Chapter 697 – [A Journey to the Demon World]

The Demon King was an unusual person. As he rested, he listened to the story from Korma, which was well received, but as a dream horse, there was not much scandal.

No, if you think about it, I wonder if I, who thinks that I’m a dreamer and lewd, thinks too racially discriminatory.

Yes, just as people differ from person to person, there may be a little innocent dreamer……

“Oh, there’s still time until the welcome party. Shall we freshen up?”

“No, dream demons are lewd, right?”

In the first place, the kids who live like that aren’t lewd, you’re talking like a virgin bitch.

Even if Korma did it once, it looked like it was not enough even after washing it dozens of times, but if the other dreamers were less than that, it would be less, not more.

“But if there is no scandal, how do you get spirit?”

“Because the other dream demons under your command give you the essence. To be honest, if you’re at the level of the Demon King, it’s more efficient to receive what other dream demons bring than to hug a man yourself.”

“Oh, that’s right”

It’s because I’m a transcendental person, so my spirit is so perfect. Usually, it’s inefficient to invite a man to eat spirit.

It would be better to receive the energy from the many dream demons under his command and supplement it with it. Unless it’s like Korma, after all, there is only one body, so it’s better to use many people.

“That’s why dreamers who are older than adults regularly pay taxes. Same goes for vampires.”

“Why a vampire?”

“In the end, maybe it’s because it feels like we live by sucking strength from others, but it’s similar to absorbing it. However, blood is difficult to store, so we change it regularly inside the body and pay taxes.”

The demon king receives energy from the demons under his command, and those demons are protected by the demon king.

It’s a mutually supportive relationship, but if you look deeply, it feels like an anthill. Like worker ants obeying the queen.

Still, I’m very happy to hear this story. Because it feels like you are in another world.

“Since you’ve heard about the Rem clan and the Refeshu clan, let’s talk about the Bores clan. What about the Dark Elves?”

“Ah, the Bores clan is the clan that manages the granary area in the southern part of the Demon King’s Castle. Even though they have adapted to the Dark World and become Dark Elves, elves are elves, so they show great ability in raising crops.”

“The only difference between an elf and a dark skin?”

“Hmm… Besides that, maybe it’s a little different. It’s good if you think that all Dark Elves are like Asterope-sama.”

“You’re being honest with your desires. I get it roughly.”

The demon world is barren. In the meantime, if you were in charge of food production, it wouldn’t be strange if you became a species that was in charge of the evil world.

“However, it is quite a turnaround for an elf who was taken as a slave to the demon world to become one of the three major races in the demon world.”

“Originally, it wasn’t to that extent, but as the land available for farming gradually decreased, the status gradually rose and became like this.”

“It’s just like the workers after the Black Death.”

As too many people died from the Black Death, the number of workers decreased, so wages were raised to entice them. People died inexhaustibly, but that is what caused the status of workers to rise.

As the Pandemonium became an asshole, only the Dark Elves rose in status thanks to that. Something is upsetting

“The coffee and cacao that Her Highness wants are mainly from the South.”

“They’re the ones I’ll have to meet someday.”

Give me all the cacao you have!!!!

Until I go back to the mainland with cacao, I will stay here forever!!!! Chucker early yeeeee Chuke oh oh oh yeeeee

“It’s about time for Her Highness’ welcome party. Please enjoy the party.”

“Huh? You say you’re not going together?”

“Yes?”

“I need a partner, so you should go with me.

“Yeah eh?!?!”

If you think about the future of Korma, there is a high possibility that he will become the Demon King even if he does not want to do it himself. At least, he had to rise to a high-ranking position in order to live comfortably.

It would be good to lay the groundwork for that. Besides, since he said he was going to take responsibility, it’s good to take him with him to show that.

Also, since there is no doubt that there will be people who quarrel with Korma, who has been transferred from the collateral to the direct line, we must make it clear that I am behind Korma.

“Can I go to the party with Her Highness?”

“Why are you such a newbie at a party… No, you’re a newbie?”

If you think about it, you couldn’t come out of the Empire because of your situation, so you couldn’t even attend that common party?

Then, isn’t this the Korma debut ceremony?

