"This castle is the Devil King of all the Devil Kings. This is the castle of the master who will be called the Great Demon King. It must have the dignity of a king.

　Furnishings are now placed throughout the castle. They are not extravagant, but they are stylish and show the taste of the people who installed them.

　As one would expect from Eve, the holder of maid skills, her reforms also extended to the various facilities of the castle.　She closed unnecessary facilities and replaced them with necessary ones in a strategy of selection and concentration.

　The castle has a maid corps headed by Eve, but there are not many of them.

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

　The small demon army does not have the money to hire many maids, and the castle is operated with a minimum number of maids.

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

　Therefore, the facilities that are not going to be used for a while are boldly closed.

　The fountain in the castle courtyard was shut down.

　For the same reason, half of the guest rooms will be sealed off.

　The castle may one day be filled with guests and eaters, but for now, there are only a few demon commanders, Hijikata Toshizo and Jeanne.

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

　They are not interested in luxuries, so the larger rooms are closed in turn and the smaller rooms are reserved for them.

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

　Even so, Eve has their rooms perfectly renovated, always kept clean, and never allows them to complain.

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

　Eve, like a woman, decorated their bedsides daily with flowers, which were also well received.

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

　Many of the demons also understood the elegance.

　And Jeanne, a young girl, liked it too.

I love flowers. The maids know how to love a maiden's heart.

　He looks forward to seeing what kind of flowers will be placed in the room every day.

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

　However, it seems to be unpopular with the male Toshizo.

"I can't eat flowers.

　The "Mere Old Man" is not interested in them.

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

　Instead, he goes to the maiko every day and admires the bloody flowers.

　It seems that this man was a popular playboy even at the end of the Edo period in his previous life, and it is the same in this world, too, as he visits a brothel every three days.

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

　Whatever,

"If you leave a gap of more than three days between visits, the whoremongers will be very rude to you.

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

　He says that he is a "good man".

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

　In fact, when he went to the brothels, he was constantly cheered by yellowish voices.

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

　I have seen Toshizo many times on his way home from the brothel, but he always smelled of white powder and perfume, and had several hickey marks on his neck.

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

　Once,

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

"We have received complaints from other human commanders because Toshizo monopolizes the flowers in this city.

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

　He replied matter-of-factly.

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

I don't monopolize the flowers, they monopolize me. Flowers must be watered in the name of moisture or they will wither and die.

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

　He has no intention of changing his womanizing ways.

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

　However, if this fashionable guy stops going to the "shikicho" (colorful town), shaves his hair, and starts sitting on his haunches, I will leave him alone, because that is just plain creepy.

　It is not that this man has violated women or cuckolded other people's wives, but that he has been making a name for himself with the consent of both parties.

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

　If we pay attention to the details here, we would question his character as a ruler.

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

　Now, I am a little off topic, but the facilities of Ashtaroth Castle were operated by Eve without a hitch, but as I mentioned above, the facilities that are not used very often are closed.

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

　One of them is

"The amphitheater."

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

　The first was called

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

　The amphitheater is a common facility in the castle of the Mad King.

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

　It is a place where the Demon King holds entertainment to pass the time or for the demons and humans living in the castle town.

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

　There, they make sinners fight each other or make slaves called "warriors" fight each other.

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

　Sometimes, they let humans and beasts or demons fight each other.

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

　It is just like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, but the purpose and usage are the same.

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

　It was a facility that provided entertainment for the residents and a simple display of the king's authority to the public.

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

　However, since I don't do such barbaric things, I was the first to close it down, thinking that I would never use it.

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

　But this time it seems appropriate to use this place.

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

　The match between the great Hijikata Toshizo and Jeanne d'Arc will be held here.

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

　The residents and I, the king, can't wait to watch.

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

　It is possible to hold it at the training ground, but then the number of spectators would be a hundred at most. The inhabitants of the castle town will not be able to see it.

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

　It would not be a bad idea to offer the residents a "bread and circuses" circus like the Roman Empire did.

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

　With this logic, I negotiate with Eve, the "clocksmith," and she silently taps out her abacus and struggles with the numbers.

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

　She seems to be calculating the cost of adding a hand to the amphitheater.

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

　Eve, a fiscally minded woman, balks at the idea, but I'm not so sure,

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

"You look beautiful in your maid's outfit today. The white brim is especially pretty."

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

　Eve was in a good mood and offered to pay for the repair of the amphitheater.

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

　She ended by saying

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

"I'm surprised you noticed the change in the shape of my white brim.

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

　He smiled.

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

"I didn't know it had changed. ......"

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

　I will not be tactless.

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

　It seems that the shape of the race has become something that is popular in the human city in the west.

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

　Frankly speaking, you wouldn't notice the two if they were presented side by side, since they are at the level of a mistake detector.

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

　I was known for my lack of subtlety in this area.

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

　However, being a scheming person, I said in a firm tone

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

"It is indeed a beautiful race. Eve is very fashionable to introduce something so trendy.

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

　Hearing these words, Eve smiled a really happy smile,

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

"I am very much obliged to you, sir."

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

　He bowed deeply.
