To Deprive a Deprived Person

Chapter 286: Stamp

"Wow!"

"Great!"

"All?"

"It's all"

The children surrounding Inpika spare no envy and praise.

"Inpika-chan, you did your best"

"Yeah. It was hard, but I did my best!"

Inpika brags while showing everyone the plate at the end of her string that hangs from her neck. The plate was engraved with squares and all 100 squares were stamped. This stamp is stamped every time a child helps an adult and Yuu will reward that child according to the number. Inpika completed all 100 stamps while enduring the temptation, as most children lost to the temptation and wanted Yuu's sweets. It's no wonder children praise Inpika. Then, what you can do with 100 stamps is that you can stay at the mountain castle.

"Then, do you stay in the king's house?"

"Good"

"At all, you can eat delicious meals"

"It's like a home for king and you"

The children inflate their delusions and talk about this and that.

"Where is the King today?"

"Jii-chan had the king coming today, so I think he is here"

Mada, the grandson of Mauno, the chief of the fallen demons tribe, talks about a meeting at his house.

"Really?"

"I'm not lying!"

"Then let's go to Mada!"

"""Ouu!!"""

With a cheerful shout, the children started running toward Mada's house.

---------------------------------------

"The production of mithril alloy, which is a fusion of mithril and obsidian, is proceeding smoothly. Currently, we are prioritizing the equipment of the heavy infantry of the first corps, but we can distribute it to other units in the near future"

Yuu and each chief were gathered there in one room of Mauno´s house.

"That's a good story. Bjarne-dono, what's from the deprived people?"

Even when asked by Rubanov, such as a check, Bjarne doesn't lose his expression.

"It's going well"

"I hear you're making some bad medicine?"

Mauno goes further, as if in tune with Rubanov.

"The deprived people are always willing to do their best for the king. There is no need to worry for the beastmen and fallen demons. Everyone is worried more and more"

""What!""

"Do you say that we are not devoting ourselves to the king!"

"Huuh. I don't mean to say this, but I think the one who is doing the most to the country are the fallen demons"

It's the usual skirmish. Both are persecuted by the human race, but not only the race but also the values ​​and culture are all different. Even if Yuu says to get along, it's not easy. The reason Machupi leader of the demons doesn't participate in this battle is that most of the demons, including Machupi, are not interested in such political and power struggles.

"Haa......they're tired"

Marifa, who is behind Yuu, is waiting for an order, but of course Yuu does not issue such an order.

"Machupi"

"Haa!!"

Machupi, whose name was called by Yuu, kneels in front of Yuu with a big posture. At the beginning, Yuu told him at the beginning that he didn't have to do that, but now he doesn't say anything because it's useless to say.

"Stop training demon children"

"May I ask you why?"

"Before that, why are you training the kids"

"It is to serve Odono-sama"

Machupi, who speaks with a natural face, increases Yuu's fatigue.

"Is it the child's will?"

"Since I was born, the demons have been destined to fight. There is no more honor to slaughter Odono-sama's enemies and to disperse their lives someday!"

Marifa nods to agree with Machupi's words, but 「Nevertheless, I won't give up my role」, a fiery glow shines behind her eyes.

"It's annoying, so stop it"

"Th......That"

"Let them choose their own future. But if they're going to train with their own will, I won't say anything"

"Understood......"

The glance that Bjarne understands feelings is sent to Machupi who hangs his shoulders down.

"""King!"""

It was the children who rushed into the heavy air room with the door open.

"Hey! Don't come in without permission"

"Grandpa, just a little is fine"

"Mada. Why don't you say that we have a meeting at home today?"

Mauno strokes Mada's head while scolding him.

"Mauno-dono, how can you tell the date of the meeting, even though the child is the other party?"

"Rubanov-dono, blame me for that"

Mada sits on Mauno's knees with crossed legs. Where is the usual rugged face, Mauno holds Mada with a happy face that seems to be in trouble.

"King"

"What is it"

"Look at this!"

Inpika shows Yuu the stamped plate.

"Eh"

Yuu was surprised and stared at the plate, probably because he didn't expect a child to complete the stamps.

"I'm not cheating. I did my best!"

"I haven't said anything. Then, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, so get ready"

"Tomorrow?"

"It's noon from now on. It's better from tomorrow morning"

"I see"

"Look, you'll leave the room when you're done"

Prompted by Rubanov, the children leave the room.

"King, I'm waiting!"

"Ah, yes yes"

Yuu gives an appropriate reply, but the children have no doubt that Yuu will keep his promise.

---------------------------------

The next morning. Inpika dressed up was waiting for Yuu to pick her up. She only goes to the mountain castle, but she is surrounded by the children. Children can't help but worry about it.

"When will he come?"

Mururu, holding hands with Hende, mutters while looking up at the sky.

"I was looking forward to seeing him"

"I think he'll be coming on Shiro"

"No. I'm sure Koro-chan will come back"

Everyone makes their own expectations, but Mururu, looking up at the sky, notices something.

"What is that?"

"What's wrong with Mururu-chan? Is there something in the sky?"

