Evening Glow Hannibal While I had left the Ashtaroth castle in order to see a friend, it wasn’t as if we had decided on a place to meet. All I knew was that he was in the town, so the possibility of us meeting was low. But strangely, I did not consider an outcome where…
Return of the Goddess I concentrated on internal affairs in Ashtaroth castle until I learned more about the ants. However, several weeks had now passed, but there was no report from Fuma Kotaro. The enemy must be very good if someone as capable as Kotaro was having trouble with acquiring information. Perhaps the enemy had…
Warning While it was good that I had now marked the culprit, it would be bad if I turned out to be wrong. Besides, there could be more than one culprit. And so I asked Robin to investigate the Thieves Guild. But the report that resulted suggested that they were innocent. According to Robin, they…
Adventurers Guild The Adventurers Guild was near the castle. In the first place, the Ashtaroth town had been built around the castle. The other guilds were also built in similar locations. We went to the counter in the Adventurers Guild and I asked to see the Guild Master. The pretty guild worker acted immediately. “Still,…
Detective Ashta There was a puddle of dark blood at the scene. It was where the horse corpse had been. “It must have bled quite a lot.” “That appears to be the case.” Eve agreed. I could tell at a glance that this was where the horse was killed. When I declared this, Eve asked,…
Postal Reform The new potatoes spread throughout the Ashtaroth town. They were hot and delicious, while also being easy to grow and strong against diseases. And so in the blink of an eye, more farmers were planting them. I knew that they would help enrich the town, but it was too early to relax. I…
Honey Mustard Sauce We had escaped the count’s castle that had been taken by an army of ants. I returned to my army immediately and ordered them to retreat. “You are not going to go and attack them at once?” Eve asked. “We don’t know the size of their fighting force or what their purpose…
The Count’s Past Once Demon King Ashtaroth was out of sight, the old knight in the back opened his mouth. “My lord, you should have run away with the Demon King…” He said, and then cut down a Hive Worker with his broadsword. The count explained. “Look at this wound. I cannot be helped now.…
Hive Workers We waded through the soldiers that were fleeing from Ismalia castle, and then made our way inside. These soldiers had lost the will to fight. They were consumed by fear, and were fleeing for their lives. “What kind of monsters attacked the castle to make them look like this?” Robin Hood asked with…
To Ismalia Castle Now that we had achieved victory on the battlefield, we would surround Ismalia castle. While we had inferior numbers, the enemy’s morale was low, and as long as the enemy stayed inside, we should be able to succeed. After saying this, Toshizou, who had returned from the field, questioned me. “Master, what…
Free Command We had defeated a pack of medium sized dragons. Not only that, but I had reunited with a strong ally, Robin Hood. Furthermore, he said that he wanted to join the Ashtaroth army. It was more than I could have hoped for, and felt like a stroke of good luck. However, there was…
The Return of Robin! The Morning Star was a drake that was completely red all over. The fact that even its eyes were red made you feel that it was different from the others. When facing such a monster, I couldn’t help but be reminded of how I was just a small demon. During such…
The Drake Horde The graveyard and the moat were on the lowest floor. And above it was the lake. So there must be something else above that. Toshizou asked me about it, and so I explained. “Judging by how this place was made, I would assume that the next floor is the last one. I…
Cooking Man The older man took off the mask without any hesitation. However, the results were not what I expected. What appeared from underneath the fox mask was a hyottoko mask. “What the hell is that?” Toshizou protested with annoyance. “I took off my mask.” “What are you, Soujun Ikkyu? Is this a joke?” “Hahaha.…
Fighting Spirit Award While he had succeeded in slaughtering the group of undead, in exchange, Toshizou was covered in filth. His clothes reeked. The stench of the rotting undead was terrible indeed. “Well, I won’t be meeting with any ladies anyway. More importantly, I’m hungry.” Said Toshizou, but the old man in the fox mask…
