Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants Chapter 37

The Demon King and I spoke about various things till late in the night.

In the beginning the Demon King also had hardships in succession.
First he wanted to solve the food problem with agricultural reform, but since the Ryujins were mainly carnivorous eating bugs and the like for livelihood, so making them produce grains was useless.

『Then reluctantly, I began apiculture and rhinoceros beetle culture.』

For a moment, I imagined the Demon King digging in the sawdust mountains wearing a straw hat.

『So then, at first it would have been difficult, right?』

Then the Demon King calmly nodded, and closed his eyes.

Although it’s fine to leave the minor details to the subordinates, he is one worrier person.

『But, thanks to that, I wast able to maketh the larva, which wast a high class ingredient, into commoner’s flavor. Since I wast able to supply high quality proteins consistently, I bethink it largely contributed to the Ryujins’ physique and health.』

『Next, reforming the breed of grasshopper, I wanteth to domesticate it to be used as meat. If it turns out well, Bartz would be happy.』
Even the Demon King is enjoying well enough.

The Demon King also taught many new techniques to the Ryujin races, but as expected he had a lot of difficulties.

Even if the way to use swords is one, there are differences with humans in minor things. Because the skeletal structure of shoulders and hands are subtly different.
『The culture and techniques of humans can’t be directly inherited by the demons as it is. Therefore, I hadst to changeth mine way of thinking.』

The Demon King, teaching only the basic techniques and general ideas to the ryujins, decided to watch over the Ryujins develop by themselves.

I don’t know if there were Computer Games in Demon King’s previous life, but he definitely is in the Strategy Game faction.

From the military aspect, the most troublesome thing was, not able to establish a common standard.

Ideally he wanted to make an army exceeding the boundaries of race, but for the time being he operated with units having single race.

Listening to those stories, I keenly felt the worrier personality of the Demon King.

Neither does he have any desire for any selfish benefits, nor he wish for respect or praise. He only wishes for the demons to live in peace.
It’s good that this person is the Demon King.

That’s why, for this damn serious Demon King, I think I will work harder.
As the Aide of Demon King.

Then a few days later.

“Here I proclaim that Ryun Height is independent from Mirarudia, and form an alliance with the Demon army.”

Human citizens and Palace Guards. Werewolves, Inujins, Ryujins. From the neighborhood towns, the Jinba race and Vampires have also gathered.

“Today, as Ryun Height’s Independence day, I would like to celebrate grandly! Everyone, let’s Eat, Drink and Sing!”
The cheers covered Airia’s voice.

The Viceroy of Ryun Height, Airia was bestowed with the title of ‘Demon Official’ by the Demon King… no, Demon King-sama. I heard that it has the significance of tying the Demons and Humans together.

Eh? Isn’t she more important than me?

Thinking about those things, when I was drinking the celebratory sake, the Demon Official Airia-sama came to me.

“Thank you very much, Vaito-dono.”

She, who was a hostage of Demon race until now, also is a splendid enemy of Humanity from today. If the Demon army is destroyed, then certainly she would receive the capital punishment.

If I fail, Airia is also fated to become like that.

owever Airia seemed to be fully aware of those things.

“That’s right. Do you regret it?”

“No, I am happy. Very.”
She really is one weird girl, grinning like that.

Continuing to smile, Airia said to me.

“Hmm, that’s right…”

Though not quite satisfactory, I too got promoted. Not in the third division, I became Aide in the first division. My immediate superior became the Demon King himself.

It’s fine, me being an Aide.

“Airia-dono is an appropriate person to guide the Humans, but it’s just right for a person like me to be just an Aide. Unmerited fame can ruin oneself.”

“No? I am not a person of your calibre.”

(TN: Here 器 (utsuwa) means both a vessel and calibre.)

Is it so? I realize that I became a personal confidant of the Demon King, but I don’t have any feeling as to how much important I have become in the Demon army.
Since the hierarchy of the Demon army is too vague, that I also don’t know.

Anyway, hereafter in collaboration with Airia, it has been decided to develop this frontier trade city into Demon army’s base, Demon Capital Ryun Height.

Joining hands with the human forces, we took the glorious first step on their map.

Looking up, on the Viceroy’s mansion, the flag of Demon army is fluttering.

“Ah. My best regards.”

“Leave it to me.”

With that question in my mind, I look towards Airia.
However, she was just joyfully laughing forever.
