Humans, No Matter the Time are [the most] Self-Centered (Next to Master)Dea side
The humans smacked their lips at the cooking Rona brought out which was taught to him directly by master
Kieshye"s king, knights, magicians, and the attendants to the king, in total 9 people
Based on their appearance, it seems three are knights, three are magicians, and two are attendants
Master said that the first attempt at diplomatic relations would be with Kieshye
Veiden could get by on just its own……..is what I want to say, but in truth, that"s impossible
Master understood that as well and he explained that to the people who complained without being able to comprehend that
"With the amount you guys consume, the amount produced doesn"t match up. In order to resolve that, we have to start diplomatic relations with surrounding countries and foreign trade. The things we lack and the things you guys alone can"t make, it"s fine to get them from other countries. That"s why we need diplomatic relations"
Certainly, humans produce things like dishware and the raw materials for cloth
We don"t even know how things like that are made
For that reason, buy the things we can"t make from other countries, is probably what he meant
….though it seems he won"t let just anyone leave Veiden
If you"re not together with master, you can"t leave or enter the country
The surrounding barrier is not at the level where we could do something about it
Since master"s barrier is not something just anyone could break
From what master said, it seems he knows how those things are made
However, even if he tells us how [to make it] it will take time to learn
Meaning, because of that, for the meantime we"ll supplement by buying things
In other words, in the future, Veiden can become a self-sufficient country
Ending our reliance on other countries
When it"s become like that, he said that we"ll once again close off the country
The people in this country, despair in humans and harbor fear towards them
Most people were oppressed by humans, and feel that if they can they don"t want to get involved with humans at all
"This world"s trash" as master would call them, probably won"t change their way of living from before from now on either
Discriminating against the three races, subordinating them as slaves, only pa.s.sing on the ancient records that they can make use of, if a thing isn"t useful then just killing it off
Slaves, s.e.x slaves, meatshields…..
Only giving them [the other three races] such treatment
Although I"m subordinated to master, he doesn"t treat me like a slave
He"ll teach me anything if I ask, and he speaks an apology when he asks me to do something
He"s kind to me and worries about my increasing amount of work and said I should take a break
He embraced me once, but master did not treat me cruelly
He didn"t use drugs and was gentle from beginning to end
From the beginning, he told me "if you don"t like it refuse"
Being embraced, I did not refuse it
Even though I had never done something like being embraced by a man, when asked by master if it was alright to embrace me, I unconsciously nodded
I thought even being embraced is fine if it"s with master
As to why I thought so, even now I don"t understand though…….
Even up to now I was never once treated as a shield
On the contrary, he always protected me
So to give him this body—
Because "I"m undying", because "you"re my thing", he put his own body in danger—
Certainly, he never once received an injury, but the feeling wasn"t the same feeling as always
If master weren"t undying he would probably be dead by now
About that, he"s a person that does not care about himself
A person that can simply throw away things like his own life and such
He probably had such a personality from even before
Even when I thought that I want him to treat himself with care, it wouldn"t make sense for master to do as he"s a demon G.o.d
As whatever he does, he won"t die
As whatever he does, he won"t be injured
As whatever he does…….master is a demon G.o.d, is undying and perpetually young, that will not be overturned
It feels like master has no attachment to living
Master"s previous existence, was always told he was an unwanted child by his parents, in the current world as the demon G.o.d he doesn"t have any parents
Towards such a master, even if I tell him to treat himself with care, I don"t think he would understand
Even when Rune cried [about Shin"s bad parents], he made a strange [a "mysterious so cannot comprehend"] face
Even I was never told such a thing by my parents
From what master said, the country master lived in in his previous existence had monogamy, it seems it didn"t have polygamy
Being involved with another person aside from your spouse was infidelity and that became the cause of divorce and such
In this world, divorce doesn"t happen much even among humans
Humans often get involved with s.e.x slaves, but they don"t go so far as divorce
Since you can"t have children between different races
However, it was nothing but humans in master"s previous world
In other words, you can have children with others you"re involved with
Master said he was a child made like that
Master"s father had a considerable amount of political influence, in the terms of this world he was in a similar position to our prime minister it seems
For a man in such a position, master"s existence was nothing but trouble
So, his parents said in return for staying hidden, they"ll give him enough money that he would never be lacking money it seems
His mother, even though she wanted to draw his father"s interest by giving birth, on the contrary the shunned master drew his anger it seems
Since master was there, she was avoided by the man who was the father, and so…….
However you think about it, master was the victim
However, inside master there are no feelings of bitterness
That, in other words, such a thing could just be called a normal thing for him
Without thinking it was a bitter thing, [instead that] that was obviously how it should
That"s probably the reason master doesn"t have something like attachment towards other people
Since he never had familial love
He married Rune as his wife and I thought perhaps something had changed, but there was no sign that anything really changed
Is it impossible for even Rune [to change him]?
For master to change—
"Heyy, as expected spending from now on in the inn is boring. Give me permission to go outside"
(Hah?)
This king, did he already forget the warning?
Even though master"s only punishment is the death penalty
Hurrying to his death……does not seem to be his intention
In other words, he probably means for me to make a request to master
Why do I, as master"s slave, have to be made use of by humans?
