Dariel is banished from the Demon King's army and starts a second life in the village of the human race.
　What is happening in the Demon King's army that drove Dariel out at the same time?

◆

　The Demon King's Army is an army to protect the Demon King.
　The Demon King is a precious existence.

　It is said that the demon race can use magic by the blessing of the demon king.
　They can overpower other races by using the all-powerful power of magic.
　This is all because of the Demon King.

　That's why the demon race praises the king and is absolutely obedient to him.

　At the same time, they will fight back against the human heroes who attack the demon king with all their might.
　In order to protect the Demon King.
　To protect the supreme power of the demon race.
　For that reason, the Demon King's Army was organized.

　The Four Heavenly Kings are established as the top of the Demon Lord's Army.

　The four heavenly kings have been carefully selected as the best magicians of the demon tribe, and are entrusted with full power as the actual commander of the demon king's army.
　As is customary, the positions of the four major attributes of magic - earth, water, fire and wind - are assigned, and the strongest person of each attribute in each generation is appointed to the position.

　The current Four Heavenly Kings are the new generation who have just recently been replaced.

　The reason for this is that the previous Four Heavenly Kings had a fierce battle with the previous generation's heroes and ended up fighting each other.
　It was rare in the long history of the four Heavenly Kings that the four Heavenly Kings had changed faces at the same time.

　Within the Demon King's army, ''Is it okay with all these youngsters? There was also a widespread dissatisfaction that.

◆

''What do you mean!''

　One of the Four Heavenly Kings, Zebiantes of 'Huafu', tapped the table.
　His body was ravaged by wounds and bandages.

''I'm not listening!　I didn't hear that a brave man had added a new member to the group!
'So you've come home defeated and defeated...?

　Bashbarza, who is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings, said

　To the Demon King's army, the brave men who seek to defeat the Demon King are their nemesis.
　The most important duty for the Demon King's army was to fight off the brave men and protect the Demon King.

　Just as the Four Heavenly Kings were replaced, a new hero was born on the human side as well.

　That newcomer was also said to be one of the strongest and fiercest class of all time, so it was impossible for the Four Heavenly Kings alone to compete with him.
　They would go out to intercept him, but he would be repulsed and run back.

''Aren't you shameless, Zevia?　The name of the brilliant winder cries out for a human to fall behind?

　This was Bezalia, also of the Four Heavenly Kings 'Muddy Water'.
　She was hated by everyone else for her stubborn and sarcastic tone.

''So!　The reason I was so late is because of the new friends the brave men had with them!　O spearman who slips through the magic of the wind!　No matter how brilliant and powerful my wind magic is, it doesn't make me incompatible with it!
That's why I've come running back?

　Bashbarza sighed in frustration.

'Then I ask you, Zebiantes. That new-fangled spearman that the brave man said he had with him, why couldn't you have detected it beforehand?
"Ugh!
Inspecting the enemy's situation before a battle is the most basic thing. If we can determine that the enemy's forces are changing, we can do whatever we want, right?

　He did not do so, but charged in with ineptitude and fell right into the enemy's hands.
　It was an act of negligence worthy of punishment.

''It's........oh, it's that guy's fault!

　Zebiantes turned his gaze to the side in anguish.

''The new Assistant Four Heavenly King!　I left the reconnaissance to him, and it's his fault that we missed the spearman's presence!

　Outside of the round table surrounded by the Four Heavenly Kings, a young knight-like demon was shrinking.
　He was an assistant to the Four Heavenly Kings who had taken over for Dariel and was the folded elite that Bashbarza and the others preferred.
　It should be.........

''Hey.''

　Bashvaza's eyes flared up.
　The Elite Four Heavenly King's Assistant trembled as it was enough to make him shudder.

''You're fired. Get lost.''
"Hi!

　The elite assistant ran away.

We'll have to choose an assistant again...!
It's the incompetence that gets me in trouble.

　As a matter of fact, this is not the first time he's changed assistants.
　There was Dariel at the beginning, but since he was fired, they have replaced him four or five more times.
　If there is even the slightest fault, they are relentless in laying the blame.

Are you sure about that?
Hmm?
I'm asking if it's really the aide's fault that the failures keep coming up.

　This is what Droyer, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, has to say.
　Although she was the youngest of the four heavenly kings of the day, she was praised as a woman of talent for her ability to use earth attribute magic at will.
　Her ample breasts rested heavily on her folded arms.

What's that, Doroye?　Do you disagree with our decision?
No, I'm pretty sure he has a problem with the assistant.

　Droyer says in a wasteful manner.

'My first assistant ... Dariel was a thorough scout. He didn't just probe the enemy's situation, he examined and analyzed the information he obtained and even reported back to us with an idea of what action we should take.
....
Dariel is the only person I've ever fired who was such a good assistant.

