(Chloe's perspective)
　Beyond the dark zone, we were steadily advancing the invasion of the Demon King Arisa's control area.

　What's more, the master's discernment made it easy to see through the mother-in-law's double trap.

　Ah ... what a happy dark elf I am.

　Chloe-Theon it sounds so sweet. All I have to do is ruminate on the honorable name given to me in my mind.

''........Roe,.........''

　A lowly voice interrupts the fullness and happiness of the moment.

'Well I'm tripping.
Chloe's sore throat was a form of disease.

What?
Chloe, are we going?
'Humph!　I don't need you to tell me what to do!

　The master of the lowly voice - I will go on without being told by Blue. To fulfill the Master's debt to the omniscient and omnipotent Master, who is all I have, as quickly as possible.

'What has happened to Master Chloe?
Are you sure she's all right?

　Noir, the newly formed clique of Ogre General, and Rouge, the Ogre Braver. At first, they had a lick in their mouths, but once they showed their skills with a snap, they became more mature. Rouge is a "Miss, Miss, Miss," May, but I've been strictly ordered by my master to take care of her, so I'm going to train her to the point where she won't die.

　Well, both of them are well endowed. I'm sure that if they are trained, they will easily overtake the blue degree.

Enemies.

　Silver, who is walking in the lead, twitches his nose and senses the presence of the enemy.

　Silver and Noir take a step forward, shields at the ready. The Living Mail and the others set up their shields to protect us. I drew my bowstring and the rest of my men readied their own weapons and waited for the enemy.

　--I see them!

Eagle Arrow!

　The shimmering scale dust that flickered in the depths of the forest - the arrows I fired into the pixie's wings.

'Phew!　Let's do it!
I'm coming with you!

　Hope, transformed into a werewolf, and Blue, axe in hand, charge into the goblin pack that emerges from the depths of the forest, and a little later, Rouge, wielding a rugged gold rod, flails around in the front line that has turned into a melee.

　I dutifully shoot through the pixies with arrows, Silver and Noir damming up the onrushing goblins, and the living mails catch the magic that falls on me with their solid shields.

　The human tigers and ogre soldiers who joined the front line late also joined in, and the front line is in a state of turmoil.

　The Master said - 'Overwhelm them with your individual strength.

　We have to win on our own. In other words, we can't afford to lose, even if it's under our command.

You understand?
Yes. Lady Chloe.

　I call out to the Dark High Elves under my command.

　The Dark High Elves and I follow up with a flurry of arrows as my men fight unthinkingly on the front lines. The goblin's axe swung at the Ogre Soldier is played with a bow and arrow, the featherworm (pixie) that uses magic in the rear is pierced with a bow and arrow, and the axe swung at Blue... that guy doesn't avoid it on his own.

　I will follow my men as I watch the battle situation.

　Even though they are vulnerable and lowly subordinates, their owner is - the Demon King Theon. In that case, I'll do my best to protect them. Because those who defile the master's property don't need any mercy at all.

　I will continue to fire my bow and arrow at the insolent goblins and pixies.


　Half an hour later.

　The destruction of all the lowly trash was complete.

　

　Thinking of my master in the distance, I march deep into the forest to fulfill my mission.

(Theon's perspective)

It's going well.
You're doing well.

　Lina's unit and Chloe's unit were both advancing to the second level, and the second level, the forest terrain continued to be the same as the first level.

　The enemy's skill level was low as expected. The prediction that they could win an overwhelming victory with the power of an individual was correct.

　However.........

''It's a long way to go...''
There are nine levels of Demon King Arisa's domain.

　We need to control all of the 12 control areas that consist of 9 levels to annihilate Demon King Arisa's forces, although there's a good chance that we'll be able to encircle Demon King Arisa before we control all 12... but we still have a long way to go.

''Is there any way to roast Demon King Arisa?　I call myself the chief of staff.
Wha--?　A reluctant word in front of the chief of staff.........well, no.
You don't have it?
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As the chief of staff, I'm advising you to take these words.
Doesn't that make sense for a chief of staff?

　In the end, he couldn't come up with a good idea and directed the invasion through steady, repeated mapping.


　◆


　It was the fifth day since the invasion of Demon King Alisa's controlled territory began.

　Lina's troop had advanced to the 6th level, and Chloe's troop had advanced to the 5th level.

　The policy is to kill the enemy by sight (Search and Destroy). Steady mapping, repeatedly going back and forth from the entrance to the controlled area while cutting down the Demon King Alisa's forces. The damage here is still zero. It was a modest strategy, but if we were in the opposite position, we would have continued the stress-max invasion.

'Congratulations on your level up!
Thank you.

　It's only a small amount of experience gained from the military, but every bit of dust is a mountain. My level has grown to 9.

''Are you still saving BP?
''That's right. Currently, I don't feel the need to wield it for [Physical] or [Magical] power.

　The road to getting [Creation] or [Alchemy] to A was endlessly far away. At the shortest possible time, he needed to grow to level 15.

''After level 5, there's no benefit to leveling up, is there?''
Well, it's possible to grow a [body] or magic power, though.

　The amount of BP needed to grow [Physical] or [Magical Power] from D to C is 5. In other words, growing it would delay the growth of [Creation] or [Alchemy] to A by one level, and growing it from C to B would require 10 BP. Then the path to A is even further away.

'It's more of a specialized type than a balanced type, right?　However, the knowledge-specialization is--
"Wawa?　Do you still want to say that?　But with my knowledge I know that it takes 50 BP to grow from B to A. Oh?

　My words are interrupted and canon rolls up fast.

　In fact, one aspect of Kanon's knowledge is a big help to me. I have no intention of going out of my way to put that into words, though.

　When the level reaches 15, which one should be grown to A, [Creation] or [Refinement]?

　While thinking about the distant future, I watched the unchanging view of the forest projected on my smartphone.
