Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

The adorable girl in the maid's clothes was sweeping the floor with a mask. Thanks to the girl's daily cleaning, the building where Ike lived, the commander of the eighth regiment of the Demon King's Army, was kept clean. The girl's name was Sati. Once enslaved by the lord of Ivaris. She is now Aiko's maid.

"... what is this?"

Saty found a key falling from the end of the hallway as he was sweeping it. When I crouched down and picked it up, the key said "Armory." Sati grabbed the key with both hands and ran to Ike.

Master!

I thought it was rude, but Sati opened the door without waiting for a reply. There was no Ike who was supposed to be sitting in the office. So Sati remembered the conversation this morning.

"I'm going to inspect the town."

Visiting? Going out?

"Yeah, the report alone doesn't tell us how the people of the town live."

"Ladies and gentlemen, you're a good man."

I think so.

Well then, welcome.

Satie frowned at the key in her hand. Satie didn't know who to give the keys to in Ike's absence. In the meantime, I put the key in my maid's pocket. Sati went to retrieve the dust and dust that had been left behind.

Coming back from the inspection, Ike twisted his neck at Sati's absence. Saty always greets Ike at the front door when he comes back and prepares tea for him. But today it wasn't there. Ike headed for his room first.

Sati?

There was no one in the room. Maybe it's taking some time to cook. Thinking so, Ike went to the cooking room. I took a peek at the cleaning kit store on the way, but it wasn't there either. In the cooking room, only the utensils that would be used for dinner were prepared, and no cooking was done.

(...... No way)

Ike searched the hall, putting his bad imagination in the corner of his head. Where Sati was likely to go, he went to stare at it, but there was no sign of it. I found my men in and out of the building and asked them. Ike was careful to speak in a calm tone so as not to sound impatient.

"Sati used to clean the hallways."

I saw Master Ike on the porch when he came out for an inspection.

"Like running down the hallway?"

"Speaking of which... I didn't see it"

After listening to them, I went back to my room to think calmly. Until Ike went to inspect it, it seemed that something was happening while cleaning the hallway.

Sati, can I have some tea, please?

Ike, anxious to come forward, once asked for tea to refresh his head, but did not reply. It's only natural that Saty isn't around. Ike let out a sigh.

"It's easy to be rude!!"

A knock was made on Ike's room door by the sound of a knock. It was clear from the rush that Giron was the chief of staff. When I opened the door with the "Disarm" magic, Giron entered.

"I'm sorry, Master Ike, I dropped the key to the armory in the hall!"

I was crying with a loud apology. Sati is missing and the key to the armory is missing. Ike is the one who wants to cry. Ike laid his hand on the forehead of the Immortal King's mask.

"... do you know where I dropped it?"

"It's a corridor. I dropped it while I was carrying weapons to train my soldiers, but I couldn't pick it up because I had a lot of weapons in my hand..."

I dropped the key in the hallway, took the weapon to the training ground, and when I came back, the key was gone?

That's right! That's right, Master Ike!

Ike wondered if Sati was in the armory when he was sorting out the words he'd heard from Giron.

"... did you enter the armory after that?"

"No, the trainer has returned the weapon."

"I see, I see." I'll take the next step. "

When Ike finished speaking, he quickly headed for the armory. Losing the key to the armory is a big deal, but Ike wanted to find Sati first.

The Armory is in sight. Ike looked in front of the armory and was exhausted. The weapon used was left in front of the armory door.

(... don't you know how to handle weapons?)

I had a headache. Ike has a headache because he is human. Tomorrow, during the drill, I decided to do something to punish the handling of weapons and the mess. Otherwise, Ike's headache won't go away forever. After applying the light [infliction magic] to Ike himself, I activated the weapons.

Sati, are you there?

Ike retracted his weapons and called out to Saty, who would be inside.

"... Master?"

A small voice was heard inside the door. Ike lifted the large box with relief. It weighed firmly. If it hadn't been for the Grant Magic , it would have been too heavy for Ike to carry it. Inside were arrows and arrowheads. It is quite heavy because the iron plate is laid so that the hole is not drilled with an arrow on the bottom.

(... I see. You're too heavy to put in the armory.)

The door to the armory opened when I pulled out the arrow box. At the same time, Sati rushed out in tears. I wonder if he was scared, but Satie cried, clinging to Ike. Ike caught Saty without falling.

"I'm sorry!! I, I, pick up the key from the armory....."

"Giron dropped it. You found it in the hallway, didn't you?"

"Yes! But my husband is not here and I don't know who to give it to...... I went to the armory after cleaning...... I thought it would be tough if the armory key was opened......"

"If that's the case, please contact me. Or give it to Jillon."

"Yes... I'm sorry."

"It was the trainer who dropped the key and didn't put the weapon back in the armory." It's my management error. I'm sorry. "

"It's not your mistress's fault..."

From now on, let's keep the arrows separate so they don't get too heavy.

Saty jumped in a panic when he realized that he was clinging to Ike. I bowed my head and said, "I'm sorry!!” he apologized. Before Ike could open his mouth and say he didn't have to apologize, Sati handed Ike the key to the armory from his maid's pocket.

It's the key to the armory.

"You don't have to tell me. Sati's got it."

Is that me?

Ike nodded. After spending a few months with Satie, Ike decided that she would never lose or lose her keys. Saty spends more time at home than Ike. It's too inconvenient to leave Ike in a room or the Armory without him. Ike thought it would be more convenient for Sati to have it.

"I'd like to ask Sati to take care of the keys... okay?"

Y-Yes! I'll do my best not to lose it!

Saty put a serious look in his face and put a key in his pocket.

"Sati, can you get Giron and the trainers with the weapons?"

I see.

Satie walked out to call Giron and the others. Ike put the words he forgot to say on his back.

Sati, I'd like a cup of tea when I'm done with the armory.

Saty looked back.

Okay, I'll make you a nice cup of tea!

Ike narrowed his eyes at the smile. Ike has been watching Satie for a while, but Giron and his trainers begin to think about how to explain the organization of the armory and the handling of weapons. I want to finish it quickly and drink Sati's tea and take a breath. Ike smiled bitterly at himself for thinking so.
