#61 Baking Bread

Baking bread is the current trend in our settlement.

We’ve been trying to bake it ever since we harvested wheat.

We already have a big oven in the kitchen, and as a matter of fact, we have everything else we need.

As a Japanese otherworlder, it’s a shame that I’m making bread first since rice is our staple food. I really want to grow rice as soon as possible.

Nonetheless, bread is still delicious.

That’s why all the residents are trying their hands at bak...

#60 A King’s Murmur

I am Genesis the 18th, the great king of the Human Kingdom.

My nation is made of the purest humans in the world; hence it is called the Human Kingdom.

That name is more than enough to embody what we are. There’s no need to begin with a designated name such as “Town” or “Village.”

We’re just like the demons who rule over the Demon Kingdom and the mermaids who govern over the Mermaid Kingdom.

However, the only kingdom that can truly be called a nation is the ...

#59 King’s Return

I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Glasya the Malicious, and the next Demon King.

Before the Demon King’s disappearance, his Majesty angrily proclaimed that he doesn’t need his title as King if that’s what it takes to bring Astres back.

If he wants to cast away his title of Demon King that much, I’ll gladly take over it.

My lineage used to be the chosen one to inherit the Malicious-Holy Sword Fünfviolett.

It may be broken for a long time now, but it’s stil...

#58 Repatriation

“By the way...”

I asked the Demon King something I’ve been meaning to ask for a long time.

“How did you reach this place?”

Unlike Mrs. Astres, he didn’t come by ship, it was just him alone.

It’s strange enough that I never bothered wondering about it till now, but since there’s no other topic to talk about as we relax, I tried asking him.

“Naturally, I used teleportation magic.” The Demon King replied.

I suspected as much.

“It ha...

#57 Adamantine Thread

“It’s done!!!” shouted Batemy.

She’s been immersed in making clothes lately, and at last, her efforts finally bore fruit.

“Miss Platy! Please try this spring-themed frilly fishtail skirt I made just for you!!!”

“Huh? For me?!”

Platy was baffled from Batemy’s sudden approach.

Even the skirt has quite the flashy name!

“I purposely made the hem length asymmetrical to imitate the sea waves, befitting of a mermaid princess such as Miss Platy!...

#56 Sumo

When the ladies have their own fun, we gents start to worry.

It’s unfair if they’re the only ones enjoying themselves, so we decided to suspend today’s work and have a bit of fun as well.

“Let’s sumo wrestle.”

There’s no particular reason as to why I want to sumo wrestle.

It’s a game that can be easily played without the use of tools or going through some troublesome explanation, and sumo is what I immediately thought of, that’s all.

“...Soomo...

#55 Three Sizes

Thus, I entrusted clothes-making to Batemy. But of course, it will take some time for her to bring out the finished products.

In the meantime, I immersed myself in my own work.

I wanted to expand the house now that we’ve got more residents with us, but I also want to finish making the kiln for making ceramics. The bathhouse isn’t even complete yet.

While I was busying myself attempting to finish them one by one, I heard something.

“Do you really need it that bad,...

#54 The Aides’ Time to Shine

The royal demon couple is getting all the attention lately, but they’re not the only new residents here.

I’m talking about the two aides that accompany Mrs. Astres—Batemy and Belena.

These two girls also have their own stories to tell.

＊　　　　＊　　　　＊

“Lord Saint, there is something I would like to discuss with you.”

There came Batemy, alone, which is a rare sight since she’s usually always with Belena in whatever they do.

“I...

#53 Magic?

Thus, we welcomed the demon newlyweds. But is it really all right for the Demon King to stay here?

Won’t his subordinates be worried?

I asked him about this multiple times, but he always replied calmly.

“It’s fine. They deserve some fun every now and then.”

I’d like to think the sinister vibe I get from his smile is only my imagination.

Anyway, the couple didn’t think of their stay here as a honeymoon vacation and took the initiative to do labor.

#52 Demon Court Strife

You better tremble in fear the moment you hear my name, for I am the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, Ravillian the Coveted!

I take pride in being the wisest demon in the entire nation. It is through my ingenuity that the Demon King’s army can counter the human race’s repeated invasions.

…Of course, that’s not all.

I am an actual sage. Only a fake sage indulges in their own wisdom. Since I am the real deal, I constantly restrain myself from acting arrogantly. However...

#51 A Holy Sword’s Murmur – Sequel

I am the Wicked-Holy Sword, Dreischwartz, the strongest holy sword there is.

My thousand-year plan has finally bore fruit, for I have now acquired “The Hand of Supremacy.” With this, any battle against the other holy swords will result in a win!

Let us go, my Lord! Let us find the other holy swords who quiver from my menace and take their last breath away! To arms!

This isn’t the time to seclude yourself in this isolated area!

...Huh? The firewood has decreased?<...

#50 The Newly-Wed’s Stay

“...Huh?”

What are you saying, Miss Astres?

...Mrs., rather.

“This series of events made me fully realize that I still have a long way to go. I fell victim to those conspiracists’ shrewd plan owing to my lack of prudence and compassion, making you, Lord Zedan, suffer through a lot.”

Okay, that may be true, but still...

