Maou no Hajimekata

Lesson 3: Earn Your Recurring Income

"Well, now you're ready for battle."

Seeing the young and old standing in front of him, Oul nods. Age and gender are falling apart, and that group still has the sword in pieces, the bars in their hands, the tools, the things that are likely to become weapons.

The only thing we have in common is "that we are all corpses".

They are so-called moving corpses (living dead), living corpses breathed into their first lives by the magic of Oulu.

"You really don't trust anyone else..."

Looking around, Lil shrugs. Gargoyle is forced to submit fully to Oulu by contract. You can only do what you are commanded to do faithfully and do what you are not commanded to do. It's a good kind of contract when it comes to signing with demons below intermediate level.

The corpses don't even exist themselves in the first place. It's just a puppet being moved by the magic of Oulu.

The only lil who has free will and can move to some extent of his own will is limited if he does it by fine contract.

Lil hit on that thorough response that something must have happened in the past, but he doesn't pry against it.

I didn't think about Oul. Because there was a "don't pry into the past" clause in the contract.

"So go to the next village"

Didn't you hear Lil whine, or did you hear it but ignore it?

Oul does that without answering the whine.

"Next? Still attacking the village?

Each piece of food and hardware found in this village is given to the dead as much as possible. Not so rich a village, but a huge amount because of the proximity of winter. Lil doesn't need what he can eat, and there's too much for Oulu alone.

"No, it's more the real deal from here"

Lil puts his hand on his forehead to a niggling, grinning oul. We're still dating for a whole day or so, but I've come to know that Oulu when I show this grin is largely when I'm thinking about not even Locke.

Pishaaaaaaaa!!

Lightning scorches the ground with a unique roar as if the space itself were to burst.

The weather is clear with no clouds. Lightning, which fell with no rain but thunder, was due to the magic of Oulu.

For eating magic, the range of attack is narrow, and it's not that powerful. It's enough to kill an organism, but it has little effect on non-organisms like stones and rocks. It's such a user-friendly sorcery, but it was a pretty effective technique to just threaten your opponent.

Surprised by the sudden thunder, the villagers come out of the house wondering what was going on. So what I saw was a suspicious man dressed in a black robe and a woman dressed in an apologetic costume, and an army full of blood.

"Listen carefully. My name is Oul, the wicked sorcerer."

"I just thought, what about calling yourself an evil sorcerer?

"Shut up. This kind of thing better be easy to understand."

I still whisper back to Lil, who puts the penetration in a whisper.

"I'm here today to bring you a deal."

In the meantime, Oul moves on to the oldest man right in front of him.

"And a deal......?

Compared to earlier villages, this village is quite lumpy. Sometimes there is no one like the mayor of the previous village, but there is also a great deal of undead behind Oulu.

"That's right. Give me food once a month, and a beautiful and clean maiden once a year. Then I will give you my blessing. The crop will not be hit by murder, nor will the wolves, nor the children, nor the bandits threaten you."

Lil looks surprised, but ignores it.

"The... what if I didn't respond to the deal...?

Oul raises his hand lightly to the terrified asking villager. With that signal, the dead behind him stepped forward.

"These are the fools who didn't respond to the deal."

"- Mr. Georg......!

Some of the villagers raise their voices when they see the face of 'What Was the Village Chief' among them.

"You were that Osama celebrity."

"It's a broken arm for a village of that size./(adv, adv) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

Oul answers Lil's whining.

"If you are hostile to me, waiting is not something lifelike death. - It's endless and eternal hard work. But if you accept the deal, you will have a hundred years of abundance. More fruitful than the food you serve. Promise me more safety than the daughter I'm offering. Now, are you chiefs wise men? Or the fool?

The villagers looked at each other, but I guess the answer is largely determined.

There was nothing like rubbing it, and they swore to Oulu to bow down.

"It would be good. Then make an altar in the centre of the village, and make offerings on the first day of every month. The offering consists of one cow, two pigs and five chickens. The crop will devote five minutes to all the types that it has been able to take during the month. Likewise, let your daughter wait at the altar on the first day of the Dragon Moon. Look, my daughter must be a beautiful, clean maiden who doesn't know a man yet."

"It's so fine..."

Boosh and Lil squeal, but ignore this again.

Then, placing the gargoyle in the center of the village for surveillance and escort, cursing the fields of abundance, and leaving brief instructions on how to make the altar, Oul took the dead and Lil to leave the village behind.

"Hmm... don't calm down when you get back here"

Over the next few days we went around some of the neighboring villages, and after signing a similar contract, the Ouls were returning to the dungeon.

In the end, there was nothing to resist except the first village, and in all, he signed with six villages. Some villages are somewhat far away, but using the magic of dungeon cores to use the technique of metastasis is fine. The altar that the villagers were allowed to make was also a landmark in the art of metastasis.

One room, which was a killer landscape with furniture brought in from the destroyed village, became a fairly calm space, and Oulu sank himself loosely on the couch.

"But you were a little surprised. I thought you were going to destroy them all and take them away. On the contrary, I can't believe we're sharing magic to guarantee your life."

In fact, there is no reason to remember the blame of conscience in those places, but it was also preferable for Lil to care about the villagers to some extent. Even demons don't call themselves incarnations of destruction and slaughter.

"It doesn't matter how many villages you have if you do that. It's just like humans take care of livestock. If they starve to death, and they can't live, there's no more fruit here."

"Oh, I see."

The explanation that it was the same as livestock came true for Lil. Because humans from the devil are just like that. I don't feel comfortable killing it without darkness because it's a benefit to me, and I learn a little resistance to killing the irresistible, but if it's something that strips me of my fangs, I have nothing to do with killing it.

"Oul, you're really more like a demon than a demon."

"… let's take it as a compliment"

With a somewhat flashy look, Oul lifts his hips off the couch and moves to the bed.

"We still have a pile of things to do, but you've got a job done for now. Let's just say it's time to rest today.... Come."

"Didn't you say 'I don't need it for the time being'? And anyway, you'll have a young daughter soon."

While that's good, Lil gets close to the bed because there's no way he won't listen to orders.

Oh man, are you still bending your umbilicus...... and Oul sighs inside, but doesn't give it to his expression.

"You have two weeks before your first daughter comes. Well, I didn't ask for a virgin just to hold her."

Pulling his arm forcefully as he lay on the bed, Oul tucked the lil in his arm.

Each of the six contracted villages shifted the month dedicated to his daughter, so a new daughter is supposed to arrive every two months.

"I still have enough magic accumulated on you, but there's something 'accumulated' here too. Besides... there's no way you guys are more comfortable than the Dream Devil, who only exists for the sake of affection."

Speaking of unfamiliar lip service, Lil was looking at Oul's face as he nibbled.

Although it is true to say lip service, it is also a slight humiliation to Oulu that he has been told one thing he does not have to say.

"Besides, your body, which is made of magic, has only a small amount of magic, but it also has more capacity. In the first place, capacity itself is out of step with humans. I'll keep getting people to deal with me frequently, so be prepared."

"Ha, … Lord, Person, Dear"

Oul sighed in his heart again as he pushed down Lil whispering in his ear to tickle.

Absolutely, I've chosen a troublesome demon as my partner.

Lil doesn't realize that she has similar feelings for Oulu.
