Chapter 227 (1/2)

「Wait, wait wait. Everyone, you’re all forgetting something important.」

It seemed that the Sylphids’ discussion had gradually heated up.

The calico cat Beastia, who absentmindedly watched that, leaned on the counter and quietly whispered to Moka, who was eating her second grilled skewer.

「Oi, it’s turned into a kinda strange atmosphere, you know?」

「Nnー? It has, hasn’t itー」

「Don’t you need to stop them? Those guys’re guests from a foreign country, right?」

While saying that, the calico cat Beastia made a yawn. Contrary to his words, the calico cat Beastia himself had absolutely no intention of stopping them even if it developed into a fight.

「Even if you tell me that with that face that says you don’t careー.」

「No, personally, I pretty much don’t care. But, it was through Demon King-sama’s idea that they were brought here, seeー. Wouldn’t Demon King-sama be sad if something were to happen?」

Moka said “I see, that’s trueー” and nodded at the calico cat Beastia’s remark.

As a matter of fact, Moka’s job wasn’t just to simply guide them in their tourism.

Walking around throughout the town along with mankind like this was also in order to see the reactions of the Zadark Kingdom citizens.

After all, for Mazoku, when speaking of mankind, it would be the Hero party that once marched into the Dark Continent, rampaged about, and destroyed the previous Demon King Gramfia in the end.

It could be plenty understood that they hardly had any feelings of avoiding mankind by looking at how the entire nation was making merry and in a festive mood, but there was no telling what of ill will would be hiding and where it would be.

The worst case scenario would happen when they were unprepared. That is why they needed to ascertain the actual reactions of the citizens.

As of right now, the calico cat Beastia had no signs of thinking badly of the Sylphids.

Meanwhile, the Sylphids were absorbed in their discussion as usual, but Moka knew the reason for that.

「Nnー, the Sylphids, they’re a race that basically loves to discuss things……or so it seems. So, they have a tendency to value things like knowledge and experience, and once they’ve decided on a direction, they have a stubbornness that won’t really bend.」

「Hoー. That sure sounds like a pain. It feels like they’d complain even about the angle that meat was stabbed onto a skewer.」

「Isn’t that fine? It makes it more worth doing than with someone with no sense of taste.」

「I wonder about thatー. Well, that might be trueー」

「Yes, that’s right. Ah, isn’t the third one about done grilling?」

「Just a bit more for it. More importantly, I’m telling ya, you should try out the one grilled with salt. I’m using some good salt. Did you know? It’s from the same producing area that that Ichika-sama had created for Demon King-sama’s sake, made with the same method, and could be said to be the salt pioneer.」

「I decline. Today’s me won’t accept anything other than a spicy sauce.」

In front of the two who were talking about that sort of thing, the Sylphids’ discussion was still going on.

After watching them for a while, Moka, who finished up her third grilled skewer, stood up while breathing a sigh.

Incidentally, for the third one, she was overcomed in the end and she purchased grilled with salt skewer.

She was vexed that it was surprisingly delicious, and since she ended up wanting to pull on the calico cat Beastia’s whiskers as he grinned from seeing her like that, this was a good time for her to intervene in various meanings.

「Alright, alーright, everyone. I’m sorry to do this while your discussion is heating up, but this is causing traffic, and you are in front of a shop after allー.」

「Guh.」
