“Hero. What is this…?”

“Ah, ahaha… Ah, hello, my lord.”

The lord, who was always indebted to me, was surprised.

Well, if I called suddenly and there were a lot of dryads around, I would be surprised.

Kimia was also quite surprised.

A lot of trees were moved to the cube, so I checked and found out they were monsters.

That’s also a dryad that he himself requested.

Fortunately, Kimia was convinced in an instant.

Is it because it’s a Gongdol concept character?

He seemed to be the kind of person who can’t be bothered with unusual things.

After taking a lot of honey that he had collected in advance, he helped move the tree and disappeared with Kennel.

Cheer up, Kennel.

You can do it!

I felt sorry for Kennel, who was getting thinner and thinner every time I saw his face.

“I’m thinking of raising these guys in the city.”

“Hero. Dryads are monsters. They are normally gentle, but when they collect honey, they become fierce. There is no way they can be bred…”

“Vivian, will you show me that?”

“If the owner wishes.”

Vivian took out the fluttering potion from her arms.

“There is no way to obtain the ingredients for the succubus gas anymore, so there is nothing we can do… but this is enough.”

To avoid any contamination on her hands, Vivian wore thick gloves to protect her hands.

And after spraying the potion on the gloves, I touched the dryad.

The reaction was also fierce.

Even though I didn’t inhale the gas, I extracted a lot of honey in an instant.

A perplexed look was evident on the lord’s face as he looked at that scene.

“This is…”

“The dryads seem to like it quite a bit. What do you think? It must be a specialty of the city.”

“I can’t believe the dryads are so calm. If you consider the amount of honey they collect….”

It seemed as if the sound of an abacus being struck was heard in the lord’s head.

The lord, who had been groaning for a while, soon nodded.

“···There are conditions, but it is possible if you accept them.”

“What are the conditions?”

“First of all, I would like you to move the site. If something happens, the residents will be at risk. I think it should at least be installed in the suburbs.”

“That makes sense. But we don’t have money to buy land.”

“We can pay that amount. If you pay it back slowly, there will be no problem.”

“···Then, what are the other conditions?”

“I want to place knights at the place where they are raised. If an emergency occurs, we will need people to subdue them.”

“Fine. I accept.”

As soon as I heard the story, I immediately accepted because there was nothing to worry about.

There are a lot of private houses around the place where I wanted to build a house.

Honestly, if the dryad went on a rampage, I couldn’t guarantee that everyone would be safe.

Since it was a valid reason with no reason to hesitate, there was no reason to object.

Since it is essential to minimize risk in the event of an unexpected situation, I can understand the opinion of deploying technicians.

If there’s a problem, it’s if this lord suddenly uses knights or something and hits me in the back.

Absolutely not.

As far as this person is concerned, that doesn’t happen.

Such a good person betrayed me? You have to tell jokes to a certain extent.

I decided to trust this person no matter what.

···By the way, this lord.

I lost weight again compared to last time.

“···Now that I think about it, my lord, you’ve lost quite a bit of weight?”

“Haha. You’re saying the same thing as last time. Recently, you’ve also been training with knights. How is it?”

“You look much better. When you lose all the weight, you’ll be able to meet some girls.”

I felt it as the flesh covering my jawline began to shrink and the outline of my face began to roughly reveal itself.

If you lose weight like this, a handsome guy will emerge.

I think I’ll be much more handsome than I was when I was a man.

Somehow I felt defeated.

I haven’t even scratched the lottery.

This was a winning lottery ticket.

“It feels good for the hero to say that. Then, let’s do it. Can we designate the outskirts site?”

“I would appreciate it if you could do that. It’s not our land to begin with.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll look for land with good conditions. I’ll send you a contract for the rest. Please take your time and check it out.”

“Okay, good luck. I’m sorry for calling you out every day.”

Something became fun.

Hire monsters and assign knights to guard them.

Buying land and starting a business.

···Is this how it feels to be a businessman?

We can’t do this on our own, so we’ll hire employees later.

Are you really becoming a boss?

After coming to this world, I thought about my much higher social status.

···I just want to live here!

Anyway, if you go back to modern times, you are living the life of an office worker being mistreated by your boss.

I don’t know who it is, but if the guy who dropped me here lets me go back.

I have the confidence to tell you to fuck off.

However, the unfortunate thing is that there is no way to solve sexual desire.

But this will also be possible someday if the lewdness level is raised.

Perfect!

“Master, you look happy?”

“Mmm! I’m feeling pretty good right now!”

“···Then, I have something important to talk about. Would you like to talk for a moment?”

“Important story?”

What is it?

Vivian’s expression was serious.

You’ve only been here for a short time, so what do you want to talk about?

***

“···That’s how it happened.”

Vivian said she wanted me to come alone, so I went to a place where no one was around.

He started telling absurd stories.

what?

The devil’s army is on the move?

The goal is to find a way for the warrior to cross the Red Sea?

…I don’t know that either?

“I heard the story, but there are so many things I don’t understand.”

