Dariel!　You idiot!　You're heartless!

　It was a Zebiantes bastard when he suddenly cursed me out of the blue and I wondered what it was.

''Droyer-chan has been working so hard to ask for help, but he's too vexed!　It's okay to be a little more considerate.
'Maybe so, but...'

　...even if it might be.

'I don't want you to be the only one to say that!　Who do you think is responsible for me getting fired from my last job?
It was that a**h*le in Bashbursa!　Absolutely!　You must insist that I was not responsible for it!
It's your fault, too!

　Didn't you hear what I said earlier!

　I'm not a saint, so I'll hold a certain amount of grudge for being unreasonably dismissed.
　I'll remember that part.

'But that doesn't mean it's a pity that it's going to be so hard on Droyer-chan, who has worked so hard to get here.
Ugh.........?

　How dare you try to argue with me, even though you're a Zebiantes.

　It's true.
　You can't bear to put the blame for Bashbarza's actions on her, even if it's joint responsibility.
　It's the only person who has worked so diligently and diligently among the incompetents.

''........Okay, okay. You can't go back to the Demon King's Army, but if you have any problems, you can come to me. I'll at least give you some advice.
''Really?!''

　Droyer's expression, which had been sinking into disappointment, suddenly became brighter.

　
　The instantaneous cashiness........?

"I can't reveal the inner workings of the human side, but if it's just general tactical instructions, it won't matter how much I give you. As expected, it's a pity that she's the only one to bear the responsibility.

　If you get crushed and overworked or something, you won't be able to wake up in your sleep.

'But still!　Thank God!　That's exactly the kind of tactical support I was looking for!　Nothing would be more reassuring than to have you as a consultant!
"Yes, yes, yes........?

　Was Droyer ever this aggressive person?
　When I was the Deputy to the Four Heavenly Kings, he seemed much cooler...?

"He's been working in the fortress for so long that he's become mentally ill. He's having mood swings from time to time.
Hard work is taking its toll on you after all, isn't it?

　Watch out!
　This woman was on the verge of chafing!

　We have to make sure that we take good care of you now!

''It's a little late now, Dariel, but I finally understand the preciousness of the person you are, now that you are lost. The Four Heavenly Kings lack the ability to accurately manage a group of people called an army. I can say that you are utterly useless.

　Is it a sign of emotional instability to repeat what we've talked about before?
　But it's important, so can I remind you?

'Perhaps the people were chosen with the expectation that we would rely on Dariel for all those abilities. We were naive enough to be of no use without Dariel. It can be said that Dariel was the fifth Four Heavenly King...!
No, no.........?

　You don't say that often.
　So that's what you were thinking about.

"At this point in time, I need you to teach me as much as you can. We, the Four Heavenly Kings, must learn the etiquette of war...!
Well, I've already been taught that.
What?!

　Zebiantez's careless remark made him lose his temper.

No way!　Who knew so much about the structure of the Rasperda fortress and suggested an efficient security posture?　Did Dariel tell you to warn me?
Nah-ha-ha-ha-ha, I can't help it if I'm caught red-handed. Yes, I've been acting as if the things I learned from Dariel were my idea.
''This guy!''

　Droyer was right to lose his temper.

''Tell me!　How long have you been discovering Dariel?
That's a long time ago, isn't it?
You mean you've been in contact with him for that long?　Why didn't you tell me this right away?　You knew I was searching so hard for Dariel!
I suppose that's why I enjoyed watching you search so hard.
''This oh-oh-oh?''

　Mr. Dolorier.
　I don't think she's going to have much luck.

　I'm going to do everything I can to help you.

I'll tell you everything I know, I'll help you.... In the meantime, I'll keep the intelligence network we have hidden in human territory open for you to use as well.

　It was originally built for the Demon King's Army's intelligence operations, but it was forced to stop working as soon as I was fired.

　The other day I resurrected it with my own money.

　The reason for this is to gather useful information for the development of Lax Village.

It was originally built for the Demon King's Army and I didn't want to use it without permission, but I heard that Bashbursa forcibly cut off the funds.

　I thought that if I'm going to pour my money into it, I'm willing to use it for my benefit (the benefit of Lux Village, to be precise).

''But, since the parent company is the Demon King's Army to begin with, you guys have no problem using it too.

　With the use of the intelligence network, we can grasp what's outside the visible range as if we could actually see it, and it will also serve as a guideline for our actions.

　Selmet, who is in charge of the intelligence personnel in the field, hates the current Four Heavenly Kings and seems to be more than willing to get into a fight with them, but I should be able to persuade him.

''Great...!　With that, we can find out what the brave man is up to...?
'Huh?　Yeah.........?

　It's impossible to say that there was a brave man here until recently.

I can't say that I was a brave man until recently.　That Droyer guy was holed up in his fortress because he didn't know when the heroes would attack!　Hilarious!

　Don't be funny.

　Radey has been devoting himself to training in Lax village these days and didn't even want to attack the fortress.
　The more I hear about it, the more I feel sorry for Droyer!

''........Oh, and just because I'm not here, there are plenty of other people in the Demon King's army who know about military know-how.　Don't you ever get close to those people and ask them to teach you a lesson?
..........

　Huh?
　What was that silence?

''The relationship between the Demon King's top brass and the Four Heavenly Kings is currently extremely difficult.

　Huh?

''The reason is Dariel, I fired you. That one incident shocked the entire Demon King's army more than I could have imagined. Major dark generals and dark knight chiefs issued a joint statement condemning the Four Heavenly Kings...

　And not only that, I heard that Bashbursa's reputation as the Four Heavenly Kings had been degraded by the entire Demon King's Army because of the many disgraceful acts he had committed during his life.

　It's really a series of Bashvaza disasters.

　Even though the guy in question is dead and Droyer is desperately working hard, it's not going to help restore trust in him.
　This is Droyer, who was originally unable to move from the Rasperda fortress to be on the lookout for brave men.

You're going to have to ask Granbaza-sama to stand between you and mediate. "You may be a stubborn old bastard, but you'll listen to your superiors' opinions.
"Do we really want to bother our great predecessors for our misdeeds?　That's exactly what I'm saying, we're going to lose face!

　Droyer's serious nature doesn't allow him to take an easy solution.

".........

　I let out a deep, deep sigh.
　It's hard to estimate Droyer's heartache, since this is what I'm hearing from someone else's side.

　Zeviantez, you have to be more careful.

''Well okay, I'll take care of it.

　I myself have a number of dark generals that I was close to when I was in the Demon King's Army.

　I'm discharged and irrelevant now, but it wasn't that long ago, and the faces in the upper echelon won't be that different.

　If I could write a letter to them and convince them, it might be a good starting point for them to open up.

'Dariel...!　I owe you...!

　Droyer clutched at me as if he was about to hug me.

　I'm sure he's had no one to rely on and has endured all this time on his own.
　I'm sure you can understand the hardships you've endured.

　I want to praise him for his hard work.

You've worked so hard, you've done a great job.

　Relatively speaking, my anger towards Zeviantes also rises.

''Anyway, from now on, I'll help you as much as I can...?''

　Looking at the way Droyer was fraying, that was all I could say.

　Does it matter where you stand?　I'm not worried about it, but we'll make it work.

　There's no way to make an offer when the Zebiantes have settled in anyway.

...No I didn't settle them in!
Why is this all of a sudden?

　I'm afraid of the habit.
