After being betrayed by the Empire, I decided to assist the Demon King

Chapter 21

"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, I captured the call of Ira who was paying special attention through the virtual world, and then shuttled in front of Ira. This process only took three seconds.

Still the same sentence, being a servant is really a waste of talent.

Tekap waited for Ira's order, but he didn't speak for a long time, the succubus raised his head, and found that Ira was just looking at himself... His face turned red uncontrollably.

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

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

Saying this, Yila immediately realized that her words could easily be misunderstood, so she explained before the other party thought of another: "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 Tekapu's tail...

"Hey~"

"..."

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 the normal 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."

Saying so, Yila walked out of the room directly. Now he feels that the servant is useful, but it may be limited to Xiaoti... [Virtual World Travel] is really a very convenient ability.

"Ha~huh~"

Tikap 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!"

Judging from Lime's meaning, it seems that he is not just the chef in the castle, the slimes under him are also participating 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 is probably not too large, do the monster residents 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 led by the Demon King 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 (blue mushrooms), abundant carrots, and insufficient resources].

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 feeling a little more fond of the place led by the Demon King... This kind of concern, even out of the idea of ​​"protecting one's own property", makes people feel comfortable in the heart.

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, is the lack of food variety?

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.

Moreover, if the area controlled by the Demon King, those races and the territories under their rule do 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 arrive... 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 of the devil's collar.

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.

And the bosses of the 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 understand."

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 issue. 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 harvest. It's much better now."

Lime breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Sirena said, 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."

Amidst Xilina's shy voice of surprise, Ira calmly corrected...

But it's actually kind of weird to say that.
