Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

Having finished my covenant with the elves, I return with my men to Ivaris, a territory.

Will it take around 10 days, as it will include the troops of the devil tribe led by the dragon man Sigan, and the warriors of the elves?

If I were alone, I could use magic and go home faster, but I don't need to rush the journey in particular.

I had a hard time with them. I wanted to march with you on your way home and earn that labor.

When I think of it that way, Lilith lines up the horses beside me and talks to me.

"But, Master Ike, now Ivaris is cut up by Giron's guy by himself, is he going to be okay?

"Don't worry when they say that," he replied, half a joke.

"There won't be a big problem. If the Rosarian army has attacked, there will be an emergency report, and there should be no problem in terms of governance"

"But he could be embezzling public money, which is good to know that Mr. Ike isn't here. I was happy to have a new baby the other day."

"Right. How many kids? Was it the 12th?

"Sixteen of them. Orc women give birth to three or four at a time."

"That's very exciting."

And I'll defend Giron in the foreground.

"He's not a capable man, but he's a trustworthy man. That's why I'm relieved to be away. Well, you can't expect administrative processing capability, but you're not the kind of man who embezzles public money"

That being said, Lilith laughs half the joke, "I hope so.

"But, well, I'm sure if we go back to Ivaris, there 'll be piles of paperwork"

That makes me exhale when I think about it.

A case that Giron's guy couldn't handle must be piling up on my desk in my office like a mountain.

There are mountains of work to be done by lords, from handling rubbing between residents, petitions from peasants and merchants, craftsmen, to divorce mediation at the end.

Considering that, I miss my relaxing life in the elves.

Mushrooms are harvested during the day and fields are plowed. At night, watch the moon and night while playing the brass instrument (lute).

It's a guy called Slow Life.

It's a hard life to taste in Ivaris.

Some daughters are just tired of those lives.

She was the daughter of an elf named Anemone who joined our 8th Corps the other day.

She asks me every now and again on the road.

"What kind of city is it called Ivaris?

"Do you have a spectacle hut? Do you have a library? Is it true that cobblestones are laid? Is there a fountain in the square?

"Do you have a lot of shops on Main Street? Don't my clothes look like countrymen? What kind of clothing is popular among humans?

"Elves can only be eaten by vegetables, do you get fresh vegetables? I like tomatoes, do tomatoes circulate?

Each time, I appropriately associate myself with what you imagine is a city, but I'm getting into trouble with the boulders, so I push Lilith to talk to me.

Lilith looked disgusted at first, but the conversation seemed to have bounced off after talking for a while.

After all, women, they talk to each other. Now I've even talked about the colors of clothes, the colors of skirts and, at the end of the day, the underwear that are popular among human women, but never mind, I move on with the horse.

When I get away from them, Satie, who was putting me behind her beloved horse, talks to me.

"Mr. Anemone seems intrigued by the city of Ivaris."

"Sounds like it. Well, I don't know what it feels like."

I guess the feelings of the locals admiring the city haven't changed much in their previous lives or in this world.

I also know what it's like to have an elf daughter who doesn't know outside the woods.

"On the contrary, don't admire the lives of the people of the Elf Forest. When this world is at peace, I want to live quietly in an idyllic place like this."

"Nice, I'd also like to read in a book while listening to the sounds of the little birds in the garden where the forest leaks"

"I just wonder if shopping to the city will be inconvenient. Well, I wish I could have it in between transfers and go to the city at any time - so, is it slow life or anything? It's just an urban life."

When I leaked my laugh, Satie laughed, "Right," too.

"But will such a day come?

Satti asks with a little seriousness.

"I'll visit. No, I'll let him visit."

When I made that affirmation, I speeded up the horse's speed.

You can't just pray to make a peaceful world.

We must take action.

If we do not digest the immediate challenges first, we will not visit them when they are at peace.

One of those challenges includes, of course, the territorial management of the city of Ivaris.

Connect and run the city to enrich the territory, provide abundant food and weapons to the Demon King's Army, make deals, store wealth, and prepare for the war to come.

That was my goal now.

"War to come -, is it?

Satti asks.

"Oh, I think it's time to start."

"... will the city of Ivaris be a battlefield again?

"No," I shake my head.

"The White Rose Knights, who have attacked Ivaris, have repelled. The Red Dragon Knights, who besieged Aresta, also defeated him. Besides, the other day, Rosalia's main force, the Knights of the Twin Eagles, also defeated it. I hear the Demon King's army is turning into an offensive on other fronts."

"Say?

Satti asks with a decent face.

"I mean, it's time for our Demon King's Army to embark on an attack on the king capital of Rosalia, Reese."

So daring to herald, I turned to the king's capital, Reese, in a certain direction.

It was just time for the sun to set on the horizon.

The horizon is burning bright red.

Will the king's capital burn bright red like this horizon when attacking Reese?

If I could, I'd like to occupy it in a way that doesn't harm the inhabitants of Leesas.

Is that a story where the bugs are too good?

The showdown in Leesas is expected to be intense.

Hopefully, we will settle for the least damage on both sides, and we would just like to celebrate with the Demon King and Sephiro in the King's Capital of Leesas.

"Well, that's later. Now we need to get back to Ivaris and focus on our internal affairs."

When he shrugged, he quickened his horse to Ivaris, the realm of Reishi.
