"Well, let's see what's going on.
At the farthest corner of the huge room, the top seat, the demon king sits comfortably and begins this meeting.
Despite the fact that the war has started and the situation is under attack, there is no collapse of his existence.
If you were to ask if this is because of optimism due to lack of understanding of the situation, everyone present here would answer no.
"We have succeeded in building a defensive front in the area to be covered. With the territory of the Calicetra Frontier Count, the Demon King is holding the north of the territory, and the Dragon King is holding the east.
"What is the damage?
"There are thirteen villages, large and small. Three towns. The trading city has been successfully secured. I heard that all the refugees have been received. Also, the patrol that was defending the area suffered some damage, but the damage is minor as we prioritized the evacuation of the villagers and minimized the fighting.
Yeah, there was a little bit of damage, but it was within the margin of error. Now, let's move on to the strength of our main enemy.
The demon king nodded with satisfaction at the soldier's story as he read the report in a matter-of-fact manner.
You'll be able to see that the story went on as planned, and the soldier shows a slight sense of relief, but when the main topic came up, his face tightened again.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a large number of lower-grade angels and other soldiers in this invasion. Its size, about thirty thousand, has been deployed. The mid-ranking angel commanding it has also been confirmed. However, there are no reports of higher angels and the renegade Carter.
"......
A soldier who is reporting points to the center of the conference room and begins to glow faintly.
All eyes in the conference room gather there.
A crystal the size of a bowling ball, placed just blank on the square surrounded by desks, glows faintly and displays a map, showing the location of the enemy with confirmed information.
Looking at it, everyone in the conference room wrinkled their brows or put a question mark above their heads.
The demon king himself, questioning the way this army is deployed, is silent as if exploring his opponent's intentions and listening to the contents of the report.
The timing of the event, a competition, is an opportune time when the cadres are gathered and the defensive force is significantly reduced.
Aiming for that moment, you have the brave (Carter) attack and deploy the angels in a blitzkrieg to follow, and start the invasion, but the damage is small for you.
The force used was also only centered on the lower level angels, and although there were intermediate angels, there were no high level angels, and on the contrary, there was no sign of the army owned by the frontier count.
In addition, the army of angels that was about to invade was easily stopped as soon as they built a defensive line.
It's an action that even seems suspicious.
If there were a higher level angel, the damage is estimated to have been two to three times greater than what was just reported.
From that, it's rather a strange movement that makes you think that the invasion was stopped on purpose.
The absence of Carter, who was wielding a holy sword, further suggested that there was something behind the invasion, and the demon king's army was pondering the enemy's actions.
If you are going to follow the basics (theory), if the damage (risk) is small and the opponent's movement is clear, it is usual to go to the place where you can be attacked.
And only a demon king of the same rank can deal with a brave man.
You'll be able to find out what the best way to get the most out of your own personal computer system.
But the opponent didn't move and discarded his reasoning.
In the meantime, the demon king made his preparations.
The demon king himself was ready to move on and finish off the heroes at any time during these days.
Nevertheless, the demon king never took the field of battle.
The question of what the enemy wanted to do, to abandon reason, drifted through the conference room.
What exactly is the enemy after?
"What if that's the full force?
No, it can't be when it has a dungeon. The dungeon must lead somewhere and be capable of gathering strength.
"If you couldn't defeat the Demon King on the spot, the enemy's goal was
Where does that dungeon lead to in the first place?
All sorts of predictions flashed around the conference room.
The words are jumped out one after another as if they were a list of the opponent's possibilities, and without missing a word, the demon king himself guesses the opponent's aim.
In the current stage of the game, if you challenge your opponent, you may find yourself in the middle of their magic, so you can't help but be cautious, but the demon king thinks that he may have overlooked something.
Excuse me during the meeting!
"What! I'm in a meeting right now!
A meeting is going on, and the door is suddenly opened in the middle of the chaos.
One of the officers near the entrance reprimands the soldier, but the soldier raises his voice as if he has no time for that.
