Isekai Shoukan wa Nidome Desu

A.N.

Is that guy gay or something! Was the impression of ten percent of you guys. Im seriously considering adding the BL-tag. Would it be safe if the guy becomes a trap? Is what Ive been thinking to myself

When Ruri said she wanted a store, Desas thought for a while and easily approved of it.

I see, so you wish for a store. If its just that then suppose I can arrange it; however, mine authority is only effective within Evil Barrow. A place like the human continent is naturally impossible as well as the castle and outside the castle town. Would that still be fine with you?

I dont have any objections. Please arrange it under those conditions.

I understand. Also, its about the size though

In that case I would like to have a stall.

Eh?

Hearing that, Desas left her mouth open. Even I was surprised, because I just thought for sure that a large shop is what she clearly wanted.

Even if what she wanted wasnt a large shop, stalls were the smallest shops in this world. If you talk about its use, it would be at the extent of restaurants setting up food samples to serve as advertisement for their cuisine.

The truth is that I do want a large store, but I still lack experience and Im not an adult yet like Mister Setsu mentioned. Thats why, even if I receive a large store, I think it would be too much for me to manage it.

Upon hearing that, Desas and I showed a So thats how it is kind of face. If the shop is large, it wont be just large, but the management of it will be harder for sure. In that respect, a stall should be sufficient for even Ruri to handle.

I have acknowledged the matter of the stall however, what in the world will you be selling? I dont think you can sell decent articles though

About that I have a small request to ask of you mister Setsu

While Ruri said that, she looked this way. Is she going to sell the merchandises she will request from me? I cant think of anything in particular though

Actually I want to try selling the deep fried food you have made, mister Setsu.

And so.

Mix the potato and the minced meat and add the bread crumbs to it, then add it to the oil and ta-dah! You got that?

Ye, yes I do! I can somehow understand this!

Today Im in the kitchen of the demon kings castle together with Ruri. I think Ruris idea to sell deep-fried food is quite a great idea. In that case it can sell well in a stall and its suitable for after school students to buy and eat them easily. It doesnt seem like you can earn a large profit, but you will likely be able to get a steady income with this. Well, Im a novice at commerce so I dont understand and all, but I guess its a safe bet since the one who can see whether things can sell well or not, the sole merchants daughter Ruri said so.

Then, if it becomes kind of this colour, take it out the oil in a flash. Alright, this ones good. Hey, its done! Here, take it!

Yes sir, right away!

I put the croquette I took out on a dish and handed it over to the waiter who is waiting for instructions.

Even so, what an amazing dexterity do you have making a dozens of portions in the blink of an eye

We aint done yet I tell ya! Hey Ruri, you come help me out too! Were not done making them you know!

Ah, okay!

I took out the chicken meat which is fried in another pot. This food is the so-called chicken cutlet.

Right now the demon lords castle is holding a simple party and the cooking duty is once again entrusted to me. When I was just thinking I guess theyre going to ask me in the end, by no means did I expect it to become a mess where I have to make enough for all the members in the demon lords castle Well, I can teach Ruri in making deep-fried food at the same time, so it wasnt a bad job if its done for her sake.

It would be nice if we could have Setsu constantly make them like this

That is impossible for him for the time being.

I have to visit the beastmen continent after all and then I plan to go and pick up Yuuhi in the human continent.

Well, once everythings over I can go out with you for a bit though

You, you really can!?

Ruri bit on my words harder than I expected. The oil is going to splatter you know, pay attention.

Lets make you prosper by that time okay? Else it wont be worth helping you out after all.

Ah, yes! Of course! Running a shop together with mister Setsu fufu

While Ruri is frying croquettes, she is blushing happily. Im not so much of a person you should be glad with though

Oh this ones also done. Sorry Ruri, but take this one please

Ah, okay! I will take it!

I put the chicken cutlets on the plate properly and handed it over to Ruri. I then moved to the pan with the croquettes, substituting Ruri who left the kitchen.

Im sorry that it gets in the way of her fried food practice, but those bunches who are getting excited right now dont really want to eat cold food. Well, I wonder if the fried food this time are done well or not.

When I was waiting for the croquettes to finish frying, I noticed Desas entering the kitchen. Because it looks strange for the demon lord to come to this kind of place, the cooks whom I asked to be an assistant opened their eyes widely.

Setsu, Im sorry for entrusting you with the cooking originally I wanted you to do take it leisurely, but

Its fine, really. Well, its troublesome though. Still, you guys eating and saying its delicious is it honestly makes me happy.

I see It has been a long time for me as well, so Ive already eaten one dish of Setsus croquette

Youll become fat, you know

Ugh Im doing exercises, so I will be all right

When I warned her in a straightforward way, she started rubbing her stomach while looking down. Its amazingly lean. Wouldnt it be fine if she has a bit more meat on it is what I thought, but I wonder; do only girls understand the reason they dislike the extra meat?

So what is it? I wont allow you to steal some food you know?

Thats not why Im here! There is something I want to talk about with you, you see

Oops, looks like it was a serious conversation. I stopped with the teasing and stopped pouring magic to the fire magic stone in the stove Im working on. When I confirmed that the fire stopped, I asked the cooks to take care of the cooking for a while.

What do you want to talk about?

With Setsu returned here, we no longer have any reason to seek vengeance towards the human country. So I will be calling back the group responsible for attacking the human country in person, but

Isnt that what the human country is aiming for, is that what youre thinking?

