Episode 34

Then, for a while, I devoted itself to governing Lünheit.

I would like to report to and consult with the Demon King, but I was distracted by asking a teacher who was not yet in good shape. I want to rest a little more.

Instead, only the report was sent, as Technician Krutse uses his men as liaisons.

Office at noon.

"I'm grateful that Krutse was there, because werewolf and dog squads wouldn't be able to explain the contents of the report if asked."

I was feasting on the skewers I bought at the stall, to Technician Krutze, who had become good friends. The sweet sauce is a delicious guy.

"I personally like the taste of the stalls here. I hope they taste good."

"It's very delicious"

Like a carnivorous race, Technician Krutse is quite fond of eating.

"This sweet sauce looks good on locusts."

"... I see."

I really like insects, Dragon people.

After flattening some chicken skewers, Krce said he was drinking while drinking his treasured green tea.

"There is only a trading city and the food culture here is rich. What is this seasoning?"

"It's a spicy liquid made from brewed beans."

I am glad that the soy sauce flavor fans have increased in another world.

Just after all, the taste is slightly different.

Kurtze nodded, answering this.

"This taste may be of interest to your Majesty the Devil. Would you please tell me where to buy it?

Was Krutze's aide to the Devil after all?

If you know even the taste of the Demon King, it is quite confidant.

I have to be careful about remarks ...

"This unfermented tea is also fragrant and quite interesting. I would also like to give it to Her Majesty. Are you sure?"

"Oh, I hope you like it."

It's a bit painful because it's backordered, but I'll give you the whole tea caddy without saying it's stinky.

I still have three hidden.

Klutze relaxes and looks up at the steam of tea drifting indoors.

"Yes, we collected soils at several locations in Tuban and Lünheit. We will send them to Grunstadt for component analysis."

"Can you do it?"

"Traditional methods, in which technicians with particularly sensitive tastes judge by taste ... may find valuable mineral resources."

Their methods are scientific, but the technology has not yet caught up.

After that, I and Krutze saw the Ryujin technicians with the report at the south gate.

Please send that sweet sauce and green tea to the Demon King firmly.

Glory to Japanese food.

On the other hand, Priest Juhit recovered steadily.

However, the length of time that he was exposed was so long that his legs were weak. I can't walk without my cane.

I go to visit occasionally during public affairs, but my heart is weakened as if I have had a tough experience.

"Can a sinner like me live? ... I'm old enough to kill a lot of my brothers and disperse misery."

Suddenly Priest Yucht muttered such a thing, so I thought a little.

In this world where magic exists, dead humans never return.

You can revive as much as you ask, but the result is a dead doll that has no will or memory. Not a person from birth.

It seems that reincarnation can theoretically be reincarnated after death, but the effect has not been confirmed because memory is lost. It doesn't make much sense.

No matter how much they regret, the dead will not return.

So I had no choice but to say this.

"Sure, you and I killed four hundred Tuban soldiers."

I'm in the army, he's a criminal act, but I'm not going to say that.

"I don't regret that, but if you regret it, you have to save the same number of lives."

This is the Demon King's style.

Failure can be compensated with the same weight.

Priest Yucht stared at me and nodded small.

"Do you live the same number? ..."

"If you are dissatisfied with four hundred, save eight hundred or four thousand. Sin will never go away, but it's better than dying without saving one."

I stood up and bowed to Priest Jucht.

"I would like to see a quick recovery and return to the Huiyang gathering. They are worried."

With that said, I left the room.

Was it a bit cold?

That's okay.

After that, Priest Yucht returned to work in the temple, but his tone seems to have changed.

Formerly a totalitarian with strong synchrony pressure, yesterday's sermon looks like this.

"I was shallow. It is only human wisdom that people with the same values and morals work together. The wisdom of God is deeper. Those with different values and different morals On top of it, the sun's light is falling in the same way ... "

I'm not sure, but it seems that Priest Juhit has started calling for coexistence with pagans and demons.

I don't know what kind of change it was, but the Luyenheit Luoyang were completely quiet.

Rough wolves have recently been in a good mood because they can be kind to wherever they go.

Suddenly, there was no hostile power in Lünheit against the Demon Army.

Both the Guard and the Huyos are now cooperative.

And this will create a new development.

"Weid. I have a little consultation, can you have some time?"

It was already evening when Iori Tamori visited my office.

I sign the last paper and then recommend her a chair.

"Again, what is the consultation?"

Then, Iria, unusually hesitant, opened her mouth as she decided.

"We want to make Lünheight independent of Milaldia."

"What?"

I stood up and stared at her face.

are you serious?

We, the Demon Army, completely occupy Lünheit.

Just for occupation, Lünheit is part of the Milaldia Alliance. The early story is the Demon King's hostage, and we, the Demon King's army, are squatter occupying terrorists.

Unfortunately, we are not a legitimate army or nation for humans.

Since the Demon King has also occupied nearby cities, the only hope that the Lynhite can be freed is that of the Milaldia Alliance.

But once Lünheit is independent of Milaldia, help is no longer available.

On the contrary, they will turn all cities of Miraraldia into enemies.

Ilia continued, wondering how I had responded.

"At the same time as independence, Lünheit wants to formally form an alliance with the Demon Army."

"No, wait."

I'm grateful for the offer, but I can't help but worrying about Ilia.

"How much can you do so, at your own discretion?

"That's okay."

Iria took out a bundle of letters from her pocket.

"Each district's Chamber of Commerce, the Temple of Huiyang, the Temple of Shizuki, and the Lünheit Guard. All other organizations have officially stated their favor for Lunheight independence."

"Cant Believe It"

I was surprised at the development, but when I calmed down, I was satisfied.

At present, Lunheit is unlikely to be released by the Milaldia Alliance.

It would be more convenient to turn over to the Demon King Army.

I am governing the current Lünheit, but if I was killed in the war and the commander changed, my governing policy would change.

But if they formally ally with the Demon Army as an independent city-state, Lünheit will remain secure.

... However, it is too bold.

"I often wanted to make such a bet."

Speaking of my excuses, Ilia put a bunch of letters on her desk with a clear face.

"Lünheit is a trading city and a merchant town. We examine the dangers and rewards and make decisions based on gains."

"The result is such an unreasonable proposal"

Then, Ilia smiled as if she was in trouble.

"You have made everyone feel like that, Mr. Weid"

Am I?

"In view of your occupation policy, everyone decided that the Demon Army was a trustworthy trading partner. If Mr. Weid would be the intermediary, he would do well with the Demon Army."

In theory, I was convinced, but I'm still a little confused.

Then Ilia whispered quietly in my ear, in a small voice.

"As the first city-state to help the Demon King, please let me drink sweet juice forever?"

Oops.

This is a pretty villain.

Then I'm going to do what I need to do as an aide to the Third Division of the Demon King.

"Is independence and alliance a pre-investment in the Demon Army? I understand. I will report to the Demon King responsibly."

I gave her hand, and Ilia held her hand back.

It was a refreshing smile.
