I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island
Episode 98: Festival in the Royal Capital Part 1
I am now carried in a carriage with dead eyes and both hands and feet restrained by thick wooden shackles with iron balls. Of course, they are unlocked and ready to be removed.
The reason is simple: the heroes are being carried in custody to get into the royal capital, as they are set to launch a coup.
The dead eyes are acting, they just look far away with out of focus eyes out of focus. He left Corundum for the first time and visited several villages and towns, but was in a terrible state.
In short, it's worse than a slum, and a small slum in Ezirin is still better. The house can survive the rain but the draft seems to be severe, and the crops and livestock in the fields are thin. People have no ambition. Rather animated, the children looked relatively normal, but the eyes of adults are dead. If you compare it, you will feel like you are living to breathe.
"That's terrible. It's almost like a big town or a village away from the royal capital. It's hard to survive with heavy taxes, fatten my stomach, and have no food to eat. It's superfluous because it's also taken away. Would it be a salvation to have at least a parent who thinks only children? "
The black-haired man in front of his forties, who had a slightly hard impression in front of him, told me like himself.
"The demonic village is still better, even the cold village where I was born had no trouble eating, there was a school, and even though it was a little poor, everyone was alive. Less than one-fifth ... if you were bad, you could only get less than one-fifth, and invested your own fortune for everyone, built a fine castle near the forefront, and contributed to maintaining the forefront Some of the great guys were there, and knowing that seems like a great guy on the tribal side. "
"It's rubbish on top of the great man, so the wrinkles are the lowest villagers. In addition, the teaching of the church has been educated so that it does not cause unnecessary thoughts. So we rarely see demons on the tribal continent, perhaps at least as war slaves brought in for degassing. "
"I definitely want to succeed"
"I agree"
◇
The story goes back a little.
The harvest festival in Beryl village is over, the brides are detained for a few days, and when they finally return to the island, it is the island's harvest festival.
Since there are few people and fields, I took the method of cutting with a [wind cutter] and collecting them all, but it ended in a day.
Then he sent the wheat to the warehouse, served the sake requested by Mr. Nils, talked to the Corundum master and his wife and the sailors who had taken a long holiday, and also talked to the Harpy and aquatic demons, at least the number of people Only secured and magnified.
Since the pigs were raising children and raised, Enomoto asked if one should be crushed, so the men were happily dismantled, behaved with deer and bears, and the demons near the island could eat meat. With joy, it was really grand.
As the mermaids began to sing with a clean voice with drunken momentum, the Harpies and Sahagins began to dance, and the humans mixed with it, which was more exciting than I had imagined.
Demons and people of the tribes are having fun with the wolves, and the walls of the tribes are getting lower. It has become a really good island.
◇
After a while, when I was thinking about starting little by little in preparation for the New Year's Festival, I had to deliver coffee beans to a corundum shop in the evening.
"Mr. Calm, if I come to the store as usual this morning, a letter like this"
The letter was thrown into the store through the gap between the doors of the doorway and it was written in a common language "to Calm", and the master handed it to me.
When I looked inside, the text was written in Japanese and it was written that I was in an inn near the gate.
"Mr. Calm, what do you say?"
The master looked into mysterious face and looked into me. Don't look into my letter ...
"It's a meeting letter, we're going a little."
He hurried to the inn and saw a black-haired (() man looking at the entrance at the table at the back of the shop.
The black-haired man stands up,
"I'm Kaneda. It's Calm, I'm hearing from Aida."
The man in the formidable atmosphere in front of Yosoji claimed to be Kaneda, and went ahead and asked to sit down.
"The festival is ready, and I think we can hold it anytime we arrive."
It's not a coup d'etat or a festival or a rebellion.
"Huh. It's a promise, I'll be with you, but I'll be ready here, and I need to tell my family that I'm going to attend the festival.
I told with a sigh.
"I'll go to the coffee shop three days later, when the coffee shop opens."
"It is suddenly burnt."
"If you don't return early, the food will rot and be dangerous."
