291 Lesson 30: The Beginning of Fire

"Also, the tax rate is rising."After all, is it about time I became the Demon King? "

"Father, please be expensive!"

Calculating the tax for the entire village to be sent to the Demon King, my eldest daughter, Lila, came into my room with Dotadota.

Again? See?

Because it's the usual thing, I didn't even look at it, and kept doing the calculations while using spatial magic to float my daughter in the air.

"Ahaha, I'm flying!"

"Ahhh!! Only oneesan is naughty! Me too!!"

"All right, all right."

I'll let Mira, my second daughter, who arrived late, come to mind.

"Onee-chan, look at me!" I'm flying too ~

"If you didn't think there were both of you, you were here."I've told you so many times, haven't I?You can't interrupt my work. "

Lift them up, and after a while Sheila comes to piss them off.

"I'm not disturbing you!" I mean, your dad's hands haven't stopped. "

"Still, it's distracting." Come on, let's go. "

Well, well, don't worry, I'm fine like this.

Saying that, I'll also lift up the angry Sheila.

If I went to high school in my previous life, it would be easy.

"You don't have to lift me."

"Haha, your mother is just like us ~"

"Damn it... What's more, that idiot still leaves me alone?"

Sheila is referring to the son of the former village chief.

Since I became the village chief, I've heard that the villagers are preparing something to sneak in while they see it with their white eyes.

"Hmm? Ah... there's nothing I can do about such a miserable fish."Of course, I'll thoroughly teach you how to be different when you're challenged to fight. "

It seems that he was in the second position by the same method as the former village chief, but if the seed was found, no one would lose to him.

Unlike the former village chief, I couldn't even use magic.

"That idiot... can't challenge you head-on"

"My father lost to such a man, didn't he?"

"The most cowardly hand is in the village."

"Cowardice is a strength."

I don't think anybody's going to find out.

The real battle is if you win, you can do whatever you want.

"Maybe so, but..."

“Well, if Sheila's watching, she can't do anything bad.”

"Hmm... okay, but I'll kill you if I try to do anything."

"Do as you please. I'm your father."

I don't care if he's alive or dead.

It's just fun to see how he can set me up in a trap.

"I really don't want that kind of father."

"That's what it is."

I don't want to be the son of the man who lost to that guy.

With that in mind, I put down my pen and hugged Sheila.

This is the best way to fix Sheila's mood.

"Mom is the only one who's miserable! I want to stick with my father too!"

Me, too.

"All right, all right."

Sheila was held in her right hand, Lira in her left hand, and Mira in Sheila's arm.

Now we can have them all.

"After all, we're all getting in the way of our work."

Having said that, Sheila was happy.

I knew it would help Sheila feel better.

I skipped work today, but I usually finish work in the morning and have lunch with the whole family.

"Ah, uh... Garu-sama... how are you feeling today...?"

As sheila and the others entered the dining room, one of the side chambers greeted them in astonishment.

"Oh, not bad."

These side chambers are the daughters of the surrounding village.

When the village chief turned to me, several villages sold me quarrels.You thought I'd win if I was young.

I visited the villages that had been selling fights, one by one, and taught the stupid village chiefs what I was capable of.

Then... after ten years, I became a fearful presence in the surrounding villages, and regularly sent my village daughter as a gift to me.

I tried to refuse, but Sheila told me to accept, so I had no choice but to let her stay at home.

……

I think it is abnormal that no one would talk to me even though there are a large number of people around the table.

The tension in the side room scares the kids, and it's always such a quiet lunch.

Huh, I'm happy with Sheila, but... I'll have to live with them under the same roof for the rest of my life.

"It's about time you let go of your tension..."

With that in mind, it has been about ten years.

"In the afternoon, I will see your sword for the first time in a long time."

In the end, I decided to leave the side rooms alone today.

That said, you include the children born in the side room.

Kids don't get scared of me.

"Really!?"

"Oh, so eat and nourish."

Yes.

"Thank you..."

"It's what I want to do."You don't have to be thankful. "

"Excuse me."

"Haa..."

Maybe it was a mistake to go around another village in the first place.

I thought about it when I saw the side rooms that didn't change my attitude.

"Ootusa-kun"

All right, all right, all right.

"Stroke me too!"

"All right, all right."

After lunch, when I come to the auditorium, the girls in the side room hug me.

We're quiet in front of the side room, but it doesn't matter if we're in our own space.

Don't be shy about Lila and Mila, they'll spoil me.

"Come on, you guys, hold the sword."

Enough to spoil my daughters, and then I'll let them take my sword.

From here on out, we're all serious.

After all, it's a hard place to live if you don't get stronger here.

Everyone is desperately trying to be strong.

Take your turn!

Yeah!

The sides are sweet!

C 'mon!

"Get up now! If it's real, the opponent won't wait! Next!"

Hey!

I slashed my daughters one after another with one sword and put them in lightly one at a time.

"You guys, you can't beat anyone!" Get up now! "

"Mayor! Oh my God! The forest is burning!"If this keeps up, fire will come to the village soon! "

A rushing villager ran as he flew over his fallen daughters.

"What? How long has it been burning?"

"That's strange!" It looks like the flames are being manipulated, and they're headed straight for us! "

"I don't know, but for now, evacuate the villagers to the other side of the forest!"

You won't know what's going on in the woods until I see it for myself.

So I entrusted the evacuation to the man who came to inform me.

I see!

Sheila!

What?

Sheila came out of the house as soon as I called her name.

"The forest looks like a fire."I'll see how it goes, so take everyone and evacuate. "

"All right."

Sheila left the family to me, and I came to see how the forest was doing.

"I didn't expect the forest to burn so much..."

Looking at it from a high place in space magic, the fire was definitely stretching straight toward us.

"Are you willing to fire? There's nothing stupid about that, is there?"

No, it's possible. The monster that controlled the fire might be heading this way.

"The village chief! Everyone has been evacuated!"

I see. You need to evacuate, too.

Where's the village chief?

"I'm going to look at the fire."Don't worry about me. "

Got it.

When I heard that everyone was evacuated, I decided to go to the tip of the fire.

Now, what is the cause of the fire?

”Korosu... Korosu... Mazokuha... Zembumoyasu...”

A person?

When she came to the tip of the fire, a woman walked as she burned the forest.

"Hey! You! What are you going to do by burning the forest!"

I don't want to go on like this, so I stood in front of the woman for now.

"... Mazoku? Mazokuda. Mazoku Hamoyasanite"

"Oh my God, this guy doesn't make sense."Is there a curse on you? "

"You know what? Your body..."

"I'm sorry. I don't have the magic to free you from the curse except to kill you."

While apologizing, I fly my sword to a woman bound by space magic.

"Jamal."

With that one word, not only the sword, but I was ignited.

"Damn, damn..."

Even if it recovered, the flame did not stop.

"Colede... Matahito, Anohitonokataki Toreta..."

"Wait... wait!" Don't go that way... "

Even if I try to stand up, my legs will burn and I will fall down.

Damn it! If we don't do this, we're all going to get killed!

Kaaaaah!

"Giaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

After a while, screams began to be heard from the direction of the village.

"Shit... I have to go help..."

I used all my spatial magic.

Then... the view of the flame remained the same, and Sheila's face appeared in front of her.

"I'm sorry... I couldn't protect my children..."

"It's my job to protect you... I'm sorry"

So I was burned with Sheila.

And when the fire went out over the years, I stood up to take revenge.
