I need you to find the Demon King who meets certain criteria.

　I tell them both what I'm asking.

"What are your terms?

''A Demon King who specializes in defense. If possible, the Demon King of a controlled realm that is rumored to be impregnable, even though the number of controlled realms is small. There's nothing wrong with the Demon King's own competence, but find a Demon King who's good at setting clever traps and managing his subordinates.

　I offer the terms I seek. I was feeling the limitations of managing all 19 control areas that could be invaded by the enemy on my own. What's more, after experiencing the battle with the Demon King Arisa, I was considering embarking on an invasion myself to raise my level. I could leave it to my subordinates, but the subordinates I created are not very flexible. I wanted to leave the defense to a highly flexible person - the former Demon King.

''Uh........Should I just look for them online?''
The canon will be. By the way, it's close by.
Yes?

　Canon replies.

'Do I have to go online too?'

　Lina replies, puzzled.

'No, Lina, you can check locally based on the information me and Kanon have collected. Naturally, when you're not busy, I'll ask you to use your own phone to gather information.
Yes, sir.

　After receiving instructions from me, Kanon and Lina began collecting information using their smartphones. I also operate my smartphone and gather information in order to unearth an excellent demon king.

　[Pseudo-peace] Six hours left.

'Mr. Zion!　How about this dominant realm's Demon King?
What kind of demon king is this?

　I turn my gaze to the canon that approached me with a smile on my face.

"Well, you see.......I'm the Demon King of Nonoichi City, but I'm the Demon King of the control area of Hazard Rank B. I'm guessing that I'm level 7. It's presumed to be level 7. He rules two dominant domains, and his race is a slime species. There are crimson slimes under him, so his creation rank is B. There are many stingy pitfalls, and he is the demon king of the dominant realm, which is hated by the human race.

　I look down at the smartphone screen that Kanon pointed at me.

'When you defeated the prowling orc you dropped the Sword of Mithril?　So does that mean smelting is a B, too?
That's true. If you specialize in creation and alchemy, wouldn't you be good at defense?
Um ... rejected.
What?　Why do you think...?
You're specializing in creation and alchemy, so your physical and magical status is low, right?
"Perhaps?
'If you surrender, you can't create and smelt, can you?　Then it's garbage, isn't it?
What?　I think that's a terrible idea.

　I'd like to praise him for specializing in creation and alchemy. However, the Demon King can't create or refine anything if it's under his command. It's better to have a high physical and magical power as a fighting force if possible.

　However, when they are specialized in physical and magical power, they are not good at operating traps and subordinates....

　I make use of the Internet to gather information, but it's not easy to find a Demon King who can be pinned down.

　Demon King Alisa - the disgustingness of the trap, her own strength, and the reluctance of the latter half.......Is there a Demon King of that class that easy to exist? His personality was so shitty that if he had been one of them, he would have had a hard time with it........

　After that, while gathering information about the Demon King in the vicinity.......I continued to work on refraining from information about the Demon King who was so dull.

''Sion. I'm not sure if it meets Theon's wishes, but there's an interesting Demon Lord here?

　Lina was the first to speak to me.

'What kind of demon king are you?'
''I'm not canon, so I can't speculate on the ranks of creation and alchemy, but according to the information posted on the internet, there are two demon kings in that dominant realm, right?
What?　The two demon kings?　Tell me the details.

　I type in the URL that Lina gave me and browse the message board that humanity says is used heavily.

　Two Demon Kings. Simply put, is this information about a demon king who has added former demon kings who have surrendered like canon as his subordinates?　But if humanity encountered canon would it be perceived as a demon king?

　The Demon King that Lina found was located in Uchinada Town (north of Kanazawa City), and the information was about a Demon King who controls the seven dominant domains. As a result of sharing the URL with Kanon, the Demon King's race is the Demon King (Demon race), and his estimated level is 8. He is estimated to be level 8, with an estimated status of Creation B and Renovation C. There was an old man Demon King who seemed to specialize in magic, and a girl Demon King who seemed to specialize in physical strength.

　The old man's Demon King has jet black wings on his back and the girl's Demon King seems to have small horns on his forehead.

