In my next regular reporting, I conveyed the proposal from Airia to the Demon King.
Hmm, I see
This is the Demon Kings office, and there is no one other than . Surprisingly it is a simplistic small room.
The Demon King nodded a little, and muttered.
It is a bold proposal, but it suits reasons as well as benefits. Looks believable, Baito, what is your opinion?
Its not Baito by the way
I Imdiately, in order to persuade the Demon King, opened my mouth.
So far from the sequence of events, Ryun Heights Viceroy Airia possesses rational thinking, and can be judged as wise and sincere.
Of course these are my true feelings. I unmistakably think of her as the Viceroys vessel.
Further, our army has favorable relations with the various forces of Ryun Height, the possibility of occurrence of a fatal problem can be considered low with this alliance.
Since the most problematic Palace Guards and Radiant Church beca ek, there are no big obstacles.
The Demon King was listening to my views silently, but soon he nodded deeply.
This is a proposal with huge benefits for our Army. But this affects the future of the Demon army, so I must examine it carefully.
Of course, a little ti is needed, isnt it
The Demon King, turning pages of the report, asked.
At the ti of Tuban capture, I heard that you used all the Dragons Breath. Is there any discrepancy?
As expected it got exposed.
Straightening my back, flusteredly I answered.
Since the success or failure of the strategy was going to affect the situation, to be absolutely sure, I used the entire amount.
Actually, if we could not broke through the castle gate there, then we would not have captured. I am not regretting the fact that I have used the gunpowder barrel.
I accept that I overdid things.
I thought the Demon King would get angry, but he just nodded silently.
Very well. However, this being a top secret, and also the best operational procedures are not established yet, so for the ti being, abstain from using this strategy. Is that good?
Yes.
Instead, from now on, I will hasten the research on castle siege war.
Oh, I am really thankful for that.
Regarding the usage of Dragon Ball, I have received the report. Since the effectiveness was confird in a real battle, you can continue research under the Dragon Fla chanic Division.
I am grateful for the blessings.
If I can use those fireworks, then so sophisticated tactics can be practicable. I am also thankful for this.
The Demon King got up from the large chair, and muttered looking at the scenery from the window.
The plants inside the fog also have a fresh color.
Oh its almost sumr. Speaking of fireworks, it should be sumr.
Its just as you said.
Gleefully, I deeply nodded.
Wait.
Isnt it strange?
Turning around, the Demon King is staring at .
What is fireworks, Vaito!
Yes, that is..
Those things i did supply to thou art Dragon Balls. Then what is fireworks?
Fireworks is.
At that mont, I realized an outrageous thing.
From a little while ago, the Demon King is speaking in japanese.
Thee understandeth Japanese, right, Vaito!
The Demon King addressing in fluent japanese, pronounced my na correctly as Vaito.
I dont understand anything anymore.
No, I understand exactly.
The Demon King is also a Japanese, sa as .
Perhaps, your Majesty, the Demon King is..
Being careful thoroughly, I asked in this worlds language, but the Demon King no longer paying any attention to it, answered in japanese.
Thats right! I am a reincarnated person. Sa as thee.
I shouted instantaneously.
Whats that!?
Offering the confused to sit, he said in japanese.
Alloweth to talketh in order. Sitteth for a while, and wont thee listen to mine own story
When the dumbfounded , sat on the chair, the Demon King said I knoweth not if the Japan thou speaketh of and the Japan where I wast, were whether the sa period, or the sa world or not as preface and spoke in this manner.
When the Demon King was reincarnated in this world, the conflicts amongst the Ryujin clans were becoming more severe. The cause were the humans.
For the developnt of mines, the humans drove away the Ryujins living in the mountains. As a result, the clans, who beca refugees, invaded the mountains where other clans lived, and it beca a dispute.
Fearing this, the Demon King with a large military force as the background, united the entire Ryujin race. The united Ryujins finally succeeded in recapturing their old ho from the humans.
Then, to protect all the surviving demons, he ford the Demon army and brought in other demon races.
Although in the past there were many heroes of the demon race, who were called the Demon King, but the one who organised the modern army for the first ti was only the current Demon King Frieden Richter.
With an efficient organization system, the fights with humans were succession of Victories. Using new tactics which were not yet established, at a stretch he raised the Demon army to an invincible combat group.
That would have been like that. Because he has the knowledge from his previous life.
..Damn it, that seems fun.
I couldst not arriveth at the conclusion that there art other reincarnated persons. Engrossed in the war day after day, there wast no such a scope too. But then, thee hath appeared.
In the beginning, the Demon King did not recognize and thought of only as an excellent subordinate.
Since he is not very good at pronouncing my na, when he inadvertently called as Baito, I made an unpleasant face, there I caught his eye a little.
Though, if soone is not called by their correct na, anyone would be unpleasant.
Thinking like that, the Demon King forgot about that imdiately.
After that, it seems he practiced so that he could pronounce it correctly.
