Episode 294

A full-fledged summer is about to come to Miraraldia.

bored.

I look dimly out of the window.

"That, Mr. Weid? Are you done with the documents?"

I showed a pile of papers as the kite tilted her head.

"It's all over. There's little to do."

"Everyone is excellent."

"Totally"

The members of the council are a bunch of savvy singers who are skilled in administration, the soldiers of the Demon Army slam up honestly, and the technicians are enthusiastic and honest.

"I hope Ason's treasure also has a vault in the old town."

Skeleton soldiers and the werewolf squad are always on guard, so there is little fear of being stolen. Huminos and the Tamonin audience are also on guard.

"What is your teacher?"

"You are making a map of the dangerous monsters that inhabit the Miraludia. You said you would like to use it in your eradication and protection planning."

"That's true ..."

Since the teacher is a scholar, it means trying to do something that can contribute as a scholar.

I skim through the additional documents and sign off because everything was ok. These days, it's almost perfect before it comes to my place.

"I've time"

"Mr. Weid, paperwork is so fast. Where did you learn it?"

It was a previous life.

I swallow the word and make me smile.

"In the training period, I was dealing with a huge amount of books.

"No, I'm that."

"Oh, maybe, the Senate's magic school ..."

He seems to have been in a training era quite different from me.

Well, it's almost noon.

When I got up, I took off my jacket. It's already summer, but I can't look too rough. Because it's the Deputy Demon Lord. He is a middle boss.

"Kite, let's have lunch. We have a joint meeting of religious leaders in the afternoon at the Temple of Huiyang, so we want to finish it by that time. Buy it at a nearby stall and eat here."

"Is that okay? I like eating outside, right?"

"Recently, no matter where I go, citizens look rare."

It's like an entertainer.

There are security issues, and the store will be in trouble, so I will not go too often.

And I and the kite came to a skewered stall on the main street.

Soon after occupying Lünheit, the shop was discovered by the smell of soy sauce. Chicken and river fish are savoryly baked with sweet soy sauce sauce.

Recently, pigs and sheep have also been baked, and were known as popular stores.

"Weid likes that black seasoning, right?"

"A nice scent?"

"Well sure"

Just in line for lunch, I lined up at the end.

Southerners are not used to the procession very much. You need to be careful because if you are careless, you may have two lines.

But the moment we lined up, everyone there was looking back, like, "Eh !?"

I wonder what we did.

But before I tilt my head, the line splits right and left. It's like a prophet breaking the sea.

"Oh, Mr. Weid !? Please go ahead."

"Weid-sama, are you busy with your work? I don't have much time to line up."

The citizens whisper.

Instead of being busy, I've been having trouble recently.

And the stall's father beckoned me with a smile.

"Weid-sama, Weid-sama! I've just baked it now!"

"What does it mean?"

As I approach, the shopkeeper responds, stacking a bunch of sheep peaches and pork belly skewers.

"We have become a reputation thanks to Mr. Weid's favor, and we are very prosperous! This is a thank you, please!"

"No, I pay ..."

"It's okay next! I'm my treat today!"

troubled.

And I'm not very happy with this special treatment.

I just want to buy them normally.

After that, I managed to pay for the end of the interrogation, but I came home with enough skewers for a banquet.

"I was purely kind and I should get it."

Kite says, I shake my head.

"That's not the case. It is not good for your Majesty's deputy to make private borrowings to citizens. It will be a hotbed of corruption."

"Perhaps no fool thinks he can buy Mr. Weid through bribes ..."

Still not good.

Recently, many things like this.

Apparently, at the present Lünheit, I feel the air of worshiping me personally.

When he talks to Priest Juch after the meeting, he smiles and nods.

"That's unavoidable. Veit devoted himself to the development and security of Lünheit and brought great benefits. It is only natural that people appreciate and respect."

"When I was told by Yucht, I felt strange ..."

At least once you were seriously hostile, we.

"But I also felt that Mr. Weid would be uncomfortable."

"Yeah, honestly, it's hard to do when I'm lifted to this point. Why have I been away for a while now?"

"I guess the influence of Lord Black Wolf's play is not too small. I've watched that play many times with my grandchildren, but it's enough to increase my favor on Veit."

That one.

I mean, you play theater with your grandchildren, Archbishop Jucht.

Summarizing what I heard from Archpriest Jucht, it seems that while I was away, only the virtual image of "A Deputy Deputy of the Demon King, Vite" had expanded.

It's all due to Forne. That fucking Okama.

Archpriest Juhit looks out of the temple window and laughs happily.

"However, to me and others, it is not possible to express half of the value of Mr. Weid in such a play.

"Juhit, please stop the bad joke."

"Not a joke. Your true value is neither fangs nor magic."

Priest Yucht keeps calm, stroking his beard.

"You have been a conqueror, never violent, and have no self-interest. You will not use any power or force for yourself."

"Of course?"

Then Priest Jucht narrowed his eyes and became more and more gentle.

"Well, it's only natural, but let's see how many people can do that."

"Yes ..."

Bribery is not wrong in Milaldia. Some degree of convenience is allowed as a matter of degree. This is because it is difficult to distinguish rewards and donations from bribes.

I'm a demonic, so I don't know about human customs, so I refuse all that.

I don't want to make useless debt. Whenever I make it, I make a mistake.

I know best that I'm that kind of person.

Priest Jucht also said:

"Gold and silver, honor, status, power. You are not interested in anything. You just work instinctively. You work with a sense of duty and a mission to others.

"I haven't thought much about it, but you may be right."

I was desperate anyway because I couldn't live without the security of the demons.

I wanted an everyday life that would not scare me from hunger, illness, and enemy attacks.

If possible, I wanted a standard of living that was a little closer to the past. That's it.

"Veit. You're watching everyone like that. People aren't so stupid."

"I see ... yes."

I don't want to be worshiped or treated in a weird way, but I'm very happy to have that said. I can do my best because I can recognize my efforts.

But after all I am not convinced that I can lift up to this point.

I'm not great.

The leadership of the Demon King's army, the master's excellent leadership, and the power of a werewolf that I was born with.

And everything, from your boss to your colleagues, subordinates, or enemies, was in an ideal environment.

All are given by others.

I was just riding on that luck.

Even if someone other than me was reincarnated as the "Wolf of the Werewolf", it was decided that this was going to happen anyway.

Conversely, if I had been reincarnated as a Lynhite citizen, I would have done nothing.

So I never felt proud of myself.

However, this would not be understood by Archbishop Jucht.

"Thank you, Yucht. I'm a happy person just to be able to talk to you."

Priest Yucht stared at my face, but soon sighed small.

"I didn't seem to have helped much ... Your anguish seems to be somewhere far away."

I'm angry. Priest Yucht is aware of something.

Indeed, the priest who unites all the Huiyangs in southern Miraludia is a terrifying insight.

"... I'll talk about that again someday."

Someday.

On the way back to the palace house, I see the people waiting for the performance of the Lord of the Black Wolf. Good people.

It will be absolutely troublesome when approaching there. I quickly changed the way and headed to the backstreet.

Why am I feeling so cramped on the home ground?

"Oh, it's Koku-kyo!"

"It's real !?

"Thank you! Weid, please!

The children playing behind the alley stop playing and come aside.

"If you change here, everyone will be surprised, so next time."

As I waved with a smile on the children's voice, I was wondering where I would go back quietly.
