1 CHAPTER I -- The Wicked Man Loses His Way




"Oh shit, I'm out of work.

 The strongest demonslayer, Lasse, was in great trouble.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more fun.

I didn't think I'd be fired if I ended the war: ......

 You will find that you will be able to get the best of the best, and you will be able to get the best of the best.
 You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of the game.

 But demons are living creatures. and so they cost money to maintain.
 So that's money for bait.
 Many of the demons Lasse follows are powerful and large.
 The consumption of food alone was no small matter.

 So the war was over and the tired kingdom of Tend couldn't afford to feed its gold-eating monster masters who were only used for battle.
 In other words, restructuring.

We have to get jobs somehow.

 Lasse had his head in his hands.
 How are we going to raise the money to feed the demons?
 And, more importantly, how to make a living.

I worked so hard because I thought if I joined the military, I would become a hero, people would respect me and I would get a lot of salary. ......

 But the reality is that you are fired for cutting military spending.

There will be no mercenary jobs after the war is over and you won't get much of a reward for fighting thieves. Do you want to live deep in the mountains hunting beasts? No, no, no, some demons are not suited for that kind of life,

"Um, Mr. Rise: ......

 When Lasse turned around at the sound of a dignified voice, his demons were looking at him with anxious faces .

"Oh, I'm sorry . I'll make sure you're well-fed.

 Lasse gently soothes Lamia, one of his followers.
 Lamia is said to be a bewitching demon that bewitches men, but in reality, she is a kind-hearted demon with a sensitive heart.
 Lasse wants to promote himself, but at the same time he truly cares about his demons.

"No, no, no. ...... Well, we want to work too.

 Lamia crosses her arms over her chest and pleads with Lasse.
 It was a word from the desire not to bother their master Lasse.
 The demons standing behind you also speak in agreement with you.

There are no stores that hire demons, and a demonslayer's job is basically fighting.

 Lasse is baffled.
 Basically, demons and humans are enemies.
 It is precisely because of the special occupation of demon handlers that they are able to follow demons.
 Therefore, a demon working voluntarily in the human society is not possible.

Then why don't we just make a store?

 And joining the conversation was a unicorn, also a follower of Rise.

Do you want to build a store?

 The unicorn nodded at Lasse's question.

Yes, the Lord runs the store and takes jobs other than fighting. Using the power of my horn, for example.

 Lasse huffs at the unicorn's words.

'I see! Or recovery magic!

 Unicorn nodded.
 The unicorn's horn is said to be the ingredient in an elixir that can cure all diseases, and its horn is said to have the power to purify unclean water.
 Because of this anecdote, unicorns were also powerful users of recovery magic.

So, we can ask Lasse-sama to run a store where we can make money using our non-combat skills?

"Yes.

Well, if I open up store, I can get you a job other than fighting, right?

 Lasse looks around at the demons he follows.
 The demons also stare at Lasse.

(We'll starve anyway, we'll just have to start stealing, then maybe Lamia and the others are right, let's have our own store! (And if it works, we can make a lot of money with the power of demons!

Okay, let's take the rest of the money and start a store!

 Thus began the management of the strongest magician's anything-goes business.
