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 Kurtzâs subordinate as a communication officer, only the written report has been sent.
Lunchtime at the office.âI 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.âTo 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.âI personally like the taste of the food carts here. I hope it suits your taste.ââIt is very delicious.âLike a carnivorous species, Technical Officer Kurtz also eats a lot.âThis sweet sauce, I think it will go quite good with grasshopper rice also.âââŠ.thatâs rightâThey really love bugs, the Ryujin race.
After eating a few pieces of roasted chicken skewer, Kurtz drank my treasured green tea and earnestly said.âBeing a trade city, the food culture here is rich. What is this flavoring?ââThis is distilled soya bean flavored liquid with salty-sweet seasoning.âI am honestly happy that the fans of soy sauce flavor increased in another world.But as I thought, the taste is sublimely a little different.
Kurtz nodding hmm, hmm, replies.âMaybe his Majesty the Demon King might also like this flavour. Canât you please tell me about the food cart retailer? For some compensation ask him to turn it over.â(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 some compensation.)Technical Officer Kurtz really was a close associate of the Demon King.If he knows about the Demon Kingâs palate , then he must be a considerably close associate.I have to be careful about my remarksâŠ..\n
âThis non-fermented tea also is fragrant, and very interesting. I would also like to present this to his Majesty the Demon King. Is that fine?ââAh, itâs good if he likes it.âHonestly it hurts a little to send it away, but not being too much stingy, let me 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.âThatâs 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.ââYou can do that?ââItâs a traditional technique like the Technical Officers with a strong palate decide the taste, but⊠maybe we will find some valuable mineral source.âTheir 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.
Meanwhile, Priest Yuhito has recovered and is doing well.However, since the time, he was pilloried, was longer, it seems his legs and loins have weakened. He became unable to walk without a stick.I sometimes go and visit him in the breaks between official work, but because of the bitter experiences his heart has become weak.
âIs it fine for a sinner like me to be aliveâŠ.. I am a old man who let a lot of my fellow brethren die, and brought only misfortunes.âBecause 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 memories 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 memories, the effectiveness is not verified. There is not much meaning.However much may one regret, the dead wonât come back.
Thatâs why after a long period of thinking, I could only say this much. \nâCertainly you and I have killed four hundred of the Tuban soldiers.âMine was as military service and his was a criminal act, but well I wonât say it.âI am not regretting that, but if you are regretting about it, then you just have to save that many lives.âThis is the way of the Demon army.Itâs fine to repent for the failure with an achievement of an equal merit.
Priest Yuhito staring at me, nodded a little.âEqual number of lives, is it..ââIf you are not satisfied with four hundred, itâs fine save eight hundred or four thousand. The sin will never disappear, but itâs better than dying without even saving anyone.âWhen I stood up, Priest Yuhito bowed.âRecovering soon, I want you to return to the coordination of the Radiant Church. They are anxious.âWith those words, I left the hospital.Was it a little cold.Well, thatâs fine.
Then, Priest Yuhito returned to the templeâs job, but it seems his tone has changed with respect to before.Before he was a totalitarian who boasted of intense peer pressure, but yesterdayâs sermon was like this.âI was naive. The people with the same sense of values, and the same morals cooperating doesnât exceed the wisdom of humans. The wisdom of God is, something more profound. Because the sun shines equally above people with different sense of values, different morals also âŠâ
Though I donât clearly get it, it seems Priest Yuhito has called for the coexistence with the demons and the heretics.I donât know about the change of mental state, but due to that the Radiant Church believers of Ryun Height became 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 development.
âVaito-dono. I have a little consultation to do, but can I have a little time?â \nIt was a refreshing smile.
