How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, Volume 15
The Great Tiger Kingdom of Haan, the Gran Chaos Empire, and the Maritime Alliance headed by the Kingdom of Friedonia compete with one another in a newly tripolar world.
Suddenly, the Spirit Kingdom of Garlan, home to the high elves, attempts to make contact with these three great powers. They desire to regain the land they lost in the expansion of the Demon Lord's Domain. Souma, however, refuses to help them, seeing no benefit in doing so. Meanwhile, the Great Tiger Kingdom accepts their request and sends troops.
Things soon take a downturn as a crisis unfolds; healthy soldiers are collapsing one after another. It turns out that a deadly disease known as the Spirit King's Curse has been running rampant in the Spirit Kingdom! In the face of a novel disease that could threaten the whole world, Souma introduces new policies no one has ever seen before!
Here comes volume fifteen of the revolutionary administrative fantasy series!

A mix of family life, international politics and the development of counteracting a plague. It was an entertaining volume with a bit of worldbuilding about its history and the nature of magic. The kind of story I enjoy and expect. It did confirm my distaste for Fuuga and not in a positive way. Fuuga is not the enemy I love to hate and I am unsure how his presence would affect the Demon Lord as the potential enemy. We will see were things go in future volumes.

The elves need help, but they aren't ready to concede anything.
Souma a total coward did not lift a finger to protect his allies and political family in the conquest of the East Union conquest. Instead of being the protagonist of this light novel, he dedicates his time to making more offspring and giving a lot of excuses to his "allies".
The author insists on making this light novel about germs and disease. Thus the Elf Spirit Kingdom and the forces of the newly formed TIger Kingdom fall from the Demon Lord's territory plague. They call it the Spirit King curse that only "infects" warriors. Of course Souma could never get infected because he will never be a warrior. Nor is he a doctor, nor is the author or the illustrator doctors....hey wait, then why is Volume 15 about germs? Why is the Friedonia Kingdom worried about "solving" and "curing" a plague that is killing the elves and the soldiers of Haan (Tiger Kingdom)? Has Souma become so servile to Fuuga Haan and the elves, that now he is trying to cure those people? I think the first thing the author urgently needs to do, is get souma to wear one of Carla's maid outfits. Then Souma can abdicate and become Fuuga Haan's personal slave/maid.
If Souma and Friedonia have nothing to gain from helping out the elves, then why are they going to discover the cure to the plague? It is a contradiction to have the main character of a light novel, lose his protagonist status to Fuuga Haan. Fuuga Haan is the hero this series needs and yet, the Grand Chaos Empire does nothing, interferes in nothing. This is completely illogical, nonsensical and senseless.
The only positive thing is that this is the last volume so far. It is no longer about the Friedonia Kingdom, nor is Souma the main character of this light novel. Nor is it about governance or defeating the Demon Lord and recovering the lost territories. I see no future to this light novel.
The most likely outcome is that the Demon Lord is an older summoned Japanese person that got sick of this alternate world and now tries to destroy it. What would be the point of a series like this one? Or maybe the demon lord is a reader that had to go through all of this light novel and as revenge wants everybody to die (especially the warriors)?

Friedonia continues to grow not only intellectually, as a Kingdom, economically, militarily and now they show their growth in their medical knowledge. An epidemic hits the continent. After not agreeing to assist the Spirit Kingdom of Garlan, Souma sees the Great Tiger Kingdom of Haan take the fight and take some land from Garlan. What they did not count on was a curse hitting their warriors and Fuuga Haan bowing down asking for help. Souma takes on the epidemic but under his conditions not Fuuga's to the chagrin of Fugue's advisors. Have I mentioned this series is really well written and while still a light novel tackles political and international subjects with aplomb.
Anyway this is just another example why this series is awesome in many different ways.

I enjoyed it a lot
This story never fails to get me excited about where it's going to go next. I love the problems and solutions. Characters could use more personality but eh. Also things get solved a bit too easy but that's because of the groundwork the story put in and I enjoy that.

The countries put aside their differences in this volume to tackle a disease. In the afterward the author mentions he didn't intend this to happen around the covid period but it was oddly fitting. We don't go too into detail about the medical and research procedures but rather on how the perspectives of the characters towards each other change in the face of a common enemy.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
