Day before yesterday. In other words, it was the first day I went to work after I decided to become a general strategist.　
　I went out after Mr. Markosias to greet many of the demons as well.
　It didn't go as favorably and smoothly as with Mr. Markosias, but there were some who were willing to sign up, some who wanted to show me their power, and some who said they would judge me after seeing how I worked.
　None of them were wrong, it was just a difference of opinion. I agree with all of them.
　By the way, the ones who signed up for the contract were the first layer's floor boss, [Hell's Watchdog] Naberius and his subordinate, [Invisible Murderer] Grasshara Ballas, and the second layer's floor boss, [Dead Spirit Leader Brave General] Kimaris and his second in command, [Dark Scar Hunter] Lerager.
　The four of them have generally the same motive as Markosias-san, in other words, they want a rematch to the Fenix Party.
　Basically, along with the demon's dungeon name, what is represented by the '[ ]' is the race. However, if the dungeon certifies the monster as having the strength of a floor boss, it will be given an individual name.
　For example, if we were to describe Mira-san as a demon, she would simply be 【Vampire】 or 【Vampire】 Carmilla, but in reality she is often referred to as 【Vampire Queen】 Carmilla.
　As an adventurer, I welcome the name of the demon because it is more exciting for the adventurers to have a strong enemy, and it gives them a foil when they defeat it, so I actively touch on it in the delivery videos.

　[Vampire Queen] Carmilla defeated!　The leader of the werewolves] He dies under the sword of Markosias!　And so on.

　It is similar to describing 【Brave man】 as 【Brave man of fire】 or 【Brave man of ice】.
　Anyway, you stimulate the image with the name. On the other hand, it's hard to get an image of strength for rare races, so we use names to describe what kind of enemy we have.
　I can name them too. The Demon King is working on it now.
　Now, the demon I'm dealing with right now is named 【Demon of Love Affair】, and its dungeon name is Citry.
　She was the only Four Heavenly King who was absent when I was first invited to the Demon King's Castle's conference room.
　She has eyes reminiscent of the cat family and pink hair. She is petite and has a small face, and looks like a girl in her early teens. The hair tied into twin-tails also made her look young.
　Mira-san rarely tried to get me to meet a female demon, but she did let me meet Sitri-san, and she didn't particularly intervene during our conversation.
　Citry-san didn't seem to think too well of my appointment as a chief of staff, and she regretted that the position closest to the Demon King-sama had been changed from the Four Heavenly Kings to a chief of staff.
　That's how much [Demon King] Lucy-san is adored.
　When she looked at me, she said sulkily, "It's not pretty," and went to her subordinate.
　Well, it's weird to be trusted all of a sudden.
　All in all, things are going too well.
　My charge was still on the tenth level.
　But in addition to being the floor boss of the tenth layer, I was also assigned another task.
　It's - well, I have to concentrate on the screen now.
　I look at the coffee shop filled with maids.
　She and her men defeat adventurers in a way that is not often seen in dungeon attacks.

　◇

　From the moment I walked into the room, I had a strange sensation.
　And that sweet smell. A scent that puts a blur on my thoughts and makes it impossible to think about difficult things.

''Eh, is that a magic sword?　Wow, I've never seen that before! Can I touch it?

　One maid approaches Alba.
　Normally, Alba would not allow the enemy to approach so easily, but for some reason, there is no caution.

''Huh?　 You don't mind?

