The Researcher and the Two Princesses As Sena and the other Beastmen acclimatize to village life, Hiraku still worries about not being able to use magic. He later defeats a Grappling-Bear and a Bloody-Viper fighting outside the village, which he cooks for another village feast. With Flora’s help Hiraku creates mayonnaise and miso. Later, dwarves led by Donovan visit the village to trade Hiraku’s wine for distillation technology, allowing the village to brew corn whiskey. The dwarves end up moving into the village too. Hiraku hopes the dwarves might want to marry, but they are only attracted to women with beards. Two dragons appear and Hiraku almost kills one until Gucci (Dryme’s butler) frantically reveals they are Dryme's daughter Lastismoon and wife Graffaloon, Graffaloon asks Lasty (Lastismoon's nickname) to stay in the village as a diplomat, hoping to avoid Hiraku becoming their enemy. Hiraku later assigns Lastismoon responsibility over all diplomatic relations, which the Demon general Beezel finds out on a produce-procurement mission. Terrified Hiraku now "commands" dragons, he sends his own daughter Flowrem to live in the village as a spy. Flowrem is shocked to observe the village's “army” is powerful enough to threaten the Demon Army and is even more shocked to learn from Lastismoon their “commander” Hiraku is a human strong enough he almost killed Graffaloon. Flowrem decides to stay in the village longer than planned despite being (at first) constantly nervous around Hiraku.
