Atelier Tanaka

Demon King Resurrection VIII

During the expansion of Dragon City, various problems surfaced.

By carefully resolving each and every one of them, we steadily set up our support for the time to come. A day, another day and time pass. The city grows in size with remarkable momentum. The number of visitors is steadily increasing, albeit slightly.

"Ta, Mr. Tanaka, ahhh!

Walking down the hallway of the mayor's house, he was called by his name from the rear.

This sounds definitely like our dear Sophia.

"What's up?

I look back, pretending to be casual.

Then, from the corner of the hallway, there was her hanging busily with the patter. The maid's frill skirt looks great. If it was to come true, it would have been nice to be a little shorter. I miss the moro visibility specifications I experienced in the resort.

"The refugees are coming again..."

"I see."

It is uncut that refugees have previously accepted people from the territory of the vertical roll from the side of the Republic of Pussy, both nationally and internationally. The population is growing on a scale of a few people on fewer days and dozens on more days.

Of course, I never accept everything. After checking his character and birth properly, he makes an acceptance decision every time. A few days before that, the bandits had received a painful counterattack from the Nuys in an attempt to enter the city disguised as refugees.

Incidentally, the Nuys, who intercepted the enemy without causing damage to the city or residents, were given the right to use only a few floors of the lower floors of the Lorrigon Tower as an immediate and dedicated quarters by the town mayor. The Nuys were delighted about the great layers. I was so quenched.

"What is the scale?

"Eh, I hear it's about a hundred people..."

"I'll be on my way. Thank you for contacting us."

"Yes, please."

I can't let anyone else handle all this on a boulder.

Or if it's around Gong, I think you'll do better than yourself. But he has many other jobs. Therefore, as the person in charge of the soy sauce face, the work of this hand has been dealt with.

◇ ◆ ◇

Opposite a group of refugees, outside the outermost walls surrounding the newly built residential district.

"Oh, are you the representative of this city?

"Yeah, that's what it is"

Representatives on the refugee side are men past fifty.

Brown hair with a touch of loneliness and wrinkled skin over there. The expression is tired and tired, and the clothes covered in dust and dust are broken or torn by the way. By the time you visit here, you'll be able to see that you've been through a lot.

Behind him like that stands around a hundred people on account. It's exactly what Sophia told me. They are also as exhausted as men. There are many women and children, among others. There are overwhelmingly few adult men.

"I heard that there are some very famous wizards in this, this city, who have prevented the magic of the Demon King from anything, and a big dragon who can obey them better..."

"Yeah, right. He's our mayor."

"Ho, is that true?

"It's true."

Somewhat different from the truth. It has not been passed on to Dada in the form of rumors or anything. It's just, well, if people eventually got together, you wouldn't have to confine yourself to so much detail.

If you started your life in this city, you would soon see the facts that led to the rumors.

Half of the city's dwellings are built by hand, one by one, by dragons that have come to the fore.

"Rumor has it, we're looking for residents here..."

"Right. It's generally not wrong."

"Ooh..."

The man's face broke into joy.

It is a dragon city that has earned it since the beginning as an accommodation town connecting the Penny Empire with the Pussy Republic. Rumor patrols seem to be pretty good, and many people come here these days, not just refugees, with rumors of this hand as their ears.

Because they say the demon king's offense is still going on.

They say demon-like demons like Lesser Demons have begun to show up in various countries. It would be a lot of effort to get rid of this because it is a painstaking process for even the Nuys. Do you think small and medium-sized villages and towns that have no power of war because of this are in the midst of chaos?

"However, it is not unconditional and provides safety and housing. If it belongs to the city, you will be asked to pay taxes as consideration. If you can't drink this, I'm sorry, but I refuse."

"Um, if you don't mind, can I ask you some more terms?

"Before I do, I'd like to ask you about your situation, would you mind?

"Yes, of course it is."

Find out why they came all the way to Dragon City from a representative man.

If there is no problem at this point, 80% of them are invited into the city.

