Corporate Slave Hero Says He’s Quitting His Job

Not good.

If we're going to fight here, I'm definitely not going to win.

Sometimes it will shelter the village, but it has sold off the holy sword that pays off the demons in the first place.

I can't take advantage of the Demon King without that.

What a dumb story.

But I didn't think you'd be reunited with the Demon King in this place, so it's got to be something you can't help.

At least get away from here...

"Ooh! I thought you had visitors! Have you taken good care of it? Adele."

"D, Dean!?"

A stone's throw in this situation was Dean, who came back collecting tons of herbs in the cage he carried.

I hastily put up a sword and decided to fix this place for now.

"Ah, oh. I was just about to talk to you."

"Right or right. I'll get the herbs home, I'll handle it."

"... ok"

Dean goes straight into the village and goes toward his own house.

Shit, I asked for help.

I often stare at the Demon King and sigh.

... Well, is it less harmful for me to deal with it than to leave it to others?

"Just follow me. What are you talking about?"

"Oh......"

I take Isbell, the Demon King, back to the warehouse.

This was also the gatekeeper's lounge, with desks and chairs available.

Let him sit in one of the two chairs, and I'll sit face to face.

"So, Isbell the Demon King. What are you up to?

"... I didn't plan it. I just want to stop being such a demon king and live a mediocre life."

"A mediocre life..."

When I spoke to Isbell, the Demon King, in detail, I found out that he had been placed in similar treatment to me.

He said that he had been determined to be a demon king since his birth and that he continued to be fought against the human country.

He had always dreamed of a free life in his tied up life.

And then, by accident, I heard that there was a village that would welcome people who wanted to hide, and let's come to this village.

"It's your fault."

"What?"

What do you suddenly say, this woman?

"Because you declared in front of me that you would stop being brave, etc., and disappeared! I couldn't help but envy that freedom and couldn't stand it... even though I was desperately suppressing my feelings until then!

The demon king says roughing up his voice.

I was taken aback for a moment and lost my word.

"Well... would that have been an operation too? Because this is how I anticipated and waited for the place to escape."

"... I'm sorry I made you expect this, but it's a total coincidence that I was here. I knew about this village, which was a good place to hide. On the contrary, the evidence suggests that you followed me."

"- Yeah, really?

"Really."

The Demon King looks at me with his eyes round.

"Oh well... then! Don't you want to attack me anymore!?"

"Huh..."

It is an unpleasant question.

The Demon King is the enemy of man.

If we end up here, the long ongoing war will also calm down.

Put your life at risk, but you should end it.

But that's what I've been talking about.

I have no obligation to fight the demon king for abandoning the brave man with responsibility and for abandoning man.

Besides, this village accepts demons, subhumans and humans alike.

I have no right to discriminate.

"- Oh, I won't attack you. Unless you harm me or the village."

"... good"

Demon King - No, it's just Isbell, she lost her physical strength in a way that reassured her heart.

He seemed rather distracted.

From this moment on, the air around you lightens up one step at a time.

I don't know what I'm talking about, but I guess they were always after my life in the position of Demon King.

If today is the first time I've found out about a space free of hostility, I'm also convinced of this weakness.

"For one thing, it's forbidden in this village to be a brave man or a demon king. I'm hiding my identity, too."

"Oh, wow, okay!

You've become great honest.

No, maybe the original girlfriend is this vegan.

Me and my age shouldn't be much different.

"So, if you're going to hide, 500 gold coins for the land. A thousand extra if you want to build a house there. A thousand and five hundred in total, but do you have them?

"To?"

- I have a bad feeling.

"A thousand and five hundred gold coins, can you pay?

"... None"

"Hmm?"

"can't pay..."

I almost slipped out of my chair.

I didn't think so, but I didn't know...

"I knew you needed money! But I didn't think I needed it so badly - hey, this is all I have right now."

You realised the vegetables were out on the way, and you got embarrassed and fixed it.

What Isbell has put out on his desk is an inflated leather bag.

I don't care how you look at it, it doesn't contain 500 pieces of gold.

Is it in there, like, 300 sheets?

"Three hundred gold coins are ready..."

"Is that still the case? But wouldn't the Demon King have prepared more?

"Sometimes I came out in a hurry, but I didn't have much of my own wealth either. I had no choice but to sell off my armor and turn it into gold."

"So three hundred? Hmmm...... what's up"

You didn't ask me what to do in this case.

I feel different about driving him back, and then maybe we should let him stay in the village for once.

That's how someone knocked on the warehouse door when I was worried.

"Hey, Dean, are you okay to come in?

"Oh, go ahead"

It was Dean who opened the door and came inside to deliver the herb earlier.

Dean sees Isbell's depressed face and ears at me.

"Hey, what's wrong with this girl?"

"I didn't have enough money. I can't even buy land because I only have 300 gold coins"

"I see. So you were wondering what to do."

"That's what's going to happen...... how are we going to solve this in this case?

"I see."

Dean leaves once and compares me to Isbell.

And I nodded like I was convinced of something.

"Well, you're fine. The one who comes to this village and has no money is to live in a rookie's house for the first time."

"- What?"

"It's Adele's house in this case. I'll have them work until they can pay the stopping fee and the land bill."

"Holy crap..."

I didn't hear there was such a system.

But some of me can be convinced.

Had it been easy to chase back, the existence here would have gone public.

People who couldn't afford to pay for it were also drawn into the village, fewer people going outside.

"Or is there a way to make money!?"

"Unique. This village is the village chief's tste, a little far to say the neighborhood, but it interacts with several cities and villages. The guys who need money are going to sell the crops they grew up with, or the ones who have themselves in their arms are making change in the Adventurer's Guild. I haven't heard anything like that in the last few years because I haven't had a problem with money."

Is that what you do too?

But is it okay to go to an adventurer guild or something?

Like the guild card I had, you have to give me personal information to work in an Adventurer's guild.

Identity, etc. will also spread, and I thought it was forbidden in this end-of-the-life village where secrets are strictly observed.

"The mayor of the village is connected to the Alliance Master, and you can fake your identity. Naturally, they don't turn big jobs around. The lady looks like a demon from what I've seen, and she can do some (...) right? If you can hide the horns, you can be an adventurer."

"Me, adventurer..."

This guy's eyes... don't worry about the adventurer a bit.

Sure, adventurers can be dangerous but they also have a lot of fun.

When you go to a labyrinth or untapped land, your heart jumps, and sometimes you get gold and silver treasures and instantly become a billionaire.

Not to mention from Isbell, who doesn't even seem to get out of Demon King's Castle, it must be an attractive profession.

Well, it's not much to do with me, and if you're going to be an adventurer, you can take it personally.

"If you're into adventurers, take them, Adele. You're a former adventurer, aren't you?

"Huh."

"It's a rookie's job to take care of a cohabitant, isn't it?

When Dean said yes, Isbell lowered her head to me with a pepper.

"Nice to meet you"

……

I escaped reality and the diagram of the Demon King bowing his head toward the brave is a little funny - what a dumb thing to think.

I have no choice.

To live without waves in this village.

Let's help Isbell.

But naturally, you have to ask me if I'm selfish.

"Okay. Adventurer know-how teaches...... but not right now. I'm gonna have you hanging out with my job for a while."

"Ugh, um... hey, what do I do?

I took the farm tools that were in the warehouse and gave them to Isbell.

It's a field job.

Probably the first time.

I can't believe you're forcing a demon king to do field work.
