Another side

As planned.

In a large, luxurious office corner, the room is dimly lit because the curtains are closed off to block out the sunlight.

Through the screen of your computer, the only light source in the room, you can see a human being surrounded by it.

It's also comical when it's surrounded by humans.

Even a demon lord is not all-powerful.

Even Evvia of the Annihilationist will have to overlook my plans.

Where there's advantage, there's justice; where there's power, there's principle. The beautiful things humans say are worthless in this world.

You smile and lean back in the fine chair you've acquired in this world.

But the technology of this world is not to be trifled with.

With this communication technology, you'll be able to rouse the army at will.

Then you would overwhelm an army that is behind in technology.

That man, who seems quite capable for a human, is in my hands as well, but now we are in the realm of speculation.

"How will you handle this?

That's the area I like.

I move slowly through mostly unknown territory, fearing the unknown, the unseen future.

It's a shame, if you ask me, to go down a black and blind path with your feet on the ground, checking your foothold firmly.

It's no exaggeration to say that the outcome of the game will be decided in the preliminary stages.

But that would be boring.

It could go either way.

Isn't that fun, the game of the unknown and the unknown.

A screen with several angles, and you can do the same thing with magic, but this one is clearer and doesn't crush the user.

"Look at me, look at me, look at me

View the picture unfolding on many sides with a little excitement

The situation is as bad as it gets, if not worse, because you're dealing with a manipulated colleague.

It doesn't mean that cutting him down won't be a problem, and it won't make him crippled.

But that doesn't mean we can't win the fight, the opponent's abilities are far from perfect, and with his status, it won't be easy, but we won't lose.

It's not a sure thing, but in things, you never know what's going to happen.

It's a standoff now, but will things start moving quickly?

Yeah, it's starting to work after all.

It seems to be a group of course that's moving.

Of course, I'm running things.

But people here are funny.

It's so easy to fool them just by smiling.

Is this what you call easy?

It didn't take long for them to brainwash you, and they thought you were part of their family because you're their employee.

You are still in the midst of testing, and as a member of the demon king's army, this time you should give up and be manipulated as a lesson.

Now, how do you think you'll react? I'm still confused as a human being, right? Would you be angry at me for not being able to see?

The first move is a party of wizards with feelings of resentment, or perhaps even jealousy, against him.

It's the worst-performing and least useful party in the world.

Why did I decide to use this formation?

Well, okay.

I moved it for his sake, and I'm sure he'll be a little confused, but I'm sure he'll move to subdue it.

"Huh?

Now I think I sounded very stupid.

This is still part of the demon king's army.

It's not that I couldn't see what he was doing.

This bewilderment wasn't a response to not knowing, but to how quickly he responded.

As soon as you started chanting your magic, you jumped at the first wizard, dug your foot into his abdomen, hunched over, and then, with your momentum, clipped his head with your knee and threw him to the ground with all your might.

Yeah, not dead, just not dead.

I'm trying to give the guys I'm controlling some freedom of action to intercept them, but three of them got killed while I was stunned.

That's a martial art called earth wrestling, right?

I think it's called a German Suplex.

Rather, I can't help but be surprised at your relentlessness.

Isn't it normal to be more confused and hesitant, to try and fight it out?

Thus, how despicable! And such a terrible thing! Like .

Isn't this a scene that shows more righteous emotions?

At least not in a scene where they let you blow smoke out of a cigarette at leisure, like you do, right?

Oh, that's funny.

It's hard to tell which one is the villain, and your armor fits our vibe.

I'm going to have to be serious about this one! I'm getting excited!

Unbutton your shirt, unbutton your tie, and roll up your arms!

Hmmm, if I could fight directly, I'd win in no time, but it's fun to limit it this way!

The strings at his fingertips move freely in a hand-rolled frame.

Yes, his companion is the easiest to use of them all.

He's well-balanced and can move well.

The others are a little harder to move than the others.

It turns beautifully vertical.

Alright, the magic chant is over, dude! Huh! Kick it off or it will, yeah, and now the bow!

Oh! That's how you avoided the upper body warping in the movie!

Ah! Also crushed.

Go then! It's a magic triple shot! Oh, I used Zee as a shield.

Well, it's okay, because he has the life force of a demon king, and now, let's bring in the girl party!

This won't be able to attack in a hurry, and, oh, Zee's being used as a weapon.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that either, right?

I don't think it's a good idea to grab your foot to shoot back magic, no matter how strong it is and use it as a shield.

