"Knock knock knock~"

"..."

"Please come in."

As Ira was saying this, the footsteps and knocking outside the door were unfamiliar, making him momentarily unable to guess who was coming to see him at night... Then, a zombie pushed the door open and entered.

No, that's too far-fetched...

This world is clearly a Western fantasy world, so it's a bit too bizarre for a zombie to suddenly appear... So to be more precise, the person who enters is Mr. Tops, who has a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or decadent) expression and ridiculously dark circles under his eyes, making him look like a zombie.

"Completed... ten water-making staffs..."

At Tops' words, Ira nodded. Looking at Tops's seemingly collapsing posture, he couldn't help but remind him, "I understand, but you could have come and explained this to me this morning, and you... wait, ten sticks?"

I got the mithril from Youyou yesterday afternoon...

"You made ten staffs in a single day and night?!"

Iraq said, somewhat shocked.

"I'm already very skilled with the wand for ignition. The wand for water creation doesn't present any particular technical difficulties. The original text still praises the elemental gods, but the specific name needs to be modified."

As he said this, Tops placed the staff on Ira's table, looked at Ira who was reading a book, and said with half-closed eyes, "However, this time more mithril outlines and mithril spheres have been incorporated, so the mana conductivity should be better."

Looking at Tops, who seemed about to collapse at any moment, Ira clicked his tongue and advised, "Tops, you should go to sleep. You're human, and when it comes to your body, it's better not to think of yourself as a monster."

Tops nodded and turned to leave the room, but soon turned back sleepily and asked, "I've completely used up the Steel Staff. If I want to buy another one, should I go to that Ms. Youyou from before?"

"..."

"I understand, I understand... I'll help you apply later."

As Ira said this, he kicked Tops out of his room... He looked like he hadn't slept for a day and a night, and what he had been marveling at earlier was not Tops' efficiency and speed at all.

What he was trying to say was that Tops didn't need to be so hardworking.

From this perspective, Tops has perfectly integrated into the Demon King's territory... I don't know why, but the Demon King's territory seems to be a gathering place for many workaholics and experimenters.

But Topps can't go on like this. He really needs to find some suitable apprentices or colleagues to work with him on the automatic wand, otherwise he really won't be able to keep going.

Ira himself is actually quite interested in this, but... Ira is not a person with much time or free time. Although he can't be said to be constantly busy, his schedule is very tight.

I'm currently passing the time by reading miscellaneous books... and it's actually quite enjoyable.

Haha~

Ira, who had decided to officially begin agricultural reforms tomorrow, flipped through the parchment book in his hands, unable to suppress a smile as he read. Just then… there was another knock at the door—"Knock knock knock~ Mr. Ira?"

This time, the visitor's identity was easy to identify.

"Please come in, Satan Ye."

With Ira's agreement, Satanye pushed open the door. She looked at Ira, who was leaning against the bed reading a book, and explained why she had come: "Mr. Ira, I heard from Shilina that you took a look at my father's diary before. I'd like to take a look too."

Ira nodded, smiling as he raised the parchment book in his hand, and said, "What a coincidence, it happened just yesterday, and it's the book I'm reading right now. If you want to read it, come along... How did you come up with the idea of ​​reading... your father's diary?"

Ira originally wanted to refer to Faviginho as "that bastard," but because "it is disrespectful to insult one's father," he decided to change his term at the last minute.

"Hmm..."

Satanye looked at Ira, who had sat up, and at the parchment book in his hand that had no cover, and said, “I want to know how my father managed all the territories so easily… why so many territories looked down on me when I was in power.”

Iraq smiled at this.

"That's because of strength... You probably know that too."

After saying this, Ira thought for a moment and then said, "But it's not just that. Even if you were as strong as Faviginho, the result might be similar... By then, the place was already on the verge of falling apart, and any major event could be the fuse."

As Ira spoke, he turned to the first page of Faviginho's diary and chuckled, "And you might be disappointed, your father's diary... basically doesn't record anything serious."

As Ira spoke, Satan, sitting next to him, blinked and began reading his father's diary from the first line... This is the Demon King's diary; it should contain many thoughts on the Demon King's territory, right?

——————————

Today, my daughter was born. She looked like a wrinkled little bundle, quite ugly... It's hard to believe she's my child, but she said all baby dragons are born like that, and you'll get used to her after a while. But I still think she's ugly.

Today is my first day keeping a diary... Woohoo~ I really need to make this a good habit!

——————————

"..."

"..."

"Hmm..."

Satan Ye let out a thoughtful sound. She glanced awkwardly at Ira, then continued reading... The next entry in the diary was five years in the future.

——————————

[Satan has materialized. Before she even opened her eyes, Leiflis had already returned to her own plane. But I'm not very good at taking care of kids... I'll just leave them with Sylina! Hehehe!]

[Ha! I'll go find her in Dragon Valley after the war! No... I can't go there first; she has to come to me! Playing with me and then abandoning me in the Prime Material Plane, is that acceptable?]

——————————

"..."

"Levelis is...my mother?"

As Satanye said this, she blinked, but couldn't find any memory of her mother in her mind. She said, "I thought I didn't have a mother..."

Otherwise, how were you born? Were you split apart like a slime, Faviginho?

Oblivious to Ira's inner monologue, Satan Ye, with a hint of longing, asked, "I wonder what my mother is like? Was she also a Crimson Demon Dragon?"

Ira, on the other hand, was able to provide the answer to this question, saying, "It's the silver dragon..."

"Huh? Mr. Ira, how did you know?"

Satan Leaf blinked.

"Because of her name... In the naming tradition inherited from the ancient Celts, 'Leefris' means 'silver'."

As Ira spoke, he rubbed Satan Leaf's head and said, "Just like how Tikkap's name means 'teacup,' Tikkap is a very common name among maids... Revellis and Sylph are both common names among silver dragons."

Although the latter type of sprite is also commonly used.