　What a foolish - no, 'fascination'!
　If you look closely, all of the maids have upward-facing horns sprouting from their sides, bat-like wings sprouting from near their waists, and tails with arrowhead-like tips.
　If you're not strongly aware of them, they don't make an impression.
　
　The classification is complicated, and since the thinking power of the person you cast it on decreases, it's like black magic, and it's the nature of white magic to make you feel uplifted.
　However, it is questionable whether a spell that makes an opponent fall in lust and think they are in love with you is a buff/debuff, and this has been debated for many years. Some have called it ash magic because it's complex?
　It seems that when humans and demons were fighting each other, it was classified as black magic, but in the modern era, [Dream Demons] rarely appear in dungeons in the first place.
　There are times when they can be seen in dungeons called 'Neta Dungeons' that attract attention for their extreme employment and structure, but they usually don't.
　There are a number of reasons for this, but the bottom line is that it's not for all ages.
　What the world is looking for is excitement, excitement and exhilaration. Some seek the heat of battle, and some prefer horrible monsters, but the basic idea is to make it easy to understand and cool.
　The charm is easy to understand and exposes their unattractive appearance, the charm doesn't reach the other side of the screen and leaves the viewer behind, the only screen change caused by enemy attacks is the mating of the heroic party, which is unbearable to watch, and most importantly, it's a far cry from the "battle against the monsters" that is commonly imagined.
　These women do not like to hide their faces. As long as their beautiful faces are exposed, regardless of their race, they will always look like heroes attacking beautiful women.
　Because of the above reasons, there was no demand for them, and dungeons were less and less likely to hire 【Memons】.
　However, that meant that they would be troublesome if they actually came out.
　Although 【Warrior】's offensive power and mobility was its strength, its magic resistance was low.
　It was not unreasonable for Alba to be the first one in the party to be 'charmed'.

　--This is bad, there is no [White Mage] in this party.

　There were so many beautiful women that filled the large store, the 'fascination' that was unleashed.
　It looks like a group of beautiful women are only approaching while smiling, but we were in a tight spot.
　Beulah and I are brave enough to resist because we are 【Brave Men】, but even so, there is something that stings. If you don't have a strong heart, you're likely to go along with the invitation regardless of whether you're attacking or not.
　I'm not going to be able to get it right.
　Lark is on the verge of dropping his shield, and Lily doesn't even hold her bow.
　The fight is separate from the combat ability.
　Furthermore, [Dream Demon] is also an advantageous existence in modern dungeon defense.
　We all use our magic body (avatar) to capture and defend against them.
　The magical body (avatar) is made of magical power.
　And the vitality and spirit that 【Dreamer】 inhales from the human under its control refers to magic power.
　If it's in a human state, the magic power inside the body is only slowly sucked out.
　If the entire body is absorbed (drained) by the magic body (avatar) made of magic power, the body itself will collapse.

You can use this.........this........is.........a teleprompter.......to.........................use it.　

　Lark still seems to have managed to retain some awareness of the dungeon attack.
　The Bureau certainly won't be happy about this. They might protest to the Demon King's Castle later. But we are the ones who decided to attack the layer whose contents have not been revealed.
　As long as they are in, they should aim for victory and put aside the question of how they will be received by the audience.
　As expected of a demon of the Demon King's Castle, it seems to be able to absorb (drain) from a distance.
　Although it is less efficient than direct contact, there are still a lot of them.
　Since you can't even cover for them, is it optimal to quickly evacuate all the enemies?

''........Ah, Fenix-san. I'll take care of it. I just wanted the right time to show off my rookie status.

　Beulah, who is a 【Brave Man】 like me, advanced.
　I nodded as if to allow it, that moment.

Several small screams went up, "E", "Kya", "Na--

　And soon all the enemies were trapped inside the icicle.

''..........Great deployment power.

　The maids that filled the large store were frozen in place, one by one, sometimes several of them together.
　The other three are still in a daze, wondering if there are still lingering effects of fascination.
　They will be back to normal soon. They're not in a great deal of disarray, but they should be vulnerable.
　You'd better be careful about what damage you do in the future.

''I'm reducing the amount of magic power I can put into each one. That way, they'll be less powerful, but they'll deploy faster, and we'll have the numbers ready.

　If you are 13 years old, that means three years since you got the [position (job)].
　You can graduate from an adventurer training institution's course in roughly three years, so it's almost fresh out.
　Although he still has a soft spot for manipulating magic power, I could say he was a promising 【Brave Man】.

''I don't know how good the last time [Black Mage] was, but I'll try to make it easier to understand and more useful than you. Because that's probably what's required. I hope I can make up for the fact that she's not a beautiful woman in terms of her face with her abilities.

　Get rid of the [Black Mage] and let in the [Brave Man]. The reason is that everyone knows why.
　Strengthening the war effort and popularity.
　What was surprising was that Reme didn't assume that he was kicked out due to incompetence.
　Béla laughed in self-mockery, as if she could see what Fenix meant by the look in his eyes.
　Then she opened her mouth.
