Apparently, the test items included a wide range of ..........

What do I mean by "apparently"?

That's because I have no memory of being subjected to it.

Basic body measurements were taken while I was unconscious.

When did that happen?

I honestly questioned him, and he said I had been unconscious for three days.

According to the doctor, he guessed that my body had to take a break as a defensive instinct to allow the dragon's blood to adjust to my body.

In the meantime, he's already done a full range of tests, from human examination to magical examination.

So I said it seems so.

But Evia said there was more.

I asked the doctor what was left, but the familiar lizardman doctor smiled and said there was only one more to go.

And when he said there was only one more to go.

Then what's left to do?

I'm ......... supposed to be sick," he said.

While stretching to relieve your stiff body from sleeping with Ichni, you complain and look around.

I went to bed last night with Evvia's words.

In my mind, I woke up thinking, "Well, I'll have to talk to Suela and the others when I finish the rest of the tests," but I was made to change and brought to this place.

This is a special room above the training facilities that you usually use, which is different from the Toki Yuan room.

The room is more than twice the size, but of course the walls and flooring have been intricately designed.

The pillars on all sides reveal some kind of magical decoration.

Moreover, various messengers flit around me, observing my movements from various angles.

Furthermore, mages, not dungeon testers, but the demon king's army, that is, court mages, have been gathered around the wall as if to surround you.

Well, I didn't think that the examination of the demon king's army was only a medical examination. Well, I wasn't expecting the examination of the demon king's army to be just a medical examination.

In addition to that, the researcher is probably working on collecting data from a place that overlooks this hierarchy.

I'm sad to see what's going to happen as I look at my outfit, both understanding and accepting.

Jiro.

"Suela, Memoria, Himik.

While I was preparing for what was to come in such an escapist state of mind, three women, Suela, Memoria, and Himik, approached me anxiously.

I stopped stretching and turned to face them.

Thank you three for coming, and thank you again for worrying me. And, again, thank you for worrying me. I'm sorry.

And the first thing they did was to thank and apologize to them.

They came for a simple reason.

It was my hope that I wanted to see them before the examination, on the pretense that I would need to be in good physical and mental condition to undergo this examination.

As expected, I'm not comfortable with the idea of going to the examination after being asleep for three days without contacting them.

I'm sure Evvia has already reported to them, but I asked her to call them to make up for it, at least for a while.

No, it's okay if they are safe. I've heard the summary from Evia-sama, so Jiro-san, is your health okay?

"Your doctor says you haven't had any problems the last three days. I haven't had any physical problems or discomfort since I woke up. If I had to choose, I'd say I'm feeling better than I've ever felt in my life.

The first thing Suela worried about was my health condition.

Hearing that I had dragon's blood in my body, it was obvious that this was not an ordinary situation, and even though Evia had assured me that I was fine, she was still concerned.

Although a little obscured by her brown skin and makeup, there were tear marks around her eyes from crying.

"Besides, this is going to affect the way I live my life from now on. So I just want to reassure you guys that this is going to be okay.

How many times do I have to worry about her.

No...

Jiro, I mean, I know it's inconvenient, but please don't worry too much. Please be patient with me as I wait.

You see. No matter how strong the Lord gets, you can't force him. You need to get a good night's rest. Yeah, that's why we're at ..........

I don't care about them.

Suela tends to act as stout as she can without putting the burden on me.

I have to be aware of that.

Memoria is normally quiet, but she says what she wants to say.

But it's clear from her face that she's thinking of me.

And as you repeatedly look at each other and avert your gaze, you can see Himikku clumsily but anxiously squeezing your left arm with her right hand.

I know you don't want to be a burden like Suela, but do you still want to express your feelings?

Yeah, I know. Well, first of all, why don't you take some time off when this is all over?

I would like to respond to their feelings, but I can't quit this job just yet.

Suela has a child in her.

I need to earn a good living.

I'll propose the vacation plan to HR later. I've been working you a little too hard. These new testers are starting to take shape.

"Ms. Evier.

The air became a little mournful and damp, but as if to replace the air, Evia appeared.

'What, can't you just call me by my name like that? We're engaged to be married. I don't have to worry about it.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good look at your own personal life.

It's a good idea to have a private meeting with the people around you, especially if you're looking at them warmly.

"Hmm, let's hope for that private time, then.

I explained that the gaze was a misunderstanding of what people were doing when they were worried.

This softens the gaze and the previous melancholy atmosphere is gone.

"......... Master Evvia, it's...

But this time the air is a little swift.

It's my mineral tree that was pushed into view with a cart behind Evvia.

The white mineral tree is a sharp change from the gaze we had seen earlier.

It's the same with Memoria and Himik.

One false move and you could have been dead, and my partner, no matter how powerful they are, is a matter of replacing them.

The tests show no problems. The blacksmith and the researcher in my company have said it all.

"But

The reason I bring it here is because I will use it afterwards.