There are reports of rebellion by humans and some beastmen in each town! There are even reports that it's the angels who are instigating it! There have been delays in the movement of troops on the march to deal with it!
"What!
Report!
What now?
"Enemy, the legions are on the move, going straight north to meet the forces of the demon king!
An army on the move in the rebellion.
It's not a coincidence.
It must have been a deliberate move.
So that's how it is.
There was a lot of confusion and confusion of opinions about what to do, but it was quickly calmed down as soon as the demon king made his move.
Feeling as if he had been played a chess move, the demon king slowly but clearly discovers his opponent's actions in a voice that reaches the conference room.
The room fell silent and all eyes were on the demon king.
It seems that the enemy only wants my head. That's why you've been hiding your trump card's hero. ...... I have a pretty good idea of the path you're on. I'm sure we'll make our move too. Give the word to the King of Fighters and the Titan King. The enemy is not after the demon king. Send both generals to support the dragon king. And the message to the Immortal King. Put out the fire. That should have conveyed the message.
"Ha!
To deal with the rebellion, he scattered all the generals to the scene and put Evvia to guard the company, his base of operations in the other world.
There were no more generals to directly protect the demon king, leaving him defenseless.
You will be able to use it as a tool to deal with the opponent's strategy of agitating the people and expanding the war zone, but it may backfire if things go as the demon king thinks.
"The smoldering flames in each town will be kindled and cause chaos. If left unchecked, the smoldering fire will become a conflagration. So the fire is something we cannot ignore. Well, it's a simple measure, but that's why it takes time to respond.
By deploying an army of angels with blitzkrieg, attention was drawn to the frontier, and in the meantime, an approach to a people dissatisfied with the current regime was being prepared.
Humans are individually ineffective, but when they are in numbers, they are a pain in the ass.
In the meantime, the next move ...... is to start with the dragon's head, like a brave man.
And hang the bait before a discontented populace.
Break away from the current environment, change, and be guided by those who have the power to change, and in no time the flock will move toward the bait.
It's probably the higher angels that are instigating the conflict. Is it a sitting angel or a wise angel? You have to be able to get a good idea of what you're talking about.
If that happens, the Demon King's army will have no choice but to take action.
In addition, if the enemy's food is also the higher angels, the demon king's army will have no choice but to eat them.
And the more confusion there was, the easier it would be for the heroes to move.
The fact that a single entity that can work with more than one army can move around is not a good situation for the demon king's army.
''Then why do you only reinforce the Dragon King's side? If that's the case, we should send a rescue mission to the Demon King as well.
"There are few towns and villages behind the Demon King. There's less need to watch out for angels, so the Demon King's supply route will be preserved. But what about the Dragon King, who has several large cities behind him?
The next thing the angel would probably do, the demon king guessed, was to unite the best and brightest who agreed with the rebellion and transform them from a flock into an army.
Those who had the blessing of a superior angel, a strong man, would not be defeated and would be willing to take the battlefield.
That move would result in a move that would isolate the dragon king's army.
''But the enemy army is moving toward the demon king.
The army is stalling the demon king, and he doesn't want to be interrupted on the way, I suppose.
"No way! While the demon king is stranded, the dragon king's army needs a hero.
No, I don't think so. Their goal is to hide their bravery and use it as a bargaining chip to cut my head off at the drop of a hat. It won't come up here. And we'll be cutting each other limb from limb for a while. Whoever loses by perseverance or reading will come out of the cave.
What do you mean?
There must be something to counter the generals, other than a brave man.
There are only a limited number of beings with the same or greater power than the general.
All of the people in the conference room could picture that existence in their minds.
I'll report in!
As if to confirm this imagination, a third messenger rushes in!
It's a message from the Dragon King!
"Did the cutthroat angel lead an army and bump into the dragon king?
"What? Yes! That's right.
"Hmmm, so what is the number of ......?
"An army of about 50,000! Many medium angels, several high angels have been identified, and among them a fierce angel, two of them!
「「「「! 」」」」」
A fierce angel, the highest ranking near-god angel.
His power rivals that of a general.
