Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

"It's late!"

That was the first voice we were called when we walked backwards through the underground labyrinth and finally came out to earth.

Apparently, he's unhappy with the time it took me to attack the underground labyrinth.

But after a job, the best word I can say to my people is... I doubt Sephiro's qualities as a boss. I've made up my mind, I'll work hard on my men when I'm brigade leader. It's me, the commander, who sees the loss, just buying objections for nothing.

"... excuse me, Captain"

"Mm, what, do you honestly apologize? I don't know. I just wanted you to feel like eating and hanging."

Know it or not.

Yeah, well, this guy stinks at all.

"Come on, you kept your concubine waiting. Naturally, they would have taken the example, wouldn't they?

"What is that disturbing way of saying it? ……… Yes, this way"

I just told you to come over, Sephiro, and I'm offering you my hand.

I put some white ash on my hands.

They were waiting for us in the deepest part of the labyrinth, the fruit of dragon zombies. The Stone of the Wise Man was destroyed, and now it was the ashes of a dragon that lost its life.

I didn't know where it hit the fangs, but, well, it's part of the dragon's body, and I want you to look at it a lot.

But Sephiro looked at the ashes he had been given, with a decent look on his face.

"What? This."

It's a dragon.

"... Ike, are you making fun of your concubine? How many concubines get angry when they're angry with a serious, warm army leader?

"I'm not making fun of you. I mean, didn't you set yourself up?"

"What do you mean?

With the face that I don't know the bottom of my heart, I got my neck tilted.

I had no choice but to tell you exactly what happened in the deepest part of the labyrinth, in the former Sephiro workshop. "The Stone of the Wise" was embedded, that dragon zombies have attacked. That its dragon zombies have developed "barriers" to playing witchcraft and demons. And that when you destroy The Stone of the Wise, the Dragon Zombie returned to ashes.

In the end, Sephiro was listening with an intriguing nod.

Eventually, when I finished speaking, Sephiro nodded loudly.

"Hmm, did that happen? I know that."

"I don't know. Because... isn't that what the captain set you up? No dragon zombies, no 'sage stones'."

"Indeed, the concubine kept a study of the Stone of the Wise in this workshop. A study of the magic of Barriers. But both are frustrating studies. I remember trying to generate" The Stone of the Wise, "but it ended in a failed attempt."

"... I mean?

"Perhaps the remnants of the research that has been left in that place have coincidentally magically combined to create a pseudo-' sage stone '. And I guess the dragon that was in that place combined to become an immortal zombie."

"Coincidence, is it? But that's..."

"My concubine lost interest in the research here when she failed. I left most of the research behind. It's no wonder there's such a chance."

The point is that Sephiro's sloppiness led to this one...

I thought Sephiro was setting the stage for everything. That's why he set up a dragon zombie that only I, the human being, can break through. But at this rate, Sephiro really doesn't seem to be aware of the dragon zombie.

I didn't think I'd say anything to the brigade members, give me back my purity.

"Well, fine. Even without the fangs of a dragon, the concubine has no trouble. It's just too bad. Besides, I think Ike got more than a concubine would regret."

"... yeah, I won't deny that"

I'll take a look around the narrow digging cabin.

Continuously crawling up from the underground labyrinth are the elites of our Immortal Brigade. In this case, the trust of the brigade members in me became a stone's throw. It would have been great to have been recognized by Giron, Lilith and Sigan, the troop leader classes. And in being recognized by them, the dragon zombie crusade meant a lot.

What everyone said was a compliment to me.

Lilith was right, in the Demon King's Army, pulling, in the Demon Nation, it was more powerful to say things than anything else. It's huge that they showed that up close. There will always be a useful day on the battlefield ahead.

"It's Ike. I hereby reappoint you as Brigade Leader of our 7th Regiment, the Immortal Brigade. I'll wait for the good news."

"Yeah, I got it. Captain."

- At this time, I hadn't imagined it yet.

The trust thus created eventually becomes strong and leads to activity on the battlefield.

I don't know if my Immortal Brigade will boast a track record of outsmarting even the Demon King's Army.

"The Scarf of the Demon King's Army." I didn't know the title was going to be on my shoulders.

At this time, I hadn't even anticipated...

†

"Mm.................."

Wake up a heavy body and grow tall.

... I've been having nostalgic dreams for so long.

It's been over 3 years since then. Our Immortal Brigade has continued to make rapid advances, now to the point of governing a trading city called Ivaris. Would Sefiro, the originator, have foreseen this until now? By the way, even I, the party, didn't expect things to go so well.

It's not like you don't trust your men.

I put my trust in Ninglo's full width. Still, I didn't expect a smooth march so far. The point is, you lack my imagination. Giron would have said, "I thought my husband would do it!" and I guess I'll even take it in a powerful gutsy pose.

My back hurts. Apparently, he stuck to his desk and fell asleep just like that.

On hand are the pending documents and cups filled with coffee.

Looking beside him, Satti was sneaking up on the boat, trying to lean against the chair.

I seem to have kept you waiting a long time. It's unusual for this kid to fall asleep at work.

Try to keep your soft cheeks on the play.

".................. Oh, my lord...?

"Morning, Satie."

With a blurry eye, Satie turned to me.

And when you open your eyes instantly, you correct your dwelling in a hurry. When I stood up quickly, I kept my head down over and over again.

"Also, I'm sorry! I can't believe I fell asleep beside your husband while I was a samurai...... this sati, it's a lifetime of unconsciousness. I'm sorry!

"No, you're sorry about me. I fell asleep without waiting for coffee."

"No, your husband has nothing to apologize for! Everything is the result of this Sati immorality. I'm sorry to overlap!

"I don't mind..."

Oh, man, the slave guts are really stained.

Looking at Pekopeko and Satti bowing her head in a heartless manner reminds me of a water-drinking bird. I know he's serious, but the way he looked was somewhere funny.

This won't make Satie feel better if you don't even give her one of the punishments.

Drink up a coffee that has completely cooled down, thinking a little mean.

"Mm, if you think it's that bad, Satie, bring me another cup of coffee as punishment. Hot enough to stand up."

"Or yes, I did!............... is that it? Your husband?

"Didn't you hear that?

"Yes, no! We'll have it ready now!

That being said, Satti jumped out of the room at an unstoppable speed.

It's funny because I'm really in a hurry when I say it's a joke.

Well, I've got another job to do, too.

"It's not easy for local lords."

Saying, head to the documents on the desk.

My head is crossed because I got some sleep. Let's just get this over with. After work, you may want to go shopping in the city with Sati.

With that in mind, I took a pen.
