The only status I didn't shake BP at - knowledge.

　The benefit that knowledge brings is not only language.

　The benefits that knowledge brings were comparable to other statuses.

　Information is the key to a great deal of strategy.

　When I was human, I was just an ordinary college student. I had no experience of war or fighting. If I had, it was only in the virtual world (game).

　For example, if it's a game, the speed of progress in the same game will vary greatly between the first time you play it and the second time you play it. The reason for this was partly due to the increase in player skill, but more than that, the proficiency of the system was affected.

　Kanon knew the specifications of this world, called 《Surrender》.

　Kanon knew that the dark elves could handle fire magic.

　You're going to be able to find out what you can do with it.

　--It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

　That is the word of Sun Tzu. It means that if you know your enemy and your allies, you will not be defeated even if you fight a hundred times. Or something like that.

　Up until now, I've gotten over it through a lot of deceitful speculation - but one day I'll make a big mistake.

　For example, the first BP I swung; I hit it in a row without knowing anything about it, and as a result I swung 17 into Renkei; it grew to B, but the resulting lack of CP in my possession made it almost useless.

　Now I know from the information I heard from canon that it takes 50 BP to grow from B to A. If I hadn't known, I would have waved it off in vain and despaired.

　The status I despised - knowledge was an important status.

　That said--.

What's your level?

　I pose a question to the canon. Since I can create a family member, I'm sure it's at least level 3........

''It's .......3.''

　Kanon turns away from me and replies in a mumbling voice.

　Hearing Kanon's answer, I guessed the reason for Kanon's "surrender".

　Kanon's knowledge is B. The BP needed to grow to B is 17. If you are a chosen demon king like me - a demon king who hasn't earned 10 BP with a bonus - the total BP you can earn by level 3 is the initial 10, plus 10 for two level-ups, plus 2 0.

　That means that when you grow your knowledge to B, you have 3 BP left; with the remaining BP, you only have to grow one, and that's from E to D.

　No matter how much knowledge you have, the situation is a dead end.

　Even if I had grown my creation, the strongest subordinate is Kobold. And unlike my Kobold, they won't be given satisfactory equipment. If it's smelting, what can I create with D?　If it was the Iron Series, then a goblin equipped with the Iron Series would be the strongest subordinate. If they had grown their physical and magical powers, it would be even more disastrous.

　Which, no matter the choice, is a dead end.

　There is no way to protect them from the invading humans.

　In fact, I'm impressed that you've been safe until now.

Besides the knowledge, what status did you grow in?

　I ask as an extension of my small talk.

'Well I've grown all of my stats to D except for knowledge. I haven't shaken the BP I got when I went up to level 3. It's just........
Huh?　...Oh, no, I'm sorry. Just?　What's going on?

　I couldn't help but make a goofy noise at the answer that betrayed my guess, but canon was in the middle of the conversation. I urged him to continue the conversation.

''Yes.

　A wave of unknown information coming in.

　There are two things I'm curious about, just from the current conversation alone.

　The effective time for [pseudo-peace] is 24 hours, right? Is it enough?

　I decided to start with a light question for now.

'Let's see, first of all, you're level 3, right?'

Yes. Well, um.........
Hmm?

'I understand that I'm not in a position to ask you to do this but...'
What's going on?

If you wouldn't mind not calling me "you" at all...
'Oh...'

　Kanon conveys his request to me, as if it's hard to say.

　It's true that saying 'you' is a stranger or a cold wall. Nevertheless, what should I call you?　Mr. Kanon?　Shouldn't it be strange to call someone who's surrendered? She's a pretty little elf to look at, so... canon?　HAHAHA....If you can channellate someone you've met for less than an hour, you're not going to reach the attribute: solitary.

''Well, if you could........call me canon........''

"Canon ... canon ... uh ... All right. I'll call you canon from now on.

　I utter my name a few times and grant the canon's request.

'Thank you!'

'As an alternative, but you, but can you, but can you also stop calling me Master Zion?'

　It is something of a mess. I'm taking this opportunity to make my request to you.

What should I call you?

Theon is fine.

　The first woman I meet asks me to call her by name, and I tell her that I want her to call me by my name in response. Is that it?　Attribute: solitary to attribute: rear end!

　I hide my happiness in embarrassment, saying goodbye to the attribute I've been with for 18 years.

''No, from the looks of it, Sion-sama is older than me.......Sion.......?　How about that?

　It didn't lead to a sweet and sour relationship.

''...Got it. That's fine.

　I answered curtly.

'Oh, by the way, you said it looked like, what do I look like now?'

　There are no mirrors in the dominant realm. If you create, you can create objects that look similar, and if you look closely at the silver shield, your figure will be reflected, but I hadn't checked my appearance since I evolved into a demon king (a bloodsucking species).

　Somehow, I know that I've grown a little taller, I've gained some muscles, and my hair is now silver hair... but I was curious about my appearance as reflected by other people's eyes.

'Well.......... I have beautiful silver hair, and at a glance, I look to be in my early twenties. I think she has a well-defined face.

　Should we rejoice in the fact that we look older than we really are in our early twenties, or should we be sad that we look mature or old?　They say he's got a good face. I'm honestly happy about this.

''It's just that ... you look a little unhealthy, or rather, not very pale.
Okay. Thank you.

　I thanked the canon. I'm actually eighteen!　I decided to return the conversation to the main topic, as I was about to get sidetracked again when I told him.

'Back on topic, canon is level 3, right?　How did you manage to grow your knowledge to a B and then further grow your other statuses to a D?

''Ah!　

You mean the one answer to every question?

'Yes. Yes. I asked it a question, and the answer came back to me as Marvelous, and as a bonus I got 10 BP.

...I see.

　Wasn't that a privilege that only I got? I thought I was the chosen demon king.　I was floating around.

'By the way, what question did you ask?'

'Well, that's... well... well...'

　The canon stagnates in reply and answers with intent.

''Does this world need to be rescued?'' I asked.

　I see.........

　Kanon is a lovely fairy form. From earlier, she answers my questions obediently.

　However, we must not forget.

　Kanon was a former demon king who was sorted into 【Chaos】 as a result of the proper investigation.

　This kind of look and talk, but is this girl pretty bad?

　I was reminded again that the floating fairy with a smile on her face - Kanon was the former Demon King.
