The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 155: Summer Conference

"This is a request from all generals here, except the Howe family. Lord Yuri, it's about you."

That's what Queen Simoney said.

I wonder what it is.

Maybe this is why I was called here, but I don't have any fussies in mind.

"The Three Generals jointly offered to provide information on the technology of the pyrotechnic bottles that the Howe family possesses"

Ah.

Uh, you know what?

Yes, sir. I'm convinced.

"I just interviewed Lord Luke, and he told me that it wasn't my jurisdiction, so I called you abruptly."

Father...

Sure, a messenger came to Luke after the ceremony and went somewhere.

Luke had an explanation of the agenda at that hour, and Luke said, "No, because I don't know. Because it's my son's jurisdiction," I guess I said honestly.

And then I got a messenger who said, "Let's come because there's a meeting where all the generals, including the queen, come, and you're called, too" because of that.

I had plans, too, but I can't say no if it's a meeting where the queen and the general get together.

If I refused, they would have asked me, "It's more important than that."

My parents couldn't say "my parents are in danger" because they were at the ceremony.

"I refuse. That's Howe technology."

And I said it frankly.

"Lord Yuri, this country is in a state of emergency right now. Maybe it's time we worked together."

It was Borafra Noza who said so.

It looked like a civilian, but it was dignified.

I don't feel intimidated at the moment, but I feel the pressure of dealing with a big man, like I'm being persuaded by one of these ministers.

"Sure, you're right. Now let's sell bottles to each Knights from Howe"

"That's a powerful weapon. We propose to produce in each general's house."

It was Orone Boff who said it in a voice like the one with the vocal cords characteristic of the fat one.

"No, I refuse to teach manufacturing methods"

I said.

Instead of the two of you and even Kien have been able to give a slight glimpse.

Why, I guess I still want Kien too.

I wonder how you explained it.

"I am proposing to Her Majesty the Queen."

said Oran.

I didn't tell you, I'm begging Her Majesty to make a decision. I guess that means.

Sure, I said earlier that I was turning to the Queen and I wasn't looking at her.

If Her Majesty the Queen says here, "That's the thing, so go public," this is an order.

"I'll ask his opinion first. Do you have any reason to say no?

Fortunately, Her Majesty seemed to be on her side.

Still, this tone of Her Majesty the Queen is kind of uncomfortable.

From a standpoint, rather than being subordinate…, I suppose that using respectful language on student opponents who are not even subordinate at the present time would upset the upward trend.

"The reason for this is, first of all, that there is a risk of spillage of information. If the fabrication leaks to the clan side, they make the same thing. This is one of the reasons why we can't teach you how to make it."

"You want to sell it to our enemies?

O'Lone got stuck.

"We are not like the unrestrained witches. That kind of worry is an insult."

"Well, listen to me till the end. The second is that it cannot be made outside the Howe family territory. This is because it does not produce raw materials. If I teach you how to make it, you can't make it."

"Mmm..."

Orone shut up.

"Then the diffusion of manufacturing laws to the people only has a negative impact in terms of national strategy, which is why I refused just now. Simple and lucid, I was wondering if you'd be satisfied."

"How do you know when the raw materials don't produce? I'm not convinced we won't listen either."

It was Borafra Noza who said that.

It still seems wisdom turns, and I'm throwing up an honest argument.

"Because you looked it up. There was no such thing as the Howe family."

You mean you took the liberty of checking our territory?

Borafra frowned and said.

Well, that's an unpleasant story.

They were investigating strategic resources for defense before they knew it.

"On your own, it's not. Our investigator's application for a stay should have said an investigation of new resources. Doesn't that mean you got permission on the ground?

"If it's such an important investigation, you should file an application with the center, not the end"

That is true, for example, in the case of terminals, even an application for an official to tilt his neck can be done by bribing him.

It is only a small matter for officials, such as whether or not to check one of them, because the application for a stay is not an important application, but something that pushes dozens of hankouts in their daily work.

It's a document that you don't have to bribe, and if you're not distrustful of your appearance, you're allowed to do flow work.

"It was very recently that you found it important. I only thought I could sell it as a convenient liquid for fire, and at the time of the investigation, I didn't have the perception that it was an important resource."

"You can say anything with your mouth."

"Lord Borafura, isn't there any point in contending in that respect? Do you want to discuss the legality of your stay?

"... ha, okay"

I mean, every house does enough to check the garden tip of the next house.

No matter how sparkleless and peaceful the state of the quarrel is, the movement of the army near the border is important information for boulders, so we do things to the extent of letting people find them in border villages.

