Actually, I've come to this town with the idea of running a demonic all-around shop.

"Is ...... an everything store?

　The master of the Adventurer's Guild, Trow, voiced his skepticism at Lasse's honesty in telling him his purpose.
　Surely a wizard with a dragon is right to wonder why.

As you know, the long war with our neighbors is over.

　Lasse slowly began to explain the story, trying not to alarm Trow and the others.

"I used to work for the army as a witchcatcher, but when the war was over, they didn't need me anymore, so I was sent away.

How can that be?

　Trow screams for an impossible reason.

"A demon hunter with dragons?　That's not possible!

　This is an unbelievable dismay for the head of a guild that unites adventurers, but Trow is right.
　A demonslayer with a dragon, one of the strongest in the world, can give the surrounding countries a glare just by being there.
　It is more than enough to make the enemy hesitate without a fight.
　Even if you need to pay for the maintenance of dragons and other demons, a powerful individual dragon is far more cost-effective to maintain an army and sometimes fight for the same cost. If you are a human, the possibility of multiple deaths in a single battle is not small. If so, their strength would gradually decrease and the difference in attrition would be dramatic even if they were operated at the same cost.
Flying through the sky, protected by its hard scales. An individual force comparable to an army that can spit breath, fly and rush to the scene faster than a human.
　Eliminating it was unbelievable folly.

Well, it's true. Well, it's true... I don't mind having you look into it if you want.

　It's not particularly painful for Lasse to have his identity checked, so he will suggest his own investigation.

It's a good thing that you're not a fan of ...... or Mr. Lasse.

　Trow gives Lasse a serious look and says, "I'll just put it bluntly: we can't have a dragon in town.

"I'll be blunt: I can't have a dragon in the city, even if it absolutely obeys your orders. Even if that dragon is absolutely obedient to your orders.

(Well, of course.)

　Trow's words were natural for a person who protects the security of the town.
　Because anyone can't afford to shop if someone with an unarmed weapon is inside a store.

Of course I wouldn't say the whole town. Outside the city walls...... well, the side of the Great Demon Forest seems to be a good place. That's where the demons will be more likely to come of their own accord.

"The Great Demon Forest: ......

　In this continent, there are many dangerous areas where demons occur.
　And it is customary to name such lands with the word "demon" so that even a stranger can understand it.
　That is, the Great Demon Forest means a dangerous forest where demons are born.
　That's why this town, Dexter's town, is protected by the walls.
　At least it didn't mean anything to a flying dragon.

　Lasse will protect the town from such a dangerous forest and in return, I'll let you live here.

(Is that why you've come to this otherwise featureless town?)

　Even after being explained to him, Trow was still unsure of his true intentions, but secretly he wanted to welcome them with open arms.
　After all, the Great Demon Forest is home to a large number of demons.
　And the soldiers in Dexter's town are not very well trained.
　Most of those who can fight were taken away for the war, and even now, after the war is over, they are still on loan to deal with the post-war process and defeat the remnants of the defeated soldiers and have not yet returned to the city.
　Thanks to the wall, it's manageable, but if the wall is destroyed by a high-level demon, the town could be destroyed in an instant.
　It's just a matter of time before a demon wielder with a dragon voluntarily fights the demons from the forest.

It's certainly a fascinating story.

　Lest the negotiations fall apart too soon, Trow smells favorable to Lasse's proposal.
　But even if you personally want to accept the terms, the mayor has the decision to make.
　Since Lasse wants to live outside of town, he doesn't have to ask for permission.
　Lasse is just thinking of business and came to discuss it quietly.

Mr. Mayor, what Lasse has to say is greatly appreciated for the defense of the town. The breeding season of the forest demons is near, and it's in our best interest to keep Lasse in the loop for our safety.

Hmmm, well. If you say so much, Trow: ......

　You should be able to find out what you need to do to make your life easier.
　Since Trow strongly recommended it, he thinks it's Lasse who's to blame if something goes wrong.
　Of course Lasse and Trow understand that.
　The only person who doesn't think he's noticed is our mayor.

(Just to be sure, let me give you a little extra push.)

"Oh, yes, actually, I have a unicorn in my retinue, a unicorn that can heal the townspeople's injuries and illnesses because it can use recovery magic.

"Unicorn!　Is that the legendary holy beast?

　At the mention of the unicorn's name, Trow couldn't hide his excitement as he took a bite out of it.

Yes, the unicorn.

(Rightly so, though.)

　Lasse sighs in his heart.
　The unicorn is carried only by pure maidens, and its horn is said to have the power to heal injuries and illnesses and purify unclean water.
　It is called a holy beast because of its pure white fur, but in reality, the unicorn is a pervert who loves virgins.
　He was a hardcore pedophile who wouldn't let a man, even a lord, ride him on his back, and only a virgin girl could ride him. He was a graceful horse that declared the old lady a nongame, even if she was a maiden.

Oh, where's the unicorn?

The unicorn is waiting for you at the entrance of the house.

"Hohoho!

　Now that his calm demeanor was gone, Trow was completely curious about the unicorn.
　But Trow was understandably excited.
　Adventurers are creatures who seek the unknown, treasure and fame.
　They can't stand still when the rare sacred beast is right next to them.
　In fact, from outside the window, you can hear people coming to see the unicorn.


　When Trow hears of this activity, he can't wait to go and see the unicorn.

Trent, the plant monster, can help you make a good harvest from a poorly cultivated field or use flying monsters to pick up herbs from dangerous places. If you hire us, I promise you that we will be very useful to the city.

"I see. ......

