Horrible.
　With a gulp and a swallow of spit, Jessica Northlea Olvance honestly thinks so.
　Sent by her mother, Feliana, as an ambassador for Grandizia, Jessica's role is to solidify the alliance between the Kingdom of Orvance and Grandizia. Currently as their only ally, and in the future in the form of a merger by marriage.
　Jessica knows more than anyone else about Feliana's intentions as the reigning queen. Hence, Jessica was sent in with the infinitely rude imitation of an eight-year-old daughter as an ambassador.
　Ostensibly, as a hostage.

''But this is the power of the Demon King...''

　While looking at Noah, who is surrounded by demons such as dragons, minotaurs, ogres, goblins, wild dogs and other demons, he mutters quietly.
　It's not that each and every one of the demons, with the exception of dragons and minotaurs, are not that strong individuals. There are many weak demons that I've heard of adventurers defeating on several occasions.
　But when it comes to armies, they are no less of a threat.
　Even a pack of wild dogs can destroy a single village. If a horde of ogres were to appear, it would be a matter of the country's army going to war. Even a hundred of them could be a matter that would result in numerous deaths in battle.
　That's fifteen thousand under Noah.
　Even if you gathered the entire military strength of the empire, it's still a delicate place to be able to counter them. When it comes to the Kingdom of Orvance, the only thing I can think of is a future in which we will lose even if we throw in our entire army.

''But.........''

　Jessica lets out a big sigh and closes her eyes.
　Feliana thinks it's best to tie up with Grandizia and have a peaceful merger in the future. And that's what Jessica agrees with.
　However, if there is a chance to take advantage of it, they could use Grandizia to expand their version of Olvance - or so they thought. It's easy to give in to Noah, who reigns at the top, and demons don't act with much thought. Arisa, who is with me, is also at a level where it's not a problem to say she's naive.

''It's ... too much, it's unfathomable.

　But there is an overwhelming force in this camp.
　It is the power of Noah. It's the ability that made the S-ranked adventurer Angus Houlgar one of my men in an instant.
　Until just a few moments ago, Angus had been speaking a human language. He was able to communicate with someone who could communicate with him. And yet, with a flick of Noah's finger, he collapsed, and along with the appearance of a mysterious collar, for some reason, all he could say was "Goooooo".
　Perhaps it was Noah's power - the ability to turn humans, forcibly, into demons.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that.

Too strong.........

　In other words, Noah.
　He has the ability to turn all the people in this world into demons. It's safe to say that's too substandard an ability.
　The fact that Feliana has turned her original plan into a blank slate is also a convincing violence.
　If the strongest spear turns towards us, what can you do about it?　I remember my mother telling me that. Indeed, Noah, and the country of Grandizia, is nothing but a threat.

''........''

　Furthermore, I remembered that I'd secretly heard it.
　Noah's words slipped out of his mouth, probably because he thought Jessica was unconscious.
　Jessica had heard them in a daze, but the content of the words was shocking.

''Grrrr.''

"Uh.... sure, I'll come back to life, but...

"Gulu.

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

　Noah was replying to the words of the minotaur, which Jessica didn't understand, and Noah was replying to the words of the minotaur.
　Jessica doesn't understand the words of the dragon, the words of the minotaur, the words of the goblin, or the words of the drake for some reason. The only words Jessica could understand were those of Noah and Alisa.
　Perhaps it's Noah, so it's unlikely that Jessica knew she was awake and used falsehoods.
　Still, it's an unbelievable word to take honestly.

'Demons don't need food. Even if they die in battle, they will come back to life. The people that Noah-sama killed will become demons and become his new subordinates.

　Where in the world do you have to look for an army that is so threatening?
　If they don't need food and drink, they don't need supply lines. If there is no need for supply lines, then that army can march from anywhere. It was an army that could bypass every fortress and castle and head towards the imperial capital with its entire army, no problem.
　Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be unconditional, but even if they die in battle, they will come back to life. That means that they don't even need replenishment soldiers. Moreover, the more enemy soldiers you defeat, the more men you have under your command. If you don't call this a threat, what else shall we call it?

''Huh........''

　Small, Jessica lets out a sigh.
　Should we be happy that we have a friendly relationship with this country? Or should we be lamenting the fact that we have a ridiculous country next door?
　Either way, it's still the same thing Jessica should be doing.
　With a wave of her head, she ran up to Noah with a thump.

'Master Noah!

Oh, yeah. Jessica, I was able to drop the city with no problem.

Yes, sir. First of all, I'd like to congratulate you on your victory!

　Hahaha, laughs Noah.
　Jessica plays an innocent girl.
　A princess from a neighboring country who was given a 'military strategist' in her vocation. It's best to think that it will make a useful donation and serve you - that's the best thing to do.
　For that reason, you must never be overlooked.

''From now on, I'm sure we'll have to go to war with the Empire in earnest.

'Yes, Master Noah!　I will continue to make my dedication to help Master Noah's High Path!

Yeah. I'm counting on you, Jessica.

Yes!

　She bows her head and sticks out her tongue in a small way.
　A secret unique to Jessica that she hasn't even told her mother.
　It is that the vocation she was given is not 'military strategist' or anything like that.
　Because.
　With Jessica's skill of 'performer', she can become anything she wants to be - and that's not just because she's a good actor.