You sure are more hard worker than I expected, Demon King-sama
Since I feel guilty towards the subordinates who putteth their lives on the line.
He felt the genuine problem, when I tried to make gunpowder.
Dragons Breath I an gunpowder. When I did learn that thee did want to mix that, I felt sothing unexpected
If a modern person becos a soldier after reincarnated in another world, at first he would certainly try to do that.
There is no way of not being suspected.
At tis, deliberately calling my na Baito, he observed my reaction.
But, this ti also the Demon King could not reach the conclusion.
If he is the disciple of the Great Sage Gomoviroa, it is not strange to realize the preparation of gunpowder.
But then, thee did accumulate achievents one after the other. Particularly the contributions in winning over various forces of Ryun Height, and Tuban capture art most wondrous.
I didnt realize at all, but with this my fa has already beca steadfast.
On the desk, the Demon King placed the tea caddy, I recognize, and a pot with familiar sll. Those are the green tea and the sweet sauce.
These art the green tea and soy sauce sent by Technical Officer Kurtz. Now, it is too much to just be a coincidence.
No way! your Majesty, were you investigating my background using him?
Thats not right. To aid thee thoroughly, I hath used the excellent Technical Officer Kurtz. At the sa ti, I also did want to make the Ryujins learn about thy governing thods.
As I suspected, Technical Officer Kurtz was an important close associate of the Demon King.
Technical Officer Kurtz observed my behavior as expected by the Demon King, and it seems he even sent those as reports.
But I still have questions even now. Thee, wherefore arent thee interested in mine background at all?
Even I cant possibly know.
But the Demon King speaks mysteriously with a serious look.
Isnt it obvious looking at mine na?
Your Majesty Demon Kings na Frieden Richter, is it?
Thats right. In german, it ans the diator of peace. To not let myself drowneth in power, as a warning to myself, I am calling myself as such.
At the very least make it english please.
The nas of Ryujin race sounds more like German. At the hour I nad myself as the Demon King, I couldst not help but doth so.
Since I didnt react to the Demon Kings na, the Demon King was troubled to the end whether I was a reincarnated person or not.
Do you get it, that kind of thing.
With all due respect your Majesty,
Speak!
Since this is all so sudden, sohow my feelings are in a disarray
When I timidly said that, instead of getting angry the Demon King, made an excuse in a rather apologetic voice.
Well, wait, doth thee get mine standpoint?
I understand your position more than anything, but calling out the reincarnated persons in the Demon Army, or to appeal the reincarnated persons with more easy to understand way, werent there these thods?
The Demon King cleared his throat forcefully.
Wait wait, that wast because thee wast unfamiliar with German. This much is the maximum amount of compromise for .
Is that so?
If it becos widely known, that I am a reincarnated person and am looking for other reincarnated persons, it would be a troubleso matter. Pretending that they are reincarnated person from so different world, there would be people who would tryeth to curry favor with . To not let the power of the King be abused, I must at each mont be vigilant.
I see.
Sohow it seems, being a king requires to have more cautious conduct than we thought.
I understood the situation in general, but my feelings are not settled yet. I am still a little bit confused.
Perhaps that was shown in my expressions, the Demon King bowed to .
Forgive for various things. It wast mine own ineptitude. Nay, I wast afraid. To ascertain who thee exactly art.
Ah, no, its not absurd at all. Your Majestys position, as a novice I sympathize with you.
Looking at the apologetic face of the usually dignified Demon King, I feel humbled.
Of course, I want the Demon King to have frightening amount of dignity.
Well, lets get down to business. I, being a demon, wanteth to protect the demons from humans. But because I wast a human previously, I cant bringeth myself to misprise humans. If I can, I wanteth to maketh a state whither Humans and Demons can coexist.
After the Demon King stood up, he stepped up close to .
I wont ask, who thee wast in thy previous life or how thee hath spent thy lifeti. I also dont have any particular intention to divulge into those. Just that, if it is thee, thee couldst understandeth mine troubles. Fighting along side , wont thee grant this extraordinary dream?
In that case, the answer is already decided.
Standing up from my chair, I kneeled down on one knee in front of the Demon King.
I am also currently a part of the demon race, a Werewolf. To abate this world off of the useless bloodbath of the humans and demons, please use from now on.
Your loyalty, I accept anew Thank you, Vaito
On my shoulders, the Demon King put his massively heavy hand.
Regarding the matters of Ryun Height, since I already knoweth that thou art a reincarnated person, I can entrust thee with peace of mine mind. Let us welco Viceroy Airia as our sworn ally. I would decide the particulars on at a later date after having a eting. Particulars shall be decided at a later date upon further eting.
Oh, yes. She will also be happy.
Of course, thee has to work harder from now on. I expect a lot from thee.
Yes! Strangely, my feelings are not sorted out yet, but I would do my best!
You seem surprisingly particular about it
When the Demon King smiled wryly, I also cramped up a laugh.
Well, fine, curse later. Even so, during dinner together, let us have you hear the stories of my hardships.
Yes, certainly.
