Another side

"Kaka, it is usual for the Lord to invite you to a drinking spree, but today it's urgent? The Onion King

"If you were in the mood for a drink, the demon would drink, only to find out it was you, the Immortal King?

The residence of the demon king was built in the image of a Japanese mansion.

In a room of the mansion with a dry landscape at the end of the garden, a drinking feast was being held in a moonlit night.

The participants were the Onion King Raido, called Instructor Kio and Instructor Fusio by Jiro, and the Immortal King No Life, one of the most powerful members of the Demon King's army.

They drank each other's sake.

The demon and the immortal pissed down liquor.

Only the same kind of beings could enter these two's revelry.

You'll be able to get a great deal more than just a few of these pancakes.

The two enjoy drinking together in such a space.

Do you? It's time to get down to business, or it's going to be a dawn, right? I don't mind indulging in some fun and games, though.

"Oops, I almost forgot. What does it look like to you?

You're missing the subject, demon king. But I know what you're going to say. You mean Jiro?

"Oh, well, if we're here, it's only natural.

You are the first person I've raised on a whim, but I've found you to be unexpectedly fun. A man with a soul I haven't seen in a while. Is this enough of a topic to talk about over a drunken dinner. But it's a topic that we need to talk about again, isn't it? He's steadily gaining strength.

When the two of them get together, they naturally talk about the progress of their students.

The topic that has become a staple has been discussed many times.

Humanity, strength and content are trivial things that need no confirmation from each other.

To both of us, it's like a question and answer.

"The way I see it, the guy's got all the power to hurt us enough, don't you?

"But that sword has been honed to the point where it can reach my life. The rest is just a matter of honing your inexperienced skills.

Does that mean it's time to eat?

"No

"Ah?

You can also use the same type of tools as you would use in the same way.

If two people with different sensitivities come together, they may not always agree on the answer.

But to the demon king's mind, the timing of this time was unexpected.

He raises his wine cup to your eye level to urge you on.

When they were in their prime, as a fighting race, powerful enemies were the second most important factor in their lives after food.

To say that there are demons who spend all their time fighting, even when they don't sleep, would be an understatement.

Jiro was definitely a gem in the rough, and the Onion King was looking forward to the answer from the Immortal King, who was expecting to reach an existence that might surpass him if it was refined.

It's time for you to eat, Onion King.

If there were other demons in the room, they might have wondered what a joke it was that the demon was being eaten, but the demon king, noticing the gaze of the immortal king that shines through the empty hollow eyes, said nothing and urged them on.

It has grown so far in just a short period of time. It's as if he's a fish in water and thinks this is his place. Disturbances gather around him as if to encourage it. It scrapes and hurts, but it is also a waste rock that refines people. I want to see how he ends up. I want to see how far he will go, if he will be chipped or if he will be polished and shined.

If it is the nature of the demon to seek for a powerful enemy, then it is the nature of the immortal to cling to human life.

Because they have transcended death, they cling to life, yearning, envying and clinging to it.

Jiro, a man who shows the brilliance of life, is like a jewel that makes you want to see the future.

Although the two men are very different, they are fundamentally similar in what they want.

That's why, unlike the other generals, these two have more opportunities to work together.

Jiro doesn't seem to have noticed. His talent has blossomed late. Now it's just a matter of how far he can climb before it falls.

"Kukkuu, I see. If you say so, I'll let it mature a bit more.

"Kakaka, but if you want to drink good wine, don't be hasty. We only need to act when someone tries to snatch it from us. The rest will take care of itself.

Tonight, too, the night went by without a word of toast.

Another side END

Side Jiro

I had no idea that I was supposed to be attracting problems.

I've taken the exam, and I'm like.

"Do I pass now?

"Gu

An artificial mountain in a simple arena-like facility was under construction.

After a few clicks of pang-pang sand, the examiner confirmed for what seemed like an unknown number of times that the sand had been knocked out of your hand.

At first, I was put up against a mid-ranked C-ranked lizardman.

The demon examiner in front of you explained to you that the examiner would decide whether you passed or failed, regardless of whether you won or lost, but the weapon you were given was a rusty dagger with a smashed blade, and your opponent was your well-maintained and well-armed opponent.

Annoyed by the atmosphere of the examiner, who was ready to disqualify me if I lost, I beat my opponent to a pulp with my bare hands without using a weapon.

I beat him to a pulp with my bare hands without letting him do anything.

Even if you're a veteran or not, you're weak compared to your instructors, and you don't feel threatened compared to the dungeon tour we did the other day.

It was natural for me to ask if he was smug and passed this, but...

''Da, it's more unusual to fight one-on-one in a dungeon! Move on to the next test!

