My brother, what are you doing here?

I'm going in. I'm not here for a fight. You will stay here.

　The knight - Brother Ray tells that to the mounted knights who are probably his subordinates behind him.
　The last time I saw Brother Ray was about seven years ago now. The eldest brother, Hal, is responsible for taking over my family's home, the Whitefield family, and it was recommended that the second brother, Ray, and I, the third brother, should leave the house as soon as we came of age.
　My brother Lei, who is two years older than me, joined the Order at the age of fifteen. It's exactly seven years since I left on my journey two years later, so it's exactly seven years since I haven't seen him.
　But the look on Brother Ray's face under that helmet.
　He had the residue of his childhood, but it was still that of a well-trained knight.

''Wait.''

Yeah, Olvans dog. I want my brother. You get out of there.

'The Imperial Knight apparently has no sense of decorum. Even though he is one of my people, it is not polite to say so.

I just don't have the respect I would pay to a dog in Provence.

d*mn... how much more of an idiot do you think I am?

　Jessica and her brother Ray glare at each other like that.
　Brother, I don't remember him being this foul-mouthed. Well, he was rough around the edges, but I don't think he was the kind of person who would pick a fight with anyone like this.
　And I can't keep quiet either, if he makes fun of Jessica this much.

'Brother,'

What's going on?

'I'm sorry, but Jessica is one of mine. Don't make fun of me because of my Orvance origins.

What, are you connected to Orvans' dog, Noah?

....

Let go of me as soon as possible. Otherwise, you're gonna get bit in the hand.

"That's enough. Jessica, step back. I'll deal with him.

Yes, yes....

　Brother, you don't like the Olvance Kingdom that much.
　From the Empire's point of view, the Kingdom of Orvance has been a long-time enemy of mine, so I know you don't like it.
　What more do I need to say?

''So, Brother Ray. What do you want?

Yeah. Six ... seven years ... seven years?　I've heard you've become an adventurer, and you've come a long way.

'Well, just in case. I feel like I'm the king of this country.

I thought your vocation was 'villager'. How in the world did that happen?

Well, it's a lot.

　Oops.
　I thought people said I was a "villager".
　No, I mean... I couldn't say "brave". I just lied about it on the spot, so I've been keeping it to myself.
　As expected, I couldn't tell my family about it either. That's why my father, mother and brother Hal all think that my vocation is to be a villager.

I'm going to get straight to the point.

Yeah?

You're the one who stole this city from the Empire?

Yes,

　I answer that simply.
　Of course. There's no point in telling a weird lie here.
　To be specific, I threatened them with the demons under my command, but if they say that I was the one who did it, they're right.

I see. Well, let's hear one more thing.

Yeah.

　As if he knew my answer to that question, Brother Ray let out a small sigh.
　You're as high-handed as ever. At the very least, I hope you'll get off your horse.
　For now, I remind myself of the skill only in my mind.
　The target - well, I'll just use Puppy.
　It could be Milo, but after all, Puppy is the most powerful thing in appearance.

''Is it true that you have become a demon king?''

....

"There's been a lot of talk about you in the Empire. 'Noah Whitefield, the current Demon King,'

Ha.....

　It's not that I'm a demon king.
　It's just that I'm a demon user, but it's a bother to explain that to him.
　In addition, I've heard it's less troublesome to be treated as the king of demons.
　And it's also troublesome to explain the fact that I've become a demonslayer and the job change book.
　As a result, the balance in my mind weighs up the hassle and trouble and chooses 'the one that doesn't smell like trouble if anything'.

Well, that's about it.

I see.

So, what do you want?　You didn't come here to make small talk, did you?

Yes. I'm here as an envoy from the Empire. You can assume I'm here with full authority from the Emperor.

Yes.

　Oh, this is a messy one.
　But, well, it's not like I'm the only one who has to make decisions. I've got Jessica standing right next to me.
　I can connect Drake to our magic path, and he'll be able to give us some advice if we need it.
　I'll be fine. No matter what it is...

"Noah. "You are to liberate this city and exterminate all demons immediately. "Release the city and kill all the demons you encounter, and I will spare you.

　But.
　The words that came out of his brother's mouth were.
　There was no need to consult anyone, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation.
