"This…"
"Let the two adults name it!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the name must be decided by Lord Zhong Chen and Lord Rimuru!"
Everyone sitting on the sofa unanimously agreed that Zhong Chen and Rimuru should name the country.
"A Chen! Why don't you name it! I don't think I'm very good at naming things!"
When Zhong Chen heard Rimuru say that she wasn't good at naming things, his expression instantly became quite strange. You are a notorious naming fanatic!
Hundreds of thousands of monsters were named just like that, and now you're telling me you're not good at naming things!
"Cough, cough! Since Rimuru-san, you've said so, then I'll suggest a name first. What do you think?"
"Hmm… how about the Jura Tempest Federation, abbreviated as the Monster Country Federation!"
Upon hearing the name Zhong Chen proposed, everyone present's eyes lit up, and they said in unison:
"That's the name!"
"As expected of Lord Zhong Chen, the country name he came up with easily received everyone's unanimous approval!"
"Of course! Although the big bad guy is indeed unreliable at times, he has never made a mistake on important matters!"
Kochou Shinobu, sitting on the other side of Kanae Kocho, spoke with a proud expression.
"Oh my! The sun must have risen from the west today, for you, little girl, to actually praise me!"
Zhong Chen looked at Kochou Shinobu with a teasing expression.
Hearing Zhong Chen's teasing, Kochou Shinobu's face couldn't help but flush, and then she retorted, bracing herself:
"I… I only praised you reluctantly because I thought your name was indeed good. Don't misunderstand!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Shinobu is really cute!"
Kochou Shinobu looked at everyone present who were laughing, and quickly buried her head in Kanae's embrace, acting like an ostrich.
"Alright, stop laughing, all of you. If you keep laughing, this girl might charge you double the price next time you go to the barbecue restaurant!"
"Hahahaha!"
After everyone present gradually calmed down, Zhong Chen continued:
"Since the country's name has been confirmed, then the king must also be determined!"
"Yes, it certainly should be determined!"
"As for the candidate…"
Everyone's gaze involuntarily fell on Rimuru, who was currently eating pudding with narrowed eyes.
Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, Rimuru quickly put down the pudding and asked:
"Um… you don't mean I have to be the king too, do you! This time, A Chen should be the king, right!"
Hearing Rimuru's words, Zhong Chen calmly said:
"Sometimes I need to go to various worlds and can't always be here to oversee things."
"Anyway, you're always idle, so having you as the king is simply the perfect choice!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Rimuru immediately said with a mournful face:
"How can this be… A Chen is also idle! ╥﹏╥"
"That's not important. So, the king is decided! Everyone should have no objections, right!"
Zhong Chen loudly encouraged everyone present, and they all gave him face by expressing their agreement.
Seeing that everyone's opinions were surprisingly consistent, Rimuru could only reluctantly accept it.
But then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, a hint of slyness flashed in her eyes. She cleared her throat twice and said:
"Cough, cough… If that's the case, then I am the king now, right!"
"That's right! Rimuru-san is already the king!"
Miss Shizu looked at Rimuru with a gentle smile and said softly.
"Mm-hm! Lord Rimuru is already the king!"
Shion stood up excitedly and said loudly.
"Shion, you're too loud!"
Shuna reached out and gently tugged on Shion's sleeve, reminding her softly.
"Then I issue the king's first command: from now on, A Chen will serve as the Regent of the country, fully handling all national affairs!"
Upon hearing the command issued by Rimuru, the others present had no reaction yet, but Zhong Chen instantly stood up, pointing at Rimuru with an angry expression and shouting:
"Damn it! Rimuru, you plotted against me! How can you do this to our 'Idle Duo'? Are you betraying the organization! ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ"
Hearing Zhong Chen's shameless accusation, Rimuru also stood up and pointed at Zhong Chen, shouting:
"You were the one who betrayed the organization first! Since you won't let me have an easy time, then no one will! Hmph!"
"You scoundrel, I've decided to kick you out of the organization!"
"Hmph, if you kick me out, will there still be anyone in this organization…"
"I don't care…"
Everyone looked at the two who had started accusing each other of betrayal again, their expressions completely unchanged. This wasn't the first or second time these two had pulled such a stunt.
Everyone was already used to it. Miss Shizu even took advantage of the lull in their mutual accusations to ask Izayoi Sakuya:
"Miss Sakuya, could I trouble you to brew me another cup of black tea?"
Sakuya bowed slightly, walked to Miss Shizu, took the teacup, and said:
"Certainly, Miss Shizu, please wait a moment!"
It took a full ten minutes for the two, tired from arguing, to simultaneously sit back on the sofa, panting. Sakuya very appropriately brought them fresh black tea.
"Slurp…"
Zhong Chen took a sip of black tea, looked at everyone with a smile, and said:
"Um… let's continue. I'll temporarily serve as this Regent. Benimaru!"
Benimaru, hearing Zhong Chen call his name, quickly stood up and responded:
"Lord Zhong Chen!"
"Sit down and speak!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Benimaru immediately sat back down.
"How many troops are there currently, including the temporarily conscripted forces?"
"Currently, the Garrison still has only ten thousand men. A portion of the previously conscripted troops have been disbanded, and now only ten thousand remain."
Zhong Chen nodded, indicating he understood, then continued:
"Since we've decided to establish a nation, the military can no longer simply use the name 'Garrison'; it needs to be formalized!"
"Indeed, 'Garrison' makes it sound like a small town's guard force!"
Rimuru nodded in agreement, saying.
"Then, Lord Zhong Chen, how do you plan to arrange the troops?"
Benimaru looked at Zhong Chen and asked earnestly.
Zhong Chen thought for a while before saying:
"I plan to divide the entire force into three legions, from the First Legion to the Third Legion, with fifteen thousand men per legion."
"Each legion will be further subdivided into three divisions, with five thousand men per division."
"And establish an Imperial Guard Corps of five thousand men specifically responsible for protecting Rimuru and the city."
"A total force of fifty thousand men should be able to handle most situations."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Benimaru, and the others also fell into thought upon hearing Zhong Chen's arrangements.
Organizing an army of fifty thousand was no small burden for the Monster Country Federation, which currently only had over five hundred thousand adults.
Thinking of this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki couldn't help but say:
"Lord Zhong Chen, if we need to form a fifty-thousand-man army, it might lead to a reduction in the city's workforce and slow down construction."
"I wonder if the number of troops could be slightly reduced?"
Hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, Zhong Chen suddenly revealed a profound smile and said:
"Don't worry, Yaozai! I have a solution!"
Saying this, Zhong Chen looked at the Space Compression Technique and Space Capsule Technology in his system panel:
