It seemed that Basten and Fred continued to be active while I was helping the injured.
It seemed that Basten was concerned about the rest of the knights.
Everyone in the Kobold Corps could keep moving with a seemingly inexhaustible amount of stamina, but it was unreasonable to force that on flesh-and-blood knights.
If the people helping them collapsed, the rescue would not proceed.
Therefore, Basten, in the form of resting the Kobolds who originally didn't need to rest, it seemed that the knights who were forming a duo with them were made to rest.
Another thing Basten arranged was the lighting.
Basten, the Kobold Corps, Zeta-tachi, and all my genus could see in the dark, so they could move even in the dark.
However, if the knights, who were flesh and blood, wanted to do a rescue operation without lights, they would need to enhance their eyesight.
It seemed that most of the knights used magic to strengthen their bodies during the rescue operation, but if they did anything other than strengthening their muscles, they would naturally become more fatigued.
It seemed that they brought a lot of firewood and lit a bonfire so that they could concentrate on the original rescue activities.
The bonfire served as a source of light, but at the same time, it was also used to warm the resting knights.
They boiled water on the bonfire, made tea, and prepared to fill their stomachs with dried fruits and dried meat brought out from Tunnel 7.
"There are still people waiting to be rescued under the snow, so is it okay for me to rest like this ..."
"Wafuu, Basten said not to rush. We still have to search for them, and it would be meaningless if you collapsed on the way."
"I see, if Basten-dono, the 'Burning Fire' said so, then there is no doubt about it."
After Camilla declared she would take the throne, it seemed that our existence was widely known among the knights.
The Demon Lord Kent Kokubu and the legendary knights known as the Three Loyal Retainers of Resenburg.
It seemed that the knights felt more familiar with Basten and the others than the mysterious Demon Lord.
"Umu, these are the words of those who supported the Wise King Arthur."
"Wau, he's telling you to take a good rest and nourish your energy."
"Hah! Thank you very much."
It seemed that you could communicate with the knights just by exchanging salutes.
It seemed that the cooperation between the Kobold Corps and the Knights Order was on track, and while rescue operations were being carried out in towns and the housing complex, Fred headed for the mines with a separate unit.
As the moon set and the area was enveloped in darkness, they moved the snow on the road to the mine through the shadow space, and finally removed the snow that was blocking the entrance to the mine.
"Uwaa, what, it suddenly collapsed."
"Hey, what's going on in town?"
"Something like that, in this darkness, you can't see it!"
"Light, bring a light!"
It seemed that the vibrations of the avalanche were transmitted to the people working inside the mine, and people had gathered near the entrance of the tunnel blocked by snow.
"Look, the office is being crushed."
"More importantly, why is there no snow on the road. Who moved it."
"I don't know. Rather than that, isn't it better to go back to town?"
"But, if you leave your job and go back ..."
"The subordinates of the manager are under the snow. If not done well, our families ..."
"Let's go back! Bring the lights, we're going back to town!"
The miners had no way of knowing who cleared the snow for the town, but they seemed to be more worried about their families, and they returned to the town one after another.
What awaited the miners who returned to the city was an unimaginable sight.
"What's going on, the city isn't there ..."
"Are knights and Kobolds working together?"
"You idiot! If you have time to be stupid, go help!"
In the mines of the Calvine Territory, excavation work continued without rest in a three-shift system.
The avalanche buried only the entrance to the mine, so the men working inside were safe and unharmed, so Fred decided to use them as a labor force for rescue work.
The men who had been in the mines returned and more people were rescued, but more and more people who were injured died.
Furthermore, a commotion broke out when rumors spread that the avalanche was caused by explosives, and that the royal knights had arrived and captured the managers.
"Bastard, up until now, you've done as you please."
"Wait, it was orders from above ... Guha!"
"Don't mess with me! Didn't you just do it with pleasure!"
"Wait ... I'm sorry, wait ... Gaha!"
"For the grudge up until now, remember it!"
It seemed that the underlings of the manager who had been oppressing the residents until now were being beaten because they lost their backing.
"You guys, what are you doing!"
"Th, this guy is an underling of the manager ..."
"There's no time to get involved with such a guy. Rather than beat him to death, monitor him and have him help rescue others. Right now, saving as many people as possible comes first!"
