Although self-reported, the information obtained from Himikku was passed on to Suela, but I was still puzzled by the operational method.

It's true that if you ask Himik, he'll easily challenge a dungeon or two, and for a demon king's army that's assuming a heroic dungeon, it's definitely possible to get quite a bit of valuable data.

However.

”Never say never, but if you throw them in a dungeon, they'll end up being eradicated. We don't even know what this thing is capable of.

I see. I can't imagine the ability of the twelve angels in the beginning, with only a fairytale knowledge.

”I know.

The first thing I imagined was an infinite amount of destruction. I can't help but feel that I'm going to have to rebuild the dungeon from scratch.

I have no criminal record, but a number of statements confirm that this imagination is not far-fetched.

In a way, it may be settled by trial and error, but it is going to cost a lot of money.

It's truly a high risk/high reward proposition.

Haha, you'll be my training partner for a while: ......

That's appropriate for now. I'll see what else I can do.

”Don't take it easy, you're not alone anymore.

”Yes.

There was no easy way to decide on how to operate such an entity, so I could only decide on an interim measure.

While caring for Suela, who agrees with me, I think about the future.

In the past, I would have been worried about the current situation where nothing was resolved and the problem was postponed, but now, I'm looking forward to the future development of the situation.

Memoria!　This sponge cake sweetness is delicious too!

I'm sure you will.

It's a trivial conversation that makes Memoria look younger than Himik, while Himik looks younger than her.

Just by looking at it, you can feel your fatigue melt away.

You will be able to find out if this is happiness, but you do not deny it and keep it in a corner of your mind.

Jiro-san, I would like to ask you one more question.

”What?

The atmosphere is laid-back.

Is it correct to say she's a third wife?

”Gov't!

Just as I reach for my teacup, Suela drops a bomb on me.

The tea is in your trachea and you can't breathe for a moment, but you calmly understand what was said, and you look at Suela with an intention to know what she means.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a copy of ...... and Evia-sama told you to manage it, right?

”Gosh, yeah, but what's that got to do with my marriage to this guy?

Jiro may not be familiar, but it's not uncommon for people to marry in a way that surrounds them without romantic feelings. Perhaps, when Master Evia said to keep a tight rein on them, she meant to surround them so that they wouldn't let go of Himik?

”Hmm?

For a moment, I wondered if that wasn't aristocratic, but then I thought back to the fact that in the Demon King's Army, which approves of polygamy, that's possible, and at the same time I remembered the supervisor's words.

”Ah, yes, Jiro.

”What is it?

”You'd better consider your excuses for Suela and the others, wouldn't you?

!

”This woman is tolerant, but she is also jealous. At best, you'll leave early and be careful not to get squeezed too much.

The woman is tolerant, which could be taken to mean that she is tolerant of cheating, but before that the supervisor also says: ”The presence of fallen angels is in the interest of our army.

The presence of a fallen angel is also in the interest of our army. ”The presence of a fallen angel is also in the interest of our army, especially if it is a being of stable spirit. And I didn't just give him permission for nothing. I'm just indebted to your work in making a pact with this fallen angel. But if it causes any problems, it's on you. Just keep that in mind.

He made a pact with a fallen angel.

That is, he saw the connection between me and Himik.

So that's...

Oh, I see.

Then the supervisor anticipated the situation and said that I would take Himik to wife.

And I was able to almost guarantee that I would be able to veto that action.

If I were to let Himiku go now, the problem would fall on me.

That would mean the damage would fall on Suera and the others as well.

The outer moat has been completely filled in.

I can't help but think of the foreman's expression with a wicked smile.

”What's up, Lord. You look like you're in pain, are you okay?

No, it's nothing.

”I see!

I had a headache for a moment, but then Himikku looked at me as if to peer in.

Her expression was worried, but she smiled when I said she was fine.

Just seeing that makes you wonder if there's anything that can be done about it, I may have become quite familiar with the customs of our industry.

It's not all over, but maybe this is for the best.

I guess so.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you both.

”It's okay. Hey, Memoria.

”Yes, you can count on me more.

Totally reliable.

I was surrounded by the goodwill of two people who seemed to anticipate my heart, and I thought for sure that I was happy then.

Let's take a firm grip on the facts when dealing with a changing environment.
