When I hurriedly returned to Kitamiya and the company, I found that the place was in a far different state than usual.

The entrance floor, the face of the company, which had been quietly but solemnly unified, had been reduced to a tragic state.

Chairs and desks were blown away across the board, leaving a trail of shattered flooring here and there, and the walls showed many shattered and scorched spots.

The reception counter, for example, has lost its original shape.

It's so crushed that you wonder what happened to make it look like that.

In my experience it's obvious that these are battle scars, and now goblins and orcs are clearing away the rubble and broken desks and chairs, while giants are repairing them.

...... It's worse than I thought.

Yes.

When you think of Amelia doing this, even if it's not her intention, her expression is indeed darkened.

It's the same with Kitamiya, looking around and agreeing with you.

For now, I'm going to look around to see if there's anyone I can check the situation with.

"Don't do it, Evia-sama! You are still healing from your injuries!

"Get out of the way. Now is the time. Ignore the pain.

Looking for Kaido to be there, instead of finding a supervisor walking painfully and imposingly against it on the floor.

His left hand was hung with a cloth and his forehead was wrapped in a bandage.

Normally, he was wearing a tight-fitting suit, but now he was wearing no jacket and a shirt.

There is something like a spell affixed to his feet where you can see it.

It's obviously a serious injury, and he's not in a position to get up and walk around.

And yet the supervisor is acting as if he's not hurt.

The medical officer is trying to stall the supervisor, but she ignores his advice.

The severity of the injury is revealed by the fact that the supervisor, who would normally use transference magic to save time, is now walking.

"The supervisor lost?

"No way, right?

Looking at the figure, Kitamiya and I were astonished at the fact that this tragedy wasn't just the result of Amelia's rampage.

This tragedy was the result of a battle between Amelia and the supervisor, not a victory for the supervisor when you integrate that figure with Kaido's story.

Maybe not, but the tragic figure of a supervisor who could boast of extraordinary strength in the company, we're all in for a real fight? And there is nothing to do but twitch.

Speaking of demons, they must have been tough enough to rival demons in durability.

I don't want to imagine the power of the soul of the demon king lurking in Amelia, who competed with the superior strength of the superintendent among them.

"Hmm? You're back at the right time. Jiro, follow me.

"Yes, Kitamiya, go to your room. Kaido should be there.

"...... Okay. You can tell me later.

"Yes,

The supervisor, who gave me a look that said, "Don't make me question you," found me and sent Kitamiya to the party room, ignoring the medical officer and following the supervisor.

I followed him to an unused conference room.

Are you aware of the situation?

"Lightly, to the extent of overview

"Then explain the details.

The supervisor, as if standing is too much for him, immediately sits down and asks me to sit down, and when he confirms that I'm seated, he starts talking.

Your subordinate, Amelia Miyagawa, has gone out of control. It's because of the soul of the first demon king sealed inside him. Do you understand that much?

As a preliminary check-up, put out the points that caused the uproar in the information shared with each other.

Yes,

From what Kaido said, I thought that might be the case, but the supervisor's words changed my expectations to certainty.

The damage is all the way from the entrance to the gate. I don't know if they searched Miyagawa's memory or if they originally knew, but it didn't move without hesitation. But just because he didn't hesitate, doesn't mean he was normal. I took care of him when he came into the company, dripping with unusual magic, but now that guy is insane.

With that preamble, the supervisor told me the situation at the time.

When the outwardly undressed Amelia came to the company, the supervisor wanted to check out the heavy, cloudy magic she normally didn't feel, and when she shifted, she found Amelia.

"Her eyes were tinted with hatred, and she didn't respond to my questioning when she looked at me. She was just blindly pursuing something. When the conversation didn't take place, I decided it was time for an emergency and tried to subdue it, but here we are.

It's not laughing or shouting as if to vent your mind.

It's just that the supervisor who stood in front of Amelia, whose eyes were cloudy and bloodshot, wandered around trying to find her grudge enemy, seemed to have immediately judged that dialogue was impossible.  After issuing a warning, he immediately went into full-on combat, which he normally would not show.

Even with high-level magic, the technology must be rusty, and Amelia's body restricts her ability to use her full strength.

The battle was under many conditions, but the result was the release of suppressed magic power, and it is said that it was all you could do to suppress it.

Fortunately, the dungeon was undamaged, but I had to send him out to battle instead.

