Needs have come to the throne of the Demon King.
That made all of the demons objects of need.
To the Demon Nation, the status of Demon King seems to mean so much.
And this also means that the needs are now free to move the demonic army as well.
"... is this the power of the Demon Army today"
I'm looking down on the demon army from the balcony at Demon King's Castle right now.
This army is a group that the witch has made us gather via need.
It's a massive force of 10,000, and this seems to be more than it used to be when it invaded the Meermill continent.
An army like this will now march on Wolds continent.
This is outrageous.
"Gu..."
I couldn't stop the Demon Army invasion of the Wolds.
All I could do was watch the witch give this and instructions to my needs with her fingers added.
... What am I here for?
I can't stop the army of witches, I can't go against witches, I can't save Crail...
Incompetence is the kind of word you have for me right now.
…………
... but I guess my depressing emotions aren't as good as those of him either.
Turn your gaze towards the inside of the castle.
There was an appearance of a need that was also frayed in the chair in a ragged manner.
"... Chickshaw"
…………
Needs can't resist witches, forming armies reluctantly, to this day.
The mood of this guy, who is even treated as good by witches in the army of his own country, can be detected without asking directly.
I just don't take a self-absorbed attitude to this situation, it's still better.
"... needs. Are you getting a good night's sleep?
Well, I asked my needs about that.
The complexion of the needs looks evil, even considering that they are demonic.
"Oh... well, not to the point of not falling down"
"... right"
…………
…………
Silence flowed between me and my needs.
... Looks pretty good.
Well, I'm not in the kind of situation I can say like any other HR.
"Ugh... were you both here..."
I was thinking that, then.
A witch - Earth - came to us.
"The expedition has been disconnected... and then, with your one voice, you can move at any time... needs"
…………
When he was voiced by Ground, the need turned to an abominable gaze.
"Come on...... from here the world starts to change around me...... do it for me and contend for me...... to such a lovely world...... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......"
Thus, the army of demons, led directly by Needs, began its invasion of the continent of Wolds.
Take me, Earth, and a foreign molecule called Kara.
We left the city for Valhalla, the only land on which the three continents connect.
The capital of the Demonic Nation, 'Le Rail', was apparently also near Valhalla on the Fuvel continent.
Also, the way to get around was letting something like a carriage pull into a big monster or riding a small monster, which was faster than I thought.
But the road is by no means short.
For once, it's easier physically because me and Earth use carriages as a proximity to needs.
But the spirit, it doesn't either.
You have to stay in the same space as people like Earth and Kara for a long time.
…………
I see the ground sitting face to face as the carriage rocks me.
Ground gracefully drinks tea without worrying about my gaze or my carriage shaking.
... When I look at it this way, I wonder if this is what Krall would look like if he were an adult.
Well, it looks like it's actually the right thing to do, but the contents are very different.
How did this happen?
How many times will this be the first time I've thought about it that way?
"... ugh... do you care so much about Krall?
I was just thinking, Ground opened his mouth.
".................. naturally. Just give me back my crail."
"I can't believe you gave it back... Krall is not a thing..."
Is that what you say?
He's like messing with people everywhere.
"Ugh... don't look so scared... let's have fun... because you and I could be going out for a long time..."
"I refuse. Now I'm like this... but soon, I'll be sure to give you some guidance."
Ground just had his usual creepy grin as I glanced at him.
"You seem to care a lot about the crawl...... then let me try to imitate what you think of the crawl next time......"
"... I'll kill you, witch"
"If you can kill me, try to kill me..."
…………
Severe pain runs all over my body.
Still, I kept staring at the earth.
This is the only resistance I can take right now.
I know it's futile.
But if I don't, I can't keep myself.
This pain freshens up the negative emotions I have with the witch.
"Is it possible you're a mazo to move on from yourself and try to hurt me?
Kara, who was sitting a little away from me, said that.
Say anything.
I don't care what you say anymore, I'm not moving.
"Oh... it's noisy out there..."
……
And, at that time, I heard a demon soldier outside the carriage bothering.
I guess it's stopped.
Soon, the wagon shake has healed as well.
Is there something going on outside?
With that in mind, I tried to get out of the carriage.
………… This... "
I went outside and turned my gaze forward... there was a group of people there.
I'm still pretty far away... but I feel like I've seen it and it looks like they're all armed.
And more importantly, I looked familiar to the man in the front row of the group.
"... Kengo"
The man in the front row was Kengo.
Besides, when I gazed closely, there were a lot of people in that group I knew.
Mina, Sakuya, Phil, and people from the Meermill expedition, like Agate and Claude, Mai, and Shirazaki.
People from the Wolves residual group, like Yumi, Ice Room, Setuna and Noah.
Meermill coalition guys like Bang, Mary, Kazane and Misaki.
Adult Earthlings (players) like Qatar, Ceres, Maryan and Hayakawa Sensei.
If you name it, I don't have Kiri.
Earthlings weren't the only ones there.
There are people like Elena and Gardia, the Fire and the Spirit King, and there are spiritual soldiers, dragon soldiers, beast soldiers, human soldiers, and for some reason even king-like guys.
There was only a number of forces there comparable to the army of the demons.
Besides, it's roughly a bunch of guys with top class strength in this world.
... right behind Kengo... could it be the Pope?
I feel older than I used to when I saw you, but maybe I do.
There are also Kisses.
Looks like they got away with it.
I was so glad you were safe because I was worried about what you cared about and how you got away properly.
"Why is there such a crowd of people..."
"No, there are beasts and spirits too..."
"Even the Dragon Nation...? What the hell is going on..."
Demon soldiers are upset.
I can't help it.
We were about to wage war with the greatest power, but there's a lot of power in front of us that could outnumber us.
The Kengos probably focussed their forces on this occasion with a guide to the fireworks.
Based on information from the Kisses, in anticipation of the Demons' imminent attack.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhh... I see... did you..."
Ground came out of the carriage with a thin grin as we were distracted.
I don't feel any rush for earth.
Does that mean you still think you're the dominant one in front of all that fighting power?
"Needs... move the soldiers forward... even if we're staring at each other here, it would be a waste of time...?
"... chip"
Needs responded well to Earthly's instructions and drove the army of the Demons toward the Kengos.
So we and Kengo approached each other's voices to the point where they could reach each other.
"Hey, Demons! I don't want to interrupt the picnic!
Early on, Kengo said that out loud.
I guess it's a joke to be Kengo.
As much as the Demons are on their way to war, you know Kengo.
"... ooh! It's an odd encounter to see you here! It's Mr. Sword King!
Needs took the lead of the demon clan and shouted loudly at Kengo for the loss.
You wouldn't really want to argue.
As the Demon King, don't you make statements that show weakness in front of the Demon Clan?
"I didn't expect to see you here, but I can't help seeing you! You don't even know we're here for a picnic! Even if you get kicked in here, you're not complaining!
Looks like Needs is going to take down the Kengos.
I don't even think Earths will allow me to retreat here, so can I just say that?
"No! Let's have a picnic! Go around here. Right!
If I thought so, Kengo seemed more unwilling to fight.
What the hell is this about?
As easy as the Demons don't retreat, Kengo should know.
".................. na"
As I leaned my neck, a demon clan emerged from a group on Kengo's side.
The moment I saw it, my needs gave me a look of amazement.
That's... no way...
"... I didn't expect to confront you in this way... it's a need"
"Oh, Father, no...?
Demons who showed up before us.
It was Nidork Fjord, the previous demon king.
