I almost got hit by Lina as a joke, but I managed to get over it. The more I listened to my words, the more I laughed at her reaction, which made her face blush.
But very little, really little, but he showed interest. In this world, there are only novels and pictures, but no images.
It may sound quite obscene, but pornography on Earth is actually a product of science and culture.
Humans have an innate desire for s*xuality, and we need a way to solve it.
Although each person is different, there is no other medium that is as reliable as video. Lina was also interested in the video medium itself, not pornography.
“You mean that commoners can do that easily?”
“right.”
“Even aristocrats are difficult to access, but it doesn’t seem like your world. I wonder if it’s possible just by hearing it.”
“If science is sufficiently developed, it is possible. Besides, there is magic.”
Video calling magic hasn’t been invented yet, but it’s coming soon. The elves were studying it.
Although the development of the elf itself was slow, it had an unmatched depth when it came to magic.
The problem is the characteristic narrow gaze and closedness. If you fix these, you can have a much faster development rate than other races.
“The concept of democracy is amazing, too. The people, regardless of class, choose the king of the country through voting.”
“Do you think it’s good?”
“I think it would be difficult to apply it to our world beyond good and bad. Fairness and equality seem similar, but they are completely different.”
Very accurate. Democracy does not grant power to a specific class, but the change of political power is repeated through voting.
It is not very pleasant from the standpoint of a high-ranking person like Lina. You have to let go of all authority and power you have.
Also, as it is said that fairness and equality are different, people who are dissatisfied with democracy will surely appear at this point.
Historically, the reason democracy has been perfectly established is because he clearly watched the atrocities of totalitarianism during World War II.
“You’re right. To be honest, there is no need to rush the system itself. As I said before, radical development inevitably brings trouble. In this world, there are many things to consider because each individual has strong power.”
“Rather than blindly grafting, we should start with the basics. For example, even the emperor has no right to deprive the people of their freedom without a fair price.”
“There is, but we have to guarantee freedom. If freedom is violated, we need someone to solve it.”
The most important thing in democracy is civic consciousness. Citizens are clearly aware of their freedoms and rights.
But ironically, they are often simply suppressed by ‘force’.
The 5.18 Democratization Movement broke out in the Republic of Korea where I lived, and a coup d’état broke out in Myanmar as well.
Of course, there are quite a few cases where democracy works, but they are all done by the citizens themselves.
Why is there a saying that the true power of democracy comes from the citizens?
In this sense, democracy must go through a long and distant process to be established in this world.
Totalitarianism did not even appear in the first place, and since freedom and rights are still sufficiently guaranteed, it is sufficient to maintain the status quo.
“Don’t worry, democracy will not be established in at least four generations.
“Then I’ll be a little nervous. Seeing that, our people may be shaken.”
“But there is no justification to stop the revolution?
Lina asked me to borrow a piece of paper and a pen. It seems to be to organize knowledge.
It’s too much to organize all the things you’ve heard so far in your head, so it’s much better to write them down in a notebook.
Eventually, the more the page was written, the more a smile was engraved on her lips.
I don’t know if I’ve come up with a clever idea that completely ruins my poker face, or if I’m just happy to imagine it.
that a major change would occur in the political system of the Minerva Empire.
“Heh.”
He is so happy that he makes an unusual laugh out loud. No matter what happens, it will have little effect on me.
I’m a little curious though. What kind of idea came to my mind, so I couldn’t hide my smile.
I kept sticking my head out to see what she had written on the paper. But, perhaps noticing, Lina immediately turned the paper over.
“Why? Can’t you show it to me?”
“It’s embarrassing. It might be absurd to you.”
It wasn’t a lie, it was really shameful, so a faint blush appeared on Lina’s cheek.
Whether what is written on the paper is like a diary, the will to never show it to me stands out.
It was a different meaning of shame than before, but there was also an unknown cuteness. Nevertheless, her dignity and unique elegance as a princess did not disappear.
“You can tell me a little bit. You don’t have to tell me everything. You’ll come to me for an opinion anyway.”
“You’re quick-witted too. It’s not really a big deal. I thought of a way to keep the power of our imperial family strong while dispersing the power below it.”
“What’s that way?”
“It hasn’t been decided yet. It’s just dividing the powers and departments a little more finely. Putting each head there, and controlling each other so that they can check each other out. there.”
“Do you feel like you’re trying to spread power overtly?”
It looks like they are trying to implement something similar to the separation of powers, but it’s too much. He intends to make the power of the nobles scattered all over the place.
It wasn’t even a proper separation of powers in the first place. The final decision will remain with the emperor.
I thought it was too one-dimensional, but I could understand immediately from Lina’s next words.
“I told you a while ago that Count Kerrison’s funds were flowing to the demon worshipers. If they were an accomplice, they would be executed, but if you didn’t know, it would be unfair as you said? It was difficult in many ways.”
“Is it possible to separate it? It would require a lot of manpower to separate it.”
