Chapter 848: Teriyaki, Model, and Gold Coins

Chapter 848: Teriyaki, Model, and Gold Coins

Just before noon.

Girar was strolling through the village with the orthros Oru.

Not an unusual sight.

Recently, Guronde has been training Hiichirou and Guraru so the lonely Girar and Oru hit off.

Well, it doesn’t mean they’ve stopped fighting but you could say they’re getting along better.

They are currently not fighting for the lead role but are walking side by side.

By the way, Guronde, Hiichirou, and Guraru are training together.

And it seems like Raimeiren managed to join them.

Dors reported back to me with a very good expression on his face.

That isn’t bad.

He should be happy too.

Ah, Kuro and Yuki complained to me.

I’m currently walking Kuro and Yuki.

I have to concentrate.

After the walk, it’s time for lunch.

This time, I’m going to cook.

I mix soy sauce with sugar and alcohol while heating it.

Yup, it’s teriyaki sauce.

I dip a thin hamburger steak into the jar of teriyaki sauce and take it out.

This isn’t shiny enough, isn’t it?

As long as there’s no problem with the taste, all is well.

Taste it.

........

Okay.

I’m accompanied by an oni maid.

And, there’s also one angel who’s helping us.

Alright, let’s all taste it again.

Yeah, it’s good.

「This sweetness is good, isn’t it?」

「I think this taste is something the children would enjoy.」

「I think even adults will like it.」

It was well received by the oni maid and angel who tasted it.

I should have made it sooner.

With that in mind, I mass produced teriyaki hamburger for today’s lunch with the help of the oni maid and angel.

The teriyaki hamburger was popular with the children especially to my and Senna’s daughter, Stte.

She asked for three more refills.

Sette is currently looking forward to the birth of her little brother or sister.

What do you think will happen when you have a little brother or sister?

Have you thought of a name?

She talked about it to the other children wondering if they’ll all get along.

I can’t help but smile at Sette and hope that Senna will give birth safely again.

........

Later, I’ll offer some teriyaki hamburgers to the fairy queen.

There are a number of empty rooms in my mansion and some of them are being used by the spiderlings.

When I entered a spiderlings’ room, I found a magnificent wooden model train.

It was about one-hundredth the scale of the real thing but the tracks of the railroad were laid out and an uncovered carriage was placed on top of it.

The spiderlings were playing on the carriage, pushing and pulling it and when they saw me, they asked me to play with them.

Sorry.

Sorry for interrupting you.

Are Dors and Raimeiren doing this?

Given what they’re usually doing, they don’t seem to do so.

Or am I not just seeing them do so?

Let’s ask Hakuren about it.

「According to the outside world, the dragons are doing it but we don’t. We, the dragons, don’t care about details that much.」

Right.

So, no one manages the amount of money in the market?

「The ones who manage it are the devils who serve mother and father. They’re good at it and they are doing a lot of things.」

Heh.

「However, those devils are monsters when it comes to economy. They’ll happily do it even though it is impossible to control.」

Happily?

「Yeah. The like dealings with out of control things.」

W-well, there are all kinds of people......

And there are all kinds of devils too.

Frau makes a follow up.

「In general, all gold coins are worth as gold coins and all silver coins are worth as silver coins...... However, gold and silver coins that are unfamiliar will be suspected of being counterfeit, hence, losing their value. Gold coins, in particular, is something the commoners are unfamiliar with so they are more likely to be suspected.」

I see.

「However, there are some enthusiasts who collect unfamiliar gold and silver coins so their value sometimes rises.」

In other words?

「It depends on who you are dealing with. In the demon kingdom, it is rare but when dealing with human kingdoms, the type of gold or silver coins may vary.」

Heh.

So, should we separate the different types of coins in Big Tree Village as well?

「......the slider type coin calculator made by the mountain elves, can it also separate different types of coins?」

It only identifies the type of coin depending on its size, weight, and whether it was gold or silver.

I guess it won’t be able to distinguish coin patterns.

No, that means if we can determine the patterns, we would be able to do it.

If we could do something to get it learn all types of coin patterns, perhaps we could......

I looked at the nearby mountain elf.

You should be listening, right?

The mountain elf thought for a moment, said that it would be fun to make but it would be around the size of a small house.

Is it that difficult that you can’t even make it portable?

「Ano......considering the amount of gold and silver coins we have in the village, it would be one heck of a job.」

........

Okay, let’s not do that.

Just make a type sorter or something.

Take your time too.

Mountain Elf: What’s with using coal to make it move?

Village Chief: Have you been peeking.....?

Mountain Elf: I thought you were doing something fun.

Spiderlings: (Another playmate!)

Village Chief: A locomotive is......something like this?

Mountain Elf Maa: Eh? Locomotive? That compact? Eh?

Devil: By the way, please take some random gold coins and lock it in your nest.

Dragon(impure): I just need to lose them randomly, right?

Devil: Yes, please lose them. You must absolutely lose them and you must not take them back.

Dragon(impure): Yeah yeah, for the sake of the economy. Understood.
