Chapter 11
A Moment of Relaxation Before the Battle

As I return to the town of Ivalice, the first thing I do is to prepare the Peruna produce wine––––, not, I confirm the food stockpiled in the warehouse .

Immediately, I have Jiron bring a catalog .

Ivalice is an agriculture town . The degree of self-sufficiency surpa.s.ses 100% .

In short the excess is exported and is earning money, but it was never a.s.sumed that many soldiers would gather this quickly .

Will the food stockpile be enough I wonder .

Worried, I investigate, but it seems it will work out somehow on that front .

“This is the result of that Norfolk Farming Method of Goshujin-sama’s . ”

Sati says happily .

“Sati seems happy, huh . A lot of demons will gather you know? Aren’t you scared?”

“I am not scared . ”

Sati declares .

“There are still people who are afraid in the town’s people, but Sati is perfectly fine . ”

“I see, you’re used to it already . ”

“Yes, also everyone, they’re Sefiro’s subordinates right? In that case, there’s no need to be afraid of anything . Surely, everyone are good people . ”

“……well, there’s no bad guys . ”

There’s simple minded people though, I call to mind the werewolf Beio .

“Besides, Sati is really happy . ”

Her smile keeps up .

“Sati can’t help at all with battle, but if it’s battle preparations, then I can help . ”

Like that, full of confidence she rolls up the sleeves of her maid clothes .

According to her,

“If a lot of demons gather, then a lot of meals are necessary right? Sati can also be useful . ”

or such .

“Certainly, when the soldiers gather then it’ll be necessary to have the town’s girls help with cooking . ”

“Yes, leave that matter to Sati . I’m acquaintances with the town’s bakery’s hostess, and I also have retired maids as acquaintances . ”

“That helps . ”

Close to 2000 demons and monsters will gather .
If the town’s stoves aren’t all operating, the food provision might not keep up .

“In addition, Sati has discovered a delicious way to eat the rice called long grain rice . ”

“Since recently you’ve been enthusiastically reading cooking books right . ”

“Yes, although I still don’t understand about half the meaning . ”

––––prefacing with that she continues .

“Stir fry onion until it browns, and put beans, paprika, and tomato into the pot . Cook that with olive oil, put in rabbit-san’s meat . Next put in rice, salt, and saffron and cook together, and it will become really delicious food . ”

“That’s probably paella . I don’t the name of it in this world though . ”

If there are similar ingredients, then similar cuisine will naturally develop I suppose .
However, I suddenly wanted to eat rice .
Tonight after a long time lets order “Rice” .

“Sati, make tonight’s dinner rice . ”

“Yes, will you eat that paella immediately?”

“No, that’s not bad either though . ”

That I recall white rice when I hear rice is sad nature of someone who holds a previous life .

However, it’s true that I’m tired of white rice as is .
What suits white rice is after all j.a.panese food .
I want to eat side dishes with soy sauce as a base .

However, I know that’s impossible, so I decided to make an acceptable order .

“I want to eat Chahan . ”

“Chahan? What kind of food is that?”

“It’s a popular food in a country called j.a.pan . ”

“Haa, it’s juhpan again . How do you make that?”

“Just stir fry rice in a fry pan . Put onion and bacon, and chicken eggs in . For flavor just salt is fine . ”

Really I want to put in Chinese ingredients, but that’s impossible so I give up .
In addition even with just bacon, plenty of umami extract will be included so it’s delicious .
Coming to another world I understood, bacon is not a food, it’s a kind of das.h.i.+ .
Umami is condensed .
If you fry bacon in oil, that will be pa.s.sed to the rice, and it will become an indescribable flavour .

In short, even in another world it’s possible to eat plenty of delicious foods .
While I recall my previous life’s memories, I instruct Sati how to make Chahan .
What appeared on the the dining table was a simple, salty chahan, but it was pretty delicious .

While eating that with a spoon, I recall the faces of each of the brigade commanders that will come to Ivalice .

