Maritime city Bernese.

A town that flourishes in spice trade with southern island cities. So, if you solve some difficulties, you will be treated as a hero of this city.

Receive hospitality from the entire city. The party is held every day and he becomes the guest of honor, but cannot enjoy himself forever.

Says Marco Polo, the city's influential person, and tells him to leave. Once shaking hands with a hero who once crossed the Eurasian continent in another world.

"I want a talented man like you to be with you on behalf of the city council."

Marco says so, but Eve in a maid suit answers instead of me.

"It doesn't come true, Marco-sama. Your master's gem is the only one in this world. The throne of Ashtaroth Castle, which your master controls, is where your body fits."

I say it resolutely. Marko knows I will never stay in this city, no matter how much he says. No more stopping.

However, only Marco's apprentice, Ryoma Sakamoto's daughter, Ryoma, will try to stop me forever.

"Tomorrow a typhoon will come" "The day after tomorrow will be bad for feng shui" "The day after tomorrow will be my birthday"

I was always looking for a reason to keep me.

I can't go back to Ashtaroth's castle town forever if she really takes her word. Sorry, Ryoma promised to celebrate Ryoma's birthday next year or later. But I don't have any luggage. In addition, the talented maid packs up all the little luggage.

After drinking tea in the room given to Marco, wait for him to be ready to leave. He rode into the fine carriage that Bernese had prepared and said goodbye to them.

Ryoma Sakamoto, a half-elf merchant, looked down at the entrance of the city and waved his hand to the very end.

Looking at the figure, his subordinate Toshizo Hijikata says.

"Isn't this beauty like being seen off by such a beautiful woman?"

"Oh, I want to stay if there is no Demon King's work."

The first to react to the joke is Saint Jeanne. She said while inflating her cheeks

"The Demon King is the Demon King of everyone. You can't give up your work. There's a lot of people hanging in your back hair."

I wasn't joking anymore, so I got into the carriage.

The maritime city Bernese seemed to be a prosperous trade town, and the prepared carriages were luxurious. The exterior was suitable for use by royal nobles, and the interior was velvet.

The carriage we used to make it look like a child's toy. Moreover, the horses leading the carriage were all horses, and the speed of pulling the carriage was light. It looks like we can return a few days soon.

"If nothing happens, but"

Slightly ironic in his mouth, but the irony did not become reality. We arrive safely at Ashtaroth Castle.

When you enter the castle, people surround my carriage.

At first I thought it was riot, but it seems different. They seem happy to be able to buy food abundantly.

And they seem to know that I got the food.

He may have spread rumors because Kotaro Fuma is not visible on the way home. He said he was smart, but he didn't expect it to be so grand.

Kotaro Fuma, who came to the carriage all too soon, says:

"This is a modest one. Thanks to you, a farmer named Tyrone has offered me a storehouse. Not only that, I have been able to import food from Bernese at a reasonable price. It has fallen at a stretch and is now the most prosperous city in the surrounding cities. ''

"Yes, that was good."

From the bottom of my heart, Eve speaks to me.

"Then, Master, show your respect to the people. Open the carriage window and wave your hand. The people will be pleased."

"I'm ashamed. It's like a stage actor or a popular singer."

"It's more than that.

Eve opens the window. Then, the enthusiasm of the crowd gathers in.

"It's Ashtarot-sama. You can see her face!"

And began to make noise.

It's like a big star. Even though the carriage was about to be pushed down at the moment, when Toshizo Hijikata and Kotaro Fuma went out of the carriage and guarded, this was not the case.

I slowed down the carriage and kept waving at them from the window to respond to the people's appreciation.

The people followed "Ashtaroth, Ashtarot" around my carriage, but did not enter into the castle as expected.

"As expected, they are the people of Ashtaroth.

Was Eve's word.

"Well, I don't want to be able to come and go freely, but I'd like to open the castle for the citizens if I have the chance."

"It may be a good idea"

"In the past, the Japanese emperor opened the Imperial Palace at the beginning of the year and Setsubun, and invited the priestess of Kyoshi.

"I can show the forgiveness and mercy of the master to the people and at the same time promote the splendor of this castle."

"Well, this castle is expanded by the dwarf Godlieb, and is maintained by the maid chief, Eve. The feeling of abandoned castle when I was born is gone."

When the 72nd Demon King Ashtaroth was born, the castle was about to decay, but as a result of the steady collection and expansion of its materials, it now boasts a reputation for being embarrassing anywhere. It's like a European medieval castle.

He now boasts a defensive level of security for any major army. In addition, the appearance was excellent and it was at a level comparable to the surrounding demon kings and human nobles.

Looking back at the beginning of my birth, I felt like I was in a different world, and when I passed through the castle gate, I looked up at my castle again.

He received the hospitality of Saike pork forest in Bernese, but noticed that his castle was the most calm.

"I want to get into the office early and work."

Eve queried her mouth and said, "Master is addicted to work."

That's right, so I could not deny it.
