Episode 95

I explained the situation surrounding the Demon Army and Lünheit, and the relationship with the surrounding cities.

After that, it is explained as follows.

"The Demon King wants to form an alliance with all the cities in southern Milaldia. I know the conflict between the northern and southern. If you cooperate with the Demon Army, you'll want to help improve the southern treatment as well."

Petre gazed at him with a calm look, as if he had been yelling and laughing a while ago.

Then he asks carefully.

"It sounds good, but it's meant to completely separate the south and the north."

It doesn't seem to get on the sweet sales talk.

So, as always, let's talk with a bad smile.

"The expression is not accurate."

"What does that mean?"

`` The Demon Army destroys Mirardia and disappears from the map ''

`` I'm going to destroy !? ''

Of course, it is a national story. It does not physically destroy it.

"The Demon Army has allied with all the cities in southern Milardia and has become independent from the north. A new nation with demons and humans coexisting."

Petore began to nervously and opened his mouth.

"It's going to be tough. Do you understand?"

"It's only the northern people who are going to have a hard time.

"Um ..."

Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, Petore asks me.

"What do you do after you've put the south together?"

"In the end, we'll make the northern part recognize our existence and allow demons to live in all 17 cities, though we're going to leave it to the next generation."

The northern people would not admit to coexisting with the demons, as they have caused considerable damage to civilians.

It will be a long time before memories fade and the bloody facts weather. It can take over a hundred years if you go bad.

"Hmm ..."

Petore thought with a wrinkle in his forehead and then replied:

"I understand your thoughts, but I have to check two things. Your ability and your credibility."

That's an important point.

Petore continues.

"I hear a lot of spies sent to me about my abilities. I'm going to take control of Lünheit and its surroundings, and that's enough."

"Oh, did you send me a spy?"

Gash said, Petole sighed.

"Knowing what's going to happen in the next room, I'm asleep at ease. I'll send it to Belousa."

"seriously"

Petre says, with the utterance of Ghersh at the bottom.

"I also think credit is more like a better thing than the northern part, because the northern part keeps us secret, and then we ask for unilateral cooperation. I like that."

There is a great guarantor, Iria, about the Demon King's credibility. She has a desperate decision to be first and foremost independent of Miraludia.

Petore looks at me skeptically.

"But if you get on your boat, the southern part of me will be waiting for a confrontation with the northern part. I'm prepared to shed blood. How do you move then?"

That's a difficult question.

We are prepared to fight with the southern people, of course. However, the current Demon King's army is so small that it cannot send enough troops when the front expands.

In some cases, only the southern people will fight.

So I can't promise anything.

It's a bit sloppy, but let's cheat without promise.

After thinking a lot, I answer.

"For the north, it's diplomacy. Military power flickers as a diplomacy card. That's where we demons are best."

Werewolf, vampire, giant, because there are a lot of people who are afraid of humans. You can imagine without permission and be scared without permission.

"Of course, if the north is motivated, the Demon King will not forgive.

Preparation and rehabilitation are difficult, costly and dangerous, but you can do it if you want to. I don't think I'll do it.

"The Demon Army ... No, the demons are asking you to live in a safe haven. We want to live without being defeated by humans, surrounded by warm meals, clean bedding, and friends who can forgive the heart. "

I continue, because Petre looks a little surprising.

"To do this, demons need to lay the foundation for human society. Fortunately, Lünheit has accepted demons. If a society can be found throughout southern Miraraldia, people and demons will be able to do so. I want to be able to live more abundantly.

Petore asks you to confirm.

"Let's double check as Rozzo, and we won't know anything about it if we go to war with the north."

"Don't look down. We're demons."

When I snapped my fingers, the werewolf transformed.

Lozzo soldiers are slightly upset.

I smile gently, with eight terrible werewolf behind me.

"I'm struggling every day to calm those who want to rampage. I have no chance to run to the battlefield."

In contrast to the frightened soldiers, Petore calms down and nods.

"I see, I'm willing to fight."

"Of course. However, no matter how much you sharpen your tusks and claws, that alone does not provide a place of rest. So we act with sincerity and reason and build trust with humans. Never betray allies. ''

As I concluded, the werewolf behind them returned to their original form.

All right, the results of the daily training are being demonstrated.

Petore stared at me, but nodded.

"It makes sense. It's inconsistent with the information I've gathered, and if I decline my proposal, Lozzo will be surrounded by the Demon Army's territory and I'll have to accept the alliance."

"Thanks. We would like to discuss and agree on the detailed conditions."

I say, Petore smiles.

"To be honest, I'm still worried about it.

Let's build a relationship of trust from now on.

The Demon King's army is useful.

After that, I go into consultation with Petore for detailed conditions.

The Lozzo side has only sought fishing and trade freedom, so I decided to guarantee it entirely.

Instead, they provide demonic settlements and military assistance in the event of an emergency.

"Lotso's population is nominally 5,000, but it's actually more than 20,000. There are about a thousand other spears, trained by harpoon fishermen but guards."

When this happens, we will have this spear squad dispatched. Because they are Javelin masters, they can also help protect the walls.

It is very reliable that three to four thousand civilians can be mobilized in a short period of time.

Other negotiations were finished successfully, so I decided to eat with Petre's invitation.

You shouldn't have to worry about poisoning now, but let's keep it in mind.

I was wary of thinking so, but when seafood pasta with plenty of olive oil and garlic came out, my reason was about to fly.

Large scallops, shrimp and squid are generously served, giving off a fascinating aroma of spices.

If you order such a thing in the previous life, you will get 2,000 yen per plate.

In addition, bouillabaisse-style dishes with shore fish and grilled sea bream-like fish with herbs are also available. Finally, it ’s steamed crab sake.

Can I have such luxury from daytime?

Petore laughs with a proud face.

"This is Lozzo's fisherman's meal. It's different from Belousa's country food.

"What is it?"

Petre and Girsh started arguing, but I liked both, so I decided to relieve them.

You can't eat it when you return to Lünheit.

I will eat five dishes with pasta alone.

Oh, but I also have to eat crabs.

Both Belouse and the werewolf have cooked brilliantly, but the pity is Parker. He with no skeleton has nothing to eat.

He enjoyed talking for a while, but eventually took his seat.

"Can I just see what the mermaids are doing?"

"Oh, yeah. I'll ask them to attend."

When I answer, Petore looks back.

"What is it? A mermaid?"

It is a serious expression.

What is a new trouble?

I was anxious for a moment, but when I explained the situation to Petore, he was very pleased.

"How did you save the mermaids! For my Fikarce family, or for Lozzo, mermaids are guardians!"

seriously.

"When the first generation landed here, they told me they had help from a mermaid. They told me a safe route and she sang to protect them from the beasts."

Petore has a smiling face.

"I've been helped by a mermaid when I was young."

"Are you true?

Ghersh looks at the crab with his eyes smelling humorous, but Petore stretches his chest to boast.

"It's just a color guy as you see me."

Even if it's said to be what you see ... Well, it seems possible that he was certainly handsome when he was young.

Girsh murmurs.

"Well, I wasn't worried that a mermaid was attacking the ship ..."

As soon as Petre turned around, he began to violently smash Gash's head.

"That's natural! I'm a bonker! If the mermaid is dangerous, I'll tell you when it's a kid!"

"Don't hurt! Tell me that you were safe if you were!"

"Isn't asking yourself if you're safe without taking the word of others!"

"Then you should be on guard!"

"Gudaguda!"

It has begun again.
