Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

My beloved boss called me, and I said, sighing.

"Already, Legion Leader, don't call me suddenly because of the possibility of bath and toilet time, didn't you say so much -"

Words have stopped because I'm pure proof.

I wasn't the one taking the bath, I was the Legion Leader.

She stayed half-whipped in the tub.

Luckily, or unfortunately, the hot air doesn't show the locality, but she doesn't seem to care.

"Can you wash my back with the brush there?"

And I've asked for it.

"... ask the demon to do that"

A magician in the class of Commander would be able to serve as many as he wants at the same time.

"Fool, whatever it is, relying on magic is proof of a second-rate magician"

"Is it a first-rate sign that you summon your apprentice to ask for such chores?

"No -"

Commander of the 7th Regiment of the Demon King's Army, Sephiro, the witch of black evil, shakes her head to the side.

"It's superb."

That's what she said.

"Hikaru"

and laughter.

"Don't wash your back or I'll send you to your cell."

And threatened me.

I have no choice but to wash my back with a brush while turning away.

"What are you ashamed of, when I was a kid, I would have taken a bath and done it"

"... when you were a kid."

"From a concubine's point of view, she's still a child."

"The captain has lived since the previous demon king."

………………

Even though I was pointing my back at it, there was a time when I was going to hear a phonetic sound called "giraffe".

After all, it seems taboo to ask a woman her age in any world.

From her back, I felt like if I touched her any more, I would kill you.

Highly capable of crisis detection, I turn to the subject in a hurry.

"And yet your skin gloss is as beautiful as ever, like a teenage birth daughter"

It seems that all worlds have in common to improve their mood as soon as possible if you praise them.

She is

"Well, well, well."

and, being comfortable, stood up in large measure,

"Flush your back!

And I gave the order.

I turn away again and follow it, and I give her a towel.

On a fairly small towel, a limb with irregularities is enough to hide the area. I'm the Legion Leader, so I'd like to say you can use more towels, but maybe you're doing it deliberately.

Enjoy my reaction this way, that's what she's after.

So reddening her face under the mask, and being distracted, is exactly during her surgery, but she is stunningly stuck in it.

I feel sorry for myself, but I couldn't help but mourn, so I decided to get down to business.

"- By the way, Captain, I have one piece of information I'd like to put in your ear."

"What? Did you choke on your concubine's underwear?

"It's a serious story. It's an urgent matter."

When I say that in a serious voice (frightening), she seems to have deactivated the joke mode.

"Talk to me."

And I took it seriously.

No, I can't see it from over my back, so I imagine.

"Yes. Actually, apparently, there's an insider in our brigade."

"Insider?

"Yes."

"On what grounds?

"Enemy soldiers have broken in from the recent fold of the Ivaris defense battle, the loophole that only the Demons have been informed about"

"Oh, how dare you?"

"Well, it's impossible to get a big army through the way out. It wasn't unplanned, but it wasn't as easy as losing."

"Well, listen to your mouth a little while ago."

"Thanks to the army I taught the Legion Commander,"

"If you say so, there's nothing left."

And, Sephiro said, go on.

"It was just unexpected to be attacked from within. If we hadn't left Kobolt's troops behind, it might have sucked."

"Hmm, I see, I mean, it was unexpected to be attacked from the inside, but we won a battle outside the castle, so we got nothing,"

"Well, in summary, yes"

"If you were struggling with the White Rose Knights, worst of all, infiltrated troops might have fanned residents and lost,"

"... worst case scenario"

"Hmm, that's a liberal question. So, I taught you the way out, that you're inside the Immortality Brigade?

"Probably."

"What, there's no basis? Doubt your allies for no reason and there will be internal discord. If you do, it's the enemy's idea."

"No, I have grounds"

And I ran out of words.

"Well, what kind of stuff?"

I'll give you the details.

Sephiro, who heard the story,

Hmm, I see, I shake my head slightly vertically and agree.