If there are two such beings....
I guess that's just as dangerous as the Dragon King... so let's just bite each other's hands and feet...
Even the powerful dragon king is in danger.
Nevertheless, the demon king's composure is not broken.
Perhaps it's because he stands on the front lines, imagining his men on the rampage and trusting that they'll hold out until reinforcements arrive.
Slowly, the demon king watches the movement of his army reflected in the crystal.
The smoldering fires of rebellion, if left unchecked, will become a conflagration, but he is prepared to deal with it.
It's not too late to rescue the dragon king, who will be trapped in a predicament.
And the demon king is unable to move indirectly because the brave man has gone into hiding.
It's a back-and-forth game.
How to block your opponent's movement, how to wear him down, and how to defeat his plans.
From now on, it is a matter of how much damage you can do and how many trump cards you can preserve.
The demon king predicts that the one who loses will be the first to get out of the ring.
So, leaving the battlefield to his trusted subordinates, the demon king slowly relaxes his shoulders, thinking that he won't have a chance to play for a while.

Okay, mom, I'm going to work. You can call me if you need anything.
"Ok, Mommy.
"Are you really okay? If you want, I can take one more day off so you don't have to.
Don't worry, I'm going to be late, okay?
My mother, who had reupholstered a cooling sheet to cool her forehead, went off to work looking at me over and over again.
Ever since I was hit by the light of the sword held by the man Himikku said was a hero, I've been feeling strange.
I had a headache, and my body was sluggish.
You should have had confidence in your physical strength, but you haven't had the energy to get out of bed for a few days.
I'm giving everyone a hard time, yone.
I can see in my mind's eye the friends at my part-time job that I can say I got along with for the first time since I came to Japan.
Once, my mother said that she received a phone call from Jiro-san, but at that time my head really hurt and I couldn't answer the phone.
I'm not feeling well today, but I'm relatively light, so I can stay awake like this.
"Mike
The room is quiet, and if you're used to moving your body from dancing and such, you'd find it boring to sit still like this.
Maybe because you've been sleeping too much and your eyes are dazzling, you talk to the other presence in your body, which you don't tell Mamie about.
But.
But he didn't answer.
When I'm out of the office, I come out less often, but I still talk to him several times a day.
But in the last few days, we haven't talked at all.
Even if I didn't have any magic to spare, I would usually have at least a word of encouragement.
I don't think it's gone.
I'm sure there's a presence I can feel deep inside my body.
...... what to do
But it is also true that you are acting strangely, and your current physical condition may be related to this.
I wish I could talk to you about it, but I can't go to the office with my condition.
I wish I could at least call you, but I couldn't because I didn't have the energy to call you.
Yes, you can text.
Even though I didn't have the energy for a conversation, I reached for my phone and grabbed it connected to the charging cable to at least send a text message.
I unlocked my phone and opened my mailbox to find emails from everyone, including Jiro-san.
Each one is distinctive, and I feel a little bit cheered by the messages that show that they are concerned about me.
I tried to run my fingers through the mail, trying not to let it go to waste.
'Hate,'
"Mike?
But my fingers snapped to a halt at the sound of a voice from deep within my body.
I thought for sure that was Mike.
But.
I hate that light, I hate that glow!
"Augh!
The usually calm, mischievous, soft voice has no trace of its softness.
A cold, sharp cry, like a slap in the face of ice, is pouring out of the depths of my body.
The headache intensifies, as if to coincide with the timing.
I drop my phone to the floor.
But I can't care about that.
I won't allow it! I won't forgive you! I'll never forgive you!
The sharp pain is so sharp it feels like being hit in the head with a blunt instrument, and I can't think about anything else.
I'm dazed and my vision is going dark.
You curl up and hold your head to bear the pain, but instead of easing it, it's growing.
Doom! Doom to that d*mned light! Ruin!
There's something wrong with Mike.
That much I know.
And I have a feeling that if I don't, I'm going to disappear.
A sense of urgency surges through my body, and I manage to stave off a headache that won't go away, as I crawl out of bed and roll to the floor, reaching for the phone I just dropped.
