You need three things to build a country. The first is the land. The second is the people who live in the country. And lastly, the law.

'No, first of all, I need to correct a lot of things about whether or not I'm the Demon King.

''Haha. If Noah-sama is not the Demon King, then who is the Demon King? It may be a virtue of Noah to be humble, but too much humility can be taken as sarcasm. At the very least, you'll have to behave as the Demon King in front of our men, or else you'll be in trouble.

You're the communication challengers, aren't you?

　I thought you had more common sense.
　What should I do to stop them from thinking of me as a demon king? I'm sure the people in the elven village think I'm a demonslayer.
　The most trusted and loyal members of the team that I have to trust, who are loyal to me, are completely mistaken.

''Oh, boy.''

What the hell, Pappy, I'm gonna hit you!

Did I need to get a slap on the wrist just to talk to you?

　'Shut up, I'm in a bad mood.

'I don't mind being called the Demon King.

Okay, okay, I'll hit him.

First listen to me before you hit me. I haven't told you anything.

....

　Certainly, these are the words of a perfectly honest puppy.
　It's your job as a master to listen to your subordinates and not assume that they don't have anything good to say anyway.
　Well, if he didn't say anything good, I'd punch him anyway. That's good, it looks like he's not going to die. You can heal yourself with 《heal》.

If you were to make a kingdom out of this place...

Yes.

'What will then be the people who dwell in that country? A nation will be what it is because of the people who live there.

Well...it's going to be mainly demons. It'll be under my control.

Hmm. And then there's the rest of the elves, I suppose.

　I guess so.
　In the meantime, the home of the elves has been exposed, and I will have to protect it. The elves can become a part of my country and I can protect them by giving them shelter.
　That's why the people I'm going to create are going to be elves and demons. Well, there are only about fifty elves. And there are 15,000 demons.

So you'll be the king of the demon kingdom.

Yes.

Isn't that what people call the Demon King?

....

　.........
　................................
　.........

　Oh no, what to do, I can't think of anything to argue.
　It's true that the king of the demon country is the demon king. I'm only a demon user by profession, and my position would make me a complete demon king. From the perspective of other countries, that's a fact for sure.
　No matter how you look at it, Puppy's words are correct. You're a Puppy.

''If it's a name you can't escape from anyway, get used to it while you still can. No matter how much you claim you're not the Demon King, your position doesn't allow you to do so.

...Oh, God.

　It's starting to get somewhat troublesome.
　It's not like anything will change from now on just because I'm treated as a demon king. Since we will have to negotiate with the Draukos Empire and the Kingdom of Olvance from now on, maybe it's better to call ourselves the Demon King as a bluff.
　I'm not sure I'll ever get used to being called the Demon King, either.
　If you're going to do this, give me the profession of a Demon King from the start, job change book.

''Hmph!''

Phew!

　At any rate, I hit him with an eight-pounder.
　I know it's unreasonable. But that's what puppies are for, you know?

"Wow, my God, why did I...!

"Hey, puppy, you've pissed off your husband again.

I haven't done anything!　You just said the right thing!

'Sometimes it's true that the truth hurts people. You'd better watch out, Mister Puppy.

　In the meantime, the blown up puppy seems to be OK. Looks like I don't need to put a recovery on him.

　Now, let's get our thoughts straight again.
　In other words, the fact that I will become the Demon King means that a brave man from somewhere will come to defeat me.
　I don't know how many brave men and women there are in this world. I've never met one before, but I wonder if they are rather present.

　That.
　And then it occurred to me.

"Hey, Drake.

Yes, Master Noah.

'If I'm the Demon King, does that mean that a brave man will appear to defeat me?

'Yes. When the Demon King appears in this world, a brave man will also be born in this world. That brave man will depart with the mission of defeating the demon king. He may eventually come face to face with Noah-sama.

No ... how many brave men are there?

Ha-ha. You must be joking. There's only one brave man in the world, sir.

　.........
　No, I was that brave man.
　So there was only one person in the world? Seriously. What kind of luck did I have to use to get that far?

...Does that mean there's only one Demon King for every brave man?

I've only heard about it in the lore. I've heard that there is only one Demon King and one hero in this world at any given time due to the rotation of the stars. When a brave man dies, a new brave man is born.

....

　It's strange.
　No, I don't think it's strange that there's always only one Demon King and one hero, or any other theory. If that's the case, you must think it's strange that this world has a fixed occupation from the moment you're born.
　It's not true.
　I was a brave man. According to Drake, there is only one other person in the world who is brave.
　In other words, somewhere in the world there should be a counterpart to me, the Demon King.

　But I've never heard of a rumor about a demon king on my long journey.

"Hey, Drake.

Yes, Master Noah.

Do you know where the Demon King is?

Yeah.

　If there is a demon king somewhere.
　Someone, who may or may not be him or her, would be outraged. Someone who isn't himself is calling himself the Demon King.
　What would happen if that happened - it would even lead to war.
　A war between the Demon King and the Demon King.

　Gulping and swallowing spit.
　Drake knows the Demon King - that is.

"There you are, sir.

....

　No, I kind of had a feeling that was the kind of answer I was going to get.
