　I got an intelligence unit, and from that day on, the quantity and quality of information brought to me increased dramatically.

　Information is the most valuable thing in this world.

　I had told Hanzo the ninja to let me know if such a king existed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He seemed to agree with this opinion, but such a king could not be found so conveniently.

　Unfortunately, we will spend more time to find out the weak points of the kings around us.

The commander.

"If you want a commander, Hanzo, don't you have one?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A competent demon king would have a commander in his intelligence unit as well. And I am not a general. I can manage to gather information, but I won't be much use once the war begins.

　Her being made a commander would only be a negative.

　Then, Eve?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For a moment, I thought that she would be a good candidate, but she was not suited for rough work, although she was a cool-headed and calm judge of things.

　When I told Hanzo that it was not so easy to get heroic people in the first place, he smiled meaningfully.

"Dungeon?"

"There is a dungeon south of here called ."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, that's new."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I ask Eve if she knows, she shakes her head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that even a database like hers does not know everything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no doubt that Hanzo had been summoned and that he had created an intelligence unit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She concludes, but the question is, what is this dungeon called the Ash-Golden Ruins?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it is because of this expression on his face that Hanzo takes the initiative.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The ash-gold ruins are the remains of an ancient magical civilization.

"It has already been ransacked by neighboring adventurers. You won't find any relics of a magical civilization.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's too bad. Then what is the value of the ruins?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"In the ruins is the workshop of a certain sorcerer. The sorcerer in his workshop may have been studying other worlds and may have some castaways in his possession.

"I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Moreover, the flotsam is likely to be of ninja origin."

"So the hero we summon is the right person to head the intelligence unit."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hanzo nodded his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Once we hear such a story, we have no choice but not to go on a search. Now is a good time to move around, since there are no hostile demon kings.

　Then, without a pause, Eve, the maid, raises her hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master!　Please allow me to accompany you here!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The way she reached out with her hand was so beautiful that we adopted her.

　A taciturn and competent chief of the earth dwarves, he was the city planner of the castle of Ashtaroth and a competent administrator.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As long as he remained in the city, the administrative system would work without a hitch.

　The problem is the military officer we are taking with us. .......

"The Witch King, I've heard everything you have to say!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Clad in a white cloak, she was already in high spirits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She looked like a little girl just before going on a picnic.

"To tell you the truth, I can't help you if I stay here. I should go with you."

　As a domestic officer, Jeanne is honestly no better than Hijikata Toshizo.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her quick wit is also inferior to that of Toshizo.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed to me that the right thing to do would be to leave Hijikata as a protector and take Jeanne with him, but when I told him about it, he complained.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Toshizo heard about the dungeon search, he came to his office and asked Hijikata to take me with him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He thought that he should have stayed in the brothel, but he did not say anything and asked why.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've never been good at staying at home since I was a kid. Besides, I'm interested in this world of yours.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has a list of plausible reasons, but the bottom line is that this man is bored.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He probably thinks that fighting monsters in dungeons is more interesting than staying in a castle and training goblins and orcs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is a troubled man in a different sense from Jeanne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tried to persuade him to change his mind, but he was not willing to accept my offer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't want to be left at home every time. It's not fair. He only takes Jeanne with him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's a sign that you're relying on me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You should know what it's like to be on the receiving end. Anyway, it's me this time. Jeanne's not here. If you're taking Jeanne with you, give me an explanation.

　He says obscene things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you prefer the saint, I can't force you as a man to do so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Toshizo laughs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, I didn't let Jeanne do that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Toshizo knows that, but he thinks that if he doesn't use such an argument, he will be put in charge of her absence again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne, who could not tell whether she was angry or looking for affirmation, rattled off a few lines and then proposed this compromise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hijikata, it's just right. Let us decide who is the strongest warrior in the army of Ashtaroth. The best warrior will guard the Demon Lord. It makes sense.