"Y, yes!"
It was said that every time a skirmish was found, the knights intervened to prevent lynching by the residents on the grounds of rescue.
The knights didn't seem to have any sympathy for the underlings who killed their colleagues, but since they were short of hands, they seemed to prioritize rescue.
In the darkness after the moon had set, the rescue proceeded with magic tools and torches, but as the sky began to lighten, the tragic situation became clear.
Collapsed houses, furniture, and people who were crushed to death by the weight of the snow were lined up on the snowfield.
By the time the sun rose high, mourning and sobbing filled the city.
It was Camilla who brought a ray of hope to a city drowning in sorrow.
She took her secretary, Bacchus, and listened to what the residents had to say and continued to encourage them.
The residents of the Calvine Territory didn't seem to think that a real Princess would come, but they were overwhelmed by the aura of royalty that Camilla wore, and no one doubted it.
"Don't worry, we won't abandon you guys. You will definitely return to your original lives ... No, let's make sure that the residents can truly feel happy this time."
"Thank you very much, Camilla-sama ..."
The way she interacted with the residents without building walls while retaining the dignity of the Royal Family was probably something that was cultivated in Lastock.
Reinhardt assisted Camilla's activities, but it started becoming a problem as the sun rose higher.
No matter how much it was explained, the Skeleton's appearance still seemed strange.
[ Kent-sama, we will assist you from the shadows. ]
[ Alright. Tell the Kobold Corps and Zeta-tachi to return when things settle down. ]
[ Roger that. ]
Treatment at the first-aid stations peaked until the morning of the day after the avalanche occurred.
Around noon, only those with minor injuries were rescued, and those with serious injuries were dug out in a dead state.
Yuika and Manon were also resting in the resting room, handing over the treatment to the Resenburg healers.
Both of them seemed to be exhausted, and fell asleep soundly together with Hurt and Hert, who had returned.(TN:Note, Hurt is assigned to Manon and Hert to Yuika.)
Of course, Yuika continued to use her healing magic, but Manon, who sorted out the injured, continued to move almost without taking a break, so it was no wonder.
[ Kent-sama, please take a rest with them. ]
[ Yup, just a little longer ... ]
[ What are you doing? ]
[ Yup, I'm thinking of building a warehouse. ]
[ A warehouse ... is it? ]
I would secure a corner of the city near the aid station as a warehouse site.
[ I'll enclose it with a shield of darkness, so could you move the rubble around and clear the space? ]
[ An easy task for us. ]
With the help of the Kobolds and Zeta-tachi who had returned from the rescue work, we secured space to build a warehouse.
Similar to the temporary building, a square warehouse was created using earth attribute magic.
"Zeta, Eta, Theta, can you harden it again?"
"Leave it to me, Nushi-dono."
A warehouse suddenly appeared, and residents, knights, and Camilla gathered.
"Maou-sama, this is ..."
"Yup, it's a warehouse for exchanging supplies with the Royal Capital."
"With the Royal Capital?"
"Yup, people can't be sent, but things can be sent."
The warehouse system was an application of the method of transporting goods between Volzard and Breichberg.
If you made the inside of the warehouse pitch black, everyone in my genus would be able to move goods through the shadow space.
I explained the mechanism to Camilla, and the actual operation would be handled by the Kobold Corps who had free hands centered on Hart.
"So you can transport goods from here to the Royal Capital in an instant."
"Yup, but don't think you can use it all the time. When the snow disappears and the pass becomes passable, it'll have to be transported by land, so make preparations for that."
"As you wish."
"Also, have you decided who will manage the Calvine Territory?"
"Yes, we have already completed the selection of those people."
"Then, let's repatriate them later. Camilla will also return to the capital, right?"
"Yes, but a little more ..."
"Yup, then let's do it at night. I'll send Camilla to the Royal Capital, and then send the people in charge here. Write a letter with instructions to the Knight Commander. I'll have Hart deliver it."
"As you wish."
"Also, take a rest. I won't take care of you if you fall down."
"Yes, Maou-sama too, please rest for a while."
"Yup, I'll rest when this is over."
While I was talking to Camilla, the surroundings started to get noisy.
"Hey, who is that kid?"