“That’s why I’d like to stay here and train myself. If I work diligently under the Saint’s guidance, I can abandon my past fooli...

#49 Shinzen-shiki

A being appeared right in front of us, a being that clearly transcends that of humankind; a god.

He assumes the figure of a human, except he’s gigantic in size, and has a beard so long that it reaches the ground.

Is this Hades, the god of the demon race?

Actually, why is a god here with us?

“...I must have gone overboard and summoned Hades Himself.”

You did this, Sensei?!

“I only intended to offer a prayer for turning the area into a sanc...

#48 Wedding Vows

The Demon King is getting married right here and now.

“Are they seriously doing it right away?!”

I understand the need to rush, but isn’t this a little too sudden?!

“It can’t be helped. In order to shut those people up, we mustn’t give them even the slightest chance of interfering. The sooner, the better!”

“That may be so, however-!”

The demon couple can’t help but simply stand motionless against the hectic turn of events.

“Truth is, o...

#47 The Restoration of the Holy Sword

The Wild-Holy Sword Sechsweiss, a hundred-year-old broken sword.

I don’t know how many holy swords are there, but the fact that this sword died the moment it was broken doesn’t change.

But with the “Hand of Supremacy”, I should be able to restore it back to life.

I replaced its broken blade with pure concentrated mana materialized into mana metal. Then, Veil’s dragon breath melted them with the sword’s remains. After putting them together, I kept the sword in the...

#46 A Demon’s Love

“After hearing the history of our race, you must realize how important the holy swords are to us!”

“Y-yes!”

“If Astres has the Wicked-Holy Sword Dreischwartz with her, her lineage will be eligible to fight for the Demon King’s throne once more! Even the senate will have no choice but to withdraw their verdict of exiling her!”

Ah, so this was the Demon King’s ultimate goal!

“This is the only way left to save Astres. Other political means of saving her ...

#45 Internal Troubles

I immediately accepted the Demon King’s challenge without any hesitation.

Thankfully, my saviors came at the right time.

“Lord Saint, we just got back from our hunt!”

“We were able to hunt a Kirisaki Deer today! Please make sukiyaki from this again!!!”

The ladies from the demon race who went to the mountain dungeon to hunt for meat have returned.

Their hunt must have been a huge success for Batemy and Belena to be in such high spirits, but their leader,...

#44 The Demon King

Thus, began the lives of Miss Astres and her two aides on my reclaimed land.

Continuing to call the other two girls “aides” is sad, so how about we call them by their actual names instead-- Batemy and Belena.

I made the three of them do farm work alongside Gobukichi and the others. I thought they would throw in the towel right away, but they’re actually giving it their all.

Obsessed with the thought of having nowhere else to go if they’re driven out of here, they mus...

#43 The Return of the Demon Race

While I was already having enough trouble making clothes, a new one knocked at my doorstep.

It was Miss Astres; an alluring lady and a person of high position in the demon race’s army.

She has returned once again.

“You guys really are stubborn!”

As expected, even Platy is fed up with their persistence.

It was only recently when they experienced a complete loss after trying to invade us, after all. And now they’re back.

Except this time, som...

#42 A Chat with Arowana

“There you have it brother-in-law, that’s why I wanted to discuss this with you.”

“…Me?!”

I asked for advice from Prince Arowana, who comes here to hang out every once in a whileT on how to obtain good clothes that will please his sister, Platy.

He’s the second person who frequently visits my place, next to Sensei.

“Platy did live with us before she got married to you. If you’re talking about clothes she used to wear before moving here, should I just ...

#41 Shelter→Food→Next

The days I spent ever since I settled in this reclaimed land have been quite splendid. I even built my own house and have access to a variety of practical ingredients. You can say I have a fulfilling life right now.

But there’s no end to man’s desire, and his satisfaction only lasts until he wants something new again.

Clothes.

Garments you adorn on your body. Proof of a civilized person. It isn’t even an exaggeration to say that it is what differentiates humans from mo...

#40 Daily Fitness

“Lord Saint.”

“Please stop calling me "Lord Saint". Even the others are starting to call me that now...”

The Lifeless King came over to hang out today. Not that I mind, talking to him is fun. He can even come here every day if he’d like.

“I brought a souvenir for you today, Lord Saint.”

As I thought, he still insists on calling me that way. And wait, a souvenir? I keep receiving things from Sensei, it’s starting to make me feel guilty.

What kind o...

#39 A Maiden’s Murmur

My name is Momoko Akisaka.

I’m your typical high school girl… Or so I was.

One day, I was suddenly teleported to a different world.

I know it sounds like something from a manga or a video game, but there’s no doubt it’s real.

This world is in a pinch fighting against the demon race, so they desired stronger military strength by summoning heroes from a different world.

Heroes summoned from a different world are endowed with skills by ...

#38 He Who Commands Disasters

“Dear!”

From the shoulder of Veil’s dragon form, jumped off what seemed to be a human’s figure.

It was Platy.

“Thank goodness you’re all right!”

She said as she rushed over to hug me.

“I’m so sorry! These demons came after you because of me, isn’t it? I’m really sorry!!!”
The unusually meek Platy feels grave responsibility just from this?

“It’s okay. I didn’t even need to go out because Orkubo and the others did s...