It's turbid, but what about food? Is it okay? I promise not to participate.
"understood"
"Please come in perfect condition, we are waiting for you"
I don't know if this time has finally come.
I went back home, thinking about how to tell the lily of the valley and entered the house.
"Oh, welcome back"
"I'm home"
"I was returning early this time, what happened?"
"Well, we'll talk after all, kids?"
"Take a bath with lily of the valley-if Calm comes in too!"
She said she was grinning, but she refused because she had many things to do.
"Because I pack a little"
With that said, I don't know what's there, so I'm not on the island from the closet, take out the upper and lower white clothes I used at the forefront base, have spare shoes, and go to the back of the warehouse, a porch to attach to the modified backpack I took out all the sorts and started checking the contents.
By that time the lily of the valley and the children got out of the bath and I decided to start talking.
"First, right now, then I have to tell everyone."
She has a serious expression and a slightly lower voice than usual, so she looks at her seriously.
"Dad, for a certain reason, has become friendly with the hero, and the hero lives on the island mixed with a few people. Let's put it down first. The team members assault and attack the royal capital of the tribe to raise rebellion. Gather to occupy the royal capital and take revenge on those who summoned the heroes, saying they would like to help. "
"Hey! @Why Calm, is there anyone else?"
"I'm the guy who said, 'I'm a certain circumstance,' I can't say this to everyone, and of course I haven't told Mumba, my dad or my mother, that's why I'm cooperating."
"Why! So why Calm!"
"Because there are gentlemen to both the demons and the demon kings, and the territory is an island where demons and races live without fighting. Of course there are certain circumstances there. I want you to understand. "
"Calm. I think you're fine because you're fine.
Lily of the valley skips sharp murder like a razor. But I don't want to pull.
The children are scared and are about to cry.
"... if you talk honestly, are you convinced? Can you let me go if you are satisfied?"
As gentle as possible, the angry atmosphere asks gently without giving out any dust.
"The explanation just wasn't enough. Why don't you help the hero ... I don't know. I'm prepared to clarify and wave my hand with a smile."
In addition, the killing becomes stronger and there is a sense of intimidation that pierces the skin.
"Latte, take the bad, but deadly, stuck children to another room. I'm determined too. I don't want to give violence to lily of the valley if possible."
"Okay, can I listen too?"
"Oh, you have the right to listen. Take the kids to the room and come back."
Say, Latte took the crying children to the room and came back.
"Well ... I don't believe it, I don't believe it, but don't tell anyone. If I break my promise, I'll leave this village and the four people and the island, in a small village that nobody knows I'm prepared to fake myself and live as another person, or kill them and I die. Can't you go back? "
Observe the confirmation as if staring at them. Lily of the valley immediately shakes his head, but Latte doesn't try to reply.
"Latte, if you don't want to listen, go to the children. I'm serious from here on. I don't think I usually do, and I'm so prepared now."
"... Okay, I'm determined.
I exhaled briefly, calmed down a little, and opened my mouth.
"In one case, I'm a dead man who grew up in the same country as the braves."
They look surprised, but are waiting for my next word.
"I died in that country, I don't know why, but I remember this village as it is. I was born as a child of my father and mother, and I moved to use this memory to enrich this village as much as possible. And then he became a Demon King, and the hero who was given the island as a territory and came to subdue me was just like the guy in my country. I was talking about it, and that's it. I was the guy from the country where I lived before I was born, and there were so many things I said, "Let me help you to prove that demons and demon kings have good guys. It's like that. ''
"... What is the country of the brave people?"
"Bad, but I can't, but there's something to prove."
Saying so, he shakes his head and shows the letter plunged into his pocket.
"Is my name written in a common language, but the content is the language of my country?"
With that said, the letters are spread out and shown, which is completely different from the common language of the world written in Hiragana and Kanji. They are trying to find out what the letter is about, but probably not.