"Camilla-sama called him 'Maou-sama' ..."
"Isn't that person a healer?"
"Isn't he a Monster User, he gave instructions to the Kobolds."
It wasn't unreasonable to gossip about a child who spoke pompously to the Princess of their own country.
Maa, it's troublesome, so I won't correct or explain.
"Then, I ..."
"Die, Camilla!"
When we finished preparing the warehouse and were about to head to the break room, a man with a knife around his waist jumped out from the crowd watching the warehouse and us from afar.
"Uwaa! Wh, what is ... Gue."
The man with the knife hit the shield of darkness that I had deployed suddenly and fell on his buttocks.
"Maou-sama, thank you very much."
"Yup, there will still be remnants of Havre-tachi, so be careful."
"I got it."
Seeing Camilla kneeling and thanking me, the crowd groaned, but it's a hassle, so I won't explain it.
But, I was a little worried, so I called Hart, who was in charge of the rescue work, back to guard.
"Hart, please guard from the shadows
"Wafuu, leave it to me, Goshujin-sama."
Yuika and Manon were still dreaming when I went to the resting room behind the aid station.
It was nice to see them sleeping side by side with their foreheads huddled together, it looked yuri-like.
If possible, I'd like to sleep between the two of them, but I felt sorry to wake them up, so I'll sleep in the corner of the room.
As soon as I lay down on the rug, Mart and the others crawled into the blanket.
"Everyone, good work."
"Wafuu, Goshujin-sama, stroke me, stroke me."
"Me too, me too."
"Wau, rub my belly."
It seemed that I was tired after all, and I fell asleep while mofu-ing Mart and the others.
Yup, mofumofu is the best.
I wondered how long it had been.
When I woke up from a deep sleep, it felt like someone was stroking my head.
When they combed my untidy hair with a hand comb and arranged it, I was gently stroked as if they were lulling a child to sleep.
"Okaa-san ..."
While I was more than half asleep, the hand that was stroking my head stopped at the words that came out of my mouth.
"Don't go ..."
A soft hand wrapped my right hand, which I stretched out as if wandering.
At the same time, my head was gently stroked again.
My floating consciousness slowly sank into sleep again.
When my consciousness emerged again after a while, what caught my eye was light blue hair.
Su~su~to, small breaths tickled my cheeks.
I could feel a soft warmth on my back as I lay with my left hand down, and I could also hear soft breathing from there.
This is, I'm sandwiched between Manon and Yuika.
Perhaps I unconsciously forced myself in between the two.
Or did the two of them move with me in between perhaps.
Either way, in such a blissful moment, I had no choice but to enjoy it.
When I was staring at Manon's sleeping face while feeling Yuika's warmth, her long eyelashes twitched and her eyelids slowly opened.
When her blue eyes, which were swaying like the sea, caught my gaze, Manon's cheeks, which had been pure white, turned red.
Kuu, what is this, this cute creature.
Can I give you a hug? No, even if you say it's no good I'll still hug you.
"Morning, Manon."
"Uuu ... Morning, Kent. Were you watching the whole time ...?"
"Nope, I just woke up too."
"My sleeping face ... it's embarrassing."
Manon buried her face in my chest and complained.
Kuuuh, what, this destructive power, at this rate ... Afuu, my back ...
"Morning, Kento."
"Morning, Yuika. Did you get some rest?"
"Yup, I'm still a little sleepy, but I'm much less tired ... Ehh?"
That's right, both of them worked hard, so I have to heal them.
When I circulated healing magic between myself, Manon, and Yuika, I felt that the fatigue that clung to my body was gone.
"Now, let's go back to Volzard."
"Yup, right."
"I also agree."
As the three of us got up, our stomachs all complained.
"After returning, shall we eat at Amanda-san's restaurant?"
"Yup, but wait a minute, I'll check how the treatment is going."
"I will also finish the handover of the patients."
"Well then, I'll finish transporting the knights in the meantime."
After parting with Yuika and Manon, who would hand over the first aid station, I would send Camilla to the capital and bring in additional personnel.
When I got out of the resting room, everyone in the first aid room turned their eyes on me, and I heard a hustle and bustle of voices.