It has been a long time since everyone is present .

Those guys will gather in this mansion, but at least there are none who would complain about the presented food .

As I eat Sati’s fried rice, that impression comes to mind .

The town of Ivalice overflows with activity .
From various of Rosaria, the 7th Army Corps’ would gather .

The human merchants who heard those rumors gather alcohol from various places, gather meat, gather armor, and begin business .

The 7th Army Corps’ demons properly pay compensation without pillaging, it seems such rumors have reached the farthest merchants .

The succubus Lilith curiously asks me .

“Why are human merchants trading with Maou Army members?”

“That’s because we’ll properly pay compensation . ”

I answer .

“Haa, but, we’re the Maou Army . We’re enemies aren’t we?”

“That’s human’s commercial spirit’s strong point . ”

“You mean shameless?”

Lilith laughs, kusukusu .

You’re not wrong .
I laugh as well .

“––––however, I like this kind of scene . ”

“This kind of scene?”

The one who joined the conversation is, the maid Sati .

I turn towards her .
“Ahh––––”
I answer shortly .

“Looking at gloomy scenes is tiring . I like this kind of lively townscape . ”

“Humans and demons, dwarves and elves, and other demi-humans as well, living together in this world . I think it’s very wonderful . ”

Lilith who heard that is doubtful .

“Is it really possible to make that kind of world?”

“Lilith thinks it’s impossible?”

“I mean, naturally fellow demons, even fellow humans quarrel don’t they . With just the slightest reason . ”

“That’s true . Fellow demons are always fighting over stupid reasons . I can’t stand your face, or, my horns rare more majestic, truly stupid reasons . ”

Lilith agrees .

“Humans are the same . Fellow villagers’ skirmish, aristocrats’ rights, more or less, they always fall out . ”

Sati as well unusually states her opinion .

“In the village my mother was born in as well, fellow villagers fought . Concerning the rights of water……”

“Rights of water?”

Lilith curiously asks back .

“Yes, they fought over the water saved in the reservoir . Years with little rain in particular, everyone was threatening……”

“That’s stupid . It’d be fine if the strongest village monopolized that wouldn’t it . ”

“That became the fight’s origin I believe . I think it would be fine to split it evenly with everyone . ”

As always the two’s opinions were opposite .
Both symbolized their respective race’s view .
No, somewhat, Sati’s is too docile an opinion I suppose .
Humans too, as expected power means everything .
If they’re at their wits ends, they choose the means of using all their might .

“Well, if it could be settled in a discussion, that would be best though . But because that won’t work, it becomes war……”

I didn’t disdain humans like other demons, and I’m not a nonviolence advocate like Sati .

Halfway between them .

“Realist” that word might be ideal .

I want to aim at coexistence with demons and humans, and the other demi-humans, but there’s no need to live like neighbors .

It’s fine to live separately .

Just, their respective skills leveraging their special characteristics, trading like this, occasionally drinking together, if they were to build a suitable relation, that would be fine .

Furthermore, that relations.h.i.+p doesn’t have to be permanent .
Since an eternal peace or such is impossible .

The previous world’s history, this world’s history as well, there was no existence of eternal peace .

Just, even so there were moments when there were times of peace .
What I aim for is those days .
Just a few decades is fine .

If there were at least that much time, then at least while the girls beside me are living they’ll able to live without being involved in war .

As I thought that way, hyoi, from the side Lilith shows her face .

“Ike-sama, are you thinking of something?”

As ever, a carefree and seemingly not thinking anything face .
I think it’s charmingmbut at the same time I also think this .
Come to think of it, I wonder how long the lifespan of the Lilin race’s succubus is .

If a succubus are an unexpectedly, long lived race, then about a few decades won’t be enough .
It might be necessary to rethink my plan .

––––though, it’s about this succubus .

Whether it’s a peaceful era, or an era of war, she’ll cleverly, enjoyably live I’m sure .

A Moment of Relaxation Before the Battle. .
