Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager Chapter 307

 Small half of the Demon Realm was covered in heavy snow.

 The sky is completely white.

Looking at the scene of snow falling in the sky on the Demon King's Castle, the air that Xia Mi exhaled from his mouth quickly turned into white air and dissipated in the air.

After the skeleton incident came to an end - although Xia Mi couldn't figure out whether he was a pervert in the end, in any case, he had immediately controlled the relevant parties and suppressed the negative impact this incident would have on the Demon King. Minimum. — Xia Mi is back on track, busy with the demon clan affairs.

“The year is coming to an end. It's time to take a big inventory of the demon clan, check the situation of each tribe, and then hold an annual summary meeting. Only by knowing the true situation of the demon clan can we make plans for the next year.”

Xia Mi murmured to himself, and behind him, the skeleton quietly approached.

“Lord Xia Mi, Christmas is coming soon. Do we demons need to celebrate this holiday like humans?”

Xia Mi turned to look at the skeleton wearing a maid uniform, with a complicated expression.

Although he used the [Item·Fish and Bone Resurrection Broken Jade] to restore the skeleton to his body, it is [Broken Jade] after all and cannot maintain the physical state forever, and will return to the skeleton state from time to time.

  It is necessary to find one more [Remnant Jade] and feed it into the skeleton's mouth so that she can maintain her physical form forever.

Now, after seeing the real pink-haired girl with a skeleton, Xia Mi always feels a little awkward and uncomfortable when seeing the skeleton form again.

  Christmas is the most important holiday in this world. The entire continent of Ireland, regardless of the kingdom's race, will enthusiastically celebrate this day that comes in winter. Even two kingdoms that are at war will cease fighting on this day, and soldiers from both sides will celebrate the festival together on the battlefield.

“Skeleton, think about it, why does Christmas appear?” Xia Mi asked deeply, with his hands behind his back.

"Um…"

 The skeleton was quiet for a while.

“I don't seem to know...Anyway, everyone has had the habit of celebrating this festival since the beginning of written records, and it has been continued ever since.”

“Right~ This festival is completely inconsistent with the world's worldview. Even if it is celebrated, it is still celebrating the birthday of the goddess of magic. This is obviously a cultural invasion by mysterious Western forces from outside the world.”

 “What should we do?”

 The skeleton was described by Xia Mi in a confused way.

"Of course the demons have to celebrate their own festivals!" Xia Mi clenched his fists and said in admiration, "For example, the day when I was first wanted by Fata could be set as the birth day of the demons..."

 “But that will all happen in March next year.”

The skeleton murmured and suddenly thought of something.

“Oh, but the Minotaur tribe proposed not long ago that Miss Lulea's birthday should be designated as the Demon Clan's Faith Day. As the most important festival of the Demon Clan, if the date is within the next few days, it will be just in time.”

Xia Mi raised his eyebrows.

 It is also a flat golden retriever.

In this demon clan, is he the demon king or is the golden retriever the demon king? He is the one who will be chased and beaten by the heroes in the future.

“No, the establishment of demon festivals still needs to be carefully considered.”

Xia Mi raised his hand and thought for a while, not wanting the flat golden hair to crush him, so he changed his mind.

“Everyone from the Demon Clan hasn't gotten together for a long time. Since Christmas is an important continental festival, let's celebrate Christmas together with the Demon Clan. Let's give everyone a day off and have a good rest.”

 Skeleton took out a small notebook and wrote down Xia Mi's words.

“Sir Xia Mi, Christmas Day is a Friday. Maybe we can adjust the day off. Friday and Sunday will be adjusted, Friday will be a holiday, and Sunday will make up the working day.”

“That doesn't mean you don't have a holiday at all! Skeleton, you'd better be careful about lighting the street lights in the Demon Realm.”

I discussed with the skeleton for a while and roughly finalized the Christmas matters.

During the conversation, Xia Mi suddenly felt a little melancholy.

“In addition to the fireworks event, let's have a fireworks party near the Demon King's Castle.”

“But you don't set off fireworks on Christmas, Mr. Xia Mi.”

 The skeleton is confused.

Xia Mi sighed.

"It is true that setting off fireworks is not a Christmas custom. I just moved the custom of a missed holiday to Christmas to celebrate. After all, in my hometown, the most important festival does not even set off fireworks, and the festive atmosphere is not as good as Christmas. Root hairs.”

"I understand." The skeleton quickly recorded it, and then repeated it again. Xia Mi felt that there was no problem, so the skeleton slightly bent over and stepped back.

