Chapter 74


Ayla, the girls, and the goblins came after hearing the demon’s yell .


Until now, they seemed to have thought that the sounds of combat they heard were coming from my experiment .


The demon was still alive so when I told them not to approach, everyone became wary of me .


Why? When I thought about the dragon scales (such as the appearance), then, did they not realize it was me?


I then saw Ayla approach without caution when I tried to reveal my face .


“Ayla!? It’s dangerous you know!?” (Amy)


Ayla doesn’t seem to care even though Amy was naturally worried .


“It’s master and Ruby . ” (Ayla)


“Isn’t that right? Master?” (Ayla)


“A-ah, it’s me . You understood well . ” (Hibiki)


“I heard the sound of master even though the smell of two people were mixed in . ” (Ayla)


It seems she noticed me from the sound of my heart . (Darknari: for those who forgot Ayla is a Tigerkin)


The regeneration of the demon’s body is not yet over, but I feel it’s considerably slower compared to his regeneration from before .


[Damn, there is not enough magic power!!] (Raikoneru)


Apparently, magic power is necessary for regeneration . First, half of his body was carbonized; next, his whole body was scorched well-done; and lastly, half of his body was blown off again .


It can be said that just being alive is amazing enough . As expected, I guess this is the state called demons .


The regeneration doesn’t even advance at all now . Somehow, it looks like his life is not in a serious condition .


“So noisy! What is senpai bubblin’ about? Woah, what’s wit dat hero-like transformation!? Is dat you senpai?” (Yuuki)


[D-demon King-sama!?] (Raikoneru)


“Hm? I am certainly the Demon King but, who are you?” (Yuuki)


Though I felt that the demon was an acquaintance from his tone, it can’t be said that Yuuki is familiar with him .


[Did you forget!? I am one of the 48 Flame Demons of the Demon King’s Army, and the subordinate of Zarqfar-sama, Raikoneru Tajinaru Faigereshu…] (Raikoneru)


“Ah, You’re Zarqfar’s subordinate, eh? Why did someone like you come here?” (Yuuki)


[T-that’s, I have received a decree from Zarqfar-sama, so…] (Raikoneru)


The demon underling faltered .


By the way, I heard about the Demon King Army’s chain of command from Yuuki later on .


Demon King (1 person)


Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army (naturally it’s 4 people)


Demon Generals (12 people)


12 Demon Armies (1 army is lead by 1 demon general . There are 48 leaders per army . That demon’s superior, Zarqfar, belongs here) .


Elite Demons (Many, the demon this time belongs here)


Small fry Demons (Many, the demon that latched onto Evin belongs here) .


In other words, I have cornered a small fry demon . (Darknari: don’t ask me why the author put small fry in here)


This time, I was probably able to gain an overwhelming victory against the Elite Demon thanks to 【Fame】, the 【Scales of the Scorching Dragon】, and the Star Sword .


It looks like his direct superior ordered him to test me when the Demon King (Yuuki) was away, but he ended up having the tables turned on him .


[I-I am sorry . I met such an embarrassing defeat against a mere human . ] (Raikoneru)


The demon didn’t seem to think it was anything when he attacked me .


Well, it’s not weird to think that the Demon King also has the same intentions if there is an order to attack from his superior .


However, it is said that being defeated by a human is really shameful .


“Senpai, I am sorry . It seems my man is runnin’ around recklessly . ” (Yuuki)


“Why are the demons coming here?” (Hibiki)


“Err, de reason why I came here is becuz it has been decided to scoutcha, senpai . ” (Yuuki)


“Scout?” (Hibiki)


“Yeah, it doesn’t matter what race dey belong to . As long as dey have 【Dark Magic】, dey can be turned into a demon . Oh, but it doesn’t mean I’m gonna forcefully scout people . I have to properly obtain de person’s acknowledgement before turnin’ dem into a demon . ” (Yuuki)


It seems that in places that treated races, like Zir’s, as monsters and demons are really being scouted to turn into demons .



The fantasy-like but famous Dark Elves are elves who were turned into demons with 【Dark Magic】 .

“Den, dey can not forgive tings like de Demon King’s (my) invitation bein’ refused since I already came here several times!! Those fellows are like dat . ” (Yuuki)


“Like this guy?” (Hibiki)


I kick the demon who was prostrated at my feet for now .


“Yes, like dis guy . ” (Yuuki)


Yuuki also kicked him .


For now, the treatment of this demon that became docile is being decided with the presence of the Demon King (Yuuki) .


“Let’s make this fellow as the boiler for our bath . ” (Yuuki)


“Boiler?” (Hibiki)


At the moment, the villagers need to draw the water together whenever we want to enter the outdoor hot spring . After that, the goblin mage and I have to warm up the water .


It’s extraordinarily bothersome to do .


Since this demon can use 【Fire Magic】, we can solidify him with concrete and submerge him inside the wooden tub .


With this, hot water might be available for use at any time if the water is put in the wooden tub beforehand .


“However, how can we make use of his 【Fire Magic】?” (Hibiki)


“…wit’ 【Dark Magic】 you could use what de bosses in fantasies are usually able to use, isn’t dat right?” (Yuuki)


So, in a certain sense, the rule of right of [Brainwashing the enemy to use for our own convenience] is what will be carried out for this demon .


