I shouted to resolve a situation that almost led to the Great Celestial War over trivial reasons.

If we fight, it would upset me.

Only then did they stop fighting and pull me into a warm embrace.

“Our Yuna must not be upset.”
“Right. And Miel says she misses you and wants you to come visit. If you don’t come, she said she’d come find you herself.”
“Oh, really? I’ll visit sometime.”

After some casual conversations, thanks to Michael’s quick departure, war was averted.

Ah, what a fate I have.

[Time remaining: 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

One day left until the invasion.

However, with no information whatsoever, everyone was on the brink of insanity.

I was prepared to move immediately if mana concentrated in a specific location while monitoring the entire Earth, but there were no signs at all.

Are they really going to appear from space...?

In movies, they usually appear leading their ships; are we going to film a space war or something...?

As I sighed and waited for new information, I heard a knock, and the Enho Twins entered.

“The association contacted us.”
“Where!? Where is it!? What’s the scale!?”
“It’s right above us.”
“Hmm?”

Pointing upward with their fingers, I looked through the window to see ominous signs appearing in the sky.

The symptoms before a gate appears.

Could this be what they meant by “I went to see a fire, and it turned out to be my house?”

Experiencing it firsthand was quite unsettling.

“Then for now, please request assistance from the kids on the Arcana Continent.”
“Understood.”

After the Enho Twins left, countless messages arrived on my phone.

Messages started pouring in from Leah and the entire Frey Guild, saying they would arrive soon, and from the association saying they would send reinforcements.

Additionally, a suspiciously wealthy teenage guild offered help, but they had many conditions.

“Please let us spend some cozy time with our bear!”
“Ask the bear for permission.”
“Thank you!”

I respect personal preferences, but... how should I put it? I don’t know either!

Well, I guess it’s time for me to start preparing.

A short day passed.

[The main scenario quest conditions have been fulfilled.]
[CHAPTER 9: Prepare for the Invasion.]
[Time remaining: 00 hours 00 minutes 59 seconds]

One minute left.

With a mix of concern and anticipation, I watched to see what would appear next.

[Invasion Commencing]

With those words, a massive gate opened, but no figures emerged from within.

Everyone was bewildered, staring blankly at the gate when Yong-yong tugged at me.

“Kyuwung!”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
“Kyuwung!”

He pulled at me urgently. What was going on?

As I followed Yong-yong in the direction he was pulling, he pointed toward my office.

When I opened the office door, a strange creature was waiting.

It was a very cute-looking being.

It resembled a gigantic cat and was incredibly adorable.

“Who are you?”
“......”

The creature stared at me intently.

Where on earth did it come from? I had been watching the gate...

Without saying a word, it extended a finger toward me—was it...?

The moment I naturally brought my finger to touch its, an overwhelming flood of information surged into my mind as if I was downloading data.

After a while of being dazed, I finally realized where they had come from and why they had sought me out.

Having lost their homeland like the Arcana Continent, they had wandered aimlessly until drawn to our world by a great power, expressing that they hoped for peace.

“I understand what you mean. And I can resolve that.”

The creature, which had been looking at me, seemed to smile brightly, prompting me to contact Leah.

Upon hearing the story, Leah negotiated with the association and designated a land where they could live.

“Right next to our house?”
“Yes. We expanded our land with this coup... no, revolution, didn’t we? They suggested we transfer that part to them.”
“That should be fine.”

This situation seemed to be escalating...?

With demons now as neighbors, and now aliens too.

I wonder if it will be okay in the eyes of others.

“The association seems to think that the Red Revolution doesn’t engage in reckless acts.”
“I’m glad there’s trust.”

If that weren’t the case, things would have been difficult.

As the aliens began to reveal themselves, their appearances were surprisingly cute.

Not just cute; they looked like creatures you’d want to pinch just by seeing them.

Thanks to that, public opinion welcoming the aliens was high, but some countries were even requesting a few for research purposes. Were they out of their minds?

“Are they serious about that?”
“T-there are indeed many who aren’t in their right mind.”

But he smiled slyly, and it was scary.

The next day, when news of this spread on the internet, they faced public outrage, their stocks plummeting, leading to a national apology.

Indeed, cuteness is justice.

The aliens, or rather the “Nyang-nyang tribe,” were comfortably settled in, and with the dwarves and monsters mobilized, we managed to construct the village in just a week.

The location was built between the Demon Realm and the Red Revolution so that we could provide support immediately if needed.

Thanks to that, I was busy tending to the fallen dwarves and monsters when an inexplicable feeling of unease washed over me.

“I feel like I’m missing something.”

Lara, who was eating snacks in my room during her visit to the guild, reacted to my words.

“What’s that?”
“Hmm, I’m not sure what it is.”
“When in doubt, sweet things are the best.”

As she popped a snack into my mouth, we enjoyed a warm cup of tea when a knock sounded.

The door opened, and the Demon King entered.

“Demon King, what brings you here?”
“I came to visit.”

He naturally picked me up and sat me on his knee, feeding me snacks, which made Lara look at us with an incredulous expression.

“Wow, you’re really charming everyone.”
“What do you mean by that...?”
“Is your goal a harem?”
“Absolutely not!”
“Oh, yes, it is!”

I knew it would be something like that, and I felt like I was about to lose my mind.

What is this uneasy feeling, like I’ve been caught in a weakness?

At that moment, the door burst open, and someone came in—no, it was the angel Miel!?

“Hey, you! I said I’d barge in if you didn’t come visit!?”
She approached angrily, only to be surprised when she saw the Demon King.

“D-Demon King!?”
“It’s been a while, Miel. Have you been causing trouble?”
“W-what do you mean!?”

As we exchanged incredulous words, Lara subtly came to my rescue.

Why was she saving me?

“Come on, leave this to me and get out of here.”
“Really...? Thank you! You’re the best friend!”

“Humph! Just go already!”

***

Anyway, being a Casanova, how many people has he charmed?

I only have Yuna as a friend, but Yuna has many friends around her.

If it were up to me, I would want to make her my one and only friend, but I guess that wouldn’t work.

To be a good friend means to respect and care for each other.

“Where did Yuna go?”
“Bring Yuna out!”

With the Demon King looking at me with an intrigued gaze and the archangel’s sister glaring at me with a fierce expression.

“My friend had to leave due to a busy schedule. So would you two mind going back?”
“Oh? I thought today was open.”
“Don’t lie! I heard you have no plans for today!?”

Both of them seemed to have outstanding information. This couldn’t be settled with words.

“Come on, how about you take a look at this instead?”

As I started pulling out items from the pocket dimension, the initially uninterested Demon King and angel now watched with intrigued eyes.

“This is something we couldn’t see in the Demon Realm. What is it used for?”
“That’s a music box.”

It looked like a pretty box, and when you turned a tiny lever beside it, the box opened, and a lovely melody began to play.

They seemed delighted by the sweet tune and said they would buy one.

“Thank you, Demon King! Would you like to see something else?”
“Oh, that sounds good. Do you have more?”
“Oh, plenty!”

As I showed them various music boxes, they gazed at them with interest.

The angel beside them was absorbed in all sorts of snacks.

“What does this taste like?”
“It’s citrus flavor. Very sweet!”
