The cherry blossom viewing party has ended without incident, but unfortunately it's still going on.

The instructors, the president, the parents-in-law and the wives of those who stayed behind, however, are still drinking with the cherry blossoms at night.

Incidentally, Keely was also there.

Kaido was crushed by the instructors and carried to his room by Amiri and the twin angels, while Amelia returned with her sluggish mother.

The underage group was drinking soft drinks, but left at the right time.

Then, after cleaning up, we said.

Lord, dinner is ready.

"Yeah, I'm coming.

Every last one of us in the hall is coming back.

Ladies, over here.

"Tatte, you don't have to do that.

However, it's not just me, Suela, Memoria, and Himik, but also Evia and Tatte are coming home.

I couldn't push the pregnant Suela for a long time, so I originally planned to stay only during the day.

I got permission from the instructors to lightly clean up and went ahead.

Some battle-crazed demonesses looked disappointed, but I let that pass.

I was sorting the tools, bottles and other trash that I brought back until Himikku finished preparing, and just as I finished sorting the trash, she calls out to me.

I was washing my hands because I had just touched the trash and went to the dining table.

I saw her there, as she usually does.

Tatte was pulling a chair to support Evvia, but she stopped him with her hand and sat down by herself.

You will find that you will be able to get the most out of your work, but as an aristocrat, she is also an aristocrat.

I'm impressed once again, and I'll be sitting in my seat.

Suela and Memoria were sitting ahead of me, and Himik had brought the last meal.

"Please sit down, Tatte-san.

No, I don't.

But Tatte didn't sit down, she was standing behind Evvia.

Tatte, the landlord here is Jiro. It's only polite to obey the landlord's words.

"Okay, I'll take your word for it. I'll take you up on your offer.

At first Tatte wanted to work as a waiter, but unfortunately we are not the kind of house to do that, so I suggested she take a seat.

At first, she refused my invitation, but at the word of Evia, she took a seat next to me.

Smiling at that, I look at my seat and see Himikku sitting there too.

When everyone was seated, they clasped their hands together and said, "Let's eat.

"Itadakimasu.

I say, "Let's have it," and Suela and the others say, "Let's have it," and Evia and Tatte follow suit.

The ratio of male to female at the table is strange, but that's a little late for that.

And since we are eating for Hanami, it's not a full-fledged dinner, but a light meal prepared by Himik, plus drinks on the table.

It's not a full-blown dinner, but rather a snack prepared by Himik, plus drinks on the table.

I don't know what to do.

"There are that many?

The after-party began with light chit-chat, but I was drunk and Evvia and I were still drinking slowly.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.

It's not that you're dissatisfied, but at the same time you still want it to be fixed, but you admit that the act itself has an effect.

Evvia's face shows no signs of dissatisfaction, despite her complaints.

It's not so much a lot. She knows her place, so she weighs herself. But not if you think it's necessary. When the time is right, as it was here, and the effect on others is minimal, there is no one to stop her. She'll vanish and then appear.

She may be drunk, but still conscious, and the president's actions spoken from her mouth are unusual, but seemingly often witnessed.

"So it's like a ghost story. Do Suela and the others know about this?

I've only heard of it through rumors, but I've also heard of a secondhand account of the demon king's sudden appearance.

I've seen it from a distance. I think it was when he came to inspect the underground facilities, and then it was a disaster.

Hearing such stories, I wondered if this was a story known only to the top brass, and I asked Suela and her friends if it was true, but surprisingly, that's not the case.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

When was that?

"Well, the only thing I remember about being an idiot is that they don't take me seriously anymore.

It's like a retired person holding an Inroku or a magistrate with cherry blossom tattoos," he said, thinking about the fact that his impression of the Demon King is very different from the one he had imagined.

I'm sure it's the same when I first met him, but our president is a far cry from the image I had of the Demon King, is that normal?

In my mind, the demon king is a guy who smiles broadly, conquers the world, and brings destruction.

But since I joined this company, I don't even come into contact with that image.

......... I don't know what kind of image you have of the demon king, but that man is different even from the previous demon kings. I don't know what kind of image you have of the Demon King, but that man is different from the previous generations of Demon Kings.

When I told her that, Evia chose her words a little and then told me about the president.

It's a bit of a unique background, normally the position of demon king would be impossible to attain without a miracle on top of a miracle. However, he created that miracle with his abilities and stood there. Perhaps because of his unique background, he understands the importance of establishing a firm foothold better than any other demon king of all time. That's why he came to your banquet and said such things.

Shaking the ice drifting in the glass of whiskey, Evvia explains the reason for the president's appearance at this flower viewing.

The dungeon is the wedge that makes our longing come true. It's only natural for her to be concerned about the existence of a person who will change the dungeon. I've never heard of this in the past,

In the past, there was a vampire who became the Demon King, the famous Demon King of the Red Moon, but his nature and character were opposite to the current Demon King, and he was feared by both humans and subordinates.

