Familiar ... but in a space surrounded by home appliances that haven't been seen and touched for a long time-there were a few people sitting in front of me.
"I'm sorry ... my life is going to get worse-"
"Rejected"
"Well, then ... how can we apologize to Zion for this folly ..."
Seated with tragic feelings-those who were assigned to the units of Chloe and Leila.
The reason why Chloés are so sad is that they failed my ordeal.
There are 89 newly acquired "territories" in this reign.
There were 113 human beings in the area covered by Governance. Ten people fled out of control of Governors soon after receiving my recommendation, eight were killed by Chloé's units ... and six were killed by Leyla's units.
"And, well ... Husband. With that much of an attack--"
"Red! Do not be silent! We could not fulfill the life of Zion-sama ... Then it is reasonable to take responsibility!"
"Cho !? I'm not killing Oira!"
"Blue! Don't make excuses!"
Red desperately makes an excuse and is exclaimed by Leila, while Blue excuse himself for being justified by Chloe.
"Sion .... Would you give me compassion aside from their achievements?"
"What kind of mercy?"
Izayoi calls out to me who is worried that it is troublesome.
"Of course, the mercy they want-death."
"Rejected"
I was stupid, expecting even a little bit of Izayoi's advice. Chloe, Leila, Isaiyoi ... These three-the fanatic trio don't say good opinions.
From now on, even though one person has to increase many kins, what is sad and must reduce kins.
It's troublesome ... Does order solve the problem forcibly? -
"Sion! Don't worry about the details. It's okay because you succeeded.
"you!"
"I'm profane!"
"Thank you! Depending on the circumstances, this Izayoi will do my best-"
-Shut up!
Forcibly shuts the mouth of the trio of fanatics who are sick of Takaharu's words.
――!
Meal ... not bad.
"I've decided. I'll punish you."
"" "Hah!" "
"The punishment you give is-without rice"
"" "... Huh?" "
"What !? Pia, not too much !?"
Chloe stunned by the punishment she gave and blue wrapped in despair.
"Kakkakka! It's miserable ...
"These guys have achieved the challenges of Zionchi.
Takaharu smiles with a big mouth open and Sara smiles with a nasty smile.
"Takaharu, Sarah. Don't provoke. Can I give you the same punishment?"
――What !?
I pointed a mean smile at Takaharu and Sarah, and they both walked away.

"Is the dish decided?"
Ingredients are sufficient because they were procured in "Government" earlier.
"Curry!"
"Seafood bowl!"
"Is it omurice?"
"Tonight my throat is asking for blood ... steak, rare!"
"It's white rice and miso soup ... it would be great if you had grilled fish."
Former Demon King who is looking forward to cooking is brilliantly divided. After that, barren quarrels by former demon kings continue.
"Curry in Kanazawa!"
"Mr. Takaharu. This is not Kanazawa City."
"It's good to have Komake!"
"The freshness of the seafood bowl is important!"
"Then, white rice and miso soup ... sashimi! What about this?"
"Yatarou, isn't it enough for Shiron to make something made by Zion?"
"I want to eat white rice and miso soup made by hand."
"Sabrow and Yatajii aren't participating in Governance. You have to say something!"
Why are they arguing in my room? In the first place, if it's a story about rice, I don't care ...
"So, what do you think of Zion?"
"... what?"
A barren arguing rushes to me.
"So, curry, seafood bowl, omelet, steak and grilled fish ... which one is better?"
"Rare is missing!"
"White rice and miso soup are missing too."
Takaharu repeats more words to me, and Saburo and Yatarou raise a loud protest.
"I don't need rice. I don't need my opinion."
"... What? You may not need it, but you can eat rice? And you have a taste?"
Takaharu repeats words in a muffled tone.
...... meal? Taste?
Since I became a demon king, my meals have been sparse or water.
I had become accustomed to living without food and sleep in nature. Train if you have time to eat. If you have time to sleep, you will be thinking.
――All your time has been allocated to survive.
I don't think this way of life is right. I'm alive now. Proving that it is the largest demon king in Ishikawa Prefecture.
That's why I couldn't swallow Takaharu's words to eat.
"... On! Sion! Are you listening?"
Takaharu's voice awakens my consciousness drowned in the sea of thought.
"Ah, uh ... I'm listening."
"And what's good about Zion?"
"Yes ..."
Curry, seafood rice bowl, omurice, steak, grilled fish ... honestly, everything was fine.
"... It's curry and rice."
Somehow, I uttered a nostalgic dish name.
◆
Two hours later.
"Sion, you're ready."
Called by Canon, I headed for a meal prepared by the former Demon Kings.
"Hey……"
When I arrive at the place to eat, I suddenly say no words.
About 15 minutes walk from the cave where I live. There was a large desk and chairs for the number of people on the riverside where the sunshine leaked through the trees.
The babbling of the flowing river in the light of the sun shining from the sky ... It was a vampire killing location where everything felt uncomfortable.
"... I'm going home."
Despite being accustomed to the sun, I can't deny collapse. I immediately try to return to my cave at home, but ...
"Wow! Pcho ... Sion!"
"Sion ... Build friendship with his subordinates ... Isn't this the mission of those who stand on top?"
Kanon stops me from returning in a hurry, and Yatarou asks me in a gentle voice.
Subordinates-In other words, subordinates. My relationship with me is bound by absolute command. You don't have to ask for a complexion ...
Friendship, loyalty – there are certainly uncertainties that cannot be seen on a smartphone screen.
Eat together. If this alone improves your relationship with your subordinates, you don't consume CP, and is COSPA good?
"Let's go indoors next time ..."
I muttered grumpy and sat on a prepared chair.