Desperately moving your arm as if it were not your own body, you look at the screen of your phone and see a picture of the screen you just tried to reply to.
Ta-su-ke.
Shivering fingers, her body getting colder and colder.
Frightened by it, you move your fingers frantically, trying to escape from the cold that threatens to make you disappear.
Finally, I type and press send.
That's all I can do.
Please, Jiro, sir.
It's all gone black in front of me.

Also, the patrol that was defending the area suffered some damage, but the damage is minor as we prioritized the evacuation of the villagers and minimized the fighting.Yeah, there was a little bit of damage, but it was within the margin of error. Now, let's move on to the strength of our main enemy.The demon king nodded with satisfaction at the soldier's story as he read the report in a matter-of-fact manner.You'll be able to see that the story went on as planned, and the soldier shows a slight sense of relief, but when the main topic came up, his face tightened again.I'm sure you'll be able to find a large number of lower-grade angels and other soldiers in this invasion. Its size, about thirty thousand, has been deployed. The mid-ranking angel commanding it has also been confirmed. However, there are no reports of higher angels and the renegade Carter."......A soldier who is reporting points to the center of the conference room and begins to glow faintly.All eyes in the conference room gather there.A crystal the size of a bowling ball, placed just blank on the square surrounded by desks, glows faintly and displays a map, showing the location of the enemy with confirmed information.Looking at it, everyone in the conference room wrinkled their brows or put a question mark above their heads.The demon king himself, questioning the way this army is deployed, is silent as if exploring his opponent's intentions and listening to the contents of the report.The timing of the event, a competition, is an opportune time when the cadres are gathered and the defensive force is significantly reduced.Aiming for that moment, you have the brave Carter attack and deploy the angels in a blitzkrieg to follow, and start the invasion, but the damage is small for you.The force used was also only centered on the lower level angels, and although there were intermediate angels, there were no high level angels, and on the contrary, there was no sign of the army owned by the frontier count.In addition, the army of angels that was about to invade was easily stopped as soon as they built a defensive line.It's an action that even seems suspicious.If there were a higher level angel, the damage is estimated to have been two to three times greater than what was just reported.From that, it's rather a strange movement that makes you think that the invasion was stopped on purpose.The absence of Carter, who was wielding a holy sword, further suggested that there was something behind the invasion, and the demon king's army was pondering the enemy's actions.If you are going to follow the basics theory, if the damage risk is small and the opponent's movement is clear, it is usual to go to the place where you can be attacked.And only a demon king of the same rank can deal with a brave man.You'll be able to find out what the best way to get the most out of your own personal computer system.But the opponent didn't move and discarded his reasoning.In the meantime, the demon king made his preparations.The demon king himself was ready to move on and finish off the heroes at any time during these days.Nevertheless, the demon king never took the field of battle.The question of what the enemy wanted to do, to abandon reason, drifted through the conference room.What exactly is the enemy after?"What if that's the full force?No, it can't be when it has a dungeon. The dungeon must lead somewhere and be capable of gathering strength."If you couldn't defeat the Demon King on the spot, the enemy's goal wasWhere does that dungeon lead to in the first place?All sorts of predictions flashed around the conference room.The words are jumped out one after another as if they were a list of the opponent's possibilities, and without missing a word, the demon king himself guesses the opponent's aim.In the current stage of the game, if you challenge your opponent, you may find yourself in the middle of their magic, so you can't help but be cautious, but the demon king thinks that he may have overlooked something.Excuse me during the meeting!"What!I'm in a meeting right now!A meeting is going on, and the door is suddenly opened in the middle of the chaos.One of the officers near the entrance reprimands the soldier, but the soldier raises his voice as if he has no time for that.There are reports of rebellion by humans and some beastmen in each town!There are even reports that it's the angels who are instigating it!There have been delays in the movement of troops on the march to deal with it!"What!Report!What now?"Enemy, the legions are on the move, going