18 – Become the 7 Lords(2)

“Sorry. You showed me what I couldn’t see because of one insect.”

Dermian looked at me with a worried face as if he had contracted the virus.

“It’s okay.”

From noble mtl dot com

He said nonchalantly, as if he didn’t care.

Life is precious.

However, not all are the same.

He’s worse than a bug, and he’s cheap even if he dies.

Because of that, it was rather refreshing.

“The garden is ruined. Get rid of it.”

As Dermian beckoned, one of the attendants hurriedly ran and began to remove the chilly corpse.

“Move.”

It wasn’t a very pleasant scene, so I looked away and said.

Then, all of a sudden, I met eyes with a child and an old man who were sitting on the floor.

They look down with frightened faces.

“Heal them both.”

“Okay.”

Dermian approaches the two and extends his hand.

As the green light hovers, their wounds heal one by one.

“… Go, thank you—!”

“You don’t have to thank me. It is the will of the Supreme Being over there.”

They looked at me with impressed expressions.

Is that it?

There is a proverb that says that a bear is a bear, and a doenom is earning.

I wasn’t feeling too bad.

“Everyone has been cured. Is there anything else you want me to do?”

“No. Do not move.”

“Okay.”

So we moved again along the stone road.

Then, at this point, someone will be curious.

Why didn’t you release those two?

The answer is simple.

Just because I help them doesn’t make their lives any better.

There won’t be a time to go back right away, but if you go out shyly, you could ruin their lives.

So, it was the best way to keep the proper line to help.

**

“Over there are wheat fields and vegetable fields. In order to make the meal eaten by the monarch as fresh as possible, we grow it ourselves and put it on the table.”

We arrived at the field behind the castle before we knew it.

However, the condition is very strange.

‘What?’

The field is rotten and ruined, and the guy who manages the field is sitting in his chair and blowing his nose.

“Aide.”

“Yes.”

“To your eyes, does that look fresh?”

He said with an absurd expression.

It’s almost like the food I ate earlier is coming up to my table.

“Sorry. Don’t you like the wheat fields that have been entrusted to the best experts?”

“That’s the best expert?”

No matter how you look at it, he looked stupid.

Judging by the color of his skin, it seems certain that he is a demon.

“Sorry. I’ll check right away.”

“No, I will check.”

It was the food I would eat in the future.

I can’t entrust this to you.

I walked over to the janitor.

Looking closer, he was digging his nose out and tossing it at the crops.

At the same time, one of the crops that was fine immediately rots away.

‘Such a crazy bastard!’

I hit him hard on the head.

“?”

He turned around with a stupid face.

Then, his face became contemplative and he jumped up.

“Gu, gu, gu, meet the monarch-! What are you doing here!”

“I heard that you are the best expert in managing fields. Am I right?”

“That’s right-! We are still doing our best to keep it in top condition!”

‘Do your best?’

A bastard who throws at the crops while digging his nose?

You can’t.

I turned my head and looked at Dermian.

It was the signal to kill him.

However, Dermian is smiling with a satisfied face.

‘?’

At that time, a game setting suddenly came to my mind.

Come to think of it, it was said that low-level demons were as intelligent as chimpanzees.

[LV. 55]

It was clear when I saw the guy in front of me.

He sighed and opened his mouth.

“Why are you managing the crops of the human world? I’m sure humans would do better.”

“Will people without power manage crops properly? This is what strong demons do, hahahaha!”

As he said that, he put on a proud expression.

Only then did I understand the whole situation.

His intelligence is so low that he really thinks of himself as an expert.

Dermian Didn’t know about this fact and didn’t know how to grow crops for humans.

It was clear that he believed this guy’s word as an expert.

“Dermian.”

“Yes.”

“From now on, all food on the field and on my table will be managed by humans. Demons should not interfere at all. Got it?”

“… All right.”

Only the outside of the castle is fine, but the inside is complete sh*t.

At least, I almost ate whatever they gave me without knowing anything.

“So, is that a cutting sword?”

The demon asked so innocently.

I shook my head and said.

“It’s a promotion. You go to the quarry and help the humans.”

“Are you talking about promotion?! I will do my best-!”

He smiled brightly.

His pure laughter shines.

‘Even though he’s stupid, he’s kind.’

At the same time, the clothes went up.

I was in a good mood because of what happened earlier, but it felt like a breath of fresh air.

It was then.

“Gerard—!”

“My lord! Avoid!”

I heard the urgent cries of Dermian and Seina.

When I turn my head slightly, a fire pit the size of a rock is flying in front of my eyes.

