This is a continuation of “The Maid Doll’s Dream and Awakening”.
The perspective changes frequently.
In order, they are:
– Hunter
– Marbello
– Arianne
Tokoyo was furious.
She was furious that she had to punish the backward king severely and sentence him to 1,050 years of underground labor.
Tokoyo did not understand politics.
However, her principle was that if she was annoyed, she should punch them at least once.
…that’s what Tokoyo said.
It seems that “Maid Doll Village” is being managed successfully.
I don’t quite understand, but Tokoyo sometimes seems happy. She appears to be counting something… maybe money?
With that money, she’s eager to buy land on the main street of Eitzoll and create “Maid Doll Empire: Eitzoll Branch.”
…But lately, Tokoyo is angry.
Why, you ask?
…It seems fairies cannot buy land.
Apparently, the land in Eitzoll belongs to the King of Eitzoll.
People living there pay money to the king, get permission, and then they can use the land.
So, even if you have the money, if the king says no, then it’s a no.
Therefore, Tokoyo, Sakura, and Minamo went to see the king, but they couldn’t meet him in the first place.
Having no choice, they sneaked in and left a letter in the king’s room.
But, that was also a no-go.
…And now, Tokoyo is very angry…
“Well, from the human king’s perspective, the other party is a fairy who doesn’t even speak… Or rather, he wouldn’t even know if they’re fairies or not, and they’re not fairies in the first place… Understandably, he wouldn’t hand over land to such suspicious folks who might bring trouble along,”
Ketorami says so, but I think it’s fine.
Tokoyo and her friends just want to create “Maid Doll Restaurant Eitzoll Store,” known as “Maid Doll Empire Eitzoll Branch.”
I don’t fully understand, but I don’t think it’s such a bad thing.
If it means delicious food, I think the people of Eitzoll would be happy… Hmm, it seems not such a simple issue…
“How about we, just the three of us, you, Marbello, and I, go and take down the royal castle?”
“Don’t be stupid, why do I have to bring someone like you? You’d just be in the way.”
“Oh, come on, I’m just joking, just joking. That’s the problem with you hot-blooded types.”
“What did you say!? Hey, Glida, you…”
…Ketorami and Glida get along well.
They fight often, but they’re really good friends.
…I want to help them somehow.
How can we get the King of Eitzoll to approve the establishment of “Maid Doll Empire Eitzoll Branch”…?
I asked Marbello.
“Well, how about a petition?”
“Getting humans who are already under control to appeal for the establishment of ‘Maid Doll Empire Eitzoll Branch.'”
“Since the Maid Doll Empire has already spread its roots, it will surely work!”
…I wasn’t expecting much, but what a great idea!
I must tell Tokoyo and the others right away!
…And so, at “Maid Doll Empire Maid Doll Village Branch”… commonly known as “South Temple Area,” we started asking our customers for signatures.
It’s simple.
Just have a maid doll with paper and pen go up to them at the time of billing.
Then, the customers who were satisfied with their delicious meal would all sign…
But among them was a nobleman (I believe he was… a fan of Shachi…), and he worked very hard for us.
He took lots of signature sheets and, two days later, returned them all signed.
…Incredible.
He seemed like just a strange old man under normal circumstances. Really, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
In the end, we collected 500 signatures in just five days.
Tokoyo, Sakura, and Minamo took them and went to the castle again.
I hope it goes well this time.
๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ
It’s serious!
Tokoyo-san is extremely angry!
…Her anger might be justified.
Despite bringing a lot of signatures, they were unable to purchase the land.
This time, they were apparently able to meet the king directly, but still, it was a no-go.
In this world, fairies are known as free-spirited beings.
So, it’s understandable to have concerns about entering into a contract with such free creatures.
Therefore, Tokoyo-san made sure to explain that she’s not a fairy.
Then, if it’s a doll, there must be someone controlling it, and they were told to bring that person instead…
In the end, it was a failure.
Moreover, Tokoyo-san and her friends were supposed to be dolls controlled by Maito, but even after Maito returned to her original world, they somehow still moved.
So, the situation is that “Tokoyo-san and her friends’ master” are both present and not present.
This makes it impossible to fulfill the king’s demand of “bringing the person who controls them.”
This hinders Tokoyo-san and her friends’ dreams, or rather, ambitions.
And, from my personal, well, personal dog’s opinion, I really want the people of this country to try the food made by Tokoyo-san and her friends.
I mainly eat raw meat, so I don’t eat the food made by Tokoyo-san and her friends, but by looking at the faces of the people who come to the restaurant and eat the food, you can tell.
Why do people who eat delicious food seem so happy?
Many people in this country find it a bit hard to afford the carriage fare to the temple, or don’t have the time.
So, opening a shop on the main street of this country and allowing those people to eat there would be a very good thing, I believe!
…The important thing here is that there’s no need to actually bring the person controlling Tokoyo-san and her friends to meet the king.
Since Tokoyo-san and her friends can move freely, just finding someone who pretends to control them would solve everything!
…And we know of several people who might be willing to help with such matters.
From the atmosphere around Tokoyo-san and her friends when they returned, it was clear they were successful.
…Eventually, Tokoyo-san and her friends asked a regular noble customer who loves poisons and meets the criteria of “being a citizen of the country, having a certain status, and seemingly having some free time.”
And they easily got an OK, then headed straight to the royal castle and swiftly secured the rights to the land.
It seemed too easy, but there was a reason for it.
One reason was that Tokoyo-san and her friends brought homemade sweets as a gift.
The so-called “under-the-table” approach!
There must have been doubts about the food made by dolls until now.
After thorough poison testing, the sweets even made their way to the king, so maybe that helped them get approval.
…And most importantly, the nobleman they asked… seems to have been quite exceptional in various ways.
Just the fact that this nobleman personally appeared caused quite a stir in the royal castle.
Despite being retired, he still had some degree of influence.
People are not always what they seem!
Thus, Tokoyo-san and her friends were able to open a large shop on the main street of the royal capital Eitzoll!
The people of Eitzoll welcomed them warmly!
The novelty of maid dolls, along with delicious and affordably priced food, naturally made people think it’s worth trying at least once!
If they accumulate more money here, they plan to expand to the royal city of Argis.
They say if they can expand to the underwater city, they’ve practically conquered 1F.
…I don’t quite understand Tokoyo-san and her friends’ goals…
…Surely, it must be to make the world happy with delicious food!
Tokoyo-san and her friends must be calling that world domination! Isn’t that cute!

“…Eh? A new country, you say?”
In this world, there are three entities that can be called countries.
One is Argis, to the northeast from here.
Another is Eitzoll, to the south from here.
And then, there’s the Itoigawa States to the southwest from here.
However, recently, I’ve heard rumors about a new country being formed.
“Yes. It’s said that a castle was built overnight in the western region from here…”
A castle built overnight, you say.
…
With that colossal being, it might indeed be possible.
It’s clear that arranging for priests to visit this new country and handling exchanges with it will keep us busy… But I’m also a bit excited to meet that fairy again.
The theme park that sprang up overnight has become incredibly popular.
