The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero

V2 Chapter 14 The State of the Royal Capital

Castle town of Zadark Kingdom, Arkverm Royal Capital.

Right after Varvatos was born, the place was just a neglected land, but right now, there were many shops and houses.

Dodging the main gate of the Demon King's Castle, which had become a tourist attraction, and going through the rear gate, the Varvatos group was within that hustle and bustle.

“Hey, hey, what is this?”

Zweita pulls Varvatos in the hand, and tries to enter the store that has a signboard that says John's Grill.

In this castle town, what the trade used was not a cart, but a pretty good shop, and applying the sword face to face, they would sell the goods to the customers.

Hygienic side considered ...... Or rather, it was like the determination of the shopkeeper who settled in that place, and it might also be a threat from him who said that he would not let go of this place.

Seeing the customers coming out of the Grill John store in front of them with things that gave off a pleasant aroma with them, Zweita seemed to be unable to take it anymore.

“Welcome. This is something where Beef and Kagari Mushroom alternate on skewers and roasted. And when a special sauce that matches Sparim and Shagal is mashed and mixed smeared on it ...... View.”

The owner of the Devil's shop took the skewer that was being baked and put it in a pot that had a deep dark sauce, and then placed it back into the place that was being baked.

When he did that, the sauce heated up and gave off a savory aroma.

“Heeh ..... It's pretty good .....”

When Varvatos was impressed by the scent, Eina explained.

“This is a taste that has been spreading in Arkverm recently. It seems to have a fairly high level of enjoyment.”

“I won't say it out loud because it will turn into a fight, but I can proudly say that it has the best taste in this field.”

Hearing those words, Varvatos smiled wryly.

Of course, if someone said that they were the best, the Monsters would claim each other that they were the best, and it will definitely start a boxing fight to decide who is really the best.

“Ahh, so, so that's why there is no promotional sound.”

It was a spectacle often seen in the territory of mankind .... where they said things like “feel best found here", "it's genuine", it's", or “this is his birthplace".

When it comes to specialty products, there are many who will claim that they themselves are the best, and even contests between traders will get very hot.

However, here, such a thing was nowhere to be seen, and the city was bustling with only people coming and going.

“It's more like everyone agreed not to do a fist fight in the territory of the Demon King's house. It was decided to do it secretly. The match was done in silence .... understand.”.

“It just so happens, how is the winner of that match decided?”

In response to Varvatos' question, the shopkeeper smiled widely and replied.

“...... It's unclear if it was through a boxing fight? I was the last one left. It was decided.”

"I understand."

“So, are you going to buy it? If you do it now, then I also have an interesting addition for you.”

“Additional?”

When Zweita showed her interest, the shopkeeper stuck out his fists.

“Ou, not long ago, an attractive envoy from the Demon King Castle was touring here and there, look. Stone-scissors-paper .... seems like the way to compete the latest.”.

“I was thinking of practicing this match started by the Demon King. If you win against me, then one of them will be free, so what about it?” he added.

Varvatos smiled at the shopkeeper who then said, "Of course, it's only if you buy more than two.” The shopkeeper replied.

He thought, “I understand. "

He should have only taught the method of the match to the Four Cardinal Generals before they left the Demon King Castle, but Eina might have made a smart move and taught it even in the castle town.

When he sent his gaze to Eina who was standing beside him, he nodded weakly and confirmed it.

“So yes, that's a good method. We have also heard about the method of that match.”

“Well, that means you won't have any complaints about the match. Oops, if you're going to accept it, you have to make an order, understand? Since there are three of you, will you buy three?”

"Rubber."

The shopkeeper has stones, Varvatos has scissors.

It was the victory of the shop owner.  

“Ha ha ha! Too bad. In that case, it would be six large copper coins. Well, don't mind too much, it's because you didn't lose anything.”

“It's true. But still, what do you think about this Stone-scissors-paper thing, after trying it.”

While releasing the skewers from the fire, the shopkeeper started his answer with, “Let's see ......".

“I think part of a light match like this is good. That's because before, even small things wouldn't calm down without a boxing fight.”

“Yeah, that's right.”

“However, in the end, important things cannot be solved except through boxing fights. I think it was the Devil King's intention to tell us that we should organize and divide that part and choose what to do, you know?”

As Varvatos looked at the shopkeeper who was impressed by him, the shopkeeper noticed his gaze and swung his body as if feeling it was unpleasant.

“. Here, six big copper coins.”

“Aiyo. Here, three skewers.”

Varvatos accepted it, and each handed one to Eina and Zweita.

When Zweita immediately sank her teeth inside, her eyes twinkled as she did so.

Varvatos also bites.

"Lezat."

“Ya, this is delicious.”

"Sure that."

After Zweita's impression, Varvatos and Eina also gave an exclamation.

The taste is a combination of well-roasted meat, mushrooms with a crisp texture, and the sauce, the taste is very interesting.

After he finished eating, and wiped his hands, Varvatos once again observed the area.

In a well-preserved city, and the smiling faces of Monsters were coming and going.

When he first woke up in the Demon King's Castle, he didn't think that he would see a spectacle like this.

“...... Come to think of it, how is the maintenance of public order done?”

“With this place being directly under the Demon King, no one will disturb the public order, the patrols were conducted by the collaboration of western forces under the direct control of the Western General and the central army.”

Hearing Varvatos mutter, Eina replied like that.

“However, what it does is something like a duel” fight

The number of events taking place that would be called crimes in the territory of mankind is zero.

No one would do such things in the territory of the Demon King's house.

“Is that?”

Hearing those words, Varvatos pondered.

When he was in the territory of the human race, there was a high probability that the type of person called a thug was in the back alleys.

He knew that Zweita had obliterated them before they fought with Varvatos, but it seemed that terrible things happened even in places that had nothing to do with them.

It was not in rural towns but big cities like royal capitals where such fools would lurk in large numbers.

Despite being the territory of a king house like this Arkverm, why would a person like them not appear.

“.....” No, the answer has already come to him. Varvatos himself only understood it, and reached a conclusion to the question.

Mankind .... Humans are rotten, and therefore nothing can be done.

Just knowing that, that's enough.
