Glina to your side, and they have cited the reason for this as 'giving her more experience . '"
"Emergency report from Timlad—there's a kink in the newest weapon's design, and it requires your decision . The specifics are in the report . To sum it up, the new weapon's area of effect is a little too powerful . It's accidentally become a weapon perfect for committing suicide . "
"The surface beastmen have sent over a new treaty and their tributes . They apparently wish to sign a peace treaty for the next thirty years…"
The moment I appeared, the official tasks that had piled up like mountains were instantly tossed at me . I could only sigh—it was getting harder and harder for me to slack off . I also made up my mind to create a useful internal policies department . Otherwise, I would die sooner or later from overwork .
"Die from overwork? When you work less than three days out of a month? Every department has already taken care of their affairs . The rest is specifically related to you . If you acted even the least bit responsibly, none of us would have to work so hard . "
Fortunately, I had taken Lilith Milan along with me this time . Although her tongue was as sharp as ever, she still helped me greatly—after complaining, of course .
She was indeed telling the truth . This work had to do with my role as an envoy of the Mage Country, my status as royalty of East Mist, my personal weapon research, and so on . Even if I recruited ten secretaries, these tasks would still require my personal attention and decisions .
As for why there were so many documents piled up, that was because I was involved in far too many affairs . In a way, this was a good thing . The new Mist Alliance, the Church of Law, the Underground, and other such factions were imperceptibly becoming an ironclad alliance .
However, growing too swiftly would bring about the negative side effect of an unstable foundation . At the very least, there were far too many personal factors involved in tying these factions together . Although personal factors would indeed improve the alliance's stability, if something happened to some critical individual—for instance, if I was suddenly killed off—there would be huge trouble .
But finding someone to make decisions in my place was proving difficult . The best candidate would have been Elisa, but she was forced to return to the Chaos Abyss . The other youngsters could at most only act as local leaders—it would be impossible for them to command the overall situation .
"It would seem that it's time to reorganize our factions . Let's create some new jobs and delegate part of my responsibilities so that everything can carry on as normal even if I suddenly die . Right, we should also reorganize our militaries . It's far too archaic to use a system where one person commands the entire army . "
I was seriously thinking about how to delegate my responsibilities . However, a certain someone was unable to watch this anymore .
"You're saying so much, but all I see is that you're trying to slack off . "
"…As I recall, silly cat, you're called the 'All-Knowing . ' Why don't you try coming up with an idea to help me?"
"Don't joke around . If you let me do as I please, then I'd revive the elven empire from back in the day . And, of course, while doing so, I'd kill off the elven kingdoms and elven churches and disembowel every last one of those disgusting Elven Gods and Royal Elf royalty . "
Harloys' voice sounded lazy as it echoed in my mind, but I knew she was quite serious . And she was already at the doorstep of the SemiGod Undead Emperor level . It was just that her power level was forcefully held back by my own lack of power . If I truly let her free to act as ridiculously as she pleased, it would be almost impossible to clean up after her .
But now that I suddenly thought about how she was at the doorstep of becoming a SemiGod Undead Emperor, I got rather curious . My main research question was the quality of one's soul . Zero's research question had been the temperature of life . These could be considered major breakthroughs in the areas of souls and life . How did the silly cat intend to cross this threshold?
"…My research? Sure, I can give it to you . But even if I give my research to you, you won't be able to understand it . "
I got even more curious upon hearing this . Although my research regarding elemental magic was indeed quite average, I was confident in my undead magic . How could I possibly not understand? And so I asked her what her research was .
"Memories, and turning the fake into reality . "
Alright then . The moment Harloys told me this, I knew it wouldn't be necessary for me to ask anything else . Although this area of research was also related to the soul, I hadn't researched anything about it at all .
"Oh? That can cure amnesia, can't it?"
"That's completely unrelated . The goal of my research is to create reality using memories . While I can't cure memory loss, it's quite easy for me to give you some memories that are entirely my creation . Are you sure you want such memories?"
The silly cat was currently rolling around lazily on the roof . Ever since she had progressed in power yet again, she had gotten even lazier .