Naturally, no application will be made at that time, such as "I am a person named XX who will be involved in the ○ ○ family, and I am staying to explore the movement of the military".

More than that, for example, undercover work like letting spies infiltrate an organization can't beat the King's sword, which is always necessary and done, and it's not cost effective to do it because even if you work hard enough, there will be enough scandals like this lord's affair.

and my aunt Satsuki said a long time ago.

"The investigation and the investigation are not really what we did. There must still be room to explore."

Fat O'Lone said, still grumpy.

"No, I did it pretty seriously. Shall I tell you why?"

"Talk to me."

"Because the material we are producing in our territory may be crude. This is true for wood and iron ore, but there is no comparison with just one sample"

Crude oil is mixed with a wide variety of oils, but from current applications, it is better to have more light oils.

Conversely, if there is a lot of heavy oil, no matter how much separation, it does not take away the light oil that burns easily, leaving all things like asphalt behind.

In addition, from the point of view of output, there are many oil wells that have never been crossed.

So I looked, but I didn't.

"If you're going to be creative or researching it anyway, you'd rather have a good product than scum"

"So you're saying you explored it on your own."

"Yeah. I looked for an easy range to look for. The area falling into enemy hands is hard to find, so I didn't."

"As for this one, it's not a pleasant story"

"… the problem is that it's not necessarily in the realm of the Klu."

I ignored Oran's words half the time and proceeded.

"Rather than that, it's that big, so it's somewhere. I know you're not convinced, but I told you how to make it, and I'm sure it's only harmful to the state."

"Hmm... I see"

So it was Kien Rube who was stationary on this topic that sandwiched his mouth.

"That's a good theory. If we can't make it, talking about manufacturing just calls the enemy into danger of leaking..."

"Well, yes."

"That makes sense. If that's the case, we have to pull it off, too. … but"

Is there anything else?

"As for this one, there's no better way to be sure if you're lying than to reveal the ingredients. Good thing you don't know, in fact, the raw materials that exist may continue to be collected and exported to the Howe family"

Take it to that kind of story?

Sure, Kien's right, but isn't it worse to be fooled there?

If you want to know, just send your own spy and find out in intelligence.

I don't think that's a bad thing, and if it were the witches, for example, they would naturally do that.

Even if you use some kind of manipulation to intimidate me for free (just), it's cheating logic that doesn't tell me, and I don't imitate you like a grade club exposer.

I guess it's a cultural difference.

No, am I too poisoned by the witches?

"If you take it from us, you have no idea what the ingredients are. Whether it can be taken from the mountains or from the fields, it may also be the oil of the beast. I don't know if it's been secretly exported."

"Lord Kien, I understand your concern. But in the unlikely event of a spill, the weapons you're saying are powerful will be used by the enemy, right? I'm afraid of that, don't you understand?

"I understand that there. But"

Kien separated words once and moved her gaze with a rugged look.

"If something like the one I mentioned earlier had actually been done, you know, Lord Luke"

Uh,

Did you want to take it there?

Looking more at Luke, he was normally sitting in a chair without wandering into the gaze of a warring warrior.

Move your head with Choi and ask me for my opinion with my gaze.

I kind of walked into the hall.

"There's nothing backwards"

I said intentionally without suppressing my voice and in a conversational manner.

"If that happens, I will assume full responsibility as the Howe family"

said Luke.

"The oath, indeed, was deposited in the name of the queen. Lord Kien, that's fine."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

That being said, Kien broke her rugged appearance and sat back in her chair.

Ah.

"Then this story is over. Everyone will be tired. shall be temporarily dissolved."

What the fuck.

I don't know if it's one play to fit two people, Noza and Boff... but you put the pack on.

The queen moved, as I indicated, to make the whole agreement a mounted breeze and quickly ended it.

The two complaining until earlier, as soon as Kien settled in, became dressed up as the argument was over, so they are lazy but don't feel like steaming back the conversation.

If I thought my turn was coming after Kien's story, the game was over. It feels like.

Thanks, but I don't know... it feels like there's no standing.

It's like I'm a kid......

Borafra Noza and Orone Boff then gave a gentle thank you to the Queen when they took their seats and left the room.

I guess I'm going to instruct my men on something. It was early.

We'll need to consolidate the refinery's security, too, but that instruction doesn't have to be now.

"Lord Kien, I don't think there's an important agenda after this. If you want to go back north, you should deputize for the next meeting"

"Let me do that"

Kien thanked the queen as she sat down.

"Bye."

The queen took a seat and looked at this one.

