The time is midnight, and a single light is lit in the company when no one is working.
The light was leaking from a room on the top floor.
There is no further report.
Yeah, I guess things are starting to fall into place.
There were two figures in the room.
One was Evvia standing in front of the only seat in the room, holding a report in one hand, and the other was the demon king on the receiving end of the report.
The angels have withdrawn from the dungeon after capturing the heroes, but there is little resistance and the control of the dungeon will be completed in a short period of time.
"There's a dragon king and a giant king. I don't think there will be any mistakes.
When he finally finishes cleaning up, he leans back in his plush chair and sighs, which he normally wouldn't show.
On the plush table in front of the chair, there is a summary of what happened, from the beginning to the end.
I've just been reading it.
It's always a good time to review the vast amount of information, but it's already been a week since he fought the brave man, though he didn't show it on his face.
During this time, the demon king has been working hard to deal with this case without sleeping a wink.
The demon king is not just an inhuman being but a strong body that reigns supreme in a demon army full of monsters.
Even with that body, you still feel tired.
The battle is still going on, but we're finally out of the most dangerous situation and we're finally getting a break.
Suppressing rioters, repelling enemy forces, storming enemy strongholds, assisting damaged village streets, making up for the lives lost in this war.
It's true that we don't do end-of-line operations, but even so, there are many areas that the demon king, the head of the organization, has to give permission for.
And then? Let's hear another report.
And the more you clean up, the more problems that come up.
With a sigh, the change of consciousness is complete.
After a pause too brief to call a pause, the demon king straightens up again.
"Yes, I checked the background of your support for the brave men, but I believe it is related to the Sun God.
Although not as bad as the Demon King, Evier, who was also working tirelessly to deal with the aftermath of his injuries, was investigating the cause of the current war.
With the power of a fiefdom, it would normally be impossible to assemble angels in a dungeon.
The demon king had ordered the investigation, believing that he had some kind of backup.
"We sent out the cutthroats. That wasn't much help. Of course you covered your tracks, didn't you?
"Yes, we were able to trace back to the organization that the investigation probably used to contact, but we couldn't find any documents or anything else that would confirm everyone's death. No documents were found. We're still trying to identify the deceased members, but we're not sure.
"This outcome was predictable. I know who's moving around behind you. But you can give me a tail, but you can't get beyond that. He is a hero, a nobody, and he was just used. It's a common story among us.
It's not the prerogative of the demon king's army to attack.
Of course there have been many invasions from the brave side in the past.
This time is no different.
And it's usually the brave men who are entrusted with the most spears for the invasion.
And most of those brave men are the consumables.
You can attack the demon king's castle and kill him, but the battle is so fierce that few of them come back alive.
They are disposable pawns for the future ideal.
...... reports that the enemy dungeon may have robbed the local dungeon core and used a chimeric core.
A demon king with the bloodline of a brave man.
In such a unique environment, the demon king who carries this country respects his mother who is a brave man.
That's why he might feel for the brave men who were disposable like this one.
Sensing this atmosphere, Evvia neither affirmed nor denied the demon king's story, but set out to change the subject.
I think this is the reason why some of the dungeons in the town are shut down, even though active dungeons are precious.
The demon king also readily took advantage of the story.
He gives off an air of not caring, but I can't imagine what's on his mind.
But we can't rehash the story here. Evvia goes straight to work on the report.
For a while, the documents are flipped through and the question and answer session continues to confirm the contents.
Suddenly, the demon king's gaze stops on a document.
Oh, this.
"What about ...... Tanaka Jiro?
"Evvia, you know what I'm talking about, right?
"......
That's a report.
It was made by Jiro Tanaka, the lowest-ranking person in the Demon King's Army, who got the position.
Normally, this is not a report that would have caught the president's attention, but he was a party to it, and the contents that summarized the consequences of this event were here for the content.
The document was a complete change from the previous heavy atmosphere, and the demon king happily flipped through it.
After all, she herself was the one who was submitted by Suera and brought it here.
Of course I'm examining the contents.
"Hmmm, so much happens around him. When I brought the fallen angel, I thought that unusual things would happen, but if this keeps happening, I'm afraid that fate has predestined him to do so.
The demon king's smile deepened as he read through the reports, one by one.
''I never expected to see angels huddled around him again. How could the nobles around you not complain about it?
