And so, two people who should be called the stars of the previous era have taken up residence in our Lax Village.

　Lady Granberza and Mr. Alanziel.

　They are now enjoying a party at our house.

'Kanpai,'
Cheers!
''Ka, Kanpai........?

　Two arch-enemies sharing a drink, if the people involved at the time saw it, they would think their eyes had gone crazy and try to gut it out and replace it.

　But the scene in front of me is true.

　By the way, it is sandwiched between these two legendary people, saying in a thin voice, ''Ka, Kanpai.......? The third person who is saying in a thin voice is Marika's father.
　He is the former village chief who is now a full-time guild master.
　In other words, my father-in-law.

"Why am I here...?　Isn't this totally out of place...?

　I'm sorry about what you said in a shaky voice.
　It's just that I'm too anxious to let those two drink alone!

What do you mean?　You are Dariel's father, too!
'Let us all drink and bond with each other, Dariel's father!

　If you ask me, it is true.

　Mr. Aranzir (my biological father), Marika's father (Alexandria), and Lady Granberza (my adopted father).

　Three of my fathers rallying together?

　As an orphan, it's a bizarre scene for me, but it's so bizarre that I can't take my eyes off of the current village chief's job because it's too bizarre.

'....Yes, Dariel was about six years old at the time, wasn't he?　I was still trying to hold on even though I was crying because my magic training wasn't going well.... ''How many times have I almost called out to you, 'It's all right now...'...!
'Good!　That's the kind of memories I wanted to have with my son!　And yet you took everything away from me, demon race conch!

　It's very painful to see the elderly people drinking with my memories as a snack?
　It's embarrassing.
　What's the punishment for this?

"...I originally came here to apologize to Dariel.

　Something about Master Granberza's drunken monologue began!

'Dariel grew up to be a really capable man, but on the contrary, my own son was a ridiculous boner.... That stupid son of yours has caused Dariel a lot of trouble. He apologized to Dariel on his behalf, and if he could, he wanted him to return to the Demon King's Army...

　But.

I knew it was a long shot. Dariel is now living a new life here. You have finally carved out a life for yourself as a human being, so why should you return to the Demon King's Army?　Dariel will be happy here...!
It's Grand Barzah.
Arantziel...
You and I have fought many times. It was you who raised Dariel to be such a fine man. No one can deny that achievement.

　Longtime enemies have been reconciled with me as their starting point...!

Malika.
What's going on, Anita?
'I can't take it anymore!　Give me your tits!

　I said and buried myself in my wife's chest.
　I endured this incomprehensible situation by indulging my wife.

''I shall return to the demon territory as it is. It's enough for Dariel to live and live a full life...!
"I, too........have no idea what kind of relationship I should have with my son, whom I haven't seen in thirty years......but it's still better than the rest of my life, which is nothing. I am finally free from a life filled with nothing but hatred........!
From now on, I won't be an enemy.
As the father of Dariel...!
Come visit us in person.

　We kind of hit it off.
　Even now, these two men are enemies who drove each other to the brink of death.
　Are you sure it's going to be this easy?

May I have some time off now?

　Sorry, stepfather!
　I'm sorry to put you in between such big names!

''........So, Dariel. I'm going to have to leave now. It's really good to see your fine face.
What?　You're going home already?

　I was confused about a lot of things, but I was genuinely happy to see Master Granbaza again.
　Wouldn't you like to stay behind and talk about the accumulation?

"As much as I'd like to relax, I have a lot of things to do back home.
Oh no, Master Grandfather has already retired and has plenty of time on his hands, don't he?
I always thought so. My son's folly is picking up more and more of my time than I care to admit.
''..........?

　The current Four Heavenly Kings, Bashvaza-sama.
　You are also the one who fired me, but do you really do that many things?

"I will return to the Demon King's Castle and present my case to the Demon King so that he can dismiss Bashvaza from his post. The Fourth Heavenly King is not a seat so light that a bumbling, incompetent person can sit in it.

　Is Bashbursa-sama's system that stalled?

　Ever since I was dismissed from the Demon King's Army, I've had little insight into the situation on the other side.
　There were bits and pieces of information that came through, but for the most part, it was all about the blunders they made with respect to Lord Bashbursa and the complaints they received from the various parties involved.

