Hyaku Ma No Aruji

76 Episode: Lord of the Demon King and Keeper of Nostalgia

The next time Merea met was' The Golden Deceased ', who, somehow, had his reclining carriage held back and walked wide across the city's boulevards from the western side of Lemuse.

Chau-Jules Sherwood.

Awful pseudonym.

Give a name to the genealogy of "Alchemy King" - he is the Demon King.

Shaw was walking cleverly sewing the hedgerows as he let his sagging golden thread hair wind, glistening with parchment paper in one hand.

The carriage behind me already has a youngster who hired him in from somewhere, and this again cleverly manipulates the horse with a reins.

"I feel like I'm going to live on my own if I leave this guy alone anymore..."

Merea spun those words far-sightedly before Shaw noticed this one.

There was such a color on my face that I was frightened and then a little funny.

After a while, as Shaw approaches, he finally realizes what Merea looks like.

He had a refreshing grin on his face, raising one hand.

"Hey, my lord."

"I don't know, it sounds disgusting"

Melea also took another step over to Chau shrugging her shoulders as she returned her greeting with a light motion she was accustomed to.

Shaw, just a little taller than Melea, welcomed Melea into his own time without building a single wall, like a young man who was in an old friend and could flaunt his face with nature.

From the side, they only looked like normal young people who seemed close.

No one would have noticed - if they hadn't known beforehand - that they were men called 'Demon Kings'.

"Really? I'm still quite grateful to you."

"Because we could have created a new chamber of commerce branch in Lemuse?

"Well, to the Lord."

"Honest and good"

Merea smiled bitterly and Shaw smiled.

It was never an unpleasant exchange.

It's a common, light-hearted statement.

But Merea also knew by this time that only a few, dark things would mix in Shaw's smile, which was sometimes close to its perfection.

I don't know if it's because Shaw is allowing himself to, or if Melea's eyes have gotten sharper in that sense.

Seeing that, Shaw seemed likely to have something else in his chest that he had hidden in Shaw - but Merea didn't dare ask.

Sometimes we are convinced that we have a lot more trust in each other, but still we are still incomplete.

I didn't think Melea needed to be so hasty to understand when it came to such an individual's mind.

I trust you properly in the pivotal part.

- That's enough now.

"What have you been doing today?

"Well done. Ask. Finally, I was able to start trading with the western countries of Lemuse."

"Huh?"

Shaw has opened the Sherwood Chamber of Commerce branch to Lemuse and since then has done everything in his power to revitalize that branch.

The Sherwood Chamber of Commerce branch of Lemuse was also connected to the wallet of the Union of Demon Kings at the same time.

That branch does not change its appearance into a common chamber of commerce branch, but its fruit is also the 'cloth that wraps the wealth of the Demon King'.

Based on the Sherwood Chamber of Commerce, which has already secured a distribution route, commodities and others are collected and circulated by the Demon Kings of the Purse (Listal), and based on Shaw's inadvertent possession of the status of Demon King called the Alchemy King, it is also an almost independent Demon King organization.

Even the table can be an unwanted troublemaker if it comes up with such a nature or name, so I'm just still passing through it because it means Sherwood Chamber of Commerce Branch.

"So you seem in a good mood?

"Haha, that's the place"

Surprisingly, it was Shaw himself who adopted such a proposal.

Though Schau was likely to deviate from the usual track and show obsession with the purse situation from Mizu, his obsession is also suitable for a large cloth bag called 'The Wallet of the Union of Demon Kings' as it stands.

Or maybe he thinks he's "found a good place to invest," or he's plotting to broaden the base of business even further from here.

But in any case, it was a comforting situation for the demon kings.

Although I was a little hesitant, I had the reassurance that if I let this guy handle the financial situation of the organization for the first time.

"I don't mean to suspect anything, but I thought Shaw would go outside once he had one paragraph."

Now that the threat of Mooseg is lurking the ringing, Shaw, with chamber branches all over the eastern continent, will be able to go anywhere.

But Shaw never left Lemuse for too long.

As often as I open a few days and go shopping in other city countries, I always come back, and after spending a few days in my own room at Starwood Castle, I do things again at the Chamber of Commerce branch. It even feels like it's becoming a habit.

Apparently, while working in commerce, he was also aware of his relationship with the Demon Kings.

"I am I, and there is something I think, my Lord?

"Stop calling me that, Mariza's all I've got"

"Ha, because we should keep our weaknesses"

That's a lesson.

Oh, boy. Melea shrugged her shoulders again.

Shaw, who saw it, also let him exhale with his nose, "Ma, I don't want to be like that odd maid," and then returned to the topic.

"- To return, the great merchants and the Hordes, who feared being sidelined by Mooseg on the trade road, finally trusted the recent weakening of Mooseg's momentum to ease the restrictions on trade to the east. This will restore a lot of logistics. It was worth the continued slapping on their asses."

