I Was Reincarnated

Sei side

The demon G.o.d who I invited to the Guld festival, brought along his four slaves

The three are wearing clothes that a human in a high position would wear while the beastman child is wearing something different

The demon G.o.d is like usual, in black ankle length clothes, black veil, and black gloves

He takes out a sofa and the slaves also sit

The beastman child sits on top of his lap

"…..she"s wearing some different clothes, huh"

The child"s clothes are a type I"ve never seen before

"Isn"t it cute? ……don"t do anything though"

He said as if she were a treasure and hugged her closer

Why is the demon G.o.d so interested in her despite her being a beastman?

"There"s no guy who would take something from the demon G.o.d, right? Since nothing but death would await them"

The demon G.o.d said so from the beginning

Even the first bad guy he killed, I heard it was because he tried to steal the demon G.o.d"s carriage

"Hey, lend me your kitchen"

He"s already talking about something else

"Kitchen? What would you use such a place for?"

"For cooking, obviously"

The demon G.o.d said like he was amazed [at my stupid question]

Certainly, the kitchen is the place for cooking, however, no one would ever think of the demon G.o.d using it for such a purpose!

"……..demon G.o.d can cook!?"

The demon G.o.d stood up

It couldn"t be……the demon G.o.d will be making it himself?

Despite being the demon G.o.d who stands at the top in this world in terms of power?

"Alright, this should be good"

Before my eyes, the demon G.o.d"s clothes changed

(Just how out far outside the norm is he?)

I don"t know about such magic

The demon G.o.d is wrapped in white cook"s clothes and his hair is shortened and tied up at the back

His veil disappeared and his beautiful face was exposed

Such a beautiful cook, you wouldn"t be able to find anywhere

There are many people who are fascinated [by him]

I am one of them

"Lead the way"

"……A, aah [yea]"

When I was about to lead the way—

"Shin-sama, where are you going?"

The beastman child said so seeming anxious

The other three are also making anxious looking expressions

The demon G.o.d is probably their emotional foundation

"Wait, I"m going to make you a dessert"

"Day-zert?"

The child tilted her head

I also don"t understand the meaning

"You four wait here together. It"s fine to ignore the surrounding humans. Because the moment those guys touch you, their arms will be blown off"

The demon G.o.d seemed to say something dreadful as he walked behind, following my lead

The demon G.o.d arrived at the kitchen, and both I and the cooks there all froze in shock

The demon G.o.d began to skillfully cook

However, I don"t know what he was making

(Speaking of which, that beastman said the the demon G.o.d had the memories of his previous existence)

Is he cooking something he remembers from that time?

A sweet smell floated

The meaning of dessert, rather than [normal] cooking, it seems to be a luxury food

Once it seemed to be complete, there was a round and white item covered lavishly with fruit

While carrying that something he disappeared

He probably teleported

I also teleported to the hall that had become the meeting place

"Shin-sama, that is?"

"It"s a cake"

"Kei-ke?"

I hear the conversation, it seems that the thing that the demon G.o.d made is called a cake

"Shin-sama! Please teach me the recipe of this cake"

The spirit"s eyes sparkle as he looks at the demon G.o.d

Could it be, is this guy perhaps the cook

"Another time"

The demon G.o.d pat that spirit"s head

As I thought, those four are quite cherished

The demon G.o.d cares [about them]

Even though he won"t even spare a glance for us humans

Five candles were placed on top of the cake and lit up

(What is the point of that?)

Candles are something often used for light

Even inside this castle we have a lot of them

"Rau, blow them out"

(Blow them out?)

Doing such a thing, what in the world is the meaning?

"Ok~ay, fuuh~"

The child only said it with her mouth

The demon G.o.d made a complicated expression and raised a small breeze with magic to blow them out

After that, the four slaves ate the cake

"Yummy! Swe~et!!"

They ate it like it was really delicious, and I thought that I also want to eat it

Everyone seemed to feel the same, and we consulted on whether we could somehow receive some

"Rau"

"Ye~s?"

When I suddenly heard the demon G.o.d"s voice and tried looking over, there was something next to the child"s mouth that the demon G.o.d licked off

That action was quite a bit risque

The ones who froze upon seeing that scene were probably not just me

"Next time I"ll make a different cake"

"Really!!"

