Summary
Liscia Elfrieden comes home and learns that despite the rumors, her father abdicated the throne of his own free will. She finds Souma in the middle of sorting through paperwork with several staff officers. She ends up helping him out while casually revealing that she's the daughter of the king. Souma ends up confessing that he likely would get a position within the castle but was surprised that he was given the title of king. He also mentions he sold off 3/10th of the royal treasury to cover expenses and projects to solve many other issues within the kingdom. Souma also shows off the magic he acquired when he was summoned here, living poltergeist. Souma leads Liscia to some cotton fields which lead to one issue within the kingdom, the food shortage. Souma says he has a solution by limiting the acreage of cash crops and growing food again.
