Is it you who wants to hear what Remilia-sama has to tell?
I see, you want to write a book about the truth of her life. It’s true, everything that’s out there now is a mixture of fiction. It would be necessary to preserve the correct history, and it’s a tumultuous, interesting, and enjoyable story with a happy ending for everyone, the whole world will want to read it.
I can tell you from the beginning that I’ve been in charge of this trade city since it was once a village.
The first ti I t her was when I was still the manager of a grimoire store in Royal Capital. I couldn’t get a business license, and I couldn’t get caught, so I had to pick and choose my custors and do it in secret. I’m supposed to have a trick to find even a store without the introduction of those few regulars, but Remilia-sama knocked on the door without getting lost, and sohow she knew the code.
I was scared of the creepy lady who appeared out of nowhere, and Remilia-sama said to …『I’ve been accused of a cri I didn’t commit and banished. I want to develop the land where I was exiled to and get back at them, so please help .』
Nhn? What was that? Ahh, word on the street is that Remilia-sama… built a village to coexist with the demon tribe in order to build a force against that devil-infested woman.
At the ti, I didn’t trust humans at all. I hid the fact that I was a demon even from my few guests, but sohow they knew, and I was wary of them to the utmost.
So, if soone had said,『I heard a sign from God and I need your help to save the world,』I wouldn’t have believed them, so I guess they faked a deal.
.
No, don’t get mad at . I can’t help it, I t Remilia-sama for the first ti that day.
Now, I fully understand that it was just a plausible reason to get us demons to cooperate… Remilia-sama had never thought of taking revenge on them, even though she had suffered so much. I don’t know which god it is, but I was running around trying my best to save the world according to the mission I was given, and as a result, the other side was just gaping at on its own.
…Remilia-sama never thought of doing that, you know.
Erm… Yes, yes, did I tell you about the part where she started the village?
I was the first villager, but it was hard because I was almost the only kid in the village. No wonder, because I only speak to those who say,「I’d rather seriously be in the slums than stay in here.」
When you’re old enough to look like an adult, you can make a reasonable living as an adventurer, but as a kid, you can’t do that. Those like who were instructed by the Demon Kingdom were able to take care of food and life, but it was far from a happy life. The sales of the store were low because we had to operate in hiding.
But Angel-sama said,「If it’s the sa as now, we can stay together with the woman who sohow knows the situation of the Demon Tribe without worrying about being seen, and we can obtain a family register and residence by regular ans and do business without hiding,」and said he would take a chance on this story.
…I’ve said it many tis, but at that ti, we didn’t know anyone for Remilia-sama at all.
We were suspicious at first, but we were going to find out how she knew we were demons, what she was going to do with that knowledge, and whether she was going to misuse it, as well as to monitor her.
Oh, yes, the doubt disappeared so quickly. So quickly that we were ashad of ourselves for having doubts.
Of course there are people who are kind to others out of hypocrisy, but Remilia’s appearance was not an act. She is a real good person. I saw it more clearly than anyone else, because I was there.
Remilia-sama was sent to this place as an outcast, even though she had almost no money at her disposal. She built us a house to bring us here because this is an abandoned village with nothing left but ramshackle houses that are uninhabitable.
At first, we couldn’t harvest right out of the fields, so that person provided us with food and living supplies. All with the money she earned as an adventurer.
We had no proper family register and had to live in the shadows, so we wouldn’t have thought it unfair for her to be more condescending just to give us a place to stay.
She have no obligation to do so, but she earned money for the village through her adventurer business, where her life is in danger. I pretended that it was an investnt, but no one believed . She can’t be that desperate with her investnts and nurse a stranger’s dirty little kid all night long. Everyone was imdiately grateful to Remilia-sama and brightened up to invite the others to join them.
In the beginning… there was a watchman assigned by the Royal Family. But after seeing that person who was sincerely devoted to the village, they gradually ca to their senses. I guess the governnt had told her about the events leading up to her banishnt, but as she saw Remilia spending ti in the village and helping people at her clients’ request, they began to wonder『if this person had really done such a thing,』even if they didn’t say it out loud.
By that ti, they’ve stopped following Remilia-sama’s migrations. They only heard the na of the destination dungeon, checked the request she received from the Adventurers’ Guild and the materials she sold, and that was it.
Of course, they did that because they didn’t suspect Remilia-sama anymore, but in fact, I don’t think they could follow Remilia-sama into the dungeon she was going to anymore.
Yeah, of course there were plenty of ways to monitor the depths of the dungeon. Or bring in more skilled n from the military. The reason they didn’t do that… is because the people who were sent here to monitor the place also had a good understanding of Remilia-sama. They were set up at that ti.
It was around that ti, wasn’t it, that this place gradually beca famous as a source of high-quality fertilizer.