"Do you think I won't tell you?
"No? I don't expect those stubborn stone heads to say anything. They were going to start preparing the executioner's table anyway, weren't they? But that hasn't happened. I'm sure there are nosy demons and immortals at work here, but I'm also sure there are shades of the devil in there, too.
"......
The report is about two more angels besides the fallen angel Himikku, who recently took up residence in the company.
Normally, it would be nearly impossible to welcome them, but now they are strutting around in the dungeon managed by Evia.
In the case of Himikku, he was able to force his way through because of his fallen nature, but this story is different.
She is still in the company with her pure white wings.
It's a completely outrageous sight in terms of the demon king's army.
But there are often exceptions to the rule.
That exception is the reason why things like this one are so common.
Knowing the exception, the demon king, who is in a position to give permission, happily looked over the sentence with a slight smile escaping from his mouth.
I didn't expect this outcome. I knew something would happen. Even though I purposely had a group of would-be heroes as testers, I didn't expect this result. Even if you arrange for them not to be brave, they are still candidates for bravery. The Angel's Oath. I didn't expect you to sign it.
An angel's pledge is like a kind of contract that is equivalent to an order from the Lord God for an angelic being.
Originally, it was the upward compatibility of a quid pro quo contract, where you get something in exchange for not doing something, but this time it was used in a somewhat special way.
In that contract, in exchange for limiting attacks on the demon king's army except in self-defense, I want you to stay close to the heroes.
The details are still to be worked out, but roughly speaking, this is what it will look like.
But of course that's not enough to convince people.
There is another price to pay.
I'm glad to have information about the Sun God now. If you think of it as a pledge to ensure its authenticity, it's not a bad idea to carry a risk or two inside you.
The twin angels have offered the demon king a price tag.
This bargain, which is essentially an act of betrayal.
Although it is an event that could even result in expulsion from the heavenly realm, the twins don't seem to care and honestly present the information they know to the demon king's army.
"But I didn't expect you to make a deal with Tanaka Jiro, who has a contract with a fallen angel, but with his subordinate Kaido Chu.
Although it was reported that he missed them when he first rescued them from the battlefield and cared for the twins afterwards.
"Tame the angels, tame the angels. I'm curious to see what kind of technique you used to tame the angels.
Even if it is a top-level angel.
Aside from his combat abilities, his personality is quirky, as he often operates according to his own criteria.
It is a good idea to have a conversation with them to make peace, which was abandoned a long time ago, if you can draw such a being in and even make him cooperate with you.
"I heard from Jiro Tanaka that it was like a miracle that happened by chance.
"Yes, the color of Kaido Chu's soul, his character, and his response to the angels this time, all of which mesh together, according to the report: ......
Whenever Evvia's expression is a little cloudy, I understand from my long-time relationship with the demon king that it's a time of hesitation.
There is almost no change in the expression, but from the subtle change in atmosphere, you could infer that she is torn between explaining or not explaining her technique.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
"I don't know the details, but I'm told it's about a fictional entity that exists in our world.
I've heard that there is a lot of entertainment in this world, but I didn't know there was such a thing.
"It seems to be a culture that we have yet to grasp,
Maybe that's why the brave men and women who were summoned have been able to adapt to our world earlier. I heard from Tanaka Jiro that there are some suggestions for dungeon improvements. Do you think there should be a study of those cultures as well?
It's an indescribable part, but it might be worth considering.
You're going to be able to find out what you can do with it.
You can find a number of different types of shoes that you can choose from.
In fact, under the guise of surveillance, Jiro was placed near the angels.
Among the DVDs that Kaido brought to spend his leisure time with, there was an anime for girls.
Are there angels who fit into it?
You'll be able to find out if there are angels who fit into it, or if you're imposing a pledge that is equivalent to the Lord God's order, compared to the information given by the fallen angel Himikku, and decided that each person or angel has their own tastes and preferences, and decided that it would be good if they were quiet.
You are able to get the most out of it.
But I decided that it was of some value because it actually produced results.
So I'm taking the demon king's opinion in a positive light.
I don't know what effect this will have on the future of the demon king's army.
This is just one of the conversations we had during an after-action.
But maybe this conversation will trigger something extraordinary.
Another side End
Word of the Day
When you're doing reflections, sometimes the ones that are producing results are the ones that are surprising.
