Episode 203

A few days after coming to the demonic castle. To hold a laundry competition for clothes worn by demons at the castle. The inside of the castle gradually becomes beautiful, but the body odor emitted by the demons is hard.

Prepare five washing barrels with magic circles of wind magic and water magic, and start washing more and more from your dirty clothes. He explained that if he didn't wash his clothes, he could get sick as well as stink as well as insects and mold, but he didn't understand.

"If you are a demonic without clothes or have no change of clothes, please line up here! I will measure!"

Melmo exclaimed in the castle hall. Only the female demons lined up.

Some demons were saying, "I don't need any clothes!" And Bow was in trouble.

"If you know the words and you are ashamed, there will be parts that you do not want to show except for the man you fell in love. It's okay. Women and the demons are fashionable."

After preparing Arachne's clothes, which was the first interpreter, there was a long line. The demons did not seem to have worn any new cloth clothes, and it was triggered by Arachne shouting in the words of the demons, "I have never worn clothes that are perfect for me!"

No matter how much Mermo's sewing skills are at stake, you can't just let one hundred or more demons make all their clothes by themselves. I also helped me with sewing skill 2 soberly, and the Isles helped work as directed.

Did you understand the meaning of washing by wearing new clothes? Washing clothes were blown by the wind on the washing strings stretched outside the castle and on the rooftop.

Of course, I also make a bath. Close to the well and drain the water into the irrigation canal.

"Fuha, I'm going to make a bath after all."

"Isn't there a base that didn't make a bath at this company?"

Bow and Seth laughed.

"Because Naoki loves bathing, he has a body that doesn't fit well if we don't have a bath."

Versa complained. To be honest, when I met Versa, I felt like I was living a very bad life. Now he is digging a hole for himself.

"When I take a bath, my tension is reset and I feel like my troubles fly with the steam.

I was laughing at my poor explanation, but there is nothing against creating a bath. Even though we are nervous, the demons' lives do not suddenly improve, and I feel that it is often easier to get involved with the demons in a relaxed atmosphere.

In about an hour, the usual bath was completed.

"Look, when the bath is ready, it will calm down somehow."

"Somehow, huh!"

"I want to go to a bubble-type bath someday ..."

"Fuha, bubbles come out? Why not make bubbles with soap?"

"No, not really, it's a nicer place."

I pooled the hot water in the bathtub, thinking about the soap kingdom, which I believe could go one day.

The bath was surprisingly popular among the beast-type demons, and the tiger demons, minotaurs, harpies, etc. were bathing in comfortably.

After a conversation with Gargoyle on the rooftop of the castle, he taught these words and the demons' words, Ayr came.

"So what do you do?"

"What do you do?"

"It's a human village across the hole. You're looking into it. Melmo are going to see it for themselves."

We told our employees that the hole that had already gone north from the castle on the highway was once a swamp and a magic pool, and people in the fire country were there. It is also reported that he had dug and collected magic stones. In response, Mermo and Seth seem to be voluntarily visiting the village.

Earlier, Mermo and Seth contacted me in a communication bag and reported that "there are many women in the village" and "the few men seem to be cutting trees."

Okay, they are. Do you know what to look at?

"I'm worried about human villages, but I'm the first demonic. It's good to make a field, hunt monsters, and become self-sufficient.

Great Plains harvested choclo. Autumn is almost over in a month.

There are children. There are monsters that can handle fire, but their magical power is also limited. Firewood will be needed.

"We need food and fuel. No matter how much we improve our lives, we die if we don't have at least enough to survive. In fact, there are so many races that died in winter and couldn't survive. "

"You can get as many firewoods as you have so much forest."

As Ayl says, there is a forest surrounding the castle. However, large demons who can defeat trees may hibernate in the winter, or they may be too hungry and eat their friends unless they keep as much as possible.

Explain to Aisle,

"It's a negative chain. Did you have no tools? It looks like there's an ax in the treasure trove. It's too late to say now. It's just that the demons alone have survived so far."

I was amazed.

The treasure house is a room in the basement of the castle that holds secret treasures collected by successive demon kings. The demons were apparently trying to stay away because of traps and the Demon King's curse, but Bow had released it as "Fuha, stupid." However, the gold-eyed objects and rarities seemed to have already been taken out by the self-proclaimed and demon kings, and were unusable things such as dead monsters in the shape of treasure chests, bows with broken strings, rusted swords .

"The demons alone will increase the number of dead bodies during the winter. Trade is needed. The nearest human settlement is the northern village, but it's people of the country of fire. Trade with those who robbed the territory It's hard to do. "

"So what do you do?"

"Is there an escape route that Bow used to escape from here? I'd like to use it to trade with the Great Plains because Rita is a Royal Family of the Great Plains."

