Chapter 1227 - Intermission: My King
【News】
Please note that B2 tapestry reservations will be accepted only until July 25th…… Please check the Activity Report for details.
The castle of the Death King Isis, Land of Death. There, in the large library, Rasal, one of the Death King’s subordinates, was quietly reading a book.
[……Fumu, this theory seems to be useful.]
In the first place, the fact that Rasal became a subordinate of Isis was a kind of misunderstanding, a stopgap measure for her…… not a genuine pledge of allegiance.
Therefore, although she may now be the Death King’s subordinate, she doesn’t do any particular work, and just stays indoors and devotes herself only to research…… “or so only she herself believes”.
Since she’s allowed to freely use the books in the large library, Rasal takes some books and moves to her room to do research.
As expected, even though she borrowed those books to do her research, she didn’t want to damage any of those valuable books, so she only borrows a few books, return them, before borrowing a few more books for her research, and although she never left the castle, she wasn’t so much a hikikomori that she secludes herself in her room.
[……Ahh…… Rasal…… Researching again?]
[Isis-sama? Yes, I’ve come up with a new theory.]
[……I see…… If there’s something I can help…… Just say it, okay?]
[Yes, thank you very much.]
Rasal exchanged words with Isis, whom he met by chance in the hallway, when she suddenly noticed the documents held in Isis’ hand.
[Isis-sama, what are those documents?]
[……These are…… contracts for the gem mining…… which are renewed…… every ten years.]
[Fumu…… May I see it?]
[……Unnn? ……Here you go.]
Rasal had no special reason in mind for taking this action. She had heard that rare gems such as Blue Diamonds and Ice Crystals could be found in the Land of Death, so she looked at the contracts out of curiosity…… but her expression immediately turned severe.
[……Aren’t these terms and conditions a little too lenient on the other party?]
[……Is that so?]
[Yes, the conditions aren’t so extreme as to be described as unreasonable, but considering everyone’s position, the conditions should be more favorable to Isis-san’s side…… Is this the same condition for all your previous contracts?]
[……Unnn…… The conditions haven’t changed…… since they first asked for mining rights.]
Although those contracts were still up for negotiations at the moment, Rasal really thinks that this contract was somewhat more beneficial to the other side. Isis didn’t seem particularly bothered by this, but Rasal seems to be a little unconvinced about it.
(I think I can predict how most things proceeded. The first condition brought up was presented as a basis for the negotiations…… You would normally proceed with the negotiations from there, but the overly kind Isis-sama would probably just give the OK on those terms. I think it was out of fear of Isis-sama that they didn’t change the terms to be even more favorable than that…… However, I just don’t like this. Blue Diamonds, Ice Crystals and Midnight Crystals can only be obtained in the Land of Death. Considering these conditions, Isis-sama’s side should have an overwhelming advantage…… but seeing that these conditions are unfavorable to Isis-sama, even if it’s only a little bit…… is something I don’t like.)
After thinking about this, Rasal turned her gaze to Isis, who was looking at her curiously…… before a wry smile appeared on her face.
(Seriously, what a naive king she is. She never complains that I don’t do a lot of work or that I do nothing but research. She’s even willing to help me…… Seriously, what a naive and easy king she is, making one wonder if this is really alright…… However, yes, since she’s such a naive king, maybe she should have at least one twisted subordinate like me by her side.)
Perhaps becoming aware that she’s getting moved by her affection to Isis, a self-deprecating…… yet a slightly gentle smile appears on Rasal’s lips, before she spoke.
[Isis-sama, if you don’t mind, could you allow me to take care of these matters related to contracts?]
[……Entrust these to Rasal?]
[Yes. Speaking of which, I haven’t been entrusted to do any subordinate-like work…… and since I have some experience in this field, if you could leave this to me……]
[……Alright…… If that’s what Rasal says…… I’ll leave it to you.]
[Thank you very much.]
[……I’m counting on you…… Thanks.]
[Yes, you can count on me.]
Perhaps happy that she offered to help her, Isis accepted Rasal’s proposal with a big smile on her face.
Seeing Isis smile like that, a rather happy smile also appears on Rasal’s lips.
A trading company in the Demon Realm deals mainly in gemstones. It was a trading company that had obtained mining rights in the Land of Death through negotiations with the Death King Isis.
The chairman of the trading company there was a Baron-rank Demon, and they felt very comfortable regarding the contracts with Isis.
At first, when they met and negotiated with Isis in person, they were terrified to the depths of their soul, and even now, they don’t want to meet Isis face to face, fearing her with all their heart.
However, the negotiations were a simple matter of sending a contract with the same terms and conditions as they first negotiated onward to Isis’ castle using a special Teleportation Magic Tool, getting her to sign it, and sending it back to them. This was one of the tastiest deals because of its favorable conditions and large profits.
However, there was a different situation than usual for this year’s contract renewal. Normally, they would have received the signed contract back immediately, but this time, they received a letter with a date and time stating that a representative would be on the way to negotiate with them.
Surprised at this new situation, the Demons waited for Isis’ representative, when the receptionist led them to the representative.
The Demon Chair involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat though when they saw the figure carrying a huge coffin that exceeded her height, clad in a jet-black robe, and the tremendous magic power that seemed to crush them.
[……Excuse me for intruding. I’m Isis-sama’s subordinate, Rasak Marfik. Isis-sama has entrusted me with the dealings, and from now on, all contracts will be made through me.]
The moment they heard their name, the Demon almost screamed. Rasal Marfik…… is a terrifying necromancer whose existence is described in the stories about the Dark Forest. They had caught wind of rumors that the Death King Isis had gained a subordinate, but they had never expected it would be the Count-rank Demon known as the Martyr of Death.
The tremendous magic power that they can feel on their skin is telling them that her ability is of a different order of magnitude, and the Demon shuddered as they offered Rasal a seat.
[……Excuse me. Well then, let’s skip the small talk and get straight to the point…… Revise these conditions. We will not talk unless that is done. For our part, we see no problem giving mining rights to other trading companies. Isis-sama is a kind person and would have accepted these conditions, but I’m not as kind as Isis-sama. Now that she has entrusted me with this matter…… You better be prepared for the consequences of offering conditions that dare look down on “my King”.]
The clear anger and crushing pressure that they felt all over their body…… made the frightened Demon only nod his head.
Makina : [And thus, this is how Rasal came to manage the transactions related to isis, or rather, the Land of Death. Although she brought fear with her, it seems that the transactions are made on firm and reasonable terms. That is, except for when they make terms that disrespect Isis.]
? ? ? : [Arehh? Where’s Serious-senpai?]
Makina : [For some reason, she begged me, saying “Please! Please take over for just one chapter!!!”, so I’m her substitute this time. I guess she may have had something to do.]
? ? ? : [Ahh. (Guessed what happened)]
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