"Do it."

Shaw is really competent.

Melea doesn't doubt it there.

Perhaps if this man had not been in his possession, the Demon Kings would have been placed under harsher circumstances.

"You say it often, Melea. Originally, if you hadn't destroyed Mooseg all by yourself, there wouldn't have been a resumption of this trade."

"It's a theory of results. It's not enough to get rid of it."

"No. You can be more proud of yourself. I am afraid and in awe of your overwhelming violence."

Shaw said to Melea in a clear tone.

I exaggerate, even as I do my hand on my mouth and show it with my index finger pointing straight at the sky.

There was a smile on his face, but his voice was unexpectedly a little low, which was otherwise a serious tone.

Next, Shaw put one hand on his hips and put forward to offer the other hand he had left in his mouth to continue the conversation further.

"I'm the only one who can't get through the power of gold properly, and I'll do my best to be awed. Your overwhelming force and violence is exactly that. The fictional authority created by man - that is, gold (money) - probably doesn't make sense to you when you do it head-on. The authority you deal with is more original as an organism and therefore the most powerful."

"I exaggerate."

While I say it, neither does Melea ignore it at all.

I knew what Shaw was going to say, and I was aware that I had to always be aware of that.

Because Mooseg uses that kind of power best.

And Shaw is right, he would be one of those who uses that power as a weapon himself.

If you forget that, sooner or later, the force itself could hurt you.

That's what it is.

- The violence.

"But you seem to think a lot about it with you, so I'm not particularly worried about the rampage, etc. In the first place, authority is above you."

"But if I'm about to go the wrong way, I promise to beat him up and have him put back on the same path."

"You just have to leave that area to the brain muscle group."

"Like Salman?

"Yeah. And I think Miss Lilium will do something pretty tight, too"

"Lilium is not a brain muscle group."

"Hmm, well, so is that. - No, you're about halfway in, aren't you? That lady."

As Merea pointed it out, Shaw laughed.

"Personally, I think she can get into both.... Somehow I was the first demon king I met when I climbed that spiritual mountain, and I had quite a conversation while climbing the spiritual mountain, and it was somewhat thoughtful. Yeah, the strength of my flanking powers had something to keep an eye on."

"It doesn't seem like it's the thoughts of men and women."

"My lover is gold."

"I thought I'd say it all," said Melea, grinning bitterly, then taking her gaze off Shaw.

That's how Merea turned around. Ahead, Shaw also turns his gaze in a continuing motion.

There was a big star tree ahead of them when they looked up.

And it is also the place for the two of us to go home - Star Tree Castle, which is built so that we are likely to stop by that great star tree.

Around there are dwellings and merchants of the people of Lemuse, even a clock tower with bells to give, and from its streets you cannot grasp the full capacity, but you can still see the tall castle that soars toward the sky.

"- Well, then it's time for me to go. I need to get a record of my income and expenditure for this transaction."

"Good luck."

"The gold account is my blissful time, so hey! I won't let anyone get in the way. Yo!

- I knew something was wrong.

In contrast to the plethora of golden deceased until crisp, Merea returned with a sigh on her eyebrow butt lowered grin.

That's how I gently tapped Shaw's shoulder before slipping next to that carriage loaded with some traded goods.

And, as I recall at the end, Melea turns around and stops Shaw.

"Oh, yeah, I was wondering if you could do me a favor."

Shaw had also noticed Merea's voice and looked back at her body halfway.

"What's up?

"We're all in the castle today, so why don't we have a 'dinner party'?"

There is also the return of Elma and Shaw, and most demon kings are returning to the castle today.

Merea was suggesting something like that when she realized it.

At the beginning of my tenure, there were various job divisions and policy consultations, and I had dinner parties every day, but I started acting to replenish my immediate supplies in three or four days from there, so it's been a while.

"Nice. Then let's do that. Among the products I have just purchased was sheepmeat native to the Karsna Plains, so I decide to cook and serve the area."

Among the words Shaw even spun, was the unique name of the surrounding terrain recently taught to Marisa.

"Nice, but the sheep eating the grass in the meadow over there have a strong taste."

"That's right. - Apparently, that odd maid of honor class is working quite well, too. Still spicy for me, but let's take a look at that."

Merea gasped in a small way at the fact that her answers suited her subtly, grinning at Shaw's blur.

"I'm gonna walk a little longer and then I'm gonna go home, so just tell everyone that."

"As you wish."

Waving again, Shaw was respectful, then, as usual, he returned a little deliberately, and Merea's bitter smile grew again.

Melea also stepped out into the hustle and bustle of Lemuse, leaving behind in her brain the remnants of a streamlined prayer like a stand-up actor.