And if the situation was known to be used, Suera protested to Ms. Evia without hesitation about her actions.

She is determined to make sure that nothing happens to her, and she faces the seriousness of her work, rather than the playful eyes of her superior, Evvia's teasing eyes.

I think she doesn't mean it.

But as a leader of the Demon King's Army, this is a unique opportunity to gather data on cases like mine.

Is profit the priority or humanity?

It's an ever-present question in a corporate organization.

From Evvia's point of view, she wanted to be as safe as possible.

Starting with my checkup, the investigation by my blacksmith and researcher, and the immediate response by Evia and her court mage to make sure that if anything were to happen, I would be ready to help.

To prevent that from happening, you have to kill the possibility.

There is no way that she, who prepared such an environment, could not be able to understand Suela's feelings.

But perhaps because she tries to keep her emotions out of it, she doesn't use emotional words.

"Suela.

"Oops, don't say more. I'll take it from there.

An entity appears to call Suela's name and interrupts her line of "I'll take full responsibility," as if to snatch her from the side.

Demon King.

"Mr. President.

Whoa, you and the others don't have to kneel. If people hear you pushed a pregnant woman to do something, it would be bad news and I wouldn't feel good about it. The child is a national treasure.

The president, the demon king, appeared with Instructor Kio and Instructor Fusio.

The timing of his appearance was so good that it seemed like he was timing his arrival with his usual gorgeous smile.

Suella and Memoria were about to kneel at his arrival, but the president quickly stopped them by holding out his right hand in front of them.

Now, are you Suela from the Hendelberg family?

Yes, it's an honor to be remembered by your name.

Yes, I remember you well for hiring someone like him.

I'm sorry.

And although they will know each other, this confirmation is sort of a formality.

It's the kind of exchange that makes it clear which side is higher.

The demon king bows neatly and bows to Suera, who gives a cheerful response.

It's an exchange that makes it clear to anyone who's looking at it, apart from its character, which one is higher.

......... I'm afraid to ask you to forgive me, Demon King,

Yes, I can kind of see where you're going with this, but I forgive you. Say it.

Yes, in the upcoming mock battle with my fiancé, would you please reconsider the use of his mineral wood in the event of a mock battle?

"I don't know if it's a wild question to ask why. I know why and I know how you feel.

And although Suela has a position in the Demon King's army, her position is not strong enough to allow her to raise her voice.

The instructors and Ms. Evvia do not want to stop, so it's a good thing, but the reaction of the people around them is not so good.

I'd like to say it's fine with me.

But Suela isn't the only one who couldn't condone her actions, as I can see how Memoria, Himik and Evia's friends felt.

So, while I braced myself to take the blame for the president's displeasure, he looked at me to make sure it was okay.

Well, then!

But as a king, your statement is unacceptable. There's no need to ask why? You're a wise man. There's no way he couldn't know how much this data would benefit the Demon King's army.

The president, who is acting as a demon king rather than as an individual, as if to chide Suela, who is slightly more enthusiastic, and whose eyes flicker as if to say something, but in the end, Suela can only nod yes.

It's easy to get emotional like a child here.

But it's her and the people around her who have a lot to lose from it.

She reasoned that Suela couldn't go that far because she was carrying a child.

But she looks frustrated, and I gently stand aside and hold her hand.

Lightly, but firmly, as if to say it's okay.

"Hmmm, Evvia, was I being a little harsh? I'm a demon king, so I'm used to being a villain, but I didn't expect to be made to look like a villain like this.

No, it's not a problem.

"Oh? Apparently, my secretary hates me too. Lydow, no life, why don't you have a nice drink with the guys tonight?

"Ha ha ha! At times like this, there is no substitute for drinking, General!

"Kakaka, a man's position is weak at times like this. Then I'll prepare a bottle of a man's best-kept secret.

The president, who was happy to see this action, spoke to Evvia in a bit of a jocular manner, but as if he hadn't been enthusiastic about the mock battle that was to follow, he kept his answer to a safe answer.

The president noticed the difference in her mood, shrugged his shoulders and asked the instructors to comfort her, to which they replied that they would be happy to talk about it.

Now that you're feeling more relaxed, I'd like to turn it over to Handelberg, Tris and Himik. I'm very aware of your concerns, including Evvia's, and I'll take the mock battle to the best of my ability. I'm sure that the increase or decrease in his strength will have a bearing on his performance, and we can't just leave it at that.

So much for the flow of calming the mood, the president, now serious, faced Suela and the others and stated his point clearly.

The girls nodded their heads silently, understanding that.

I know you have your grievances, and I'm not going to ask for your peace of mind. But I'm going to declare. There will be no chance of this simulation. Because?

The president nodded with satisfaction at the response and gave a wink.

And the words that follow confirm my biggest concern.

Because it is I, the demon king, who will be dealing with him. There will be no mistakes.

Yes, I will fight the president after this.

Word of the Day

Sleep and wake up and interact with the head of the organization, normally nervous.
