"Is Master Ike going south?

That was my first voice when I told Lilith about the situation.

Then "I will also offer you," he tries to start preparing for the journey, but stops.

"No, Lilith's leaving a message this time"

Naturally, the voice of condemnation rises.

"It's not this Lilith who makes Ike's offering, but what do we do? I don't doubt your strength, your intellect, your loyalty, and you can do anything until you work at night."

"... Whatever the last one is, I appreciate your strength. So leave it."

If the White Rose Knights Commander Alistair raids, the rescue of Gunter, king of Dwarves, and such rough things, you may accompany this daughter, but this time she will not.

"Rumors of the abundance of Ivaris are spreading yesterday, bringing together floaters and refugees. It's fine to have a larger population, but then there will be more rubbing. I want you to take care of the security of the city of Ivaris."

"Say?

"If you find someone who's evil, beat him up and get him."

"I see. Do you mind if I punch you enough to get your brains out of your left ear?

"... no"

"Then from the right ear"

"Neither. You just have to hit him enough to get a minor injury and put him in jail. And then Giron will do something about it."

When I say that, I turn to Giron.

"As I said now, I leave the governance of the city to you. You just have to do what you always do."

"Yes......"

Giron replies carelessly.

"What's up?

And ask questions.

"... no, worried I could do it without my husband"

I see, is that what you mean?

Speaking of which, this may be the first time I've left everything to this guy.

I say it in a gentle tone to reassure Giron.

"I left a textbook for you. Read it if you're in trouble."

"Oh, no, can't you ask a magician to ask your husband about the magic of Reading Tales?

"No."

I slash and throw away in a nutshell.

As Sephiro also said, the Immortal Brigade guys tend to be too dependent on me.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to capture and let go of this as a good opportunity to make these guys independent.

I thought so. I repeat, on top of each other.

"Sure, every time something happens, it's possible for me to instruct you with the magic of Reading Tales. Or maybe it's more efficient."

"Then do so. I knew I'd be anxious without my husband."

Lilith also follows.

"In the first place, can't you travel to Xenobia with the magic of Metastasis? Wouldn't that do us a favor in a few days?

"The magic of metastasis can only be used to travel between authorized metastases or to travel short distances. I don't have permission to travel between Zenobia's metastases. I can't do that."

"Well, then, after all, it'll take at least half a month."

Lilith leaks her sigh.

"That's what I'm talking about," I say, asking the two of you to be away again.

And I decided to start traveling.

But still, Lilith complains.

"Dear Ike, I understand why I can't offer you, and I'm convinced. But why is that little girl accompanying you?

Lilith points to Satti, a girl dressed in maid clothes.

Satie seems confused, so I'll explain the situation.

This time, I explained that I was headed to Zenobia to make a trade pact with the leader of the Trade Union, the chairman of the Zenobian Council.

"Yes."

and Lilith nods.

"It's the first time in history that the Demon King's Army and humans have entered into a trade treaty. So I was wondering if I needed a living example."

"What do you mean?

"Humans and Demons are doing well. With these examples, I thought it would be easy to summarize the story."

"... ugh"

Lilith leaks her groaning voice.

Apparently, I'm convinced.

I glanced at Sati with my parents' enemies-like eyes, but no more, I didn't say grudge festival.

When Satie hides behind my back, she avoids that gaze.

Because Sati is pathetic as it is.

"Anyway, I'll take care of the rest. Come on, now, you're in charge of this city."

and forcefully summed up the conversations and ordered them to be inspired to their respective duties.

"... Yes"

"Understood."

Lilith and Oak each accepted, leaving the office behind.

When I saw it, I decided to get ready for the trip.

Even so, the maid Satti does everything about that hand. So there's nothing in particular to do.

One of the things I should have thought about was how to wrap up the negotiations with the head of the Zenobian trade union.

"The first trade treaty between man and the devil..."

It is something that has been hard to pinpoint.

I know the Demon King has bought me so much, but it's also hard to live up to expectations.

Now, this will be my first 'Diplomatic Debate', but whether it works or not.

I looked behind Satie, who begins his journey, and I thought about all the negotiating techniques.