The girl's party has started firing magic on its own.

Well, that's not a problem, but what should we do?

I would absorb the magic as it decomposes, and then end up absorbing the magic from my body after approaching it, but I don't think I'd hit a girl, as expected. ...... Yeah!

The girl party was wiped out!

You outcast! Zee is not a weapon! You'd be dead if you were thrown from that height! They're not dead.

A strange liquid was splashed on the ground and the smell of it made the girls faint!

I'm serious!

I'm channeling my magic to them for indirect physical enhancement!

Oh, they're starting to use enhancements, too.

Form up and oh, they'll crush you before you can form up.

No, it would be better if I had a few of my men with me.

We're still managing to hold together with just his people, but that's the only part we can cover.

I've stuck him in the wall, choked him off, and slammed some of them to the ground as hard as I could.

I know you're trying to add or subtract from the fact that you're not using your back weapons, but honestly, you're not doing it.

It's more like a lack of motivation than a lack of ability.

I'm stuck.

We're stuck, and in a few minutes they'll be wiped out.

I was going to try to get the first spur of the moment to put up a good fight, but my outlook was a little bleak.

I was going to try to bring a good game to the table to upset them at first, but the outlook was a bit bleak.

The healers have been suppressed, the wizards have been wiped out, and the vanguard with only two men has just been overrun.

We have no problem with our abilities.

"Well, how do you think the elders are doing? For me, I don't mind pulling him in,

Stop moving your fingers to dismiss this as the end.

There aren't more than a few moving threads left to begin with.

I'm tempted to have a little more fun, but the end is the end and I have to accept it.

If you cut the string off, there will be no evidence.

No one but me and the old man on the screen who came on board with the story will ever know.

That leaves one screen of him, and the rest of the screen shows the people who were watching this not-quite-battle game.

I see, it's going to be useful in terms of fighting.

But isn't too much combat power a bit too dangerous?

The fact is, if we are in danger of an uprising, we are in danger.

"You don't seem to be worried about that, do you?

"Lord Soda, on what basis is that?

With the stress of the unfamiliar environment relieved to some extent by this battle, I smile and answer the old men's questions with a pleasant sense of fatigue.

There are several reasons for this, but two main ones. First, he himself has no advantage to attack us unless he invades this world. As for us, this world is dead, but it's not a land of merit, so there's no reason to take it. In this respect, our philosophy and his are in agreement. Plus, he doesn't have such a strong sense of justice. As you can see from the battle, justice is something other than a vague concept, he has principles of action. Next, as far as his own life is concerned, as long as he doesn't attack us, he won't be in danger. He has a girlfriend in the company, and he is on good terms with the goblins. He's the one who comes closest to our side of the table among the other testers.

When I explain that we don't mean them any harm, the old people wrinkle their hard heads and give me a reluctant look, but they seem to understand, but are they not convinced yet?

Oh no, I wonder if I will have a hard head like that in the future?

You have to be careful.

A mercenary is the easiest way to explain his position. If you hire him for money and he abides by his contract, he won't betray you, and he may even be willing to listen to a certain amount of recklessness.

Was I crazy when I first heard of his existence? I'm sure you'll be able to trust me to a certain extent when you hear that Evvia likes me.

The only way I would have done this is if I hadn't been asked to do so by the demon king, who is an old friend of mine.

It's a disgusting job to convince these hard-headed old men, but this time, was it rather enjoyable?

I think I enjoyed it as much as when I set up a teacher I hated in school.

What do you think? Why don't you leave this to me for once? We won't do anything wrong.

"If you say so, let it be.

The moment you say "I'm responsible for everything," you flip-flop so quickly.

It's the same old thing.

I'll contact the demon tribe, show them how to deal with other species, have my men gather information and then we'll go to the demon king for dinner tonight.

You, boy, don't you remember the succubus' store? Book it over there, VIP of course, and make sure your billing address is Maou-sama, hmm? Okay, fine, you can come too if you want.

As if the conversation is over, you turn off the screen and look at the departing elders and choose a way to relieve the fatigue you felt beyond the stress you just resolved.

Your subordinate demon is shaking his head as hard as he can, but unfortunately, you're forced out.

Don't worry, don't worry, we'll find you a sweetie you like.

Our work is done for the day.

You did your best friend a favor, so you're leaving early today.

Oh, it'll be fun to have him over.

It's tough being on top, but I definitely don't want to be in that position.

And he's in trouble.