straight north to meet the forces of the demon king!An army on the move in the rebellion.It's not a coincidence.It must have been a deliberate move.So that's how it is.There was a lot of confusion and confusion of opinions about what to do, but it was quickly calmed down as soon as the demon king made his move.Feeling as if he had been played a chess move, the demon king slowly but clearly discovers his opponent's actions in a voice that reaches the conference room.The room fell silent and all eyes were on the demon king.It seems that the enemy only wants my head. That's why you've been hiding your trump card's hero. ...... I have a pretty good idea of the path you're on. I'm sure we'll make our move too. Give the word to the King of Fighters and the Titan King. The enemy is not after the demon king. Send both generals to support the dragon king. And the message to the Immortal King. Put out the fire. That should have conveyed the message."Ha!To deal with the rebellion, he scattered all the generals to the scene and put Evvia to guard the company, his base of operations in the other world.There were no more generals to directly protect the demon king, leaving him defenseless.You will be able to use it as a tool to deal with the opponent's strategy of agitating the people and expanding the war zone, but it may backfire if things go as the demon king thinks."The smoldering flames in each town will be kindled and cause chaos. If left unchecked, the smoldering fire will become a conflagration. So the fire is something we cannot ignore. Well, it's a simple measure, but that's why it takes time to respond.By deploying an army of angels with blitzkrieg, attention was drawn to the frontier, and in the meantime, an approach to a people dissatisfied with the current regime was being prepared.Humans are individually ineffective, but when they are in numbers, they are a pain in the ass.In the meantime, the next move ...... is to start with the dragon's head, like a brave man.And hang the bait before a discontented populace.Break away from the current environment, change, and be guided by those who have the power to change, and in no time the flock will move toward the bait.It's probably the higher angels that are instigating the conflict. Is it a sitting angel or a wise angel? You have to be able to get a good idea of what you're talking about.If that happens, the Demon King's army will have no choice but to take action.In addition, if the enemy's food is also the higher angels, the demon king's army will have no choice but to eat them.And the more confusion there was, the easier it would be for the heroes to move.The fact that a single entity that can work with more than one army can move around is not a good situation for the demon king's army.''Then why do you only reinforce the Dragon King's side?If that's the case, we should send a rescue mission to the Demon King as well."There are few towns and villages behind the Demon King. There's less need to watch out for angels, so the Demon King's supply route will be preserved. But what about the Dragon King, who has several large cities behind him?The next thing the angel would probably do, the demon king guessed, was to unite the best and brightest who agreed with the rebellion and transform them from a flock into an army.Those who had the blessing of a superior angel, a strong man, would not be defeated and would be willing to take the battlefield.That move would result in a move that would isolate the dragon king's army.''But the enemy army is moving toward the demon king.The army is stalling the demon king, and he doesn't want to be interrupted on the way, I suppose."No way!While the demon king is stranded, the dragon king's army needs a hero.No, I don't think so. Their goal is to hide their bravery and use it as a bargaining chip to cut my head off at the drop of a hat. It won't come up here. And we'll be cutting each other limb from limb for a while. Whoever loses by perseverance or reading will come out of the cave.What do you mean?There must be something to counter the generals, other than a brave man.There are only a limited number of beings with the same or greater power than the general.All of the people in the conference room could picture that existence in their minds.I'll report in!As if to confirm this imagination, a third messenger rushes in!It's a message from the Dragon King!"Did the cutthroat angel lead an army and bump into the dragon king?"What? Yes!That's right."Hmmm, so what is the number of ......?"An army of about 50,000! Many medium angels, several high angels have been identified, and among them a fierce angel, two of them!! A fierce angel, the highest ranking near-god angel.His power rivals that of a general.If there are two such beings....I guess that's just as dangerous as the Dragon King... so let's just bite each other's hands and feet...Even the powerful dragon king is in danger.Nevertheless, the demon king's composure is not broken.Perhaps it's because