I brought the King to the anteroom tent where Lyle Gewalt waits.
Your Highness!?
Lyle Gewalt!?
Such instantaneous.
Indeed, such magic
What is the meaning of this, Lyle Gewalt!
Exin it properly!
Lyle Gewalt exined the circumstances to the King
T-, T-, Then, I am,
g-, going to meet with the Demon lord!?
Yes, otherwise, well get destroyed.
If that happens, will you to protect me?
Impossible.
Why!
If that happens, everybody will be killed.
T-, thats
***
Somehow or another, the King was convinced?And,
we went towards Demon lord-samas ce.
The discussion with Demon lord-sama was held with a small number of people.
On the demonkinds side was only Demon lord-sama while on the humans side were only the King and me.
Demon lord-sama, this man is the King of humans.
Such a seemingly weak guy is the King!?
I agree that he doesnt look like a King.
Oy, Seiji.
What is it, Your Highness?Were in front of Demon lord-sama, you know?
Im just going to confirm one thing
did it not get exposed that we have been deceived to go to war against the demonkind by the goblins and orcs?
What did you say!?
Eh?
Just now, Demon lord-sama
Oy, King of the humans. The remarks youve made just now, was it true!?
Demon lord-sama
Say.~ Demon lord-sama,
Can you perhaps speak Didos Common Language?
Oh, thats right.
The Kings face turned pale.
That being the case, you didnt need my interpretation too, did you?
Why do I, as the Demon lord, need to speak humannguage as well!?You just interpret properly.
Y-, yes.
A poor-quality excuse!
***
The following were expressly interpreted by Seiji.
King of humans, Ill ask once more.
Were you trying to wage war against the demonkind?
T-, Thats
Ive been deceived by the goblins and orcs
It doesnt matter here whether you were deceived or not.
You assembled soldiers for war.Correct?
But, we actually fought against the goblins
Importunate!
Uh, yes, Demon lord-samaits as you have said
The King abase himself.
Then war it shall be!
Could you just let bygones be bygones somehow or another?
Let bygones be bygones, you say?
As as result, didnt we seeded in subjugating the Goblin King
Who defeated the Goblin King?
ItsDemon lord-sama
It seems that human adventurers receive bounty when they defeat a monster, is that right?
Y-, yes.
Then, lets do it this way.
A bounty for defeating the Gobling King,
and apology for trying to wage war against us.
If you can clear these 3 conditions, Ill will overlook this matter from now on.
I-, I understand.
Is it fine to ept readily without hearing the contents of the conditions?
Then, the first condition
The Goblin Kings bounty, 1 million Aurum.
The funds we needed for dispatching the troops, 1 million Aurum.
All together, 2 million Aurum is my demand.
Two million!?
I-, I understand.
Ill have it prepare right away so please wait a moment.
The deadline is by sunset today.
Fa!?
N-, No matter how you look at it, thats impossible!
Is that so, that being the case, it will be war.
It seems that the Demon lord-sama ispletely not willing to yield.
***
The King and I returned to the anteroom tent where Lyle Gewalt is waiting.
How did the discussion go, Your Highness?
Towards the anxious Lyle Gewalt,
the King answered while hanging his head low.
It had been agreed upon that we have to pay 2 million Aurum by sunset today.
2 million!?By sunset today!?
Procuring the money which the aristocrats brought for the expedition
No, 2 million is still
What will happen if we failed to procure the money?
It will be war.
T-, thats
Well, it seems to me that Demon lord-sama didnt have any intention to yield.
Seiji, you bastard!Dont say such irresponsible things!
You should also think about what to do!
Why do I have to think as well?
Its troublesomeee.
Let me see, I have 2 million Aurum.
Wa!?You have?What do you mean?
I took out a lesure sheet and spread it on the ground,
and then, I took out 20, 000 pieces of 100 Aurum gold coins from the inventory.
Since 1 gold coin was about 200 grams, so 20, 000 weighed a total of 4 tons.
Because of its heavy weight, the ground was nearly hollowed so I hurriedly used Earth magic to harden the ground.
W-, Where did you get that from!?
Its magic.
Such a thing, we can now avoid the war with this.
Wait a moment, this is my money!
What are you saying even though its a national crisis!
Its not my country!
T-, Thats, thats right but
If I saved the country with this money,
what would the country do for me?
T-, Thats rightan aristocratic title
I dont need that sort of thing!
T-, Then, what do you want?
Then, I want to have Elena.
What did you say!?
Just kidding.
Well, it looks like I almost got her!
Return itter with double the amount.The deadline is 30 days.
I-, I understand
An easy 2 million Aurum profit in 30 days.
Afterwards, Lyle Gewalt summon 200 soldiers, ordering them to transport about 200 crates.
They carried the crates with 100 gold coins each to Demon lord-samas ce.
A 100 gold coins weighing 200g apiece, was 20kg per crate.
It weighed the same as 10 2-litre stic bottles.
It has be a considerable heavy work.
Soldiers, your efforts are appreciated.
But, arent these gold coins too inconvenient as currency?
***
Demon lord-sama, the 2 million Aurum have been prepared.
Well, you really brought 2 million Aurum..
The Demon lord look at us with mixed expression of surprise and amazement
and, grins with sinister expression.
The next condition is
The Demon lord-sama threw another strange condition.
