Chapter 23: Scout System
When we returned to the super special class’ room, we went walking to the dining room . Because of the time, it was not a restaurant dedicated to super special classes, but a restaurant used by ordinary students . So, I ordered dinner normally and took a seat,
“-Well, that’s one of the senior students who was scouted by the Demon King and remained in the castle . ”
“Oh, there are only a few scouted every year . Certainly, the numbers in the scholar’s badge are those of last year . … but why is she with Chrono? And today, the vampire princess and the demon King are with him too . ”
“They seem kind of good friends, but it’s Chrono . I guess there was something that made senior look at him . ”
“I guess he’s going to do something amazing . ”
I heard the classmates’ voices were heard from a distance away . It’s pretty weird, so I wanted them came over here and talk without making an air pocket around me . If these air pockets remained even a few days after enrollment, it would be pretty sad .
“Rather, what is scouting …”
The mutter was picked up by the Demon King sitting opposite .
“Oh, I ask my child to work at the castle without going home . Hey Salamado . ”
“Yeah, but … it’s been a long time since I came here . Liza told me to work at Demon Castle, and I ate somewhere else . ”
“Oh, well, if you’re no longer a student, your mealtimes will change . You’ll have a few seniors, so there will be fewer classmates . ”
Then, it might stand out considerably only by being a senior . Because the year of the enrollment is written in the school emblem used to enter the dining room, if it is a good-eyed demon family, it notices it immediately . In other words, there are so many demons with good sight .
“By the way, from now on, Chrono will also be scouting!”
“Eh!? It’s great that you’ve already got a job offer, Chrono-san . ”
Sofia says so, but to be honest, I don’t like the reaction .
“… Is it okay to say thank you?”
“Yeah! I’ll ask you later in the year if you want to accept it, so please!”
“Yes, I understand . ”
For now, though, I’m almost certainly going to decline .
It is quite fun to dive into the dungeon, but I think that it is also fun to return to my parents ‘ home and live as a pharmacist . And the latter is easier .
… I think it would be a lot of annoying problems working near the Demon King .
I think that the demons who work near the Demon King should have more abilities . That would be more versatile .
“Oh… I had a feeling that I was going to be turned down when I looked into Chrono’s eyes right now . ”

“Oh, is that so?”
“I can’t deny it, because I have Succubus’ blood . So, I have a racial ability to sense the mood, so I can understand it . Well, you change your intention within a year . I’m gonna think it’s good . ”
Apparently, the Demon King has many abilities . After all, I think that there are many of such high specs in this castle…
“… Speaking of which, I was paying close attention to Chrono’s physical abilities and control, but are there any abilities as a demon? The feature is its horn, but is it hard?”
Liza shook her head and asked me . I thought a little while stroking my horn .
“Hmm … no . This horn is a bit hard, but it breaks normally when it hits iron . ”
There is nothing unique to the devils .
Although it is a tribal problem, so there’s no inferiority complex, but I think the special powers of other races are enviable .
“This horn is a reservoir for the magical powers of the demon, but it is normal for demons to have organs for such powers . ”
“Well, that’s right . ”
For example, if you belong to the dragon family, there is an organ inside the body that stores the power of fire, and if you are a wind spirit, there is a bag that stores the power of the wind .

It’s not uncommon for demons to have energy storage organs . So, in that sense, devils are normal .
“Also, we are the same as other demons, but only live a little longer . My acquaintances rarely die, so I was taught in various ways . ”
“I was told a lot about the countryside . How big is it? I looked into it a bit, but there was no city registered at that place . ”
“Is that so? Well, there are not a thousand people living there . It’s most likely that peddlers won’t come . ”
Although the relationship is dry to some extent, the pharmacist is one of the few townspeople who can see almost all the residents .
“When it comes to a thousand or so, it’s small as a city, but it’s big for a village . …… Yes, the scale isn’t normal . And I wonder if the investigation was messy when I couldn’t find it . ”
“Well, it’s a small area in the mountains . There are times when the fog is very high, and above all, the forest is deep . I think there are only a few people who really know it . ”
Because devils are long-lived, they often start their own small towns and villages . So, even if there are villages and towns that you can’t find, it’s not strange .
Rumors from peddlers and others sometimes reveal the place names .
… I guess no merchant would rumor a small, unprofitable town .
The land is big, and the fields are abundant, so it is an area that is not troublesome to eat, but it has only that characteristic .
I feel a little lonely, but I’ve lived without any problems and I think it’s good .

“Rather, for me, I thought the countries and towns where other people live were too crowded . Sophia that is a princess, and maybe being in the Dominator’s, would Yukino be like that too?”
“Yup……?”
She seemed to be hungry, and when I saw Yukino, who had been stuck on a meal from a while ago, she nodded while licking the fat on her cheek .
“Well, I was noble, for sure . The city and the house where I lived were really big . ”
Ah, she was a high-ranking person . When I was in the super-special class, I thought it was like that .
“It’s a group of people who have status or power, it’s a super-advanced class . ”
“But positioning doesn’t matter in front of ability . In that sense, I think that you will produce an unexpected result if you work beside the demon King . I mean, I’m already out . ”
“Yes, Chrono is the fastest and biggest earner in history . I think he’s a very valuable person!”
Again, I got an evaluation that left me feeling uneasy .
“… Well, I’m going to do as much as I can . Let’s eat now . I’m hungry too . ”
“That’s right . Well, it’s my treat, so eat to the fullest . ”
Then, on the third day after coming to Demon King’s Castle, the dinner was lively .
