Reincarnated to Bonk in Another World

197  Preparation

After calming Irena down, he saw her off and lay down on his bed. His heart had a complex feelings that even he didn't know how to describe them.

From Shella to Irena, he finally understood their backgrounds. He understood the reason they fought.

He couldn't help but raise his hand as if trying to grab the ceiling.

"Having subordinates is not that easy, I guess." Albert sighed. "Of course, I can simply ignore the details, but all of them are different. They're the first few people that are with me, so I'm not going to treat them like strangers."

"Whatever. I need to get some rest and take care of the problems soon. The situation will become chaotic soon, so it's better if I make some preparations.

"For now, I manage to consolidate my power. I shouldn't be that miserable fighting against someone at my level even if the latter is not horny." Albert thought for a moment and asked, "Bonkey. Do you think I shouldn't fight the world? I mean, it's going to be hectic soon."

[What you are doing right now is protecting your student. It's not fighting the world. If they don't do anything, you don't need to fight them.]

"No matter how you twist it, the situation is as such." Albert shook his head helplessly, feeling a headache.

[You can simply solve it by becoming a Demon Lord. The seven demon kingdoms will follow you.]

"Bonk Demon Lord?"

[A perfect title.]

"Shut up. If I become a Demon Lord, the humans will come at me directly. More lives will be lost. I don't care much about the difference between demons and humans, but I don't want to let innocent people die. I want a solution that can solve my problem."

[I don't have that kind of solution. However, there is one thing that can make people forget their hatred and unite.]

"What is that?"

[Common Enemy.]

"Common enemy, huh." Albert fell silent for a moment. "Now that I think about it, the second world war was about something like this. But who can be the common enemy…"

[To be honest, you're the most suited person as a common enemy. You're too strong, especially if you want to grant people power.]

"Now that I think about it, as long as they don't know that I can grant them power remotely, I can create chaos by becoming the world's enemy. For example, I can grant this power to someone and he will be treated like a spy or something. Ah, I think I have heard a story like this… It was about the witches. They were hiding their power because the church would kill them if they found them."

[But you are no hero who will sacrifice yourself to unite the world, right?]

"Yeah. I am just a selfish person who wants to roam around the world. There's no way I'm going to become their enemies." Albert nodded with a serious expression.

[In that case, you should make a common enemy…] Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Who can be that strong?"

[I don't have any information about such a person. But this is one of the solutions if you don't want a war between the demons and the humans.]

"Fair enough." Albert nodded with a serious expression as he closed his eyes. "Anyway, I'm going to sleep. If you find a solution to this problem, let me know."

[Roger that.]

"Thank you, Bonkey. Good night."

[Good night.]

Albert fell asleep easily as he was pretty tired with this problem.

…

The next morning.

Albert went to the garden in the morning to get some fresh air before noticing Luna standing outside his mansion.

"Hmm?" Albert approached her and waved his hand. "Do you need anything from me?"

"Yes. I bring the message of Her Majesty."

"What's that?"

"The battle has been decided." Luna opened the letter and stated. "The place is the Green River Plain which is two days from here as well."

"Hoh? When is the battle?"

"Seven days from now. We're going to spread this information around to create the hype."

"Creating the hype, huh…" Albert narrowed his eyes, pondering for a moment. "Within that time, Yale should have come back and since Lilith is planning to broadcast the fight for the Lust Kingdom, the others will either take advantage of it or watch the battle.

"I'm assuming, they're going to wait for the information first because I'm an unknown variable. They want to know me first, so this should delay their movements at least two weeks after the battle. In addition to their reaction time along with the spies' speed, the total time we can buy from this spar is about a month.

"It's quite nice since I can do many things in a month. And the Gluttony Kingdom will be the first to act, so there will be more chances…" Albert muttered as though he had understood Lilith's intention.

"I am not very sure about the situation, but Her Majesty asked me to pass this letter to you." Luna handed an envelope to him and stepped back as if telling Albert her job had finished.

"I see. Thank you. You will be busy for the next few days." Albert nodded and waved his hand.

"Yes. Thank you for your consideration." She then gave him another bow before leaving the mansion.

Of course, the succubus was working fast that almost all the cities in the Lust Kingdom had the information about the battle between Albert and Lilith.

Those people obviously didn't care much because they didn't know who Albert was. It seemed Albert wanted to fight the queen to show he was worthy to be her husband.

His achievement had also been spread around while hiding his bonk power and the ability to teach anomalies. This was scheduled for the spar after all.

Meanwhile, the other kingdoms who had planted their spies in the Lust Kingdom also received the same information.

Pride Kingdom.

The werewolf king couldn't help but crush the letter while having a big smirk. "The succubus queen wants to play it this way, huh…"

"The princes and princesses have been trying to kill His Highness Yale but to no avail. Now that he has offended the Gluttony Kingdom, what will we do?"

"Go to the Lust Kingdom and find Yale. Submit to me and become the next king. This way, he can help his teacher by assisting the Lust Kingdom in fighting against those humans." The Pride King stated. He planned to take advantage of this situation to bring Yale back to the family.

And whether Yale would accept this proposal or not was still not clear.

…

Gluttony Kingdom.

The queen gritted her teeth while clutching her head. "Kh! The Lust Kingdom is playing with us this whole time. It's clear that Lilith and Albert have been in a relationship by how supportive Lilith was. They are just trying to prove it to the public. This strength, this power… We need to destroy them before Yale and his teacher become far too strong!"

"…" The king could only sigh. His wife had been too stressed because of Yale. The nobles had been trying to usurp the throne, so he knew the situation wasn't going to calm soon.

The only thing they could do to reinstate the royal family's prestige was by attacking the Lust Kingdom. If they were victorious, the nobles wouldn't dare to do anything.

Knowing the situation had forced them to make this decision, the king stood up and said with a gentle tone. "I guess I have been too soft for a long time… It's time for me to move again."

The queen widened his eyes as though she knew what he planned to do. "Wait. You're not going…"

The king made a wry smile but still had the time to comfort her. "Don't worry. This is my duty as a father, a husband, and a king."

…

Holy Kingdom.

"We've received the news about their movements. It seems there is going to be a spar… Who do you think will win?" The pope smirked and took a seat next to his saintess.

"Raw power, it's obviously the queen. But we don't know how unique his power is…" The saintess shook her head. "Though, I am wondering what will the Holy Kingdom do?"

"For now, we have spread his information to the other kingdoms. But we will wait until the battle is over before making another move. If he's too weak, it's impossible for us to unite all five kingdoms."

"Fair enough. But don't forget he's already this strong… Assuming he came to this world at the same time as us, he's going to be much stronger if we give them time."

"We can target his people first before taking him down. At this point, I don't care about the succubus queen… I just don't want him to be the symbol of the demons. When that happens, the faith in the Holy Spirit will be broken and the demons will get a boost in morale." The pope sighed.

"But the hero and the great sage have been captured by them."

"Ugh. Don't remind me of that matter." The pope facepalmed before shaking his head helplessly. Even he had a headache when thinking about this matter.

The braves were the symbol of the humanities. If the symbol was taken, especially the most important person, the hero, it was hard to raise the people's morales.

"Why does the hero need to be that foolish?" The pope sighed.

"Who knows. We were from different countries, parents, and teachings… He must have bad parents to be that foolish or he might have been spoiled too much. But who cares… This world amuses me, so I will do my best to protect my lifestyle." The saintess chuckled.

"That's not something the saintess should say…"

"You are too strict, old man."

"I'm the pope."

"Okay, old man pope."

"…"
