I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island
Episode 144: Something About to Be Made
The next day after returning from Crabatte's mansion, he returned to the island and for some reason was a waitress.
Did you walk from the north side of the island?
"Because you don't come here at all, I came to the first village while Kakao delivered him by boat ..."
"Eh, eh"
Can it be used for something like a water bus? What's more, they're nervous and crisp. What did you do?
"It's important to be strong, but it's better to be your family ..."
"That's right. So what happened?"
"Bad, but I've found a guy you like better than you.
"No, it doesn't matter ..."
"I came here and saw Orcus and fell in love. I thought it was important to be cool."
What are you talking about? Orcus? Who?
"Oh, Calm. It's almost time for the stockpile of stone to run out, so I'll ask you and a craftsman of the tribe said."
"Oh, Orcus!"
Saying so, I'm hugging an old man with cat ears. Was Orkus the name of a cat ear man?
"Hey, don't stick, it's hard to walk! First of all, you came here looking for Calm! Why come to me!"
"I think your family is better, and my preference is a bit older!"
"I just wish I could stick to Calm! I'll return to work!"
"wait!"
The cat and the waitress went to the field.
Anyway, the worst pattern of having one more bride was avoided, thank you, uncle! And the change of heart was quick and saved!
Well, what do I do? I asked Clavatte for human resources, so I wonder if I should make a list for easy inventory management. An island shipping list and a well-stocked list.
After a long time, I started office work at a table in my room on the island.
Is it better to write the annual shipment volume? Um, it must have been past documents. Was this box the documents we shipped last year?
This is really hard, unless you do it diligently. I should have done it once every thirty days. Is it like coming here and getting around? damn it.
As I was working at my desk, Wolf came up with a calf and squeaky forefoot as if he were "OK!"
Occasionally I rest my hand and stroke my head, but when I try to hold my quill, I just come back saying "I'm more ready!"
Hey, what a work.
"I'm sorry, Wolfhe. I can't play a bit today, so I want you to look around the island."
"Koon"
"Hey, don't you hate it?
I am completely ready for a break. Why do you only come up with dogs and cats when you are working?
"Hola"
While saying so, he was doing the flank of Wolf lying down with Goron as a washer, giving the dried meat on the shelf in pieces, hugging, pressing his face, exhaling from his mouth, He asked for healing by warming his department.
Oh, healed. Originally, I used to hit a keyboard, so I had to keep my handwriting really small, and I missed doing calculations and all at once. Should I do flash mental arithmetic? I don't seem to be able to do that.
"Oh, don't stop today. I don't care."
I vomit and complain and go outside even after less than an hour of document maintenance. It was a stockpile of stone. Let's go to cut out the stone!
"Apparently, because the story to say hello. Likely to cut stockpiles of stone is, that it has come to cut out. Heavy, let's proceed with the attention to the Toka Toka hip foot."
I tell the craftsmen who are processing it as cobblestones and building materials on the road that he will cut the stone, and start working.
I cut out about 60 days of stockpile, and I helped to transport it, but I looked around and was worried about the depletion of stone. Just cutting out the exposed part of the ground and cutting stone at the current pace is likely to be depleted within a few years. Import costs are likely to be high.
"Mr. Calm, what are you staring at while watching the quarry?"
"Hmm? I guess it wouldn't flatten out after a few years, if it weren't, it would be expensive to buy it from a demons or race continent.
"Yes, that's right. Compared to the beginning, it did not reach half, but it was considerably reduced. Because the stones under these feet were all cut off."
"That's right, but it's still ahead. You can raise it by magic, but if the bottom becomes hollow and the water accumulates or collapses, it is dangerous, so I feel like I have to dig down Yeah. "
"At that time, why don't you think about it?"
"That's right .... Considering that it can only be taken from here on the island, there is time to carry it to the second village and the third village, and there is a little more exploring the island or quarrying about four places on the island. You can also make it. "
"It's going to be something big"
"If it's a quarry with the minimum requirements, I think it's enough here, but it's a hassle to carry it. If it's a quarry, make four small quarries near the main village, carve a side hole, and make it a storage. I'm thinking of adding more villages on the other side of the island. ''
"Yes, stones are hard to carry."
"Yes, but Oda will lend you wisdom."
There must have been a simple, rope-based elevator, but were they steamy, hydraulic or electrical? It may be possible to put something like a counterweight and raise it with the primitive leverage principle.
Well, it's a long way to go, but I think there is no problem to put this as an issue.
"But, by the way, I didn't think I would consume such stones anyway.
"There are many uses, such as the foundation of a house, but now there are many cobblestones on the road."
"Hmmmm. If you say stone-making, it's about a church? I guess maybe something a little more dignified would be better."
"What are you saying? More than that, it's Calm's home!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, such a voice came out. What are you talking about?
"Because you're a great man, you can't tell unless you live in a castle, right?"
