My country was getting closer to its ambitions.
　A country where demons and humans could live together. A world where demons and humans can live in harmony as neighbors. That's the ideal I've been working toward.
　It's still a work in progress, but my country will grow from here on out.

"Lord Noah!

Yeah.

We have reports of a group of refugees from the Draukos Empire. What can we do?

Accept as much as you can. We'll have the land ready and consult with Silmeria about food supplies for the time being.

　Finally, it's been two years since the promise I made to Queen Feliana of Orvance.
　I've been told not to move for two years, so I've been a rich and powerful soldier for a long time. Thanks to that, I heard that there was a light dispute with the imperial army near the border, but they were able to defeat it all at once with the demon army.
　Because of that, even within the Dravkos Empire, there was a lot of talk of "The Empire is finished! It seems that more and more people are starting to think like that, and more and more refugees are coming to my country to seek asylum.

'Lord Noah,'

Yes.

Master Noel sends word that the Imperial Guard has been seen on the border.

Dispatch an elite goblin squad to the city of Ymir. I want you to send an army of elite goblins to the city of Oran, too. I'll let Drake pick the men.

Yes, sir.

　Jessica, hearing Drake's report and giving quick instructions.
　I think I'm getting on board with being a king, relatively speaking. I have Jessica mainly in charge of internal affairs and Drake mainly in charge of military affairs, and I have her report only on matters that need to be brought to my attention.
　The proportion of human beings in my country is increasing due to the recent exodus of refugees and the replenishment of personnel from the Orvans. There are still many demons, and the number of demons following the Demon King Rilkara has increased since he became a companion, but the number of humans is increasing even more than that.
　And although the demons are living in the city normally, no major problems have occurred. Although there is still fear on the human side, the fact that they are strictly ordered not to use violence against the demon side seems to be working wonders for them.

''So, Noah-sama,''

What are you doing here, Jessica?

''I've received reports from agents who have joined the Draukos Empire that they are inviting S-ranked adventurers to the Imperial City one after another. Apparently, the Empire is willing to do it.

I see...

　Hmmm, I put my hand to my chin.
　As a countermeasure against us, they're probably inviting S-ranked adventurers. I'm not sure if Shelly and Randy are among them, as they may have escaped some time ago.
　If that's the case, why don't we get in on it?

Okay. Okay, we'll deal with it.

Now....!

Yeah.

　The Empire still hasn't changed its stance on my country - Grandizia.
　I'm not going to be the only one to have a problem with it. But the other side doesn't seem to have any intentions of doing so, so they continue to skirmish with each other.
　It's also the case that they showed up near the border today.
　It's time for me to get into the swing of things, too.

It's time for me to get down to business. "Let's go and attack the Empire!

Yes, sir!

　As I tell Jessica, I leave the throne room.
　And my friends are waiting there. The executives are gathered there, waiting for my words with a vicious smile on their faces.

"Master, it's war. Leave it all to me!

"My Lord, I swear to you that you will bring victory to my Lord.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

'Master!　I'll fight a lot too!

'Hahahaha!　My blood is boiling too!

'Lord Noah, please give me an order. My armor is for the glory of Noah.

"These old bones, let us stand again on the battlefield. Let the Lord Noah win.

"Before You, Master Noah. This Amanda, I will fight you with all my might.

I'm in. What part of the Empire do you want me to take down first?

Meirei, wo. Master.

"Kuh........war.... It's bloody and exciting...!

　Milo, Gilanka, Chappie, Bau, Puppy, Drake, Angus, Amanda, King, Lobo, and Lil Cara.
　My best and brightest were here.

"Come on, people.

....

Let's go. Let's show the Empire what we can do!

Ooh!

　Let's go crazy.
　And this is the first step towards creating my dream world.
　Me and the people that follow me, together with my fellow demons.

　I'm a demon hunter.
　I'm the only one in the world who follows a demon king.
