I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island

Ten days after delivering the beans to Nils, Fleur made a comment while drying the coffee beans.

"This coffee bean is still alive."

Did not the embryos die just by drying?

"How weak are you?"

"Hmm. Captain on the sandy beach for about three days"

I remember that kind of thing.

"If you die, you die while you're in the warehouse and carrying it by boat."

"Yes, but it's definitely not, so if you buy a lot of these bags and blow them all out, they may sprout."

Certainly, there is absolutely no need to take any countermeasures considering the scarcity.

"Whether it is better to boil it, or if it germinates only a few, it takes time to ship it, considering the amount of harvest, and it takes time to ship it. Do you? "

"Cut the root of the branch, cut it first so that it will not grow any more, drop the lower leaf, and after about two months new shoots will come out, the roots will come out."

"Quite fast, what should I do?"

"If you take root, I'll leave it to Calm.

Saying so, Fleur returned to the original flower. For now, let's believe what he said and pray for the germ to die.

◇

Twenty days later. Palma was informed that a merchant had entered the bay, and she dropped her anchor and arrived here in a small boat.

Nils was waving.

When I went to the coffee shop to check the stock, I received a letter from the master, and after reading it lightly, I wrote something like this.

"I'm going to buy coffee beans on that island. One person told me to teach me how to roast coffee beans, so I have three companions. ''

It was written briefly.

"Long time no see"

"No, I was taken care of at that time."

"No, it's a great development. There are many small facilities and fields even though it is smaller than the villages around it."

"We will continue to develop it in the future, so thank you again at that time."

"Okay, thank you at that time. And here is my companion--

"I'm Alban, thank you. I've been with these two directors to spread the word."

Dressing is pants, shirt, tie and casual. An elderly man with a pin, a stretched spine and a dignified expression, perhaps a butler or something.

"I'm Tony, I came to learn how to make and brew coffee."

The appearance of this race seems to be something like a cook, just like the stranger townman.

"I am Anita, I came to learn how to brew coffee and make sweets."

A little plain shirt and skirt, maybe a little dirt conscious. And maybe I think it's a maid, I'm making sweets.

"It's called Calm, as you can see, he's a demon, but he's in charge of this island."

"That's why, I want you to tell them immediately, is that OK?"

"I don't mind, I'll walk a bit ... but we're constructing a village a little above here, so let's use that multi-purpose house."

"What is a multipurpose house?"

"It's the same, there's a little more room for meetings, so it's used for banquets and for educating children."

"Ho"

Alvin-san muttered only one word, and continued walking silently, but more questions were asked.

"What is that fence?"

"Why do you raise fish?"

"Is this road so wide, assuming the carriages pass each other?"

"Is there any rumor that the demon has settled in and built a castle?"

I asked them all the time, so I explained everything. Nils is listening for the first time since she developed, so she is interested.

"This is the site of the Devil's Castle construction site that I mentioned earlier, so we are making effective use of the place. The house for visitors is here, so please leave your baggage even in the dining room, someone I'd like you to clean and dry your bedding in the sun. ''

Say that and guide them to a house near the church.

"understood"

"Please forgive me though it is a little inconvenient. I will give a brief explanation of the house as soon as the course is over, so if you do not understand, please ask again at that time."

"I'm grateful just to sleep on the ground, sleep on a boat I'm not used to was so sleepy and tired."

The two people on the back nod, cruising is little experience. I didn't mind unless it was a storm.

Then, Mr. Oda is called and the lesson on how to make and brew coffee begins.

"It's not really something special, but you can see it here. This is the beans before shipping."

Oda sprinkles dried beans from a small bag on a piece of white paper.

"I roast this and divide it into about eight kinds, that's it."

With that said, on eight sheets of paper, take out dark brown beans with a shine from light brown to almost black.

"Light-colored ones are lightly roasted and deeply roasted. The lighter-colored ones have more sourness, and the darker ones have more bitterness and richness."

When I talked to Oda about the letter, I was happily brewing coffee beans, but I guess I was going to open a workshop or something like this.

I guess you don't say that it's a blend, you've heard how many types of beans are roasted, and what the mix ratio is.

`` If you want to refresh your head, I recommend this roasting method, and this is what everyone receives, but the darker the color, the more milk and sugar it is recommended So please roast according to your tastes. "

It is really easy for even amateurs to explain. I understand. I just roasted it by imitating it.

