After the battle between Chen Hai and Milim ended—
"Awoo~ Awoo~"
Back on the surface, Milim was savoring the remaining crepe, happily enjoying the delicious food she had never tasted before.
Seeing her like this, the monsters waiting on the surface for the results exchanged glances.
Among them, Shuna curiously walked over to Chen Hai and quietly asked,
"Lord Chen Hai, may I ask... what exactly is that Demon Lord eating?"
"Today, when I transferred the house to this world, a dessert shop was also included, and what Milim is eating now is a crepe sold at that shop."
"Crepe? I haven't heard that name before..."
Shuna still seemed a bit confused, her gaze shifting to Milim.
The latter had already eaten two-thirds of the crepe and was now licking the cream and a little jam from her fingers, looking far from satisfied, completely unfulfilled.
At this moment, Benimaru also walked over to Chen Hai, looking at the ground, then at the sky.
Everything had returned to calm, but the traces of destruction caused by the conflict still remained.
If Milim's previous punch had landed near the village, it would surely have destroyed everything.
So Benimaru cautiously asked,
"Ahem... Lord Chen Hai, has the problem been resolved? Will this Demon Lord not continue to fight us?"
"If we are to continue fighting, we might have to evacuate the villagers in advance."
Shion also came closer.
Izawa Shizue also ran up to Chen Hai with her.
"Ever since Chen Hai-kun descended upon this forest, defeated the Hog King, and unified the area, a large number of monsters have started gathering here. It would take a lot of time to evacuate."
This was Izawa Shizue's concern.
Once the conflict continued, it was only a matter of time before the flames of war spread to the village.
Upon hearing this, Souka, Ranga, Gabiru, Souei, Hakurou, and others behind them nodded repeatedly.
Just then, a hand landed on Chen Hai's shoulder.
Shuna, Shion, Souka, and Izawa Shizue all looked towards the owner of that hand.
It was the Primordial Demon Lord, Milim, from the Dragon Capital.
Noticing the gazes of the others, Milim did not withdraw her arm but maintained the pose.
Because she wasn't very tall, she had to stand on her tiptoes slightly, then said loudly,
"You just mentioned fighting! There's absolutely no need to worry about that! Chen Hai and I are friends! And good friends! Right, Chen Hai!"
"Yes, friends, the best kind."
"Best?"
"The best friends."
"Oh, yes! That's great!!!"
Hearing the answer, Milim finally withdrew her arm from Chen Hai's shoulder.
However, she had no intention of settling down, instead staring at Chen Hai expectantly.
"Hey, hey, hey, can we go now? To see the birthplace of that crepe!"
"..."
It was Chen Hai's first time hearing a 'kitchen for making delicious food' referred to as a 'birthplace'.
Perhaps... in Milim's eyes, crepes were like fascinating and interesting monsters.
With this thought, Chen Hai nodded and led the group, including Milim, towards the village.
Upon arriving at the village, they saw monsters who had come to inquire about what had happened.
Although they were accustomed to battles, they still wanted to know the reason for the sudden anomaly.
After listening, Chen Hai entrusted this task to Hakurou and Gabiru, asking them to briefly explain to the monsters.
With the arrangements made, Chen Hai and his party left the gathered crowd.
Rigurd, who had not participated in the battle and was currently moving things, appeared in their line of sight.
Muscular and tall, he had recently been helping build houses in addition to brewing.
And the result?
Ever since Chen Hai had transferred a 'beautiful, exquisite, and sturdy building (modern apartment)' to the Jura Forest, Rigurd had decided to secretly research the most delicious alcoholic beverages!
So, what Rigurd was currently moving were fruits for brewing.
"Oh! Lord Chen Hai! And everyone! You're back! It looks like a triumphant return! Hahaha! That's great!"
After Rigurd finished speaking, Chen Hai couldn't help but ask,
"What are you doing?"
"Preparing to brew fruit wine, look at this...!"
With a snap, Rigurd opened the lid and displayed what was inside.
They were very appealing apples.
"Everyone, look at this pile of ripe red apples! They once hung on branches, drank morning dew, and kissed the sunlight. After being picked, they will be washed, cored, and pressed... I believe the juice that flows out will be like flowing amber, that will be 'The Beginning of Life'!"
What 'Monster Poet'.
Chen Hai began to wonder if Rigurd had a 'bard' as a sub-profession.
"What gibberish are you spouting? Give it to me, I want to try."
Milim, however, didn't care about that and gestured for Rigurd to give her an apple to taste.
At her words, Rigurd immediately closed the lid.
"That won't do. They were all carefully selected for brewing the perfect fruit wine. How could I just give them to anyone to eat? Also... where did this little girl come from?"
"Huh?"
Milim frowned.
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Who are you looking down on!? Who's a child!? Take this punch!"
"Ugh-pff!!!"
Milim, next to Chen Hai, charged out.
Her speed was incredibly fast; she directly punched Rigurd, sending him flying.
Bang!!!
The apple box in Rigurd's hand fell as he flew away.
Souka was incredibly fast and quickly caught it.
"Father! Father!!!"
Rigur saw his father being sent flying and quickly ran over to pick him up, letting out a cry of pain.
In reality, Rigurd was not in mortal danger; he just couldn't breathe for a short while... Chen Hai saw the situation and smiled somewhat helplessly.
"You cannot hit people here."
"He called me a child! I'm not a child! I'm a Demon Lord! The super awesome kind!"
She really is a child... but Chen Hai didn't say it out loud.
"I will remind everyone to be careful."
Chen Hai said, then waved his hand.
"Souei, Ranga, go tell all the monsters in this village that Demon Lord Milim has arrived, and everyone must respect her."
The one person and one wolf who were commanded looked at each other, then ran off in different directions.
Seeing this, Milim happily gave a thumbs-up.
"Thank you, Chen Hai! You truly are my good friend!"
"Yes, good friend..."
After Chen Hai responded with a thumbs-up, Milim wanted to open the box that Souka had just caught.
At this, Chen Hai spoke again.
"You can only choose between apples and crepes."
"Hmm..."
At this, Milim hesitated.
As the ruler here, Chen Hai still had to demonstrate his authority and couldn't let Milim do as she pleased.
"I choose crepes...!"
Ultimately, Milim made her decision and obediently returned to Chen Hai's side.
And Souka returned the apple box.
After getting it back, Rigurd earnestly discussed the art of brewing with Rigur.
Thus, the first minor commotion involving a Demon Lord in the Chenhai Federation ended...
