Arsenum is a fortified city.
　It is also a trading city.

　However, it's not that there is no agriculture at all, the periphery of the city is covered with wheat and vegetable fields.

　The Demon King said.

''The land around Arsenum is not fertile to begin with. Therefore, they had no choice but to create wealth through commerce, and commerce naturally flourished.

We're in the middle of a continent.

Hmm.

　The Demon King-sama shook his head.

''The land isn't very fertile, so there aren't many fields and such. We won't have to make a lot of noise when we build the castle.''

It takes a lot of work to collect the land.

　Surprisingly, many people get it wrong, but just because it's ancient or medieval doesn't mean a king can do everything.

　A king must always be afraid of the rebellion of his people.

　The ancient pyramids were not built by gathering slaves, but by giving them a decent salary, which is now a common theory, and the woman I'm looking at, Oda Nobunaga, was a ruler who suffered a lot from the people's rebellion.

　In Ise Nagashima, he was tormented by the rebellion of the Ikko sect and had many of his men and family members killed.
　In Osaka, he was also tormented by the Issou sect and had ten years to put down the rebellion.


'I don't want to make the same mistake, do I?


　The demon king declared that and whipped his beloved horse 'Onireed Hair'.
　She seems to be planning to take a walk around the area.
　I also whipped my beloved horse and followed her.

''Sati, hold on tight.

Yes, sir.

　The reason I noted that was because the speed of the Demon King's horse was faster than I expected.
　As expected of the Demon King's army, he is known as the fastest horse in the Demon King's army.
My beloved horse was also quite good, but I could barely keep up with him.




　On the way, the Demon King suddenly stopped the horse.
　Then he went into the forest.

　Of course, I tried to follow him, but I yanked on the horse's reins as hard as I could.

　My horse stops and cries out, "Heehee!

What's going on?

　Sati asks, but she can't help but squeal.

'Kyah!'

　And a pretty voice echoed through the forest.
　When I looked, the Demon King-sama had taken off his clothes and had become a stark figure.
　He was in his so-called born form.
　Sati blinds me, not to herself, but to me.

''My lord, you must not look.''

　Of course, I'm a gentleman, so I'm not going to see it.
　However, the Demon King said in a voice like a mischievous girl.

Ike can't protect me from that, Satie," he said. The assassins could be after you at this moment.

But, but...

　Sati defends herself, but the Demon King laughs a little at her desperation.

'Kukkaku, you're playing around. Don't worry. Now, I'll use the magic of the Change spell to change my appearance. I'm sure you'll be able to find something to do with it. It won't take a few minutes.

　As soon as the demon king said that, he really finished changing in a few minutes and changed into a town girl.

　When he finished dressing, the blindfold was removed.
　He said.

It's a shame, Ike," he says. "I'm sorry I didn't get to enjoy your limbs," he says.

Huh, well ... well ...

　It's a difficult question to answer.

　If a witch named Sephiro were here.
It's a bitter pill to swallow.
　I'm sure you would advise me to say that.

　But as for me, I call myself a gentleman, so I can't even say that kind of racy line.

　I can only give a safe and clerical response.

''Turning into a town girl, does that mean you're going to inspect the villages as a city person?

Hmm.

　The demon king answered immediately.

'It's not fair to ask why, is it?

Yes, sir.

　The reason for this is probably because as the Demon King, he cannot be seen through colored glasses, and as an ordinary human, he wants to see how the people in this area think and live.

　I followed the demon king's example and took off my immortal robe and mask of change and buried it in the ground.

''It's quite clever.

We've done this before, sir.

　I look at Sati.

'You toured the market with me then, didn't you?

　Satie said with a bashful smile.

'Hmmm, they're good friends. But it's nice that Unu is so easy to disguise.

All you have to do is take off your robe and mask.

　In this kind of situation, it's helpful to be human.
　Or rather, I feel grateful to be human.
　Now, the more problematic thing is........
　Me and the Demon King-sama's perspective is focused on Sati.
　Sati was staring at me with a strange look on her face and Kyoton.

''What is it?　Master Ike and the Demon King, you two look at Sati's face?

It's not the face I'm looking at. It's your clothes.

'Your clothes...?　Is it?

　Satie grabbed the edge of her maid's uniform.
Is there anything odd about it?
　He asked.　

'Some are. There is a great deal. 'Yes, there is,' he said, 'and you will be conspicuous in your attire. We are to play the part of a mere village girl and a villager. It would be suspicious to have a maid beside them.

Yes but Satie is a maid.

Don't worry, I brought you some clothes for you to wear. And fortunately, they're the same size.

　By the way, neither of them are very fertile and fleshy.
　Indeed, it would be possible to lend and borrow on clothes.

''But, Satie is a maid.

　Satie comes here to show her displeasure.

　Normally she is a straightforward girl, but when it comes to maid's clothes, Satie is the one who shows her obsession.

　Come to think of it, she had a similar reaction when she went out to the Elf Forest before.

　She didn't even have to wear a coat in that cold weather, but she was obsessed with her maid's outfit.
　It would be difficult to take away the maid's clothes from her.

　That's why I'm going to make a proposal to the Demon King.

"Demon King, don't you think it's fine for Satie to remain as she is? Satie's role is that of a maid who came to the village to buy things. We'll play the role of her attendant servant and maid.

　Hearing those words, the Demon King frowned.

''Servant and servant?''

　I'm sorry. I guess I didn't use the right words.
　Even if it was, it would be extremely impolite to have the general of the Demon King's army play the role of a servant.
　I'll be offended by this.
　I thought so, but surprisingly, she let out a light smile.

''That's funny. It's not bad to have that kind of setting sometimes.''

　The Demon King said and bowed his head in a theatrical manner. To Satie.

''Well then, Head Maid Lord, would you mind joining me for some shopping?''

　If the great demon king under the heavens has such an attitude, Sati, a maid, will be in trouble.

　Satie looks at me as if seeking salvation.
　Well, I can't give you much advice because I'm in trouble too, but I had no choice but to say this.

''Well then, let's go, head maid.

　Hearing those words, Sati turned red to her ears and said

'Master's tease!

　Satie wasn't often angry, but even when she was angry, she was quite cute.
