Chapter 25

Then for a little while, I also was able to spend some days at leisure.Trade started with the demon army occupied city, Bernhainen, and Ryun Height became lively day by day.Just that, the peddlers come from that side are all vampires, but if they don’t cause any trouble here then it can be overlooked.

The palace guards also resumed their duties, and they are diligently protecting the order in street corners and main street.They still make grim faces while looking at us, but once in awhile one can see that they are chatting with the werewolf squads.

On one such day, finally the thing I am waiting for has arrived.“I have put you through the trouble of this long journey.”I was greeting the group arrived at the north gate.It’s a ryujin squad. A lot of water proof barrels were stacked on the cart.

The leader-like ryujin stepped forward, and saluted me.“I, Dragon Flame Mechanic Division Technical Officer, Kurtz, arrived after being transferred from the first division. Total twenty four members, no changes.”“Roger that.”I also returned the salute.Looking at his blue scales, I suddenly realized.“Perhaps, Kurtz-dono is a relative of Bartz-dono?”“Yes. Bartz is my younger brother. To have such an excellent younger brother makes me very proud.”Since the names are similar, I thought of the possibility, and it’s really likewise.“Since my younger brother had always praised Vaito-dono, I was looking forward to meet you.”\n

Kurtz has not received any titles from the demon king, hence he is treated as any other soldier.He looks like an intellectual worker, I guess it’s understandable.If he fights with Dogg from the shishioni troops, then he would be flattened in one punch.But, when I conversed with Kurtz, I realized that he is an excellent person. If this is the case, he might be highly valued by the demon king.Perhaps, he is equal to me, possibly even higher.

Technical officer Kurtz, while drinking the treasured green tea in my office, explained about the gunpowder the demon army had produced.“If ‘Dragon’s breath’ is used as a weapon, the effect is tremendous, but thinking about the time and the effort, it’s not reasonable to make use of it.”Well, I want to prepare a gun squad using that gunpowder… I wanted to say that but if I say too much then it would look suspicious again. Perhaps it may be under development, let me remain silent.“However, the mixing ratio I have independently developed, could create even more useful weapons.”Oh, is there a gun too? Is it a matchlock?

When I leaned forward, technical officer Kurtz brought out a tiny ball. It’s different from what I expected, but it seems like a bomb.“This is the newly developed ‘Dragon Ball’”“I see.”“Metal is used.”It’s a type which kills using splinters. Terrifying.“Red, Blue, Yellow, Green…”“Wait, what’s the story?”Thereupon, laughing proudly, he said.“If you burn the metal, Various coloured flame can be produced. With this, we can produce multicolored explosion.” \nThe new weapon of the Damon Army was just fireworks.

I have not been disappointed like this before, but I understood that Kurtz is an excellent technical officer.Besides if you think about it, there may be a way to use this fireworks.“If it is launched, orders and reports can be delivered in a wide area.”Kurtz was surprised.“I agree. How do you know?”“These personnel and equipment were sent by the Demon King himself, so I thought that there would be a way to use them. It is all but a guess.”

The dog whistles can get through to only inujin and werewolves, but if it’s the signal balls, the ryujins or humans can also be conveyed. It’s faster than the signal fire and can also be used at night.Alright, let me receive it gratefully.“It’s a wonderful invention, Kurtz-dono. As expected of the elder brother of Bartz-dono.”“It’s an honour. … but, to see through this weapon in just a glance, you sure are a famous commander as per the rumors.”I am not really a famous commander, but I am happy to hear compliments.

“By the way Vaito-dono, there were armored humans in front of the castle gates.”Kurtz is saying about the palace guards. I guess it is unusual.“They are the Mirarudia alliance army’s palace guards stationed in Ryun Height.”“What!?”I heard a ryujin shouting in a loud voice for the first time.“What, what. Won’t it make me surprised.”“So,sorry to be rude. But aren’t they the enemies!?” \nThis person is also really a handful.