"It's okay to use a hole in such a thin iron so that the beans do not fall off, but you can also do it in a frying pan, so I'll show you an example first."

With that said, I put the beans in a frying pan and shake it often.

"It's time to start crackling, and when you roast it, it will start to steam. And you'll get the unique aroma of coffee."

With that said, I sometimes take out the beans, and this is around, this is around here, and I'm going to put more and more beside the beans on the paper. I've shaken the frying pan for more than 20 minutes. At that time, I simply thought that roasting should be darker, but I was ashamed.

Then the roasting lecture is over, and this time it will be a lecture on how to grind.

"Depending on whether the grind is rough or fine, the difference in the way of brewing and the degree of extraction will also change. The store does not filter the crushed beans for hygiene, but if you are concerned about the crushed beans, such a cloth Put the beans in the bowl and slowly pour hot water.

Mr. Oda takes out the beans roasted to his liking from another bag and does not go to the fine grinding, but he pulls it to the roughness of the shop and puts the coffee into the cloth filter neatly. Each time hot water is added, mokomokomoko and beans swell in the filter, add hot water before the foam comes out of the beans, and coffee accumulates in the cup.

"here you go"

"I saw it for the first time, but it was beautiful without any hesitation in movement."

"If you do it many times, you will naturally wear it, it will cool down, please."

I say that and hand out the coffee to the three, by the way, I am not there. It was a little terrible to grind the beans with the back and make soy milk.

"This is soy milk, but there are no cows on this island, so it's a substitute for milk. Well, I like this too, so please match it to your preference."

And the lecture is over, letting you do what you actually taught. It was noted that the fire was strong, it burned immediately, and the heat flow was not uniform, and it was slightly uneven.

"So I'd like to teach you how to make sweets using cocoa and chocolate."

Anita-san turned to me.

"... Ah, I'm a confectioner, are you me? I just forgot, I wonder if there was something. Ah, you have some knowledge, right?"

"Yes, we make it well"

That said, I fished the kitchen and had enough of the ingredients for the chiffon cake I made for the kids, so mix the cocoa powder with the flour and make it as usual. After the baking, I put the chopped chocolate and finished it.

`` I made the cake easily, but just mix the cocoa powder with the flour and it will be so good, so try to arrange the recipe yourself, maybe it's a castella or something good, with eggs and sugar and flour I can do it. "

"No, I think Mr. Calm, who can make such amazing things flow, is amazing."

"I'm used to it."

Well, I think Oda-san said a similar word a while ago.

After that, Alban listened to various things, watching the beans roasted by Oda and Tony, teaching Anita a recipe that works well, wrapping chocolate sold at a convenience store in bread dough and baking it. It was a very fulfilling day to try.

"I think it's better than the cabin, but all rooms are private rooms, but it's small."

"I'm grateful just to say it's a private room. Thank you for your kindness."

"No, no, this is a bath."

I will guide you to a small, small bathroom with your knees.

"A bath ...?"

"Well, there was a bathing area underneath, but sometimes I want to soak in warm water, so I recommend that you make it at each home. Boil the hot water in this specially made large shank pan with a slightly high oven, insert this wooden frame into the side when it springs up, remove the plug to prevent burns, remove the hot water from the side of the pot and take a bath Just pour it in. If you can use magic, you just pour water into the pot. "

I tried to make a wood-burning bath or a Goemon bath, but after considering various materials and various factors, it was concluded that this was the lowest cost, so I cut out the wall of the bath and poured it into the bath pot Took the way. I would like to make a large public bath if the island is a little more pioneered and wide, far from the hot springs.

"No, nobody can use magic so easily."

Certainly, Johnson said that people were hard to use magic. Anyone? It is a disappointing race in a shared apartment.

`` Well, it's a private room, and if you do not take a bath, you can wipe your body with a warm towel, you only have to go once to get water, so if it is troublesome to boil, wipe it with a wet towel here The next morning, I'll load the cargo on the merchant ship, so please be slow until that time. Meal, but I'm sorry, but I'm sorry but the ingredients are prepared so I wonder if you can make it there ? "

"Sufficient, thank you for your consideration"

"I'm sorry."

□

"Well, what do you think? Tell us your opinion."

