29 Learning About Demons

At the break of dawn, Beelzebub emerged from bed .
Although she was still recuperating, it seems like she already has a healthy body .

“Did you think you could kill me? I am a high-level demon so I’m accustomed to being feared . I never thought such rumors were spreading-jya . ”

“I ran desperately for my life… Since the workshop is resuming… Well, for the past few days, the ‘Nutritious Alcohol’ in the mansion has been decreasing…”

“I drank it-jya . As expected, it is the best-jya . ”

It seems like the misunderstanding between Harukara and Beelzebub has cleared up, so all is well .

“No, we should relocate the workshop to this province instead . ”

Harukara looked like she was thinking of something .

“Relocate here? Why’s that?”

“Even though Beelzebub aiming for Harukara was a misunderstanding, both the elves and my home province abandoned me this time . They did not even move to protect me in the least . ”

I think since the opponent was a high-level demon, they probably got scared . They probably felt that if it was just sacrificing the life of one elf, it would’ve been a good deal .

“If I reopened the workshop over there, it’ll generate tax revenue there, but somehow that doesn’t make sense . ”

“You’re the type to hold a grudge against someone, right……?”

Nonetheless, it wouldn’t really bring any bad changes to the Nanterre Province other than increasing employment . I think I should promote something so that people are attracted to the Nanterre Province .

“And… if I live here, I can also be with Master…”

Harukara said while slightly blushing .

“Isn’t the Master-Disciple relationship in the end just a fake? I have no intention to teach her as my disciple . ”

“No, Master truly tried to save my life, right? Master was super cool when you forced your way between me and Beelzebub-san . Because of that, my feelings are also still trembling right now…”

I feel uneasy about Harukara’s feverous gaze .

“You… you aren’t having yuri-like thoughts are you…?”

“There’s no such things . ”

“If that’s the case, there’s no problem . ”

“I only want my first time to be heterosexual . ”

Oi! Strange words just came out!

“W-well… I don’t have another room yet, but I don’t mind… However, we have a system for cleaning, shopping, and cooking duties, is that alright with you?”

“Yes! I’ll work properly!”

Again, the number of people in my family has increased .
Two daughters and two disciples . It has become a typical witch workshop . It’d be embarrassing if one’s skills were not up to par while working with a witch to make medicine .

“Hmm . Looks like you’re having fun-jya . ”

Beelzebub said while hinting that she was very interested .

“Um, a high-level demon shouldn’t be living in such a cramped place…”

No matter how you look at it, it seems like she’s fearful of living near Beelzebub, but feels shy and awkward .

“Since I have a proper place to live, I do not feel like moving . However, I’ll make an appearance once in awhile . I want to buy some ‘Nutritional Alcohol’ . If you go to an elf named Harukara, can’t you for sure purchase it from her?”

Absolutely . She’s certain to buy it from where it’s manufactured . She also wouldn’t have to deal with transportation fees .

“Also, Plateau Witch Azusa, the conclusion itself was interrupted . Next time, let’s have a match without the barrier . ”

“Huh… Another fight…?”

“Since I’m not planning a fight to the death, I feel so relieved . After living for a long time, I finally have a break so keep me company to kill some time . Also, if there’s an interesting event, call me . ”

“How am I supposed to get in contact with you in the demon region…?”

“I’ll be turning up every once in awhile, so I’ll tell you when . ”

When do you feel like coming next…

“Well, for the time being, it’s good that we acknowledged that it was a misunderstanding . Now then, how about a meal together?”

“Sure, I accept . Not to trouble you-jya, but I’d like to eat at a table outside-jya . It also seems like inns on the plateau have grown lively . ”

“Although it’s bothersome, that’s a pretty good idea . Let’s do that . ”

Thus, we decided to have an elegant breakfast outside .
It was the first time that I had met a demon, so I asked various questions about the demon society .

Q1: What is the demon society like now?
“It’s still the same dynasty even after these past few hundred years . Since they haven’t made any movements like advancing onto human soil, it’s been peaceful . The government consists of the royal family and us high level demons . ”
So that means it is a very ordinary country .

Q2: What does Beelzebub do?
“While managing my demesne [1] as a noble, I am in the middle of promoting the expansion of agricultural land as the Minister of Agriculture during this dynasty . ”
As expected, she seems to be a person in a high position .

Q3: Are you married?
“Eh, don’t ask such strange things… Things like that, isn’t that for races who age fast?… Is there something wrong with being a v-virgin…?”
Is that the tone of a young maiden?

Q4: How do you live as a fly?
“While it may be true that I can turn into a fly, it’s not like I eat garbage of my own free will, so that isn’t a problem . If I brought out such things for a meal, it’ll be an international problem as it is an insult to the demon nobles . Certainly, rotten fruit is delicious, but in the end if it was rotten, it’s still just a rotten thing!”
Let’s be careful here . It’ll be better to treat her like a normal human being .

Well, now that I think about it, I should have contacted Leica since evacuation wasn’t necessary, but Leica came in her dragon form during our meal .

“I came back to ask about the situation, but it seems to have been decided . ”
“It’s like that . It’s no problem to bring back my daughters now . Although it’s a bit rushed, can you do it by today please?”
Since I have a chance, I thought I’d let my other family members meet the Lord of the Flies .

Ah, it seemed like Beelzebub and my daughters got along well, as they were playing house and horsing around――isn’t what happened; they were excessively asking things concerning demon history .

“Thus, many noble lineages has fallen this way-jya――but why do you two have such an interest in a historical story?”
“Because things concerning demons don’t appear in books that often . ”
“My younger sister Sharusha likes studying history—! Farufa probably likes math—!”
“I see . I see . Then, Farufa, next time I’ll bring books regarding differentials and integrals .

I don’t really understand, but an intellectual conversation was taking place .

That night when Beelzebub was to return, she said this:

“I would be more than glad to adopt either one of your daughters, but alas, it’s useless . ”
“Although it’s an honor, I must refuse . ”

And with this, the Beelzebub incident was settled .