　However, I didn't know that his position had become so bad that he was forced out of his position as the Fourth Heavenly King....

''Granbaza-sama, I'm sorry for your feelings.
No, it's all my fault for not raising my own son properly. I suppose it's not my upbringing that brought you up so well, but rather your bloodline.
''Oh no...?

　Granberza-sama, at least, trained many other new recruits besides me and raised them to be strong and elite.

　It's just that Bashburza-sama didn't have any outstanding prospects.
　
　It's hard to comment on the complicated relationship!

''It looks like the Demon King's army has some troublesome circumstances as well.

　Aranzir-san naturally enters the conversation.

''I heard that the Demon King's army used the opportunity of the decisive battle with me to renew the face of the Four Heavenly Kings. I heard that they had achieved a generational change, but I didn't expect that they were in such a mess. ........However, may I say a word?
What is it?
'I don't suppose you'd like to say that in front of us?

　You're right.

　Not only is Aranziel, the previous brave man, but even the current Radie is here, and he has heard the current conversation perfectly.

　It's true that talking about the ugliness of one's own troops in a place where the enemy can hear is certainly not an unfair way to avoid being accused of being careless, but.......

I don't mind.

　Lady Granberza did not mean it.
　He just said that it was the behavior of a big man not to be concerned with small things.

''Anyway, soon enough, the foolish man will be dismissed from the Four Heavenly Kings and a new one will be selected. It's no wonder that if the head of the demon king's army were to be replaced, the news would be so big that it would reach the human domain, and there's no point in hiding it.

　It's just a matter of whether it's slow or fast to get the word out, he said.

'But a change of command in any form creates confusion and a vacuum. Wouldn't it be bypassing that gap to teach the Muzza enemy about it?
'That's why there are four Heavenly Kings. While my son is flailing about, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Earth, Doroye, are guarding Lasperda Fortress. As long as she's alive and well, the Demon Territory will be safe and sound.
How about that Rasperda Fortress?
It's one of our fondest memories. Since it was a vital part of the brave men's invasion of the Demon Army, we fought over it many times.
It's been a long time...

　There is a lot of talk about scary memories.

　It's true that the current Four Heavenly Kings are all anxious people, but among them, Master Droyer of the Fertile Ground is the only one I can trust.
　Perhaps he remembers the advice I gave him when I was still in the Demon King's Army, and although his stance of single-mindedly defending Lasperda Fortress is monotonous, it's the least accurate I can think of.

　I'm sure that even now, when the brave man, Reedy, is training here, he is still sitting in the Rasperda Fortress.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea. But we can't put the burden on her. That's why we must quickly remove those who are unworthy of the title of Four Heavenly Kings and choose someone else to support Droyer.

　High praise for Master Droyer from Lady Granberza.

　Well, I can understand.
　In the short time I was the Assistant to the Four Heavenly Kings, I was also able to feel his 'being better than the other three' painfully.

''I understand........!

　Furthermore, the one who was in on the conversation was surprisingly an active hero, Radie.

''I've suffered a lot from Droyer, too,'' he said.

　Oh, I see.
　Come to think of it, she's the one who's an active hero, and she should be the one who feels the power of Droyer-sama, right?
　After all, she would be fighting directly.

No, we can't even lose. She's going to be thoroughly defensive...
He's got a good grasp on the battlefield.

　Master Granberza said calmly.

''For the Demon King's army, the only way to win is to keep Lasperda Fortress from being surrendered. He is well aware of this, and is thoroughly avoiding a game of "ride or flight". With his youth, he must have a strong desire to display his spectacular victory. But his steadfastness in suppressing that and defending himself is extraordinary.

　The praise of Droyer-sama from his enemies is too high.
　I doubt that he ever dreamed of being praised so highly.

　Even now, he must be wondering when a brave man will come to the fortress of Lasperda.

"Now that I've been given the title of brave, I'm determined to defeat Droyer and break through Lasperda Fortress.
We demons know that this is the duty of a brave man.
To strengthen that resolve, I'd like to hear from both of you who have gone before me.

　Radey looked around at not only Lady Granberza, but also at his own predecessor, Mr. Alanziel, and said.

''Tell me. Why does the brave man have to defeat the Demon King?
