"Analyze.

　In a reasonably large hut, I was facing one of the demons.
　However, it's not that they are hostile. Rather, it's a demon that faithfully follows my orders. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this, because there are no demons that are hostile to me in the forest centered on this elven forest.
　The demon in front of me - it is a Gorgon.

　This is the demon that says, "If you make a human female 50% taller and have all her long hair as a snake, this is what you will get.
　It is undeniable that she is a beautiful woman in terms of her appearance, but unfortunately, no matter how beautiful she is, her charm is reduced by half when she has snake hair. A snake with wavy hair, wriggling as if it had a will of its own, is indeed unpleasant.
　Such a Gorgon is looking at me with lifeless eyes. Incidentally, the story that when their eyes meet like this, they turn to stone may be famous among adventurers, but it doesn't work on me. It's just that the magic eye of petrification only works on things that are lower level than you.

''Hmmm....

　Such a translucent string of text floating in front of my eyes.
　It's something I've done many times before, simply showing information about Gorgon. It's getting tiresome and disgusting, but it can't be helped because no one else can do it but me.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. By the way, there is a long line of people outside this meeting place.

　Name: none.
　Occupation: gorgon level 39
　skill
　Predatory snake level 39.
　Petrified Demon Eye Level 39
　Gymnastics level 30.
　Dark magic level 21
　Enchantment level 13.

　Yeah.
　He's rather strong among my friends. By the way, the first place goes to Puppy, who is level 66, and the second place goes to Milo, who is 48. Bau has improved a lot, but he's still at the bottom of the list.
　As expected, there is no one who follows Puppy in the demon world. Or rather, there's no way they would follow him, even though they're stronger than the Puppies.
　Overall, I have the impression that the level is hovering between 30 and 40.

''Okay, then, take a knee there.

....

　Gorgon is silent and kneels down according to my words.
　The way he doesn't speak is a reminder that he is a 'thing' as Puppy calls it. I guess the idea of exchanging words with me doesn't exist in the first place.
　Demons are just puppets that are simply following the demon king's order to 'kill humans' - Puppy said that, and that is certainly true. It's easy to forget because Puppy and Milo smell too human in vain, but demons are essentially something that is never compatible with humans.

"Well,

....

Follow me.

　And me, against a gorgon who kneels like that.
　I press down my middle finger with my thumb and shoot it toward my forehead with a recoil - the so-called "deco-pin".
　With a pop, my finger is popped with a sound that is typical of a deco-pin, and with that, the Gorgon is on its back. The high level of body art is such that even a deco-pin can be a fatal wound.
　The Gorgon falls slowly.
　As it was - with a dull glowing collar on its neck, it got up.

　With emotion in its eyes, which did not exist until a moment ago.

'Thank you, Master.'

Yes. From now on, do whatever you have to do.

"I pledge my allegiance, master. And therefore....

Yeah, I'll give you a name.

　I wonder how many times we've had this exchange.
　It's the reason I rent this remote meeting place. It's a kind of ritual where I make them die one by one and pledge their allegiance in front of me.
　It's a wonder why, when the chains of servitude are bound, they take on emotions, language and humanity. It's also different for each of them, with different personalities and so on.

'Your name is Ananda,'

Thank you for the happiness, master. I will do my best to crush you, Ananda.

Yeah, yeah. You don't have to do anything for now. Ask Gilanka outside for the rest.

Yes, sir.

　With his back to me, Gorgon - Ananda walks out of the hut.
　And as Ananda leaves, the next demon comes in, which is what I've been doing every day lately. I haven't been doing it for that long, though, because it's hard for me to stay focused.

　First of all, I've decided to put the 15,000 demons that follow me under my direct control.
　It's not that I'm thinking of the Puppies going against me or anything. It's just that by making them under my direct control, I'm giving them intelligence and humanity. We thought it would be better to have more people who could think for themselves and act according to their own ideas, rather than just standing around as puppets if I didn't give them any orders.
　However, I killed the first few puppets by misjudging their strength.
　Since then, I've been trying to analyze them first to see how much they can take before I do it. Thanks to that, the recent success rate has been decent.

''Huh.......how many more of them are there?

Master, you still got 1,000 more fish to go. That's a long way from 15,000.

Seriously I need to take a break.

　There is still some magic power left. The 《Analysis》 is not a magic that consumes so much.
　However, there is something that comes to me mentally. It's like a punishment game that never ends for any length of time.

''It can't be helped, master.

But, you know...

Mostly, it was your husband who said it. This is the only way to protect the elven homeland.

Well, yeah, that's true.

　The two S-ranked adventurers, Randy and Shelly, got away with it.
　For some reason, Drake has become one of them, but the fact that he was run away by them doesn't change that. And the fact that they are adventurers with an urgent quest from the country means that they have the right to make a statement to the country.
　If so, I will definitely tell them. I'm going to tell them about the existence of this hidden village of elves and the existence of me, the servant of the dragon.
　That is why I have decided.
　I've decided to protect this elven hideout, which I have chosen as my second home.

Well, we can't replace it. Well, we can't replace you.

Shut up, Milo doesn't need to tell me that.

That's great. I don't have any experience with it, though.

　Gyahaha," laughs Milo, who is in the hut with me for some reason.
　By the way, the reason we are together like this is so that Miro can also assess the quality of our companions. Although the high level of strength is the standard for strength, there are more than a few degrees of variation there as well.
　The low level strong demons and the high level weak demons, the former can be stronger than the latter. That's why we have Milo here to give us such advice. In terms of knowledge, it could have been Puppy, but Puppy didn't fit inside this hut in the first place due to his size.

　But anyway, now it's time to lay the groundwork.
　More friends who can think for themselves and walk with them.
　That's what I need to do from now on.
　In order to protect my home.

We're going to build a country, so that's what we have to do.

Well, you know.

　I will create a country where demons and elves can coexist.
　That's the only way to protect this land in my way of thinking.
