The largest military state in the world, the Empire.
The most secure place in the country was the Lord’s office, which towered over the Imperial capital. In other words, the Lord’s residence.
At the deepest point in the structure…
“Hwaaah…” Someone let out a loud yawn.
The voice behind the half-transparent curtain in the room sounded rather endearing.
“I have nothing to do. I’m so bored, I could just melt away.”
Lord Yunmelngen.
The shape of the most important being in the Empire was faintly visible behind the curtain. The Lord had large ears and a tail, forming a faint silhouette of…not a human but a beast.
“Who was it who said boredom could kill the gods? Say, Risya, that’s how I feel right now. I’m so bored it’s painful.”
“That’s a good thing, Your Excellency,” Risya curtly replied as she raised her head.
Risya In Empire.
She was a clever-looking woman who wore black-rimmed glasses. Though she occupied the important position of the Lord’s staff officer, for the most part, her duties were just to chat with them like this.
“The world has been at peace for about a week. We haven’t seen any significant movement from the Nebulis Sovereignty. Though, of course, we’ve had small skirmishes with them in some places.”
The war between the two world superpowers…
The industrial utopia called the Empire was pitted against the witch’s paradise, otherwise known as the Nebulis Sovereignty. These two countries had been battling for over a century and still had yet to conclude their war.
However, they had been at a standoff, never reaching a point of all-out war.
“It’s fine that things are peaceful. I don’t want to hear stories about bloodshed. But figuring out a way to relieve my boredom is a pressing matter. That’s what you’re here for as my staff officer.”
“Then how about a chat?”
“You don’t have any news to talk about except peace.”
“Then how about a game?”
“No. Whenever you come close to losing, you always say you have a meeting and run off.”
“Then a nap?”
“I just had an eighty-nine-hour nap. I’m bored because I’m tired of napping.” The Lord sighed from beyond the curtain. “Oh, yes! I know.” The Lord’s voice sounded invigorated. “All right, Risya. Let’s do that.”
“By ‘that’ you mean…?” Risya tilted her head in puzzlement.
Though the Lord would regularly propose things on a whim, every scheme would be so sudden that even Risya would have a difficult time predicting what would come up.
“Your Excellency, what have you thought of this time?”
“That event from a decade ago. Let’s do it again.”
“Uh?!” The moment Risya heard that, the blood drained from her face. “You mean that?! Please, Your Excellency! Don’t tell me you want to make a hopeless attempt at that again!”
“I won’t repeat myself.”
Behind the curtain, the lord nodded.
“I leave it to you, Risya. Have it done while I’m asleep.”
“Wait, you’re going back to sleep, anyway?! Wait, Your Excellency!” Risya screamed, but she soon heard snoring from the other side of the curtain.
