The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

On April 14th, I returned to Sibyak as planned.

It was the take-off and landing site that got off.

When I landed softly with Bassari, the stardust just looked tired and came over.

Unlike going, I had nowhere to stop on my way home. I probably went back to the straight line, so the flight distance per day was longer for that matter.

Because of that, you seem to be getting tired.

I need to give him a week off.

"Yuri!"

There was a voice calling for me, and when I looked at you, Sham was rushing over.

A blunt impact runs on his chest, mugging and hugging him.

"Sham... I haven't had a bath in three days"

I hope you don't push your nose if you can.

"Mumps, mumps."

He says something as he presses his face against his clothes.

I can't hear you at all.

"I thought Yuri-kun was gonna die, so I said I forgive you."

Some laid back voice came.

It's Senior Lily.

He's kind of weaving feathers like a big wool sweater on top of his uniform.

It's nice to look like a sweater for someone with a fuzzy chest.

"It's been a while. Senior Lily."

When I bow my head to the dust,

"Welcome back"

That's how Senior Lily smiled.

Welcome back.

"Uh... just now"

Right, have we both been waiting here the whole time?

I don't know if it's like a picnic or something, but there's a sheet in the shade a little further away, and there's something like a little lunchbox on top of it.

"To me?

Sham's staring up a little.

Even though I was told, I don't remember being told to come back.

Or was that in the one you were talking about just now?

"I'm home, Sham"

I said with my head in my hand.

"So long, Senior Lily. Please."

That's what I said when I reached the eagle house and deposited the stardust, briefly describing the events that were on the journey.

And take out a piece of paper that got dirty with a little bit of dirt.

During the journey, it is observational data with ten notes in ten days.

Luckily, during the ten days, even if it can be somewhat cloudy, we don't know exactly where the sun is. That was not the case.

"Got it. I'll try to make a map out of it."

Senior Lily received the paper from my hand.

"Please. I have some business to attend to, so I'll take care of it."

"Warm it up. Yuri doesn't have time to help with chores like this."

Ugh......

In fact, it's true that we don't have much time.

"Hi, looks like you're pushing me to work, sorry"

It is frightening.

"No, no, no, I didn't mean to say it because I didn't like it. Never mind."

"Really?"

Although I didn't receive it as disgusting.

Yuri-kun has a lot of nasty things to do, so he can leave it to me.

What a dependable word.

That makes this one easier to say.

"It'll sweeten your words, though."

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd like you to be sweet about something else..."

Uh...

You call it smudging, not illuminating...

How can I be sweet when I'm sweet about something else?

Sister, I love it ♪

Am I supposed to have a dialogue like that?

I don't think so...

"Well, I'm counting on you"

I decided not to ask.

"... yeah. Rely on me."

Senior Lily nodded with a slightly worried face.

"Um."

Sham was looking at me with his jit eyes.

"What the hell?"

I'm going to say it with some childish discouragement about where I remembered.

Uh, uh.

"Uh, sham, shh. This is"

Senior Lily is in a panic.

"I work hard, too."

I said something.

Well, the truth is, Sham's going to give you a number.

I'm sure Sham will do his best.

Shit, Mr. Sham?

"Yeah, Sham's good too. Rarely."

"I'm not counting on you?

Eh.

"I'm counting on mess."

"Really?"

Really?

Something's wrong with Sham today.

"That's how you fly the coordinates, so I won't leave it to the guy you're not counting on. Because if you suck, it's seaweed."

"Then tell me you're counting on me."

I just said it.

"I'm counting on you"

That's what I said, I crouched down and stroked Sham's head.

Why, why not?

"Hmm, I'll do my best"

They'll work hard.

I knew something was a little tense today.

"Oh, uh... oh, yeah, I did"

Senior Lily searched his pockets for nothing and took out the wrap.

"Yes."

When I received the package and opened it, there was a silver lighter inside.

"Did you do it"

"I'll be busy again today. I was thinking of finishing it by today."

The lighter, which was still the first, is certainly smaller than before.

As he patted open and turned the wheel slightly to sharpen the firestone, the jarring sensation conveyed to his fingers, igniting less easily than from before.

"It's getting better"

"Yeah, that's good."

It's an amazing talent to be able to steadily improve something like this.

"Overlapping, thank you. Now you can go with confidence."

"I'm not feeling well."

Senior Lily laughed as if to do a blindfold.

"Welcome back"

Split up with the two of them, and came to the dormitory, and it was Myalo who waited there.

"Sorry I didn't pick you up."

"No, that's fine."

I have trouble being picked up.

Unlike the two of them, Myalo should be extremely busy right now, so he won't have time to picnic.

"Because this morning was the deadline."

"Oh, speaking of which, you did."

It's about noon now.

The tournament's application should have been due this morning.

I guess I've been busy processing that.

Looking around in front of the front door of the dorm, there were no more special posts that were there before I left.