The demon G.o.d and the others there did not care about the surroundings and continued chatting like normal

The four seemed to finish eating and everyone put down their forks

If I"m going to call out it can be only now

"……..demon G.o.d, that, if you don"t want it, won"t you give it to me?"

I pointed at the half of the cake that yet remained and I thought without a doubt that I would be refused, but the demon G.o.d agreed

"Since it"s something I made from this place"s ingredients, if you want it take it"

"Really! Then, I"ll take it"

I carried each plate

Everyone—the royalty, the knights, and the magicians a.s.sembled to eat the cake

"Delicious!"

"It"s sweet, but……what is this?"

"Such a thing, I"ve never eaten it before!!"

Everyone spoke words of high praise

I was also astonished

Such a tender [texture], pleasantly melt in the mouth, sweetness

(So this is "cake"……..)

What other things can the demon G.o.d make?

No matter which chef, imitating such is an impossible task

"If the demon G.o.d became my chef……."

I could overhear such words as well, but that"s impossible

That demon G.o.d, there"s no way he would work for a human

Incidentally, when I looked over in the demon G.o.d"s direction, he had returned to his original clothes

However, the next moment—

He changed into some gorgeous clothes, his long hair was done up, and his veil disappeared

"Shin-sama, pretty!"

Exactly as the child said, he"s beautiful

Of people I"ve seen up to now, I think he"s the most beautiful

"Is that so. Isn"t Rau cuter?"

The demon G.o.d pat the child"s head and gently smiled

The ones whose eyes were captured, as expected was not just me

A smile on such a face is foul play

Even if I know he"s the demon G.o.d, I still want to propose

"I can understand why Sei-dono proposed to demon G.o.d-sama now. Demon G.o.d-sama won"t you marry me?"

Doyle-sama is also one of them [whose eyes were caught]

He proposes

Where everyone is, in such a place

However, his face was serious

Doyle-sama"s attendant tried to stop him, but with the demon G.o.d"s beauty there was no one who wouldn"t want to be his partner

"To actually propose, are you making fun of me? If I married an annoying b.a.s.t.a.r.d like you, I"d throw up"

However, the demon G.o.d also refused Doyle-sama"s proposal

The smiling face that he turned towards his slaves was gone when he turned towards us

He only made a disgusted expression

"In that case, who will the demon G.o.d-sama marry?"

That is the part I"m interested in

"I don"t feel like getting married"

Is it because he"s not yet even one year old?

Is it because he"s the demon G.o.d?

"Just now, what did you say?"

"Knight send this annoying guy away"

The demon G.o.d looked my way

Somehow it seems he doesn"t remember my name either

"To once again call Doyle-sama annoying….!"

Kreuz said so, but the demon G.o.d just sent him a glance

"Seize them"

At the demon G.o.d"s utterance, we were imprisoned in a cage

"Wha-!? Immediately release me!"

"To do such a thing, do you think this will end simply?"

Even though just a moment ago they were fascinated, perhaps impatient from being imprisoned, they all unanimously fire off words

The demon G.o.d spoke with his slaves, then disappeared

The sofa and table that the demon G.o.d took out also disappeared and after a short time the cage disappeared

(He said that he was going to town, right)

In that state, the demon G.o.d went to town?

The Guld festival will probably end up lost by the wayside

Without mistake, everyone"s eyes will be nailed to the demon G.o.d

When I went into town, as expected everyone"s gaze was gathered on the demon G.o.d

Seeing the smiling face of the demon G.o.d towards his slaves, there"s no person who looked at the portable shrine

Even though it should [currently] be the festival to give thanks for the harvest…….

Where ever the demon G.o.d moved, people also moved

Perhaps because it"s the first time they"ve seen someone so beautiful to that extent, the citizens were fascinated

They are already ignoring the festival [to stare at Shin]

"Demon G.o.d! Don"t leave us behind and go to town on your own, we will escort you"

When I call out, everyone looks at me all at once

"Unnecessary. You, are annoying and weak"

The smiling face he had a moment ago disappeared and he looked towards me with cold eyes

Without hiding their surprise at my words, the citizens were even more shocked at the demon G.o.d"s words

For humans, I as a knight and the governor am not a.s.sociated with things like "weak" or "annoying"

I also don"t want humans to hear me called such, but if there"s a guy that says such then somehow or other I would bestow retribution upon him

However, the opponent is the demon G.o.d

Being called weak can"t be helped

There"s a distinct difference in our power

However, I am called annoying way too much

I was called arrogant and lacking cuteness, but……

As an adult man, do I need something like cuteness?

