Volu 2, Chapter 11
But you know, will things be resolved with only that.
In response to Ninos artless question, Vermudol, who sat back down properly on the throne, answered sounding like he didnt care.
Well, its probably impossible. But, there is aning to it being sothing that I proposed.
Thats right, what was important was the point that it was a solution that Demon King Vermudol proposed.
For the Mazoku who only knew fist fights as being the only ans of problem solving, the fact that another thod than that was a new resolution thod that the Demon King personally proposed ant that it would be treated as a splendid resolution thod on the sa level as the ti-honored fist fight.
ErmIn other words?
The Mazoku will think for themselves and choose the way of solving a problemthat is what it ans.
That is how it is.
With Ichika answering Ninos question, Vermudol nodded.
This ti, the true reason for proposing janken was this.
Getting into a fist fight if opinions clashed, that was easy but it was too simple.
That is why, by first putting in the thod that the Demon King proposed as a choice for a ans of solution, it would make the Mazoku start thinking.
As a result, if it developed into a fist fight, then that cant be helped.
Actually, it was only natural that there will be tis where it is hard to settle things with janken. However, there was aning in making Mazoku have to think about which asure they should take.
Hn. Then Raktor wont use it.
No, he will use it for one day.
I think that he will use it for three days.
As Nino and the others exchanged their own self-willed predictions, Orel, who had finally awoken nearby, groaned while raising his upper body.
Whatre you all saying who will or wont use what?
Ahh, its about how long Raktor will use janken for.
Hearing Vermudols words, Orel pondered while saying Fumu.
Since its that guy were talking about, wouldnt he continue to use janken by bringing it up only for things that dont matter?
Ahh, that makes sense.
Vermudol nodded at Orels unexpectedly perceptive opinion.
Certainly, Raktor was that kind of man.
Well, in regards to that, lets just watch the transition that will happen from here on out. For the ti being, there is a need to think of other ans of resolution as well.
Haa, so youre still gonna do more.
Yeah.
What Vermudol was thinking of, was board gasmore specifically, things like shogi, go, and chess.
The facts that they were strategic in nature and that they could even be used as amusent were the wonderful points of board gas.
It would be troubling if they beca too engrossed with them, but the things known as gas were indispensable to the growth of culture to a certain extent.
And then, above all, it made one use their head.
As a ans to make a decision, they would take too much ti, but they were just right as a ans for making the Mazokus muscle-brains better.
Things that could make even Mazoku get engrossed with themtaking that into consideration, sothing that was visibly fun was good.
In that case, a ga that had beautiful, three-dinsional pieces like chess was good. Furthermore, replacing the pieces with parts of the Demon King army would make it easier to approach for them.
If he rembered correctly, chess was a ga where one won by cornering the opposing king so that they couldnt escapethat was roughly the rule of itthat was how he felt.
However, the Mazoku probably wouldnt be able to agree with this.
Even if he explained the general concept of a checkmate, he could easily see the appearance of people flaring up about a king that admitted their loss before dying.
Moreover, they would show rage towards the remaining piece and how they were a gathering of weaklings that wouldnt even fight the kings enemies.
If done poorly, there was even the possibility that it would develop into a fist fight from a difference in opinions over that.
In other words, the rules would have to be changed into an annihilation battle.
And, well, that is the kind of ga that I am thinking of.
Haa. Well, it does sound interesting.
A strategy ga that plays with three-dinsional piecesHowever, there is a point at issue.
In response to Ichika who was making a refined face, Vermudol, who was singing his own praises by saying that it was surprisingly a good idea, showed a question mark on his face.
Having the Demon King army divided into two is inadvisable. There is only Demon King-sama after all.
I an, its just a ga after all
To have two Demon King armies oppose each other with the sense of it being a ga is nightmarish.
Ichika turned the other way in a huff.
Thinking that it was impossible to persuade her now that shes beco like this, Vermudol breathed a sigh.
However.
Saying that, it was there that Ichika returned her gaze towards Vermudol.
If for example, one side were to be made as the Hero army, then it might be fine.
Thats right, if it was the Hero versus the Demon King, then it certainly wasnt impossible.
However, feeling like there was so sort of problem, Vermudol tilted his head in contemplation.
But theres how to decide which one will be the Hero armyisnt there.
AhhRight. Thats true.
Hearing Ninos muttering, Vermudol agreed.
Certainly, without a doubt, it would turn into a fist fight with just that.