I would have removed it because the deadline had passed.

"Did you throw away the post?

I asked.

"I stopped that one. Because two days ago, a spark was posted."

What...

Oh, my God.

Who harassed you like that?

"Since then, we've made it a mechanism for people in dormitories who don't participate to receive it directly. The sign that said it was removed this morning."

Yeah.

I hope so.

"Did you find the killer?

"I can't find it. Should I have looked hard?

Myalo asked to be sure.

I guess I looked for it when I had time, but I guess there was a pile of things to do before that.

Like ex-post treatment of arson.

Saying we're gonna look for the killer, enough to throw a spark into the night nobody's watching, is less laborious obstruction, and anyone can do it.

If you are a slightly light-hearted person, it is not difficult to use something like a hook rope to go beyond the walls, so there is also the possibility of an external offender.

Well, motivated by my hatred, I suppose around Lachramanus is the lead, but there's also the possibility of a general in relation to Carol's participation.

The Rube and Howe houses are unlikely, but the other two houses will be in hubbed form, which would make them feel bad.

I can't even think about it, and when I looked it up, there's just one more thing that falls to the bottom, "Ah, this guy just like that," and I don't have anything special to gain.

I guess Myalo thought so too, and didn't devote any effort to searching for the killer.

"No, that's okay. You were an asshole to use the mailbox."

Being pranked by a mailbox would not be an aristocratic school. And you thought unconsciously, you made a gap.

"Right."

"Did the paper inside burn?

That's the biggest problem in a way.

Since the application form requires the signature of a real parent, it takes time and effort to create it in a cavalry where most students, unlike a correctional institution, have their home remotely.

Even if you use the full ten days, you often have parents on a land called Critical just for moving, so I'm just sorry if you can't believe you burned the documents posted by such a guy in this mess.

In that case, it would be too harsh to allow an interview if I had to make it again.

"No, I was collecting it once the night before, so there was only one burnt. We also found out who the author was."

Was it?

You really got lucky.

"By the way, it was a land relatively close to Wang Du, so I've already resubmitted it"

"That's fine."

No, it was really good.

The damage was done with a single post and the amount of effort expended.

"If they'd done it around early this morning, I'd be relieved."

Perhaps the peak of submission should have been around today or yesterday.

If there had been no arson two days ago, the post had remained, and the spark had been put in today's ugly three o'clock, a lot of paper would have been burned and today it would have been so softly meant to identify the owner of that paper.

"The total number of participants is 179."

Hmm.

"You've gathered quite well."

"Considering that there are only 258 qualified people who have completed the unit, I think it's quite a hopeful rate"

Did you even look into that?

I have about 20% of the students who are qualified. I thought of it and pulled a foot-cutting line.

258 people, which means it's pretty much what we're looking for.

When 20% of the students become qualified, one in five will disappear from the dorm for more than six years if we take them all.

I took it that wide, leaving aside the King Eagle thing, it would be about half of that again to apply for a job in life and death. Because I thought so.

179 out of 258 means, uh... roughly 70%?

I don't know if that's due to the readiness of the cavalry students or to the popularity of Carol and Lyao, but it must be a miscalculation.

"In fact, there were 201 out there, but 22 were those who were unlikely to stand the march because they falsified the number of units or gained illness or injury. And then..."

"No."

I blocked Myalo's words trying to keep going.

"We'll hear more about it later."

I'm not talking about stand-up.

"Oh, right. I have hot water specially prepared for me. There's a bath in the dorm."

Wow.

How well arranged.

"Thank you. It helps."

"No. If you're going to be Yuri-kun's staff, that's about as natural as it gets."

Myalo was slightly good at it.

Apparently, he also liked the sound of staff.

I left the bath and changed into a uniform for the first time in a long time.

"All right, you want some rice?"

I headed to the dining room.

"Auntie, have a meal"

Told my totally familiar aunt,

"Yes. It's been a long time. Were you on a trip?

You have no idea what's going on, I've said that.

Well, the common people in this country aren't checking for news, so maybe that's what it is.

Exactly, but you know there's going to be another war.

"Yeah, well, that's it."

As I answered, the meal happened to be ready for me and I came on a tray.

"Yes, sir."

"Thank you"

Thank you, I'll take the tray and sit in the appropriate seats.

Yuri-kun.

said Myalo, who sat in the front seat as a matter of course.

"Here's a list of those coming for tomorrow's interview."

Myalo put a bunch of paperwork on his desk.

It is made of paper bought from the company, not parchment paper.

I don't think this is going to help.

"We put it together in order from the top and in order that it looks outstanding. So you may not have to read it to the very end."

"Right. Keep your eyes open as much as you can."

I answered with a meal.

It is unfortunately true that we cannot take them all, so Myalo is right, the humans around the end may not need to be considered carefully.

If I found out I was thinking about this, I might get mad at you.

Even below this form, I know the picker picks, but the area is probably the first type of person to actually interview and see how good it is.