The searchers, who thought they were human and thought they could win, realized at that stage that it was a painful excuse for the examiners to lose and lose their plans, but the two fathers-in-law told them to beat us mercilessly and completely, so they just followed the instructions.

Next up was a C-ranked party of five.

It was a well-balanced basic party with a shield and two attackers at the vanguard, two healers and two wizards at the rear, and a ranger for the commander.

The examiner, who was satisfied with this, said that if they beat the party they would pass, and without making any preparations, they began to fight.

People around me seemed to be expecting a mass assault (lynching), but I'm neither too dominant nor too good-natured to deal with such expectations.

I beat the vanguard once again with my bare hands without a hint of hesitation, and then easily dismounted the ranger who attacked me, slipping under the spell of the rear guard.

From there, it was a matter of building this mountain.

Our ranks rose and our numbers grew.

My opponents grew stronger, not weaker, but they never exceeded my ability to deal with them, and I still had enough time to spare that I didn't need to pull the mineral tree out.

I heard that the guy you just defeated was A-ranked, but you still managed to win without any problems.

''And then? Passed? Rejected?

"Huh, not accepted!

"Why? I'm taking down a guy you prepared for me, just like you asked me to?

But your pass/fail was a failure.

Unless there was some hidden element, you were able to firmly demonstrate the combat ability that the other side indicated.

It's a different story if you were lying about the ranks of the people you were fighting, but judging from the atmosphere around you, the last minotaur seeker was definitely a skilled fighter, at least at first.

''Shut up! When I say fail, I mean fail! If you understand, get the hell out of here!

This is finally starting to get tacky.

The examiner in front of me is by all accounts unintelligent.

It looks like he's emotionally dismissing my words.

Seeing this, the mood of Mr. Gray and Ms. Meitte is becoming suspicious, but I don't think this blatant rejection notice is anything to do with misanthropy or anything else.

There's something else going on behind the scenes.

"Hmmm, I see. Is this the result of a fair evaluation?

"Oh, of course. Now that you're convinced, get on with it.

If you're this stubborn and stubborn about inequality, I have an idea.

"Then you don't mind if I report this to the Demon King and the Immortal King?

I said the action I was going to take before I was told to go away.

! What bullshit! It is outrageous that a person like you can speak the names of two of the seven generals! You can punish me right now!

As soon as I mentioned the two instructors' names, his color changed for a moment, but he thought I was bluffing and quickly regained his poise.

I wanted to tell them to try it if they could, but I decided that it would be more interesting to go later rather than say it here and now.

I'm not going to ask you what makes you conclude it's a lie. I'm just going to honestly tell you two what happened here. I have demonstrated the fundamental strength of the demon king's army on your terms and you have denied it on the stage you prepared. It will be interesting to see how the two of you, who believe strength is justice, will react when you hear this story?

When I hear the word punishment, I don't even flinch.

Rather, it provokes you and tries to smoke something you have been hiding.

Sorry to sound like a fox tripping over a tiger, but the fact is that we know each other and this one is getting in the way of our wedding plans.

You can at least invite them to have a drink with me and give them a bite to talk about, even if you're hungover.

The examiner is now silent, though, as I grinned at him and said punish me if you can.

Mr. Meitte, Mr. Gray, let's go. I have no further business with you.

Yes, it seems so.

"Mm.

Ignoring such behavior, he left the facility.

Maybe it was a sign of strength, so you could feel their eyes on you, but they didn't tangle with you.

"Well, this is troubling. This was the most convenient place in the last dungeon, but I didn't expect to be dealt with like this.

Hmm, I'd say there are places where you can get similar materials, but you'd be away from here. It's going to take a long time to get there.

Let's just go back to the office and make a plan. Let's just go back to the company and make a plan.

It was originally a spur-of-the-moment, haphazard material gathering trip.

Maybe it's natural for things to go wrong.

Then in a way, pulling out here might have been good timing.

"Hey, big brother, that was a great fight!

You

"Yoo-hoo!

As you are about to leave the facility, which seems to have something to hide, a fox-eared girl stands in your way, chiding the two disappointed stepfathers.

You may have been observing the battle earlier, or perhaps you can't feel the gaze of the first time you saw her.

"You look troubled, aren't you? If you want to go into the dungeon, I can help you, okay?

"No, sir. If you're talking about getting in the door illegally, find someone else, the mercy of a familiar face. I'm going to pretend you didn't hear me say that.

While the words from the girl are appealing, it's always a good idea to avoid suggestions that might lead to trouble later on.

Even if the desired material is obtained, it's no different than if you got it through poaching.

Not wanting to celebrate the wedding with such a thing, I try to walk past the girl.

"Brother, if you go home, you'll just get yourself into trouble, okay?

"......

The girl with fox ears was blocked by a girl with fox ears.