Speaking of this case, he thought Lesser Demon and Monster had kicked him out and lost his place to live. You think the extreme lack of working men is the fact that they went to battle during the raid and stayed away from home?

Many refugees have similar backgrounds. I can't say much because I didn't actually count them, but I wonder if the proportion of women in Dragon City will exceed 60%. If you walk in a flurry downtown or something, even at night, you can look more like a woman.

"If that's the case, let's help too"

"Ho, it's true! Awesome because I don't mind!?

"Let's explain the detailed rules in this city. If you can follow us, we'll accept you all. Note, however, that this is not the case if you have problems in the city. Because it's different from the others."

"Yes, thank you very much!

Thanks to you, your virginity is a jerk and you're an eel climber.

[Sophia perspective]

Today, the maid came to Calis, the capital city.

Is it the first time I've been home in weeks?

Of course, I never came to buy powder.

It is up to Tanaka to call me yesterday, when reports of disturbances originating from the Demon King can be delivered day after day. What kind of voices, temporarily if convenient, would you like to open a store in Dragon City?

No matter how useless the parents are, they are the only flesh parents to me.

I was so glad you were worried.

I honestly sweetened him to such a suggestion, and it is in the capital city of Calis.

By the way, Mr. Elf was able to help you with the trip. The journey, which would otherwise take a few days, is an instant, if you use Mr. Elf's magic. She had business with the capital's atelier herself, or something, in the form in which she was with you?

Ten, eighty-nine, I think you cared about me. He's a really nice guy, Mr. Elf. One day, one day, I hope I can repay you for all the help you've given me so far.

That's how I invite Mr. Elf to my parents' house for lunch today.

Previously, when we visited the capital, Calis, we stayed at her house. I don't know what to say instead, but this time it's my parents' house, and it's up to me to wish you could eat something I'm proud of. I'm a helpless father, but the dishes I cook are quite good. It's delicious.

"Well, it seems to be very popular."

During lunch time, Mr. Elf was squeaked when he looked at the store where people came in and out.

It's definitely fashionable.

Is it a sight I haven't seen in a long time either that people line up outside?

The worker's billboard daughter is away, and I doubt she's playing it right.

"Yes, it seems so..."

It's just not just my parents' house that's popular.

There are also a lot of people in Micah's tool shop next door.

Both the shops across the street and its neighbors flourish in unison. Is it open to any nearby events? Occasionally, with that gathering of hands, it becomes this lively.

"Um, seats can also be provided in my room, so, uh, please, come in."

"I'm sorry I cared. I'll take care of you."

"Yes."

Ask your father about the details and he'll tell you. If you have a regular, you can visit there. Adventurers and others are informed, so if it's an event in the capital neighborhood, let me know about this with some discount.

I'm going into the store with Mr. Elf.

Then shortly after I entered the store, I was called by people I knew.

It is a well-known fact that I was away from my parents' house, so the crowd was ready. Everything was grabbed by the great nobleman, and it was your view, including that of your father, that you were in a very tough spot.

Well, I don't think I have a choice.

Because it's Mr. Tanaka.

I was just thinking of it as something that would happen, too. Instead, I wonder why you don't get your hands on it. I've never even been dictated to. Even though I treat you like every day, I feel like I haven't been dealt with, but my pride as a woman hurts me every day.

But you just feel your gaze, don't you?

To be honest, I'm not sure what he's thinking.

"... weren't they really doing anything weird?

A father, who represents himself from the kitchen, asks in front of the guests.

He's a terrible father.

I don't have enough delicacies.

Mr. Tanaka, it's less than or equal to:

"Yes, they haven't. Oh, you're doing so much better!

"Really? But what does that maid look like..."

I can understand what you're trying to say.

Maid clothes have become tame here lately.

When I wake up in the morning and notice, I'm dressed in this outfit.

"It doesn't matter. I often work for nobles now."

"Oh, really?"

"So, you know, these stories already..."

Chirali, nature and your gaze will turn to your customers.

Isn't that embarrassing?

"Oh, well, you do. But I'm glad you're safe. I'm glad you're okay, too."

