Late afternoon.
The dry radish curry is ready.
Delicious.
However, considering the production ti and material cost, it seems difficult to sell them to the general public(regular custors).
「It will take ti and effort in cutting the ingredients but cooking itself is not difficult.」
Marcos looks disappointed.
「You can just make it a special pre-order curry. A plate of curry can be sold for 20 big copper coins or even a silver coin…you’ll profit with that, right?」
「If it’s twenty big copper coins…it should be. However, will it sell?」
「If it tastes like this, it will be fine. Be confident. However, if you are worried, you should limit the period of ti you are going to sell it. Make it scarce and na it sothing impactful.」
「Impactful na?」
「Yes. For example, naming it “Crown Prince Curry” would be more impactful than naming it “radish curry”.」
「Yes, that’s true. Thank you for your guidance!」
Dors was surprised with what Doraim said to Marcos.
「Doraim, how did you know the prices…No, how did you even beco familiar with business?」
「Fuh, father, I won’t stay a child forever.」
I know how.
He studied because he wanted to talk about the sales and prices of radish.
I guess the fact that he has grown so much in a short period of ti ans he is indeed a dragon.
Perhaps he knows more than I do.
I leave a lot of things to the hands of the civil servant girls and the Goroun Company.

Now that we’ve had curry, let’s get down to business.
First of all, the reason I was in Marla until this ti was not because I was helping to open the store but because reports ca in one after another from the demon king, Governor Ifrus, and Miyo.
I lost the timing to leave.
It was long past the opening ti and Marla’s custors were arriving one after another but we were in an isolated area for nobles and other important people so there was no problem.
The main issue, Count Pugyaru.
He’s still unconscious but he has already returned to the Pugyaru mansion in the royal capital.
He will be resting for the ti being.
Take care.
According to Beton, Prada, and Hers, Count Pugyaru was able to fight quite well.
I can’t imagine it given how he looks but from what I’ve heard, he doesn’t seem to be the type of person who would willingly put himself in a fight.
I wanted to ask him why did he accompanied Hers to fight but it would take ti before he could answer.
「Ah, that’s because it’s like a noble’s mission or rather, demon’s instinct.」
However, the demon king answered my question.
「The current nobles of the kingdom are mostly blood relatives of those who played an active role in the war against devils a long ti ago.」
The long ti ago he was talking about is 2000 years ago.
「There are many citizens who say that the nobles of the Demon King’s Kingdom exist to prevent the tyranny of devils. Count Pugyaru is one of them. Once you tell him the opponent is a devil, he will not hesitate to go to battle.」
Is that so?
「Yes. Well, there are so who don’t care. Also, Count Pugyaru can fight reasonably well in an individual battle. I had a chance to fight him once before I beca the demon king and I admire his fighting skills.」
Heh.
「Of course, I won.」
I don’t doubt that.
However, is it alright to just jump out to battle even though he was invited by a devil(Hers)?
「Of course, he knows that the devils today are mostly quiet. Perhaps she said that there was a dangerous devil when she called him.」
I see.

The second main issue is Beton-san’s punishnt.
The punishnt that the demon king will give Beton-san is labor.
I wondered what kind of labor it would be but, it seems like she will be a vendor in the bleachers at a baseball ga in Shashaato City.
……
Won’t she feel offended with just doing that kind of labor?
It’s okay?
Why?
「She’s been a regular vendor.」
Eh?
The Joro rchant Group allowed its mbers to earn individual funds for their stay in Shashaato City.
The rchant group would pay for lodging and food but if they want luxury items like alcohol and others, they are on their own.
Also, the cost of their food is minimal so it’s impossible for them to eat at Marla every al.
If they go to Village Five, they will surely visit ran street too.
It costs a lot of money to have fun in both Shashaato City and Village Five.
Because of that, their mbers work in various places.
And Beton-san has always been working as a vendor at baseball gas.
「For now, we decided to pay her half her regular wage. If it’s free, her willingness to work will decrease and that’s not a good thing. She’ll also be troubled in her daily life. Her deducted wage will be paid to Shashaato City.」
The demon king consulted with Governor Ifrus about until when her punishnt would end.
「If the frequency of baseball gas remains the sa, she will have to do it for the next five years.」
Five years.
Isn’t that too long?
「Well, it’s not like there’s a baseball ga every day. It is only held every five days so I think that’s a very reasonable period of ti.」
If you put it that way, I guess so.
As I agreed, Miyo joined in.
「However, if it’s only that, I think the punishnt is too lenient.」
It’s too lenient?
「Yeah, so I ca up with an additional punishnt.」
Miyo was carrying a vendor’s costu.
It has a pretty cute design……
「Vendor’s costu has been under consideration for so ti and this is a prototype from the clothing store we commissioned in Shashaato City. It wasn’t bad but so of the older people think this is too much which put an end to it. However, it would be a waste to just dispose of them!」
In other words, you want Beton-san to be the model as you sell it.
W-well, if that would satisfy the punisher, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Probably.

Main subject number 3. Gucci and Beton-san’s relationship.
I asked Prada, who had finished her business and returned to eat.
「They were fighting over a difference in policy.」
Policy?
「The dragons asked us to be their vassals and we were trying to decide to follow or oppose them.」
Ehto……
「Gucci-sama was the representative of those who were in favor of being their vassals and Beton was the representative of the opposition.」
H-heh.
「Since the vassalage proposal was made out of concern of the future of the whole devil race, Gucci-sama’s faction is on the right side.」
In other words, Gucci, along with those in favor, fights against Beton-san, along with those who oppose.
「Well, that’s not quite right.」
Eh?
「Gucci-sama and his n ford a group and beat up the opposing devils one by one.」
………
「Those who oppose are basically the type of people who don’t want to follow anyone or be told what to do so they’re not a group of people. I also thought it was the most rational thing to do.」
You are worthy of being called devils.
「However, Beton was tough and she and Gucci-sama’s group fought in a fierce battle…but I ca along to her side.」
……areh?
Aren’t you part of the group?
「At that ti, I didn’t really care whether we beca the dragon’s vassals or not. Beton was saying sothing a little extre so I backstabbed her. I thought I couldn’t just leave her be. Ah, and thanks to , Gucci-sama was not only able to stop Beton, he also sealed her. I think this is sothing that they should be grateful to for.」
W-well, you can discuss that matter among yourselves.
Hnn?
Doesn’t that an that Beton-san has more grudge against Prada than Gucci?
「I’m sure she does. However, the other party doesn’t seem to want revenge. I guess she has more important things in the present that weigh more than her old grudge. I envy her a little.」
Beton-san’s important thing?
The Joro rchant Group?
「I don’t know when she had escaped from her seal but she hasn’t regained her power yet. I also don’t know why she would use magic circles to get a part of her power back but…I guess she felt desperate.」
Is it possible for you to take care of it on her instead?
「Will I get paid? 」
You’re shrewd.
Well, I’ll make sure you will.
「Thank you, I’ll take care of it. 」
Thanks.

When I was gathering information, Gulf and Daga ca to Marla to be my guards.
No?
You ca to pick up?
I am already very late?
S-sorry.
Tier and the rest of the angels are on standby, ard to the teeth, waiting for my order?
Kuro and Yuki too?
Even the arachne Arako?
Ehto…
I look at the flying carpet.
It spreads out itself as if telling to ride it.
I don’t want to stand out though.
But I have no choice.
Loo, get Ann and the others.
Dors and Doraim, let’s go back to the village.
I said goodbye to the demon king and Governor Ifrus and returned to the village.