-Fur Eok!

Of course nothing happened.

The fire hit my face and dissipated.

“Are you all right—?!”

Dermian approached me in the blink of an eye.

“It’s nothing. Rather, what happened?”

I said in a voice full of anticipation.

The fact that the attack came right now in the monarchy.

I was saying that the warriors might be moving faster than I thought.

“Rose and Marie are twins.”

“Rose, Marie?”

It was a familiar name.

No, I can’t know.

Because these two were ranked in the top 3 named monsters I don’t want to deal with even in the Death Knight universe.

“Yes, I just happen to be on my way there.”

Looking at the direction Deremian pointed, twins with different hair colors were slowly descending from the sky.

“My lord, are you okay?”

“Are you okay?”

‘… They were here.’

Originally, the 7th Corps would have been disbanded, and it would have been assigned to another lord.

Apparently, since I became a monarch, the story has changed a bit.

“I apologize instead. My lord, they are still children and have not learned basic etiquette. Now, you guys should go ahead and apologize.”

“Sorry….”

“Sorry.”

Dermian forced the two of them to bow their heads.

Then, the two meet eyes.

“… This is all sh*t Why do I miss the Spike Smasher with my whole body?”

“No! It’s Rose. Why do you blow spikes there? The monarch almost got hurt.”

“No? The monarch is not hurt. You are strong.”

“Then, nothing happened. There is no need to apologize.”

“Sure.”

– Boom!

Dermian, who was watching, hit the two heads with honey chestnuts.

It was a honey chestnut, but it was so powerful that it dented the floor.

I said with a sigh.

“So. Did you guys just play ball with that fire pit?”

“Yes… No, yes.”

“Right.”

That was crazy.

At first glance, that fire pit.

It is magic with at least 5 circles.

You played ball with it?

Also near the castle of the 7 lords?

“Huh.”

My crisis detection sensor works strongly.

It was a total big deal.

Castle of the Seven Lords…

.

.

.

It’s a total piece of sh*t.

“Listen carefully. From now on, the use of magic is strictly prohibited around the castle. Did you understand?”

“Yes….”

“Okay….”

The two twins replied grimly.

I looked at Dermian and opened my mouth.

“Dermian.”

“Yes.”

I can’t live here like this.

If you don’t like the temple, it’s true that you should leave, but since you don’t want to leave, you have to change temples.

“Within an hour, write down the province’s division of labor, administration, finances, discipline, and other things and bring it to me.”

I can’t believe the demons.

I had to look at it with my own two eyes and manage it.

The 7 Lords Castle needs to be greatly reorganized.

**

“Okay, let’s go out.”

“Good job.”

Dermian carefully closed the door to the office.

He had completed his delivery by clearly recording what the seven lords had said earlier.

‘You’re a fun person.’

He thought as he walked down the ornate hallway.

It is unprecedented in the history of the demons that a human has become a monarch.

Because of that, I couldn’t help but have doubts.

Will this man be able to fulfill the role of a monarch?

Is it right to swear allegiance and serve as an assistant?

So, he carefully observed the Seven Lords today.

Of course, I was curious about the character of the newly appointed monarch, as well as what kind of person he was personally.

Besides, he’s been asked to do things personally.

“Are you here?”

Dermian stopped by the window and bowed his head.

There, a crow is opening its mouth as if waiting for it.

From noble mtl dot com

-Dermian How are you? In the meantime, he must have worked hard to act as acting monarch.

“No. It was something I had to do.”

– You don’t have to be too formal.

“I am comfortable with this.”

-You’re still a boring guy. So what did I want to know?

Dermian put a smile on his lips as if he was having fun just thinking about it.

“He is the one who has the wisdom of all people. I told you that you don’t have to do anything, but less than two hours have passed since you took office, and you are reviewing and correcting internal problems yourself.”

-Oh, is it?

“Besides, like you said, he was a very strong person. Because he blocked the twins’ magic, which was reputed to be powerful, without lifting a finger.”

Dermian didn’t hold back his praise as if he was admiring just thinking about what happened earlier.

-It’s not fun, it’s just the way it looks. It might be a bit of a stretch, and that’s it. By the way, is that all?

Hearing those words, Dermian looked around him, confirmed that no one was there, and carefully opened his mouth.

“I don’t know yet. I don’t know why someone so capable would think he would betray.”

-Huh, is it just a feeling? Anyway, I get it. Stay tuned. See you next time

“Okay. Rest in peace.”

Dermian lowered his head, and a crow flew out of the window.

“… I hope this monarch lasts for a long time.”