Raise the end of the mouth slightly, creating a grin.

It would be like a smuggler's signal.

This one nodded back gently, and the queen said nothing more, opening the door and leaving the room.

Your Majesty the Queen is doing it right, isn't she?

Well, there's no such thing as the majesty of a king.

Nevertheless, has this made a paragraph?

"Ugh...... I'm sorry I seem to have taken care of you."

Tell Luke in a low voice.

"Damn, you mean the liver is sitting..."

I was told to spill it.

"But I didn't do anything illegal."

In the first place, it's my discovery from one to ten, and I'm not obliged to teach you.

Something is wrong with my attitude that it's natural to tell me.

"I'm not angry. If it's going to be exported, don't moisturize our finances."

"Well...... right"

There is no such concept as a license fee in this world, so if it is made on its own, it will not enter the Howe family territory by a penny.

The concept of a patent fee was possible, but since there is no concept of a secret patent, the application itself has not been filed with regard to petroleum refining.

If Howe can take the form of selling and making money and putting taxes on the Howe family territory, that's the simplest and easiest to understand.

It is unfortunate that there is no concept of a licence fee, but fortunately for me, there is no antitrust law in this world either.

If you are in a state of monopoly, you are free to decide the amount here, and you can also sell it at a price that is dozens of times the cost and is like a decades-old fine liquor.

Let me make some money at best.

Well, shall I go home, too? I just thought, Kien and I got eyes on each other.

He was staring at me, so I turned my face and I looked at him.

"Lord Kien, it seems you have been able to help us."

back down the hips floating from the chair again, and I said,

I owe Lord Yuri.

I said.

You owe me?

I wonder what it is. I think you mean my son.

You let me earn my battle results, which means I owe you.

"Are you talking about Lord Lyao?

"No, at the border."

Ah......

I mean, is that a loan?

I'd rather borrow this one.

"If we were to lose His Highness Carol, Noon would have to be decapitated."

Well, that's true.

I'm obsessed with retreating. I'm heading toward Carol. It would be simply pitiful as an action, and a disgrace as a samurai, to have passed through an army and seen death.

I don't think I'm going to die.

"Don't worry about it. You were able to chase me."

"Oh, them. Though I did not command them, they seemed to have bones."

"Well, that sounded like it"

It's a task of an unbearable nature to the miscellaneous soldiers in the first place, so I can say quite a few of them at the time I got there.

"When I chased him, he'd split the squad a little bit and turned it into a throwaway pawn. Because of that, the Admiral ran away."

Heh.

Sounds like you're throwing something away.

Everyone can come up with that tactic of war, but it's not something that can be carried out that way.

I wish the soldiers were robots, but the actual soldiers are not that incompetent, so we know about them being defeated.

So if they ask us to leave the main unit and serve as lords, we realize that we are abandoned pawns unless we are assholes who have crossed degrees.

It seems paradoxical, but normal soldiers don't fight to die, they fight to live, so they don't fight (if they go away) to jump in joy toward death.

Only real soldiers with patriotism and creed can fight without escape in that situation.

Were they that awesome?

"Such a method of warfare cannot be done by a concomitant soldier. You fought well with your own soldiers."

"They didn't have any armor, did they? I was even tired because it was the one that forced me up the hill. No matter what kind of strong soldier you are, you will not be able to fight with satisfaction."

Sometimes I would have been hungry if I had burned the food.

"I guess that too. But for the first time, it's fine. Lord Luke would be delighted."

Luke told me the story.

"Yeah, he's a proud son."

I answered without warning.

I guess I'm used to this hand question because I get it everywhere.

"I hope our sons will fight each other."

Luke looked with a question mark when Kien put on a heavy shake.

Hatena? What does that mean? It feels like.

In the current political situation, the situation where generals compete with each other (aye probably) doesn't even budge, so why are we talking about that, from Luke's point of view, did Lyao and I get bored? Did you even have a fight with him? I would only be able to deduce enough.

I can't seem to respond, and it looks like Luke decided to shut up in some meaningful way.

This would be one virgin technique.

Sometimes it's better to re-compartmentalize the scene by playing heavy silence rather than running weird things in a werewolf state.

"A woman is a hassle, Yuri. Sometimes we break two men who should join hands."

I knew it.

Luke looked at this one and said, "Whoa."

"I guess that happens. Lord Lyao seems more enthusiastic about women."

We have to restrain him.

"Phew."

Kien took a half-hearted breath and took a seat.

Are we done here?

After crossing Luke's back with a grand foothold, Kien put her hand on my shoulder.
