Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

The 7th Legion defeated the enemy knights who were attacking Arsenum.

It was originally planned to use the surplus to attack as it were to the king capital of Rosalia, Reese, but it was immediately dismissed.

Apparently, the enemy forces earlier were only the advance team of the King's Alliance.

The number of King's Alliances now gathered in the King's Capital of Rosalia is said to be swelling to tens of thousands.

Regardless, Sephiro, the leader of the 7th Regiment, is not stupid.

"Let's retreat and see what happens here," he ordered, "so we can go back to our positions."

Upon hearing the order, I withdrew my troops first and headed home.

Returning to his own hall in Ivaris, he just entered the office.

You don't have to say anything. He bows his head respectfully, brings me a cup of tea, plus two glasses of sugar.

It is a fragrance and consideration that I have not tasted in a long time on the battlefield.

Once on the battlefield, there were beautiful women.

He is an ageless witch named Sephiro and a succubus named Lilith.

They were beautiful because of their appearance, but they can't be as meticulous as Satti's.

Wouldn't I be able to make a cup of tea?

Not to mention there's no way you can bake cookies that taste like Satie.

With that in mind, cheek Sati's baked cookies.

Sweet aroma and buttery aroma spread.

I was too mediocre in my previous life to understand the problem, but the food called confectionery is a hobby in this world.

The common people can't eat well.

Is it a small luxury as a ruler to be able to eat that even every day?

With that in mind, I enjoy the aroma of tea, but I still miss that flavor.

"Oh, I'd love some coffee."

Satti reacts to the word.

"Is that coffee?

"Oh, did you hear that? I was gonna whine in my little voice."

"Sati's ears won't listen to your husband's little words."

Satti says with a smile on her face.

"... that's scary"

From now on, we must also be careful to speak to ourselves.

With that in mind, explain the coffee.

"Coffee is an amber drink. Fried black beans, no, they're originally red. I don't care. It's a delicious drink with a very good aroma."

"But the tea also smells good..."

"That's a different scent. Tea feels so noble, coffee is so noble. More popular scent."

"Oh, is it massive...?

Sati seems overwhelmed.

Well, you do. It's hard to explain the smell of coffee to a human who has never smelled it before.

"If only we had real beans at least"

"Are you going to be producing coffee this time?

"No, you just can't do that. Coffee can only be taken in the South. I guess it's something else if you make it in a vinyl house and magically warm it up, but then it costs too much"

"Then shouldn't it be imported from the South?

"If only coffee beans existed, that would be possible."

"Does it not exist?

"I probably won't. I didn't see it in the king's capital of Rosalia."

That's what I said, but an unexpected person denied it.

Coffee would be in circulation in the South.

And it was my boss Cefiro who put the cross spear in it.

Instead of knocking, she came into the office on her own.

Only the chosen demon tribe is allowed into this hall, but unfortunately she was the chosen demon tribe.

So this is how I can come into my office with dignity, but I wanted you to at least knock.

"Why, that face, at least knock," he said.

Besides, this guy is sharp.

You can't even see the look on your face with a mask, but you seem to know what I'm thinking so you can take it.

In my heart, when I surrendered with my hands up, I questioned the sincerity of her statement.

"Is it true that coffee exists?

"It's true. I have seen it in Zenobia in the south. That's a drink with that black bean. Once, I drank, but it was painful. It doesn't fit the mouth of a concubine."

"That's it. That's it. Oh well, there's one in this world too..."

"Do you like such bitter things?"

"Well, yes."

I miss caffeine, whether or not it goes to this guy.

Hi. Lately, in the afternoon, I was invited to drowsiness.

In my previous life, if I could drink coffee, it would be refreshing, but unfortunately, tea doesn't give me an awakening effect.

"Anyway, it's good news that we have coffee. I haven't enjoyed that scent in a long time."

That's what I thought. I just called Giron and tried to instruct him to arrange coffee.

but -, that can be stopped by a witch who is my boss.

"You rely on that pig no matter what. Sometimes you're not gonna try and do something on your own?

"No, assuming I'm Ivaris' lord. Besides, this is the front line. You can't leave me here."

"Do you know the quote that when you have a boss who is too competent, you don't grow a subordinate?

"... I know. Stain yourself."

My relationship with the witch in front of me may be a good example of this.

While I'm making up for Sephiro's lack of motivation and grudge, I feel like I've been diligent and gained a lot of experience.

The point is, if your boss does anything on his own, your men won't grow up, I guess she's trying to say.

"I have quite a few good ones for your men. Orcs like that Giron are not competent either, but they are honest in their duties and loyal to you. I found a good man."