“No, no, I ’m just normal. If it ’s big, it ’s harder to clean and more than double the money you need. In that case, it ’s better to use it for a shared facility!”
"Even though it's a demon king, I don't have such a desire."
"Don't you misunderstand the Demon King? Well, some of you might be building a huge castle in vain because it's a symbol of power, but I'm fine with a small house. I can't catch up and I have to pay for maids and hires. ''
"No, you don't have to do that"
"I don't need that much, anyway, because if my child is alone, I'll call my wives and relax."
He sits down on the stones he has carried and pauses, but the people around him are laughing. Did you say something strange?
"They certainly had two people. How long are the kids alone?"
"Well, it's the next spring, and he said he would be an adventurer."
"The demons are precocious."
"It's true, when you notice it, it's like you're away from your parents, and it's almost like a busy time has just passed."
"How many Calms were you?"
"Hmm? I was 16 years old this fall?"
"You're young, you're fifteen and old enough to grow up?"
"It sounds like she was a child who was with her slaves when she came to the island, but she's been living on the island for about two years now.
"Uncle isn't that year yet."
"Isn't it a good year for demons anymore? I don't know how long it is, but it's definitely shorter than an elf?"
"Well, elves are famous for their longevity among humans."
"So, it's okay to be an old man. I don't know where he's from. He looks young."
We laughed at each other, and the quota was already over, so we all greeted the work and returned home.
◇
The next day, if I thought it was noisy early in the morning, the men were making noise while doing something like a foundation work to build a big building.
"Ah, good morning! What about Calm?"
"What about ??"
`` No, I've always lived in a small house and don't say I'd like to live in a bigger house. "
"No, I haven't heard it ... I said yesterday that I didn't need it."
"Well, can't you tell anyone around you, don't you?"
What are you saying? These guys……. I can't talk at all.
"No, I don't really want to. I'm really sorry. Then it's still more constructive to use this stone to build a government office or trading post office near the bay. If I say I want to live in such a big house, I'll pay myself, make a decent request to you and build it, and it's time for the kids to stand alone and call their bride here So I was thinking about asking at that time? "
"But this is our feeling ..."
"I understand. I'm really happy. I can see that he's adapted to my height. However, please ask me if I can't help planning this time. Yesterday, a bit of that kind of topic came out, but I didn't think I was really serious! "
"Oh no ..."
Unusual, if you shout, everyone is surprised.
"What's up, shout out?"
An old man with dog ears rushed to see if something was wrong.
"No, I'm telling you to build my house in stone on a large block here.
"Well, are you planning secretly, starting with a large number of people, and getting into a situation where you can't finish later? Indeed, if you have a good calm, you may not be able to refuse."
"Certainly I can't say that I should stop now, but it's still more constructive to build a government office or trading post near the bay. Your morale may go down, but withdraw If it's not my house, just keep working, isn't it? "
I decided to go back to my job with care.
"Ah, I'm not angry at all, but aren't you able to lift up there?"
To keep things a little cooler, I decided to keep the documents that I wrote yesterday while adding herbal tea.
I guessed about 30 minutes, and while writing, the door was suddenly knocked.
"Please open it."
"Excuse me"
Earlier, when I built my house, I was the man who was in charge. For now, can you brew tea?
"I'm sorry to say earlier. I stopped working and came to the appointment for the time being.
"Yes. I'm not particularly angry, but please talk about me in the future."
"Yes, sorry"
"I understand you somehow, but I'm just a Demon King. The Demon King was just given a territory by a certain person. It was said that I was strong because I was chosen. It's really just that, and after it's given territory, it's an ambiguous thing that depends on the Demon King. It is up to the aristocrat who owns the territory to subdue or cooperate, though I've never seen a noble who owns this deserted island. "
Drink only a sip of cold herbal tea and continue.
"So, I'm giving instructions in the territory, but it's not really great. If you think about me, it would be more helpful to build public facilities for the general public. Well, I was so glad I felt so happy, but I'm very glad that everyone trusted me, but I'm sorry to use the materials for me. "
"Yes, I'll tell everyone ..."
"Oh, the tea is getting steamy, so don't you think it's okay to drink and go home?"
As he was about to return, he stopped in a hurry, sat down and poured tea, and offered a sugar jar in front of him.
"Oh, thanks"
The man refused only one word before drinking.
"Thank you for receiving my feelings only."
"... I see ..... I mentioned the office of a public facility or trading post earlier.
"If you think about everyone, it's a public facility, but it's not needed yet, so is it a trading post and office that hosts merchants? Is there a sake brewery visible from the bay?" It's large near and not so far from the bay, so it's a good place to entertain customers. ''
"I understand! I'll proceed that way!"
When I said so, I drunk up the tea that was still steaming and went out.
"Huh .... I can't leave the guiding position a little more."
I was a little bit bitter and decided to keep my paperwork.
