The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

A letter came to the birch dorm room, so when I went to Ginkgo Leaf with Senior Lily, Mr. Myalo sat in the back private room.

"Excuse me, please call me."

I come all the way up and bow my head.

"Don't exaggerate."

Senior Lily answered.

Senior Lily and I sat down in a chair on foot for a little while.

There are three black bottles on the desk.

This is a Howe product, a bottle made by blowing blown glass into a cast iron mould.

I've never done anything called blowing glass, but it seems to take a lot of skill just to blow it into the mold.

However, bottles that have become standard are very convenient.

If you put a set number of copies in a crate that is made to go in exactly in line, the ”chatter" between the glasses becomes only slight, so even if you shake it slightly, it won't break.

Besides, it seems very convenient to have a cork that punches at a certain size to seal your mouth.

Of course, cork is imported, but this is the best way to seal a bottle with liquid.

Senior Lily and I were not involved in this product in any way, and we did it all in the Howe family from development to production.

But why does this bottle keep it?

Normally, these bottles contain alcohol.

Did you bring it in?

"So, what's up? Today."

It is quite unusual to be summoned by Mr. Myalo.

Because the area of responsibility is different, we as developers have few contacts with Mr. Myalo, who manages information.

This was the last time I saw her without Yuri, who had previously elaborated on astronomical navigation.

"This is a new product. Why don't you give it a try?

With that said, Mr. Myalo took the bottle and plugged in the cork unplugged screw.

This is the only trouble I have with Cork.

I'm going to need a dedicated tool.

The cork removal that Mr. Myalo had was something that could be removed by the principle of Teco with fittings on the edges of the bottle.

I didn't want to put so much effort into it, but the plug fell off easily.

"Yeah? Well yeah..."

Senior Lily said in surprise.

Mr. Myalo pours alcohol into the glass he left on his desk.

I didn't know from the black bottle, but the contents were light pink, cloudy liquid.

But what is it?

Did you call it in to make him drink?

"Mr. Sham, please."

"No, I..."

"Well, it's alcohol for women, this. They plan to sell it very high, so if you don't drink it, it's a loss."

"Well, just for a moment...... don't pour too much"

When I said that, Mr. Myalo poured about a third of his liquor into the glass.

A lot.

"... hey, this is delicious"

Next door, said Senior Lily, who had his mouth on the glass.

Something tells me you're impressed with the flavor.

I try not to drink alcohol by imitating Yuri, but I'll be fine enough to lick it.

I poured just a little poured alcohol and put it in my mouth just a little bit.

The rich sweetness I have never tasted wrapped my tongue around it.

It has an alcoholic odor, but more than that, it smells intense like concentrated fruit juice.

The taste of the fruit too...... I don't know. I can't feel anything like sourness at all, it just has an aromatic sweetness.

Unlike wild rice noodles, they are not sour at all.

"It's so delicious...... what? This."

I said, holding my mouth down unexpectedly.

My mouth is amazed at how delicious it is.

"They say it's a fruit alcohol called peaches. It's delicious."

"Yes. Wow..."

The fact that it is fermented with alcohol means that the sugar is replaced by alcohol, so I guess the original sweetness is no more.

The alcohol smell is in the way, but without this, it rots during transport.

If it's fruit, I'd like to taste the fruit itself.

I guess it tastes like fruit falling from paradise.

"It was delicious."

I accidentally drank out what was poured into the glass.

My head pounds a little.

"How about a replacement?

"No, about this much"

Drinking too much can have a negative effect on your brain......

But I want a drink......

Is this what Yuri said about alcoholism......

"It's so delicious. You can sell this for a high price. Hey..."

"Yes, yes. Actually, the purchase value is also high. I brought it from the Papal Realm."

"Uh, from the papal realm"

I said.

I'm not sure, but when it comes to papal territory, I only have a bad image.

"They say some of the Islamist monks often make these things. Live in poverty, wake up every day at a set time, work, be very diligent."

Hmm.

I don't know, but you have a lot of people.

Something amazing because those people made this liquor.

I wonder what you would think of the person who made it if you found out that the alcohol you made crossed the far ocean and was thus being drunk and appreciated by yourself of different races.

After all, would you be happy if you told me it was delicious?

"Oh, can I have a change?"

Looking at Mr. Lily, the glass was already empty.

My cheeks are a little red.

Looks drunk.

I'm deluded by the sweetness of the fruit, but I guess the alcohol is pretty thick.

Probably made it mixed or soaked with distilled liquor.

Assuming you fermented fruit juice, sweetness should be lost in exchange for alcohol, like wine, and that doesn't explain the sugar remaining intact.

"Of course, I don't mind. Go ahead."

Mr. Myalo pours alcohol into Senior Lily's glass.

Ugh... I want a drink too.

I keep all three bottles of alcohol.

I wonder if it all tastes different......

"Thanks. I'll have it."

Senior Lily quickly put her mouth on the liquor poured into the glass.