“Sweet, I have to ask Shion to send some things as soon as I arrive.”

You can’t let your child’s debut ceremony go sloppy!!!! Full makeup GAZaaaaa!!!!!

*        *    *

I asked Shion to bring Korma a dress for her and some cosmetics to use. There is a set of sizes, so you can input them into Horizon and pull them out as they are.

“Huh? Your Highness? Did you know how to do makeup?”

“There are times when I live as a woman, so to some extent. Even if it’s not at the level of an expert, I do more than the basics.”

In fact, it can be entrusted to this side, but it is not very reliable. Even if they take care of my convenience, I wonder if Korma will be included in that convenience. Please decorate my attendant, but how many people will do their best to decorate it?

I’d rather do it than that. He doesn’t know makeup, but he doesn’t have the sense to choose clothes, but he believed in Horizon’s artificial intelligence.

“It’s a purple dress… This is pretty good.”

“Ah, does it suit you?

“Unexpectedly, it goes well with the pink hair. It’s pretty.”

Based on accumulated big data… Anyway, the dress that Horizon even recommended was perfect for Korma. I don’t know what fabric was used, but the starlight-like decorations on the purple dress attracted attention.

Besides makeup. Even so, Korma’s appearance was outstanding, but she even put on makeup, so she became a borderline beauty. Oh, of course not as much as my wife.

Preparations for her first debut are complete, all that remains is to attend the party.

“Ah, that’s right. Is there anything I should be careful about? Something very simple, something taboo that shouldn’t be done.”

“There’s no such thing. Even if it were, I wouldn’t separately ask Your Highness who came from the continent. Now, behind Your Highness, not only the Empire, but also the Demon King is there.”

“Is it?”

“Even in the worst case, it’s enough to win in a duel.”

“Oh, that’s the easiest way”

It’s a world where everything can be done with strength, so it’s comfortable for me. I think it’s a little strange that the Great Demon King, who controls society, likes a less developed society.

Anyway, it was time for the party, and she left the room with Korma. However, when we arrived at the party, the party was in full swing.

It’s true that it’s late, but it’s not too late. Originally, the main character comes late. So, in the empire, isn’t the emperor the last to come in? In this case, the Demon King is the last, but I was right before that.

As we enter the party, our eyes are drawn to us.

There were a lot of demons who looked at me, but some of them also looked at Korma. In particular, there were demons who admired Korma in full makeup.

“Pink hair…… Is it a dream horse that has just become an adult? Come to think of it, I heard that His Majesty sent a young dream horse as a guide to bring the 3rd prince.”

“But she is quite beautiful. There is a feeling that she has not yet been bitten, so I can’t wait to see what she will be like later.”

“If she came as a party partner, that would mean that she is a child favored by the third prince, right? Did Maou-sama calculate that and send that child?”

“Tsk, originally, a dreamer has an advantage in this way. She is good at seducing.”

There were good reviews and bad reviews. No, you swearing bastard, I remembered your face.

Slowly looking around the party, I was wondering who to talk to, and I found a face I knew at least among other people besides the demon king.

Head of the Retpeshu clan. Looking like an aloof vampire, she sat quietly in the corner of the party, slowly drinking wine alone.

“Shall I talk to you over there?”

“……Can I fall for it?”

“Is it because you’re embarrassed?”

“Since he’s not on good terms with the Demon Lord, I don’t think I’ll like him too much as a dreamer like him.”

“Be quiet for now, say something and I’ll shield you”

I walked over to the head of the Lephesh clan. She, too, put the wine glass she was drinking on the table as it was and looked this way, as if she had noticed me approaching.

“Nice to meet you, Head of the Lephesh Clan. You may have seen it at the previous welcome ceremony, but I’ll greet you formally. It’s called Worst Von Frontier.”

“…….Yes, nice to meet you. I am Rasmonica Repeche, the head of the Repeche Clan.”

It’s a pretty businesslike tone. Even though she’s a woman, if she wants to be on top of the demons, would she have to talk like this?

Come to think of it, even though the demon king was a woman, the way he spoke was dignified. Well, if you see that your sister is like that, in the end, the woman on top has no choice but to throw away part of her femininity.

