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

Of the areas divided into several blocks by the Pan-Human Coalition Forces on the Northern Continent of Humanity, the fourth inland from the north is the Pan-Human Coalition Forces IV side precinct.

Its command is located in the city of Izmir, built along the river.

Originally inhabited by beasts, that city has been renamed and is now made up of 100% of humanity.

A military junta will be laid, gunships will be seated on rivers, armoured trains on railways, towed guns on roads and anti-aircraft guns and antennas on tall buildings, where you will be able to see military personnel smoking.

But not all the remnants have disappeared. The sight along the main road after the amplification works is the city of the human nation itself, but when you enter one alley, it turns into a demonic city.

In the middle of that city with such an incredible landscape, there is a command.

corner of that command, in that room full of tobacco smoke and ink and paper odors,

"I'm telling you I can't do what I can't do, you idiot! Go to kindergarten school and get back out!!

There was a man, yelling at a request from a front-line unit.

His name is Reinart Lutz. He is an officer from the Rhine Urban Alliance, one of the eight major regiments of the Nation of Humanity, and captain of the 4513th Army Station Management Squadron under the 45th Regiment of the Precinct IV. The rank is Captain, 37 years old, single.

And the opponent of the call is a combat unit that is confronting the Demon King's Army on the front line by making it the same 45th Regiment.

'I don't care if they say I can't! Lately, they've turned to attack. I can't deal with the low firing speed and penetration with the 37mm Pong Tip Cannon deployed. Turn the new 76mm over here!

"That's why you're telling me you can't! The 76mm has just begun production, and the 7th district in the war zone is the top priority and it's not coming this way!

"Then 50 millimeters is fine! Whatever. Imperial 45mm is fine. If a new 76mm is deployed, there will be excess!?

"There's no surplus! Besides, 50 millimeters doesn't produce much!

"What about Imperial 45mm?!?

"Do you think the Empire guys are going to spin it on us!?

Lutz continues arguing similar to his old comrade over the phone. For the clerks, this call is a terrible May fly, but I wonder if it's sad, because this is a daily tea meal, they are already used to it.

"By and large, the demon statue of the Demon King's Army should be enough for 37 millimeters."

"That's a stone demon statue story! Steel demon statues can't penetrate in 37mm! When they get here... '

"If they come, close one eye and aim well, you'll hit the weak spot. Joints and stuff can be destroyed enough at 37mm!

"Then what if a new demon statue comes to hear rumors!? We're talking about playing 50 millimeters!?

"Blink your eyes when you do!

That's what I said, he slammed the receiver. Phones that are munitions are never cheap, but Lutz also forgets about it and treats it nasty.

This phone, by the way, is the second generation. And maybe we'll move on to the third generation soon.

Seeing such a rough and rough captain, his men converse with the hiccups.

"... Captain, you're in a mood"

"The usual. Whenever they march well, the distance between the home and the front line increases and strains the supply line. If there's more work to be done because of them, I can't help yelling."

"It would be better than stalling though...... Besides, the way you get angry is different..."

Exactly, he is a subordinate who realizes that the psychological state of the captain is different than usual due to differences in the way he is angry if he has worked for several years.

"Oh... maybe that's... that's it. That's because of the radio show..."

"What? Radio?

"You know that, too. About six months ago, the captain was haunted..."

"Oh, uh, was it definitely 'Animal World'? I only heard one story too, but you didn't know how funny it was and it stayed that way..."

One of the inventions created by mankind in modern times, radio, an application of telecommunication and wireless technology that carries audio far away, was already becoming popular to the public.

It is even more preferred on the less entertaining fronts, and many are as fascinated by radio drama as Lutz. One of them was what my men called "Animal World," an unusual show in which humans introduce their ecosystems as they interact with animals through their daily routine.

Some humans received that novel worldview and story. Lutz is one of them.

"So, what happened to those animals?

"Ah. It was a very popular drama, so the second issue of the show was definitely viewed, but it seems that Eight Millions on the production side and Kakawad, the publisher, rubbed it because of their rights. The director, a successful drama actor - was his name definitely Standwood? - was dismissed."

"... uh, you're not saying you're depressed or upset about that, are you?

"What the hell is that... If you like to compare it with your favorite SF, it's like Lells'" War on Mars "got to be the publisher's intention not to have a Tripod,"

"Isn't that the war?

My men instantly understood the seriousness of the matter. Well, I do understand that.

"That's right. We're at war."

And Lutz, who was listening to his men's conversation, approached him and said,

"Now it's clear that Kakawad is incompetent. So don't buy books from Kakawad either."

"Oh, I don't like that. My favorite writer is Kakawad."

"This is why I hate 'the big guy'. It's like an old nobleman."

Whether or not he knows that great old aristocrat, Rutz's anger is exactly like a citizen driven by a revolutionary spirit.

"Ma, in any case, now the second period is gone. Even if it did, it wouldn't look the same as the first period."

"Woe to you, Captain. But thanks to you, I can concentrate on my work."

"Oh, right. You did. Shall we work? Okay, SF, hang out a little bit."

That said, Lutz slaps his men on the shoulder. When he did the trick of saying so, he understood that it was troublesome in most cases, and that it was an order as a captain and there was no veto.

"So don't call me SF! How many names are Stefan Ferstel and his initials will be S.F.!

"It's like being an SF geek and having an acronym for SF or something. You're already telling me to call it 'SF'. Come on, let's go."

"Where are you going!?

"It's decided."

Rutz finished his personal duties and told him where he was going and what his purpose was.

"To the Imperial Army guys in the 75th Army. I'm going to leave the 45mm vs. Demon Cannon in surplus for a little while."

"............ yeah!?

You were yelling at me so much, you're gonna do it. That's what I wanted to complain about. It was Ferstel.