"The whole race and demons are bright and very sanitary. And he's a man who raises and lowers the wells to draw water, but it's too convenient. I think it was like having a bath in each family. ''

"Yes, I think so too. The demons who call themselves representatives were also friendly and intelligent. The demons around were friendly, and there were churches of the tribes, and the details were considered. I was surprised to see some doctors. "

"I think so too. I think it's possible to make roads with carriages on it, well-maintained roads, and cobblestone roads all the way, and raising livestock. We saw Sahagin and Harpies, so it was like a good neighbor.We made small but efficient salt, made sugar with special materials, and had abundant honey. Did you see that there was a lot of beehives? The guy who put the salt water on the leaves where the boat was parked. It's kept to a minimum, and there's a well, but one that's quite smart. "

"The windmills were also miniaturized. I think that you could grind the powder everywhere. I also think that it is an advantage to be able to easily collapse in a storm."

"Also, a wolf who was wandering around the city, but I don't know who did it, but is it nostalgic like that? At least I heard that he was a terrible animal than a wild dog, but children without fear I was surprised to see that jerking. ''

"So, I have another job, so if you come and visit me, you're tired and sleeping, so please tell me if you have a message. Fortunately, the mountain in the center of the island And it's a little dark and it seems like there's no tavern yet, so it's dark and quiet at night. ''

""understood""

I change my clothes to black as much as I can, wear tanned leather, wear shoes that don't make noise when walking, and slowly leave the house through inconspicuous windows to see the workplace and material storage I saw during the day. To get some useful information.

If you can get a seed called coffee, if possible, you can grow it on our territory, which will be profitable. You can get it before the sun rises, or it is a game.

It's easy to move because the side of the church is the workshop for craftsmen. The moonlight is just a hindrance, but if you think about it in reverse, it's just right to check things. Fortunately, no one is out and use this to bring back information.

Stone processing yard at blacksmith's shop, carpentry tools at wood processing yard. There are various things, the making of daily necessities, plates and cups can be seen. There is probably no useful information around here.

The blacksmith has rounded iron inside and wraps it around a rod, and he has carefully arranged agricultural tools. There is nothing special about this. I looked for some special drawings, but I didn't even have a shelf for papers. I thought there was a drawing in the well where water could be released just by moving the stick, but the other party didn't seem to be sweet. Maybe there is a drawing in my head. I want to take it home as a souvenir, but I definitely want to avoid it if it is gone.

I think that this area is a carpenter's workplace because there are carpentry tools, but short trees are complicatedly processed and joined into one long wood. No nails are used. I think it's a wonderful processing technique, but it's such an island, and it would be impossible to make long wood without doing this.

From the shelf that seems to be a paper compartment, I look for drawings on the windmill, but I can not find it, so I give up and search for the next, but I was worried that the wood chips scattered at my feet would be large and rough if sawed It was determined that it was not particularly important.

I think this is a stone processing plant because the swarf is scattered here, but I was surprised to see the material piled up. The cut surface is as clean as if it were made of wood. Is it something that can be so beautifully prepared? I picked up the swarf, but it wasn't soft. I was very worried about how it was being processed, but the only tools were the ordinary worn-out stone chisels and hammers.

You could go to a multi-purpose house and look for a house, but as far as I could see, the coffee was just the thing that the man brought and I saw it when the demons opened the shelf Would be more risky as it was just flour and eggs. I don't even know how they grow. I don't even know if they grow like tomatoes or potatoes. I make a report because I will be suspicious if I come many times. Either change the staff and find it steady, or have someone pretend to be a castaway and get information. The latter is probably faster.

I wondered if there was any secrecy in the area where the stone was cut out, found the traces of the wheels, walked behind me as if to follow it, and arrived at the quarry, but could not speak.

It's a beautifully cut low cliff, I don't know how it would be so beautiful to cut out a stone, but it was too beautiful and seemed to be a single solid stone wall. If you use such a stone wall, it is just a property.

When I thought so, my neck was suddenly strangled from behind, and a slightly sharp object hit my cheek.

□

"Calm, the old man has moved."

If you were playing with Wolf, Fleur gave me a report.

“Thank you for the report.

With that said, stop rubbing Wolf and start preparing.

"I don't care, now I'm wandering around the industrial zone."

"I see ... I'm exploring a lot."

Put on black clothes and start preparing to go out. Considering your skin color, you may be naked, but you may be worried about insects.

"I'm interested in lumber now."

"Oh, that's a guy who connects trees and makes them longer. That's why it's convenient because I knew something, but I didn't know how to do it, and Oda-san came and helped me. I was happy to say that I would study, and I'll go. ''

"Be careful-I'll call you in a whisper if you have anything."

"Roger that--"

With that said, I begin to act quietly.

