The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~-Chapter 192 - But I Didnt Say Anything...

I woke up to the sweet smell unique to women and alcohol and found Leanne was sleeping soundly right in front of me.

“Sleepy…”

Muttering that, I sat up, and in front of me was Lily, drinking tea.

“Oh, it’s rare for you to wake up first, Yuuma.”

“Hmm?”

“Don’t you remember what happened yesterday?”

Yesterday?

I drank alcohol.

“Did something happen?”

“If you look at the corpses lying around, maybe you’ll remember?”

Looking to both sides, I saw Leanne and AI-chan sleeping.

Diagonally to the left, Annie was sleeping.

Diagonally to the right, Pamela and Alice were sleeping.

“I messed up the pace even though I can’t really drink, huh.”

Finally, when I looked behind me, Natalia was sleeping in my futon.

“I think Natalia was the only one who stayed conscious, though.”

“Who knows? She’s weak too.”

When everyone passed out and Natalia got into the futon, Lily, who hadn’t been drinking, was the only one who returned to her room.

AI-chan and I, left without a futon, ended up sleeping in the kotatsu.

“Well, it’s a day off, so… Yuuma, want some tea?”

“Give me some.”

Lily poured tea and placed the teacup in front of me.

“Ah, this is good.”

Tea the day after drinking is really nice.

“Hey, Yuuma—do you really plan on marrying all of us?”

“Who knows? It’ll happen as it happens.”

“I kind of get it, but never giving a clear answer must be the trick, huh?”

No, I just reincarnated, you know.

“Dunno.”

“Hmm… We might end up going to someone else, you know?”

“I’m not about to give you all away to someone else at this point.”

We’re comrades, after all.

“Oh… Leanne’s probably gonna make a fuss.”

“Who knows?”

She looked happy, though…

I gently stroked Leanne’s head as she kept her eyes closed.

“You had twelve wives, right? How was it?”

“Even if you ask that, I don’t have any memories… But I do remember that when I died at 99, I had no regrets.”

“I see… Well, whatever. Yuuma, go take a bath. I’ll wake everyone up and prepare breakfast.”

“Yeah… Wake them up for me.”

They’re all already awake, though.

I can tell by their breathing.

I stood up, went to the bath, soaked in it slowly, and sobered up.

Then, after getting out of the bath, I had breakfast with everyone who had woken up, and we spent the rest of the day relaxing in the room.

The next day, while I was again spending a quiet day in the room with everyone, Leanne, who had gone to the royal capital, returned.

“Yuuma-sama, my uncle wishes to meet.”

“Got it. Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

As Leanne said that, she took my arm and pulled me up.

Then, intertwining her arm with mine, she teleported us.

When we arrived at the usual royal chamber, AI-chan was clinging to Leanne’s waist.

“…You’re amazing.”

Leanne muttered while looking down at AI-chan clinging to her waist.

“I will not allow you to leave me behind.”

AI-chan had jumped onto Leanne just as she teleported.

“You guys sure seem to be having fun as always…”

The king muttered in exasperation.

“Having fun is a good thing. No matter the situation, people cannot live without joy. This is very important. A piece of advice from an elder who has lived nearly a hundred years.”

“I see… That’s right, you look younger than me, but you were reincarnated… Sit down.”

At the king’s suggestion, we took our seats.

Then, Leanne moved her chair closer and sat right up against me.

“Every time I see you, you seem more attached…”

“It’s just your imagination.”

“Is that so? Well, whatever… I heard from Leanne that you entered the enemy’s stronghold town?”

The king seemed to have other things he wanted to say, but he prioritized the main topic.

“Yes. It’s a port town called Ludoe. Currently, the demon Merell is conducting an investigation.”

“Can that Merell be trusted?”

“Yes. She is a trustworthy person.”

“You say that so definitively… Ah, wait, she was a woman, wasn’t she? Don’t tell me—you’re even reaching for that demon?”

What is this king talking about...

“I don’t lay hands on other people’s women.”

“Yuuma-sama is a faithful man.”

Leanne nodded repeatedly.

“Faithful? In what way is this guy faithful?”

The king looked exasperated.

“Master doesn’t indulge in womanizing at all!”

“No… That almost makes it worse…”

AI-chan defended me, but the king still seemed unconvinced as he looked at Leanne.

“My situation doesn’t matter. In any case, the infiltration was successful, and we’ll handle things smoothly. It seems they have reinforcements as well.”

“Mm. I want you to put a stop to that for certain. Honestly, it’s a serious problem.”

“Is it really that bad?”

I assume a considerable number of soldiers have gathered...

“Yeah. The enemy has barricaded themselves in the town and is fully committed to a siege. They are clearly stalling for time.”

“Can’t we force an attack?”

“It’s not impossible, but there would be disputes over who goes. Our weakness is that our army is a mix of various forces. Commanding them is difficult.”

No one wants to take the risk, huh.

If this were my homeland, the warriors would be eager for glory and rush in headfirst...

“It’s best to cut off their reinforcements and supplies, after all.”

“Yeah. The longer this drags on, the more the country will suffer. I want to end this quickly.”

This king is a kind ruler, which is why his talents lie in governance rather than warfare.

If he could personally lead the troops and take decisive action, things would be different...

“Understood. We’ll handle it.”

“I’m counting on you.”

“What about the informant?”

“No clue. We tried spreading false information to stir things up, but we haven’t figured out anything yet.”

As expected, it won’t be easy...

“Got it. Let’s put that matter aside for now.”

“That seems best. We’ve gathered the navy and are prepared for naval warfare at any time. I’m relying on you.”

“Understood. Merell will contact me tomorrow, so we’ll move swiftly.”

“Good! I’ll leave it to you.”

I sure have earned their trust…

Even though I’m not just from another country, but from an entirely different world.

“Uncle, we’ll be taking our leave now.”

“Got it. Leanne, be careful.”

“Yes. But since I’m withYuuma-sama, there won’t be any problems.”

“That’s true… But why is it that, deep down, I just can’t bring myself to like this guy?”

The king muttered while looking at me.

“It’s jealousy.”

“Uncle, nothing is more unsightly than a man’s jealousy.”

“..................”

Ah, the king dislikes me even more now.