There have been Demon Kings from the Dark Elves as well, but there are some who are highly elective and exclusive, and others who have a strong spirit mentality, but it's rare to find one like the current Demon King.

The more I listen to the story, the more I get the impression that the president is not like the demon king.

The more I listen to the story, the more I get the impression that the president is not like a demon king.

But I don't get the impression that that's strange.

It's more like a new innovation rather than something out of character for a demon king.

It must be amazing to be expected by a president like that.

An unusual demon king.

I guess that's because I see things differently.

I'm probably one of the most cared for among the testers.

That makes me nervous, but I'm also happy and almost get goose bumps.

Is it tactless of me to tell you that your face is the only thing that matters? No, I was afraid I'd be shy when I was given the opportunity to fight the demon king, but I'm relieved.

The peach peaches have been puffed up by the gusto of the peaches.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I was in such a good mood, but when I finished my drink in my glass, my face was serious.

Jiro, you've grown up more than anyone else over the past year. Even from my point of view, that growth is astounding. But still it's not enough to challenge her. Overwhelmingly.

The expression on your face is due to the fact that you know what you are capable of.

I've been with the company for a year, and as Evia said, I'm aware of my growth.

You'll find that the number of injuries has decreased due to the disciplining of the instructors, which is a shameful story, but Evvia has acknowledged this.

Is that so?

I'm sorry to say, Lord, but that demon king probably wouldn't last a second if he was serious. If you're going it alone, I might be able to last a minute. Once you've recovered your senses, you might be able to extend it a bit.

I don't even have the ability to measure the Demon King's strength.

"Me too.

I don't know how much of a difference in ability there is, so I asked Suela and the others, but looking at the expressions on the faces of Himikku, Suela, and Memoria, I understand the difference in ability is so great that it can only be seen as a hopeless difference.

I'm not sure if it's selfish to want to surprise them anyway, even though you said you'd be willing to go easy on me ..........

Even when you hear such stories, greed is a secret ingredient.

I felt the difference in strength from the beginning.

I understood.

But as a man, I held on to the confused feeling and tried to think of some way to at least get revenge.

But there's nothing you can do when the gap between your abilities is so obvious.

It's annoying to give up, so I think about it until the very last minute, but in the end I come to the conclusion that there's no way out and that I'm just being selfish.

Selfishness, I know how you feel. So I'll tell you. It's not like Jiro doesn't have a way to surprise me.

My words were picked up by Evia.

I wouldn't have said it to the Jiro of old, but now you have a chance.

I wonder if she takes into account my abilities and the way I do things, she puts her glass on the table and puts her hand to her chin and says thoughtfully.

"Miss, if I may,

"......... Yeah, it's a pain in the ass, but I'm sure the demon king knows what he's capable of.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to do that.

You'll be able to find a lot of people who have a lot of problems with the demon king. The Onion King and the Immortal King, of course, but also the Kiki King, the Tree King, and even the dead guy with the bugs. The only one who didn't cause any problems was the giant king.

There were six people named.

But there were seven generals.

That means.

but they all fought against the lord. They were all outnumbered. Only one of them had the demon king's near-fatal wound. When the battle was over, he chased the king down more than anyone else, even though he was on the verge of survival. The battle was always about the demon king, but he drove it to his knees with a single attack and defense.

I don't have to ask who.

Everyone sitting here knew who Evvia-san was referring to.

but he's still one of the most powerful generals in the army. He's usually aloof, but I don't know what he can do when he's serious.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a person who declares himself to be a problematic person, but Evvia, who dismisses most events as not being a problem, is the Dragon King .

I've only caught a glimpse of him on stage at the induction ceremony.

The human nature, or in this case, the dragon nature?

I don't know what kind of existence there is, but Evvia is offering me possibilities in a matter-of-fact way.

I'm sure you're stuck in the King's dungeon, right, Jiro? It wouldn't hurt to take on his dungeon for a change. Maybe you'll get something out of it?

The Dragon King's Dungeon.

The word danger always flickers at the head of its reputation.

It's not that other dungeons aren't dangerous, it's that they've become synonymous with danger as the land of dragons.

This is a dungeon that I avoided when I joined the company as I wasn't good enough.

But now it might be the best place to improve your skills.

When you look at Suela and the others, you might be worried.

It's true that Jiro-san would have no problem fighting at that place.

"Hmm, the Lord would have survived if he hadn't come out as an old dragon.

Well, it's time for me to sell you some new materials, and my store will be able to provide you with anti-dragon tools.

In fact, he was even more positive than I was.

"If you're worried about it, ask Tatte to tell you about the dragon.

You're not going to hide in your office while you're at it, are you, Miss?

And as Evvia tried to work with me, Tatte's complaint echoed in the room, and we laughed.

"A dragon's nest!

Those words stayed in my head more than I had imagined.

Word of the Day

I think it would be nice to operate in a new place.
