Dark Magician as a Hero

When the meeting with King Oberon was over and the negotiations were over, he flew away in a good mood. I literally opened the window in the conference room, stopped it and flew back. Hey, it's Osan. I was just getting ready for a reception.

And didn't you tell Lord Chris that you were going to see him tomorrow? I can't believe you're not here for as long as you want.

Well, should I tell his new wife, Vivian, that she's gone? But even if they're magically tied up, what's the nerve in making enemy agents a light daughter-in-law?

Maybe even the sacred magic of the [Goddess Engagement] will be used if the great priest Trabant doesn't point it out. Well, I'll convince you by saying you're a brave man, but if you accept everything without stress... I hope so.

The Vivien has a sister in her room among the agents who turned themselves in. My subordinates say that you are a very colorful sister with different types, and if you have all your sisters, you think it is already a blessing. If I don't have a job, I'd like to go check it out... but I can't, I'm busy because I'm chewing on a cold desk in the conference room right now, oh, it feels cold and good...

"I'm tired... why don't I listen to him so much... honestly, I can sleep like this"

"Well done, Carl. You scared me."

Jeanne, even if everyone thinks so, don't talk about it. Jeanne served me a cup of tea, lying on my desk in the conference room.

I'm sure she was tired because she stayed nervous all the time behind me during the meeting. Otherwise, it's a meeting with the king of a country, and even if you try to behave brightly, your voice is mixed with fatigue.

Until Princess Titania, who had entered into marriage without my knowledge, arrived at his mansion by clinging to the hero. She's married to Princess Roufey, so she's got one or two.

But afterwards, we had to discuss how to pay for the Demon King species' nucleus... which was really difficult to navigate.

Why? Because King Oberon basically doesn't listen to people and decides to talk on his own, negotiations are about to end. Stopping and modifying each time, triple the normal negotiation is tiring, and even talking is energetic because it is strong.

It's amazing who's entrusted with diplomatic negotiations, I can't do it. Negotiations may shift to physical language (beatings) due to stress along the way.

Hmm... this is the meeting with the ruling king? The King (Oyaji), who is sweet and easy to talk to only my relatives, has a nervous breakdown that is unmatched. In the meantime, I rubbed Jeanne's tits for healing... I was wearing armor, dammit.

"Karl, if you're tired, why don't you take a rest? Unshamefully, this Jeanne will be sleeping with you."

"I can't say that, but King Oberon is gone. Tell the person in charge that we're going to have a banquet in the name of a comfort party. Tell Count Mondovan to come to the office because I need to talk to him."

"I see. Hauu... I was afraid of Ojisan, so I wanted you to comfort me..."

It is a habit to put things that I always think of as caution directly into my mouth, but only this time, I feel that the rough feeling has somehow been healed. Instead of thanking him, he kissed and gently stroked his butt before sending Jeanne out.

Which one was healed by the pretty Jeanne's illuminated face, so let's clean up another pile of paperwork.

The intelligence officers who turned themselves in handled the high-priority items. Preparations for the ceremony to declare the cultivation of the last two weeks can begin at any time with the dedication of the ministers. Until yesterday, the Shura Hall had passed away and I could afford it... but I had more trouble (work) just now.

"Is it a trading port...?

The ministers are resting, so only Count Mondovan can talk to them right away. I'm really glad that this person is here to listen to me without showing me a disgusting face.

Only a very small part of the Laron region faces the sea in the Kingdom of Marne, and the majority of the population has never seen the sea. Then I got this suggestion because it would interfere with future deals.

"Yes, at the suggestion of King Oberon. We don't have the know-how to build a port in this landlocked country, so we have to provide materials and dispatch craftsmen to cover the cost of the Demon King species' magic nucleus. The cost of architecture is over there, and security is over here."

"What about your Majesty?

"If the king tries to answer vaguely or postpone things, he decides things on his own, so he doesn't have time to consult. I think it is good to report afterwards because there is a quality that you can leave it to me. Excuse me, Count Mondovan, but please summon the Birdmaster."

