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

Episode 112: When I went shopping with Mr. Van

After that, we talked about some things with Van, talked about a simple blueprint with Jukob and Goburg, and decided to fly corundum in the evening after the policy was decided. It is for stocking steel.

This time, he had contacted Fleur at the coffee shop in advance and told him to go to the master. So this is not a sudden visit.

"Good evening, big customers"

"Hey Calm, what are you talking about?"

"Well, a little .... The dwarves on the back will come to the island, so some steel is needed."

"Is it a big deal?"

"Because I use copper to make something like a huge pot that only uses one corner of this warehouse, and because the island's stockpile of iron is scarce, so too. Mr. Van. ? "

"Hmm, it's appropriate, because I was hitting it, stretching it out, putting it in a mold, and assembling it. I didn't care about the management in any way. Just use the copper on that side! "

"That's why I need a certain amount, I'll go deeper."

"What is it? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Yes, I was going to give a little reward, and I was running around in various ways."

Mr. Nils told me that he had visited the mine and negotiated with the nobleman who managed the mine, and that it was now possible to buy cheap steel from the operating company.

"I told you that there wasn't any iron left, say that the bottom of the stream wasn't brownish."

"I feel like I was saying it."

"So I thought it would be a little necessary, so I used chocolate during the negotiations. Well, I think that there is a lot of demand if you drop sake in the city where the mine is located, It's so crowded, and it's possible to get into price negotiations from there. "

Mr. Nils is grinning, is it because the sake cost is cheaper, so is the steel material a little cheaper? Well, should n’t that area be stuck?

From there, it was a concrete discussion, and how much did you use it in this box? We decided a certain amount while hitting the packing box by hand, and purchased a little more copper material, and separately purchased iron material.

Mr. Van saw the ingot in the sample, but he muttered like this, so it would be a passing point. From a dwarf's point of view, what about human steel?

He then went into bargaining, but Van went out saying, "I'm drinking at the tavern in the corner of the coffee shop." I'm a little enthusiastic and I feel good.

To be honest, this price is not enough for the island's funds, and debt is not good. So I'll use the last resort that I don't know how many times.

"It's a price, but it seems that the island's common property is not enough. I will pay from my private property. I think it would be nice to return me little by little from the sale of sake. Nils about that Please also write a stroke to be a witness. ''

That's why I decided to get a lot of steel using the gold I got in the capital during this time.

"Then we will pay half for the advance and half for the rest once we arrive on the island. If you don't have enough money, we will give you a rough estimate so you don't know the original price."

"No, I trust that."

“Thank you.

"Okay, it's good to send this amount of steel, I think it will take a little time because it is a little too much, is that OK?"

"First of all, we need to build a building to accommodate that distiller, so we can talk about it even if we are a bit late."

"Okay, so if you have something you can sell and put it in, I'll buy it here. Is the purchase amount as per the previous documents?"

"Yes, I think it's okay to lower it a little because of the increase in manpower and efficiency, but for the time being, please wait and see if you can not help it, we will report a price increase in advance."

"Okay, should I talk to the coffee shop master if I ask?"

"Thank you."

After such an exchange, the business negotiations were over, and we decided to pick up Van and return to the island.

The next day, the construction of the distillery began, and a barrel was made in parallel with the storage. Since the temperature was high, we proposed to dig underground and store it there, but we decided to scrap it because of the labor required to carry it and the current technology.

It's going to be hard to get it out.

I can't help thinking about that, so when the framework is completed with Van as director, Nils's ship arrives on the island, carries in the supplies, and talks a bit.

"Is the large building over there a studio that makes spirits?"

"Well, liquids are heavy, so I decided to go close to the port. Oil is not available here, so it is another place."

Spread your hands out and say with a look like that.

"Because the transportation technology is still a ship or a ox cart, I'm thinking about a horse soon."

"Look for it?"

"Because it's a timid creature, I'm really at a loss as to whether to carry it by boat or use transfer magic. In the case of transfer, the foal feels safer, but I'm not sure if it's better to keep away from my parents. Is it a trained warhorse? I want to increase from there, because it is troublesome to transport animals by saying something. "

"Is it a war horse ..."

"The demons and races have signed a truce. Isn't the warhorse or claw abandoned in anticipation of some scale reduction?"

"No, no matter how much you can't, you're just a merchant?"

"I thought I could say that because I'm a skater. Is it impossible ... do you rely on the hero of the royal city?"

"Mr. Calm, I hear a lot of your rumors, but I don't know why I have contact with the hero."

"Well, if you say hello to a hundred people at the port, you can get a shot at once.

"Moreover, the skin color is too characteristic, so various rumors will come in. It's true that it's true that I was at a meeting at the time of the ceasefire treaty. I saw it in the castle of the royal capital."

"Ah, are you? The cease-fire treaty is attending as a demon on the demons as an acquaintance of the brave. In the castle of the royal capital, we are attending together as a demon by acquaintance with the brave."

To be honest, I won't hide anything.

"... Huh. It's good. I'm going to say that it's a firm that favors some great demons."

I say that and hold my head down.

"Thank you for your kindness. There is an accommodation for the customer anyway. What about it? If you feel bad, I think it will be fine for about one night."

"I'm grateful, but I will go to the demons continent after a long absence, so today I will just carry in and say hello."

"I see, I can't help. I'm thinking I'll have to go to a port city on the continent of the demons later ..."

