Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta
A moment of rest before the war
Returning to the city of Ivaris, the first thing we did was arrange for Peruvian wine - not confirmation of the food stored in the warehouse.
Now, let Giron bring the inventory.
Ivaris is an agricultural city. Food self-sufficiency exceeds 100%.
The point is that you're making money exporting the excess, but I didn't expect so many soldiers to gather so suddenly.
Will food reserves be ready in time?
I was curious to find out, but that point seemed pretty manageable.
"This is also the result of your husband's Norfolk farming method."
Satti says happily.
"Satie sounds happy. A lot of demons are coming together, right? Aren't you scared?
"I'm not afraid"
Satti runs out.
"Some people in the city are still scared, but Sati is a heck of a lot"
"I see, are you familiar now"
"Yes, and they're all Sephiro's men, right? Then you don't have to be afraid of anything. I bet they're all good people."
"... well, no bad guys"
There are single cells, but I think of Baio the werewolf.
And Satie's really happy.
And keep smiling.
"Satti can't do anything for you in battle, but I can help you with battle support"
and confidently put up the sleeves of the maid's clothes.
Says,
"If we get a lot of demon people together, we're gonna need a lot of meals, right? Satie can help, too."
Apparently.
"Sure, if the soldiers get together, the city ladies will have to help cook it out."
"Yes, I'll leave that to Sati. I know the city bakery lady, and I know the retired lady."
"That helps"
Nearly 2,000 demons and monsters gather.
We may not be able to keep up with the food supply unless we rotate around the town in full.
"And Satti discovered a delicious way to eat rice called long grains."
"I was eager to read a cookbook the other day."
"Yes, I still don't know what half means,"
- And she goes on, after a forethought.
"You can fry the onions until they are candied and put the beans, paprika and tomatoes in the pan. Stir that in olive oil and add Mr. Rabbit's meat. And then add rice, salt and saffron and simmer to make it a very tasty food."
"That's probably Paella. I don't know what you call it in this world."
Similar ingredients would develop similar dishes to nature.
But don't suddenly want rice when that happens.
It's been a while tonight, shall we order 'rice'?
"Satie, make me rice for dinner tonight"
"Yes, just now, would you like to have something like that paella?
"No, that's not bad either."
When I hear rice, it still reminds me of white rice because of the sadness of my past life.
However, it is also true that white rice is getting tired of white rice.
Suitable for white rice was still Japanese food.
I want to eat a whole dish based on soy sauce.
But I know that's impossible, so I decided to make a no-hassle order.
"I want fried rice"
"Is it fried rice? What kind of food is that?
"It's popular food in a country called Japan."
"Oh, is it Nihon again? How do you make that?
"Just fry the rice in a frying pan. Add onions, bacon, and chicken eggs. The taste is just salt."
I'd really like to include some Chinese vegetables, but I refuse to because that's impossible.
Besides, bacon alone contains enough flavour extract to taste good.
I came to the other world to find out that bacon is not food, it's a kind of dashi.
The flavour is concentrated.
If the bacon is stir-fried in oil, it will pass to the rice, which will taste unspeakable.
The point is that the other world can eat enough delicious food.
I instruct Sati how to make fried rice, remembering the memories of my previous life.
Going up to the table was a salty rustic fried rice, but it was quite tasty.
Eating that with a spoon, I thought of the faces of the brigade leaders who would come to Ivaris.
It's been a long time since we've all aligned.
There will be a gathering of them in this hall, but at least no one will complain about the dishes served.
That sentiment came to me when I was eating Sati's cooked grilled rice.
The city of Ivaris was full of life.
From all over Rosalia, the elites of the 7th Corps gather.
The human merchants who have heard the rumors are collecting liquor, gathering meat, collecting weapons and starting commerce from all over the place.
Rumors seem to have reached the end merchants that the demons of the 7th Corps will not plunder, but will pay the price properly.
Lilith of Sacubus has asked in wonder.
"Why do the human merchants do business with their demon king army counterparts?
"That's because I'm going to pay the right price."
I answer.
"Yeah, but we're the Demon King's Army. Aren't we enemies?"
"I guess that's where the human soul is."
"Graphic fat, isn't that a mistake?
Lilith laughs at Couscous.
Not wrong.
And I laugh, too.
"- But I like this kind of sight."
"This kind of sight, is it?
It was my maid Satie who had joined the conversation.
When I turned to her,
"Oh -"
And answer briefly.
"You'll be tired of watching the shady sights. I like these vibrant streets."
"It's a world where humans, demons, Mr. Dwarves, Elves, and other sub-people live together, isn't it? I think it's very nice."
Lilith is surprised to hear the words.
"Is it really possible to create a world like that?
"You don't think Lilith can do that?
"'Cause, of course, the demons are fighting each other, aren't they? For just a trivial reason."
"Right. Even the demons are fighting each other for a reason that keeps them down. I don't care about your face, you know, my horns are braver, for some really crappy reason."
Lilith is in tune.
"Same goes for humans. Small rivalries between villagers, rivalries over nobility's rights, they're much smaller and they're always broken up."
Satti also rarely expresses her opinion.
"The village where my mother was born was also contested between the villagers. Around the right to water......"
"Water rights?
Lilith returns in wonder.
"Yes, we were arguing over the water to be stored in the storage pond. Everyone is especially evil in those years when it rains less..."
"Nonsense. I wish the strongest village had a monopoly on that"
"I think that's where the fight comes from. I think we should all share it fairly."
As usual, the two opinions are in conflict.
Both were opinions representing their respective races.
No, slightly, is that Satie's opinion too grown-up?
Human strength still speaks of things.
You would choose the means of doing everything you can if you get stuck with your feathers.
"Well, it would be best if we could settle this with a discussion. But it's not going to be, so I guess it's going to be a war..."
I didn't despise humans like any other demon tribe, and I'm not a non-violent person like Sati.
Something like that in the middle?
Maybe the word 'realist' is the right word.
The coexistence of demons with humans and other subhumans was aimed, but nothing needed to live and see each other next door.
You can live separately from each other.
However, if each stunt takes advantage of its traits and thus trades with each other, occasionally drinks with each other, and has quite a relationship, that's fine.
Besides, that relationship doesn't have to last.
Because there can be no eternal peace.
The history of previous life, the history of this other world, but there has never been eternal peace.
However, there are times when there was peace among the bundles.
Those are the times I'm looking for.
Good thing it was only a few decades.
With that much time, you'd be at least as unrelated to the war as the girls beside me were alive.
Thinking like that, hey, Lilith comes out of the side with a face.
"Dear Ike, can I help you with something?
He looks like he's still in brain weather and doesn't think about anything.
I smiled, but at the same time I thought this.
With that said, I wonder how long the succubus of the Succubus lived.
If Thacubas is unexpected, a long-lived demon clan, decades or so of peace is not enough.
I might have to rethink my plan.
- Anyway, I'm talking about this Sacubus.
It would be a peaceful time, but it would be a time of war, but it would be a good procedure and a pleasure to live in.
