Master Ray and Mr. Tonic have been living there for a week.

I've found a lot of things.

First of all, the cookies I was making with a mixture of ingredients the demons brought me, but the truth is, that, when people eat them, they taste terribly bad.

So much so that Mr. Tonic was reversed the moment he stumbled on one of the cookies he used to bake in his daily routine.

When I asked Arf, he returned it as a matter of course.

Says the demons do like sweets, but they don't like sweets made for humans.

The taste of demons and humans is subtly different, and it is the mixture of ingredients brought to us by demons every day that makes it an excellent sweetness for them.

But that seems to be going to be a terrible mess for humans, the late Mr. Tonic Reverse case.

I didn't notice anything at all because I didn't give it a taste when it came to snacks.

The smell also usually smelled delicious, and I didn't suspect it was "delicious" because the demons were eating it deliciously.

But the first three days I made it out of the ingredients that were originally in this cabin... In fact, they said the ingredients were also demon lovers that Arf had prepared for me.

For this reason, it was Arf who taught me how to use the ingredients the demons brought me, and all the cookies and other my rice were initially made under Arf's guidance.

Now I think Arf was teaching us how to make "demon-loving sweets" and "human-friendly foods."

Because of this, we also found that even ingredients that make demon-loving cookies adjust the formula to make cookies that even humans can taste good.

The point is, it's a matter of what you put in and how much you put in.

Okay, next thing you know, the fact is that Arf is a former demon king.

... Let's say it again.

Turns out Arf is a former demon king.

The fact that he is a former demon king.

Besides, this was pretty salaried and cummed out.

That's also the second day two people came to the cabin. After a few minutes when Ray repeated the motion of thinking about what to look at the arf and told me that if I was so concerned, I should just ask him directly.

"Arphalt, are you not a demon king, too?

"Oh, yeah." Ex. "

Cumming out like that.

And then,

"Again? The name" Arphalt "sounds familiar to me. But why would a former demon king be here?

"Hidden life. It's always been a dream to relax where nothing gets in the way."

The beginning and the end of the conversation.

……

With a brilliant reflection, Mr. Tonic quickly pulled out his sword the moment he heard "Demon King". And I couldn't help but stop moving and look at him face to face when I put my hand on the pattern in a way that could be attached to him.

Why can Master Ray normally speak to Arf, a former demon king, without alarm or hostility? In fact, Arf, he was a demon king three generations ago than the current demon king, and by then he had not yet had a territorial dispute with humans.

Besides, when Arf was playing Demon King, Ning Lo Humans and Demons were close.

That's why the name "Arphalt" remains in the literature as "Demon King," and Ray came to realize it.

But no matter how close he was to the demon king three generations ago, can he deal with things that are now "enemies" without this or vigilance?

Maybe it's the arf of the "former demon king," the mastermind that caused all sorts of territorial strife so far by blowing into the "demon king now".

When I said that, Master Ray gave me a frightened face.

"Rio, it was hundreds of years before Arfaulto was the Demon King. A demon king named" Arphalt "would have had the main book. You probably read it, too."

"... eh, that? Could it be" Arphalt "from" Man and Demon King "!? But that's about the founding of this country, isn't it?

"Man and the Demon King".

That is a story that spells out the story of the founding of this country.

It has been out of print since the territorial dispute between man and the devil tribe and is rarely seen today.

In my case, I managed to remember it as knowledge because I read it was in a library owned by Master Ray.

Hundreds of years ago, humans came to this continent, which was the home of the demons.

At that time, it was Arphalt, the demonic king of the time, who helped them to develop a part of this continent that was unfit for human beings to live on.

Sometimes we persuade the demons who hated to share their land with humans, and sometimes we go to collect medicinal herbs for humans who are unfamiliar with the environment and fall ill. Through a number of other difficulties and miseries, Arphalt and the humans forged a cross-racial bond that, thanks to his help, made this country (the Sarawan Empire) possible today.

The story.

A very incredible story from the relationship between the Demon Nation and man today.

But if Arfaulty is really the "Arfaulty" in that story, what the hell is he...

"How old are you, Earf?

"You stopped counting it a long time ago. Well, it must be slightly over 500."

"Right, 'cause this country was founded 525 years ago, and before that, demon king means more than that, right?... Well, are you sure Arf is that" Arphalt "?

"Well, you did help me build this country. I didn't think there was a story that spelled it out."

I was convinced at the same time by Arf, who said so, apparently really understood that he was that "arphalt".

If he is the same person as the story "Arphalt," there can be no such thing as "enemy" or "mastermind" as I thought.

Because he... "Arphalt" quit the Demon King to live with humans.

In "Man and the Demon King," "Arphalt" falls in love with a human daughter.

And at the end of the story, Arphalt, who saw that the land of man (the Sarawyn Empire) was safe, quit the Demon King to live with his human daughter.

It didn't say anything about what happened after that...

"Is that true, too?

"... in the name of Wemili, he was gentle and gentle."

Arf, who said so, laughed sadly, looking nostalgic, but somewhere.

Territorial strife began about 200 years after he became the Demon King after Arf, he said.

The demon king was defeated by the goddess who came to this world in the last goddess summons, and is now the demon king, and the same thing is repeated again.

When I said I should have chosen a few more pacifist demons for hindsight, I was also returned that man should not have overextended his territory.

Says that in the first place, human and demonic territory was just half a piece at a time.

As it increased the number of humans, it pioneered the woods, which were the land of the demons, burned trees, built buildings and extended its territory at will.

Originally, it was all the land of the Demon Nation, and the Demon Nation also went out to fight back, saying that the Demon Nation had only divided the land for the Demon Nation, but that there was no land to give to people who forgot their thanks and ran into selfish outrages.

Both were stupid, Arf laughed.

Stupid people who have the same language but forgot to discuss it.

So Arf never put his shoulder in either, he just said he'd been watching.

He said it was his mission to welcome man into this continent and to divide the land.

"Didn't you think to stop it?

Why did both demons and humans just watch each other get hurt, which I'm sure would be important to Arf?

"I'm sure this is necessary, too. Either perish, or both. At any rate, when this dispute is settled in some way, both humans and demons will regret, regret, mourn, grieve, anger, and think." Don't repeat it ". You just have to fight as much as you like until it seems like it. Whatever the outcome, this struggle must be necessary for the sake of the times to come. That's why I didn't stop."

I thought Arf, who could say that, must be very strong.

Later, he said the red eyes were a sign of the "demon clan," which is why Earf was changing the color of his eyes when Master Ray and Mr. Tonic arrived.

I'm not afraid of the color of the eyes you said when you met me. That's what I said.

And finally, that in this country, "translated" women shorten their hair, otherwise women have hair at least hip-length.

They say the length of the cut changes the "translation", but the length of the shoulder, like mine, is the length of the "return" or "widow" woman.

So when Arf went to the city with an improved magic formation (which had already been reported when Arf found out that he was a former demon king), he got the gaze and words of pity from all kinds of people.

It's not known how this kind of habit took root, but, well, I guess that's one of the reasons because three men say it's better than finding out that a woman in love is a translation later.

Well, I don't care why, but I've been wearing a robe and going out lately, fueled by a misunderstanding that I don't remember too much.

This way, I'm sure I'll learn a little bit about this world of reality.

With that in mind, it was around this time of day that I started living with Master Ray and Mr. Tonic and put out my energy for an early morning run that became routine.
