"... Is it because of you that things have been going wrong with Belzevute lately?
Eileen, who was just up and watching under her eyes on the terrace of the castle, is called up from above and looks up.
Directly below, the instructions of the craftsman and Doni, who run around to repair the castle, are flying. But no one is surprised by the appearance of a demon king floating in the universe.
That's about the sight I got used to seeing.
"I can't believe things are going wrong. You're starting to look like a knight, aren't you?
"I was shown the right way to thank you..."
"That's about all you need to see. The night club is a week away. I want to be by Lord Claude's side. I want you to do your best."
With a seemingly complicated face, Claude descends onto the terrace. Fenrir's child, who was lying under his feet, stood up completely and opened his neighbor. Alongside Eileen, Claude also looks around from the terrace.
"I hear you're feeding the other sweets and making the demons do things."
"I didn't force you. Or did you need permission from Master Claude for everything?
"No.... the demons seem to enjoy it too"
A lively voice was being heard from under his eyes. I see a group of crows carrying cages around their necks. Some werewolves stand up heavy wood and support it.
"The demons said they could get a free address when they helped with the construction"
"Yeah. The demons have powers that humans don't have. Donnie said she could rely very much on hard work and transportation, although she couldn't handle the details."
Thanks to this, the repair of the castle is progressing at more than double the normal speed.
Donnie and others finally said, "Can you come to work because I'll pay you?," he said.
And every demon in that word returns the permission of the Demon King.
"I'm sure you'll do a good job outside of the junction. Would you like to be an employee of my Chamber of Commerce? The job is mainly disaster recovery. Lord Claude is the executive, and he will raise the image of the demon."
"I'll consider it"
You think it's useless to say no, I was given a no-fault answer back. Though I spoke to him, I couldn't imagine Claude being my own man, so I pull back and change the subject.
"Lord Claude's ruling land - the residence of the demons is surprisingly large."
"... oh. At first, it was really just this abandoned castle and forest..."
Fuji Claude's eyes looked far away.
"Now calm down, but once upon a time came demons often chased after their dwellings by humans. I got so narrow, I didn't have enough places for the demons to live, I had a problem."
"Is there such a thing as the demonic refugee problem? So, what happened?
"Keith has bought up the land next door. It must have been some Earl Territory at the time."
Claude then points across the forest.
"As we go north there, the climate becomes harsh and the land becomes poor. Besides, it's next door to the Demon King's Forest. Though close to the Imperial Capital, I guess it didn't fit the bill. I heard you wanted to buy it pretty cheap."
"But I also have face there. I think it was a difficult negotiation... but you're the one, Master Keith."
"Oh. I trust you"
The same faceless expression, but I found it to be sincere.
Damn, the back of Eileen's chest hurts.
"... I'm so proud of Master Keith."
"You? How so?"
"Dear Claude. The Queen is also under her command. … I believe that my failure to gain the trust of Master Cedric was my own fault as a subordinate."
A strong wind blew, winding up the leaves of the tree. The cucumber and the Fenrir child at his feet squeal small.
"Now that I think about it, there were good omens. I'm always the one who goes to see you. I've never even received a gift. I'll take care of the business... oh, I don't know if it's changed much now."
With his neck clenched, he was suddenly covered with Claude's cloak from his head. Claude squeaks in the midst of a buzzing wind.
"It'll be cold, we're going in"
"Oh, thank you.... Dear Claude... this wind, you know, like a tornado can be seen over there"
I'm not like Cedric.
Oh, is that making you grumpy?
Convinced Irene smiles under the disturbed air pattern at once.
"I know. If you're Claude, please come to the night club as promised."
"... have you ever been soaked?
"Yeah, at last year's school festival"
Cedric didn't show up, and Eileen stood alone, flat.
I didn't know what was going on then, but now I do. Because I know the game, I get it.
Cedric was on the roof, alone with Lilia, enjoying a ball under the starry sky.
"If something stops happening, I'll explain it properly."
Claude, who never promises cheaply to go, etc., is certainly not like Cedric.
So don't worry, Eileen nodded.
"But if for whatever reason you didn't, we'll make it right."
"For example?"
"Marry me."
I thought I'd be stunned, but I was overwhelmed. Irene blinks as she wraps herself around Claude's cloak.
"Oh, finally, have you noticed?
…… If you cry and ask, you can consider it positively. "
"Why do you want to make me cry so much?"
"Isn't that because you have a personality that Irene would like to be able to interact with?"
Keith's voice came from the inside of the terrace. Seeing, there's not only Keith, there's even Jasper with a subtle face.
"Sure, if I make you cry, it feels like you win as a man, lady."
"If that's the saga of a creature called Man, destroy it now!
"You two, what can I do for you? A teething turtle."
"I'm sorry about what looks good. Mr. Jasper gave me some bad information."
Jasper, eyed by this one and Keith, held the edge of the beret.
"Rumor has it that a young lady is working with a demon to kill Lilia."
