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

Instead, there was a country called England.

I still do, but if you care, you lose.

At one point England tried to visit a country called Germany across the ocean.

But I didn't get along with Germany, so I said "build a wall in the Atlantic" and refused.

England really wants to play with Germany, so that's troublesome. I don't know what to do.

And I figured it out.

"Yes, let me make you a new toy for Germany!

And UK-kun thought hard to create a new toy.

That's a toy called "Panjandrum".

There's no way it's fixed because it's a construct, but it means "great" or "festive".

England kun played Panjandrum rolling on the coast.

Big wheels rolling down the beach with flames as they roll in the rocket are interesting just to watch.

It was so funny, England stopped giving this toy to Germany.

Plus the "wall" that Deutsche said was no big deal, so she usually opened the back door and went into the house.

England then played and fought in the market (market) and garden (garden) with Deutsche Kun, and now we're totally friends.

UK-kun said he became close enough to keep chickens on the west side of Deutsche Kun's house until recently.

And Panjandrum, as a toy, is still familiar to everyone.

Shit.

---

It is a "monster" born to break through a strong defensive position.

Self-propelled off the coast into position and self-destruct. Too strange looking and surreal footage helped build the abs of people all over the world.

Oh, I see.

Does the idea end up going to the same place?

If you put a bomb on a self-propelled bobbin and let it blow itself up, the position will be shattered.

Enemy soldiers who have already seen its intense appearance will be surprised. Ha-ha-ha.

Somebody help me.

Great Panjandrum resurrected to the fantasy world.

When I saw it, I didn't know if I should laugh or scream, and I answered "Panjandrum" to Yurier's request for a "nickname".

"Panjandrum? Never heard of it, but was it where the director was?

"Yes. Oh, no, I'm sorry. It's a lie. It wasn't the name of the plant. I'll reconsider."

"Come on, hold on!

I'm sorry. The SAN values are shattered.

Let's not say the name is Panjandrum. Something in my heart sounds shattering.

Besides, it looks like a panjandrum right now, but it's a little different.

I don't spin wheels in rockets first. Before that, there is no substitute for rockets in the Demon King's Army.

It also looks a little like a Kugelpanzer.

So it looks like a big wheel.

Reordered, I named the weapon "Tatibana" again. Needless to say, it is the name of a flower that was found in Japan.

Unfortunately, Mr. Yayoi did not know a flower called "Tatibana".

But obviously it's a Japanese-style name, so I smiled a little bit.

She looks cute explaining it vividly with a look that keeps that smile.

"This demonic statue uses the energy of demonic stones to spin. And how to keep the enemy in and let the demon stone overload at any time and blow itself up"

But no matter how many times I hear it, it's panjandrums......

Sounds good when it comes to unmanned special attack weapons, but I'm just panjandrumming with all my might, and I still wonder if the drawbacks are the same as panjandrums.

Well, that's what you'll find out in the performance evaluation exam you're about to start.

So, let's conclude.

"... surprisingly high performance"

The moment it leaked like that, Mr. Yayoi snorted "Fusu".

Panjandrum, Kugel, Panzer, Rolling Bomb, Tire Bomb, Goliath, I've imagined a lot, but if you open the lid, it'll perform well.

The first is that it is disposable.

Disposable seems seemingly inefficient.

But in the case of "Tatibana," it is disposable that makes it more efficient.

Yayoi said,

"If it is reusable, maintenance is laborious. Management is also laborious. But if you separate it from disposables, you can do less parts, and you don't have to think much about maintenance."

That is.

On Earth, the idea is close to the Soviet spacecraft Soyuz.

Simple structure, disposable.

The cost of maintenance and operation was high because the space shuttle was used repeatedly. Soyuz doesn't have it.

Furthermore, "Tatibana" is excellent in maintenance, and because of its simple structure, it withstands good productivity and cluttered management.

The power source is pure red demon stone, and mechanics and convoys are used to its treatment.

The maximum speed exceeds the demon statue.

Tatibana is an unmanned weapon, like a demonic statue, a weapon that moves autonomously, although not to the extent of a demonic statue.

Besides, it can be remotely manipulated and is not a weapon that ravages any enemy ally.

Compact and light compared to demonic statues.

The operability is good because it just rolls. If it's troublesome, you can autopilot it.

Since the suicide bombing system is operated by safety devices, the risk of outbursts is low.

More importantly, it is because it is not rocket propulsion, so all sorts of reassurances are exhausted.

I don't know what to do, I have to score higher at the barracks station.

However, none of the defense performance.

Because there is speed and it is smaller than the demon statue, it is the type to cite viability while shouting, "I have nothing to say if I don't hit it".