"Can I use what I can?"

"That's right! Laundry and bathing should be a little negotiable."

"But what do demons offer to trade?"

"The magic stone has been taken to the land of fire. What's here, not in the Great Plains ..."

"Wood, nuts, and a demons-specific workforce?"

There are no thick trees in the Great Plains. Demand is likely because there are no nuts. As a workforce, it would be useful to be able to fly the harpy in the sky to deliver mail, and Lamia would go over the water, so it would be useful if the south was submerged.

"I guess that's the case. You can even think of demons being kidnapped by humans and becoming slaves, or being mistaken for monsters and being attacked? We need to hurry up the law, at least we definitely need the clothes, because that alone will tell us that demons and demons are different. "

"Yeah, but now there's a war with the country of fire."

"I wish I had a ceasefire ..."

After a discussion between the President and Vice President, the plan from the Komuro Company was generally decided, and the employees gathered that night. Communicated their direction.

"What is the objection?"

"Isn't that good. It's not like a cleaning and extermination company?"

Bersa said. Sure, it's like our job.

"Of course it's basically what the demons do. We just tell us how to cut the trees, how to process them, how to get the job, and what to do when negotiating. If the winter comes and all demons die and turn into zombies without telling me, will we have to get rid of it? There's quite a distance up to that. "

Bow nodded at my words. Previously, when she was rid of zombies, she sank into the sea.

"Hmm ... I guess it would be more fun to hold my hands before that."

"It's Bow's hometown. It's part of the job until the demons set up an environment for winter."

"Fuha, survive"

Bow scratched the horned head.

"Ah, but when I go to the negotiations the first time, I think it's better to have Rita move.

"I don't really feel that much. Even if my grandmother was a former queen, she had only sold flowers until then ..."

Bow was looking at Rita sideways and complaining about something.

"Don't look like that! I'll do it! I'm sweet to Bow-san ..."

"Fuha, then, I'll tell everyone a plan!"

Bow trotting to the castle hall.

In the hall at night, Bow slowly spoke to the demons, holding magic stone lamps.

We were secretly listening from behind.

In the hall of the atrium, there is an objection to Bow's words from the upper floor. But Bow also responded. I knew only the demonic word "winter".

Gyoeeeeeeee! ! !

There was a shout from the roof of the castle. It's like a gargoyle alert.

Tension runs through the hall in an instant.

I developed my detection skills and searched around the castle. I saw a person heading here on the road in front of the castle.

Since our employees are here, it looks like they're outside people.

"One man is heading for this castle."

As the Bow translated my words, the demons began to hide in a hurry or escape to the basement of the castle. He seems to be afraid of humans. We're humans too.

We got out of the gate and waited for the man to come. But who will come to this castle without the Demon King?

Petapeta tappeta, petapeta.

I heard the running footsteps, and Aisle fired a ball of light on the highway.

Illuminated is a barefoot woman in dingy clothes. In her arms she holds a baby wrapped in a blanket.

"Huh huh ..."

The breath is rough and the eyes are blinking. The sudden light doesn't seem to tell us where we are.

"Sorry. Sorry……"

A woman whose face was about to start crying suddenly began to apologize.

"Please ... I'm okay eating me ... Would you please keep this child alive?"

What are you saying? I want you to help.

For the time being, Rita, the same kind of friend at our company, is approaching a woman.

"Ah, are you a person? Is it a monster? It doesn't matter, please ... please ..."

"Can you talk about the situation?"

Rita asked the woman.

The woman swallowed and started talking.

"... I'm a prostitute in a nearby village. I don't know who is the father of this child. But ... I've never been held by a demon."

The woman showed Rita the baby's face from the blanket. The baby's head had two growing horns.

"It is a rule that in the village ... a monster child born must be returned to the forest as a sacrifice to the monster. But I could not leave it in the forest ... Is crying at night and found out .... Could you please raise this child as a monster companion, even if I can stand and walk? In exchange for my life ... please ... "

The woman frowned and complained with tears.

"Is it your child?"

Rita asked the woman.

"... That's right, but I was born a monster ..."

"It doesn't matter whether you're a human or a monster. If you're a baby who hurt your stomach, you should raise it."

Rita holds the woman ’s shoulder,

"This is not a place for your death. Live here and raise the child."

I said.

Is it the lineage of the Great Plains royal family? Rita's voice at this time had a sound that no one could tell.

"... Yes. Wow, oh ..."

The woman cried out loud, and Rita hugged her.

"Is it magical ..."

Versa muttered next to me.

Potun Potun.

The rain wet the cobblestones of the highway.

As we have shown, women and babies have been wrapped in magical walls to prevent them from raining and invited into the castle.