"Um... it's a very tasty alcoholic beverage, was this your errand today?

And I heard.

Nothing is strange about tasting alcohol for a purpose, but if there are any other requirements, we should talk about it before Senior Lily gets drunk.

"Actually, it's not. I have something else to tell you both."

"Well, I guess we should talk about that first"

"Yeah... actually, it's about Yuri"

You mean Yuri?

Yuri's getting married this time.

......... Huh?

Are you kidding me?

Am I mishearing you? So I looked to the left, and Senior Lily was soiling her mouth with alcohol.

I didn't hear you, but it looks like you blew it out with your mouth on the glass, and it's terrible.

"Senior Lily, this"

I offered you a handkerchief for now.

"Uh, with who? Sham or Myalo Han? What?"

You won't take it, so I'll leave it on my desk.

"It's His Royal Highness Carol. She said she was pregnant."

"What? Pregnancy......? What, baby?

"Yes, that's what I mean"

Senior Lily had her eyes black and white.

Baby.

Baby hey......

Baby?

You're lying, aren't you?

That's what you were doing hiding from me...?

Then I wish you had told me...

I mean, can you have Yuri's kids?

From outside of me?

"............ sooo"

Remaining saying potpourri, Senior Lily weakened as if her emotions were dead.

I thought it was something my eyes could see when I was sitting in a chair and losing power.

I feel sick all over my body.

Maybe I am too.

"You love Yuri"

………

I don't even seem to have the energy to respond.

It's up to me to love you.

How heavy do you think Senior Lily's love is?

I can't tell you.

Oh, well.

Was that why Yuri avoided being alone with Senior Lily?

I was wondering why you would say no so blatantly, because you and Carol were already lovers.

Well, that doesn't mean it doesn't matter how much you approach it.

Wow...

"Is that okay with you, Mr. Myalo?

Does Mr. Myalo not have this much favor by Yuri?

"Me and Yuri-kun are connected by faith...... comrade in other words. So I'm not leaving because I married His Highness Carol. It's hard to say."

I knew Mr. Myalo liked Yuri, too.

I am also academically connected to Yuri.

Should I ask for more than that?

There won't be anything you shouldn't do.

But even though Yuri doesn't feel like it, she loves herself, hurts herself, avoids or tempts her, and annoys her.

That's hilarious, and it's hard on my heart. If you need it or not, you don't need it.

I, too, have restrained my thoughts from expecting excessively and despairing.

While supporting Senior Lily, it wasn't like she didn't think about what Yuri would do if she became a lover to her senior.

"Neither do I. However, Senior Lily..."

I'm a scholar, and I'll continue my academics without Yuri.

But will Senior Lily continue her work even if she knows Yuri won't turn around?

The benefits you get (or executive compensation) are amazing, so it would be beneficial to continue.

But what if it gets hard to meet Yuri?

I don't know.

Nothing, you don't have to get a job from Yuri, and a technician like Senior Lily would be able to live.

"Right...... but no one knows what's coming. Sometimes you two get in fights and your friends get cold."

Mr. Myalo emitted a devil's whisper.

"That's what makes you expect..."

He's a terrible person.

That's the first time I've thought of Mr. Myalo.

"I'm pretty sure you two fight a lot. Besides, Yuri-kun will of course be part of the royal family when we get married, but the ideal image of your two countries is quite separate. Yuri-kun has innovative ideas about something, so the old aristocracy will try to smash it down. Might collide in the process. No one knows what will happen."

I don't know much about politics, but I guess you're saying something quite like that.

When I looked at Senior Lily, my powers were returning to my eyes.

"Yuri will grieve if that happens"

I don't know what you're talking about when you say you're getting married now, this guy.

Blessings...... Although it may be difficult to do so, I feel differently wishing for misfortune.

Even Yuri will want you to celebrate.

"Mr. Sham, I'm on Yuri's side. This is what Lily does because she's the person Yuri needs."

"Even if that's going to hurt Senior Lily"

"I'm telling the truth, fairly. Nor is it a lie to think it's possible."

Mr Myalo, who said so, was so natural that he did not seem to be lying.

I'm on Yuri's side.

For Yuri's sake, I want Senior Lily to do the same work he has done so far.

But I'm not making Senior Lily's happiness a problem.

Of course, you don't want me to be unhappy, you don't want me to be happy, that's not what I'm actively thinking.

I'm just prioritizing Yuri's interests over Senior Lily's well-being.

Well, Mr. Myalo isn't as close to Senior Lily as he is, and maybe it's natural.

"Now it's time for me to excuse myself. I'll leave the alcohol behind, so swallow if you like. I'm renting out this store today."

"Myalohan"

Senior Lily opened her mouth here for the first time.

"Thank you for caring. You're distracting me."

"No, that's about all I can do for Yuri."

"Let it..."

When Mr. Myalo lowered his head with a peck, he left the room.

Senior Lily leaned a bottle of alcohol and began pouring alcohol into the glass herself.

I guess alcohol is needed at times like this.