It’s a cruel word, but it can’t be helped. Did you really think that in a place where force is important, something like the pinnacle of power could be achieved without sacrifice?

“I know I didn’t show a good look at the welcome ceremony, but I’d appreciate it if you could understand that it stemmed from Balo’s concern for the Pandemonium.”

“Of course. No matter how much there is an oracle, it is not easy to believe that a single human being can save the demon world.

In this world where Gods really exist, there are many people who do not believe in any of the grey, white or black gods. I believe in the existence of God, but I do not believe in it.

In such a reality, even if it’s an oracle, can you trust a single human? Even if God guarantees it, I can’t help but doubt it.

Both the Demon King who believes in me and the head of Reppesh who doesn’t believe are both right. Because there are as many thoughts as there are people in the world.

“But I have personal business. Since I’ve been to the Demon Realm, I’m going to use my energy to revive the Demon Realm. For my personal goals, it’s better to revive the Demon Realm.”

“Private business? May I ask what it is, if you don’t mind rude?”

I glanced at the wine poured into the wine glass on the table and said.

“This wine is said to be made by the Leh Peche clan, but I really liked it. It is superior to the fine wines of the Empire.”

“Hoo”

Praise makes even whales dance. Who wouldn’t be offended by a sound like, ‘You made it as a hobby, you look like a professional’?

The story was easy because I was lucky enough to do so. Based on that, I plan to exchange the special products of the Pandemonium with the empire and conduct full-scale trade.

Even though the academy ran a cafe and sold coffee, it was still difficult to distribute to the general public. The reason Ishmael couldn’t open the second store besides the first is the coffee supply problem.

If you need more raw materials, you can just order it, but the problem is that the harvest is low because there is not enough land to farm here as a farmhouse.

And I was able to fix that.

“Coffee……Ah, we call kahwah coffee. It’s difficult to pronounce, so this one sticks to our mouths more.”

“Hmm, I also often drink it during the day when I work. But drinking it as a drink is a bit surprising.”

“I’ll show you the taste later. You’ll like it.”

Anyway, as far as I know, two things are needed in the Demon Realm. Coffee and cacao. Since both of them are favorite products, there is a high possibility that they will become influential products.

However, I think they said that cacao was called Chocolatle or something here…… Besides, they said that the Black Church monopolizes it, so let’s talk about that with them.

“However, even the amount of exchange with the empire is burdening us enough. It is difficult to supply more than this amount, and the amount to supply to the entire continent is also insufficient.”

“Why is it that there is a shortage?”

“Because there is not enough arable land”

“Why is the arable land scarce?”

“……This is because most of the territory of the Pandemonium has become a delusion and cannot be easily accessed. There is not enough land to live in, let alone cultivated land.”

Yes, even if I roughly detect it, there are dozens of feelings that get in the way. There must be a lot more if you consider that Sandman scattered the pieces to hide the source of his delusion.

But I can dismantle that delusion. Very easy.

“I’ve demolished 3 delusion sites on the continent in at most a few years. I’ve done most of that by myself, all by myself, without any other support.”

“……..That!”

“Of course, there may be differences between the continent and the delusion of the demon world, but isn’t it a story with a lot of potential?”

If I set my mind to it, I can demolish one delusion map per day.

If you demolish the delusion of the demon world, you can have more land in the future. That kind of land where you can live and grow crops.

“That’s… You should think about it positively.”

“I hope you make a good decision”

Hmm, the head of Retpeshu isn’t such a bad person. As the head of a clan, he had the ability and seemed to have a decent personality.

A person like this is at odds with the demon king, who also serves the demon realm, and has a bad relationship… Are personality and human relationships a separate issue after all?

She glanced at Korma next to me. But there was no deep emotion in her eyes. In other words, it’s not that I hate dream demons, it just means that I hate demon lords.

“But it looks like you’re on bad terms with the Demon King.”

“………It’s a personal matter, so it’s not something I’d say to a customer.”

Then, emotion showed in her eyes. It’s a pretty complicated feeling, so I can’t make a hasty decision… But there is one thing I can be sure of.

The head of Le Peche didn’t just hate the demon lord.

It must have been a complicated story.