As soon as the Count's hand glowed, five wizards flew up and aligned neatly by the window.

This magician summoning is the foundation of summoning magic, but since the difficulty of summoning magic is very high in the first place, there are very few magicians. Thinking so, my daughter, Miss Murphyza, is very good.

"The place is on the west coast where we handed over the food, and as soon as we fly back, we'll arrange the materials and the craftsmen, so we have to hurry and send the guards and the people to learn how to do it...."

King Oberon flew home saying, "Let's hurry up and arrange it," so at that rate, he's going to bring the materials to the ship right away. Hurry up and we'll have to send someone.

"You won't make it to the ceremony, and if you want to learn architectural and repair know-how, you need to have some knowledge, and if you can, you need to be educated as a professional craftsman, at least as an engineer."

Knowledge is required to maintain the harbor, but even if it is sent only by craftsmen, we must now consider dealing with sea monsters.

We can send caloric soldiers, but even now the number of people exploring the eastern grasslands is critical, and sending guards to the coast will delay the exploration.

There are many adventurers and mercenaries, but if they are not a well-led group, it can be a diplomatic problem, so I don't think we should send many individualistic adventurers.

There's no such a convenient group to deal with monsters, in addition to the abundance of people who are disciplined and able to build positions. Really?

I was worried about what was going on, and Salima, her son Mahendra, and several other subordinates came to report, so I had them come to the office.

"Master Carl, my men have come back with armor ants, but it's a lot, so can I dismantle them in the stadium?

"Ah, Mr. Salima, welcome home. I came to report yesterday, but I'm sorry I didn't show my face, I don't mind using the stadium as much as I like."

Salima looks at her, and the men behind her run towards the outside. Armor ants are excellent materials, so if you bring them to King's Landing, you'll get a lot of profit.

I have received a report of the incident that occurred during the escort mission in the document, but the story of the demon king species being defeated by the boulder is not well understood in the document, so I was about to receive a report directly from Salima.

The Count of Mondovan, sitting beside him, hugged Salima. My men, including my son, who was standing behind me, were all of a sudden surprised.

"Hey! This is all of a sudden... are you kidding me?

"I'm glad you remembered, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't get in touch with you!

The Count kneels before Salima and kisses the back of his hand. That's for sure... is it an old-fashioned way to propose to a woman from a man you only see in plays now?

"Don't be like that! What are you doing, Maraj? Don't be shy all of a sudden!

"Whatever they say, they're telling me how frank I feel. I gave up seeing you again... Salima, I missed you. Let me apologize first."

I saw the Count sending a hot gaze to Salima, and it was bad to leave him behind, so I gave up receiving the report from Salima for now. And the Count and I chased him into the guest room. It is troublesome to have a touching reunion in the office.

I heard more from my son, Mahendra, and the men he brought were on their way to dismantling. Then they came back an hour later. I smelled a little sweaty... but what were you doing in your room? Mr. Mahendra, who was waiting in the separate room until they came back, looked stunned.

"Hey, I've got a story to load up on, and I'm thrilled."

Count Mondovan's smile was already refreshing and I figured out what was going on, but it would be wild to put it in his mouth. The Count said he regretted breaking up with her so much that his daughter had the same haircut as Salima.

"The Count is not a minister, so I don't care where he goes, but remember this is my mansion... and that's what I just said about the trading port."

"If it's a complicated story, could you spare me some time?

When it comes to politics, a single mercenary says nothing good, and Salima and Mahendra take their seats. Nevertheless, I need you to listen to this story because you are the main one.

"No, Salima, listen to me. I asked Mr. Mahendra," The Dragon Mercenary Regiment of Hot Sand ", and we can build it ourselves, and other units will ask for it, right?

"If you have 3,000 people, you can't ask for extra help. Besides, this hands-on experience is crushing, so if you do well, you'll be steady."

