48 45 Dont you want to hit a pile of work papers once in your life? (1/2)

Another side

As planned.

In a large, luxurious office corner, the room is dimly lit because the curtains are closed off to block out the sunlight.

Through the screen of your computer, the only light source in the room, you can see a human being surrounded by it.

It's also comical when it's surrounded by humans.

Even a demon lord is not all-powerful.

Even Evvia of the Annihilationist will have to overlook my plans.

Where there's advantage, there's justice; where there's power, there's principle. The beautiful things humans say are worthless in this world.

You smile and lean back in the fine chair you've acquired in this world.

But the technology of this world is not to be trifled with.

With this communication technology, you'll be able to rouse the army at will.

Then you would overwhelm an army that is behind in technology.

That man, who seems quite capable for a human, is in my hands as well, but now we are in the realm of speculation.

”How will you handle this?

That's the area I like.

I move slowly through mostly unknown territory, fearing the unknown, the unseen future.

It's a shame, if you ask me, to go down a black and blind path with your feet on the ground, checking your foothold firmly.

It's no exaggeration to say that the outcome of the game will be decided in the preliminary stages.

But that would be boring.

It could go either way.

Isn't that fun, the game of the unknown and the unknown.

A screen with several angles, and you can do the same thing with magic, but this one is clearer and doesn't crush the user.

”Look at me, look at me, look at me

The situation is as bad as it gets, if not worse, because you're dealing with a manipulated colleague.

It doesn't mean that cutting him down won't be a problem, and it won't make him crippled.

But that doesn't mean we can't win the fight, the opponent's abilities are far from perfect, and with his status, it won't be easy, but we won't lose.

It's not a sure thing, but in things, you never know what's going to happen.

It's a standoff now, but will things start moving quickly?

Yeah, it's starting to work after all.

It seems to be a group of course that's moving.

Of course, I'm running things.

But people here are funny.

It's so easy to fool them just by smiling.

Is this what you call easy?

It didn't take long for them to brainwash you, and they thought you were part of their family because you're their employee.

You are still in the midst of testing, and as a member of the demon king's army, this time you should give up and be manipulated as a lesson.

Now, how do you think you'll react?　I'm still confused as a human being, right?　Would you be angry at me for not being able to see?

The first move is a party of wizards with feelings of resentment, or perhaps even jealousy, against him.

It's the worst-performing and least useful party in the world.

Why did I decide to use this formation?

Well, okay.

I moved it for his sake, and I'm sure he'll be a little confused, but I'm sure he'll move to subdue it.

”Huh?

Now I think I sounded very stupid.

This is still part of the demon king's army.

It's not that I couldn't see what he was doing.

This bewilderment wasn't a response to not knowing, but to how quickly he responded.

As soon as you started chanting your magic, you jumped at the first wizard, dug your foot into his abdomen, hunched over, and then, with your momentum, clipped his head with your knee and threw him to the ground with all your might.

Yeah, not dead, just not dead.

I'm trying to give the guys I'm controlling some freedom of action to intercept them, but three of them got killed while I was stunned.

That's a martial art called earth wrestling, right?

I think it's called a German Suplex.

Rather, I can't help but be surprised at your relentlessness.

Isn't it normal to be more confused and hesitant, to try and fight it out?

Thus, how despicable!　And such a terrible thing!　Like .

Isn't this a scene that shows more righteous emotions?

At least not in a scene where they let you blow smoke out of a cigarette at leisure, like you do, right?

Oh, that's funny.

It's hard to tell which one is the villain, and your armor fits our vibe.

I'm going to have to be serious about this one!　I'm getting excited!

Unbutton your shirt, unbutton your tie, and roll up your arms!

Hmmm, if I could fight directly, I'd win in no time, but it's fun to limit it this way!

The strings at his fingertips move freely in a hand-rolled frame.

Yes, his companion is the easiest to use of them all.

He's well-balanced and can move well.

The others are a little harder to move than the others.

It turns beautifully vertical.

Alright, the magic chant is over, dude!　Huh!　Kick it off or it will, yeah, and now the bow!

Oh!　That's how you avoided the upper body warping in the movie!

Ah!　Also crushed.

Go then!　It's a magic triple shot!　Oh, I used Zee as a shield.

Well, it's okay, because he has the life force of a demon king, and now, let's bring in the girl party!

This won't be able to attack in a hurry, and, oh, Zee's being used as a weapon.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that either, right?

I don't think it's a good idea to grab your foot to shoot back magic, no matter how strong it is and use it as a shield.

The girl's party has started firing magic on its own.

Well, that's not a problem, but what should we do?

I would absorb the magic as it decomposes, and then end up absorbing the magic from my body after approaching it, but I don't think I'd hit a girl, as expected. ...... Yeah!

The girl party was wiped out!

You outcast!　Zee is not a weapon!　You'd be dead if you were thrown from that height!　They're not dead.

A strange liquid was splashed on the ground and the smell of it made the girls faint!

I'm serious!

I'm channeling my magic to them for indirect physical enhancement!

Oh, they're starting to use enhancements, too.

Form up and oh, they'll crush you before you can form up.

No, it would be better if I had a few of my men with me.

We're still managing to hold together with just his people, but that's the only part we can cover.

I've stuck him in the wall, choked him off, and slammed some of them to the ground as hard as I could.

I know you're trying to add or subtract from the fact that you're not using your back weapons, but honestly, you're not doing it.

It's more like a lack of motivation than a lack of ability.

I'm stuck.

We're stuck, and in a few minutes they'll be wiped out.

I was going to try to get the first spur of the moment to put up a good fight, but my outlook was a little bleak.

I was going to try to bring a good game to the table to upset them at first, but the outlook was a bit bleak.

The healers have been suppressed, the wizards have been wiped out, and the vanguard with only two men has just been overrun.

We have no problem with our abilities.

”Well, how do you think the elders are doing?　For me, I don't mind pulling him in,

Stop moving your fingers to dismiss this as the end.

There aren't more than a few moving threads left to begin with.

I'm tempted to have a little more fun, but the end is the end and I have to accept it.

If you cut the string off, there will be no evidence.

No one but me and the old man on the screen who came on board with the story will ever know.

That leaves one screen of him, and the rest of the screen shows the people who were watching this not-quite-battle game.

I see, it's going to be useful in terms of fighting.

But isn't too much combat power a bit too dangerous?

The fact is, if we are in danger of an uprising, we are in danger.

”You don't seem to be worried about that, do you?

”Lord Soda, on what basis is that?

With the stress of the unfamiliar environment relieved to some extent by this battle, I smile and answer the old men's questions with a pleasant sense of fatigue.
