Episode 2: Hail Cole

"It's Henri. I need to ask you one thing, okay?

"Yes! Tell me what it is!

"I want all the remaining demons gathered in this hall."

"... all the champions, is it?

Henri said with a strange face.

"Oh. I have something to tell you all from the rest"

"... ok. But just in case, can I leave a few demons on the lookout outside the castle?

"Oh, I don't mind"

About thirty minutes later. The demons at King's Castle assembled in this great hall and knelt down against me.

... a lot.

Wouldn't there be at least 10,000? Inside there are even those who cannot enter the hall and are kneeling outside the door. Once I walked around the castle lightly, I saw demons everywhere, so I was wondering how many demons there were in this castle, but I didn't know the champion army was this big.

Well, that's good. Anyway, I have to do what I have to do.

"All of you, raise your faces. I have a serious report for everyone today."

The devils pay attention to me all at once. I'm going to butt in unexpectedly because I wasn't good at talking in front of a lot of people back in my previous life, but that doesn't work. I stood up bravely.

"Today the champion army shall be disbanded."

Silence comes in the hall for a moment. Freeing these demons, that's my first duty as king.

"Yu, Dear Yout!? Are you serious about that!?"

Henri, who was on her knees in the front, said in an upset voice.

"I mean it. From today on, you are free. You can each live your life the way you want."

No, because I'm not a person. Is life weird? But this will do, and the demons will be glad. Soon the demons will begin to sawdust.

"Why did Yout suddenly do this...!?"

"We have done something to disturb Mr. Ute……!?"

"Ha! What if Yout is testing our loyalty!?"

"Yes, I'm sure you are!

No, what are you reading in depth!? Take it in the same way!

"Well, still I will stay in the castle!!"

"Me too!! Serving Yout is the supreme joy!!"

"Me too!!"

Demons rising one after the other. What the hell is this air? This is not how I wanted it to go. And finally all the demons rose up.

"It's a rearrangement of the champion army. Awwwwww!!"

"Long live Yout!! Long live Yout!!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

A cheer arose from the demons. It seems that the intention to give you freedom has become rather counterproductive. How loyal are you, these guys?

"I sincerely apologize for the earlier loss of serenity due to my inability to absorb the sincerity of Master Ute. But as you can see, the demons here make it their greatest happiness to do what they do for you. Including me, of course."

Deeply bowing head Henri. Something made me decide on my own.

"So please be the one who will continue to reign at the summit of the devils. We really want that, too."

"... right"

I gave up and said so. [M] Maybe whatever you say, "Long live Lord Ute!" I feel like it's going to flow.

"Dear Yout, I would like to report to you!

When I looked at you because I heard a voice coming from outside the window, there was a whole demon there feathering his wings. Perhaps the devil who was keeping an eye on the outside of the castle came this far directly.

"You!! It would be disrespectful to speak to Yout from such a place! Harm yourself as punishment!

"Good Henri. Is this an urgent report?

This big hall is pretty high up in the castle, and it usually takes a while to get here from the outside.

"Yes! Tons of troops are pushing from the southwestern direction towards this champion castle! That number is estimated at 50,000!

"Army......?

I lift my hips from the throne and walk near the window. Then I did see the humans on horseback heading this way as they rolled up the dirt smoke.

"Henri, can you see me, too?

"Yes, apparently you are a man - an army of pests"

Now it's wrong to say it again.

"The goal will be to take over Master Ute, the champion. What a fool...!!"

Henri crooks her expression and squeezes her teeth tightly. Shit, mecha. Afraid. Then Henri turned to the demons.

"I command you all!! Now our king's army will destroy all those pests without leaving any bones!! I will remind you how reckless it is to poke at us!!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"

Ho, wiped out without leaving any bones!? STOP!!

"Wait, it's Henri. Are you going to kill all those troops?

"Let's be natural. It's true that the numbers are favourable to both pests, but with the help of the king's army, it's easier than twisting the baby's hand."

"No, that's not what I want to say..."

"Rest assured, Master Ute. Just spraying pest spray."

Henri's mouth angle creeps up. You never know, do you, this girl? Even if the aim is my life, I can't shut up and overlook the slaughter of 50,000 people as ex-humans.

"Then let's go!! We must meet your expectations!!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"

No, I'm not expecting anyone! I have to do something!

"Quiet!!"

As soon as I shouted out loud, the voice of the demons' decision stopped perfectly.

"Everybody stay put. Leave this place to me."

A twitch occurs from among the demons.

"Youto himself!? But even if Youto doesn't bother you, we...!!"

"What, I've been wanting to use my powers for a long time. Henri and the others are watching."

"Oh, my goodness!

I looked out the window again. [M] The distance from here to the army is still a few kilometers. But I wouldn't be a problem at this distance right now. It's the first time I've used a spell since I was reincarnated into a king, so don't be a little nervous.

But naturally, I have no intention of hurting that army. I'm looking for a clean champion who won't kill one of the bugs. He'd run away surprised if he even had an explosion a little near the army. Then I pointed my fingertips towards the army. [M]

"Spells [Disaster Rays (Disaster Cannon)]!

While I thought it was a medium spell, I emitted a thin purple beam from the tip of my finger by [disaster rays]. This isn't even giving us a percent of our original power, and the kind of thing that involves that army...

Do-o-o-o-o-o-o-on!!

"... Huh?

I was stunned. Because there was such an awesome big explosion that I thought even a nuclear bomb might have been dropped. The blast reaches the castle, and the demons raise their voices of surprise. If you noticed, the land in the southwest had turned into a burning field, and that army appeared nowhere.

I couldn't get an open mouth blocked for a while. No way, not so much......

"We would like to report you! We have now confirmed the total annihilation of 50,000 troops! Not one soldier left!

"... um, thank you"

I said with my head in my arms. Instead of one of the bugs, I killed 50,000 people... Then Henri walked up to me with a tranced look.

"It is a boulder, a business that is exactly like burning and disposing of garbage. I called both humans pests, but the King no longer even recognized them as creatures. This Henri, I'm just impressed."

"... hehe, haha! I bet you are!

I laughed. I no longer had to reopen it.

"That was awesome, Master Ute..."

"Obviously they didn't mean it, but what is that power..."

"The boulders are the ones who stand at our top!

"If you are Master Ute, conquest of the world is not a dream either!

"Long live Lord Ute! Long live Lord Ute! Long live Lord Ute!

I took a deep sigh in the gushing hail call.