"I can't tell you in detail, but I'm at an inn near the gate, I read it, went to the inn, talked to the hero, and came back three days in the morning to pick me up. I'm coming and preparing. ''
"... I've been convinced that Calm is a little weird so far. I grew up in that country so my thinking is different from us.
"Yes, I admit it."
"So I've always been told that I'm not like a child. I was convinced that my dad said" I'm stronger than me. "
"Well, why did you hate doing horny things with me?"
"Yes, in that country there was only one bride and one husband, so there was resistance to being linked to Latte."
"Muh ..."
"What's good at magic. Is there magic in that country?"
"No, not at all, but it was full of useful tools, so I just copied it."
He was then criticized enough to convince them that they couldn't answer clearly what they couldn't answer.
After that, I called the children and apologized to them, assassinated them and put the bed together and slept with five people. It was a day when family ties deepened, except that I was in the middle and the bed was the worst at the seams of the bed.
◇
The whole family spent the rest of the day until the afternoon of the next day. After returning to the island, he spoke to the islanders and told him that he would go out for quite some time.
If so, is Oda's coffee stock OK? Is it enough to carry it yesterday? ", But she said that she would be fine for more than three months because of the decrease so far. Please worry about me more than coffee.
He stuffed the modified backpack on the island with all his luggage, polished his scoop, knife and machete, and prepared everything.
I thought it was polite to go all the way, even without participating in battle.
Then, on the morning of the appointment, Mr. Kaneda came to the store and I was headed to the royal capital of the race.
When you go outside the gate, you can feel relieved that the carriage is already prepared and the guest is Japanese and greets Mr. Kaneda in Japanese. He put his luggage on the carriage, sat down for a while, and received a letter from Mr. Kaneda.
"From Aida-san"
When he opened the letter, he said that the two people who sent it to Corundum were trustworthy people, so they were asking them to feel relieved. I wanted you to give it a little earlier.
When I thought so, thick and hard wooden wooden shackles and fetters and iron balls were prepared at my feet, and looking at Mr. Kaneda's face, I saw a terrible smile.
"From now on, Mr. Calm will be carried as a slave. Please sit down in a desperate and desperate feeling as much as possible. Shake your head like you do not understand the common language even if you talk to you. I'll carry them in these barrels, so let's keep the scoop of weapons leaning around them. ''
What are you talking about?
"Is it a good idea to get closer to the royal capital?"
"Yes"
Immediately answered with a smile. Something like a salesman.
"I'm sorry to avoid any extra fights, sorry but please be patient for about 10 days."
Ten days to the royal capital, it's the worst. It is humorous to put on my own fetters and shackles while thinking so.
And I was lethargic, with eyes like dead fish.
"It's amazing, it's so perfect that you can feel desperate in everything."
That's extra care, I'm struggling a lot with my childhood, mainly related to lily of the valley.
◇
Three days after Corundum, a slightly larger town came into view, and I became lethargic, stopped the carriage outside the town, and went to buy it because I needed to resupply food.
During that time, Mr. Kaneda was sitting in front of me, monitoring me.
Then the gatekeeper walked here.
"Hey, you're a demons, let's beat a little bit of melancholy."
"Like, it's better to get blood first"
Or something terrible, but as I said, I'm just sitting with dead eyes, like burning out white.
"Would you please stop me? This is a slave that I deliver to my Lord. It's decided that my Lord will hurt you. If you are dissatisfied, I'll be my partner, what do you do? "
I killed myself in a totally different way than when I was talking to me, glared at the gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper returned to the gate with curse.
Mr. Kaneda apologized when you came back and the carriage started running.
"I'm sorry, people look almost like demons, so I'll escort myself."
"Please, because your shackles and fetters may come off."
"That would be really troublesome, so please bear with me, please"
Mr. Kaneda bowed deeply when saying that.
"Yes, I'll show you the endurance, but it came to my mind yesterday that a child threw a stone in the village."
"I'm sorry"
I'm really sorry to apologize, so I'll be careful.
"Kaneda-san isn't bad, so the bad thing is church education."
With that said, they both headed to the royal capital with a feeling they could not do.