　That's not all.
　At least Dariel had always done a more than perfect job in his position as an aide.

　There was never a time when supplies were held up, never a time when a question could not be answered.
　He was well versed in ancient and modern tactics and never missed a battlefield prediction.

　He even paid attention to the health care of the Four Heavenly Kings.
　In Droyer's personal experience, when he was unable to walk because of the moon's, it was Dariel who followed up with him without letting others know.
　I blush every time I recall it, but it was also a great help.

　Dariel was selected to be the assistant to the Four Heavenly Kings, even though he was the lowest-ranking dark soldier.
　This was not done by Bashvaza and the other Four Heavenly Kings of the day, but by their predecessors.
　Even after his predecessor retired, Dariel remained on the scene and continued to assist the newcomers, but the newcomer unceremoniously cut Dariel off.

　The value of a gem of a man who was loved like a pearl by his most powerful and renowned predecessor is lost and realized.

''Do not speak an unpleasant name...!

　However, Bashvaza in 'Ayan Fire' did not approve.

'Dariel is nothing more than a relic of the previous generation. And it's a piece of junk!　The previous generation had the imprudence to care about such an incompetent person, so they had to go toe-to-toe with a brave man. He has exposed his abomination!
His predecessors were some of the fiercest men of all time. And one of them was Bashvaza, your own father.

　Bashbarza gulped at the point from Droyer.

'This is not an unintentional disgrace to our predecessors. It is an act that diminishes your own worth as well.''
Shut up!　I am the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings!　You're going to argue with your leader?
....

　After coming to this point, Droyer couldn't bring himself to defend himself and closed his mouth.

　This man is too small.
　Droyer frankly assessed Bashbarza.

　How big that Dariel was in comparison to that.

　If there was a fault in him, it was that he couldn't use magic.

　It was a fatal fault for the demon race, but that was the only thing that Dariel could not do wrong.
　Even if it was only on par. If he was able to use magic.
　He himself might have become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, leading the Four Heavenly Kings and gaining an advantage in the battle against the brave men.

　Such foolish fantasies had been repeated many times in recent times by Droyer.

''Anyway, the problem now should be the brave men.

　''Yes, the real problem is urgent now.

''Even as we speak, the brave men are closing in on this Demon King's castle. I want to take the Demon King's life. How do you propose to stop him?

　Already "Huafu" Zebiantes has been defeated.
　One of the Four Heavenly Kings has crumbled.

''Who will go next?　Bezelia, what about you?
What?　Didn't I just get there the other day?
'Yes!　Even you have already been defeated by a brave man while talking big!

　To them, the enemy is huge.

　The previous Four Heavenly Kings who were called the strongest of all time.
　The previous generation of heroes even went toe-to-toe with their predecessors.
　I've heard that the current hero, who succeeded the predecessor, is already more powerful than the predecessor.

''You can't just pretend to be something you're not, can you?

　Droyer calmly expressed his opinion.

''We should intercept them with all four Heavenly Kings, not just one by one. Then we will finally have a chance to win.''
'Nonsense!　Droyer, have you no pride?

　Bashbarza retorted in a flash of color.

"Our four Heavenly Kings, the strongest of the demon tribe, will not take on all the lowly humans for a laugh!　I wouldn't have the gall to be so shameless!
"I just had a fight, too. I'd prefer not to go into battle until I've recovered from my wounds.
It's a pain in the ass, isn't it?

　Zebiantes and even Bezelia followed suit, and Droyer was left standing in the minority.

　The same was true when he fired Dariel.

　Droyer himself had appreciated the prowess of Dariel.
　He thought it would be a foolish act to let go.

　But when Bashbarza's dictate was joined by the approval of two others, the opposition of just her alone would not help.
　In the end, they had to agree in the end.

　Still, back then, Droyer was optimistic.
　Losing Dariel's accurate assistant was painful, but if the four people chosen as the strongest of the demon race were to unite, overthrowing the heroes would not be impossible.
　That was what I believed.

　Now I just have to admit that it was a naive outlook.

Yes, Doroye. I suggest you go. Now that the two Four Heavenly Kings have been defeated, you are the only third.

　Bashbursa is so carefree, it's almost like he's somebody else's problem.

"When you lose, it will be a good time for me, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, to go to war. I want you to do your best to stay out of my way.
Okay ... okay.

　Droyer stood up from his seat.
　It was a fruitless meeting of the Four Heavenly Kings.

　But even so, even Droyer was proud to have been selected as the Fourth Heavenly King.
　You can't take on the challenge with the intention of losing from the start.

"There's no way I'm going to disturb the Demon King's side. The name of Droyer, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Fertile Ground, I'll use it to stifle a brave man!

　What we need more than anything else to do that.
　His power, after all.

　Droyer thought honestly.