I could show you what I can do, but hey.

Well, I'm just reporting in, but I want to see Evia's face.

Oh, that was fun.

Another side END

What to do.

The pace of smoking is so fast that it's not a habit anymore, it's a dependency.

When I joined this company, I got hacked, I tried to solve a problem, but I was accused of complaining, I tried to do my job, but I was sent to another department (party), the president warned me that my life was in danger, and I was told by the stinky G that there are people who plot to kill each other's testers... Well ......

"I can get mad, right?

Obstruction of business.

Oh, it's frustrating.

Even a cigarette won't calm me down.

I should have been able to keep a cool head.

"Give give! Seniors! I'm cool with it! You're crazy!

"Oh? I can't hear you.

You have decided to warp the shrimp by engaging in a stress-relieving task, a turnaround from subduing work.

'And then? You have no memory, do you?

That's right! I was in the P (party) room just now!

"d*mn, you got no clue,

This is the aftermath of a tragedy.

The corpses of men who fell prey to wrestling techniques such as German suplexes and power bombs with all their might, if not stabbing into the ground.

Men who fell prey to numerous Sentai special moves.

The women of Kitamiya and Minami didn't hit them, but I made them experience a full-on fall, not a full-on free fall from a choke hold, and caught Zee, who was laughing happily there, and threw him to the ground.

It's a refreshing and slightly hazy feeling, but the annoying feeling is gone, so it's okay.

Wado? I used him as a shield in the middle of a crowded battle, and he's still writhing from a critical hit to a man's vital point.

I'm in the middle of squeezing his last victim, Kaido, with a shrimp warp.

Huh? Tap? I can't hear you.

I can't work today, can I?

"Let's say, you're a senior?

I was just defending myself.

"It's over-defense,

"a**h*les, you're the blades and I'm the bare hands, self-defense.

I've broken a few bones, but they should be non-life threatening.

Okay, that's enough of the escape from reality.

Huh, I need to call this in.

You're right. We can't explain it.

"What do I have to explain to Suela?

When you were on the rampage a while ago, you were just letting the tension take over and acting out, but after you got your head out of your ass, the reality that you wanted to run away was right in front of you.

Get on a roll and go potty-cookin' buster! And Rye Kick! I should have just called for help.

I was stressed out by all the interruptions at work lately, but I didn't act in a haphazard way.

I'm sorry that I acted so randomly because I've been under a lot of stress lately.

I blame the guy for interfering with everything I did!

I'd love to say that, but it's no use. What you do is what you do and you have to deal with it honestly. ......

"Senpai, don't worry.

"If you're going to comfort me, you better have a better word for it.

Let out a sigh and pick up a training camp extension.

I call the emergency room first, then Suela.

"Yes, Tester Division, this is Suela.

"Oh, Suela, sorry to be at work.

"Jiro? What's up?

"No, no, I got into some pretty bad trouble. I got into a brawl with some other testers and had to put them down.

"Are you hurt?

"I'm only scratched. But some of the other testers couldn't take it easy. I did call the emergency room.

I'm a little relieved that Suela is concerned about me in the first place, and I tell her how it happened, with all the vague information about how it happened.

As expected, I don't think I can go this far and solve the problem on my own.

'I see, they were insane.

Oh, it seems that Kaido's last memory was interrupted when he was talking with Masaru and the others in his room.

"......

"Suela? Any idea what that means?

"Yes, I have some ideas.

Once silent, I became concerned and called out to him, but this time his voice was heavy, as if he was suffering from some kind of headache.

Well, is there anything I can do to help?

"We'll have a report for you soon, but other than that, it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

"Are you sure?

You can't hide your surprise at the lack of blame.

To sum up Zee's story, this is a skirmish between colleagues.

The fact that there's practically no blame for the devastation caused by an extreme game of musical chairs is rather eerie.

Yes, our circumstances may be involved, but please submit a detailed report as soon as possible.

Okay, I'm sorry to bother you.

You are going to do everything by yourself, you can rely on me more.

"It's called being a man's vanity, I just want to look a little better in front of you.

"It's still cool enough.

Ambition is an essential part of the workforce.

"Yes,

Hearing Suela's voice chuckling, I feel a little relieved.

"Suela, you free tonight? Do you want to see that movie you said you wanted to see before?

"In Jiro's room?

"Oh.

"Come on!

Not to be a service to her, but after all that had happened, I too was tired and tired of Suela as I watched the testers being carried off on the goblin's stretcher.