"Is it going?"

"No, no, I'm busy making distillers right now, so I'll consult with the captain during the off-farm season."

"Being busy with each other"

"is not it"

I say goodbye to each other and I will return to work.

By the beginning of the summer heat, the carpenter, who had been trained by Beryl, returned to the island, increasing the efficiency of building the outer walls of the facility. Besides, take the wife of the demonic big belly who was listening to the story.

At that time, we celebrate grandly on the island, and the food situation is likely to be stable at the next harvest. I got a little old wheat.

At that time, a distillation facility was completed.

"Okay, it took me a bit of work, but it's okay, let's do it with beer! Calm, are you burning charcoal on this island too?

"Well, there's a lot of stock in the wood, and I'm using charcoal, like the excavated tree roots.

Then, for the sake god of dwarf religion, first sprinkle a large amount of sake on the still and say something like a congratulatory ceremony before starting work. He made two barrels of sake and transported the freshly distilled sake to a village south of the island.

"It's been a long time, I've added one special product of this island, it's a pretty strong sake, so I brought a barrel for now, so please enjoy it. Everyone is really strong, so juice made with fruits Perhaps it's better to divide it, because kids can't drink, so they brought chocolate. "

That said, we will try to minimize contact with villagers who are not yet familiar, but we will make more souvenirs. He explained what he produced and shipped when he came to this island. The children were pleased.

Let's pray that if you make a big contribution during the rice harvest season, you will be able to appreciate it.

When I returned to the place with the cove thinking, I was already preparing for the sake brew and my job was to arrange the dishes.

And a little before the evening, the brewing starts.

"Hey Calm. I bought copper with your gold. You take the lead."

"Uh? Puah yes. Uh. I bought the copper for this distiller from my private property. I only lent it to the island because I didn't have enough funds to run the island. I sold this liquor. I will ask you to return the money little by little, so please make sure that you do not make a mistake.The hard story is here! You etc. Today is a strong liquor that has never been drunk! Like a New Year's Festival I don't think you can drink until morning!

""""cheers!!!""""

Such a signal and the brewing of sake mainly begin.

If you've never drunk strong sake, you squeeze the fruits and dilute them with water, or dilute them with coconut water.

Just like drinking alcohol with a sports drink, the rate of absorption has improved, and I feel more sick, but keep it secret.

After a while, when the sunset completely fell and it was getting dark, I saw a woman I had never seen at the table near the edge.

It's a small island, and I'm a little worried because such a woman has never seen it. I decided to talk.

"How are you, right?"

"Well, I was invited by the strong scent of sake. Is that annoying?"

She is a very soft woman who looks good with a gentle smile. The long hairs around the waist are turned into a sign, and they are inconspicuous, but you can see small corners on the back of the head that look like they are growing on the head of the principal. Moreover, she wears clothes like a cheongsam.

However, even without it, the possibility of a dragon is high.

Perhaps it's the crater dragon that Firsil was talking about, as she said she saw it.

Moreover, when I was a child, I heard a similar message from the principal.

"Is this the next Demon King to be assigned to this island?"

I'm suddenly convinced.

"Well, I'm doing the Demon King."

"You don't have to be hard. I knew what you were doing for a long time."

Did you see it? Is there something related like Fleur-Parma? You can't help but stop.

"I see, but I'm a little concerned about evaluation ..."

"It's the best when you make such sake!"

With that, I feel like a gentle sister in the neighborhood with a warm atmosphere.

"Is that the only standard ..."

"What else is there?"

"No, I don't think it's enough for me to be a dragon tribe. Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet, thank you myself, Calm."

"Cratel!"

I introduced myself while drinking distilled spirits, which was just distilled while being real.

"You don't have to worry about me, so Calm-chan couldn't enjoy it. Yes, if you accidentally leave alcohol near the crater, she'll be with Calm-chan."

"... Okay, is it okay to just have one in the middle barrel for a while?-After drinking, you can roll it around and we'll pick it up."

"Can you get that much? I'll do my best!"

He raised the cup he said and was in a good mood. Something cute. However, sometimes it is said that they live in the crater, it would be appreciated if the dragon could come with a friend. You only need to give out alcohol regularly in the name of a seafood bill or a bouncer bill, so you can think that the island's defenses have become even thicker.

I haven't been attacked by pirates twice yet.

But it looks like the principal is the oldest in the village, right? How much is this Kratel?

"Calm-chan has a slightly bad smile."

"Oh, sorry. A little thought came out on my face."

"Isn't it a way to use me as well?"

However, he is drinking spirits with Nico Nico.

"Well, maybe an idiot might get on this island, so maybe you might get out as a bouncer."

"Oh, you say things clearly, but don't overtrust my strength?"

"What are you talking about living in the crater, maybe not in the lava, right?"

"I'm often in the lava as a dragon, and in this case I'm often in a side hole in the crater, so come and play."

"I can't go to such a hot place. But I would expect if it's great enough to put it in lava."

"Wait, don't expect it, it's best not to have anything."

"Yes, that's the best."

During such a conversation, Van came in,

"Calm who made this liquor is great!"

"And Van-chan, who made the distiller to make this liquor, is also great!"

He was entangled in a strong alcohol race until dawn, and became a stomach drinking alcohol until his stomach sounded.

To be honest, please don't worry that there will be more than this.

It may be good to call the principal and have a little talk.