“Our Minerva Empire has a lot of talented people. But there were very few places to use it. If we create various departments using this opportunity, jobs will be solved.”
That’s right. I don’t know what the future holds in Lina’s head, but it would be nice if it were good.
‘But is it possible to think like that just by telling me?’
A genius is also a genius. I have memories of my previous life, but I never came up with such an idea.
After that, Lina filled the paper tightly with a look of anticipation and folded it.
The desire to apply the policy at any moment was evident on his face.
“Can I come more often? I want to hear more about you. We are already married.”

Now it’s come out completely. I couldn’t help but tremble as I looked at Lina’s brightly shining eyes.
I’ve seen eyes like that from other people. Eyes full of love.
It was only natural for me to feel startled when I received such a gaze from Lina and not from anyone else.
“How long are you going to come?”
“I too have a mountain of work to do, so I won’t be able to come to you right away. But if things get resolved to some extent, maybe two or three times a week?”
“Do you think Marie would be very bothered?”
“Then let’s do it once or twice a week. The more stories you hear, the more your empire will develop.”
Lina is treated as a raccoon robot from a certain cartoon. I let out a bitter laugh.
Again, the Earth and this world are fundamentally different in so many ways.
Therefore, no matter how much I tell the history of the earth, it is up to Rina to apply it.
Knowledge that others would have treated as bullshit if they had heard it. However, I am Zeno who is revered as a prophet in the world.
In fact, he is being treated as a prophet, so he can accept it more easily.
“Oh, you said that your world developed rapidly over 300 years? Then, isn’t there a reason for the rapid development?”
“Uh… well. It’s called the Industrial Revolution, and there was a time when the accumulated technologies crossed the threshold.”
“I’ll try to make that time as soon as possible. Is the steam locomotive really invented?”
“yes.”
“Then I need to get closer to Machina. As you said, the age of Dwarves will come in the future. Consider recruiting Ains…”
Unable to control the overflow of ideas, Lina began to write on another piece of paper.
It was a little unfamiliar to her that she, who was usually calm, treated her so passionately.
At least for me, things are overflowing with only ‘possibility’, but for her, it seems not.
Still, this is certain. That only people with such a challenging spirit can develop the world.
One more thing above all. A really important part of the development of this world remains.
“Reena.”
“A little more about science, huh?”
“There’s something I forgot and didn’t say. Progress is good, but if you’re not careful, one day you’ll get the wrath of God.”
“What does that mean?”
live the wrath of god At one of these words, Lina blinked her big eyes and asked quietly.
He seems to have intuitively realized that what I said was not in vain by the fact that his voice was subtly trembling.
So I drank all the tea left in the teacup and calmly opened my mouth.
After the Industrial Revolution, the destruction of the environment that has remained the biggest challenge for mankind.
“Our world has made radical progress, but unfortunately it has some side effects. I’m not talking about science or culture. I’m talking about ‘nature’, which is life itself and the mother of everyone.”
“Nature? Why nature?”
“Mankind has destroyed nature at random, consuming vast amounts of resources. Mountain trees have been cut down, rivers have become turbid, and the seas have become more and more harsh. With holes in the sky, all kinds of climatic anomalies are occurring. “
“·······”
Until I died, the average global temperature was rising. Because of this, as the years pass, natural disasters of which even the cause cannot be found are occurring.
Even some organizations say that the planet needs to stop immediately, rather than reduce its carbon footprint, in order to save the planet.
Furthermore, some islands are on the verge of subsidence due to already elevated sea levels.
“Fortunately, where I lived, God didn’t interfere directly, so it’s a pity, if I did, I would have been punished in the past. However, in this world, Hirt-sama or other gods will give direct warnings.”
“…is there any way?”
“I don’t know. Mana exists here, so shouldn’t it be good to use it?”
“Nature is the mother of all life, but there is nothing wrong with humans destroying nature.”
Lina heard my warning and stopped moving the pen for a moment. I think I realized something after listening to my story.
Environmental destruction inevitably occurs when the Industrial Revolution occurs. But how could this be replaced with mana and magic?
Other gods, including Hirt, would not be able to intervene prematurely. If you block the progress of your own children, some people will be dissatisfied.
I looked at the clock in a slightly serious situation. Time has passed since we talked for a long time.
“For now, let’s end today here. You have a lot of work to do right now, don’t you?”
“Okay. It was a useful time in many ways. Will you tell me again later?”
“Anytime. Oh, I can tell you later in bed. I don’t think I’ll have much time other than that.”
“Actually. That’s right… Hey!! You’re real!!”
After all, Lina should be teased.
*****
A day has passed since then, and Xenon’s biography had just been released.
“Father. What didn’t your mother say in the mansion?”
“I said I’ll be patient this time.”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
My father, who had been to the mansion for a while, gave me good news.
The last time Jin’s demonization incident had been vaccinated, his mother never came to visit.
“That’s fortunate.”
“Instead, if Jin and Lily don’t connect, they say they separate the flesh from the bone.”
“·······”
Then you really have to run away.