“···What’s the point? I think I explained everything?”

“First of all, why do the Four Heavenly Kings follow the Demon King’s orders? Didn’t they say that the Demon King is weak, but the Four Heavenly Kings are strong?”

Vivian said that the demon world was targeting me.

Upon hearing that the hero had appeared, the weak demon king began to struggle to survive.

···However, the appearance of a hero does not mean that all the demons die.

What if all the heroes so far have defeated the Demon King?

Rather, wouldn’t it be possible to give up the demon king to the hero and pursue peace?

“···It’s because of the throne.”

“Throne?”

“Yes. Did we mention that the demon selected by the Demon King’s Throne becomes the Demon King?”

“Yes. Didn’t you say there were a lot of complaints because of that?”

“There is no demon that can resist the magic power of the throne. If they receive an order from the demon king, even if they are the Four Heavenly Kings, they will just follow the order.”

Is that right?

What kind of fraudulent item is there?

“Of course most demons hate it. But there’s no way. The demon lord doesn’t want to die, so of course he’ll give it all he has.”

“···So the demons are forced to fight?”

“Not all. There are some who actively do it. However, a lot of them don’t like it. Isn’t that natural? Who wants to die?”

…For some reason, I felt bad.

Should we say that the devil who forces the devils to do things is bad?

However, the Demon King is also just a person who was forced to wear the crown by the throne.

···If a hero appears and is told that he is destined to die.

If I were there, I would have done the same thing.

“···It’s an unpleasant story. So?”

“huh?”

“Why are you telling me this?”

Honestly, this is what I didn’t understand the most.

Is there any benefit to begging me?

“Isn’t it obvious? What did they do for me?”

“···You’ll do it?”

“The owner gave me a house, a job, and saved me from attacking him. But what about them? They didn’t do anything.”

Uh, I mean.

They pushed me to my death and didn’t help me, so I just stuck with the enemy, is this it?

“I’m an imp. If I’ve been wronged, I’ll pay you back as hard as I can.”

“Yeah, right…”

It was a little creepy.

I need to treat Vivian as well as I can. If you don’t want to be retaliated against.

“Then, it will be difficult to contact those demons from now on.”

“Yes why?”

“That’s right, because you betrayed me.”

“···You didn’t betray me?”

uh?

Didn’t you betray me?

As I looked at her in confusion, Vivian giggled and continued talking.

“Of course, I will help my master. But there is no reason to tell that to the enemy, right?”

“So, that means…?”

“I told you the whole truth. Except for the fact that I was attached to the master. They probably thought I was stealing information.”

and.

A double spy.

It’s a situation you only see in movies.

“The information they give me will be passed on to the hero. What do you think? Isn’t it okay?”

Regardless of whether it’s okay or not, this…

Should I say it is evil?

The only source of information the other side gets is from a double agent.

There is no way to know, and even if you do know, there is no way to deal with it.

“If you kill the Demon King well, the Four Heavenly Kings and the demons under them will also retreat. They won’t want to die either.”

“···Then wouldn’t it be okay to just ride the Red Sea and kill the Demon King? I heard it would be difficult for anyone but a hero to pass by?”

I blurted out the question that came to mind.

…Because I thought that I could just cut down the demon lord and go back.

Anyway, if no one but me can cross the Red Sea safely.

Is it okay to just kill the demon lord and live happily ever after?

“For his own safety, he is going to cross the Red Sea to kill you, but of course there will be a lot of guards around. If he fails, he will bring all the powerful demons around to the throne, right?”

Probably city-level demons would attack.

I decided to stay quiet when I saw Vivian saying that.

Killing innocent demons city by city is a little…

“So, let’s find the reason why the hero and his companions can cross the Red Sea. Then the Demon King will also take action.”

“···I see. Do you think the Demon Lord will come over here?”

“It will come over. The throne has a radius large enough to cover the continent, but it cannot cross the Red Sea.”

what.

I asked Vivian a question that suddenly occurred to me.

“Vivian. If the Demon Lord comes here, isn’t there nothing else? If this place is attacked, wouldn’t the situation get worse?”

“Huh? Ah, I didn’t mention that. You know, the throne can’t give out many orders.”

“What does that mean?”

“So, what if an order was given to kill the hero? No other orders can be given other than that.”

“I see. I understand.”

After hearing Vivian’s words, I understood right away.

What if you enter the devil’s abode?

All demons will rush to the command to exclude those who cause harm to them.

…But, if you come here, the story is different.

If the Demon King attacks me, the Demon King becomes defenseless.

If the Demon Lord defends himself, he cannot attack.

You will have no choice but to choose one of the two.

After all, we can’t just continue to defend once we’ve come this far, so we’ll attack at some point.

And if Vivian tells you the timing, it’s over.

···Really, it’s an evil plan.

“But you know that very well.”

“How many years do you think it’s been since the throne appeared? That’s common sense, my lord.”

Vivian’s face, which was smiling as she stuck out her tongue, became disgusting, so she slightly let go of the honey chestnut.