"And there's not much to prepare for replenishment."

Though I'm in a hurry, I can't calculate the supply even though I haven't decided on the number of people.

Around there, I guess, it's in the pending phase.

"As for that, I called someone who was in charge of the barracks at the Howe family before we left. I won't be able to accompany you, but I'll be able to give you some advice."

"Oh, really?"

Myalo gave a horrible look to see how troubled he was about the matter.

You should have told me before you left.

"If the replenishment wasn't actually the person in charge, there would be parts of it that you wouldn't notice. No matter how much you think with your head, there's a limit."

As far as replenishment is concerned, it was also learned in the Knights' Academy of Sciences, but the Sciences of Sciences is only the Sciences of Sciences.

No matter how much I think about it, if I hadn't actually done it, issues like "I should have bought that one" and "I should have done something like this" would erupt after I left.

"I thought so, too, and I was anxious. That's Yuri."

Something praised me.

"By now, we're just getting to our separate mansion. I'll talk to you later."

"Yes. So, I'd like to ask, how many members are you going to squeeze into?

"Well... a little over sixty"

"Sixty...... is it"

Carol and Lyao can take care of about thirty people at a time.

Probably.

If it swells more than that, it could be unmanageable.

"Considering that with every more people, the scale of replenishment will also increase. When it comes to the size of a unit that can act without disturbing the main unit, that would be about it. Only sixty people, if you include the barracks, you'll be on a cool scale."

Beyond that, I'm not sure I can manage it.

There will also be the idea of more than a thousand controlled armies, two thousand U.N. people, but if you can, you want to return them all, so you can't take the proposal.

"Right."

"And the truth is, how many of the hundreds and dozens can bring a king eagle?"

A house wealthy enough to lend a king eagle to a child shouldn't be.

In normal times, you may be able to rent from your relatives' houses, but not in wartime either.

The truth is that no one lends it to me that easily.

"Right. I'm looking into whether my parents' family line of Heavenly Knights, but it won't be a decision as to whether I can actually procure them. Sometimes my parents won't lend it to me, and vice versa, even if I was born in a low-ranking knight family who isn't a heavenly knight, there's going to be a way to procure it. Wang Eagle has asked several times whether it is okay to borrow money from friends in the same dorm."

Oh, I see.

Did you have a hand in borrowing from friends?

It's not a bad way to ask Wang Eagle, who has a bad grade and can't participate, to lend it to me because he's a newborn.

If I were you, I would never lend you stardust, but some of them are broken into tools, so the guy who lends them would lend them.

"But then, even if it means passing, a lot of people won't be able to get it by the departure date."

Expected to get it, so I'll take Wang Eagle. There seems to be a lot of guys who answer, for example.

"I'll take the king eagle with me at the interview, and I'll tell you, I'll show up at the bird drive on that day. So that's it. Indeed, you should also consider what to do in that case."

Even if you participate in a bird drive, you can say that it is of little significance because you cannot participate in an actual inspection flight at the Wang Eagle, but there is also a part of this that the track record of participating is important.

"When it comes to dealing with it, there will only be a way of not allowing participation. If I forgive one person, I don't know how many will show up, but I have to forgive them all. It also involves morale."

"Yeah, that's right... I think so too"

"I guess you should tell him that during the interview."

"Well, I'll add you to the list of questions."

Question list.

Do you even make it like that?

Ultimately, even if I adjust, if that's what I make in advance, I can make it easier too.

It's good to have Myalo.

By the way, how's Lyao doing?

"They seem to be consulting with people who wish to participate in the procurement of carriages and luggage"

I see.

If I'm on my own, a march buying food in town doesn't make any sense, but if it's dozens of people, it doesn't work either.

No way, I march in town as I forcibly collect food, I can't do anything about it, so I have nothing else to take with me.

The food will be taken by carriage.

Wang Eagle is not an animal that is allowed to walk long distances, so its escort and director will let the bird squad do it.

In that sense, there must also be a certain number of personnel accompanying them in cakedri.

"That's a meeting tonight. He'll have a lot of ideas too."

"Right. Now you should also call His Highness Carol."

Oh, I did.

You can't hub him forever.

"Right... the place is, uh"

It's hard to set up.

The coffee shop is kind of weird, and the drinkers are bad because Carol is here.

I don't really want to use the dorm either.

Weird story, but there are more of them that have nothing to do with this one, so I don't want to bother you.

"It would be nice to have a school building. The college is surprisingly cooperative on this one. The dean is Lord Lyao's uncle."

"Oh, really?"

Speaking of which, I was.

I knew the dean was from the Rube family, but is he Lyao's uncle?

"Let me borrow your keys. Finally, I'll also be sourcing a few drinks and some food. Out front."

Before you go?

From what to what.

"Well, good to see you. I'll take a look at this. Call me when it's time."

"Okay."

With that said, Myalo quickly took his seat and went somewhere.
