Another meaningful piece of knowledge information obtained this time - Rank S.

　It was a status that started with an E, but he said that there was an S rank above the A rank that was thought to be the highest level.

'Why did you come with EDCBA... why is it S next, what is S?'
They say it means 'Supreme' or 'transcendence'.
'It's not Yataro, but furthermore, I don't think there's any SSR or UR on top of that...'
"Ummm........not according to my knowledge, but........maybe......oh, but the R you mentioned, Yataro-san, is for RARE It's an abbreviation, so I don't think there's any SSR in status.

　The canon replies to my trivial complaint in a disciplined manner.

''So, the BP needed to make it an S-rank--''
100.
One hundred is like a level 20.
The higher the level, the more experience is needed to level up, so it's a long way off.

　According to canon, the experience required for the demon king to raise his level by 1 is the value of the same level of enemy* current level*20. the experience gained from enemies lower than my level is multiplied by 50% for every 1 drop.

　My current level is 27.

　 The game requires two ✕2, two ✕3 after level 20, and four ✕4 after level 30.

　I thought it would be hard to level up after level 10, but I didn't realize it was such a stupid setup...

'You're not going to let the Demon King level up, are you?
But... the Demon King gets a share of the experience points from the subordinates he defeats.
5%....
It's 10% in our territory.
It's not much anyway.

　That said, it will be harder to level up in the future, so we need to be even more cautious in how we swing BP.

''Canon, how many people in this world do you think know this information?
'Information on Knowledge A?　How do you think........unless you're a visionary demon king like Zion-san who is raising excellent subordinates who specialize in knowledge, it will be difficult to obtain information on knowledge A.

　Kanon responds by adding some extra words, like he wants to increase his existence value, like excellent subordinates or visionary........

'Well, even if you think about it normally, there isn't a stupid demon king who chooses to specialize in knowledge... even if they existed, they would have perished before they could grow into A.'

It's in your head, isn't it?

　Although Kanon had been wearing a smug face until a while ago, now he has an expression like he has crushed a bitter bug.

''For now, there are three options........
There it is!　Mr. Zion's signature three fingers--

　--Roll up your skirt!

'Oh my God!　I'm sorry!

　Kanon is getting used to this punishment and lets out a joyful squeal.

'Next time you're in front of Saburo, hold that pose fixed.
I'm ... really sorry.

　Kanon returns to a straight face and apologizes.

'The first option is to shake 10 BP on [Physical] from now on.
Oh, I ended up with the usual...
You want to call Sublow?
'I'll be quiet.......forgive me....

　Doesn't this bug (canon) know the word learning ability?

　I regained my composure and decided to continue with my words.

'The advantage of the first option is the immediate effect. I'll be stronger, so it will simply lead to an increase in strength, and it will increase the efficiency of my future experience gain.
It's true that there are still a few A-ranked beings in the world today.

'The second option is to raise the level to 29 and grow [Creation] to A. The advantage is that the strength of the Astor Empire as a whole will increase significantly.
There are only two demon kings in Japan who are both A-ranked in [Refining] and [Creation] that we can observe in Japan...!

'The third option is to accumulate BP up to level 39 and grow [smelting] to S. The advantage is that you are likely to be the only one. Depending on your future strength, it could be the most effective... but there's no guarantee that you'll be able to safely survive to level 39.
''By that time, all of the so-called strong demon kings will have two A-levels in their status... it's tough, isn't it?

　Kanon responded with his own thoughts in response to my stated options.

'For now ... I'll hold off.
Yeah.

　To begin with, the other option other than swinging at [the body] is in the future. Let's deal with it according to the situation at that time.

''Well, on to the main topic.......I'd like to continue leveling up, but what do you think of the self-proclaimed chief of staff canon?''
That's tough.
Is it tough.... and why?
"Toyama.

　Kanon answered my question in a crisp tone.

''Well........ It's about time we came up with a countermeasure or we won't be able to make it in time.''

　Currently, there is only one Demon King who is still alive in Toyama Prefecture. He was based in Kurobe City, but the war was heavily tilted towards the human race.

　If things continued as they were, the Demon King's power would disappear from Toyama Prefecture in the not too distant future. In fact, if you look at the whole country, there are prefectures that have been liberated by the human race and conversely, prefectures like Ishikawa Prefecture that have been ruled by the Demon King can be seen here and there.

　If the human beings in Toyama Prefecture liberated Toyama Prefecture, would they stay in Toyama Prefecture and stay quiet?　No, it will probably move into one of the neighboring prefectures - Ishikawa, Niigata or Gifu.

　And the closest prefecture to Toyama City, the center of Toyama Prefecture, is - Ishikawa Prefecture. In other words, it would be the Astor Empire.

　If that happens, Kaoru, the Demon King of Komatsu City, and the humans in Toyama Prefecture who defeated the Demon King, will have to fight against both. They would have to fight both of them.

　I'd like to avoid such a situation.

''What do you think we should do, canon wise?''
"We must destroy Demon King Kaoru as soon as possible!　I would advise you to.
I see. And why is that?
''It's not a good idea for human beings who have liberated Toyama Prefecture and [Creation] to fight against both A-ranked Demon King Kaoru at the same time.
You have a point.
'Mmm ... I have a bad feeling about this trend...'

　Kanon's expression, which had been full of confidence earlier, begins to cloud at my answer.

'Kanon, can I ask you one more question?'
Yes, what is it?
Suppose we defeat Kaoru, the Demon King, and then what happens?
'What?　It's a long-awaited war with the humans of Toyama Prefecture!
"War with the humans of Toyama Prefecture.....
'Yes, sir!　It is!
Is Toyama Prefecture's war against humanity about to get tough?
I'm sure it's going to be a tough fight.
"Are the only people in Toyama Prefecture against us?
What?
''Specifically, south of Komatsu City--do you think the Demon King of Fukui Prefecture and humanity will sit back and watch us wage war against humanity in Toyama Prefecture?''
Well, that's...

　Demon King Kaoru is not weak by any means. However, it is possible for him to win. The problem is the next one.

　The larger the territory, the larger the number of enemies adjacent to it would naturally increase.

　If a brave man from Fukui Prefecture or the Demon King invaded while in the middle of an all-out battle with the humans in Toyama Prefecture, would they be able to defend themselves?

　The plan was to grow Level 29--【Creation】to A. The plan was to invade Toyama Prefecture after increasing its strength.

　However, the surroundings don't work the way I want them to.

　There are several plans........well, which one should I use?

　I was to select the most recent future action.