Even when I looked at the face of the battle forces, I was worried a lot.

After enough, the score calculation ends.

"Presentation of results - - -!!"

Mr. Yurier was well and shouted at Mike in a voice that seemed to go through enough to get rid of the crow who came to fish for the trash.

Ugh......

"No, Mr. Director. Didn't we compete unexpectedly? I was surprised at the Misaka Design Bureau."

"I'm surprised too."

Because it's a panjandrum.

"How's Mr. Sophia?

"I want to go home soon because I have a lot of accumulated work"

I was a little scared of Mr. Sophia's face speaking out like that.

I'm not saying worker holic. I wonder why she wants to work so far.

You freaked out by Mr. Sophia like that, Mr. Yurier just received a results table from her and opens his mouth with it when he hears a drumming noise from somewhere.

"Cohon. - Well, I'll announce the score!

Everyone in the audience swallowed a spit.

Waiting to get a thousand bucks or lose everything.

"The red corner," Alstromeria, "a demonic statue prototyped by Leona Calzetto, chief magic research technician at the Demon King's Army Development Authority, scored - 88 points!

"Ooh..."

"That's a high score..."

"It's over. Ohhhhhhhhhh!!"

From the audience rose one voice after another, convinced of admiration and victory, and ecstatic at the hunch of his own ruin.

The score is naturally 100 out of 100, and 88 is outrageously high.

"Erm, the breakdown is 68 out of 70 for combat troops. 20 out of 30 for the station bureau - isn't that a little harsh, Mr. Director?

"You have no choice. I couldn't wipe my anxiety off the barracks."

"Hmm. Well, no. Next, Blue Corner, then! The score of" Tatibana ", a new weapon designed by Yayoi Misaka, chief engineer of the Misaka Design Bureau, is -"

And drum roll again.

The audience sipping and watching, Yurier opening the results table to match the sound of the drums, Sophia in the sky above asking if you could finish it quickly, and Eli and Riina calculating the sales.

Everyone waited for that score. Naturally, so am I.

The drum roll sounds loud and Mr. Yurier opens the paper at once.

The score there was -,

"- Result, 88 points!!... What?

"" "Yes?

Everyone on the spot reacted the same way.

88 o'clock?

Fitting in? The same point?

"Mr. Yurier, is that really the design bureau?

"That's right! Look at this. Doesn't it say 88 points for the Bureau of Development and 88 points for the Bureau of Design!?"

"Oh, that's true. Um, 59 out of 70 battle squads. Soldier Station Troops scored 29 out of 30... that's definitely the score I put on."

"Aren't you overrated!?"

"It was a weapon with no complaints, statistically."

When I said that, the audience started bothering.

Hey, what happens to betting in this case?

I thought the same thing, so I looked at Eli, and she was sweating like a waterfall.

I know this. You're the president on the verge of bankruptcy, right?

"............... All right, all judges assemble. Commencement of negotiations"

Of course, the members of the barracks station will gather the men of the combat unit, Leona and Mr. Misaka for consultation.

"Confirm one thing before we discuss it. Mr. Eli, what happens to the hanging if it was a draw?

"…… for once, it will all be reimbursed"

"I mean, no money"

When I heard that, she nodded powerlessly.

As we all know, gambling and casinos are always profitable.

But there is one exception.

That's "when gambling didn't come true".

In this case, it's a "draw".

Payment is reimbursed to everyone. No money naturally. On the contrary, the cost of holding the event will be the only one, so the overall deficit is huge.

Exactly the draw as a result of straining gold measures to secure the cost of cemetery construction.

Death by drowning in measures and debts, Mr. Scissor Eli.

... is not a good idea.

The way the gold works is on the outside road, but to be honest, I want the cost of building a cemetery, too. Besides, I'm sorry Mr. Eli is going bankrupt.

So consultation.

When this happens, we'll settle for a discussion.

"First of all, what made 'Tatibana' so underrated when the combat forces gave 'Alstromeria' a high rating?

"Well, of course, that's the difference in versatility. Only demonic statues can be broken without any problems in the flatlands, hills or forest areas." Tatibana "specializes in trench breakthroughs on pure plains. Too few operational options"

"I see. Is it indeed impossible to operate 'Tatibana' in the hills..."

"'Cause what the combat unit wanted was trench breaking capability..."

That's what Mr. Yayoi told me.

She just complied with the demands, so it's not bad, but I'm still concerned about the versatility of being a demon fighter.

Let's just stroke your head and forgive you.

"Ahhh.................. haha"

Shit, it's going to be a habit.

"Cohon"

And Mr. Sophia coughed deliberately.

"... So what made Mr. Barracks almost full of 'Tatibana'?