 “Then I'll go get ready first.”

"Um."

Xia Mi watched the skeleton walk away from the corner of his eye, feeling a little wary.

After the [Skeleton Frame Incident], Xia Mi was a little embarrassed when he met the Skeleton Frame. He planned to transfer the Skeleton Frame out of the Demon King's City to avoid suspicion.

 The four magic envoys also held a small meeting about this, and the result was: it is not necessary.

'If Xia Mi can still have that kind of thing with the skeleton when he is awake, then this kind of demon king and demon envoy can take his place. This kind of big abnormality will only lead to the destruction of the demon clan. From now on, the demon king can simply be the subordinate of the demon envoy. Dog, the demon clan is ruled by four demon envoys. '

 The four girls inexplicably reached this agreement without Xia Mi's consent.

In the next two days, the skeleton returned to the Skeleton Tribe to deal with matters. After not returning to the Demon King's City for two consecutive days, Xia Mi discovered a more urgent reality.

The Demon King's Castle almost stopped functioning due to the absence of the skeleton!

  Because the logistics of Demon King City were basically handled by skeleton soldiers. After the skeleton left, these skeleton soldiers were leaderless for a while, causing Demon King City to stand still for a while. It was not until Xia Mi reissued the order that everything returned to normal.

After missing the skeleton around him during those two days, Xia Mi also noticed some inconvenience when he started working.

At the beginning of the construction of Demon King City, Demon King City needed manpower in many aspects. The four demon envoys were in school, and Xia Mi found the most idle skeleton among the demon clan to serve as the housekeeper of Demon King City.

 But later, due to a series of inexplicable events, the skeleton became a maid and a bed warmer again.

At the same time, he often stayed by Xia Mi's side, doing the work of conveying the Demon King's instructions to the Demon Realm. Skeleton also became the Demon King's personal assistant.

Time has come to now. Although she wears a maid outfit every day, her skeleton is actually more like the powerful butler of the Demon King's City.

 Therefore, after the [Skeleton Incident], Xia Mi thought about it and kept the original position of the Skeleton.

 The skeleton still serves as the chief maid of the Demon King's Castle, the housekeeper of the Demon King's Castle, the Demon King's personal secretary, the bed-warming tool and skeleton model of the Demon King's bedroom.

“Wait a minute, I counted carefully, Skeleton has taken on too many positions by himself! It feels like Skeleton knows the Demon King's City better than me now!”

Xia Mi frowned, realizing that if this continued, the skeleton would sooner or later empty the Demon King's city.

 At that time, the power controlled by the skeleton may expand infinitely, conflict with the power of the demon, and reach the point where it can be deceived and concealed, and a series of horrific events will occur.

 Although the Skeleton's current loyalty to Xia Mi is [99], the future is always full of uncertainty.

Xia Mi's face was solemn.

"It has appeared. The power structure and power struggle within the Demon King's City have begun to take shape. The Demon King must eliminate this bad future in the present."

Xia Mi thought for a moment and came up with a good solution.

 That's right!

 Separation of powers and checks and balances!

 Divide some of the current responsibilities of the skeleton to achieve decentralization and checks and balances.

Xia Mi first thought of four magic envoys.

 But obviously, none of the four magic envoys are available at the moment.

Moreover, letting the Demon Envoy do such things as maintaining the operation of the Demon King's City is quite overkill.

The butler of Demon King's Castle is important, but after all, he only manages the housekeeping service of a castle.

The Demon Envoy is the second-in-command of the Demon Clan only under the Demon King. He needs to face major events from the outside, such as fighting brave men, destroying adventure groups, etc.

“Besides, the job of a housekeeper in Demon King City is the same every day. What is needed is a patient person. Those idiots will definitely complain after two days of fresh work.”

Xia Mi muttered, searching for suitable characters in his brain. Soon, a figure who always spoke in a low voice appeared in his mind.

 Xia Mi raised the corners of his mouth.

 Not long.

 A black quill was escorted by a slime to the Demon King's City. Xia Mi grabbed the pen and walked into the Demon King's City. He placed the pen on a decorative table with a vase in the lobby on the first floor.

 “Come out, Wen Li.”

 Xia Mi stared at the black pen.

After a moment of silence, a girl with chestnut hair tied into twin tails and freckles on both sides of her cheeks, A Piao, appeared and floated in front of Xia Mi.

"Sir Xia Mi...what do you want from me?"