"Do you want to die? Master, if he said he would do it then he really will do it"
Up to now I"ve seen master kill humans many times
The gentle expression he makes when he"s pampering Rune and the others changes to ruthlessness in an instant
It seems he doesn"t think much of the weight of his own life, but it seems he also thinks that of other people"s lives as well
I heard him say "my morality is lacking," but the meaning of "morality" I asked him to teach me went over my head
It was things you must not do as a person, and that master sometimes does
Does that mean something like killing so many times in this world?
"At this time, there are children outside. Because there are many of them who fear human adults, there are probably also children who will end up crying. If that happens I cannot guarantee your lives. It seems that master likes children, and he finds children who often cry especially cute"
Rau is like that
Haju is also like that
Towards the a bit bigger Alba, the way he"s seen to be cute is a bit different though
"Wouldn"t it be fine if I stealthily watched from a distance or so? There"s nothing to do in the inn"
"Even if you say such a thing……the one who can decide that is not me, but master"
Even though I said not to go out, he has no intention of listening to it
I don"t have the right to give them permission to go out
Only master has that
Certainly, things like [making] rules or [a.s.signing] roles are decided by me
However, it"s not like I can arbitrarily give permission to these humans to go out on my own
I can only go ask master
From here to the castle is a considerably large distance
Master"s probably at the castle
He"s most likely sleeping though
He yawned [before leaving]
"Isn"t just a bit fine? It"s alright, it"s not like we"ll carelessly approach children and we"ll immediately come back"
This human king is quite insistent on getting his way
There"s also the case of him asking master to be his subordinate, though since he"s a demon G.o.d he couldn"t stomach it, but this human is something else
Both my warning and words of deterrence, I understood that he had no intention of listening to them
(It can"t be helped)
I didn"t intend to use this, but just this time it can"t be helped
I alone taking on 9 people is impossible
Rona is cooking for everyone and is not nearby right now
Selene who was entrusted with this inn"s management is a spirit, but she doesn"t have master"s divine protection, so I won"t let her meet with danger
"Master!"
I touch the light blue magic stone and call for master
And then, master immediately appears
While holding Rune in his arms
"What is it?"
Master, like usual, indifferently asks about the situation
"These humans said they want to go outside and wouldn"t listen"
However, I"m already used to it
The somewhat limp Rune had his arms wrapped around master"s neck
He seemed to be awake though
"Didn"t you explain to them?"
"I did, but they said it would be fine since they wouldn"t approach the children……"
If they listened to me I wouldn"t have specially called master
The only one who can do anything about these humans is only master
"Tch…..you guys, don"t add to Dea"s work"
Certainly, I still have work remaining
Since I like working it"s not that troubling though
Master worries over my abundant workload
Though he seems to be searching for people I could distribute part of the work to for me
Although master occasionally lends me a hand, he ends up saying it"s troublesome and leaving halfway
He told me I could give Alba some of my work once he grows up, but I can"t entrust work to a guy who"s now still only 12
He"s now attending school with the other children in the middle of studying
Other than that, there"s the people who were in the garden and such?
However, for people who do not have master"s divine protection, it seems he doesn"t intend to give them roles that will manage the country
Rona is busy as a cook, so it"s probably too much [to ask him for help]
Other than that is Rune, but…..
It seems that master has no intention of letting Rune do anything, delivering food as well, he only lets him[Rune] do it when he"s asleep
Rather than saying he cherishes him, it feels more like he over-protectively spoils him
In the beginning it seems he[Rune] had some complaints, but it"s preferable to hurting master"s feelings so lately he hasn"t said anything about it
Before, I saw Rune crying in front of master"s room
Desperately knocking on the door, Rune begged for forgiveness
"If I do anything, he gets irritated and says to stop…..I, don"t want Shin to hate me"
Even now, with a face like he"ll cry, he still apologizes about not being able to help out
However, I also understand Rune"s feelings
If Master let go of me [and sent me away], even I probably wouldn"t be able to live
It was originally a life that, because of my age, if I wasn"t sold I would have been killed
If I were sent out of Veiden and master"s divine protection was removed, I may even immediately end up dead
Spoiled by master, completely and thoroughly immersed in peace now, living in my previous circ.u.mstances [again] would be difficult
I won"t be treated as a living person like I am now
Being afraid of humans, being afraid of demons, only able to live while in hiding
And even then that [living] is nearly impossible
After the war, that humans started, the population of the other races sharply dropped
Sustaining a village is probably impossible
Ending up growing accustomed to this peaceful Veiden, it"s too much
Since for us this is surely a dream country
"Rune do you want to show them around?"
"Is it alright!?…….however, I…..can"t walk?"
"I"ll carry you, so it"s fine not walking. With these idiots, it"s enough to just give them various explanations"
Unusually, it seems he"s letting Rune show them around
Rather than call it showing around, it"s more like explaining though
Since he"s being carried, master"s the one that"s showing them around
Which is to say, in the meantime Rune will be the one answering the questions flying around
Does he really not want to explain things that much?
Master"s self-interest at the hint of trouble is quite the thing
Dea side end