''Canon. Which one do you think the Demon King is?
Maybe he's an old man who specializes in magic and looks like a demon.
So the girl is a former demon lord of a surrendered demon species?
The best way to do it is to have a look at a few of these things. I think it's probably a demon species based on the characteristics of its appearance, but I'm curious about this information.

　I look down at the posted information that Kanon pointed to.

　Posted by Taisei @ girlfriend wanted

　The dungeon near the Uchinada Town Hall is a bad idea!　Demon King is on fire!　He just disappeared and then he showed up behind me!　Three of my men were killed!　Seriously, if he comes out, watch your back!


　Posted by Inami

　I saw him too. I was watching from behind and he appeared from the shadows of his friends. What the hell is that thing?　Give me back my HIROYUKI!


　I look over the information Kanon pointed at and I nod my head.

　

"Let's see........the demon species that possesses this ability is a daylight vampire in Sion-san's case. If I were to call it, it would be Dullahan.
What?

　When I heard Kanon's words, two questions popped into my head.

'How do you know where the demon species evolved?
"Well, I don't know the exact details.... The information on the evolutionary destinations of some of the demon species, demon species, elven species, and dwarf species--
Well....

　When I heard only some of the evolutionary destinations of the demon species, demon species, elf species and dwarf species in that place, I couldn't make effective use of them.

　The more important question is........why does that girl have the characteristics of a race that the Demon King can only evolve to level 10 and possess the characteristics of a race that can only evolve to level 10?

''Canon. By the way, can a surrendered Demon King evolve by accumulating levels?
Yes. I'll be able to evolve when I reach level 50.
By the way, what's the level of the two of you?
Twenty-eight.
Forty-one.

　I am aware that the level of canon is low for a canon that never participates in combat. However, Lina has always been on the front lines of the battle. The number of Demon Lords she has buried with her hands has exceeded double digits. And among the Demon Kings living in Ishikawa Prefecture, there is no Demon King who controls more territory than me.

　In other words, Lina should be the top ranker in Ishikawa Prefecture.

　Then it's hard to believe that the girl's level is over 50. However, it was also inconceivable that she was a Demon King who exceeded level 10 and then surrendered to an estimated level 8 Demon King.

''Canon, can't the Demon King of the Demon Race species disappear and create demons that appear from the shadows of others?''
As far as I know, it's impossible. To begin with, according to the sightings, the demon is a shadow demon of the demon species. Demonkind can't create demons.

　The canon reveals a troubled expression.

''Speaking of creation.......this dominant area has been confirmed to have a wide variety of demons other than the demon race species, right?

　Lina's words, which she reports while looking at the bulletin board, add to the mystery.

'The appearance of a wide variety of demons?'
''Mm. It is the duty of the liberator to report information about the demons he encounters to the bulletin board to share information, but... from looking at this bulletin board, besides the demon species Lesser Demon, there are ogres, pixies, dwarves, elves, warcats...'' ...and we've got a sighting of a ghoul?
What?　Canon, are demon species a race that excels in creation?

　I can't help but open my mouth wide when I receive Lina's report.

"No, it's not. The demon race is a race that excels in magic, and there should be no race that specializes in creation.

'So you're saying that you've taken under your command the demons from the territory you've ruled?
Well....it's a high possibility.

　Two demon kings and a variety of demonkind.... The more I look into it, the more interesting it is to rule.

　Even if we argue here, we won't get an answer. I was strongly intrigued, so I thoroughly gathered information on the dominion area of Uchinada Town, where the two demon kings are said to exist.

　The more I looked into it, the more interested I became in the Demon Kings who ruled the dominant realm of Uchinada Town.

　--!

　Well that's settled!

'Lina, canon. First, we will expand our power in the direction of Uchinada. The goal is the submission of the two Demon Kings who control the territory of Uchinada Town!

Yes!
Yes, sir!

　The short term strategy is to subjugate the demon king in the territory he controls in Uchinada Town. As a medium term strategy, control the northern part of the prefecture. And to control the whole of Ishikawa Prefecture at once!

　He stretched out his thoughts to achieve his newly defined strategy.
