After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

  Chapter 21 The Demon Lord’s Catastrophe

   "Xiao Ti?"

   Within three seconds after Ira asked so softly, a lovely figure appeared in Ira's room from blurred to clear, kneeling on one knee in front of Ira who was reading a book.

  From the direction of the training ground, through the imaginary world, I captured the call of Ira who was paying special attention, and then shuttled in front of Ira. This process only took three seconds.

   Again, being a manservant is really a waste of talent.

  Tikap waited for Ira's order, but after waiting for a long time he didn't speak, the succubus raised his head and found that Ira was just looking at himself...his face couldn't help turning red.

   "Sorry, I was just wondering if Mana would be different from an ordinary succubus with your natural talent for traveling in virtual worlds."

  Ira, who realized that Tekapu's face turned red, hurriedly said this. He walked behind Tekapu, looked at the cute male succubus whose body was a little stiff, and said, "Please don't resist."

  Speaking like this, Ira immediately realized that her words could be easily misunderstood, so before the other party thought of another branch, she took the lead in explaining: "Next, I will touch your monster's characteristics and extract a part of Mana."

   As soon as the words fell, Ira reached out and grabbed Tekap's tail...

   "Hmm~"

   "..."

   Ignoring the other party's strange cry, Yila let go of his hand immediately after getting a part of the mana, and he ignored Tekapu's crimson face again, not thinking about how the other party felt just now.

  Ira felt the mana circulating on the wing column, and didn't seem to find any difference—no matter which wing column it was parked on, it was no different from ordinary succubus mana.

   "Xiao Ti?"

"yes!"

   "Where is Sirina now?"

Regarding Ira's words, Tekap, whose cherry red face hadn't faded, froze for a moment, and disappeared on the spot. About six seconds later, he reappeared and said, "It's in the kitchen, talking to Lime Sir is discussing the issue of ingredients."

   "Thanks, you can continue to do your work."

  Ira said so, and walked out of the room directly. He began to feel that the servant is easy to use, but it may only be limited to Xiaoti... [Virtual World Travel] is really a very convenient ability.

   "Ha~huh~"

  Tekap calmed down the throbbing in his heart like this, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and rubbed the place on the tail that was grabbed by Ira before, his body gradually faded, and disappeared into the room.

  To be honest, the feeling of Mana being squeezed is...extraordinarily strange for a succubus.

  ———

The kitchen door was not closed, and as soon as I walked to the door, Ira heard Mr. Lime's voice, and he said in a helpless tone: "Little Slime reported that the food reserves in the territory are seriously insufficient. "

   "The ingredients in the Demon King's City are still barely sufficient, but the residents in the Demon King's Territory have no more food to eat. Eggs, milk, goat's milk, and meat are almost exhausted!"

  Based on Lime’s meaning, it seems that he is not just the chef in the castle, his slimes are also involved in the cooking of food in the entire territory... instead of simply leaving some ingredients for the residents.

  However, there is a very important point in his words—although the ration probably won’t be too large, do the monster residents usually have the opportunity to eat meat? !

   What kind of fairy place is this? !

  Ira was a little shocked. If it was an empire, the poor or slaves of the empire would cry bitterly and be grateful for the gift of white bread that was rewarded by the nobles.

   As a result, the monsters in the demon king's collar can eat meat?

"Not only that, only carrots are left as vegetables, and only carrots and cloud vegetables are left as part of the castle. Meat, egg and milk also need to be eaten in a planned way. Residents of the Demon King's Land will only be able to eat blue mushrooms and carrots every day. At least until the caravan arrives in six days."

   It sounds like Lime's voice is a little crazy. It seems that the current situation in the Demon King's Land is in a state of [sufficient food pipes (lanqin mushrooms), abundant carrots, and other shortages].

  But you really care about the situation of the residents in the territory...

  Thinking of this, Ira squinted her eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little more fond of the place led by the Demon King... Such concern, even out of the idea of ​​"protecting one's own property", makes people feel comfortable.

  The caravan in six days?

  If a country’s food source needs to rely on caravans to maintain, then the structure of this country is extremely unhealthy... No, it doesn’t seem to be the case.

  Food is sufficient, but is the diversity of food insufficient?

  In the past world of Iraq, in order to ensure food diversity, it was not uncommon for a country to be both a major food exporter and a major food importer... But in this world, at least the empire does not need food imports.

  The dwarves must constantly import food, because many kinds of crops on their side are not viable.

  Besides, if the demon king controls the area, those races and the territories under his rule will not enter this state of non-recovery, they should pay the harvest to the demon king's territory.

  If there is no war, there will be stable trade routes with elves, dwarves, and orcs, so there is no need to wait for the caravan to come... Generally speaking, the caravan may not carry enough food for trading.

  But in fact, it is possible to only eat blue mushrooms for the monsters in the devil's domain.

  If it is a human being, it is easy to rebel if it changes from a high-quality life to a low-quality life, but in terms of the inexplicable loyalty of the monsters, unless the boss of their own race rebels, they will obediently wait to die even if they have nothing to eat.

   This is the concept of race.

  As for the bosses of various races in the Demon King’s territory, that is, the few people I saw in the morning court, no matter how you think about it, there will be no rebellion, so there is no need to worry about this at all.

  At least Ira thinks that this kind of time can definitely let the citizens endure temporarily.

   "It's a really bad situation."

Xilina said so, and she also took the situation very seriously, and said: "I will report to Lord Demon King, it seems that the formation of the hunting team needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and I will report to everyone at the morning meeting tomorrow. Explain this."

"I see."

   Responding like this, Lime seemed to have thought of something. He continued, "When will Mr. Ira's fertilizer be available? What will the next season's harvest be like?"

It's a pity that Xilina is not very clear about this problem. As she walked towards the outside of the kitchen, she responded: "I don't know, but next season... the next season's harvest at the latest will definitely be better than the current one." Much better."

  After listening to Xilina's words, Lim breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "Thank Mr. Ira for me... No, I will personally thank Mr. Ira later."

   "The entire Demon Lord should be grateful... Lord Ira?"

Xilina, who walked out of the kitchen, saw Ira waiting outside the kitchen. She was stunned at first, and then resumed the etiquette of a maid, and asked him while saluting: "Good afternoon, Mrs. Mister Lyme's?"

   "No, I'm here to find you."

  Ira said straight to the point: "Let me pet your tail."

   "..."

"what?!"

   "No, that's not what I meant, please give me some of your mana."

  Ira was calmly correcting amidst Xilena's shy voice of astonishment...

   But it’s actually a bit strange to say that.
