(Part 1)
I'm in a really large bedchamber right now.
The elders at the altar told me to wait in here.
How should I say this...
This bedroom is really fancy looking.
Kami-sama told me I'm going to become king.
So this is the kingdom I will be ruling.

I walk towards the balcony.
It's a beautiful city.
Beyond that is the sea.
So this is a naval kingdom.

*Knock*
*Knock*

"Enter."(Tokiya)

It was 2 elders.

"Your majesty, are you ready for your coronation?"(???)
"Yes. What should I do?"(Tokiya)
"You just need to give a speech in front of your people. Then, we will crown you as king."(???)

A speech?
I'm not used at talking in front of an audience.
What should I say?

"First, tell me about this kingdom."(Tokiya)
"As you wish."(???)

The Kingdom of Zanarkia.
A naval kingdom which lies at the middle of the world.
It's not famous or anything.
Just a simple and small land.
There's a port.
The corps that are usually planted are wools, some simple fruits and vegetables.
There's a forest west from here.
It seems there are monsters in this world.
There are wolves, goblins and a lot of weird creatures live in that forest so normal people won't get near it.

"Are there magic as well?"(Tokiya)
"Of course."(???)

Magic in Zanarkia are mainly used for constructions.
Zanarkia isn't a very powerful kingdom so it's not focused on their army strength.

"I see. Well, that's enough for now. We wasted enough time, let's go."(Tokiya)
"Yes, Your Majesty."(???)
---------------------------------------------------------
(Part 2)
I wore some kind of robe.
It looks quite nice and expensive.
It may costs 100000 yen if it's in my world.
I stood on the place where the king of this country always give their speech.

"Today, God has sent us our new King! All bow to our new king!"(???)

The people bowed down.
I stood straight and declared.

"Everyone, please stand."(Tokiya)

They still bow down.

"Your Majesty, it's inappropriate for the people to look at their king directly."(???)
"I don't care. Please, everyone, stand."(Tokiya)

They finally stood up.
But they won't look me in the eye.
They just lower their heads.

"I am Otonashi Tokiya. I came from another world. I still don't know a lot about this world and this kingdom."(Tokiya)
"But let me ask you, why are you lowering your heads? Is it because you reject me as your king? Or is it because you fear me?"(Tokiya)

There's a commotion in the crowd.

"Look at your king!"(Tokiya)

They all raise their head.
They were shocked at what they saw.

"I'm just a kid! I have no experience in anything. In fact, this is my first time standing in front of a crowd."(Tokiya)

"Will it be okay with this kind of king?"(???)
"He doesn't know anything about how to rule a kingdom."(???)
"Did God mistaken with someone else?"(???)

I can already hear doubts.
They are saying the truth.
I don't know anything.
But...

"So that's why! You all must help me! Not as my subjects, but as equal! We are all humans, trying to live in this world! I don't care about positions or anything! If you can help me out in anyway, I shall reward you!"(Tokiya)
"This kingdom will have some changes from now on. It may be hard to accept it at first, but I hope everyone can cooperate. Let me repeat, we are equals! If I am the head, then you are my hands and legs!"(Tokiya)
"I hereby declare myself as King Otonashi Tokiya and I will do anything I can to bring this kingdom to it's glory."(Tokiya)

"OOOOHHHH!!"(All)

The elders put a crown on top of my head.
I waved at my subjects and went inside.
Now, time for some changes around here.
---------------------------------------------------------
(Part 3)
In this kingdom, there is no proper ruling system or should I say administrative system.
In the past, the king was in charge of everything.
And I don't like it.
There are some people that advise him and something but they aren't in charge of anything.
Time for some changes.

I set up some "Company" around here.
Finance Advisor.
Humanitarian Advisor.
Military Advisor.
Those are the top of their own company.
(AN: I know it's called Ministry but I don't like it so I'll put company. It sounds good too. It's a reference from the Suikoden Series(game).)

"I want you all to check on what your company is in charge of and report to me tomorrow."(Tokiya)
"Yes, Your Majesty."(All)

I went into my bedchamber.
It's been a long day.
And tomorrow is a longer day.
I went into the bathchamber.
It's very huge.
It's bigger than a normal ōnsen in Japan.
And only royalty can enter here.
It's too large for me alone...
I bathed and went to sleep.
The bed is freaking huge so I had some problems sleeping.
But I still slept through the night.
