I Become a Staff Officer in the Demon Army, but I Can Only Do Office Work!

My face was drawn to the bad cospa on the Masre. What, that, this, what? Is this a fantasy version of the flying state budget?

Leona hastily explains that I was too confused because of what happened to my face.

"Yes, it's okay! Because it's a unique refining method that only Dwarves and other things can use to create a misrill from an ore called Isildin!

I see, is it like aluminum?

… is it aluminum that was considered worth more than diamonds in the Middle Ages?

"Leona, the Masre is off the hook."

"Why!? You're so strong!

"I almost punched you if you were weak with so much rare metal."

It should be rational and strong.

I didn't expect to move large quantities of high-value metals and demonic statues made of metal that are constrained by purification, and also of Calzette demonic stones that are difficult to produce.

"Look, Leona. We're developing weapons that can be used anytime, anywhere, anybody, and it doesn't make sense if we can't get them all together. How do you expect me to run one of these things?

Like this battleship, you can't just float in the harbor because you don't have it.

"So, but at the dawn of mass production...!

"All right, let's give up a hundred steps and let's say this is done. Leona, how much does it cost to have enough equipment to produce a big demon statue like this idiot? And how long will it take?

"....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I haven't calculated the money yet..."

"So what's the production period? Per capita"

Such a big thing, something that even humans in the 21st century seem to have difficulty making.

I don't think there's a reason I can do this on a monthly basis.

"… years"

"What?

"…………… three years"

…………

…………

"Leona."

"Yes."

"Discontinued"

After a long silence,

"........................ no"

The answer came back. A little tear-eyed.

"You can't say it in tears"

".................. uhh, please. Because this is my dream!

"I wish I could war in my dreams"

"... no?

"You can't even say you're cute with your boss"

I almost fell for it, but I can't do anything that doesn't work.

"Then... I will not develop an example transport machine. We don't help reduce demon statues, we don't help reduce demon stones, we don't build new demon statues!

"A child!

Elementary school students skipping summer homework or something!?

"Then I'll let another guy develop it."

"... another guy, are you there?

"You're here."

Probably.

If you think so, a voice denies it from the side.

"No, probably not."

"... Huh?

That is what His Majesty replied as he put his arms together and sighed.

"The weapon itself called the Demon Statue is her invention. And no one but her has been able to develop the statue."

".................. eh"

Was Leona that awesome...

But don't bother with this. It also means saying that the stations and the Bureau of Development will no longer be reciprocal. Not if this kind of thing is monopolized. I have trouble without moderate competition.

"Leona, are you going to bring that up every time you don't feel up to it?

"I'm not that much of a child..."

It's not convincing to be told that while you're unfaithful......

"That said, that masre costs too much money. The enemy won't wait for me."

"If you allow me to continue your development, I won't complain anymore! Because I listen to everything you say!

"Hmm?"

You said you'd do anything now, right?

"Hey Akira, you look bad"

"No, Your Majesty, that's not true."

I forgot I have a mind reader. I need to make sure I don't think weird.

"... would you never go on about 'developing demonic statues' again?

"I won't! If you can make it!

"Never?

"Never!

"Can you swear to God?

"I swear to Your Majesty because I don't believe in God!

"Hmm. So, Your Majesty."

"Don't worry, I heard it right. Leona, keep your promise, okay?

"It's okay!

All right. Swearing to Your Majesty is a word I can trust in the Demon King's Army. I can trust you more than I can swear to God for now or a lifetime favor.

"I have no choice. Then you can continue to develop something magical. Except you didn't say it was okay to spend the money like hot water, did you? Just like you do within your budget."

That's what I've been doing anyway. Let's admit it without fail with a guy called vested privilege.

Plus, if you can make something good just by acknowledging the continued development of a giant robot, you can split it it as a necessary expense.

I can do it.

Do it, you son of a bitch.

Though it is the reality that I am commanding myself.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks! Akira, keep your promise too!

"Ah. I swear to His Majesty the Demon King, I will keep my word."

When I swore so, Leona smiled like she'd never seen before.

Oh, man, who got the most out of this one?

"Well fine. In the meantime, the future direction of research and development of the new demonic statue could be found. Withdraw?"

"Rikai. Then I'll use the statue of the devil to make him clean up and carry things!

"No, if you use Your Majesty's storage magic, in one shot..."

I can, I was just about to say, I think.

Can't a demon statue be a transport machine?

No, because there is a precedent called Earth, I thought it was a railroad car, but this demon king's army already has a demon statue.

"Leona. I'm sorry about every once in a while, why don't you use the demon statue for transportation?

It should be a statue car, not a carriage.

Whatever it is, it's not a carriage railroad that lays down tracks to power demonic statues. It's a demonic statue railroad.

"... transport, for?

"Hey, wait a minute. Faces like that 'I didn't think of that'"

"Because demon statues are made for combat. It's not easy to convert because the capabilities required for combat are different from those required for transport, and it's a little bit to reduce the production of combat demon statues that support the front lines to create demon statues for transport, right?

"Well, I know what you're trying to say"

But which way, the front line is not out of support.

Besides, none of the combat demon statues were helpless before the weapons of the human army.

"Besides, transport is left to the carriages and the humans. But there's no substitute for a fighter statue."

"I see.... but I'm also certain that the benefits not found in the carriage are in the transport demon statue"

Water and horse grass must also be given to the horse pulling the carriage, and naturally a moderate rest must be given in view of the fatigue of the horse and of the man. That's the same with the Humans. This is more than life.

But unless you're talking about a demon statue that's not life.

I don't get tired and I can handle it by self-driving, and the energy sources don't have to carry extra heavy objects like horse grass, water and food together with demon stones.

For that matter, you'll have to procure parts and tools for repairing the statue, but the statue is more horsepower than the horse and unlike the bait, it's not always necessary.

"Of course, I know it's impossible to convert a fight-specific demon statue into transport as it is. So, Leona, I'm officially requesting you as a barracks station. Develop a portrait specializing in transportation."

"Transport statues……. I've never done this before, so it might take a while."

"I hope so. If you succeed... you can increase the Masre development budget."

"Do it!"

Yeah, kind of.

Thus, two of the soldier station problems held by the Demon King Army could see signs of resolution.

One is the reduction of demonic statues that exist in a wide variety of ways.

Another is the establishment of highly efficient means of transport of goods.

The Masre is, well, I guess I should think of it as a necessary expense.

In the meantime, I mean a step forward.
