　A magnificent desk and chair that had been placed there before I knew it.

　As I sat and waited, Eve brought me tea in a silver wagon.

　The pot was filled with hot water, and the tea leaves were put in and poured in front of me.

　The cups were also heated, and the aroma of the tea, poured at the right temperature and in the right amount, was wonderful.

　Lemon and milk were also available, but I chose milk.

　Three cups of sugar.

　The sweet and rich taste spread in my mouth.

　As one would expect from a master of service, she knew how to make a cup of tea that would satisfy her master's taste buds.

　She is knowledgeable and loyal.

　Perhaps he has found the best subordinate.

　When he finished his cup of tea with satisfaction, he stopped Eve from pouring a second cup.

"No more tea. Let's have a strategy meeting right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir."

　Eve bows her head deeply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"With the Goddess gone, Eve is our only hope."

"Use it to your heart's content. If you ask me to die, I will die, and if you ask me to play at night, I will play at night.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's the skill of loyalty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But," I continue.

"I'm not such a lowlife. I'm sure I won't ask you to do anything, so you'll just have to focus on being my secretary."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She nods without changing her expression.

"Well, to get back to the point, the goddess wants me to expand this castle. I heard you need materials to expand it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If it's only a little. But it is not enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then I'd better increase those few remaining materials first."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think you're right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there a way?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We will build a new farm in the castle. Expand the castle town, increase the population and tax revenue. Summon armies, let them gather or plunder. I think that is the usual way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think the last option would be to collect them quickly."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Now that the castle is almost defenseless, it is only natural that we should expand from the legions. I've made up my mind. I will create the best army!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You've done well, my master."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I believe in quality over numbers, but what we need now are numbers. I want to build a strong army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

An army, sir?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

An army. I want to have an army of demons that will strike fear into the hearts of other demon kings and make it impossible for them to attack us easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then use good materials and remember to do so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Then bring me the materials.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She brings the material.

　A few minutes later, they are spread out on the desk,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mandogora,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Light beetles,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tunicate tree,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Leaves of the world tree,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Weird bones,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I combine them and put them in a Klein jar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The combination was inspired. It seems that the summoning ritual is not so important even if it is elaborated. Of course, the summoned monsters change according to the ingredients, but the recipe is unique to each person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if the same ingredients are used, the same demon will never be born.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only way is to try again and again, and gain experience in your own way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　First of all, put the suspicious bones and mandragora into Klein's jar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You put magic into the jar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The whole picture of the ideal army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My army needs an undefeatable will, an awe that strikes fear into the hearts of our enemies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All I needed was a tenacious soldier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The guts to not stop moving forward even when your comrades are defeated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The toughness to keep fighting even under the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be difficult to ask such a thing of goblins and orcs. So I envisioned skeleton soldiers, and my imagination took shape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Smoke rises silently from Klein's jar, and the words appear.
