"My king. I am now loyal to you from the bottom of my heart.

Uh-huh.

　Angus gets up with a vengeance and bows his head to me.
　No, there were a lot of things that I didn't calculate, but let's call it a good thing that I made more friends for now. It's also a strong level 63 adventurer. I'll distract myself from the sad reality that my deco-pin has the power to kill people for now.

"Angus, let me have a look.

"As you wish, my king.

Hm. Analyze.

　A translucent string of letters appears in front of me with powerful words.

　Name: Angus Foulger.
　Occupation: living mail level 63
　skill
　Swordplay level 63
　Great sword control level 40.
　Defensive Breakdown Level 35
　Sword of Light level 13.
　Absolute Defense Level 13.

　The occupation "Great Swordsman" has been changed to "Living Mail".
　Normally I would think that a living mail would refer to a demon with an empty armor or something like that. Why does Angus, who has a body, become a living mail?
　Well, I guess that's going to change a lot in the future. The body underneath the armor gradually disappears, and the armor becomes the main body, and so on.
　I wonder what they're going to do about bathing and such, and other unimportant thoughts passed through my head.

"Angus.

...Are you Drake?

'I'm a little more senior than you. I'll also explain our camp to you.

Yes, please. I'm not quite sure why I'm here, either.

Yes. Together, we will support Master Noah until the day he becomes king of the world.

All right.

　I never said I wanted to be king of this world or anything.
　I feel like I'm imagining my future in Drake's mind.

"But I feel as if I've been rejuvenated. I even feel as if I'm overflowing with power...

That's what it means to be Master Noah's chamberlain. There are many restrictions, though. I'll explain that to you shortly.

Please. I will fight with you as my king's man from now on. As you wish, my king.

Uh-huh.

　Come to think of it, you're a former adventurer, so you're acquainted with Drake. I'm sure I'll be meeting a lot of adventurers in the future. I wonder if we can somehow get Drake to speak the human language.
　I think Puppy talked a lot about the "Metamorphic Human", but I think we need to examine that from now on as well.
　But the problem isn't so much the reunion of those two.
　It's the group of other adventurers who have not been able to hide their fears towards us.

''Hee........Ah, Angus-san was brainwashed in an instant......!

There's no way we're gonna win this thing...

The Demon King.　Help me, help me...!

　The adventurers are so terrified that they are about to be incontinent at any moment.
　I don't want to chase them anymore, so it's no problem at all if they run away. Even so, the fact that they still hold up their weapons stoutly is probably because they have the pride of being adventurers.
　Ah, it's a bother, but I have to tell them--.

''Kid, ah!

Hmm...?

　The sound of wings resounding with a rustle.
　As if a large rock was floating in the sky, blocking the sun into a part of the earth.
　The one that bared its sharp fangs, carrying scales that shone black in the sunlight, and screamed so like a yell.
　It was Puppy.

''You!

What's up, pup?

　I, too, had heard many things about dragons in the past.
　Their roars pierce the heavens, their yells shake the earth, and their single voice can prepare all living things for death - I've heard such phrases before. In fact, when I first met the Puppy, it had a certain kind of dignity to it. Not at all now, though.
　But anyone who has written a lot about the dragon's roar probably doesn't know that.
　I didn't know that it was such a pathetic thing to say.

I came down from the lair thinking that the boy would be feeling sorry for me, but there was only a group of ears in the village, and I couldn't understand him, so I threatened him, and the boy led the demons to attack a nearby town, knowing how lonely I was when I heard that he had gone to attack the town.

I don't know.

　I shrug my shoulders at Puppy's words, a dragon too sorry as always.

'Puppy,'

What?

I didn't ask for you.

"Kid!　I will cry!　The great and majestic king of the sky, the most powerful evil dragon named Grandizia, named after the great desire, will rant and rave!

Annoying.

　I don't care about you crying.
　If you want, I can give you a shot and have you sleep for a bit - I thought for a moment, but I'll try to be nice to you.

Well, never mind. Well, okay, Pappy, you stay there for now. We'll talk about it later.

You're not treating me well!

Well,

　He gloriously ignores the screaming Puppy and turns to the adventurers.
　It's a bad dragon puppy, but it's big enough to be intimidating in its own way.
　For now, let's negotiate with the adventurers--.

........Huh?

　But what I saw in my field of vision was a dozen or so adventurers who were supposed to be holding their weapons stoutly.
　The adventurers, who should have been holding their weapons stoutly, were about a dozen unconscious figures.
　Why are they fainting all of a sudden? Maybe it's because the puppy appeared out of nowhere. I'm an adventurer, but I'm miserable.

I see, that's what I'm talking about, Puppy-dono.

"Huh?

　But for some reason, he found Drake to be impressed with him like that.
　As well as that, Milo, Gilanka and Bau are nodding their heads in agreement. ''What the hell did Puppy do?

''Puppy-dono's skill, 'Yell'. It has the effect of stunting opponents below your skill level.

...Oh, yeah?

''If it's Puppy-dono, it's probably a level 30 or so 'yell'. There are few adventurers in this city who have exceeded level 30. As long as Puppy-dono is here, it will be easy to neutralize him.

That's amazing.

　Oh, that would be easy to conquer this city or something.
　We could just have Puppy yell at the city and then we could round up all the unconscious residents and litter the streets. If it looks like there are still residents left in the city when it's time to flee, we'll have Puppy yell at them.

'It's so easy to incapacitate them, Puppy, that's awesome.

''Mm-hmm. It's clear that the Evil Dragon Grandizia is different after all.

Mr. Puppy is amazing!

M....m...m?　Ummmmm, yes!　I am awesome!　More credit where credit is due!　Fuhahahaha!

　Well, I'm in good shape.
　If I say something else, he'll scream for joy.
　He's a little dragon indeed.









　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
　I'm not sure I'll ever be able to find a way to make it to the top of the list.
　Even so, the residents who tried to forcefully stay behind had Puppy give a 'yell' and stun them, and then had Gilanka's men send them straight out of the city.

　Thus, my country Grandizia - my country Grandizia - got a bridgehead.