[ While Kent-sama was resting, it seems that the story of Demon King Kent Kokubu was passed on. ]
[ Is that so. Maa, I don't think there will be many opportunities to come here, so it's fine ... ]
That's what I thought, but when I took a step forward, the healers who were treating people fell to their knees, and the people around me began to kneel as well.
Among them, there were people who had not yet finished their treatment and were about to kneel while their faces were distorted in pain.
"Aahh, no good, no good, you don't have to do that, wait, wait, don't force yourself to move."
"Hii, h, help me ..."
When I walked up to someone who was trying to force themselves to move with their injured leg, their face turned pale and they tried to back away.
Seriously, to such a good boy, what is there for you to be afraid of.
When I treated his trembling legs with healing magic, the man opened his eyes wide and froze.
"Umm ... For convenience sake, I'm called a Demon Lord, but I'm not that scary, so don't worry."
"Y, yes ..."
I passed through the people who seemed to be half in doubt and headed to Camilla.
Camilla was standing on a street corner and giving instructions to Magdalos.
With her brisk movements, she still had the aura of royalty, but her eyes didn't look as strong as usual.
She must have been working hard without even taking a break.
"Camilla, we will be withdrawing soon, so I will send you to the Royal Capital."
"Ha!, I have already completed the transfer, so I'll be in your care."
"What are you going to do with the five managers? Send them to the Royal Capital?"
"No, those people are going to be judged in this land."
"Alright, then, let's go."
I let Mart and the others go to the Royal Castle and search for the Knight Commander, repatriated Camilla to a nearby location, and immediately followed behind her as a shadow.
"Aahh, Camilla-sama, and Maou-sama, welcome back."
"Berdets, please gather the personnel for the government. Maou-sama will send them immediately."
"As you wish. They're already waiting."
The civilian and military officers who were waiting in the separate room, along with their luggage, were repatriated to govern the Calvine Territory under direct control.
"Then, I'll go back to drop Yuika-tachi off, so get some rest."
"Yes, Maou-sama, thank you very much."
"Yup, let's talk about reparations again when the Calvine Territory calms down."
"As you wish."
While being sent off by the kneeling Camilla and Knight Commander, I retreated into the shadows and returned to the Calvine Territory. After sending Yuika and Manon back, I returned to Volzard.
Transfer of control completed

It seemed that Basten and Fred continued to be active while I was helping the injured.
It seemed that Basten was concerned about the rest of the knights.
Everyone in the Kobold Corps could keep moving with a seemingly inexhaustible amount of stamina, but it was unreasonable to force that on flesh-and-blood knights.

The bonfire served as a source of light, but at the same time, it was also used to warm the resting knights.
They boiled water on the bonfire, made tea, and prepared to fill their stomachs with dried fruits and dried meat brought out from Tunnel 7.

"Umm ... For convenience sake, I'm called a Demon Lord, but I'm not that scary, so don't worry."
"Y, yes ..."
I passed through the people who seemed to be half in doubt and headed to Camilla.
Camilla was standing on a street corner and giving instructions to Magdalos.
With her brisk movements, she still had the aura of royalty, but her eyes didn't look as strong as usual.
She must have been working hard without even taking a break.
"Camilla, we will be withdrawing soon, so I will send you to the Royal Capital."
"Ha!, I have already completed the transfer, so I'll be in your care."
"What are you going to do with the five managers? Send them to the Royal Capital?"
"No, those people are going to be judged in this land."
"Alright, then, let's go."
I let Mart and the others go to the Royal Castle and search for the Knight Commander, repatriated Camilla to a nearby location, and immediately followed behind her as a shadow.
"Aahh, Camilla-sama, and Maou-sama, welcome back."
"Berdets, please gather the personnel for the government. Maou-sama will send them immediately."
"As you wish. They're already waiting."
The civilian and military officers who were waiting in the separate room, along with their luggage, were repatriated to govern the Calvine Territory under direct control.
"Then, I'll go back to drop Yuika-tachi off, so get some rest."
"Yes, Maou-sama, thank you very much."
"Yup, let's talk about reparations again when the Calvine Territory calms down."
"As you wish."
While being sent off by the kneeling Camilla and Knight Commander, I retreated into the shadows and returned to the Calvine Territory. After sending Yuika and Manon back, I returned to Volzard.
