It was really too convenient to work on the Demon King's side.
This was Ira's thought. He could imagine that if a noble in the Empire was prepared to implement some policy, he would first have to face the subjects who did not listen to orders and acted on their own, and serfs who could not read or understand orders at all.
Then, there would be some subordinates who would trip him up from time to time, as well as some nobles who would continuously brag that the policy was in place and the effect was good. In the end, the nobles would collectively ostracize this ambitious noble.
Then, this policy would never be brought up again. It would either be completely forgotten or given up without any chance to correct it.
If not for the fact that Ira had Yosef's endorsement of everything she did along the way and obtained Isabella's unconditional support after his death, he would definitely have been obstructed everywhere in the Empire.
Although in the end, Isabella rebelled.
...
On the other hand, it was simple to do anything on the Demon King's side. There were obedient demons who felt a sense of belonging to the Demon King's Territory, smart and capable fairies who could not lie, and few intelligent colleagues.
The brain was really a very impressive advantage because many nobles did not have brains. This was not a joke, but the experience of Ira working in the Empire for many years.
*Dong! Dong! Dong!*
"Lord Ira."
Celina knocked lightly on the door. Her voice came from outside. At some point, she, who had already called Ira 'Lord', said, "If possible, we can settle the payment related to fertilizer."
Yes, Ira had previously told them about the process and formula of the fertilizer… Although it was very simple logic, many times, such simple logic was needed to make things smooth.
Therefore, the information about Ira was valuable and should be rewarded.
Even if… although he did not say it explicitly now, Ira had almost joined the Demon King Camp. However, even if he said it explicitly, he still needed a reward. One was called remuneration, and the other was called reward.
If the emperor thought highly of you, he would personally reward you in the court. If he did not want your status to be raised too high or did not want you to become the target of public criticism, he would privately send servants to reward you.
However, Satan Leaf might not have the mood to learn the intricacy of rewards.
Therefore, Ira would not think about such a problem or care. He only hoped that Celina did not really take Vera's nonsense seriously and brought two loli maids over.
"Please come in. The door is not locked."
As he spoke, Ira placed the unfinished book on the table and looked at the loli incubus following behind Celina who pushed the door open. It looked quite cute and very respectful.
"…"
Ira was right, but he was only half right. She had indeed brought him loli, but it was one and not two. Moreover, she had brought her own kind, not a maid.
"Hello, Lord Ira."
That little loli greeted.
Under Ira's questioning gaze, Celina introduced him and said, "He's not a reward, but a servant arranged for you… He's the best at fighting among the succubi. He once beat three goblins to death when he was young."
"Cough…"
Hearing this, Ira could not hold it in anymore. To be honest, his impression of the succubus was a demon who relied on illusions and whips to kill and a spy who used improper methods to bewitch the nobles to steal information. Now, the sudden change was a little difficult for him to accept.
However, such an incubus was clearly an anomaly among succubi.
"Thank you for your concern, but I don't need it."
Ira, who had rejected him like this, shook her head. He still did not think that he needed a maid to serve him. Apart from children… no modern person would be used to others helping him change clothes.
Regarding this, this loli incubus looked a little disappointed.
Celina nodded to show that she understood, but she still smiled and explained, "He won't affect your life, but he can run errands for you. For example, last night, I didn't have to ask Lady Ira if you wanted to boil hot water and bathe."
That made sense. Last night, Ira had planned to sleep with his clothes on, but Celina had come to tell her that a shower was not bad.
"If there's an exclusive servant, you don't have to personally inform Miss Vera even if your clothes are torn. If you want to send something, you don't have to personally find the little fairies… By the way, the pudding is delicious."
That seemed to make sense, but…
As Ira thought, he shook his head gently and looked apologetically at the loli incubus and Celina. He said, "I'm not used to having a maid following me."
"But I'm a servant."
As the loli incubus interrupted…
"…"
Ira: "???"
"Yes, his name is Tikap. You can call him Little Ti. He's a rare incubus."
Saying this, Celina agreed with the loli incubus. She said, "Lord Ira doesn't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable. He'll stay in the training ground to cultivate as usual. Just instruct him if there's anything."
Ira looked at the cute and petite "loli" in front of him and swept his gaze across his beautiful face. He looked at the other party's heart-shaped succubus tail. No matter how he looked at it, he could not tell that the other party was male.
"Therefore, I need to go to the training ground to find… him?"
Ira, who was rubbing his eyebrows, asked. Before he transmigrated, the word "trap" had not become popular on the Internet, so there were some small problems in his current worldview.
"There's no need. That's no different from not having a maid… or a servant."
—Celina?! You're wrong, right? You must have said something wrong just now… You're also surprised by the appearance and gender of this fellow race member called Tikap, right?
"Little Ti has grasped the [Subdimensional Travel Technique]."
"…"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ira looked at this little incubus in surprise. Although he was not a spellcaster, he knew the difficulty of moving in the subdimensional world. He asked, "A trip to the Shadow World?"
The Shadow World was a relatively common subplane. Many assassin-type professionals would choose to escape into the Shadow World to avoid damage or hide. The people of the Main Plane could not use physical methods to hurt the creatures who escaped into the Shadow World, but magic methods could.
"Void World Travel."
Celina, who knew Little Ti's situation very well, ask him to activate his ability and his body disappeared from this room in a blur.
This was more impressive.
The Void World was also one of the more common sub-planes. Its characteristic was the chaotic and disorderly splicing of spatial coordinates. The principle of the teleportation technique was to use mana to analyze the two coordinates in the perspective of the main plane and switch the locations that overlapped in the Void World.
In other words, as long as the person who grasped the Void World Travel had enough magic power support, he could instantly travel from one side of the world to the other. However, generally speaking, spellcasters did not have this technology or enough mana.
"It's not a spell he learned? Instead, it's natural talent? To be honest, it's a waste of talent to be a servant…"
Ira sighed.
With such an ability, if he did not become famous as an unknown assassin god (assassins could not become famous as it was too dangerous), should he waste away here as a little male servant?
