The following four people are on their way to Arsenum, the new candidate capital of the Demon King's Army.


　Ike, the 8th Legion Commander.
　Luthrala, the 4th Legion Commander's Strangled Serpent.
　Uruk, the 5th Legion Commander's monocular demon.


　And Sati, the maid for some reason.

　It's only natural that Luthrara and Uruk would be their companions. I wanted to persuade them to join me and gain a majority of the pro-transition supporters at all costs.

　He was going to Arsenum to persuade these two to join him.

　But the reason for Satie's presence there was because of a crane quote from my former boss, Cephiro.


The recent wars have been going on, and you seem to be getting bored. "You seem to be bored with this," she says. And not just on the bed.


　Cephiro raises his little finger along with the word "kore".
　And the series of words that follow.

　If it were a previous life, it would be a problematic statement that could be accused of s*xual harassment, but unfortunately, the word s*xual harassment doesn't exist in this other world.

　The Demon King's Army is advanced and freedom of speech is guaranteed.

　That's why I'm here, along with the irony.
You sound like an old man or an old lady.
　He could have returned it, but he defended himself by silence.

　However, if Cephiro said that to me, I would have to take Sati with me.

　I could be stubborn here and leave Sati behind, but if I did so, it was as if I was affirming that Sati was my lover.

　If I was innocent, then I should take Sati with me and be magnanimous.
　Besides, Cephiro had a point.

　Although she is not a mistress, Satie is an important maid.
　The recent days of continuous warfare have reduced my chances of being in contact with her.

　This means that I miss her a lot, and I have fewer opportunities to enjoy the delicious tea she makes me.

　In this case, it would not be a bad idea to ask her to accompany you and pour you a cup of tea during your journey.

　Besides, there's no danger in traveling from the royal capital of Lisas to the trading city of Arsenum.
　In the meantime, it's all in the Demon King's military territory.
　There would be no problem if I left with Satie.
　When I told Sati about this, her eyes shone like a star in the night sky.
　She never dreamed that she would be able to accompany him on his journey.
　She exclaims in surprise.

''Master, is it really okay for Sati to accompany you as well?''

I don't mind. I'd rather have you come along for the ride.

　It's the real deal. Her roasted tea and her home-cooked food is a skill that would make those court cooks run away barefoot.

''But Lilith-san said that it's dangerous and that Satie and others would only slow you down...''

...Did he say something so mean?

　Perhaps, though, the Lilith guy baked a cake and blew such a lie into Sati.

　That girl would lie flatly if it was to separate me from Sati.
　-- or maybe she would do it even if she didn't.

　Anyway, Lilith told Satie.

'A little lass like you going back and forth between the newly-occupied Reezus and Arsenum isn't like smearing fish paste all over your body and throwing it into a herd of cats. You're an idiot.

　He is said to be blowing it in.

'I thought for sure that Satie would be staying behind, as the journey to Arsenum would be a dangerous one.

''Well, it's true that the area between Reezus and Arsenum has only recently become the territory of the Demon King's army. We've only just established control of it, and there's a high probability of bandits and fallen warrior hunters.

I knew it.

　Sati draws back a leaking smile and winces.

'Under normal conditions, it's not too far for a woman to travel alone, but for now.

...So you're still going to stay at home with Satie then?

You didn't start this. You said you'd be coming with me on this trip.

But isn't it dangerous?

Well, to say it's dangerous is an understatement, but there's nothing wrong with it.

'Yes, your master will protect you, as he always does.

''That's part of it, but this time the leader of the Fourth Legion, Luthrara, and the Uruk of the Fifth Legion are coming with us. There are three major leaders of the Demon King's army with us.　If there are bandits out there that would attack me for that, I'd like to see it.

　I look like an undead man wearing a skeleton mask and the robes of an immortal king, Luthrara is a strange demon with a snake underneath, and Uruk is a giant with a huge frame of several meters and a single eye.

　I'd like to see if anyone would try to rob them of their money and goods from the sight of them.
　If such an idiot existed, that would be very interesting.


　The bandit who will be extinguished by my magic power.
　The bandit strangled by Luthrara's tail.
　The bandit being turned into minced meat by the hulking body of Uruk.


　When I say it's worth watching, I mean it's worth watching.
　The image of a bandit group being crushed in the blink of an eye comes to mind.
　However, he wouldn't let Satie see such a barbaric scene.

　In fact, on the road from Reezus to Arsenum, we were not attacked by the remnants of Rosalia, let alone the bandits.

　As they approached the town of Arsenum, they looked at the two legion leaders once again.
　Both Luthrara and Uruk have the appearance of a demon race among demons.
　It's true that I don't feel the urge to attack these two when I see them.
　The deformed appearance frightens humans, but if you think about it the opposite way, it can be useful.
　With this in mind, I entered the free city of Arsenum, accompanied by Sati.