he stands on the front lines, imagining his men on the rampage and trusting that they'll hold out until reinforcements arrive.Slowly, the demon king watches the movement of his army reflected in the crystal.The smoldering fires of rebellion, if left unchecked, will become a conflagration, but he is prepared to deal with it.It's not too late to rescue the dragon king, who will be trapped in a predicament.And the demon king is unable to move indirectly because the brave man has gone into hiding.It's a back-and-forth game.How to block your opponent's movement, how to wear him down, and how to defeat his plans.From now on, it is a matter of how much damage you can do and how many trump cards you can preserve.The demon king predicts that the one who loses will be the first to get out of the ring.So, leaving the battlefield to his trusted subordinates, the demon king slowly relaxes his shoulders, thinking that he won't have a chance to play for a while.Another side endSide AmeliaOkay, mom, I'm going to work. You can call me if you need anything."Ok, Mommy."Are you really okay?If you want, I can take one more day off so you don't have to.Don't worry, I'm going to be late, okay?My mother, who had reupholstered a cooling sheet to cool her forehead, went off to work looking at me over and over again.Ever since I was hit by the light of the sword held by the man Himikku said was a hero, I've been feeling strange.I had a headache, and my body was sluggish.You should have had confidence in your physical strength, but you haven't had the energy to get out of bed for a few days.I'm giving everyone a hard time, yone.I can see in my mind's eye the friends at my part-time job that I can say I got along with for the first time since I came to Japan.Once, my mother said that she received a phone call from Jiro-san, but at that time my head really hurt and I couldn't answer the phone.I'm not feeling well today, but I'm relatively light, so I can stay awake like this."MikeThe room is quiet, and if you're used to moving your body from dancing and such, you'd find it boring to sit still like this.Maybe because you've been sleeping too much and your eyes are dazzling, you talk to the other presence in your body, which you don't tell Mamie about.But.But he didn't answer.When I'm out of the office, I come out less often, but I still talk to him several times a day.But in the last few days, we haven't talked at all.Even if I didn't have any magic to spare, I would usually have at least a word of encouragement.I don't think it's gone.I'm sure there's a presence I can feel deep inside my body....... what to doBut it is also true that you are acting strangely, and your current physical condition may be related to this.I wish I could talk to you about it, but I can't go to the office with my condition.I wish I could at least call you, but I couldn't because I didn't have the energy to call you.Yes, you can text.Even though I didn't have the energy for a conversation, I reached for my phone and grabbed it connected to the charging cable to at least send a text message.I unlocked my phone and opened my mailbox to find emails from everyone, including Jiro-san.Each one is distinctive, and I feel a little bit cheered by the messages that show that they are concerned about me.I tried to run my fingers through the mail, trying not to let it go to waste.'Hate,'"Mike?But my fingers snapped to a halt at the sound of a voice from deep within my body.I thought for sure that was Mike.But.I hate that light, I hate that glow!"Augh!The usually calm, mischievous, soft voice has no trace of its softness.A cold, sharp cry, like a slap in the face of ice, is pouring out of the depths of my body.The headache intensifies, as if to coincide with the timing.I drop my phone to the floor.But I can't care about that.I won't allow it!I won't forgive you!I'll never forgive you!The sharp pain is so sharp it feels like being hit in the head with a blunt instrument, and I can't think about anything else.I'm dazed and my vision is going dark.You curl up and hold your head to bear the pain, but instead of easing it, it's growing.Doom!Doom to that d*mned light!Ruin!There's something wrong with Mike.That much I know.And I have a feeling that if I don't, I'm going to disappear.A sense of urgency surges through my body, and I manage to stave off a headache that won't go away, as I crawl out of bed and roll to the floor, reaching for the phone I just dropped.Desperately moving your arm as if it were not your own body, you look at the screen of your phone and see a picture of the screen you just tried to reply to.Ta-su-ke.Shivering fingers, her body getting colder and colder.Frightened by it, you move your fingers frantically, trying to escape from the cold that threatens to make you disappear.Finally, I type and press send.That's all I can do.Please, Jiro, sir.It's all gone black in front of me.Amelia side endWord of the DayWhen something happens in a chain, it's hard to keep track of everything.