…………

Which mouth would you say that with?

Thinking about how it's been, you can't believe it anyway.

"But, uh, what? Can't you live this way for the moment?

"Why not?

"Now, you see, it's a lot of danger, isn't it? Even the Pussy Republic next door is talking about eating the magic of the Demon King and the castle blowing up. Did you say Dragon City? Such a small regional city would be one shot if the Demon King attacked it."

A voice of consent also flew in from the regular people who were at the store, according to my father.

Personally, however, I think the capital, Calis, is more of a pinch.

Both Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Dragon have already left us.

"By contrast, the capital, Calis, is amazing, isn't it? The great wizard of the palace is protecting this city by following a giant dragon. Thanks to this, people are gathering from neighboring countries for a festive day after day."

I don't just tell you to look at it. I'll look inside the store and talk.

Then the face you're with, yes, I'll just nod and show it to you. There's a grin on your face without exception, so maybe you believe a story told this way from the bottom of your heart.

…………

Do you understand why shops are thriving?

Whatever the facts, perhaps such a circular fits from above.

What a complicated mood. I guess I mentioned Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Dragon at ten to eighty-nine. And you two are now back in Dragon City. Together, we're obsessed with building cities. Those who protect the capital, Calis, are no longer in the capital.

That's why I came back to my parents' house, too.

"Hmm? What are the Omaes saying?

As a matter of course, Mr. Elf raised a voice of doubt.

Then, with my father at the helm, the regular customers started talking about it, just saying, "Oh, man." A few weeks ago, Mr. Tanaka asked me about the magic of the Demon King unleashed on the capital, Kalis.

If you're a stranger, you don't have to bother to make our relationship worse until we make a leap and deny it. However, you are here now with a real father and a regular person who has long been a shopkeeper.

And not least in this maid, there is something called a compassionate heart.

Therefore, let me explain.

As far as I can tell, this is Dragon City.

◇ ◆ ◇

[Sophia perspective]

Let me tell you a lot about the people who were there.

That it was Mr. Dragon, who works as the mayor of the town in Dragon City, who saved an important part of the Penny Empire. Also, that what she is and what she is acting with is my husband now. Together, that's it again.

Fine, I might have been breathing.

Then, as my father naturally said, there was a voice of doubt.

"Is that true? With Baron Tanaka in the first place. Hey, he just got executed."

"Oh, that's not true! He's alive!

We have encountered several dangerous situations in the past, but Mr. Tanaka is still alive. Thanks to this, nowadays, it's as if I can't think of a situation in which he dies. No matter how bad you see it, the next day you're going to sneak in and show up from nowhere.

He's just someone who won't be exposed to the public anyway.

It was also rumored to be my naiveté, etc. in the fold of the dragon exorcism.

All the bad rumors have preceded us, even since we became aristocrats because of it.

"So, uh, Dad, I want you to come to Dragon City with me. Mr. Tanaka has permission. We also have shops in the first class of downtown, which can be temporary, only until the demon king's disturbance calms down, so you can say so..."

"A man at that time, well, is that what you're saying? On the boulder it is..."

Oh, yeah.

At times like this, they do say it's a good idea to involve great people.

Mr. Tanaka said.

And we're staying in Dragon City yesterday who deserves this.

"Her Royal Highness is with you! And the brave men of the west are with us!

My only testimony is just a little less influential.

I pointed my reflective gaze at Mr. Elf.

Two more than one. Larger than the two of us. I think it's important to say number. Mr. Tanaka said this too. When I work in the clerk's office, every once in a while, I show up fluttered, and you tell me all about it.

"Definitely on that point. I actually met both names, too."

I'm glad. You testified to Mr. Elf.

With this, the air on the ground changed.

Voices began to rise everywhere.

Thank you. Thank you.

I was honestly and appropriately listening to Mr. Tanaka during the course of his lecture. That's normal, I was in the momentum to laugh with my nose. But when you turn to the side that speaks for itself in this way, do you still feel something?

