I watch the back of the goblin that I entrusted my fate to run away.

　I made one big mistake in becoming the Demon King.

　That mistake is - the allocation of BP - the allocation of BP.

　My BP allocation - to use a term that is widely used on the internet, the build structure is knowledge-specific.

　By allocating my BP to be biased towards knowledge, my knowledge grew to a B and I was able to gain a variety of knowledge. That knowledge has helped me a lot but it is a failure given the situation I'm in now.

　A certain Demon King in the northeast is a physical specialist, if I can guess from the information I got from the internet. I heard that only slimes, rats, and even the strongest monsters, goblins, can appear in that Demon King's domain, but I heard that the Demon King's strength is exceptional. Twelve level 5 humans challenged him, and the result was that they were wiped out in less than 5 minutes.

　The Demon King in the East Sea, according to information obtained from the internet, was a specialist in magic. It seems that the only monsters that can appear in the Demon King's domain are Wolves. However, it seems that while he was fighting the Wolf, who is good at group battles, a powerful spell was struck into him.

　There is also a dominion area with diabolical traps and powerful monsters that seem to be specialized in creation. A control region where goblins equipped with expensive armor, which are thought to be specialized in training, have been confirmed in various parts of Japan.

　If the government's own hazard ranks for each control region are correct, then the most dangerous is the control region of the physical-specialized demon king. However, even if it's not physical specialization, the control realm ruled by a specialized demon king has a high hazard rank... that's a dangerous control realm from the point of view of humanity, and from the point of view of the demon king - the right choice! It's a dominant area that I've done.


　It's the same specialization... why is only the knowledge type unfairly treated?

　The world is really an unreasonable place.


　Is there no way for me, a knowledge-specialist, to survive?

　I was troubled, I dug up the numerous pieces of knowledge etched in my head and pondered.

　And I came up with the only way to survive.

　The art is - 'Surrender'.


　'Surrender' is not surrender as a meaning of the word, but 'surrender' accepted as a specification of the 'World Salvation Project'.

　When [Knowledge] grew to C, there were three conditions for the dominant domain to be liberated by humanity or ruled by the Demon King.

　One was the destruction of the [True Core].

　One was the death of the Demon King.

　One, the surrender of the Demon King to another Demon King.

　The specification that the Demon King can't surrender to humanity, but can surrender to other Demon Kings is the disgusting part of "World Salvation Project". Does this mean that humanity (Rowe) and the Demon King (Chaos) should keep fighting?

　The process of "surrender" is simple. Implementing it is a lot of work in its own way, but....

　The method is to hand over the [True Core] to the other Demon King, and the Demon King who 'surrenders' will verbalize his surrender from his heart, and the Demon King who accepts the 'surrender' will simply agree to it.

　There are also various disadvantages to "surrender".

　The Demon King who "surrenders" will not only have the right to rule, but also the right to kill.

The disadvantages are not limited to this.

　The demerit of "surrender" is not limited to the surrendered Demon King, but also to the Demon King who accepts the surrender.

　The disadvantage is the decrease in DP gained.

　Normally, the Demon King who controls another Demon King's territory will have the maximum DP increased by 100. However, if the Demon King controls the realm by "Surrender", the upper limit of DP gained will be 50.

　Does this mean that 'surrender' is not recommended?

　This disadvantage meant that I would have to show my superiority to the Demon King who offered to 'surrender'.

　Anyway, I must succeed in 'surrender' in order to survive.

　To make the 'Surrender' a success, I have to overcome three obstacles.

　The first is to present the [True Core] to the other Demon King.

　There are two ways to do this: one is for the Demon King to personally go to us. Well, this method is impossible. In order for the Demon King to go out of the dominion realm, he needs to reach level 10. As far as I know, no Demon King has gone out of the dominion realm yet. Another method is to bring the [True Core] from here. However, in order to bring it, you need to go out of the Dominion Realm. The only people who can go out of the dominion realm are Demon Kings who are level 10 or above.......or their subordinates.

