Chapter 96 – Legendary Monster Tamer
I obtained 15,000 Belliose coins. Since one is equivalent to 100,000 bells, it simply becomes 1.5 billion bells. With this much, I can buy anything.
I gave 15,000 gold coins to Blair as well. That makes a total of 3 billion bells. I never imagined that my brother had accumulated that much amount. And I never thought that I would obtain it in this way and it would flow into the Republic.
“Thank you. With this, the Republic will be better that it is now.”
“That’s good. All that’s left now is to return to the Glaznov Republic. The ship will depart tomorrow, so I have no choice but to ask Strelka to stop by.”
“It would be a great help if you could do that.”
As long as she doesn’t cause any harm here and return normally, I’m also friendly. I never thought the pirate would turn out to be a princess from the Republic, but thanks to that, I became rich.

I invited Blair to my house and gave her a temporary room.
“T-These are an incredible number of rooms… It’s well built. Are you an architect?”
“I have the ‘Uninhabited Island Development Skill’. I made it with that ability.”
“Hmm… Uninhabited Island Development Skill? I’ve never heard of such a skill.”
“That’s understandable. It’s because I’m the only one in the world who has that skill.”
“What exactly can you do with it?”
I gave Blair a rough description of the skill. From beginning to end, she listened to my story in amazement.
“――So, I can build houses and install lakes. Now, thanks to the worktable, I can also make furniture.”
“You’re quite handy, aren’t you? Hmm, you are called Rasty, right? I’m a little interested in you.”
She turned her clear red eyes towards me, giving me such a look. Those ruby-like eyes seem to have a mysterious magical power… As expected of a princess, I was somehow drawn to her.
“Well, um… you can use the room as you like. It’s a good idea to rest for a while. I’ll call you when it’s time for a meal.”
“You don’t have to be so considerate to me, an outsider.”
“No, it’s also a way of thanking you for sharing the gold coins with me.”
“But…”
At that moment, a sound of “Grrr” came from Blair’s stomach. It echoed through the hallway, and Blair was blushing with embarrassment, holding her stomach.
“Don’t push yourself.”
“U-uh… T-then I’ll take you up on your offer.”
“That’s fine.”
――After parting with Blair, I continued with the island development. I will make the ‘thread’ before going to the Elf country.
I went down to the first floor and looked for Havamar. …She wasn’t in the living room.
“Skor, where is Havamar?”
“Ah~, if it’s Havamar-san, she’s in the dining room~.”
“Over there?”
I headed to the dining room.
When I entered, I saw Havamar enjoying raspberries. It seems she was having a snack.
“So, you were here.”
“Big brother~. It was boring because you were only paying attention to Princess Blair!”
“Hmm? Havamar, do you know that princess?”
“Of course. The Glaznov Republic is one of the countries that was greatly involved in the Holy Demon War. It’s also the birthplace of the Tame Master ‘Theodore.'”
Theodore?
Ah, his name was mentioned in Ludmila’s letter. He seems to be a companion, but a Tame Master, huh? I don’t really understand.
“Is he strong?”
“It’s not a matter of being strong or not. He’s the one who tamed half of the monsters that almost destroyed the world. His ancestors had quite a struggle.”
“Half, I wonder how many he made into pets.”
“Thanks to that, it’s no exaggeration to say that livestock, carriages, and dragon cavalry have developed.”
What an amazing person!
I wonder why legendary figures are concentrated in the Empire… Probably because of the World Scripture. D*mn it, if I had known this, I would have asked to see all the contents.
“Ludmila is planning to come here, I wonder if Theodore will come too.”
“――In the end, it turns out like this.”
“Come to think of it, the Demon King and the Hero are in a hostile relationship. It would be bad if they met.”
“No, I just inherited the abilities of my predecessor, and the world has arbitrarily recognized me as the Demon King. I have no intention or interest in ruling the world.”
“I understand. How could anyone stand having such a cute Demon King?”
I stroked Havamar’s silver hair. My little sister narrows her eyes with a look of contentment. Well, if it comes down to it, I’ll protect her――.
