After that, for a while I was busy governing Ryun Height.
I want to go to the Demon King for reporting and consultation, but I feel awkward to ask Teacher, who is still not in her normal condition. I want to let her rest a little bit more.
Instead, making use of Technical Officer Kurtzs subordinate as a communication officer, only the written report has been sent.
Lunchti at the office.
I was saved because Kurtz-dono was here. Had it been the Werewolf troops or the Inujin troops, they would not be able to explain the contents of the report properly if questioned.
To Technical Officer Kurtz, with whom I completely got along, I was offering skewers I bought at the food cart. As always, the sweet sauce is very delicious.
I personally like the taste of the food carts here. I hope it suits your taste.
It is very delicious.
Like a carnivorous species, Technical Officer Kurtz also eats a lot.
This sweet sauce, I think it will go quite good with grasshopper rice also.
.thats right
They really love bugs, the Ryujin race.
After eating a few pieces of roasted chicken skewer, Kurtz drank my treasured green tea and earnestly said.
Being a trade city, the food culture here is rich. What is this flavoring?
This is distilled soya bean flavored liquid with salty-sweet seasoning.
I am honestly happy that the fans of soy sauce flavor increased in another world.
But as I thought, the taste is sublily a little different.
Kurtz nodding hmm, hmm, replies.
Maybe his Majesty the Demon King might also like this flavour. Cant you please tell about the food cart retailer? For so compensation ask him to turn it over.
(TN: The author seems to be talking about the compensation for sweet sauce recipe. Another possible translation can be: Let us have him sell it for so compensation.)
Technical Officer Kurtz really was a close associate of the Demon King.
If he knows about the Demon Kings palate , then he must be a considerably close associate.
I have to be careful about my remarks..
This non-fernted tea also is fragrant, and very interesting. I would also like to present this to his Majesty the Demon King. Is that fine?
Ah, its good if he likes it.
Honestly it hurts a little to send it away, but not being too much stingy, let present this tea caddy.
Well, I still have three hidden.
Taking a breath of relief, Kurtz looks at the drifting steam of the tea inside the office room.
Thats right, I have already picked samples of soil from various places of Ryun Height and Tuban. Sending those to Glenstadt, I have plans to analyse the composition.
You can do that?
Its a traditional technique like the Technical Officers with a strong palate decide the taste, but maybe we will find so valuable mineral source.
Their approach is scientific, but the technology has not caught up yet.
After that, Kurtz and I sent off the Ryujin Technical Officers carrying the written report.
Please carefully deliver that sweet sauce and green tea to the Demon King.
Glory to the Japanese food.
anwhile, Priest Yuhito has recovered and is doing well.
However, since the ti, he was pilloried, was longer, it seems his legs and loins have weakened. He beca unable to walk without a stick.
I sotis go and visit him in the breaks between official work, but because of the bitter experiences his heart has beco weak.
Is it fine for a sinner like to be alive.. I am a old man who let a lot of my fellow brethren die, and brought only misfortunes.
Because Priest Yuhito suddenly said such a thing, I thought a little.
Even in this world where magic exists, the dead humans can never be resurrected.
If I request Teacher, she can revive any number of them, but the ones revived are just the dolls of the dead without mories or wills. Those would not be the person when they were alive.
If one uses reincarnation magic, theoretically one can reincarnate after death, but since they lose their mories, the effectiveness is not verified. There is not much aning.
However much may one regret, the dead wont co back.
Thats why after a long period of thinking, I could only say this much.
Priest Yuhito staring at , nodded a little.
Equal number of lives, is it..
If you are not satisfied with four hundred, its fine save eight hundred or four thousand. The sin will never disappear, but its better than dying without even saving anyone.
When I stood up, Priest Yuhito bowed.
Recovering soon, I want you to return to the coordination of the Radiant Church. They are anxious.
With those words, I left the hospital.
Was it a little cold.
Well, thats fine.
Then, Priest Yuhito returned to the temples job, but it seems his tone has changed with respect to before.
Before he was a totalitarian who boasted of intense peer pressure, but yesterdays sermon was like this.
I was naive. The people with the sa sense of values, and the sa morals cooperating doesnt exceed the wisdom of humans. The wisdom of God is, sothing more profound. Because the sun shines equally above people with different sense of values, different morals also
Though I dont clearly get it, it seems Priest Yuhito has called for the coexistence with the demons and the heretics.
I dont know about the change of ntal state, but due to that the Radiant Church believers of Ryun Height beca completely quiet.
Because wherever they go, they are received kindly, so even the violent Werewolves also are in a good mood recently.
Suddenly I realised, there were no forces left in Ryun Height who possess hostility towards the Demon army.
The palace guards and Radiant Church also are cooperating currently.
And this would bring about a new developnt.
Vaito-dono. I have a little consultation to do, but can I have a little ti?
Then Airia unusually hesitated, but then said with resolution.
I am thinking of making Ryun Height independent from Mirarudia.
What?
I stood up without thinking, looked at her face intently.
Are you sane?
We, the Demon army, have completely occupied Ryun Height.
To the last, we are only occupying it, and Ryun Height still is a mber of Mirarudia alliance. In short, its the hostage of the Demon army, and we the Demon army are like terrorist group who has illegally occupied this territory.
Unfortunately, we the Demon army are neither a regular army nor a country of humans.
Since the Demon army has occupied the neighboring territories, the hope of Ryun Height being freed lies only with the Mirarudia Alliance main forces.
But if Ryun Height becos independent from Mirarudia, then the rescue will not co anymore.
On the contrary, it would end up making enemy of all the cities in Mirarudia.
When I was wondering what to answer, Airia continued.
The independence and at the sa ti, I want Ryun Height to formally enter into an alliance with the Demon army.
No, wait wait..
I am thankful for your suggestion, but I cant help but worry about Airia.
However much of a Viceroy you maybe, can such a decision be made at your discretion alone? Isnt it better to think it over calmly?
In that case, its alright.
Airia took out a bunch of letter from her pocket.
All the Trade Associations, Radiant Church, Stillmoon shrine, Ryun Height Palace Guards. And all the organizations other than those, are all officially in agreent with the Ryun Height Independence.
Seriously!
I was surprised with the developnt, but thinking over it after I cald down, I consented.
Currently, the possibility for the Mirarudia Alliance to free Ryun Height is exceedingly low.
In that case, the sooner they change the sides with the Demon army the better it is.
Currently I am ruling Ryun Height, but if the commander changes after I die, the objective of governance would also change.
But, as an independent city-state, if they form an alliance with Demon army, Ryun Height would be peaceful in future.
Having said that its very bold.
You thought properly about such a gamble
When I said being astonished, Airia put the bunch of letters on the table.
Ryun Height is a trade city, a town of rchants. After weighing the risks and rewards, at the end I would make a decision for gains.
The result of that is this absurd proposal, is it
Thereupon Airia showed a troubled smile.
You are the one who made everyone to think like that, Vaito-dono
Am I?
Looking at your capture policy, everyone decided that the Demon army can be trusted. If Vaito-dono were to beco the diator, we can certainly get along well with the Demon army.
I agree with this logically, but I still have so hesitations over the decision.
Then Airia, with a low voice, whispered softly in my ears.
As the first city-state to ally with the Demon army, please let us drink the sweet juices forever?
Oh, is it like that.
Quite the villain, she is.
In that case, I also, as the Vice commander of Demon army third division, do what should be done.
The independence and the alliance are the prior investnt towards the Demon army, isnt it. Got it. Considering it as my responsibility, I will report it to the Demon King-sama.
When I extended my hand, Airia grabbed it back.
It was a refreshing smile.
