The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

On the afternoon of his return from Suomi, in the great conference room of the main house of the Hou family, the eminent men of the Hou were gathered together for an inheritance meeting.

I'm sitting where Luke once sat, now.

Same as then, there was Satsuki next door.

The difference was that Luke wasn't here.

"That's the bottom line."

As a result, the venue was quiet when I elaborated on the events that were royal castles.

"I declare in advance that I intend to kill all the people who have tried to do this. To that end, we will attack the King's Capital first"

I slowly looked around at the twelve quiet clans.

"From now on, you will either admit me as the new head of the Howe family, or you will take your vote according to the rules. But before I do, I want you to say something."

If it's true, I've been trying to hurry things up slowly since I got the Count.

I got up from the chair.

"I'm not going to bow my head to you and be the leader. Perhaps some of them, I don't know if it was today or yesterday, would have talked to the widow next to me. That's what this guy likes to do."

When I say that, the satsuki sitting next to me looks at me with a goofy eye.

I guess I get angry.

I don't mind.

"I don't know what she said, but I'm not going to keep them in any way if I assume it's a favour or a promise to you.

It's all blank.

I'm the guy who put that Howe company here in only three years, with no financial assistance from anybody.

If here, without your hands raised, you could not be the head of the Howe family, one day you will surely accomplish your purpose.

So, I'm not going to bow my head to you and be the leader.

I'm going to be a leader with recognition.

If anyone is afraid that I may be the man who will return the favor with vengeance, don't worry.

I intend to follow myself and reward those who follow me accordingly.

They give me ten pieces of gold each month to pick up the Howe company's high wages, and there are a lot of people on top of that who make more money.

I reward whoever obeys me for what I have contributed.

I ask those who do nothing to give me nothing, and if they are giving me privilege, I ask them to give it back.

This is my basic philosophy.

The bottom line is, if you think I'm a winning horse, give me a ride.

If you're not, get down.

These are the times. If you don't raise your hand and leave the Howe asylum, that's fine.

Of course, it's difficult for people to assume that it's mutually inviolable or non-interferent.

Nothing is difficult to talk about. I think that's what makes war a business.

This country is going into turmoil without refusal, so it is not easy to tie you up with a whirlwind of peace.

That's the end of the story. Do thirty minutes of thinking.

Me and Satsuki are out of the room, so think about it. "

When I finished, I left the chair and signaled Satsuki with my eyes open.

Satsuki looked at me with incredible arrogant eyes, but he stood out of his chair and followed me.

I left the conference room as it was.

I waited in the hallway for thirty minutes, ignoring Satsuki when he said, "I'll hear you later."

Inside the big conference room, you can hear the pounding and talking.

It was a good impression that Gayagaya and the big argument had not been exchanged.

Since each is a representative of the interests of each house, the decision should not be discussed, but made on its own.

Thirty minutes later, I went back to the big conference room with Satsuki.

As he comes, he walks on the back of the crowd and sits in his original chair.

"Some people will want some more time to think about it, but let's take a vote. Mr. Satsuki, please."

I gave Satsuki instructions, as if nothing had happened to me.

"Okay, I'll take the vote. Those who recognize Yuri Howe as the new head of the Howe family, raise your hands."

When Satsuki said so, everyone's hands rose when he did.

Well, here's what happens.

There has been too much unhappiness over the last few days, so it's slightly uncomfortable, but it would be something like this.

I haven't given you enough material to hesitate to raise your hand.

"Now, Mr. Satsuki, hand this out one bundle at a time"

I took out the billa I had prepared.

Billa is fastened with a clip made of fifty wires at a time.

Mr. Satsuki, who finished the handout, circled around and came back.

"I made two thousand copies of the same thing yesterday night. I have deposited half a thousand pieces with eagle soldiers, and now I am sending them to Wang Capital. By now, this must have fallen apart over the king's capital."

When I said that, the clans didn't raise their voices, but they looked at each other in the seat with confusion.

"We're still letting them print it, so we're going to send eagle soldiers after them and sprinkle them in each general's city. I would like you to put this on the high bills of all your clans. without making any word for word changes. You can press the seal if you like."

The clans are turning peppers and billas.

Many people are new to seeing printed material.

No one here comes from a correctional institution other than Satsuki.

All of them, people who have lived far from that porn book world.

"That's it for today. Everybody, get ready to go back to your territory and get your troops up."

And then there was nothing to talk about, so when I said that, my hands softly rose out of the people.

I guess I mentioned that I have battlefield experience. It was an oddly eye-catching Osama.

"That was Lord Dimitri Daz. Allow to speak"

"My Lord Yuri, how do you expect the attack on the King's capital to be? If you don't have the heart count, you should fly the flag and attack now."

It was quite straightforward and a basic opinion.

I guess I'm worried about my abilities.