I thought you might have heard of ...... gate, but does that mean Amelia has gone over there, too?

Yeah, I've sent my men to check it out, and we've seen it cross into our home continent. I still have my men tracking him, and I haven't lost him, but the direction indicates that he's probably headed for the battlefield. It's only a matter of time before he sets foot on the battlefield.

We don't know what the Demon King inside Amelia is thinking and acting towards, but we can guess what his goal is.

It's revenge.

It would be revenge against those who belong to the Sun God, such as the brave men.

So, what do you want me to do by telling you this? You want me to go over there and bring Amelia back?

The fact that the superintendent, who avoids doing anything at all, only called me in to tell me something.

And there are two main ways to tell them: let them do it or stop them.

For me, if they tell me to do it, I'm going to do it.

On the other hand, if they tell you not to move, you'll have to wonder what you're going to do.

Specifically, I'm going to have to convince the supervisor.

If this were a not-so-familiar person, it would be the opposite, but unfortunately, we're dealing with someone who is close enough to us that we won't be abandoned.

You don't want to do nothing.

Yes.

"...... affirms it surprisingly easily.

I thought I was going to be told not to move because I wasn't good enough, but the supervisor simply affirmed my question.

I'm in a situation where I have to use any available man, even a cat. But we have to keep the company running, so it's not possible. And then there are only a few that can be moved.

As an employee, it's a blessing to be certified as a serviceable guy, but I don't feel comfortable with what he says he can do.

It's even more complicated when you have the power to change the status quo. Jiro, your fallen angel is going to have to work too.

"What are you going to do?

Himikku is supposed to be protected under my supervision.

And while she'll do anything Suela or Memoria asks, she won't accept orders from the rest of the demon king's army.

When I ask Himiku for a favor, she tries to do everything I ask of her, so I can't ask her to do it carelessly, but basically, she has a separate position from the demon king's army.  

If you take Himiku with you, the situation becomes even more dubious.

At least at this stage the battle is sure to occur.

"We'll draw out the heroes.

The superintendent, or rather the movement of the demon king's army was explained to me.

The general's all generals, including the reserve force, have been sent out to deal with this rebellion.

The enemy also has its own forces at hand, and since we are holding the balance between the two sides, we need a breakthrough plan.

The solution is to defeat the opponent's trump card, the brave man, Carter with the holy sword.

What does this have to do with Amelia?

"Miyagawa's condition right now is almost the same as the demon king's. And the brave man, the bearer of the holy sword is sensitive to the magic of the existence of the demon king. If he senses this magic, he will reveal himself. I'll have the demon king strike you there.

"You mean as a decoy, but isn't it possible that they won't get on board?

It's not.

"May I ask why?

''Miyagawa's existence is classified even within the Demon King's Army. Although he's superficially registered as a tester, only a few people know of his existence. Only those under the direct control of a general or higher are privy to it. It's not the kind of information a frontier guy would have. If they knew, they wouldn't have left it behind. You can fool them the first time, let alone the second time.

The fact that the information that Amelia has the soul of a demon king inside her body is being kept secret is a good match for this situation.

Normally, it's impossible to think of two demon kings.

What kind of nightmare is this?

You'll be in charge of retrieving Miyagawa and calming him down when the hero and the demon king are in battle.

"There is a way, isn't there?

"I won't let you go scot-free.

At present, it is a brave man, in a bad way, to go against Amelia, who, though deteriorating, has demonstrated strength comparable to that of the demon king.

It could become a kamikaze suicide attack.

To prevent that from happening, the supervisor explained his plan to me.

...... Really?

"I love a joke, but I pick my timing. Can you do that?

"In terms of what you can and can't do, it is possible.

"Then do it.

"Yes, sir.

The plan was so outrageous that I asked for confirmation, but the supervisor didn't say it was a lie or a joke, but he asked me if I could do it.

When I say yes, the supervisor orders me to do it.

Can I get someone else?

Yeah, we'll need it. I'll tell them to get their equipment. I'll get everyone who can be mobilized.

Now I just need to get ready.

With that, I'm going to get up from my seat and get ready.

Jiro.

The supervisor stopped me.

"What is it?

I turned around and looked at the supervisor and he was staring at me.

"Come back safe.

"You won't get it intact, but I'll do my best.

That's it.

He sent me off with a gentleness that he doesn't usually show.

Word of the Day

Well, let's do what we can.