When the water enters the tub, we will brainwash him to use 【Fire Magic】 until it gets to a suitable temperature .


“Senpai, do you not wanna try brainwashin’ a cute girl?” (Yuuki)


“Then, next time, bring over a cute demon girl . ” (Hibiki)


Yuuki said “Uh-huh” . I’m kind of worried that a cute demon girl will appear before long .


However, right now let’s brainwash the prostrating demon .


After memorizing the 【Dark Magic】 for several hours, I can finally manage to use it thanks to the assistance of the Star Sword .


“Alright, that went well . ” (Hibiki)


[When water enters the tub, I will bear in mind to use 【Fire Magic】 until it gets to a suitable temperature . ] (Raikoneru)


The brainwashing went well . Afterwards we just need to cover him with concrete, but it looks like it isn’t necessary anymore .


“Oi, you are [Boiler] from today on . ” (Hibiki)


[My name is [Boiler], it is . ] (Raikoneru)


There is no need to put concrete at the moment, so using handcuffs will do for awhile . If he does something funny, let’s solidify him in concrete .


Well, even though the skill confirmation has unexpectedly ended-up in actual combat, it is said that there is no better precious experience than actual combat .


The fusion technique with Ruby was able to be worked out, so in conclusion it’s fine .


After the ruckus had been solved, it had already become lunch time . Zir, who had not woken up from the commotion, finally wakes up .


Since it’s special, let’s have lunch in the village square and introduce Sai and Yakuu to everyone .


“Um, this is Sai, an adventurer . He is a new companion who will live in this village in the future . Everyone, don’t bully him, okay?” (Hibiki)


“P-please take care of me . ” (Sai)


The goblins raised their voices in what might be agreement . With the increasing number of our companions, adding one or two more people will probably not pose any problems .


“Also, this girl is Yakuu . She is Sai’s younger sister . Sai might often be staying away from the village for business purposes, so please get along well with her . ” (Hibiki)


“Ah, u, nice to meet you all . ” (Yakuu)


Yakuu gives a greeting in a small voice while seeming almost to cry . The goblins welcome her with an applause .


The goblins immediately gather around Yakuu and begin to eat lunch . Yakuu looks to Sai and me asking for help .


“Oh, you’re quickly getting along . Good for you Yakuu . ” (Hibiki)


“Ni-nii-chan, help . ” (Yakuu)


“Alright, then I’ll also make friends with them!!”


After saying that, Sai tries to participate in the circle where Lalu, Musashi, and Hamon are taking their meal .


Apparently, he seems to have been accepted . Being friends with the Goblin commanders will be a plus for Sai’s work in the future .


Also, Yakuu as well is slowly being accustomed to the situation of being surrounded by Goblins, so she ate the previously prepared meal at a vigorous pace .


Somehow, she seems to have a desperate feeling, but I’m glad she is able to eat the meals prepared by the goblins .


“Well, Sai . I’ll tell you about your work . ” (Hibiki)


“Ah, that’s right . ” (Sai)


We’re sitting at the few chairs and tables which were prepared for the hasty meal in the square .


For the time being, his first job this time is [Goblin Transport] . I wish to have some flexibility in war potential .


“This time, the request is for an escort consisting of 20 people including Lalu and Musashi . ” (Hibiki)


“Lalu and Musashi, eh? Earlier we ate a meal together, but either of them have considerable strength . ” (Sai)


It seems he understood it just by eating with them . After all Sai is also a considerably powerful person .


For the goblins’ formation inside the forest, the core will constitute of swords and accompanied by two goblin mages .


One wagon will be prepared for the goblins’ luggage . The goblin mages who don’t have high physical strength will likely standby in the wagon .


Also, five goblin thieves will be arranged in the surroundings of the group to gather information for the escort unit .


I haven’t told this to the trading caravan, because I want to grasp all the information related to combat such as the enemies we will come in contact with .


During this time, I hear that there is also an escort other than the [Goblin Transport] that is included in this trial .


Well, I didn’t think that I would be trusted from the start .


Therefore, the charge is also a little cheap . Well, I don’t care about us being in the red this time .


“I’ll assign Lalu to scout around Bureto town . ” (Hibiki)


“Scout?” (Sai)


“Yeah . If the regular service goes well, we’ll be lacking in manpower soon . If the exchange with Bureto flourishes, the service will also increase . ” (Hibiki)


“I see, it’s fine if I just take charge of the baggage during the return trip, right?” (Sai)


“Yeah, it’s a waste since it’s a request from the Alchemist guild, but this time it can’t be helped . Next time onwards we will be asking for more information . ” (Hibiki)


“Got it . ” (Sai)


“Lastly, our goblins are my companions . Please treat them well . ” (Hibiki)


“Of course . It’s still only been a day, but being together with them affection has welled up . ” (Sai)


I believe there was no lie in Sai’s words and shook his hand .


“I’m counting on you, leader . ” (Hibiki)


“Haha, it’s my first time being a leader . ” (Sai)


I suppose I need to guide the Goblin force to be able to operate under Sai’s command after lunch .


I wonder if it will go well .