The suitable candidate Xia Mi found was the twin-tailed ghost Wenli.

"Is such that."

Xia Mi pulled the skeleton beside him.

"The Demon King attaches great importance to the survival of the Ghost Tribe in the Demon Realm. Considering that the Ghost Tribe so far does not have a commissioner responsible for the connection between the Demon King City and the Ghost Valley, I plan to let Wen Li take on this job. And the Demon King City There also needs to be ghosts. From now on, Wen Li will work in the Demon King's City to help share the work of the skeleton."

Xia Mi said, his skeleton raised his head excitedly.

"Sir Xia Mi, do you finally know that I am doing five or six jobs by myself now! If this continues, I feel like I will become the boss of the Demon King's City."

Xia Mi coughed awkwardly.

 Because we know it, we are decentralizing power.

"Welcome to you Wen Li, you will also be the housekeeper of Demon King City from now on."

“Hey! I just arrived not long ago! And I'm not familiar with the Demon King's Castle at all.”

Wen Li, who had only been to the Demon King's City once or twice, looked around with fearful eyes, and her two ponytails lost energy.

"Don't worry. I will teach you step by step. At the same time, I will also be by your side as the head maid of the Demon King's Castle." The skeleton comforted you. Xia Mi frowned. Why is the profession of head maid more attractive than that of housekeeper?

“Skeleton, if you dare to teach Wen Li your silk stocking culture and mislead the younger generation, just wait to be divided into different pits.”

Xia Mi warned in advance.

"Eh!"

 The skeleton was disappointed.

　　Twin-tailed Apiao shivered when she heard that she was going to be thrown into the pit if she didn't do well, and her skeleton quickly grabbed Wen Li to prevent her from hiding in the black pen.

"Wen Li, this is a rare opportunity for promotion. Think about your fellow ghost tribe members. If there is no tribal representative in Demon King City, that tribe will easily be forgotten in the corner. Look at the jelly, how long have it been picked? Cotton has never appeared!"

 “Yes, but...”

 Skeleton and Double Ponytail Ah Piao started to argue.

Xia Mi watched this scene silently, and he found that the skeleton had no idea of ​​seeking power at all.

However, since it has been done, let's implement it and treat it as sharing the work with the skeleton.

 Skeletons Nowadays, one person has multiple roles, and there is no time to develop the skeleton clan.

"Then, I'll try my best...if I don't do well, please don't blame me..." Wen Li shrank her shoulders and looked at Xia Mi.

Xia Mi smiled and rubbed Wen Li's head with his hand.

 “This will be your home from now on, Wen Li.”

　　The touching expression ripples on the little face of the ghost with twin ponytails.

"Um!"

 Finally, Twin Ponytails successfully joined the job, became a trainee maid in the Demon King's Castle, and put on a maid uniform.

 “Why do you dress the ghost in such a thing?”

“Because every position has to start from a young age, how could Wen Li be made a housekeeper who knows the inside and outside of the Demon King's city all at once?”

 The skeleton is clear and logical.

Xia Mi breathed his last and decided not to care.

There is no normal person in the Demon King's City.

 “Woohoo~Christmas~”

Within an hour after Xia Mi announced that the demons would also celebrate Christmas, and the news spread throughout the demon realm, the elf girl was the first to return to the demon king's city.

Xia Mi stared at the flat golden retriever coming out of the portal.

 The flat golden retriever took a step back in fear, placing his two little hands innocently in front of him.

 “Why, let's agree on a Christmas holiday!”

 “If you are so active at work, the boss will be very happy.”

Xia Mi didn't have time to mess around with the flat golden retriever, because the dragon girl and the magic girl also came back one after another.

 The one who came back first was the dragon girl. The dragon girl's portal opened right opposite Xia Mi.

As soon as she saw Xia Mi, the dragon girl opened her hands and ran towards Xia Mi through the portal, planning to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak away.

 "Xia Mi~! (*^▽^*)—Lureya! (｀Д)!!"

Halfway through the run, she noticed the golden-haired girl looking at her quietly. She quickly braked, her face was sweating, her brain was working rapidly, and she turned around and ran towards the golden-haired girl at a very fast speed.

 Two girls hugged each other.

"Obviously you just went to hug Xia Mi!"

 “The person I want to hug is you.”

After a moment, the magical girl also walked out of the portal. She glanced at Xia Mi lightly, then took off the black cloak and handed it to Xia Mi.