"Should we go meet with Haju later?"

"Yeah!"

The demon G.o.d always smiled when he spoke with the beastman

I thought he perhaps just liked children, but the other three are adults

It"s impossible to understand how they caught the demon G.o.d"s interest

Do these three have cuteness?

I understand that they adore the demon G.o.d, but I don"t think they have anything like cuteness though…..

"Demon G.o.d-sama, today we have some rouie Juice"

A shopkeeper calls out to the demon G.o.d

Does he often come to this shop?

"Does Rau like rouie?"

"Yeah"

"Everyone?"

He also asks the other slaves

As I thought, the slaves all get considerably special treatment

"Give me four"

"Yes! Coming right up!"

The shopkeeper squeezed the juice in quite high spirits

Then, as expected, the demon G.o.d just paid and didn"t taste it at all

Although I heard that he seems to be fine not eating, it appears to be true

Ignoring me and the other knights, the demon G.o.d and the others continue walking

While he holds the beastman child in his arms

All the people stare at the demon G.o.d without moving their eyes away

If he weren"t the demon G.o.d, at this time there would be a storm of proposals

"Rau, is there anything else you"d like to do?"

"U~….hmm"

The child thought hard

The demon G.o.d said something about showing her off, but what did he mean by that?

"Demon G.o.d-sama, won"t you become betrothed to me?"

The voice that calls out to the demon G.o.d is from the princess of Oriomeishin

She was rumored to be a beautiful princess, but after seeing the demon G.o.d she was overshadowed

"…….humans should propose to humans. Don"t talk to me, ugly"

The smiling face he directed at the beastman child disappeared at once and his eyes became severe

"Wha-!? Ugly….?"

The princess was at a loss for words

The demon G.o.d ignored that and kept walking

"That person, isn"t she pretty?"

"Her personality"s bad and all she has is her face, right? That"s what that "ugly" meant"

I could hear the demon G.o.d"s conversation

Somehow or other it seems it had nothing to do with her appearance

"Since the cutest one among women is Rau"

"Rau is cutest?"

Patting her head, the beastman smiled looking happy

Certainly looking at her facial structure I think she seems cute, but if you asked if she was the cutest then she"s probably not

Is he evaluating while including personality?

If that"s the case, then won"t there be no human that can enter the demon G.o.d"s eyes?

"The number one prettiest, is Shin-sama"

"….is that so?"

Somehow, it seems that the demon G.o.d has no self-awareness of his own appearance

Such a beauty, you wouldn"t be able to find anywhere else

Even from among the elves that possess beautiful faces, they are no match for the demon G.o.d

For the citizens as well, they are not looking at the beastman child the demon G.o.d said he would show off, they are looking at the demon G.o.d

At that time—

"Theif-!"

An angry roar was heard

From the direction that the voice could be heard, a young boy could be seen running

(An orphan, huh)

Among humans, there are also orphans

They are generally abandoned children

There are also humans in poverty

Such guys sometimes abandon their children

Those types of kids commit theft and bring damage to the citizens

Only that much of a small loss won"t cause the knights to move

Today too, we only watch

The young boy has several loaves of bread in his hands and is desperately running

Chasing behind him is a man who seems to be a shopkeeper

(He"s going to be caught)

It"s just a matter of time

When committing theft, no matter what happens to you you can"t complain

That boy could be beaten with a cane, but even if that"s not what happens he will at least receive a harsh scolding

When the young boy slipped by the demon G.o.d, that boy was restrained by a black object

(The demon G.o.d captured him!?)

The demon G.o.d who seemed uninterested in other people, will deliver the young boy who committed a crime to the shopkeeper?

"Thank you for capturing him. Geez, this brat. I"m gonna beat you with a cane!"

The shopkeeper reached out for the young boy, but that boy was pulled back by each restraint

The demon G.o.d moved them

"Um…..?"

