I continued to be a monkey, not a true demon king... but an "island demon king".

We have arrived in the Magic Land.

Take the carriage from the harbor to the Magic City.

This is the center of the continental demon kingdom... built in place of the old demon capital that was destroyed by the great collapse, so called the new demon capital.

When I stepped in there, I was more than I could ever imagine welcome and honestly freaked out.

"Welcome to the Island Demon King!!"

"Welcome to the Magic City!

"Welcome home!?"

Too warm a welcome, and I get scared and pull.

What's that supposed to mean?

What the hell is going on here?

"All my people are celebrating the return of their long-distant compatriots. Our people are very compassionate."

Really!?

Either way, this cheer shows that the hearts of the people are firmly against the king.

The Demon King Zedan has full control of the people's hearts and minds.

If the king rejoices, the people dance.

When the king is sad, the people weep and make a river of tears.

When the king is angry, the people will be angry, and they will crush and destroy everything.

Nothing is more terrifying than bringing the hearts of the king and the people together.

As the same politician, he is incompetent unless he knows the horrors.

"Monkey."

"Yes!?"

"Take a look at your right hand and you'll see something interesting."

Something strange appeared in my vision as I paraded in the carriage.

... what is it?

A tower?

It's an elongated and expensive building, so it seems appropriate to call it a "tower"...

I have a completely different impression of the tower I know!?

Something like two hands stretched out from the left and right of the tower!

And there's a face around the top of the tower!

That face is shining!?

I don't know much about architecture, but I don't know what it really is!?

"That is the new famous tower of the Magic City."

Zedan who rides the carriage with me explains it, but I don't know if it's explained!?

"It's like a monument that was built at the Exposition last year. It has gained popularity from its overly shocking design, has been preserved without dismantling even after the Exposition, and is familiar to the people."

That's right!

"There are even anecdotes such as the fact that the sun god fell in love with so many artistic performances and stepped off his feet and fell to the ground. Therefore, it has been nicknamed the" Apollon Tower "and is still a popular spot."

"I see...!?"

Having said that, I had no idea what to do with that huge tower.

I don't know about art...!?

I don't know anything about anything but human sensitivity.

"Now, Azar, of course, I'm going to have a dinner party at the Demon King Castle to welcome you and have you greet the towns of my demonic kingdom...."

Yes!?

Stop it! Stop it!

That makes me nervous!

"Why don't we make a stop before that?

That's how he secretly escaped from the parade and took me there...

"... here"

What the hell is this place?

What a small restaurant it took to turn around in a small backalley.

Are you saying that the demon king of heaven is entering and exiting such a small shop?

I don't know who Zedan is anymore.

"I'm in your way."

When I opened the door and entered, it was getting narrower and narrower, and I didn't think it was a shop used by the Demon King.

"Welcome!"

There was only one clerk and he just spoke from behind the counter.

There is a calming smell coming from inside the pot.

"I'm sorry. If it is originally open from night, force me to open it from daytime. And it's all for rent."

"If it is a request from a saint's friend, he must be somewhat accommodating. Besides, Oden's production is winter, so after that, it's quite a leisurely time!

Who owns this shop?

Is Nori unique?

"Since there is a dinner at night, it shouldn't be too rough, but even in that small amount, please make a carefully selected arrangement so that you can understand the spirit of this store.... and I'll take the black honey. Drinks are cold."

Got it!

The store owner is used to Zedan ordering as he is used to it.

I would have simmered the ingredients in a pot beforehand, and put them on a plate, lined up in front of me and Zedan.

"Daikon radish, eggs and chicken! Basically three kinds of Oden! And the cold of Junmai Daiginjo!

Something came out.

And I feel like I've never seen any of them.

It seems like a dish where you can taste the ingredients stewed in a thin soup...

Well, if Zedan recommended the dish, it would be poisonous if you didn't eat it.

Hmm...

Delicious!!

What is this!? The deliciousness of the soup thoroughly soaked in the utensils is an incredible dimension!?

It's not too thin, it's not too thick, and yet it seems to heal the stomach that you swallowed with a soft taste!?

More water coming out with you... not water!?

I didn't notice it because it was as transparent as water!? The liquor that spreads fluidly as soon as it contains a sip is completely different from what I've been drinking.

What is this!?

Is it really alcohol!?

"I'm really glad that Lord Azar is pleased with you. Owner, give me a tofu with plenty of soy sauce."

"Demon King, I ate too much!

I'm so delicious, I've changed my shine!

I thought you said you had a dinner party.

"There will be various kinds of alcohol at the restaurant, so I want you to taste all of them. It's just what I made!

What does it mean when the owner said that when he left the store with full satisfaction?

"He is Bacchus, the god of alcohol. Are there any legacies left on Lord Azar's land?

Is that it?

The only half-god left on earth!?

And then...

After dinner at Demon King Castle, I had nothing more to do than to be stunned.

Because I was overwhelmed.

To the magnificence of Demon King Castle, the home of Zedan.

At the corner of Demon King Castle... the dinner party in the hall was just the splendor of a hundred flowers.

The luxury of the arranged dishes is, of course, the special design of the plates that serve them. A glass vessel that is even more transparent.

It also seemed to be a special brand, and I sighed at the level that none of them existed on my island.

The liquor served was colorful, as the shopkeeper said, and he was just surprised, "Was there such a variety of liquor?"

And the vibrancy of the people who attended the dinner party.

Especially the dress worn by the female attendees was sparkling and dazzling.

I heard that this is also a brand of work that has become popular and has swept the Magic City.

Women from all over the magical capital compete with us first to buy dresses and dress up to show their beauty.

Public events are said to be indicative of national authority, but today's dinner party was an indication of the immense national strength and cultural standards of the Magic Kingdom.

Compared to this, food, clothing and accommodation in Japan are all very shameful.

Isn't that about the size of a rural area?

Once again, I resent my inability to go to such a powerful country and call it the "True Demonic Country".

"Are you tired? I'm sorry I took you all around."

And while showing the level of culture to date, he still cares about his guests. When he was a servant, Zedan was careful.

Scary.

"I thought you'd be proud of your country, but it was too much fun to introduce our country to our guests. Well, you can relax with a cup of coffee."

"Hah...."

Receive the coffee cup offered and mouth it.

I didn't expect you to calm down with such aromatic coffee to end this upheaval.

Master Zedan is really clever.

"No, it's really delicious coffee. I saw it using more beans."

"No. Surprised? This kind of black-and-white liquid gives off a very nice fragrance. It's called coffee, and now it's showing signs of a pandemic in the Magic City."

Hmm?

Hmm?

You just missed a conversation?

"... this is coffee, right?

"Well... do you know coffee, monkey? Even in the Magic City, there are still few people who know...!

Huh?

Huh?

Last but not least, the day came to an end.

Coffee has been consumed for a long time on my island of magic.

It seems that it did not exist until recently in the Magic Land.
