Yoninme no Ousama
四人目の王さま
The story is told through a song about the three wise men who follow a star to Bethlehem to meet the newborn Jesus. However, there was a fourth wise man, a king who was extremely easygoing and carefree. Unlike his three companions, he never felt the urgency to embark on the journey, preferring to stay behind and enjoy his leisurely life.
As the three kings travel across the desert, the fourth king remains in his palace, missing the celestial sign and the opportunity to witness the birth. The narrative explores the humorous consequences of his relaxed attitude, showing how his procrastination leads to a series of whimsical events. Through this lighthearted twist on the classic biblical tale, the anime reflects on themes of responsibility, timing, and the different ways people respond to a call.