Looking at the industrial zone from a distance, you can see shelves of paper shelves. At least do it a little better, you'll be foolish looking at something. This is helpful though.

I want you to return to my feeling that I thought it was a very trained, special unit-like movement. Don't look like a stone factory this time. I rub it with my hand holding some stone. I don't think there is any help for that beautiful side.

Oh, I'm thinking. Let's get closer.

"Coffee is ... how it grows. Information disguised as a drifter."

Yes ... out. I'm talking about what I'm thinking and I can't help. Let's persuade (threate). Don't move, don't head towards the quarry, let's swim a little more and get away from the village

Alban seems to be surprised to see a beautifully mined quarry, and now he has no choice.

I created an [obsidian knife] in my right hand, squeezed Alban's neck with my left arm, sealed the movement, and threatened to hit the knife on my cheek.

"Tonight. Did you enjoy the evening walk? The moonlight hits the rocks and is a wonderful moonlight bath."

"Well, it's a great place, unless you have a knife."

"I was whispering out of my thoughts. It's no use, I have to do a little better."

"I'll do it well if I have the next."

"It's amazing that you think there's a next, why?"

"If we don't return, there will be an excuse to attack this island."

"That's so scary, so I'm conditionally trying to miss (...) just this time."

I pierce the knife further, and in the second half, lower my voice and threaten.

"I'm interested, can you tell me?"

Blood drip on the left arm, soaked in clothes and stuck, and the sultry and unpleasant night became even more unpleasant.

"I sell coffee normally, but I want to get one large coin per bag as an annoyance from my employer or your private property."

"It's a great proposal, isn't it much higher than coffee?"

"I see. I think it's cheaper for the price of life, but I'm sorry for the wisdom of a fucking bastard who is trying to rip off a rare and popular gold tree. May I have you? "

I spread the wound while sliding the stabbed knife sideways.

"Is this island at risk?"

"Actually, there is a horrible epidemic on this island, and three people who have become sick on a boat may die and be thrown into the sea, right?"

"I'm scared, is this a strange disease that can cut all over my body?"

"I'm getting tired of sloppy talks, what should I do?"

"I'm very happy to let you go."

"I have two () large silver coins per bag?"

"It's impossible consultation"

"Yes, I'm very sorry."

I used body strengthening, put pressure on my arms, pressed the arteries, stunned Alban, picked up a fist-sized stone from the side of my mouth, squeezed my front teeth while shaving my front teeth, took off my jacket, covered my face, The sleeves were tightly tied.

Carry in the depths of the forest as it is, and when you reach the place where the sighting information of the bear came, cut the tendons of both hands and feet, immobilize, close only the wound with recovery magic, kick your head away, awaken your consciousness, start to make noise I confirmed that

"I think the next morning you'll find a murderous corpse scattered by a bear, so I'll give the remaining two a piece of bloody clothes. The two haven't seen any suspicious movements yet I'll take you home, if the other two move, I'll bring you here. "

And I left Alban crawling like a caterpillar and went home.

"Oh, welcome back. I thought that I hate killing, but it was surprisingly easy."

"... Well, I hate it, but it can't be helped. I don't think this would have happened if negotiations were good, but what do you think?"

"Ah? Which is it?"

"That's right ... Tell me if the rest of the two move or if he's attacked by a bear, it's okay in the middle of the night.

"Yes, if I don't want to hate myself, I shouldn't do it."

"I can't think of everyone in the village. I'll run out of money on the island and I'll sell coffee anyway."

In the middle of the night, Fleur reported that Alban was being attacked by a bear.

◇

"Good morning, are you tired of traveling?"

I behave as if nothing happened and start a conversation normally.

"Oh, that one"

Anita looks at Tony with a little dismay.

"Alban was gone when he got up in the morning."

"Mr. Alban? I had a few well greetings before coming here, but wasn't there?"

"Well, where did you really go?"

While saying so, Tony starts to oro.

"Wait a minute, because some guys are good at finding things."

And I came back with Wolf.

"I think you can count on the good nose, lend me Alban's clothes."

"Oh, yes!"

Then, Tony brought in his clothes and custody it, and Wolf smelled it.

"Wolf, I want you to look for this smell."

"Waffen!"

He whispered so small and walked toward the industrial zone while sniffing the ground, sniffing various places, and heading directly into the forest without going to the quarry. It's not a wolf who can read the air ... but a wolf.