Right, you do understand that well.

I heard from Eruka that the human country is considering using this war to attack both the demon continent and beastmen continent again. If thats the case, then Im sure it wont be strange for them to aim for the moment they withdraw. Its because they will be fighting near their own territory and their opponent is turning their backs on them after all.

Those people, they will see this opportunity to come steal our territory again. If you see it that way, you can understand one side of the current defensive battle.

Really Your opponent isnt attacking?

Yes, theyre constantly on the defense. Thanks to that there are no damage done on our side, but we could hardly deal any damage to the other side as well. Weve continued fighting for a considerable time, but the gate not being open until this very day is the proof of it. I cant send out reinforcements carelessly, because there is too little movement on the other side. I periodically send off a ship with troops, taking turns with a ship full of expired foodstuff among other things Im doing.*

That theyre not moving is ominous, really. Pulling back the soldiers she mentioned looks like a pain as well.

If its about withdrawing them, isnt there only one choice which is to draw them back while sending reinforcements to protect them?

I also think that method is the only choice well, in any case we have to inform the beastmen continent of Setsus return dont we? Even if my troops are pulled back, the beastmen troops will remain

Yeah So, shall I go to the beastmen continent right away then?

I wouldve liked it if you to took it more leisurely though

Desas says so while making a lonely expression. With just that she loses the most of the majesty of a demon lord. At times like this, the best thing to do is to stroke her head for now.

Ah You, are you not giving me the same treatment as Ruri?

Right now youre the same as her you know? Well, you just wait okay? I have to show my face to the other guys, but once the war ends, Ill take it very slowly.

Desas looks unhappy from being treated as a child, but her mood returned after hearing the last part of my words,.

That is right, information came in about the heroes who were summoned along with you.

Oh?

I dont really have much interest in that, but I wonder; how much of a prodigy are they becoming? Only their abilities are outrageous after all, those guys.

Im told that one Hero who does not possess a sacred sword seems to be towering above the rest of the current Heroes.

They didnt possess the sacred sword?

So when it comes to talented people, there are those above Kouma? As far as I can remember, his Excalibur type doesnt really look strong compared to the sacred swords Ive checked up until now. However, wielders of a sacred sword get outrageous statuses on its own, it shouldnt be easy at all for capable people to becomebetter than a wielder of a sacred sword

This is information procured from an informant in Destinea, but I have heard of a girl who use an orange colored fire magic. I believe her nickname is the ?

Setting sunOrange?

Aah her.

Do you know this person? Nevertheless, hearing that she exceeded a wielder of a sacred sword, we cant make light of her. We should be thoroughly vigilant of

No, shes fine, because right now she should be receiving coaching from Eruka.

I see, from that ice woman. In other words she is your comrade, is that correct?

Yeah, thats how it is.

Be that as it may, Yuuhi weve only been apart for a few days, you know how much have your abilities increased in this short time, this childhood friend of mine.

Be careful though okay? The heroes summoned with me can become a decent war potential after all. This war can be overturned if youre being careless, you know.

I shall take your advice to heart. HoweverThey wont be like that person would they?

that guy is special.

What Im reminded of is the smile of that gender fraud of a shitty Hero. Even if I know he isnt in this world anymore, it feels like Im constantly being watched. That guys existence is that deeply ingrained within me as a trauma.

No He did become a companion, but well, I mean, Its because hes a guy whosdangerousin various ways

I understand your pain.

No, stop Desas. A woman like you isnt supposed to understand that.

If its from the same sex, then I too havewell

Thanks Desas, youre someone who understands me

Thats right, Desas is also beautiful of course. I bet there are many who approach her calling her elder sister and such. My bad for acting like that. Let me cherish her with my whole life. And then have her cherish me. That way we can support each other.

But I wonder why though? I end up feeling like that guy, who Ive dealt with with my own hands, is still aiming for me like I feel that his terror hasnt ended yet

Hey Setsu? Youre staring you know?

Im all right Im supposed to be all right

If that guy was at least a woman Would I not be feeling this terrified then, I wonder.

Aaargh! No more! This conversation is over! Anyway, Im leave this castle the day after tomorrow! End of story!

Wha, wait! Is that not too sudden!?

Ive made up my mind now so shut up!

At any rate I want to forget that smile now. If I can think about something else.

I would have wanted you to take a few more days though

well, that might drag on and on forever you see.

If it becomes too comfortable for me, I wont be able to leave until I die. I also want to quickly see the faces of those guys in the beastmen continent. Desas kept a unhappy face for a while, but she eventually consented in the end.

I guess that is also true. If possible please come back quickly. Wont Iwont I be lonely

Okay

So theres this person here whos calling herself lonely while fidgeting embarrassingly. What is this cute creature, even though shes a demon lord.

Thus Ive decided on my departure schedule.

However, the me at the time didnt know that the guy who became this much of a trauma to me

and I will meet once again.

A.N.

Next chapter, Setsu departs.

Its probably fast, but I will temporarily put the demon continent on hold. Because the next time will be a considerably major story, I will do about this much for the first time.

In addition, by no means did Setsu kill Touma because of him experiencing danger to himself. There is a perfectly serious reason for this. Just to be sure.

T.N.

*I didnt quite understand the last part of the last sentence, specifically