You can take the obvious for granted, you can talk when you need to, that's what's important.

"... is that true?

Beside my father, the merchant who had always listened in silence spoke more loudly.

You're a regular.

I remember sitting in a booze seat without many times and bragging about it.

You think you're pretty rich?

Like Mr. Tanaka, if you do it to your butt or chest, you're looking at me.

"Is that Dragon City right in a city along the border between the Penny Empire and the Pussy Republic? I do hear that the Duke of Fitzclarence took it after the Baron Tanaka family was crushed..."

Apparently, you were interested.

When it comes to it, as a dragon city bookkeeper, I just want to take the initiative to promote it. Mr. Tanaka has been willing to expand the city lately. Increasing the number of merchants coming and going here is sure to be good for the city.

"is, yes, bordering the territory with the Republic of Pussy! Oh, in that sense, Esther...... Viscount Fitzclarence is in the city too. Until the other day, we took care of you!

"Oh my god! Oh my god, is that true!?

"It's true! Um, and if you don't seem to believe me, I'd love for you to come and see it. The city was open to immigrants, and if you don't mind, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Tanaka."

"Phew, what is that again..."

Using this question as a derision, the voice of the question began to rise from everywhere in the store.

Mr. Tanaka, I did it. I did the maid.

Apparently, you got me interested.

"But then again, you seem to be doing the right thing..."

"Yes, there is no annihilation! I was just a maid!

There are many other great people, such as Master Vertical Roll and Master Aufsteiner.

Instead, let me explain what the city looks like just here.

If it spread as one of the rumors among the merchants, it is in the great interest of Dragon City. Recently, the city's income and expenditure have been rough with the reception of refugees, so even in the sense of rebuilding this, I think we should promote it well.

That way, I, too, can keep a good book.

Nuys can safely increase their feed bill.

Let's get the customer's attention even if this is not the case.

"Excuse me, I'd like to ask the editor a favor"

"Hmm? What?

"I would like to help my parents with the house for a while..."

"Oh, you mean that. Then I'll pick you up in a few days."

"Thank you very much."

Sometimes the maid wants to be with you and taste your accomplishments and stuff.

Of course I don't like rough things. You can't wave a sword, use magic, that kind of thing. It is no exaggeration, however, to call it a territory of town daughters if it is a rumor all over town. He said he didn't sign up for Dada at a restaurant.

Yeah, I'll do my best with that.

"Hey, by the way, have you eaten Meshi yet?

"Oh, that's it, but please make me and her share"

"Aye. The back seat is empty, so use it."

"Huh? Oh, but there's a customer outside..."

"It's been a long time since my daughter came back from under the nobility, I don't know if you mind a little"

"... father"

Phew, wouldn't my father, too, say something nice once in a while?

I just asked my father to eat, and I'm taking him with me to the back seat. This is a seat with all three chairs on a round table. In a position opposite this, we each calmed our hips.

"What, you're a good father"

"Perhaps so."

I don't know why you raised me properly.

Then for a while, I waited for the dish to arrive, having a public talk with Mr. Elf, etc. We won't forget to listen to customers in the middle who hear from inside the store. Apparently, Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Dragon are frequently on the subject.

Even if this is a new rumor, it seems very easy to do. Because the more I care, the more easily people talk to others. In view of previous experience, as early as a few days, I wonder if we will see any reaction.

Slightly, the meal was carried.

A huge bowl was placed, raising the hot air on the table.

"Dad, you know, what's this?

"What do you say? It's awesome. I tried to save it."

The menu is my favorite bowl thing. It will be the creative dish of the father, with ingredients on top of the staple foods. Is the point a semi-ripe egg dropped in its center? It is best to stir this with the ingredients and get momentum.

However, the bowl in front of you right now is not normal for size to ask.

I usually make it in a vessel to the extent that it can be raised in one hand, but now it's served before us. It fits in a large pan. If it was meant to be, it is something that we all use when eating surrounded by juice and other things during a slightly cooler season.

"That's a huge bowl... what kind of egg is this?

Mr. Elf looks intrigued, too.