Manipulating the Hero army, in what way could they naturally guide it to its destructionWouldnt that be a splendid strategy?
Ahh, yeah. That would more for advanced practitionersWell, I suppose we should leave it at that for now.
In response to Ichika who was making a truly mysterious face, Vermudol replied with a smile with no strength behind it.
In that case, shouldnt we just add in a setting that it is just an exercise?
An exercise?
Hearing Orels words, Vermudol sent a very interested looking gaze at him.
In other words, lets put the setting as being an exercise for fellow mbers of the Demon King army. Wouldnt it be fine if we just them prepare the pieces to the point of being sick of it, have them choose the ones that theyll use in the ga from them, and make them go to war upon assembling their own armies.
I see, it also has the good sounding point of causing attachnt by the setting of making them choose the actual Demon King army.
Hearing Orels unexpected suggestion, Ichika also nodded.
Vermudol also felt that Orels idea certainly wasnt bad at all.
If they were to use their heads starting from the selection of pieces, then it might encourage positive thoughts towards group battles.
Yosh, then lets send an order of pieces going with that direction to the Norms and
Ah, wait, wait, Ver-cchi.
It was there that Rokuna appeared in the Throne Room while being out of breath.
Clearly looking like she sprinted with all of her might, Rokunas clothes were a bit disordered, however, for so reason, her hairdo was fixed properly.
[Illustration]
So its you Rokuna. Whats wrong?
For crying out loud. To be like that even though the current , which could tickle an innocent boys heart from being just a little bit disorderly, is right in front of you. Arent you a bit too dry? I an, look at Orel over there, he looks like hell attack at any mont, you know?
As if
Rokuna went from a dash to a dropkick at Orel who breathed a sigh sounding serious. However, since Orel didnt collapse from that as anyone would expect, Rokuna went and added a knee strike and then turned back around to face Vermudol.
Ah, and so. About what was being talking about just now.
Nn? Ahh, I also feel that your words just now were a bit questionable.
Not about that part.
While clicking her tongue at Orel who shook off Rokunas blows with a composed face, Rokuna shook her hand sideways.
Its about the pieces. The pieces that will first be in a set with the ga board, could you limit it to just Goblins?
Why?
Hearing Ninos words, Vermudol also replied with the sa reaction.
Yeah, I thought the sa thing as Nino. Why would there be a need for such a thing?
Its for the sake of turning the economy, see. Amusent turns the economy veeery well.
Vermudol imdiately understood the aning of those words.
Ahh, I see. So youre trying to make them buy additional pieces.
Thats how it is. You make them buy a bag filled with random pieces. Ones like the Four Cardinal Generals, and naturally the Ver-cchi pieces will need to be low in number, of course.
What Rokuna was saying was certainly correct.
By changing the acquisition rate depending on the piece, it will make them buy additional pieces for the sake of making an army that they could agree with, and they would surely possess affection for the pieces that they obtained.
And then, if that could make them enthusiastic for the ga those pieces were made for as well, then it could accomplish the goal of making the Mazoku use their heads as well.
If he rembered correctly, there should have been a similar concept in the world that Vermudol was originally in as well.
Feeling like he was about to rember that, Vermudol slightly tilted his head.
There certainly should have been sothing buthe just couldnt rember what it was.
But still, changing his mind and thinking that sort of things happens as well, Vermudol switched over his thoughts.
Right, lets go with that.
While were at it, even the boards themselves, lets change things like the materials and make various types of them. That way would be better. I super recomnd it.
Certainly, from cheap boards to high class boardsthat sort of thing made sense when said from an economic point of view.
Yosh, Ichika. Could we move forward in that direction?
As you wish. It will be done right away.
Ichika said that, and left the Throne Room.
Most likely, a set of samples would be made in the next few days.
The rules would have to be finely worked out later.
Rokuna.
What, Ver-cchi. Have you fallen in love with ?
Please take care of the pieces individual movents and the finer rules. Since its Ichika were talking about, she will surely have a fearso amount of pieces prepared.
Eh, I dont wanna
Please do it.
EhhVer-cchi, it was your idea, right?
Dont say that. Ill give you several wonderful pieces once its all done.
Then give the Ver-cchi one, the real one.
You cant.
What the heck. Nino, dont get in the way.
Seeing Nino and Rokuna start to glare at each other, Orel stealthily took refuge near a window that was easy to escape from.
While watching that scene, Vermudolfelt a serenity that he truly hadnt felt in such a long ti.
