It was not Dobolberg, the castle of the Demon King, but Valenzele, the castle of Sephiro, to whom I turned.

It's my first revisit in months, but I miss it a little.

Originally, I used to come to this castle as Sephiro's man.

I used to be summoned without meaning, turned into an experimental bench or even accompanied by a nagging tea drink, but lately I haven't been much of a blessing for such an opportunity.

I guess you're holding me back because I'm the Legion Leader.

Perhaps it is a witch named Sephiro who seems to have given nothing thought, guidance, consideration.

Thinking that way, Lizardman, the escort during the transfer, salutes me.

"Ah, it's Master Ike. Congratulations on your birth."

Lizardman is a subhuman with a lizard in his human form. Its expression is hard to read from other races, but its voice is playing. He seems to be purely happy with my birth.

"Thank you," he replied, asking where Sephiro was.

"Where's the captain?

Lizardman responds instantly.

"Probably, but it's caged in the research building, as usual, isn't it?"

"Again..."

The sigh leaks unexpectedly.

I wonder what that guy thinks of the position of Legion Leader.

Being a Legion Leader, I understand, but the Legion Leader is not only military, but also internal affairs, diplomacy, human resources, and their roles are diverse.

Originally, there shouldn't be time to be dawning in research, like Cephiro, but how are we cutting the 7th Legion?

It is one of the great mysteries.

I don't think the 7th Corps's momentum has diminished, so I'm trying to do it because it's not in my ear.

"Well, I guess my men are assisting you for what the captain is not serious about"

My grandfather used to talk about how when someone too competent stood on top of an organization, the organization stopped turning.

Precisely when the leader (leader) of the organization fades, or dies, the organization quickly collapses.

In that sense, he also said, "Sephiro's guy is pretty good".

I leave it entirely up to my men to trust me and not speak more than I need to, but when I need to.

Or maybe I was assigned under her so I could be born.

When I was one of Sephiro's men, I didn't realize that, but when I went away, I could see the difficulty.

"I'll try to imitate her, too."

I entrust my duties as lord to Giron and give Lilith a free hand, even in military terms.

What would happen if I did?

………………

Imagine, but I didn't come up with a very nice picture of the future.

"Well, people have their ways."

I didn't tell anyone. I leaked it, and I went to Sephiro.

The black witch, Sephiro's caged research building, is outside the castle.

They used to be built inside the castle, but now as a separate building, it's outside the castle.

The reason is that there will be good explosions and damage to the castle.

If that explosion destroyed the walls, it would not have been a demon king's army, and its losses would be immeasurable.

Is there a consciousness that it is unsavory on boulders, that a few years ago the research tower was built outside the castle, where it dawned on experiments every day?

When I went, Sephiro, the mad alchemist, was making the golem, as usual.

Apparently, he plants a 'cannon' in the arm of an iron golem. He's still the one who thinks there's no clapping.

That's what she thinks, she talks to me instead of looking at this one.

It was as if we had just broken up yesterday.

"Whoa, Ike, what are you doing here?

"I have an important consultation to discuss."

I know you didn't perceive my serious voice color, but if I leaked a word, I'd look back and walk over here.

Dark hair shakes, busty breasts shakes.

She still looks glossy, but I haven't really thought of her as heterosexual because she's been dating since I was a kid.

A distant sister of the year, is that the feeling?

- Anyway, she's a witch who lives for hundreds of years, although the difference in that age is not something adorable: 'sister', etc.

"-Ike, now you've been thinking about the age of your concubine."

When you come to my side, you make the same sharp point.

There's no annihilation.

And joking back, I stopped counting her age in my heart.

I can't tell if you're talking about it on account or magically reading your mind, but if you tell me to pick three people I don't want to piss off, I'm pretty sure she's at the top of the list first.

I am familiar with the horror of it because I care for it more than I did at a young age.

She won't be the only one who should turn to the enemy.

"Well, it's Ike. We haven't seen each other since the Legion Leader took office, but what have we come to do? You've come to miss your concubine's face?

"It's not as sweet as it takes to be homesick, and it hasn't been that long."

"Right, it's been six months since then. Well, I've been busy in the meantime, and honestly, I almost forgot your face."

I think it means, take the mask, show her the face, so when you take the mask, you expose the face to her.

"Hmm, have you gotten a little harsh? A creature called man grows fast."

"Old, you could call it."

"Well, you'll get old someday, too."

Saying so emotionally, Sephiro continued, "Let the secretary bring tea".

I say no to that.

"No, because of the fire."

"Well, it's a luxury tea leaf from Jackrott, but if you refuse it, it's for a fire."

She went on to say, "Fine, talk to me" when she said so.

Tell the facts in the end.

"Yesterday, from the Alliance of Kings, a Messenger of Peace arrived"

"Messenger of Peace......,"

Sephiro, the boulder, also seems surprised by the words.

Because since this war began, we have never brought such proposals from the human side.

"Humans are so hunted down. Or are you still trying to set up a negotiating seat within the bargain?"

The boulder is Cefiro. Looks like you got to the same idea as me right away.

If so, the conversation was quick. I asked her to turn this peace story into a demon king through her.

"What, are you a pacifist?

"Forget the captain, I'm human for once, I don't really like to fight."

"I know you're human, and I've been familiar with you hating fights since I was a kid. But now is not the time, and I don't think the battle will fit in so easily. And whether you want peace or not, the other captains will be convinced."

"That's why I came to the captain. Bring them to my side from the start, and they'll be on my side during the Legion meeting."

"I see, are you going to preform a majority? You manipulator. No, you politicians."

"I'll take it as a compliment"

"But what made you think the concubine would take sides? My concubine loves to fight, and she might disagree with peace."

"Once the war is over, you can indulge in as much research as you like."

When I say that,

"Well, then my concubine will be a pacifist."

And I said it out loud.

You're the same person. When I smile so bitterly, Sephiro says.

"Well, that's not a joke. Hand hitting around here is not a bad idea. The war situation is slightly more advantageous to us, but it's not bad if we can make a treaty that gave us that much concession. In the meantime, we may be able to accumulate more power and make a difference in power between us and humans."

"I have that idea, too."

Or in the meantime, enemies may rebound their power, but if their power antagonizes, there may be no war on the contrary.

We can assume various futures, but anyway, this decision is beyond the level of Legion Leader.

It was a case where the Demon King immediately appealed for a ruling.

I visited her under Sephiro with that connotation, but she also wished to accompany me to the Castle of the Demon King.

"Come on, my concubine hasn't greeted the Demon King in a long time."

She said so lightly, "Oh, yeah!" and cast magic, transferring between the metastases, and traveling straight to the Castle of the Demon King.

He's still a fast actioner.

Upon rejoicing that Sephiro, which had been around for a long time, had not changed at all, he put his mask back on and stepped between himself and the Castle of the Demon King.
