Dual Life ~Hiru wa Yuusha Party, Yoru wa Maou Gun~

After training, Mirage and Astalt, who had run out of magic, were busy with paperwork, drinking bitter mana-potions as usual. Beelzebuth has already left the castle in another case, so he works alone in the office. Only the crunch, the sound of running the pen and the sound of the paper rubbing dominate the place.

"Mirage, what was that? For the first time, it's the first time I've seen him hunted down ..."

Astalt opens his mouth unexpectedly while moving his hands. Her desk has documents piled up like a mountain, almost hiding her little body. That would be the last attack Mirage showed during training. A blow that hurried Bethebute, the four kings, is an unlikely event at least compared to the Mirage until yesterday.

"Hmm, I forcibly exploded the magical powers used for the enhancement magic, or made it explode ... I guess it wasn't enough, but I didn't do it in theory, I just thought I could do it. And as you've seen in Astalt, it's meaningless unless you follow it, letting go of a weapon is a suicide act. "

"An explosion ...? Honestly, I don't understand, but ... well, if you say it would be."

Mirage was so savvy that he could be a magician, and he understood Astalt during the past year. Originally, Mirage spent a lot of time in his home, reading a lot of magic-related books, enlisting in the Demon King's army, and immersing himself in the library at Demon King Castle to deepen his knowledge and practice it. Even after arriving in the east, it is not unusual to read books and books owned by Beelzebuth and exchange opinions with Astart. The understanding of nature and each other grew deeper, and Astard would have convinced that the ingenuity of Mirage, the genuine theorist, was a vague expression of magic. After a short conversation, they both continued to do the papers silently, but again Astart opened his mouth.

"By the way, does Mirage want a career?"

Mirage is a bit surprised and thinks about her career, so don't talk to me today.

"No, I don't want this at all. In general, as I usually say, if I can work properly and live a minimum life, that's enough, and I'm always resting as a deputy secretary of the Four Heavenly Kings I'm sorry I'm sorry to work ..... I'm grateful to be able to get into and out of the forbidden library thanks to my greatness. I from."

"Huh. I thought that my consciousness had changed a bit because I was training so seriously, but you really can't really help."

In response to Mirage, who responds with a disgusting heart, Astart sighs deeply as if he is stunned. However, from Mirage, the pile of papers was in the way and he couldn't read his expression, but his expression was stunned but a little smiled. Even if Mirage is going to retire in the first place, it cannot be easily forgiven. As long as you can transfer to various facilities of the Demon King's army with transfer magic, there is no reason that no one will leave Mirage in defense. Despite his retirement, Mirage could have imagined a future where the Devil King Lilith would be in sight, and would be forced to take some trouble.

"That's because I joined the Demon King Army. Where did I really make the mistake? I wasn't interested in getting a job, and I didn't want to work at all. I still don't understand what it means.

Mirage takes the decisive attitude of those who have a strong desire for career, but only Astalt is here. Mirage also knew that Astart was aiming to take over from his father to be the chief of the Silver Horned demons, and to be the four kings. The reason is not simply a desire for success, but because he grew up looking at his father's back from an early age and has been chasing after him.

"Well, until now, I wasn't alone enough ... but it's probably because the Demon King and Dad had something to do. By the way, if it's a story, What if you say you're the next officer, and you're going to be your deputy at that time? "

If it did, however, the success of Beelzebuth would have been undoubtedly a real child, Astarto, a very real question. Astalt, who has been attached to his father since he was a child and is loved by older soldiers as much as his daughter. However, the current position of deputy secretary is by no means the parent's seven lights, and it is clear to everyone that he has gained his skills. Many people living in the eastern land hope that the next four kings will be the Astart, which has the trust of other demons under Belzebute, as well as the demons of the same silver horn. It also saw Mirage traveling around various lands on inspections and missions, and was convinced that would be in the not-too-distant future. It is not an exaggeration to say that the popularity of asart is particularly great among the residents of the castle town, and it is liked by both young and old. At first glance, there is a cold impression that does not show much emotion, but it is well understood that over the years, Astalto's straightforwardness and his dedicated effort.

"Well, as I said, I don't like work. By the time you became Shitenno, you might not already be in the Demon King Army. Well, assuming you were still enrolled, It may not be worse to work under you than to go to the place. ''

"That's right ... If it happens, I can't do what you want, but I'll arrange for a vacation."

"It's a pretty fascinating story. If you do, you're going to swear allegiance to Astalt instead of the Demon King."

"But don't say stupid things! Well ... that ... your rotten roots can't be helped anymore, but I'm just admitting their ability. It's better to be aware of you than to get down. ''

The four heavenly kings, Beelzebuth, are still active, and the final decision, as Astard wishes, lies with the Demon King, Lilith. After all, it's just a bit of a distraction at work, but Mirage felt cute about a little girl buried in papers next door. A younger colleague who is young enough that even recruits of the Demon King's army are not strange in terms of age. Born under a great father, there have been many times that have been crushed by the expectations of others. Some things aren't straightforward, but they're still growing up straight. It is not surprising that the mischievousness of Mirage develops against such an astalt.

"Then, I'll ask you someday, Tart-chan."

"Well, what, ...!"

Nicknamed as a tart by Astart's parents and elders who have been acquainted since childhood, Mirage has never called it by his name. The only voice that has been upset has been transmitted to Mirage enough, and the sound of the pen running, which had been heard until recently, has stopped. In the first place, Astalt often spent training after childhood, and the friendship of the same generation was extremely small. Most of the young people who are enrolled in the Demon King Army are recruits and low-ranking people, except for a few, and there should be someone who is a daughter of the four heavenly kings and can nickname him as a deputy assistant Astalt Nor. Especially when it comes to the opposite sex, it will be overkilled. In other words, Astarto is not used to being called like this by young people of the opposite sex. Mirage's remark is an instantaneous effect, and the white skin of Astalt turns red as he sees it.

"Well, my name is Astalt, not Tart. Please stop calling that name!"

"I guess it's a good nickname because it's cute and easy to get close to."

"Well, it's forbidden for Mirage to say that, anyway! The next time you say the same word, you'll bend its head!"

Astalt stands up violently and violently, but there are piles of papers around her. I don't know if my hands or arms collided or if the desk itself was impacted, but the pile of documents was about to collapse.

"Oops. You have to look around properly.

However, the Mirage moves quickly to keep the documents out of balance and calls attention to Astart. And up until now, they were in a position where they could not see each other's faces, but now Mirage and Astalt are facing each other with their eyes and nose. Can a novice girl who is upset just by being called his nickname keep his normal mind while staring closely at the man who created the cause?

"Oh, uh, I'm sorry!"

Astalt's choice is fleeing, and he jumps out of his office with his ears dyed red. Mirage, who was left alone, looked back on Astalt's back without saying anything, regretfully wondering if she was a little teasing. Later, after receiving a statement that Astart had left early due to ill health, Mirage was forced to work on a huge number of documents alone. The misfortunes continued, and Astalt jumped out of his office with his face turned red and running through the castle was witnessed by many soldiers, and of course, heard in Beelzebuth's ears. Needless to say, waiting for the exhausted Mirage after all the work had been done was an interrogation called a story from his father who doted on his daughter. As an aside, for the next three days, Asarto does not speak and Mirage is in a good mood. Thus, despite some turmoil, his life as an aide to Mirage continued.