Well, you don't have a choice. Nineteen young men.

"Don't worry. Neither am I going to wait long. I also know very well that with the strength of the Howe army, we will not lose fighting against the Second Army."

"If so -"

I stood still with my hands stating that Dimitri had the momentum to lift his hips off the chair.

Dimitri keeps his mouth shut, without ignoring it.

Ray.

"I want to know the inside of Wang capital beforehand. Everyone here, it will take a few days to get the army ready. In the meantime, I'll find out what's going on in Wangdu. The strategy is to add to that. However, I will state it on top of each other but not for long. We're gonna be in there in a week."

Dimitri?

Dimitri Daz.

Speaking of which, the Daz family is next door to the Noza family.

"Right... the three families farthest from the royal realm, including yours, come to Karakumo as soon as the army is in place. If I have time to wait, I'll take care of the food at the main house"

If you don't make it, you'll lose your power, and if you leave me alone, it's pathetic.

"But Lord Dimitri, leave a thousand soldiers in your realm. It's a curtailment to the Nozas."

"… do you think the Nozas will go south"

I ask you with a serious face.

Well, if they pinch him, he'll lose his territory.

"Suppose you came, not for just a thousand people"

"There is seamia at your place. That's a small, but splendid fortified city. I'm sure the cage is ready."

"Of course."

"The Noza family probably won't come. It's my idea, but they don't have the advantage of attacking the hoe. But if you open the realm round, you might as well be a fire thief. To put a thousand soldiers in Seymour is like courtesy to the other side."

When I say that,

"... um, I'm satisfied"

Dimitri smiled and lowered her floating hips.

Looks like that's it.

"Is there anyone else? If you're not there, you're dismissed."

"You did well"

When it was all over, Satsuki told me when I walked into the office.

He seems a little angry.

"Yeah, well."

Exactly, it was a comfortable chair to sit in.

Luke should have always sat on this.

On the desk, it was as cluttered as I had been working until yesterday, on the desk was a piece of parchment on which to write, and in the trash bin there was a ho paper in which to try and write.

It's so unfortunate that I want to keep it like this, but then it'll be cleaned up and someday Luke's leftover incense will disappear, too.

"Yuri hasn't graduated from the cavalry yet... it was a dangerous place."

I don't have a proper candidate for conflict.

I'm a worried person.

"It's going to be a fierce battle. It's not good to have the impression that you're weak."

"Because..."

"A samurai is something that wants to keep up with the strong. It's not a good idea to ask here to take office."

If I had followed the strong one, I would have ridden the winning horse and been in a nasty position.

A knight's house is like that if we all follow the way it was.

Besides, it's not like when Luke did.

It was normal time then, but I'm going to lead the army to war soon.

"The Howe family is going to attack the King's Capital and crush all the witches. In some cases, there may be no longer a system such as a cavalry. It's a small problem, like the knight's chapter."

"... well, that may be so"

If it was Gowk's time, Satsuki wouldn't have moved like this.

However, Satsuki has been working for more than a decade, so to speak, since he became Luke's substitute.

After all, if you work for ten years, there will be a change of consciousness among the satsuki.

If Gowk's time had been a one-off help to his free wife, now he'd be working like an officer.

So I also have my own opinion. I try to act discretionarily and push.

Well, it was a little annoying, but I don't have to worry about betraying you, so it was cute.

Satsuki has other work to do than to have a military relationship.

"Than that, Mr. Satsuki. Could you please renovate my house in a hurry?"

"Huh? Home... about your parents"

"That's right. I've been thinking a lot about it, but Carol better not put it on a kara spider. It's easier to be on guard without people... and the noise is terrible here. It's not good for therapy."

There is a large hospital here where advanced medicine can be accessed, apart from talking about it, but that's not true.

The red cannolia has no antidote, so it's more important to have a relaxing environment.

It's a good distance from Karakumo, so you just have to let famous doctors go, and in a calm environment, it's more important to feed them something nourishing.

When you're here, you'll always try to meet this guy, and you'll never stop coming to explore how things are with Kosokoso.

Too many people are restless.

"Okay. We will supervise responsibly"

"Please don't give Carol's name and decide it's my order. I want to keep my place a secret."

"Okay."

"There is one room upstairs with a view. You can just renovate it there. Turn your bed into the finest and turn your carpet into new. Make the windows bigger."

"Yes, I'd like a carpenter in and out of here ASAP."

The carpenter in and out... well, don't you mind if it's not top secret?

Yeah.

"Well, I'll ask for it as soon as possible"

Satsuki left the room.

After work, I sigh.

When I read the paperwork on my desk out of hand, it was apparently an instruction on development for a city that went a little south of Karakumo.

I feel like Luke's vivid breath.

I felt something hot and boiling black seeping out of my chest.

It was something hard to describe, something that could be taken as anger or hatred.
