To be honest, I don't know when it started... Perhaps it was after Ira arrived that the Demon King's territory began to become complacent, or to put it more politely, the leaders' IQs dropped.

The leaders gradually began to give up their initiative and instead willingly waited for Iraq's instructions, just as Vera, who had long since given up, said—"Just listen to Iraq."

However, Vera's main reason for saying this was to avoid listening to Ira's nagging.

After all, once Ira begins to explain his actions, he will tell you about a rather meticulous plan and countless contingency plans for different situations, as well as some strange names and explanations.

Phrases like "from a short-term perspective" or "from a long-term perspective" are understandable, and even terms like "optimal solution," "second-best solution," or "compromise" can be barely understood.

However, there is also this strange "from a macro perspective," a perspective that is completely incomprehensible. Apart from Isabella, who was raised by Ira, Vera, as an outsider, simply cannot understand it.

Perhaps only Isabella could endure it... no, even Isabella would be absolutely desperate.

Moreover, the despair did not stem from Iraq's deliberate actions, but rather from Iraq's non-deliberate and indifferent attitude. It was this nonchalant attitude that made people wonder, "Am I the one with the problem? Am I just stupid?"

Ira took over almost all the affairs within the Demon King's territory, and gradually the leaders got used to not leaving things for the court assembly, but going directly to Ira... because Ira would naturally provide the answers to the questions.

Then he followed up and observed how the matter was handled; in his own words, he was "following up" on the matter.

As for Satan Ye, there's no need to worry that she'll become a king who's completely clueless. Although she didn't really care to begin with, she's been following Ira around from time to time, so she knows what she needs to know.

However, nothing happened in the Demon King's territory today, or rather... there were no new things that Ira needed to pay attention to. Whether it was the preparation for trade or the taming of the White Ball Monkeys, both would take some time.

Aside from their daily tasks, such as leading patrols, nothing else has happened to the leaders, except for Vera... Vera is painstakingly creating a perfume called "Bee Flower Snow Moon".

Although she herself might have a particular fondness for the name "Corpse Fragrance Potion".

Following the established order is what lords in a territory generally expect, and it is also the norm, after all, it means that their rule is stable and secure, and that they can happily oppress the serfs, eat and drink their fill, and sleep soundly.

But the sudden quiet in the Demon King's territory made the leaders somewhat uneasy, as it was rare to see Ira leisurely reading and eating snacks at this time of day.

Ira was chewing on small pieces of something that looked like rice candy, while reading a book in the study and talking to Youyou about something, probably related to snacks.

"Huh? What's this? Is it tasty?"

"..."

Ira heard the voice, looked up, and saw someone who should absolutely not be there. He frowned in confusion and asked the newcomer, "Vera? Shouldn't you be making perfume and improving the process?"

Yes, the person standing outside the study now is Vera, who should be working.

"Because I smelled something delicious~"

Vera, hands on her hips, spoke with such self-righteousness as she squeezed through the not-so-large study door. She seemed to have been grazed on the chest, but she didn't care. Instead, she stared longingly at the plate in front of Ira.

“But the distance between your workshop and here or the kitchen… never mind.” Ira said helplessly, pushing the plate in his hand toward Vera, who was already sitting opposite him, and said, “Wheat bran tarts, made from husks that you hate, but they do taste pretty good.”

Before Ira could finish speaking, Vera had already happily grabbed it and started eating. After taking a bite, the sugar and bran crumbs scattered on the ground... and Youyou's face also turned ugly.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I'll have the servants clean it up later... Mmm! It's delicious!" Vera said, her eyes shining as she looked at the plate in front of Ira. "Is rice husk really this delicious? I'm sorry, I'll apologize to the bran."

You ate her up, what are you apologizing for?! You should apologize to Youyou instead!

As Ira was thinking this, Vera began to chant softly.

As Vera chanted and the ring on her hand flashed, several invisible servants appeared in the study and began cleaning up the food scraps on the floor.

"[Servants born of twisting knots, creation pointing directly to the mist... (omitted)... monsters born for me!]"

Ira: "..."

Something seems off.

This time, Ira's gaze turned unfriendly.

The ring on Vera's hand is a common technique used by magicians, which involves using very expensive materials to imbue a spell onto an object. After that, the first or subsequent spells cast each day do not require consuming one's own magic power.

The design concept of using magic power automatically stored in the ring is similar to the [World Spell] around Ira's neck, which belongs to the Archon. Of course... actually, Ira was the one who borrowed it, after all, he used to be a magician.

Different spells have different limitations, and the spell [Mathematical Servant] undoubtedly has the limitation of being limited to [once a day].