"Waaa! That! That's it!"

When the children looked up at the sky all at once, a carriage was running in the sky. The carriage is pulled by a winged black horse called Black Pegasus. This is what Namari picked up in the labyrinth without permission.

"Great, great!"

"Like a picture book"

"Inpika, can you get on that? Good"

A gorgeous carriage that appears in a picture book landed in front of the children.

"Inpika-sama, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting"

"Thank you for waiting"

"Good"

Marifa, the coachman of Black Pegasus, bows to her guest Inpika today. Following her are the beastmen's siblings, who quickly get out of the coachman's seat and open the passenger car door.

"King!"

"Why are there so many people?"

Inpika hugs Yuu who got out of the passenger car.

"King, can this horse fly in the sky?"

"Black Pegasus? Yes, this fellow can run in the sky. I will not use it unless it is such an opportunity"

"Doesn't it bite?"

"Maybe"

"Hihinn"

Black Pegasus screams and protests that it will not do that. As it bows its head and approaches Mururu, it is surrounded by children in no time.

"Cool!"

"I want to do it"

"See, it’s okay"

If you can't go to the mountain castle no matter how long this goes, Yuu will separate the children from Black Pegasus. Yuu is tired of seeing the children who absolutely complete the stamp and discuss that they will ride next time.

"E, Excuse me for disturbing"

Is she nervous? Inpika gets into the passenger car while shaking.

"I will go"

"Hihinn!"

When Marifa gives a signal with the bridle, Black Pegasus flaps. The carriage that has been subjected to magic treatment gradually emerges. After turning over the children for a while, the carriage returned to the mountain castle.

"I was waiting!"

"""Welcome to Nameless Castle"""

Upon arriving at the mountain castle, slave maid apprentices line up with Namari and Momo to welcome Inpika. She is treated like a princess.

"Waa......"

Yuu decides to have breakfast as it is and takes Inpika to the dining room. Inpika instinctively leaks her voice in front of the dishes such as gyudon and omelet that are lined up on the table.

"I heard from Namari, did you want to eat rice?"

"King, can I eat?"

A lovely sound is heard from Inpika´s belly.

"Ah, good"

Yuu was worried that the gyudon might be heavy from the morning, but Inpika eats more and more gyudon with a spoon.

"It's delicious! King, it's delicious!"

The small bowl quickly becomes empty.

"Did you eat? Then next"

"Eh?"

The next dish, Butadon, is placed in front of Inpika so that you can see through her inner heart of Inpika, which you thought was unsatisfactory.

"You want to eat different kinds. That's why I served it in a small bowl. Or are you already full?"

"Yeah. Inpika, can eat more!"

With that said, when Inpika finishes eating the pork bowl, the next is the oyakodon. Even though it's a small bowl, if she eats three cups, Inpika's belly will swell.

"Today, I'll feed you so much that you don't like it anymore"

With a bad smile, Yuu puts pancakes on the table.

"O, Odono-sama, it's still morning!"

Dessert is placed in front of Inpika from the morning and Namari and Momo panic. This is because it is forbidden to eat desserts such as sweets only at 3 o'clock snack time or tasting.

"Today is special. From there, honey, ant honey and-maple syrup from Hisui´s body"

In short Yuu explains.

"Hisui-neechan?"

"Somehow I can't lose now. I say something I don't understand and push it"

Whether it was honey, ant honey, or maple syrup, the pancakes tasted great.

"A, Awesome......"

"It's just the beginning. I'll feed seafood during the day to your favorite meat at night and never-seen before tongue dish. Until then, Namari and the girls will guide you through the castle"

"I'll do it!"

Lunch as soon as she sees a place where there is a forest in spite of the castle, mysterious monsters she has never seen, a dreamy place in a huge bathroom that even a giant in the castle might enter. A barbecue using seafood in the courtyard, followed by desserts such as ice cream. Also, as in the morning, Inpika´s belly swells. The afternoon guide, accompanied by Marifa, was fun and unavoidable, such as pushing the place where precious magic tools are lined up and Russ´s room who disliked it. At night, the meat is exhausted.

"A, Amazing....... Enough, please"

Everywhere on the table is meat, meat, meat. Inpika praises meat dishes using various parts and also silently enjoys them.

"Next is this"

Yuu cuts off the surface of the tongue mass that looks like rotting. Inpika understands without any explanation. The scent that drifts from the back of the tongue is absolutely delicious.

"Hey!"

"Why are you crying?"

Is she too happy or scared? Inpika finally begins to cry. After that, she just takes a bath in a huge bathroom and then goes to bed.

"Don't you stop?"

Inpika, who became warm in the bath, asks Yuu why.

"Your mother will be worried"

"I see"

"See, it's a souvenir"

"Thank you!"

On the way back, it's a horse-drawn carriage of Black Pegasus. Inpika looks back when she gets into the room.

"Thank you for today King! I'll come again!!"

"You don't have to come anymore"

Even though Yuu said so, Inpika only waved her hand with a big smile. After that, to complete her stamps. Not only Namari and Momo but also children in the village began to help adults more than ever.
