"A demon king is a demon king...not even a demon would make him work 24 hours a day.

"I wouldn't do that. I'm going to put in place a rotating shift system.　

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

"Rotating shifts?"

"We work in eight-hour shifts. Each group takes a turn.

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

"I see, that's good."

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

"Because the Ashtaroth Army is white. No overtime.

　They each thank me.

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

　Each time I returned the words to the city planners, architects, and workers, but the architects wanted me to thank them.

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

　Says Godreve, the head of the group.

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

"It is the Mad King who has given me a free hand. And for hiring and motivating the architects at a high salary. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to complete the project so quickly.

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

　Eve follows suit.

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

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

　I appreciated their high praise, but I was afraid that I would be aggravated if I took them at their word.

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

　I took them half-heartedly.

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

"If the number of people increases this much, I'm sure the tax revenue will increase as well.

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

　Godreve says.

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

"That may be true," he says.

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

　She looks at Eve and takes out a piece of paper from her pocket.

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

　She seems to have foreseen this conversation and is ready for it.

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

　She is indeed an excellent maid.

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

　When I complimented her, her cheeks flushed lightly.

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

　She clears her throat and tells me the projected tax revenues for the current fiscal year.

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

　Gottlieb seems to be amazed when he hears this.

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

"It's a few dozen times more than my hometown," he says.

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

　He said, "I'm not sure.

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

　It is indeed amazing. With this much tax revenue, they could expand their army.

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

"Master, you are finally going to organize a human army as planned.

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

　Eve smiles.

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

"Ah, now we can hire human mercenaries and give them weapons.

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

"Let us Dwarves make the weapons."

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

　Godreve.

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

　Of course, I nodded my head in agreement, and immediately started recruiting human mercenaries.

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

　It is not that they had not recruited before, but they could not do it on a large scale due to lack of funds.

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

　But now we have plenty of funds.

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

　The tax revenue will come in six months, but if we build a city of this scale, human merchants will be willing to lend us money.

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

　They are ambitious creatures.

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

　They will not be reluctant to lend money to a progressive demon king.

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

　Once Eve has arranged for them to raise the money, they will put up signs all over the city asking for mercenaries.

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

　Hijikata Toshizo looks at the billboards and shouts in a bitter voice.

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

"Aren't you a little too reluctant?

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

"It's an octagon to hire regular mercenaries, but it's not a problem.

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

　He says so.

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

　I have the impression that mercenaries depend on money, but such mercenaries should already be employed by rich city-states and demon-kings.

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

　You cannot win a wage competition with them.

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

　The only sincerity we could offer them was a "guarantee.

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

"Guarantee?"

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

　Toshizo comes to visit.

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

"That's a guarantee in case you die or get injured. If you are wounded and cannot fight, we will give you a lump sum of money. If you die in battle, we will send money to your family. That way, even the weakest soldiers will fight hard.

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

"I see... I've thought of that."

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

　Toshizo laughed and said, "We should have introduced it to the Shinsengumi.

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

　It was an honor to be praised by the ogre's vice chief.

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

　Perhaps my strategy had been successful, for the people who had gathered there looked serious and patient, if not robust.

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

　I entrusted Hijikata with their command and training, and decided to watch over them.

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

　I had actually wanted to join them, but Yves had told me not to.

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

If you do everything yourself, you won't be able to raise an army of Ashtaroth.

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

　Well, that makes sense.

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

　Godreve had said something similar, so I left the training to Toshizo and Jeanne, who were military commanders.