Up until now, we demons have been making magic potions and magical tools that cost a little bit of money and selling them secretly all over the place. We do it under the radar, so we can’t make very many of them, and we can’t make that many in the first place.
Considering the catalyst used for the transporter, it was unprofitable to produce anything other than high-quality magic potions and magical tools made by the demon tribe, so we had no choice. Up until now, the Demon Lord and his entourage have considered a variety of products and settled on that.
With how little magical power… I was only able to make enough to be sent out of the magical lands, and it competed with products that people could make here… Well, I still worked hard to earn my living.
It’s our duty, having escaped from the harshness of the Demon Continent. In a land of miasma, it is difficult to even make a decent al.
Even though we live far away from each other, the Demon Tribe has been helping each other like that.
Remilia-sama is amazing, she has access to a large area of land and a lot of demons skilled in magic, and from there, she ca up with a lot of ideas for things to sell and quickly started her business.
I heard that making fertilizer is essentially hard work, mixing all kinds of soil, stirring it up over ti and turning it over from the bottom. Even if we can’t fight, if we were demons, we could stir up the soil to promote ferntation… even kids can use that kind of magic.
Remilia-sama was a genius at creating unique products that took advantage of such「strengths.」She’s a top-notch wizard, and that’s aweso.
Other products include noble rot wine made by shortening the ti it takes to ripen, cheese, and demon silk that has a better feel than existing cloth made by multiplying demon seeds. She also developed parchnt paper, incorporating processing techniques that the demons had, to increase the power of the magic circle that was painted on it.
For the secret story of this developnt, please ask Misery-sama, the Demon King’s sister, because I don’t know the details.
What’s amazing is that she made all of these inventions on the side while traveling around as an adventurer and helping people in various ways.
And sohow she was even running the village.
Oh, by this ti, the number of non-magic settlers had increased considerably. However, most of them are orphans or dying people that Remilia-sama picks up here and there and brings them back ho. Whenever she had a little money to spare, she would imdiately pick up kids and bring them ho.
She’s a real softy, even after all she’s been through… A real softy who can’t stop being nice to people.
She’d even perfected a transfer device that she discovered in the ruins of an ancient civilization. Even if there was a divine revelation, it doesn’t seem that they were taught everything from scratch, and I guess it was possible because Remilia-sama was a genius.
I heard that the whole world would have been swallowed up by the miasma and beco like the Demon Kingdom if nothing was done about it. If that had happened, people would have perished. She’s a real savior.
I’m sure it will be talked about for a long ti to co, and not just in this day and age.
I may be the chief of the first village created by the hero of salvation, and my na may remain on the village. Hahaha.
「I’ve really beco a distant person. I can’t believe you’re going to be the queen of His Majesty the Demon King.」
So said Thorn, the city council president of this trade city, smiling just a little sadly. Fangs could be seen from the corners of his mouth. He said in his introduction that this is the only difference between him and the people he indicates are demons. He could certainly have lived a quiet life if he had not been deeply involved in society.
The prejudice against demons is almost gone now, and there are many people with horns, wings and tails within this city. Many demons have married humans, and this has been passed down to the demon kingdom as a happy event.
「Are you perhaps…」
「Nhn, what’s wrong?」
About Mama… No, he liked Remilia-sama, I was about to ask him, and I closed my mouth.
「After the legendary soirée, your main business was the lordship of this city for a while. May I ask what policies were implented at that ti and what the residents had to say at that ti?」
「Ohh! That’s fine, wait a minute, I have a logbook from back then. Let’s see, the dates are…」
It’s not a good idea to talk about such a private subject. Even though I am using a pen na to cover the story that I am just an aspiring writer.
There is a reason why I am sneaking around like this. If it were known that I was about to publish a book on the achievents and life of「Remilia, Saint Of Salvation」as a historical fact, I would have been stopped by the embarrassed person herself. Papa said it would be fine, and Sofia-san is cooperating fully. Brother is also helping look up foreign newspaper articles from that ti.
When I get to the point where I can publish the book, I plan to ask Mama for permission one last ti. If she ask and Brother, we can definitely go for it, and then we can release it before she say,「I’m still embarrassed when I think about it.」
She kind of don’t like it. Of course, Brother, Papa, Sofia-san and Uncle Klimt agree with .
The books that are currently available and the plays that are being perford on their own don’t know a thing about Mama.
Because of who wrote it, I couldn’t tolerate people thinking that what Mama did was half made up.
I need to let them know that Mama was more amazing and the real one was nicer!
In this way, real voices are steadily being gathered to tell the story of that ti. We have also received permission to record the audio, so these will be very valuable historical docunts, including the book we compiled.
I quicken the unshaded glasses I wear as a disguise, and dig in to hear the interesting story. I love the story of Mama as a trade city lord… and I realized once again how wonderful Mama is, the one I love most in the world.
