38 35 The authority to appoint personnel shall be in the hands of the Devil King (1/2)

Another side

Then we're done with this one?

MAOcorporation's top floor conference room, where top managers unrelated to the military service (dungeon) were holding meetings.

A demon king is sitting at the top seat, smiling and talking happily.

Next to him is Evvia, who manages the images projected by magic.

The content of the video is the result of a personnel reorganization, the results of an earlier unannounced audit, which resulted in several staffing changes.

The contents are written down in the video.

The expressions on the faces of the demon king who didn't see it and the executives who saw it are diametrically opposed.

The majority of the executives, all of them demons, not a single human.

Their gazes sometimes look at the image, even at one point in the image.

”Your Majesty, that human certainly has a track record. But isn't it too early?

”Hmm, what's the problem?

”Our history has not been one of conflict with man, and I fear we would have unpleasant problems if we were to include man in it.

The old dragon points out that we're not talking about any important positions.

If we were talking about positions above the chief and plain.

Normally, there would be no need to overreact, but all the people here, with the exception of the demon king and Evvia, are neither careless nor insulting, and their words are carried in their eyes.

I've heard that he's getting along well with our employees and, to a lesser extent, the goblins?

”It's only on the surface, man is cunning and cruel, you don't know what's in his heart.

If you only listen to this conversation, it would be composed of the demon king telling his subordinates that he is fine because they are getting along, and advising them to be more careful, but I wonder how many of those words would be real advice.

In Evvia's gaze, or rather, from the nature of the demon, it's easy to understand that the majority of the members here are averse to having a foreigner called a human being among their people.

And they are slightly afraid that their foothold, their position, will be threatened.

She has the ability, but she doesn't say it, but Evvia inwardly whispers that she's getting old.

Evvia can assure you that this is not possible if you deal with it properly.

He has ambition, but not ambition.

In fact, the man under discussion here has a character that would be much happier if only he had the promise of a reward.

Knowing that, it's easy for her to dismiss her concerns here as moot.

Hmmm, to sum up your words, he's the only one who disagrees, isn't he?　But it is inscrutable. He followed our reasoning and showed his power in this conspiracy. then you, as the witch king, must respond to that power. And what do you think about that?

””......”

There's no need to refuse.

The demon king's army is a meritocracy and will use anyone who has proven their abilities, no matter what kind of being they are.

It will never go away as long as there is an unwavering presence who has risen to the top not by blood but by merit.

Besides...

”But

”Yeah, if it's not reasonable, reject it.

This demon king, who looks like a young, inexperienced young president, is a good young man with a smile on his face, but in reality, he is able to penetrate the inner thoughts of his partner.

It is also a good idea to avoid wasting time on human subjects who are secretly wondering why there is a better demon race than them.

I'd like to say that, but then I'm just being selfish. All right, here's what we'll do then. I'll let you choose the men who can fit into the position. If you were better, you'd be sorry to give him the seat back.

The demon king with a smile and a compromise plan, the past demon king was, at best, a bundle of leadership, at worst, a dictator.

Thus, he listened to his subjects' opinions and never bent them.

Whether that's good or bad is not relevant now.

All I can say is.

Hmmm, is that about right?

”is appropriate

The demon king did not make the suggestion just now out of kindness or goodness.

The meeting ended with the other board members showing their understanding of the demon king's words, slowly walking down the corridor, murmuring to the demoness walking behind the demon king, a gesture of confirmation.

This way they have no excuse. For our part, it doesn't matter if he stays in his seat or gets swapped out.

”Although there may be some complaints from the testers,

I'm sure you know what you're talking about. I'm sure there's no better cog in the Demon King's Army than that in the newly established department.

The demon king is convinced that their election will be fruitless.

Their election would be a labour of love, but even if it ended in a labour of love for them, the demon king could show that he had given them one chance to redress their grievances.

From the side, it's like a battle for the chair, and you don't know who will be seated in that seat, but to the Demon King, he can say with a certainty as if the future is fixed.

”Well, what's next on the agenda?

”Please settle the paperwork in your room.

”Hmmm, can't I run away?

If you would like to add three more mountains to the list

That's a bad idea.

She didn't chase the Demon King who literally ran away long ago because she didn't like the paperwork, but went on with her work and by the time the Demon King came back, she was waiting for him with literally four mountains of paper.

When the demon king tried to escape again, she said a few words to him

The next three are

Even the witch king did not ask what.

You could have known without asking.

But what was amazing was her ability to stop the demon king's movement with a single word.