"On the way out, I installed a magic powered detector."

"That's right. The captain made it for me."

"Oh, is that it? That can't be easily disarmed like a human being. No, it's not even detectable."

"I checked later, and the device was brilliantly disarmed"

"Well, then, there's no chance that the secret construction was broken by the residents."

"I was wondering if I could rule out the possibility that the enemy might have stumbled across a way out."

"So, you doubted the existence of an insider, I see. It's a reasonable decision."

"... I don't really want to doubt my side."

"Do something sweet. You know as well as I do that the Demons are not a friendly bunch."

"Humans, too."

"Exactly, because in history, there is no such thing as an organization that didn't make a difference"

"I would have liked it to be that exception, if possible, as much as my brigade..."

"There are no exceptions in this world"

Cefiro affirms.

Well, you're right.

Things are the same in the original world.

There is no such thing as a single rock tissue.

Not to mention the demons who have been fighting each other and fighting for hegemony since their birth.

Not all demons unite.

"But the question is, who betrayed you for what reason?"

"The reason will be self-evident. To defeat my brigade."

"Exactly. Then there must be a reason to defeat them."

"Well, there are as many legions that are jealous of our legions. When that happens, the head of the other six legions, everything becomes a suspect. You must have been spying on my brigade trying to pull the 7th Corps leg."

When I said what I thought, my boss, Sephiro, laughed, "Come on."

"... what's so strange? Captain. Did I say something that off-target?

"No, it's really like you where the traitor decides to be a spy for another legion."

"... my colleagues don't want to doubt it as much as possible."

"But don't give up your thoughts to the end. Your grandfather would have said the same thing. Those who have not stopped thinking until the end will be the ultimate winners."

"But what can I say for myself, I don't remember doing anything resentful to my men, and I'm going to be doing pretty well with the other brigade leaders in the 7th Corps,"

"There you go. You look sharp, and sometimes you're so dumb."

Sephiro goes on to affirm that.

"Indeed, our 7th Corps is relatively united compared to other corps. Few are like pulling the legs of other brigades. Because that's how my concubine educates me."

But then she sticks her finger up to me and points it out.

"There is a limit to things. What have you been up to lately? How many enemy troops did you break and how many human forts did you drop? Besides, the damage to the allies is minimal, and the enemies are hardly killed and vivid."

"Ha..."

I accidentally give a dumb answer because I don't know what I'm talking about.

Is it because you saw me like that, Sephiro said, leaking a "man" exhale.

"You really are an idiot. The point is, as much as you might be jealous of other brigade leaders, consider it. I'm telling you."

"Are you in a position where I'm jealous of other brigade leaders?

When asked so, she points to a map of this continent placed on her desk.

Then move your mouth gently.

Something seems to be chanting magic.

When she finishes chanting her magic, the map shines.

"What's this?

and understand its meaning without having to ask.

A third of the east of this continent is painted red.

In other words, the area currently occupied by the Demon King's Army.

As that reflection proves correct, Sephiro said,

"This is not the area now occupied by the Demon King's Army. And -"

And, go on, now about a seventh of the red area starts to glow.

"What about this area?

I didn't even have to ask. It's just a place name, a fort, a city name that I recognize.

"Everybody, you're in the occupied area. One brigade leader of just one regiment has been involved in controlling all this area and has taken the lead. Besides, I just became a brigade leader."

"... I see"

Surely the captain was right.

I don't remember ever having a fight, especially with other brigade leaders, since I became brigade leader, but if I do feel like another brigade leader, I might get jealous.

That's right. Leaking out, I thought of the faces of the other brigade leaders.

Now, who was it that tried to plunge me into?

Is it a troll with the alias of a crushing warrior?

Or would he be the brigade leader of the Dragon Nation?

There are 10 brigade leaders in the 7th Corps, including me.

There are nine suspects...

I started selecting candidates for traitor while trying not to be preconceived.