In addition to the large bowl, the take-up plate was arranged in front of me and her.

You would say eat them separately in each.

"You two get along and eat! I rarely get it."

I'm not sure, but, well, let's just say it looks good. Even during this, a good scent stimulates the nasal cavity. It's been a long time since I've had a view, as I can't eat outside of my parents' house. I accidentally overflowed with saliva.

Besides, it's a special order specification only for today.

"I'll have it!

"Wow, can I have one too?"

Divide it from a bowl into small bowls and carry your first bite.

And then, what happened?

"Huh..."

"Oh, this..."

Delicious.

Isn't it tastier than you had in mind?

Especially the eggs on top are great.

I can't feel the original taste of the egg spreading through my mouth. Nature and hands advance. I'm losing my mouth as soon as I can, and with Mr. Elf, I'm going to do it all the way. Apparently, she liked it, too, and she's eating it unconsciously.

Mr. Elf yellow around his mouth. It's adorable.

"Oh, I think you liked how it looked."

"Dad. What egg is this egg? It's delicious."

I've never eaten such delicious eggs before.

I think I can eat as much as I want.

"No, that's what I don't even know."

"... Huh?

"We talked a lot earlier, but there would have been a magic formation down on the castle, wouldn't there? Then a big dragon came out and squirted his braces, and the sky of the capital dazzled."

"Yes..."

"I came down from the sky that day. He broke through the roof there and suddenly fell. Look, there's some repairs on the board over there, right? The floor is dented too. I fell over there. And there's no crack in the shell."

…………

Where the father's gaze directs, you do see signs of repair there. It's a trail that wasn't there before I left. The ceiling and floor are hit with nails. My amateur, too, could tell that the construction was brand new.

Thanks to this, the inner part of my mind, the feeling of anxiety, sickled.

Mr. Elf is also stopping his eating hand and staring at his father.

I've never seen her look like this before.

"I was going to gather people to eat in the near future, but if my daughter came home safe, it would be the father who would behave like this. What do you say? To be honest, I thought I could do better at the tasting stage, too."

…………

…………

"What's up? The one who says it's too delicious to explain well? No, I've had a really hard time cracking eggs. I beat him with a knife many times. At the end of the day, two neighboring weapons stores borrowed Mithril's sword and finally did it with Gatsungatun."

Your father's voice sounds strangely far away.

What shall we do?

"I also had a huge size, so you were particularly careful about boiling it down. It is a miracle that it was successfully semi-ripened. If you tell me to do it again, I can't promise the boulders all this. That's about as much of a masterpiece, this bowl...... what's up? You both look weird."

I ate it.

We've eaten.

"Hey, no way is this..."

"Ha, ha..."

Definitely.

Mr. Dragon's inert egg, it was here.

Besides, how troubling, how delicious is it? Mr. Dragon's laid eggs, they're too delicious. So much so that I understand where it came from and still strongly desire to continue eating.

From now on I will tell Mr. Dragon, what face should I see him in? At the time, her appearance as she stroked her grown own stomach, mercifully, resurrected behind her brain. Overwhelming guilt makes the mind of the maid who ate this.

…………

…………

Maybe Mr. Elf has feelings similar to mine. With a terribly complex look, you're staring at the meal in front of you. On a bowl, boiled semi-ripe, with the sight of a shapeless egg yolk loose and tangled in ingredients, badly appetizing.

"Hey, Sophia..."

"Ha, ha!

"This is, uh, what..."

"...... it's ok! I understand."

"Um, because... because. If this happens, it would be more rude not to put your hands on it. He had a hard time giving birth. Then we're probably right to have this delicious! Probably!"

"Yes, I think you're right!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mr. Dragon.

Knowing the facts, we reach for a bowl. Though I don't think so, it stretches. My favorite, which was a pile in a large bowl, was instantly diminishing and, if I realized it, the two of us were finishing our meals.

Mr. Dragon's egg, that was already delicious.

It's going to change my eyes to see that adorable figure, and I'm a little scared.