　And strangely enough, I just grew to level 3 and was able to create my Military.

　With this, the first obstacle is now clear.

　The second is the Military - Gobuta will safely reach his surrender partner, the Demon King.

　This is the only way to trust Gobuta. What are the odds of reaching it safely?　For some reason, humanity has opened a reception in front of the dominion realm that made Gobuta head towards it, and it's a popular spot where many humans are waiting their turn.

　I am almost crushed by anxiety.

　Thirdly, will the other party accept 'surrender'........

　The opponent who offers 'surrender' is the Demon King. Freedom and chaos loving [Chaos]........ There are only elements of uncertainty here as well. In the meantime, I have a trump card that I can use to negotiate.......

　That trump card is - I am a knowledge-specialized demon king, I am.

　I'm a D in body, magic power, creation, and alchemy, but I'm a B in knowledge.

　My knowledge definitely exceeds the knowledge of the Demon King to whom I offered "Surrender".

　How can I be so sure?　The area controlled by the said Demon King is a popular spot called the 'Earning Ground'. Through the internet, there is a lot of information available.

　The place where the Silver Spear equipped by the party of humanity that is currently raging in my realm of control was unearthed is the Demon King's Realm.

　This indicates that it has a smelting rank of C or higher.

　Recently, information about the appearance of a new monster, the Ghoul, was posted online.

　This indicates that the rank of creation is C or higher. Furthermore, the one who can create ghouls is the Demon King (a bloodsucking species). In other words, they have recently evolved. This means the level of the ghoul is 3.

　From these things, the maximum amount of BP you can get by level 3 is 20; even if you're like me and have increased by 10 with the "Service Star", it's still 30.

　The BP needed to grow smelting to C is 7. The BP needed to grow creation to C is also 7. Even if the BP is 30, the remaining BP is 14. In contrast, the BP needed to grow knowledge to B is 17.

　So, I'm going to sell the [Knowledge] status as a B.

　As a military strategist or a chief of staff, I will show my superiority.

　I will use the only weapon I have - knowledge - to survive.

　It was fifteen hours since Gobuta left me.

　I was standing on dead ground.

　All the fully equipped kobolds who were my maximum strength were also slaughtered.

　Under the influence of sending the [True Core] out of the control area, I was unable to create or refine.

''Eeeewww, where is my little pixie-chan?''

　A man equipped with a silvery spear - a silver spear - gives a vulgar laugh.

　It's hard to believe, but that vulgar human being is one of the best human beings in the city called the 'Twin Peaks Brave'.

''Hey......... Masakado-san. Please be serious!　Even though he looks like that, he's a demon king. You can't be too careful.

　A woman equipped with a black glowing sword - a black iron sword - chides the vulgar humanity - Masakad.

　I evolved into a demon king (fairy species), shrinking to about 30 cm in height and growing two pairs of wings on my back.

　I used my size and feathers to run around in the forest, using my body size and wings to my advantage.

　Now I'm lurking in the thick foliage on the trees, breathlessly lurking.

''But it's troubling........ Where is the [True Core]?

　The man with the glasses lets out a small sigh.

'Ewww, was it in the washing machine last time?'
''That's right. Let's give up looking for the Demon King once and thoroughly examine the ruins.
What?　Why don't we just get that little pixie and ask her out?
In the woods?　It's inefficient.
"Tsk!　You're too serious, Glasses. Do you enjoy living?
I'll have to work hard to live before I can have fun.

　After Masakad and the man with the glasses finished their light argument, they all moved towards the ruins.

　Phew......... Saved?　But I guess it's only a matter of time....

　A resignation is born within me.

　

　In the midst of my resignation, at the time when I decided to take one last shot at him--.

　--Vuh-uh-uh-uh!

　My smartphone, shrunken down as I evolved, trembled in my hands.