It was a novel way to stop the top-ranked warrior without telling him not to run or work.

There's no escaping from the demon king.

How ironic that the demon king can't run away from his papers.

”Did you get my letter of appointment yet?

The departments will be notified tomorrow.

”Hmm, I wonder what he'll look like?

”......

Most of the recent audit was staged by the demon king, who planned and directed the act.

It is unheard of to try and strengthen the defense (dungeon) to prevent the brave candidates from being brave, and there are no achievements.

There is still a lot of room for improvement in work efficiency and organization.

This reorganization and the opening of the new department is part of it.

Well, I'll see where he works next time, but Evvia, could you do a little less paperwork?

”It's a new business and there's a lot of unfamiliarity with it, so we'll be around for a while longer.

Huh, why didn't my predecessor put a lot of effort into training the Home Secretary?

Grieving won't make the pile of paperwork go away.

”Hmmm... It's too much trouble, let's just use body strengthening magic to get rid of it all at once.

”Remember the other day when you did that and let loose a sneeze and turned a document into confetti?

”Hahaha, maybe I'll have the development department make some paper that won't tear when I sneeze.

”The door made by the giants is a sneeze proof paper with the power of cracked doors?

Yeah, you can't.

You'll be able to get the most out of it.

It's not just a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, it's also a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's not that you can't see the difference between the two, but you can see the difference in the cost and the time it takes to make such a thing.

''Hmm... Are there any other departments that need to be improved?

Ostensibly, the departments are generally OK, but there is a noticeable overload of concurrent work in the Commercial District, Development Department and Materials Department. We may need to divide up the roles a bit.

It's a matter of course, but doing something unfamiliar to you still brings up problems.

Yes, this is the first time for us to introduce a corporate system in Japan, so it's a bit of a stretch for us.

”Testers too?

”Ha!

I know, I've never used a human before either.

A new department that came up on the agenda of this meeting, the department to manage testers.

The tester section, a department created under the human resources department.

Originally, the human resources department was responsible for managing all testers, correcting reports, reporting to the development department, distributing initial equipment and other dungeon testers, but the human resources department also had to manage internal and external personnel.

It was when Evvia decided that this was not efficient enough and applied to the King of Magic to improve the environment for the testers.

This is the so-called ”tinkering”.

”The results of the testers are difficult to grade on a whole. There are some good parts, but the bad parts stand out more. The old man's attention is drawn to that part, too.

”I should have paid a little more attention to the quality.

It's time to wait and see, but if it's going to end like this, it's time to go. I'm not worried about it because you understand that. You've already recruited for a second term, haven't you?

But the act is also an act that drives us off a cliff with the combined assessment of the report and actual progress.

We are still some distance down the cliff, but the cliff's end is in sight.

At that stage, take the trouble.

I know it's necessary, but I can't help but feel that it's still emotionally extravagant.

”Ha, already.

”Okay then.

That's why you should always run around and try to break the ice and get away from the cliff.

It is not a position that you can reach by idleness, such as climbing up to the Demon King's entourage.

This is a seat that will be easily shaken off unless you are good enough to drink tea elegantly on the back of a rampaging bull.

Doing nothing is not an option.

And the demon king's good-bye wasn't just for Evvia.

It was also addressed to the testers who aren't here.

There's a big difference in values between the devil king's men and the Japanese.

A mistake on the job in Japan can be fatal by itself, but it will not necessarily lead to your life.

But the Demon Army is different.

A mistake on the job means death, and if your neck is skinned by the warmth of your heart, you should shed tears and say thank you.

The Japanese who are willing to make mistakes and the demon king's army who are strictly ordered not to make mistakes. The difference between the two is not small.

You cannot survive within this company by simply doing your quota.

It's meaningless if you don't show your value.

There is no tomorrow if you keep saying ”but”.

I wonder how many of our testers understand that.

At least none of the testers who have quit so far have understood this.

”Wishing isn't the only way to make a wish come true.

”Promotion?

Yes, I received a letter of resignation from Jiro-san in recognition of your last action.

Isn't it early?

When you submit the report from the last audit to Suera in the human resources department, you look at the object handed to you by hand and look at it carefully as if you saw something unbelievable.

Then, recognizing in reality that it is not a fantasy or a surprise, you accept the envelope that probably contains your notice of resignation from Suera and say what you think as you go.

It's not even half a year ago that I joined this company.

If it was a normal company, unless you were well connected and talented, you would not be talking about it.