Then, deep into the forest, he found devastated pieces of meat, bones, and pieces of cloth.

"Wow!"

Mr. Tony who is following me holds his mouth and turns his eyes.

"Bears, this is where the sightings were, and I don't know why they were attacked here. Did you hit where you escaped?"

The head of the hunting team begins to string a muttering bow and begins to be vigilant. Having said that it is no longer the case, he calls several men and accompanies them.

"Please call someone Keith, and if you do not hunt immediately, you will suffer damage again."

"understood!"

Someone went to call Keith.

"Tony, I think there is resistance to seeing, is there anything you recognize?"

"Eh, um .. Oh, this ring is familiar, it's the ring Alban was doing."

From the wrist that seems to have left behind, point to the ring that was on the finger.

"I see ... the smell of the clothes is the same, and are you sure that this body is called Alban-san?"

"……Yes"

"What about the body? Why don't you take some and bring them back to your homeland?"

"... Yeah ... I'll do that."

"Someone, please call Adrea-san."

"Yes"

Then, Keith came and looked at the corpse, slightly distorted his expression and went into the depths of the forest. I passed.

"I'm sorry, but there are hundred bags, so can I have coffee beans, sugar and honey on board?"

"Well, yes. Unfortunately, we have already decided. I'm sorry, Tony and Anita should return with Alban's luggage together and get ready, because we will load the cargo on the ship."

"understood"

We told them two, and with the help of the aquatic demons, we loaded the baggage on the barge, made several round trips, and talked to Mr. Nils in a whisper as he finished loading all the beans.

"Mr. Calm, are you?"

"What is it?"

"I killed Alban"

"Oh, not me. It's a bear."

"I thought you wouldn't be able to easily find the secrets of coffee or the products you sell at the store-"

"Mr. Nils ... This is an accident. This is unfortunate .... It was an accident that happened due to sniffing on the island in the middle of the night and the shit of a shit fell on. No, if I keep this story, I'll be thinking a bit about how to deal with Mr. Nils, but what should I do? I would like to eliminate the trouble of finding a new merchant if possible, Mr. Nils I want to continue to get along well in the future. ''

I interrupted Nils on the way and warned me so cold and calm that I wouldn't threaten you in an atmosphere I've never seen before.

"Yes, this was an unfortunate accident that was hit by a bear while walking in the middle of the night, sorry."

Nils's expression was a little stiff, but the language was as usual.

"No, everyone has a misunderstanding. Well, I don't know who their employer is and I'm not interested yet. I think it's going to be stupid for a while, but someone can take me to this island If you do, don't worry, bring it in. It's pretty safe unless you act stupidly. "

I returned to the atmosphere and spoke normally, and Nils exhaled in a small, reassuring manner.

"Yes, thanks to you, pirates are no longer in the area, so it is relatively safe until the third day by boat. The sailor here is excellent."

"Well, I get along with Sahagin and Mermaids in my neighborhood, and cooperate with strong sailors to ensure the safety of the coastal waters. Yeah. "

"If you get along with the demons, there are lots of good things."

"Yes, if you ask Harpy to accompany you and monitor it from the sky, I think that you will be fine without having to stand on the guard in the daytime. "

"Well, I don't think there are few people who can accept it."

"The barriers to discrimination are still high. Port towns with trade are relatively close, but according to the story, churches are troublesome."

"Yes, that education narrows my horizons. When I was a kid, I thought the demons were scary."

"Oh, I don't want to go anywhere other than that port town."

"Well, it's still impossible."

While we were having such a good conversation, we were watching loading the luggage.

□

"... what do you think?"

"I think it's a bear, but I've heard that it doesn't train like a bear does."

"What is that representative?"

"I didn't show any particularly suspicious behavior, I was cooperative from beginning to end, it's unlikely."

"That's true. The atmosphere was like a good demons, so then who did it ..."

"Keith, the demon with a bow, looked at Alban's corpse and looked very disgusted, so I think that's unlikely. It doesn't seem to enter the island very much, and it doesn't seem to be a demonic activity. Is it really a bear? "

"Is there any noticeable trauma?"

"I couldn't see any scratches other than my nails."

"... I have to report everything, so let's summarize everything I have in a report."

"I agree"

"The story changes, this soap has a very good smell, but where did you sell it? I've never seen it in a port town."

"Did you bring it?"

"Well, it was a brand new soap that just came out of the mold, so I thought it was for customers, I would like to have it after reporting if possible."

Anita was a pretty plain woman.