　When Lasse told him that, the mayor gave up trying to call out to Trow, who was peering out the window to look at the unicorn.
　That thing is useless by any stretch of the imagination.
　That was obvious even to the mayor.

Well, if you have a holy beast that can protect your town and can even use recovery magic, you can go to ......

　The mayor turns his attention to Trow again.
　But the mayor sighs that it's impossible to put the responsibility on a counselor who's so excited about the unicorn. He wondered if he had to make the decision on his own.

Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to go see the unicorn.　In fact, "Are you sure?

　The words of Trow overshadowed Lasse, who was about to say that if he could see the monster in person, he would know if it was dangerous or not.

"Yes ......, how about you, Mr. Mayor?

Yeah, I guess so.

　The mayor was bluntly relieved, perhaps secretly pleased that the decision was postponed.

　.

　Outside the mansion, there is a unicorn bringing its horn close to the girl's hand.
　When the unicorn's horn touches the girl's hand, a faint light is lit on the horn and runs down to the girl's hand.
　The girl's hand was apparently injured, and the light emitted by the unicorn heals the wound.

...... Wow!　My injuries healed so fast!

　A girl, whose wound is completely closed, shows her hand to the inhabitants around her and declares that her wound is completely healed.

Oh, it's all gone.

"I never knew recovery magic could be so amazing.

"I will heal any injury for a beautiful girl.

　The unicorn is thanked by the girl and utters a disturbing line.

(She's just so lovey-dovey again.)

　Although it sounds like the humility of a refreshing holy beast at first glance, Lise, who has been with him for a long time, could hear his true intentions of wanting to have more contact with the girl.

"Since you're here, why don't you try the unicorn's treatment?

　Lasse will proceed with the treatment to help the mayor understand the usefulness of the unicorn.

We'll see you at ....... I'm old enough to have back pain often. Can you make this pain go away?

I'm on it. Unicorn, could you please treat this one?

"Hmm, I see you're done negotiating, Lord. ...... Geez.

　The unicorn looks at the mayor and makes a disgusted sound.

"Mr. Mayor has a bad back, and I need you to fix him up for me. Can you do that for me?

"...... Okay.

　It was a seemingly normal conversation, but it contained a deep unicorn sadness that the girl and I had touched each other, and now I have to touch this greasy old man.

Then let's get you fixed up.

　The unicorn presses its horn against the mayor's waist somewhat roughly.

Ouch.

　The mayor lets out a slight scream when the corner is hit.

"Be a man and be patient.

　The unicorn's horn begins to glow faintly, while dealing with the girl in a cursory manner that is the opposite of his earlier attitude towards her.
　Then the mayor's waist began to glow with a mysterious light.

Oh ...... oh!　That pain in my back just disappeared. That's awesome!

　The mayor excitedly rubbed his lower back.

"Oh, so your magic helps with your back pain. I've heard good things about this guy.

"Not a horse!　It's a unicorn!

　The unicorn becomes agitated at the mention of a horse.
　Apparently, this is an important part of the unicorn's life.

Mr. Unicorn?　I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to find another one for my waist as well.

Me too.

　Before I knew it, there were a bunch of old men lined up behind the unicorn.

What?

　A confused unicorn.
　His mind was filled with the question of why he had to deal with old people and old women instead of girls.

"Now that we're here, you'll treat these people, too, Unicorn.

Arujiiiiiii?

　The unicorn screams.

Thank goodness.

Next thing you know, the old men start to worship the unicorn.

"No, no. Stop it.

　The unicorn screams and reluctantly begins to heal.

How's that?　Safe, right?

　Lasse speaks to the mayor against the backdrop of a unicorn healing an old man.
　Trow is busy staring at the unicorn, so he ignores it.
　He takes out his sketchbook and draws a picture of the unicorn.

"Well, it's been years since my back was clean.



　With the body no longer in agony, the mayor sees the benefits of having Lasse, or rather the unicorn, live in town.

(But what to do with the dragons?)

　It's the one thing that matters, after all, but Lasse whispered in the mayor's troubled ear.

"Yes, there are beautiful demons such as lamia and sirens among my followers. Of course, they are under my control and will not harm anyone. I'll let them entertain you when they come to visit later.

I understand. Certainly your proposal is good for the town. All right, I'll allow you to live on the outskirts and open a general store at my discretion!

　Demons are fearsome, but they are not only fearsome.
　Some demons are half-human, half-beast monsters that look almost the same as humans.
　And most of those demons are beautiful in appearance.
　When the mayor heard that the lamia and the siren, which are said to be the most beautiful demons in the world, were to be entertained, he immediately stopped worrying about it and replied immediately and agreed to it.
　The best part is that the demon hunter is in charge so you don't have to worry about being attacked.
　The mayor was a small boy who didn't like to take responsibility, but he was also a snob who had a weakness for women.

Thank you!

　Thus, Lasse was granted permission to open a demon do-it-yourself store in the town of Dexter.

　.

Okay, that's it!

　Outside the walls of the town of Dexi, a small shack has been completed.
　This is the office of the Lasse-managed jack-of-all-trades.
　He couldn't build a decent house simply because he didn't have the budget, but he was comfortable with the idea that he could rebuild it with his future earnings.
　And behind the office is a fenced-in ranch where Lasse's demons live carefree.

"I see it's finally happening, Lasse-sama.

　Next to Lasse, Lamia is lined up with papers.
　Since she was a near-humanoid demon, she helped me prepare the paperwork for Lasse's store application.

Ah, the demon's everything store 'Monster's Delivery' is now open!　

　「「「「「 Ooooh! 」」」」」

　With the declaration of Lasse, the screams of the demons rang out.