"Uh, that's erm... Of course, maintenance is easy and costs less than demon statues. If you are a demon statue, you use a small amount of misrills, and the cost of servicing the joint part remains the same as before. Though the torso part has improved, it hasn't changed much overall. The management of Crimson Demon Stone is one of the reasons."

"But we have to create a new production line! There was no factory for such a rare weapon! And how productive it is, it doesn't make sense if you lose more in battle!

And, Leona.

The perception is correct. Cost-effective, I don't know if it's really cheaper.

Because it equals no "Tatibana" defensive ability.

No matter how hard you say it is to hit, you might be able to stop it if you put up a barrage.

It is easy to imagine that the rate of destruction exceeds that of "Alstromeria".

"But compared to the statue of the demon, it's excellent maintenance. I don't really need to procure maintenance tools or special parts just to say disposable. Good maneuverability in remote operation. 'Tatibana' option in terms of overall cost, lifecycle cost."

"But what if it's not versatile? What about fighting in the mountains?

"It will be enough to improve the existing demonic statues that are currently produced. Estimates say it's cheaper than making new Alstromeria."

"But the original demon statue is sparsely refurbished, right? Wouldn't it be better in the long run to create a new demonic statue that's easier to renovate than renovate?

"That may indeed be the case. But shouldn't we use this' Tatibana 'as a connection to create a demonic statue that takes into account its versatility as the primary weapon in one period after another?

"No, then -"

"But..."

This debate was quite incandescent with the addition of Leona and Mr Yayoi, as well as other members of the Bureau of Military Stations.

It is now a valuable budget.

Within a tight frame with cuts, it's hard to focus on efficiency. When it comes to the army, it's an eternal chair removal game.

but there is another presence in the Demon King's Army that should be taken into account.

"- You should hire both"

"... Your Majesty?

Oh, what are you talking about?

That doesn't make sense, does it?

I've never heard of you making them compete and hiring them both!?

"Your Majesty. Then it makes sense..."

"I know what Akira says, but I don't think it makes sense to have weapons with different characteristics fight on the same mound, do you? If you say so, it looks like you're arguing forever with the bow or the sword, which is stronger"

"Ugh..."

The metaphor is easy to understand.

Which is stronger, the bow or the sword?

The answer is simple, both strong. One is long-range and the other is close-range.

In this case, one is a demonic statue with a versatility that does not choose the battlefield, and the other is a bobbin that specializes in fighting on the plains.

But can you afford to hire both within a small budget!?

No, before that, what happens to the load on the barracks when you employ two new weapons at the same time!?

I don't know if you know my anxiety like that, but the battle troops are on His Majesty's side here.

"That's a good idea! Even with us, there is a lot of peace of mind with two powerful weapons!

"You will, you will!

"Oh, no, um..."

"Akira. If they're both weapons with good performance, you don't have to worry about them! If you're worried, I'll decide on this occasion, as Commander-in-Chief of the Demon King's Army, to adopt both formulas!

Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm telling you something horrible, this guy!

Stop. Okay, don't hire me. It's gonna take a lot of work!

I don't want to go back to the increasing administrative process of employing both weapons, the days of confusing the two and missupplying parts and demon stones and complaining and some mud in good shape making more chaos weapons and bothering my head!

There's some objection material here - yes, Mr. Eli's self bankruptcy!

"Uh, Eli. If we hire both, what happens to the bet?

There are no more traces here but for Mr. Eli to cry and shake His Majesty's spirit!

Because if you hire both, you lose a lot!

but Eli's eyes on the elf in front of him were completely different than I expected. Eyes that feel like "I'm in trouble, but well, okay".

"... it's hard to say, there were 13 people who bet on 'they'll both be hired'..."

"What... so...? And there are surprisingly many 13!?"

"Actually, just before the deadline, there were quite a few people who bet on 'Hiring Both' and hitched a ride to it..."

"Who, that's what I bet! Without it, you could have been gambling unsuccessful!

Questioning him so, Eli looked like a bum and pointed his right index finger to the left.

In the direction of his fingertips was Sophia sipping 500 helles of coffee to swallow while looking at it approximately.

"... I didn't think it would hit me"

"Aren't you really looking forward to too much, Mr. Sophia!?

Final result.

The new Demon King's Army Development Authority demonic statue "Alstromeria" and the Missaca Design Authority recruit weapon "Tatibana" were decided to adopt the ceremony together in the voice of His Majesty the Demon King Hel Arche's Crane.

Also, the odds of "both hiring" were 12,046x in gambling sponsored by the Bureau of Military Stations......

The true winner is definitely Mr. Sophia and 13 others who got that 10,000 ticket.
