Corporate Slave Hero Says He’s Quitting His Job

"If you move from this time on, no matter how many demonic continental monsters you have, you're not that active. Shall we go?"

"Oh. And clothes. - Okay, they're dry."

When I get up, I pick up the clothes I left near the fire and put them on.

It has some gouache, but if I can wear it, it's fine.

"Are we going for the harbor like this?

"Yes. First we go to the harbor and from there we go to the Castle of the Demon King. It will be somewhat far-flung, but everything is instructed by Master Isbell and Master Phantom, so forgive me."

"... ok"

Anyway, if you're just a merchant or something, it's obvious that we'd be quicker off going straight to Demon King's Castle.

But I guess there's some circumstance that you're choosing a route that won't let you do it.

Especially this time, it's the Demons' problem.

I'm only a collaborator, and now it would be easier to follow the Devil's side.

"And it's not a good idea for you to leave, being human in public, so basically keep this around you"

Irela takes out a slightly larger robe and hands it to me.

With a hood, if you wear it deep, it's going to be hard to tell who you are, etc.

"If we can get to the Imperial Castle, I think Master Phantom will do the illusion magic that looks like the Demon Clan... but until then, be patient"

"Helpful. Isbell could have used the magic of humanization, but I don't remember."

If it's a matter of appearance only, such as the difference between people and demons, there may only be horns.

So if you're a Demon, you look like a human if the horns hide, and if you're a human, you look like a Demon if you just grow horns.

That's just unexpectedly hard.

It manifests itself prominently, especially when humans turn into demonic tribes.

Even if humans put horns on their heads, they'll soon find out it's a fake.

Says he also feels signs of that demon clan from the corner.

If we want to impersonate the Demons completely, we have to change the structure of the human body to produce horns.

If it is Phantom, it is merely said that even the signs can be deluded.

"Let's go. The port is here."

◆

We arrived at the port about three hours walk away.

Just like the human continent, the Devil's Harbor is quite busy.

The crowd is fierce, and if the hood gets off here, it'll be a big deal -.

"Would you mind sticking with my shopping a little bit here?

"Shopping?"

"Yeah, because someone broke my sword."

As such, Irela has pulled a little sword out of her sheath to show her a sword with no ahead of her from the roots.

Seeing that sword, I accidentally get stuck in words.

After all, this is the sword I broke when I fought Irela near the village.

"... bad"

"No, that's what my immaturity invited. I'm not going to blame you. Yeah."

"You're definitely blaming me, that"

"Anyway, I need a new sword soon enough. You can hang out with me, right?"

"... ok"

I feel like I won't let you say whether or not this is happening... I can't resist it for some reason.

It's more tyrannical than Isbell, who's supposed to be the Demon King.

"There is my commonly used blacksmith nearby. Let's go there."

"What, a Demon King's Army holding blacksmith or something?

"Yes. I just like it and use it myself. Because I want to stick to the sword quite a bit."

"You know what?"

A good swordsman doesn't compromise on his own partner either.

The famous swordsmen we met on our journey were like that.

Irela also exists on me if I am a 'swordsman'.

I guess I haven't even thought about compromising for that matter.

"Do you have anything in mind?

"Hmmm...... I wonder if there's anything else. I have this guy."

Hit the Xdark pattern with the trick.

Then he said, 'Huh!' I heard Xdark's upbeat voice.

I took care of him yesterday, and he got me in a pretty good mood.

"- I was wondering, that sword is pretty classy, isn't it? How the hell did you get it?

"Oh, you don't know, about this sword"

I thought all the Demons knew about Xdark, but they didn't.

- Oh, no. You didn't even notice Isbell until you heard his name.

It's pretty hard to explain what to do.

"... I found it in a dungeon of high difficulty. I picked it up there, but I haven't met a better sword than this one."

'Hey, Lord. You gave up my explanation, didn't you? Ah! Wait, don't grip so hard! Okay!' Cause I'm gonna shut up!

Holding onto the pattern and silencing it because Xdark has been making tea.

It's not like I need to tell you that I'm an X-Dark right now, and sooner or later I'll explain it to you when they realize it.

'Say that! You just stink!

Whoa, don't piss off the Lord too much.

There can't be any trouble stinking about a love sword.

"? Anyway, I see what's going on. So, for one thing, stay with my shopping. If you come up with something you need along the way, just drop by."

"Oh, okay"

Walk through the harbour town in a way that can be taken by Irela.

From what I saw, there were also items stores for adventurers from restaurants, armor stores, books and other entertainment items, and jewelry stores.

Sure, with this, we'll be able to collect all the basics.

"I got it. This is the blacksmith I always use."

"... heh"

The blacksmith who arrived that way was a one-story stone shop.

From inside, a constant metal noise can be seen striking the iron and making exactly the weapon.

"The owner is a tough guy, but his arm is definite."

"Well... you can be as committed to people like that."

Don't be distracted by other things, even take the path you should be aiming for.

As a result, people think it's hard to stick around because they can't help it.

"I hope you have a sword that suits me this time too -"

Irela opens the store door and goes inside.

When I went inside in the form that followed it, I felt a unique iron odor and heat.

The store is lined with narrow weapons, which gives the impression of being a little narrow.

As far as swords and the like are appropriately stuck in the tar or the mace for blows is standing on the wall, they don't seem to be very constrained by the interior.

Just still...

"... surprised. It's all good, even though it's all messed up."

"Do you understand? Yeah, I was surprised when I first visited, too. Everything here is more than the Three Stars."

"Three stars...?

"Don't you know that? It's about the quality of the blacksmiths' swords. With each increase in the number of five-stars and stars from one star to another, the quality increases significantly. Basically, you treat one or two stars as low-level, three or four stars as advanced, and five stars as superior."

"I mean, everything here is advanced..."

"Yes, at least you won't be able to buy more than fifty gold coins"

That's a hell of a store.

Fifty gold coins, and so on, can't be paid for by low-ranking adventurers.

At this point, half the customers say no?

"Store owner, I'd like to buy a weapon"

Irela calls out to the back of the store.

Then the ringing metal noise stopped and a loud man appeared snuggly from the back of the store.

"What... a customer?