When asked in detail, Salima often asks her subordinates to help farmers during the peasant season, when she has little work as a mercenary, and often lets farmers with no manpower join her son-in-law or daughter-in-law.

I was asked to help under various other craftsmen, and if they needed help with apprenticeships, they were doing a lot to keep their men steadfast.

Still, there are limits to her mercenary regiment, even if she could not be steadfast, because she has experienced many occupations.

Especially when it comes to civil engineering work that is crushing and treasured during the war, as Salima said, most of the members of the regiment are handled by artisans and can be hired as engineers.

I'm sure you've heard this story. There's someone close to you. I smile naturally, but for some reason Salima is pulling a little. I think Mr. Mahendra is scared, but I think it's his fault.

"Um, Carl? If there's anything I can do for you, I'd like you to talk to the Mahendra guy..."

"Wait a minute, Mom, I just got back from escort duty, so I'm asking...."

Yeah, well, he's the one who wraps up the Mercenary Corps, so I'm jealous of his good track record. I'm going to have a trace soon, ahahaha.

"As a reward, I will give Mr. Mahendra the rank of Vicomte and 3,000 gold coins in advance, so please provide the escort during the construction of the trading port on the coast where the food was last handed over until the port is ready (...), of course we will prepare food and other supplies here."

Heh?

Yes?

Salima and Mahendra look around at my request. The look on my face when I was surprised was quite similar, it was my mother and son.

"I'm sorry to come back so early, but I'll build a trading port on the coast I traded with, so I'll need you to escort me there, and learn your know-how while I help the craftsmen. I will make you Count from Count to Count as Lord of the harbor, if you can."

"What kind of reason is that? Don't tell me to fix the only port in this country. Atashi and the others are a large group of mercenaries."

"I'm thinking about the area. If we can only rule the port town by one family on a boulder, it has to be quite a scale, so the salimans are going to be in charge of basic city and street security, and repairing the port."

Other experts in charge of commercial transactions, experts in controlling imports and exports, or experts entrusted with diplomatic negotiations with craters. I intend to make it a town ruled by several aristocracies. Well, I'm pretty sure they're all my stepsons.

"It may be a shame you can't attend the festival at the right time, but I know the king of the crater, so it's quick to talk to him.

"No, it's just... the escort mission is over..."

I grabbed Mr. Mahendra's shoulder as hard as I could. I smiled as gently as I could, and the threat continued to persuade him...

"Yes, it's strange that you don't have a family name even though you're a Vicomte, how about the Raja family? The Viscount of Raja. The Count, if the harbor is ready. Well done, Count Mahendra Raja."

"Yes! It hurts... oh, wait... suddenly something happened..."

Why are you looking so scared, Mr. Mahendra? I'm just grabbing my shoulders with both hands. My grip can crush the monster's skull.

"I'll give a knight to Salima's son and the head of the mercenary regiment, and I'll think of the baron as soon as I can... my subordinates will be steadfast if they're my ministers... so... yeah... hey! Lord Raja."

"Higiiii! Yes, I understand! Thank you!

Oh, thank you for accepting me so much, what a great birth. Self-indication that tears are a little tearful is done. Well, I can't be a little confused, but honestly, there's no one more qualified than you.

"Mahendra, it's not unusual for a client to be reckless. Instead, can I simply give you a title by asking for an escort while you're building your base?

"It doesn't matter, honestly, if no one can cure it even if it's pioneered, it just gets rough. Giving you a title means you have permission to rule the land, which means you have the backing of your country."

It also makes sense to boost morale by setting an example of how you can become nobles, but I don't think you need to say that.

Now that we have safe access to vast grasslands, it is quicker to rebuild places where people lived until about fifty years ago than to build villages from further land.

And instead of setting up the people sent from the center, there is no rebellion for the people on the scene to heal, so the people who heal will be given a title.