"Tell that to him himself. I'll be glad to cry."

"It's in your boss's power to determine your men's abilities."

"Besides, a dragon man named Sigan is a calm and capable commander. My daughter named Lilith isn't smart enough, but she's powerful enough to make up for it. Besides, they still have room to grow. It won't be bad to leave this city to them for a while."

"The point is, you don't have a problem letting them be away, do you?

"Exactly."

And, Sephiro says it all.

"As far as I'm concerned, you're not just sending me to Zenobia for coffee, are you?

"No way. The concubine is not that drunk. I thought you might want to buy some emulsions that are supposed to be good for your skin."

Sephiro played and showed it to me, but as soon as I knew it was a joke.

Because I immediately got a serious look on my face.

"- I want you to head to Zenobia, a trade city of the South. As the name of the Demon King."

With that look, I immediately suspect.

"- I see, I mean, buying coffee is an excuse, and you have some secret purpose."

"The boulder is Lomberg's grandson, I guess."

"I've known the captain for a long time."

"So do you have any idea what that's about?

"I can imagine, do you mind?

"Um, I don't mind"

She allowed me to speak like a teacher.

"The Commander, no, perhaps, but doesn't the Demon King want to make a deal with Zenobia, the leader of the 'Trade Union' in the South?

"Oh, what's the basis for that?

"The financial situation of our army"

I'll say it in a nutshell.

"At the moment, the financial situation of our army cannot be described as luxury. The reign of the Demon King has made it far richer than it used to be, but it is still not enough. Especially food shortages."

"Thanks to you, Ivaris' agricultural output has swelled."

"Still, it's not enough to go across the whole army. Agriculture takes time to get results."

"Of course."

"Besides, the land originally occupied by the Demon King's Army is not very rich, and there are more industrial cities than agricultural cities. The wars have devastated fields and so forth. One of these days, we're going to suffer from a serious food shortage."

"Then it seems to be the Demon King's Army, and there is a hand to conspire, no, plunder from the inhabitants?

"The Demon King won't be that stupid. Because of this, I don't see it extending to such foolishness, even though the operation of the occupied territories has said well"

"Then where do you think the Devil King's aim is? No, what would you do?

Sephiro's voice is more serious than ever.

Or maybe this witch is trying to grasp the sincerity of the Demon King, too.

This man is also an intelligent and mindless demon, but he is still a demon. I guess that mindset will be based on the Demons.

"The Demon King probably wants to sell the excess industrial products, especially jewellery, crafts, etc. made by Dwarf artisans to the South and obtain the luxurious food of the South with that gold"

When I say so, Sephiro exhales with the words "… Hmm".

I know the answer with that attitude, but for once, I'll ask.

"So, Captain, does my answer fit?

Sephiro neither affirms nor denies.

"... I don't care. - I don't care, but I'm saying the same thing as the Demon King."

"I mean, is the answer okay with 100 points?

Sephiro said this in the usual child-like tone without clearly answering it either.

"By order of the Demon King, anyway. I'm Ike, Deputy Commander of the 7th Corps. Instead of a concubine, go to Zenobia in the South and make a trade treaty with the Allies of the Trade Unions!

When Sephiro tied it that way, he turned back on his heels with a little bit of rot.

She leaves words like a throwaway dialogue.

"Well, if I fail, I'll start all over again under my concubine."

and -.

And he cast the magic of metastasis, and disappeared.

Seeing that figure, Satti, who had refrained beside him, asks terribly.

"Are you sure? Master Sephiro was angry."

"That's not angry. I'm stubborn."

"Obsessed?

"He bends his navel when I give him an example."

"Why? Your husband came up with the right answer, didn't he?

"You must still think of me as a child"

"Child......, is it?

"Oh, the captain and I have been dating since we were kids. I still think I'm going to have to lead them."

"I see, that's not angry, you're obstinate"

Satti smiles reluctantly when she gets a convincing look.

"You're certainly like a child, as your husband said."

"Well put, I still have a child's heart. You look like a kid, to put it badly."

I leaked that sarcasm, but when Satie suddenly stopped laughing, she leaked like this.

"Nevertheless -"

And Satti goes on to say:

"Master Sephiro knows your childhood husband, doesn't he?

"Yeah, but?

When I hear that word, Satti releases a rare dialogue.

"I'm a little envious of Master Sephiro. No, I'm jealous."

"Why not?

"Because I have never seen your husband as a child. I must have imagined she was cute."

"... so cute"

Is that praised?

It's an unlike any middle-level executive in the Demon King's Army, but I did have a lovely childhood, too.

With that in mind, I was ready to head south.
