Maoyuu:Volume 01

Volume 1

Maou: "Become my man! HERO!

Hero: "I REFUSE!"

Maou: "No matter how?"

Hero: "What rubbish are you saying! Do you know how much countries got ravaged because of you?"

Maou: "Are you talking about the Kingdom of the Southern Forest?"

Hero: "The sky is dark, and the people are flooded by poverty!"

Maou: "Isn't that because they didn't consider that by taking the wood of the forest and turning it into charcoal, they would end up self- destructing because of the pollution?"

Hero: "Pollution......?"

Maou: "Ah~. That...So, you still don't know."

Hero: "Don't lie! Isn't the brainwashing of the minister in the Holy Kingdom done by demons!"

Maou: "I think it's rather because that greedy minister wanted to usurp the power, and also wanted to take all the princesses in the kingdom and making them his harem, but failed after being caught red-handed. He then said that he had been brainwashed by the demons, a bad habit of humans.

Hero: "You still want to lie to me......I can't forgive that......"

Maou: "I'm not."

Hero: "Then what about the war in the southern kingdoms. I was there, and saw with my own eyes that hundreds of humans were being killed by the demons!"

Maou: "So?"

Hero: "Haa? The maou who invaded the human world, I cannot forgive you!"

Maou: "This is only a different perception. Everyone has theirs, though, it's true that there's a war."

Hero: "You're evil!"

Maou: "OK, even if I'm evil. Of course, after killing me, you'll also return to wipe out the royalties of the southern countries, right?"

Hero: 'Haa? Only you are evil."

Maou: "Didn't humans kill demons too? Who decided that demons are evil and humans are good??"

Hero: "......"

Maou: "In these situations, why don't you say things such as 'I'm the Law!', 'I am God!' or I'm a Gundam!', so that you feel more comfortable......"

Hero: "SHUT UP!!"

Maou: "As you wish. Let's stop talking about that."

Hero: "I didn't say that I wished something!"

Maou: "Look at this document."

Hero: "What's this......isn't this a parchment? Why is it white, thin and slippery......"

Maou: "That's printing paper, but never mind that. The content is more important."

Hero: "......that, demand explosion...employment? Curve? Consumption trend......rate of economy dependency?"

Maou: "Do you understand?"

Hero: "What's this. A ritual of an evil god?"

Maou: "Wrong. It's an analyse from an economic point of view on the impact of the war on the consumer market."

Hero: "......impact?"

Maou: "Yes."

Hero: "What sense is there to this war. Isn't it to respond to the aggression of the demons on the human world?"

Maou: "If the Hero wants it that way, then I would fight seriously."

Hero: "Ugh!"

Maou: "I don't care if you decide to punish after hearing what I'm going to say.

Hero: "Give up."

Maou: "That's why, please take a bit of your time to hear what I'm going to say!"

Hero: "......"

Maou: "That is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Hero: "Very well, speak up."

Maou: "Then I'll start explaining. Please flip the document to the first page."

*Sound of a page being flipped*

Hero: "A table."

Maou: This is a chart. ......It's a visualisation of the comparison between the consumption and the economy for the last 50 years in the middle land.

Hero: "......Huh?"

Maou: "Seems that you noticed it. Since we started the war 15 years ago, there is a boom in the economy of the middle land."

Hero: "......Liar."

Maou: "I'm not lying. Please look at the second page, it is showing all kind of statistics."

Hero: "The number of deaths bought by war......"

Maou: "Since the war started, the population humans started to rise successfully."

Hero: "No matter how it is, isn't it weird? Wars only bring deaths, so why would it make the population rise?!!"

Maou: "Well, normally speaking, it's indeed like this. However, before this war, the situation was different. Before the war--well, even if wars continued for hundreds of years, in this world, the main causes of death here are diseases and hunger."

Hero: "......"

Maou: "These two causes are very strong enemies, and humans have spent 500 years, but are still hopeless against them. Even when there is a rapid increase of population, the diseases are still spreading, so the number of deaths is pretty high."

Hero: "Whether is it diseases or hunger, it can't be helped. Even of it's the trials set by the gods. But don't put these with the aggression of the demons together!"