If we hear that Salima's son, who has a popular and multi-faceted hand, has helped the demon king to crush the species and become a Vicomte, there will be more people who want to grow up. I don't know because brave men are exceptions.

"Thank you so much for buying Atashi and others. Ola, how long have you been stunned, Mahendra, you noble wish, chest tight, face forward. I'll kick your ass if you're still in trouble!

"But, Mother! All of a sudden, when I say" nobleman "... what should I do, bhah!

Salima, who kicked Mr. Mahendra in the back, still confused, kicked him in the no-motion kick, but his power was so powerful that he could fly to the wall.

"You said goodaguda about the monkey you got! Go to the coast and guard them for now. Then think straight away."

"Ufufu... I see, mom... ufufu"

Ah, Mr. Mahendra fell down with a bubble wipe. It looks like the boulder did a lot of damage because of the surprise kick. Salima also looks like, "Ah, yabe." The Count is healing Mr. Mahendra without saying anything.

"It was a ceremony at the Founding Fatherland Festival that was officially approved by the state and handed over the aristocracy register, which is proof of nobility, but I'm sure it was decided. In the meantime, just because I have more titles doesn't really change my job, it's okay, I'll follow you."

In fact, nobility as a child of local nobility is basically a knight, but it's not much different from actually collecting mercenaries. Commanding combatants and protecting non-combatants is the basic thing.

"Don't worry, I'm sending civilians from the country, and I'm not leaving it up to Salima and the others. It's just a sudden decision, so it only takes time to decide who to send."

"With the magic tool of telephone calls from King Oberon, I can ask the caloric family for directions, and I won't have to think hard, because I'm the son of Salima, and I'll help you as much as I can."

The Count holds Salima's shoulder subtly and appeals to him that he can count on. Whoa, whoa, that's aggressive. Salima-san doesn't seem to be satisfied either... or the feeling of shame is terribly colorful. If you're over forty years old and this is it, it's very popular.

"Then I'll leave a lot of armored ants in the carriage, so please lend me the carriage. Are you sure you want to start tomorrow with a minimum of 1,000 people who didn't join the escort and the remaining 2,000 people ready to leave?

Mr. Salima's request is no different, so I will let him take the warehouse equipment as he likes. It was prepared for an expedition to destroy the Demon King species, so it is easy to carry and put together.

"Please use water magic to produce a large amount of drinking water later, it is necessary for long-term collective action. You may be on the side of the Crater Kingdom, but it's easier to get help from family members than from other countries."

Apparently, her mercenaries have few magicians and no one can use water magic. He used to be, but he seems to live in a distant town with a sense of steadfastness. Well, whether or not you can produce potable water, wizards are a lot of trouble.

"Then recruit someone from the adventurer... the water wizard lives safer in the city than the usual adventurer."

There are a lot of adventurers, but I rarely hear rumors of water wizards. For some reason, water wizards can live a wealthy life without risking their lives, rather than having to eat in a slightly larger town.

"Dear Carl, my daughter Murphyza is good at water magic. Can I have my mother accompany me until the soldiers are sent from the center?

"Miss Murphyza is really entertaining, as long as the Count is good. Do you have a good job as a court sorcerer? She would have been entrusted to the marshal's secretary."

Yes, as Count, I was going to bring him here to see his mother, but I was quick to give Chris the status of Marshal as a reward. Megas Mondovan, the Count's father and chief court sorcerer, twisted his granddaughter to become Lord Chris's secretary.

"It won't be a problem until people come from the center."

If that's what our father says, there's no stopping it. Miss Murphyza would also be a great opportunity to interact with her brothers and sisters.

"If that's the case, I'll get ready right away. Now, what will your sons look like when they see a murphyza just like you?

The fainted Mahendra was lightly in charge and Salima left the office. I went with Count Mondovan, but I'm sure he wants to stay with Mr. Salima.

It took less than two weeks for the ceremony and the start of the festival to finally be freed from the business of the Shura Hall.