"How much?"

"….Eh?"

"I"m asking how much for the bread that this guy is holding"

"….it"s two sheets of silver" [TN: did I use plates, bills, or sheets before…..?]

The demon G.o.d took out his purse at the shopkeeper"s words

And then, seeing him pay, I was shocked

(That demon G.o.d, helped someone else?)

From the acts I"ve seen the demon G.o.d do up to now, it is unthinkable

"What do you intend to do with that?"

The demon G.o.d called out to the young boy

(What he says…..won"t it be for eating?)

The young boy didn"t say anything

"Aside from you, how many people are there?"

At the demon G.o.d"s words the young boy"s eyes widen

Is it a group of orphans?

How does the demon G.o.d know that?

"…..if you are gonna scold me, then please just scold only me"

The young boy"s face pales, but it seems it"s to protect the other guys

"I"m asking how many people there are"

"Five people"

When the demon G.o.d spoke more harshly the young boy quickly confessed

As I thought, is that also one of the demon G.o.d"s powers?

Once the boy said it, he seemed quite fl.u.s.tered

"Is there a guy that employs you guys?"

He shakes his head at the demon G.o.d"s words

Something like a guy who employs human children, there"s probably no one

Although it"s not that they can"t be subordinated, but compared to other races they are less productive

Also if human children are made to work, it looks bad

"In that case, work for me. I"ll also pay you for it, so don"t steal anymore"

"Eh…..?"

The young boy stares blankly

(Work for him?)

Such a child, what work can he do?

The young boy"s restraints unwrapped

If he runs away like that, what will he do?

"If you come back [with me], I"ll give you food. Rona, I"ll leave it to you?"

"Yes"

As I thought, that spirit seems to be a cook

"Master, what is the work? Even though even I have so little to do"

The elf calls out

It"s an unthinkable thing for a slave to do

To speak your opinion to your master……

"That"s true…..something like cleaning the walls should be fine, right?"

(How half-hearted)

Is such a thing fine?

For a job that a child without any education or power can do, that sort of thing really is the only choice though

The young boy stands still and seems to want to say something

"…….What?"

"There"s also a guy who"s 5 years old, won"t you let me do that guy"s job in exchange?"

"The same as Rau~"

The voice comes from the beastman child in the demon G.o.d"s arms

Nevertheless, I"m surprised at the young boy speaking out like that to protect another person

It would probably take all one"s strength to just survive alone…….

"For the time being, bring them here"

Nodding at the demon G.o.d"s words the young boy goes off somewhere

And then he quickly brings back five other people

Wearing shabby tattered clothes and unkempt hair, they seem dirty

They"re quite thin, and I can tell they"re lacking nutrition

"Cleanup"

At the demon G.o.d"s single utterance, the appearance of the six of them immediately changes

The slightly dirty clothes look like they"re brand new and the unkempt hair on their heads becomes silky

The demon G.o.d"s power is just as amazing as ever

"Dea, after returning put these guys in the bath"

"Yes"

(Bath?)

He"ll let these orphans into his bath?

Besides that, he also said he would feed them food

What interested him?

"Give me your name"

At the demon G.o.d"s words, the six give their names one by one

Since they"re orphans they don"t have a family name though

However, these six are given the demon G.o.d"s divine protection

Won"t he give it to me too?

"Alvin, Listeica, Trileis, Radian, Maridenie, Freelantz put this on"

He pa.s.sed them slave collars

Different from the four who have gems embedded in theirs, it"s a simple silver collar

"Will they live in the castle?"

"No, they will live in the garden"

As expected, it seems they are different from those four

"Shall we go to Haju"s place while Dea puts these guys in the bath and feeds them?"

"Yea! Let"s show these cute clothes to Haju~ Shin-sama dressed up is also pretty"

The beastman child is still in the demon G.o.d"s arms

"Rune do you want to come too?"

"….is it alright?"

"Rune is special"

Smiling towards the male beastman, he pats his head

I wonder if the demon G.o.d is interested in beastmen?

When dealing with the two beastmen, he gives off quite a different feeling even when compared to with the other slaves

While I absentmindedly watch, they all disappeared

Just how many people is the demon G.o.d able to teleport at once?

Sei side end
