#501 Natto Dowsing

Kinmarie of the demon race here.

A gorgeous woman appeared as if to invade my workplace.

If I recall, her name is Horkosfon.


She took out...


“What is this?!”


I can’t tell just by looking at it.

Beans, maybe?

A few dozen or so beans on a small dish.


However, a white sticky substance is covering the surface, making it look grotesque.

It even emits an unpleasant smell.

#500 A Young Excavator’s Troubles

Author’s Note: This marks our 500th chapter.

I’ve been able to continue this series this long, all thanks to your support.

I intend to keep going, so I hope you stick around!

My name is Kinmarie from the demon race.

I have an ancient and venerable profession—well-digging.


Wells are important. In fact, they are indispensable.

We cannot live without water, so we need ...

#499 A Hot Spring in the Demon Kingdom

Thus, the Emperor fiasco came to an end, but Belphgamilia has yet to take his leave because he finds it troublesome. 

It took him ages before he decided to come here, and now that he’s here, he refuses to return to the capital.

In short, lazybones. 


What Belphgamilia likes most is our hot spring—one of the most elaborately designed facilities at our farm.

It’s originally designed for relaxation, so it must’ve suited his slothful nature. &nb...

#498 Dead Staff Making

Is it just me, or did someone’s presence completely fade during the latter half of this story?

Belphgamilia of the Heavenly Four hasn’t said a single word ever since Sensei showed up.

It’s as if he disappeared from existence.


Actually, he DID disappear.

I look around, but there’s no sign of him.

I search frantically and eventually find him sound asleep in his hammock.


“Killing Strike! Hammock Flip!”

“Gah!”

#497 Lifeless King vs. Lifeless King

The Emperor got his entire body back...?!

I don’t know where he got that pitch-black cape from, but it makes him look even more like an emperor!


“Mwahahaha! You let your guard down! Don’t think I’ll allow myself to be in such a sorry state forever!”

“His body regenerated!”


I knew Lifeless Kings were immortal, but I never thought they could make such a rapid comeback...

“It’s only been two years.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Why are you the one making jokes about immortals instead of me, a genuine Lifeless King?”

“Well, it is quite common for immortals to lose their sense of time.”


How can they just exchange snarky comments so casually?

#495 The Strongest Heavenly Four’s Visit

It’s me again.


We have an emergency.

Belphgamilia has paid a visit to our farm.

He’s one of the demon army’s Heavenly Four and is the strongest among them.

He’s even said to be more powerful than his nation’s ruler and, in fact, could even be called the strongest of humanity.


Belphgamilia is also the illegitimate son of the former demon king, and if he wanted to, he could usurp the throne himself.

He has never had anything to...

Heyo, it’s me, Shabe, the adventurer.


Mayday!

Our entire party is in danger of being wiped out!

We didn’t expect to encounter such a vicious monster!


Monsters in this stratum of Lord Alexander’s dungeon are still low class.

Alas, such carelessness caught us off guard.


I was even more careless because the monster we encountered looked like the plant monsters hanging around the area.

Turns out it was a mutant!

#493 High Elf Confrontation

Let’s have a little recap: Elelelelcy is a High Elf whom we met in the Human Kingdom.

The forests there were on the verge of extinction, but the elves initiated an afforestation project to improve the situation.

That’s when we met Elelelelcy. 


We had some conflict initially, but she eventually understood our intentions and is now helping us plant trees.

Since her name is long, we just call her L4C.

#492 A Chat with the Elf Monarch

I decided to hear our captive elves’ story in more detail. 

I would like to find out through our conversation why they raided our farm and what’s their connection to Yggdrasil. 


“Let’s start with your name, then, shall we?”

It’s me again.


The synthetic Yggdrasil we recently grew had an unexpectedly large impact, most notably on the demon merchant, Mr. Shax, who said, “By all means, I would like to sell you these leaves to us!”


Aren’t we already selling you Platy’s aojiru?

But you also want the raw ingredient itself?

Well, we don’t mind sharing them with you, but only the excess portion, okay?


Money?

I am a supreme elf who was allowed to have twenty sacred Els engraved on my name.

“I can’t believe we created something outrageous again...”


A sakura sapling injected with Yggdrasil’s genes.

With my Hand of Supremacy, I planted it in a vacant lot on my farm and watched it grow.


I was about to grow the tree in the dungeon orchard, but the tree spirits who live there advised me to grow it in a larger plot because of Yggdrasil’s sheer size at full maturity. Otherwise, they’ll get caught up in its growth and die.

#488 Challenging the Homemade Yggdrasil

After confirming things were okay at Bacchus’ izakaya, I returned to the farm.

That’s when Platy came to me with a request.


“Dear, could you grow Yggdrasil, please?”

“Huh?”


That’s...quite the tall order.

Yggdrasil?


“...As in, here on the farm?”

“Yes!”


Rather than a request, this is more of a reckless demand.

I don’t think Yggdrasil is an easy tree to grow...

#487 Shinken Shobu

“In the first phase of the showdown, Samijrah took the lead like a proud Izakaya Guildmaster. His drink of choice was shochu with hot water. The fact that he chose hot water earns him a high score, as it keeps the motif of oden alive—warming the body to the core.”

If so, I’d rather they stop before things get out of hand...

I was curious about Bacchus’ oden shop.


Bacchus is a demigod who has been around for thousands of years, brewing, drinking, and propagating alcohol.

He recently opened an oden shop as part of his efforts to enjoy alcohol with the right side dishes.


As for me, I am extremely anxious because he’s in the service industry.

We’re making juice today.

Fortunately, our dungeon orchard in the mountain dungeon has all sorts of fruits, so we have no problems gathering ingredients.

Plus, it’s easier than starting a tea plantation from scratch.

Anyone can make juice just by squeezing fruits.

Why are these strongest immortals so passionate about developing new magic?

Maybe it’s in their nature.

To begin with, they were unsatisfied with their ordinary life and gave up being human to obtain immortality and keep studying magic.

But for that, you must also be a high-ranking mage to become a genuine Lifeless...
