So, this young lady is a neighboring princess.

Yes.

　For now, Gilanka, Chappie and Bau each went to work, so I carried Jessica with Milo.
　By the way, the place we brought them to was my temporary home. I didn't want to stay in the same house as Arisa, so I asked the village chief to give me a new place to live. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that the elves are currently working on the plans for my house. As expected, I can't be a homeless child either.
　I'm currently in the process of putting Jessica to sleep on an elven-style bunk (hard and cheap). I wonder if it's appropriate for a princess to sleep on this kind of bunk.
　On a side note, this house is so small that Milo can't get into it. So Milo is alone outside the house, peeking out the window.

''Wait, I'm just wondering,''

Hmm?

What's a neighboring country princess doing here?

No.....

　Honestly, that's super annoying for me to hear.
　It's kind of nice to be introduced as an ambassador, but Drake said, "It's to infiltrate the agency! So I brought her home with the idea that if I took her home on the spot for now, those people wouldn't be able to come in.
　But that doesn't mean that we can't treat the princess of our country carelessly.
　For now, I'll scratch it out and try to explain it to Milo.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

Yeah.

We have a rather good relationship with them. This time, they've asked me to be their ally in supporting them. And in return, they sent Jessica to be an ambassador.

Wow.

　Grinning, Milo smiles.
　You have a vicious face, you'll make Jessica cry just by laughing.

''Holy crap, master,''

Hmm?

Some people just don't have a relatively good relationship, eh?

Well, yeah.

When are we going to attack? We're ready to do whatever your master tells us to do.

....

　I can't help but frown at that remark, which is quite sharp for Miro.
　We're going to attack - that means we're going to war.
　A lot of people die because of my orders. All I have to do is give an order to a demon and a country will be destroyed.
　The Draukos Empire is the avenger of my parents, and there is nothing wrong with destroying it. In fact, I'd even be willing to go in and destroy it on my own.
　But that doesn't mean I hate all the people of the Draukos Empire.
　It's not the same as attacking the empire, but I don't think it's the same as destroying everything in the empire. In order to grow as a country, I think it would be better to rule people as well.
　Then what should I do?

I can't say that I can't do it right away, but they are a big country. They say that this forest is my country's territory, but it's dozens and hundreds of times bigger than that.

That's all right. Your master has over 10,000 demons under his roof.

There are no more than 10,000 men in the Imperial Army. And they're all well-trained regulars.

All of us can come back to life if our masters use recovery magic. It's practically infinite.

'Uh....'

　Come to think of it, you're absolutely right.
　The demons under me won't die as long as I'm around. Just like Chappie came back to life, the other demons will come back to life with my magic as long as their corpses are still there.
　An army of demons that will never die and an army of humans that will die if you kill them.
　It's obvious which one is stronger.

It's true that they will come back to life, but...

Human armies need to eat, don't they? We, on the other hand, don't need to eat anything. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on. There's no advantage in numbers.

Well, you know. I guess one of the advantages of not needing to eat is that I don't have to.

　Demons don't need any food at all - that's another advantage we have.
　Basically, supply lines are important in war. It is a way to bring food and water to the soldiers fighting in the front line. Without supply lines, an army can't continue to fight.
　But my army is different.
　We don't need to think about supply lines, no matter how far or how far we have to go into the enemy's heartland. After all, there is absolutely nothing to supply.

We won't die. "We won't die." "Plus, with your skills, our numbers will continue to grow. That would be a nightmare for our enemies.

....

Give us the order and we'll destroy your country any day.

Well, just wait for it to sink in, Miro.

　Once again, I'm even laughing at the awfulness of the current situation.
　Indeed, my army is strong. There is no need for food, and even if they die, they come back to life, tens of thousands of demons - is there any country that can compete with them?
　But at any rate, that's what Jessica told me to do, and I'm starting to feel like it's time to attack.
　It's true that it's faster to take away a country than to build one from scratch.

''I thought we should talk to Drake about that for a bit.

"For Drake?

"Yeah. Well Jessica just told me.

What do you mean?

　You're a pain in the ass to explain.
　I'm sure I'll have to explain it to Drake again.

"We're going to expand the Elven village, build more walls, and turn it into a kingdom. I thought that was the plan.

Yeah.

'But Jessica told me that we're already allied with the Kingdom of Olvance. It's a good thing that you're a member of the alliance with the Kingdom of Olvance, because it's a good idea to invade the Empire right now. In addition, we can take the cities of the Empire as they are already there.

Yeah.

So you're going to tell Drake what you're going to do and how you're going to do it... hmm?

　And just when I had finished explaining to Milo, I saw Jessica move.
　Slightly, I felt Jessica move.
　I told her my name, so she must have thought I was calling her.

Hmm....

Milo, we can talk later. Get under the covers for a minute.

Yeah.

　Jessica cringes a little, then slowly opens her eyes.
　Probably just a little startled and passed out. She can't seem to swallow the situation and looks around with her thinly opened eyes.

'Jessica, how's it going?　Don't you feel bad?

　Sit on the side of the bunk.
　I'll probably be fine, but just in case. As expected, if you got sick on the first day after coming here, you have no face to match with Feliana.
　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about this. And then our eyes met for a while.
　Then - her eyes widened and she jumped up.

'Ha--!　Oh, my God!　This is outrageous!　Master Noah!　I, I...!

No, I'm fine.

　In fact, I might have been rude to them.
　If I had explained to her on the road that there are many demons in my country, Jessica wouldn't have been so surprised.
　Well, the worst thing is Milo, who has a vicious look on his face. He has a scary look on his face that makes even a crying boy cry.

You look like you're feeling okay. You should get some rest.

I didn't mean to be rude.

That'll be fine. I'm going to talk to Drake, the chief of staff, about a plan for the future, so I'll be leaving now. You take some time off, Jessica.

'Eh....'

　At my words, Jessica thought slightly.
　Then, in her bunk, she bowed her head in my direction.

"Oh, uh, Master Noah!　Wow, I'd like to join you!

Eh....

"I have been sent from the Kingdom of Orleans to be of service to you, Mother, to assist you in the service of Noah!　If you'd like to discuss future plans with your chief of staff, I'd be happy to join you!

Uh....

　Is that kind of thing the job of an ambassador?
　I'm not sure, but it's certainly a matter of crossing spears with the Empire, and I know that it's not someone else's business even if it's the Kingdom of Orvance.
　As I recall, if I were to drop some territory or something like that, half of it would be to Grandizia and half to the Kingdom of Olvance.
　It's true that for information on where to attack in the future and things like that, we should listen to the Orvance Kingdom's side as well. And since Jessica is a "military strategist" by vocation, she might be able to give you some useful advice.

''Well, yeah. You don't feel bad?

Yes, I'm fine!

Come with me then. Milo, do you know where Drake is?

He's in the middle of the village doing something.

　As an aside.
　Nuh-uh, once again, Jessica screamed in surprise at Milo, who looked so out the window again.
　But as expected, she didn't faint again.
