231 Fear Politics Begins

The coup ended up being lightly suppressed afterwards.

Workkis gave up a complete antiwar and surrendered.

The Seventh Army disintegrated.

Heading under the working kiss where the chimps were caught.

I'll sneak away and split up, too.

Big mistake if you think your split is just the flat size of your hand.

Performance degrades, but it can also produce finger-tip-sized splits.

He's sneaking up on his chimpy shoes so he won't find out this time.

Workkis was trapped in the Lords' Office under the surveillance of soldiers of the Fourth Army.

Weapons are taken away, but they're not being held captive.

Are you sure?

"Seventh Legion Chief Workkis. Is there an opening?

To the voice of the chimp, the workkiss stares back with a calm face.

Hmm?

Something tells me that if I got cornered more, I'd be squeaking around, but it's not what I expected.

Even though he is a general of defeat, he has a good maneuver.

It doesn't suit my face, and that attitude doesn't feel like triplets.

"Brow. I didn't mean for you to lose this move."

"It's not me. We have an excellent informant."

Is that about me?

How long have I been in charge of collecting this information with you?

"Workis, you, how did you do this?

"To defeat the Demon King."

The workkiss responded instantly to the chimps' query.

"I know the Demon King showed up. And he's starting to prepare for a war with the people. That can't be done. Exhausted people to a decreasing birth rate year after year. Destroyed earth in a long battle. Try imposing more taxes on the needy with heavy taxes. The demons perish before they wage war. Demon kings and other demons are unnecessary. From now on, we must refrain from war with the people and continue on the path of reconstruction. Is that why you don't know? It's not too late now. Brow, stop the Demon King with Bart."

Oh, no.

I will transfer immediately.

And then show up behind the workkiss and pierce its chest.

"Damn!?

Groaning workkiss.

Stunningly eye-opening chimps and soldiers.

I squeeze my heart out of the chest of a workkiss and squeeze it.

"Bullshit. No need to ask"

Pull your hand out of the chest of a breathless workkiss.

The body of a lost workkiss falls and sinks straight into the floor with Zubuzub.

Long time no see getting raw meat.

"Why are you here?

The chimp asks in a faint voice.

I don't have the in-laws to answer, but do I threaten one here?

"Death to those who oppose the Demon King."

That's what I say. I leave the scene with a metastasis.

Is this enough as a threat?

The chimps were a little shaken by the words of the workkis.

If you just thought it was triplets, you would have had a coup with a pretty solid belief.

I guess the chimps had some sympathy for the words of those workkisses, too.

To the boulder, I wouldn't do anything to turn around on this occasion right now, but maybe the word of the workkiss will become a prick later and stay stabbed in the heart of the chimp.

I can't pull that prick out.

Then we have to create an air that we shouldn't defy.

I was gathering information and knew that the current situation of the Demon Nation was not very good.

Demons, rather than this whole world, though.

I don't have much respite anymore.

Although the world will not perish now, it was certainly in a much worse state than originally assumed.

As much as black had to make a place like that.

I can't go to war in that state.

Normally, it's reasonable to cease fire, and rather, it's not sane to go on a major offense in that state.

But that's a story if you think about it normally, and if it's not normal now, you have to.

'Cause that's what ordinary people who are trapped in normal thinking don't understand.

I can't even make you understand.

If I knew, I wouldn't have figured out what kind of mess would happen.

So what do we do to move the uninspiring people?

I just have to wield the power that I have to.

To be clear, there is no hope for the Demon King today.

It's only natural that he suddenly showed up and sat on the Demon King's throne, which has always been an empty seat.

If I could afford a little more, I might have taken the time to build it up, but I can't hope for that.

Because there's no way anyone can trust the person who told them to go and die.

Then you can just shake it off the other way around.

Governance by fear.

If you turn it against me, you die.

I have to hear you say it.

You can make him think so.

Because the Demon King has as much power as he can.

Fear politics can be broken one day and nothing good, but that's a long run story.

The best way to force your footprint to align in the short run.

The Demon King's reign is not long anyway, and there are no very disadvantages to this method.

I don't care what the people who throw it away think.

I don't choose the means.

That's what I decided.

Lick it up till now. I'll probably do everything I can from here on out.

To do that, I also have to get the main unit that I was playing with fully operational.

The nail stabbed the chimp.

The fear that I would skewer from behind should have been planted if I defied the Demon King.

When, where, and when I show up.

I can't even predict it for a chimp.

There's no way we can dodge it.

Unless you forget that fear, the chimps cannot act against the Demon King in a detour.

Even if the words of the workis try to move the mind of the chimps.

Still, if the chimp still defies the Demon King, you can skewer him from behind as you wish.

Next.

I appear somewhere metastasized.

"Who is it?

Quiet voice.

I don't even show upset that I suddenly showed up.

They say they're taking the back, but their core doesn't shake at all.

I see.

This is hard for the Demons.

"Demon King's Use"

I say that briefly to those who still show their backs.

When I heard that word, they finally turned to us.

You seem to have turned around casually, but you are sewing between my breaths to move into action.

If that bothers you, you can stop breathing, but if you were a normal person and they turned you around for the timing of your breathing, you wouldn't be able to go on offense.

"I see. Was it true, after all, that the Demon King descended"

Do you even have your own information network, grasping the existence of demon kings that only some demons know yet?

What I'm after is that unique information network.

"Order. Double espionage."

That's what I tell First Army Commander Argner.

To the devil's traitor, who has a secret connection to the elves.
