My name is Darriel.

A dark soldier belonging to the Demon King's Army.

... was.

It's an old story now.

Fired from the Demon King's Army, clear and unemployed, I just wandered everywhere

The Four Heavenly Kings are right.

I'm incompetent.

I can't use magic against the demon clan.

Magic that even children can use if they are slightly talented.

That's why I remained a dark soldier the whole time I joined the Demon King's Army.

Dark soldiers are the lowest.

There are many places on top of it, like the Dark Knight, the Dark General, and the Dark Soldier is at the bottom of it.

I was given the position of Assistant to the Four Kings because, for one thing, there was a promotion by the previous generation of the Four Kings.

But its predecessors were also deeply burdened by the fierce struggle against the brave and forced to retire.

And it was those bashbarzas who became the new Four Heavens King.

It floats and sinks in situations that change from time to time.

My position was such an unstable and improbable one.

I didn't even notice that, and how shallow I am still dragging the shock in this way.

... What's going on?

Age thirty-two.

It was a life of Demon King's Army until I was this age.

It would be pretty hard to choose another way of life from now on.

Do you want to see the Grand Bar of the Four Heavens?

Dear Grand Barza, Teng Himself, who has set me up as an aide and adored me across the public and private sectors, is nothing more than a dark soldier.

Maybe if I talk to that guy, he could introduce me to a new way of working.

... No, you can't.

Lady Gran Burza told me when I retired.

'Help my son well,' he said.

Master Bashbarza of the present Four Heavens King is the man of the Grand Barza.

The purpose of helping the son of the great benefactor was to keep me in the Demon King's Army, where he left.

Which side can we go down to meet while we fail to live up to a man's promise?

Even if not, Lady Gran Burza is deeply wounded and healing from the brave.

I can't let you know that even though the wound that caused my retirement hasn't healed, it makes me anxious.

In the end, I am the man who disappears quietly.

I can't even use magic.

Impossible.

Who would be in trouble where I'm gone like this?

That's what I am.

He's a pointless, useless man.

Then let's just disappear.

Let's get out of demonic territory and disappear wherever we go.

That's what I thought and kept walking.

Walk.

Walk.

Walk......

Until despair is mahi and the senses are gone......

No, you really walked.

How many days has it been since then?

The feeling of days is no longer ambiguous, either?

In the woods if you notice.

I didn't recognize him at all, and I didn't even know which direction I was coming from.

The point is, I don't even know where this is.

It just seems like my desire to escape, wherever it is, has come true.

But here's the problem.

Some hunger had risen with wild grass dots, but is it time to limit it?

What should we do now?

If that's what you think......

"Caaaaaaaa!?"

A scream echoed from behind the woods. It does reach this ear.

"Huh!? Scream!?"

In these woods?

You can't ignore what you hear.

I rushed in the direction where the scream flew.

I arrived as soon as I could.

In the depressed woods, a young woman is being attacked by someone.

It seemed like a real emergency.

"Ugh!

When he jumps right into the scene, he stands to shelter the woman.

"Understand that a weak woman is being attacked?

"Huh? Ahhh... Huh!?"

The woman seems confused by the intruder, but she can't help it.

If you are attacking against..., turn your attention. At first I thought it was a person, but it wasn't.

"... a monkey?

Standing on two legs, the furry, fang-stripping beast roars at me.

Even so, monkeys are about the same size as me.

If it were a decent beating, the winner of a handsome beast would be thick.

I still resent myself for being useless.

If this is the elite of a decent Demon King army, you can burn it round with one magic shot.

I can't even use the initial flame magic, how incompetent I am, really.

"Shit...... ugh!

At least try to frighten me by the touch of my body, but the monkeys are quick as they look, and they get my helo tackle and stuff involved.

I'm still hungry. My body is powerless.

"This, at least...!

Just buy enough time for a woman to escape safely...!?

Is there any way?

Even I can help others with such incompetence, there is some way...!?

!?

Something caught my eye when I looked around in agony.

Glitter of chirali and metal.

Sharp and pointy ahead.

"... weapons?

He's just a knife.

What humans have created to confront our demons.

Does the convenient fall in the woods mean it belongs to the woman who was attacked?

You tried to fight the monkey you attacked, but you dropped it without being able to handle it?

Does that mean she's human?

No, I don't care about that.

It's a disgrace to Demon King soldiers, such as relying on human-made weapons, but now I'm not Demon King's Army anymore.

Let me use whatever I can to get rid of the crisis.

"So yah!

I manage to pick up the knife and point my cut at the big monkey.

Is this how you covered it up?

How did you use that brave party you used to fight for?

"Kicky Yikes!!"

Monkeys jump at me.

Quick toss!

"Duh, duh!?"

From the protruding knife came a gentle response to stabbing and scratching meat.

The great monkey covered me with the momentum of the assault, but it didn't move any further than that, and I was desperate.

"... it worked"

I checked, but the knife was poking deep into the left chest of the great monkey.

Through the gap between his ribs, he hit his heart directly.

I just imitated what my fellow brave men are doing, but I didn't know it would be decided so beautifully.

Me for now.

I beat the monkey.
