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

I was to walk in the city near the base with Jin.

The purpose is to procure supplies and gather information.

It's the usual espionage, he says.

But it's weird. If you've been doing this for a long time, it's even stranger.

"... the distinction between human beings becomes immediately apparent to the devil tribe. Why shouldn't I?"

"We'll find out soon enough. Let's make it an outdoor shop there. We should have more or less all the people we need there."

Jin and I walk in the city.

He walks in dignity smoking paper cigarettes with the same attitude as usual. I hate the smell of his cigarettes because they are unique.

But the city doesn't care what he looks like or the smell of tobacco. Why.

The question was resolved when I stood in front of the store and spoke to the old lady of the dogs who was the store number.

"Hello, Grandma, are you alive? I want the usual."

"Oh, hey, you're here again. Welcome, Mr. Akitsu (...). That's unusual, I can't believe you have one. Plus... heh, she's kind of cute."

... what?

What did you just say to this old woman?

"Lady, what's your name?

".................. uh, Colette Iceberg"

"You're Colette! Welcome to the Wichita store! Miss, you're so cute, I think I'll put it aside!

"Oh, Colette, it's a big battle! It's a medal!

"Pfft, yeah. Oh, yeah. - Grandpa! Mr. Akitsu is here! Take the pretty girl!

The old woman turns around and calls someone who is opening the window behind the open air.

When I say grandfather here, I mean her husband, not her grandfather.

"No! I don't like the smell of him! Close the window! The smell came this way as soon as I opened it!

"Yes, sir.... I'm sorry, my husband didn't seem to make it."

"What. I don't mind. I do smoke weird smells."

Did you realize it smelled weird?

Then I want you to weigh yourself in on sucking.

When I looked at him like that, Jin just winked with a prank grin. Apparently, he's not willing to stop.

Burn.

"I like it though, don't I? Why don't I smoke that cigarette?"

"I'd love to, but this is rare. I can't even take care of Grandma."

"Oh, too bad."

An unknown, shopkeeper-like old woman talks to Jin with a smiling face.

Talk about health, talk about the city, talk about store sales, talk about grandchildren, talk about no other love.

I don't feel uncomfortable. That sounds like a fun, normal conversation between a nice old lady and a weird Osama.

That's why I'm only uncomfortable.

The old woman referred to Jin as "Mr. Akira".

And the secret directive from the country was the assassination of a person who would be "Akitsu Akira".

I don't know what the hell this is about.

"-T! Colette!"

"... oh, yes?

If I had thought deep down, apparently I didn't even realize what they were calling me.

"Oh, Grandma, never mind. This guy's a mess sometimes."

When Jin said so and followed him, he held my shoulder and drew him thoughtfully.

The smell of tobacco stained in his body and the smell of aging make him disgusted about his nose.

But from the side, this is...

"Well, well. Could it be that you two are... that kind of relationship?

The old woman, unworthy of her age, is dyeing her cheeks by covering her mouth with both hands. This old woman is too well.

"Ha ha. Don't tell everyone, okay?

And Jin was Jin, and he stood up his pinky finger, and brought it to his mouth.

I see, I know very well that a spy is good at spitting lies.

I'll kill this guy after I kill the demon king.

"Yes, accounting. Just a little extra."

"Thank you, Grandma. Live long."

"Mutually. Please come back."

"Oops.... I'd like to say I can run some errands to Grossstadt. I don't know when I'll see you again."

"Oh, really? I'm gonna miss you...... the Devil's City is far away. Come back as soon as you can, will you?

"Oops. I'll get as much work done as I can and I'll go home. Bye."

"Thanks, I'll see you later. Nice to meet you too, Mr. Akitsu."

Having said that with a smile on my face by an old woman, I have to act as if I am honored to go to the Devil's Capital with Jin instead of reluctant to go along with the lies in the matter.

"Yes!"

I shrug in my heart as I show my old lady the best making smile of my life.

It's a bad job. We have to kill him now.

Either way, the errands in the city are over.

Jin is carrying a lot of stuff, but I can't figure out what the hell to use it for.

And there's another thing I don't see.

"Jin. You were Akitsu Akira?

I check my surroundings and poke a gun at him in my clothes to make sure he doesn't get ripped off and ask if it's true or false. When it comes to the reaction of the opposing gin,

"Lady, you know what I'm doing, right?

It's not an answer, but it's almost like an answer.

"... then why are you calling yourself that?"

"That's a simple story, too. They don't have a photo machine or anything yet, do they? With that in mind, Akitsu Akira, the only human being in the Demon King's Army, is famous enough to be known to this tiny town. But only being human and its name is famous."

"............ I see"

In other words, people in this town mistake Jin for Akitsu Akira, director of the Demon King's Army Station.

... and then, mistakenly, I am Akitsu Akira's lover.

"Jin, you suck."

"How does that happen?

He had a wrinkle between his eyebrows in the wind he said he really didn't know.
