It was a little bit after the viceroy of Shaldir, Alam, decided to visit Rune Height.
Looks like he was curious.
Â
Â
It was a very happy story, but there was only one miscalculation.
I never thought he who was hesitating will make a decision so quickly. He was more decisive and manly than I expected.
It was troubling. The wall on the east side is still not finished yet.
ăCan you do something about it?ă
ăItâs impossible. Even by using magică
I consulted it with Azul of the Tuban engineering team who lead the construction, but it was easily rejected.
If somehow magic able to do it, we can manage it since a long time ago.
No, wait a minute.
Â
Â
A few days later, Viceroy Alam along with 100 private armies came to visit Rune Height.
I guess he brought to many escorts, but since it was the viceroy who come to the enemy ground, itâs normal to do so.
From the past conversation, I knew that Alam is not the kind of man who will suddenly start a war here.
Â
Â
ăOhâŠâŠ So this is the gate of Rune HeightâŠâŠă
It is no wonder that Alam was amazed.
The newly created gate boasts the dignity of the demon capital. With the Tuban solid gate as a reference, we made it even stronger.
The walls from here continue to surround the perimeter of Rune Height. Both the height and thickness are correspondence to full-scale siege warfare.
ăHow much time do you need to make this?ă\n
Actually, we didnât make it.
Except for the gate, Â it was an estimated projection made with illusion magic
Â
Â
ăRune Height is not the servant of Miraldia anymore. Even we made walls, no one felt constraint by it. Thatâs why we immediately rebuild ită
After I said it with full of confidence, I talked in a low voice with Lash who pretending to be my aide.
ăIs it really okay for this guy to touch it?ă
ăAh, yes. I reproduced the texture as if ăI feel like touch somethingă. Itâs fine even if he hit ită
As expected of the great sage Gomoviraâs disciple. her Ability is originally high, but the growth speed is amazing. Maybe she wasnât just a Saint-sama.
Â
Â
However, it was just an illusion. It will be exposed if she dropped her guard.
even though I was slightly impatient, I invited Alam to the gate.
ăI would like you to see the state of the city that better than this one. Iâm sure you will be surprisedă
Hey? come in quickly. Here, look at the city.
Aah, please donât look at the wall too much.
Â
Â
As we passed through the new east gate, there was a wide vacant lot in the neighborhood.
ăIn the near future, we had a plan to make a new residential area here. Since Rune height citizen lives in the old city, perhaps there will be a lot of human and demon will come and live in here.
I was a consideration for rune height citizen who wants to maintain their old life. There was a lot of conflict between local people and newcomers even in the previous life.
Then, we passed through the old east gate.
Â
Â
When Alam saw the main street in the Rune Height east gate, he and his private army let out a voice of admiration.
ăWowâŠâŠâŠă\năSo this is the demon capitalâŠâŠă
When the east gate was blocked, I was asked to revitalize the district, so I set up a workshop for inujin here. It was a salon of inujin, a combination of hobby and profit.
The revitalization is going well, and there were a restaurant and game place made for inujin now.
Â
Â
In the corner of the workshop, a human trader and inu jin craftsmen are talking about something. When I looked at those two cheerful appearances, looks like the products seem to be sold quite well.
I think there are several dragonewt at the butcherâs shop. They carefully calculate the chicken meat to use for dinner.
They are subordinates of Kurtz. Maybe on the way back, they order something from the studio.
In another placeâŠâŠ Hey isnât that Fern onee-chan?
Â
Â
ăFern, what are you doing!?ă
Then Fern onee-chan waved her hand to me while being surrounded by inujin.
ăbecause my corps is off duty today, I am having a tea with inujin. How about you joined as well Vaito-kun?ă
ăI canât! I told you that thereâs an important person coming right!?ă
ăAh, rightă
Donât become a piece of junk as soon as the inujin is involved, Fern onee-chan.
Â
Â
I felt Alam stared at me, so I cough in hurry.
ăIâm sorry, I showed you an ugly part of my subordinateă
Alam was watching me and Fern onee-chan over and over.
Then because she canât hold it anymore, she asked me in a low voice.
ăAno, that ăVaito-kună isâŠ..?ă
ăWould you be so kind to forget it?ă
He nodded so many times when I threatened him.
 \n\năYes, I was working hard to connect human and demon right nowă
Because of that great title, Aura will be embarrassed whenever this topic comes up.
ăLetâs talk a bit further about what happened in the past. Please come this wayă
Aura invited and guided Alam to the hall
Iâll also come, but it will be peaceful if I leave it to her
Â
Â
After heard Auraâs story, Alam nodded keenly.
ăI see, I understandâŠâŠ Then itâs no wonder that the scene of the town will be like thată
After he said that, he takes a sip of the green tea.
ăIf I was the Viceroy of Rune Height, I will make a similar decision in the end. I canât make prompt decision like Auraă
Liar, you also have a pretty good determination.
I look at his face and Alam made a bitter smile.
Â
Â
ăEven so, Shaldir has a few troops and is the protection is not hard. Itâs impossible for the country not to look if thereâs demon king army stationed in thereă
Yeah, thatâs true.
But there was a military force that I can turn aroundâŠâŠ But it was only in the case of emergency, it was impossible to stay permanently.
Then, Alam continues to speak.
ăI would like to make a cooperative relationship in the form of secret agreement. I would publish the official alliance anytime. of course as a friend of demon king armyă
ăIâm glad to hear thată
I canât completely relieve because it still in secret agreement, but it still made a lot of conciliation.
Â
Â
After that, I signed the informal document, then we exchange a handshake with each other.
