To resolve the situation where a celestial-demonic war was about to break out over a trivial reason, I shouted.
I said I would get upset if they fought.
Only then did they stop fighting and hug me tightly.
"We can't let our Yuna get upset."
"That's right. And Miel said she misses you and wants you to come visit sometime. She said to tell you she'll come find you if you don't."
"Is that so? I'll visit later."
After some casual conversation, Michael-nim left soon, preventing a war from breaking out.
Sigh, my fate.

[Main scenario quest conditions have been met.]
[CHAPTER 9: Prepare for invasion.]
[Time remaining: 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]
One day left until the invasion.
But everyone is going crazy with frustration because there's no information at all.
We've prepared to move immediately if magical power gathers in a specific location while monitoring the entire Earth, but there are no signs at all.
Are they really going to appear from space...?
In movies, they appear leading spaceships - are we filming a space war movie or something...?
As I was sighing and waiting for new information to come in, at that moment.
With a knock, the Silver Fox Clan twins entered.
"We've received contact from the Association."
"Where!? Where is it!? What's the scale!?"
"Right above us."
"Huh?"
They pointed to the sky with their fingers, right above...?
As I looked up at the sky through the window, ominous signs appeared.
The symptoms before a gate appears.
Is this what they call 'went to see a fire and it turned out to be our house'?
Actually experiencing it is very bewildering.
"Th-then for now, please request help from the children in the Arcana continent."
"Understood."
After the Silver Fox Clan twins left, numerous messages arrived on my phone.
Starting with Rea unni and all Frey Guild members saying they'll arrive soon, to the Association saying they'll send reinforcements.
And even the suspiciously wealthy top 10 guilds say they'll help, but they want a lot in return.
"Please let me spend some quality time with our bear!"
"You'll have to get permission from the bear for that."
"Thank you!"
I respect personal preferences, but that... How should I put it. I don't know either!
Then I guess I should start preparing too.
A short time of one day passed.
[Main scenario quest conditions have been met.]
[CHAPTER 9: Prepare for invasion.]
[Time remaining: 00 hours 00 minutes 59 seconds]
One minute left.
As I was watching with half worry, half anticipation about what would appear this time, the time came.
[Invasion begins]
With those words, a huge gate opened, but no beings revealed themselves from inside.
As everyone was looking at the gate in confusion and bewilderment, Yong-yong pulled on me.
"Kyuung!"
"Hm? What's wrong?"
"Kyuuung!"
He's pulling on me urgently, but why?
As I walked in the direction Yong-yong was pulling me, he pointed towards my office.
When I opened the office door and entered, an unfamiliar life form was waiting.
And it was a very cute being at that.
It had the appearance of a giant cat and was incredibly adorable.
"Who are you?"
"......"
The life form staring at me blankly.
More than that, where on earth did it come from? I was watching the gate the whole time...?
Without saying anything, it held out its finger to me, but this couldn't be...?
The moment I naturally brought my finger to touch it.
It felt like information was being inputted into my brain as an enormous amount of information rushed in like a tidal wave.
After being dazed for a while, when the information was organized, I realized.
Where these beings appeared from and why they came.
They said they lost their homeland like the Arcana continent and were wandering without a destination when they were drawn by an enormous power to our planet, and that they desire peace.
"I understand what you mean. And I can resolve that for you."
I felt like the life form that had been looking at me smiled brightly as I contacted Rea unni.
After hearing the story, Rea unni negotiated with the Association to designate land where they could live.
"Right next door to our house?"
"Yes. We expanded our territory through the coup... I mean, revolution recently, right? They suggested we hand over that part to them."
"That should be fine."
This seems to be getting bigger and bigger...?
Now aliens have become our neighbors in addition to the demons.
I wonder if others will be okay with this.
"It seems the Association thinks the Red Revolution Group won't do anything reckless."
"It's fortunate we have their trust."
It would have been difficult without that.
As the aliens revealed themselves one by one like that, their appearances were quite cute.
Not just cute, but so adorable you'd want to bite them just by looking.
Thanks to that, public opinion welcoming the aliens was high, but some countries requested we send them a few for research purposes - are they crazy?
"They're not saying that in their right mind, are they?"
"Well... There are many people who aren't in their right mind."
But she smiles wickedly saying not to worry, which is scary.
The next day, when such content spread on the internet, they were severely criticized by public opinion, their stock prices fell, and it led to a public apology.
Indeed, is cuteness justice?
We mobilized everyone from dwarves to monsters to build a village so the aliens - no, the 'Nyangnyang clan' - could live comfortably, and as a result, we were able to complete it in just a week.
The location was built between the demon realm and the Red Revolution Group so we could provide support immediately if anything happened.
Thanks to that, as I was busy taking care of collapsed dwarves and monsters, I felt uneasy for some reason.
"I feel like I'm missing something."
Lala reacts to my words.
She visited for trading company work and is healing by eating snacks in my room.
"What is it?"
"Hmm, I'm not sure."
"At times like this, sweets are the best."
As she was putting snacks in my mouth and we were having a warm cup of tea, there was a knock at the door.
The door opened and the Demon King came.
"Demon King, what brings you here?"
"I came to visit."
She naturally picked me up and sat me on her lap, feeding me snacks, while Lala looked on with a dumbfounded expression.
"My, you're seducing everyone."
"What do you mean by that...?"
"Is your goal a harem?"
"It's a misunderstanding!"
"Sure it is!"
She laughs wickedly saying she knew it would be like this, and it's driving me crazy.
What is this uneasy feeling like I've had a weakness exposed?
At that moment, the door burst open and someone entered. No, the angel is Miel!?
"Hey you! Didn't I say I'd come barging in if you didn't visit!?"
She approached angrily, but was surprised as soon as she saw the Demon King.
"D-Demon King!?"
"It's been a while, Miel. Are you still causing trouble?"
"Wh-what do you mean by that!?"
As they were having this bewildering conversation, Lala quietly rescued me.
Why is she helping me for once?
"Now, now, leave this to me and hurry and escape."
"Really...? Thank you! You really are my friend!"
"Hmph! I got it, so hurry and go!"

Really, as expected of a casanova, just how many people has she seduced?
I only have one friend, Yuna, but Yuna has many friends around her.
I'd like to make her my only friend, but that won't work.
Because being considerate and respectful is what friends do.
"Where did Yuna go?"
"Give Yuna back!"
The Demon King of the demon realm looking at me with interested eyes and the younger sister of the Archangel glaring at me with fierce eyes.
"My friend left earlier due to a busy schedule. So would you two please go back?"
"Oh? I heard she had no schedule today."
"Don't lie! I heard she had no schedule today!"
They both have excellent information networks? This won't work with words.
"Now, now, instead of that, would you like to take a look at this?"
As I took out items one by one from my subspace, the Demon King and angel who initially showed no interest began to look with curious eyes.
"This is an item I haven't seen in the demon realm. What is it used for?"
"That's a music box."
It looks like a pretty box, but if you turn the tiny lever on the side, the box opens and music plays.
She seemed to like the very sweet melody and said she would buy one.
"Thank you, Demon King! Would you like to see others?"
"That sounds good. Do you have others?"
"Many!"
I showed her various music boxes and she looked at them with interested eyes.
The angel beside her was absorbed in various snacks.
"What flavor is this?"
"It's tangerine flavor. It's very sweet."
