Itâs been two days since I went home.
Weâve decided to go to a human town but Iâm starting to get a bit worried. According to the pirates, it seems like the humans of this world are pretty religious. I remember Johnson from Clinochlore saying something like that.
Come to think of it, is that guy still going after Celesso-san I wonder? Well, I guess it doesnât really matter to me.
Anyway, since we went through all the trouble to get a ship, I thought of using that to go to the human port city thatâs closest to the island.The main reason for our trip is to sell Orca and his crew but while weâre there, Iâll try to recruit people to fill our overwhelming lack of technically skilled workers and medical personnel. We could also invite someone whoâs affiliated with the religious people.
At the corner of my mind, Iâm thinking of adding an establishment related to religion on our island to improve the humansâ motivation but will they actually come to an island that is known to be under the control of a Demon Lord? In the first place, I still have to worry about getting subjugated if the country or the church finds out my true identity.
I can just ignore that and make an appeal to the country by showing them that Iâm not a bad Demon Lord but even if that works, I still canât guarantee my safety when it comes to the church.
Because of that, I guess Iâll just try to invite people who donât seem to be too involved with their faith.
ăCaptain, can I have a moment?ăăYes. What is it?ă\n
ăSince you guys were previously pirates, did you have a god you believe in?ăăYes we do. Even small villages in the outskirts have at least a priest after all. As for us pirates, we worship the god of the seasâŚâŚăăSo? How many people are required to worship that god?ăăHmmăź, either an apprentice priest or a nun I guess. At least one of those twoăăThanks. Sorry if I interrupted your workă
After I said that, he went back to doing maintenance on Orcaâs ship that we acquired recently.
Does that mean that they have several gods? Well, itâs possible that they just made up one on their own though. Itâs the mystery of faith or so they say. If I ask, the person himself might appear in my dream again. I havenât seen them recently but if itâs important, theyâll probably do just that.
In the end, if it doesnât work, I can just temporarily give up on the idea of recruiting medical staff and religious workers.
ăMaou-san. The preparations are complete!ăăOkay. I understandă
After saying that, I looked up and saw that it was about 4 in the afternoon soâŚ
ăItâs a little early but letâs end it here for today. Just save up your energy for our departure tomorrow morningăăăăăRoger!ăăăă \năThanks for the hard workăăăăăYou too, bossăăăă1
Hmmăź these guys seem to have already grown accustomed to this kind of life. I guess Iâll be able to trust them with even more things from now on. Iâm going to sleep early so I guess Iâll go eat.

ăItâs been a while. I felt like calling you so here you are. Itâs been five years, hasnât it?ăăAhăź, yesă
I was woken up from my sleep. I looked around and although I havenât been here that often, I recognize it as the same empty white room that Iâve been in before.
ăI apologize for waking you up from your sleep. I would also like to congratulate your wives for the safe delivery of your childrenăăThank youă
I bowed my head down as I said that.
ăThe childhood friend and the young lady who fell for you at first sight⌠Isnât that like Bianăźă[TL: The author really likes this DQ reference doesnât he?]ăStop it! Donât say it or it will lead to war!ă
I hurriedly stopped god from finishing his sentence.
\nHe definitely seems like heâs running away, isnât he?