 “It seems a little dirty, please wash it for me.”

Xia Mi frowned. Why does it feel like a house-husband welcoming a strong woman who works hard outside to come home?

But considering that magical girls are the providers of protective shields for the entire demonic realm.

 Xia Mi took a deep breath.

 I endured it.

Golden Hair and White Hair came over. The three of them chatted for a while, then passed Xia Mi and walked straight back to the Demon King's City.

  Entering the door, I took off my black leather shoes and lunch box, my over-the-knee boots lunch box, and my elf short boots lunch box. I stepped on the warm floor with my three pairs of little feet wrapped in warm stockings, and walked into the Demon King's Castle as if I was home.

 “Let's go to the hot springs later.”

“Hmm. I brought back some snacks from San Carno. Do you want to try them?”

"want!"

“You guys should come and help too! Don't be like that bad boy who does nothing when you get home from vacation. The demons don't raise idle people!”

 Xia Mi quickly issued a warning.

 【Christmas Preparation Card】successfully issued.

The three demons were pulled out of the Demon King's City by Xia Mi, and they started preparing for Christmas with the preparation cards.

“Old Mr. Wisteria Tree, I'm short of a Christmas tree now, do you think you can play the part? You're quite big, and if you cut it properly, you'd be a good Christmas tree.”

　　【Miss Lulea, you are an elf, right... It's hard to imagine that such vicious words would come out of your mouth... If you want to kill me, just say so...】

 “How fragile, dryad.”

The elf girl holding a large scissors in one hand and a Christmas planning book in the other sighed.

“If it's a tree spirit, it will grow out next spring.”

 The old branches of the wisteria tree trembled. Even a young tree spirit cannot bear this kind of torture. Wisteria trees and Christmas trees are two completely different tree species.

　　【Yes, is it Sir Xia Mi who wants me to die? Similar to the gift of poisonous wine and cough...]

"There is no such thing! Consider that others are already old guys, flat golden retriever! Don't be lazy and go to the woods to find a Christmas tree for me!"

“Prepare turkeys... turkeys, creatures that look like peacocks... they look similar to penguins... If you don't have turkeys, use frost penguins instead.”

The magical girl looked at the planning card, muttered for a while, and used flying magic to go straight to the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

 "How similar are turkeys and penguins? Change your habit of abusing small animals, Sai Li!"

Xia Mi's eyes twitched.

“The spike trap is placed inside the chimney. If Santa Claus comes here to steal the gold, he will never come back!”

 “Elze!!”

Xia Mi, who was dealing with the political affairs of the demon clan, found that the festival plan, which had been prepared in an orderly manner just now, suddenly became strange after three demons joined in, shouting the names of the demons.

Just as he was preparing to save the demon clan's Christmas, suddenly an urgent voice came, and Xia Mi was unable to do anything.

 “Xia Mi, help!”

 A portal opened, and the white-haired girl with slightly messy white hair falling in front of her collarbone looked at Xia Mi imploringly.

 “Only you can save me now.”

"What happened?"

Xia Mi frowned in confusion, and the next moment he was pulled into the portal by Bai Mao.

 The Kingdom of Fes.

 Ili Village. There is already a Christmas atmosphere in the village.

There is a thin layer of snow falling in the sky, and a thumb-thick layer of snow is piled on the roofs of various huts in the village.

The roads inside and outside the village are full of people. Adventurers are coming in and out of the village, preparing to celebrate the festival, and there is a happy atmosphere all around.

Baimao took Xia Mi and hid outside the village.

"Xia Mi, do you remember what I told you before? My teacher discovered my identity."

 Xia Mi was very impressed. He also invited Bai Mao that night, but Bai Mao said that she was being chased by her teacher at the time.

 “Hmm. You mean that Haran, right?”

The woman who cuckolded the sword hero Shoukas, the woman who had a hidden secret with the previous Demon King Luwaka, Shami once had a chance encounter with this woman in the coastal city.

"Um."

Baimao nodded solemnly, took Xia Mi to a corner and looked into the village.

"Teacher Harlan is in the village now and wants to catch me. She seems to have noticed that I am nearby. She has been in the village for two or three days. I can't continue to work on the dungeon now."

Bai Mao Liu frowned. Following Bai Mao's gaze, Xia Mi also saw the woman wearing a luxurious black coat in front of the village bar.

After adventure groups poured into Yili Village, Yili Village quickly completed commercialization. In the original small village, various service shops appeared, including open-air bars. (End of chapter)
