Another side
Jiro and the other testers and the Demon King's Army are watching the scene as they frantically run around and prepare for filming.
This is a virtual training facility, and inside the room that controls the space, there are two shadows to look down on.
The surrounding demon king's army beings keep a certain distance from the two and engage in their work.
Needless to say, the demon king and his entourage, Evvia.
Throughout the two of them, the filming location has become a harmonious and lively scene, but the two of them show no particular emotion towards it.
They were neither dissatisfied nor satisfied, but just watching the scene without any excesses.
”So the plan is on track?
”Yes, we have sent scouts outside of Japan and abroad to collect testers, not only in Japan, but also with magic tools, and we have succeeded in securing many people with magic aptitude of more than six at the moment alone.
Yes, that's the world of the brave. There are many talented people. Maybe because of the advanced civilization, the borders of this world are more solid than ours. Thanks to this, there's a lot of procedures to send a scout. But we don't have magic in this world. There are many ways to get past it. Does this mean we can expect more success next year than we did this year?
And what the two of them are talking about has nothing to do with the current filming location, they are talking about the future based on this present rather than the present in their field of vision.
The situation of the present testers is well understood by the demon king's ears.
Naturally, he also knows the low efficiency of all but a few of the testers in their dungeon exploits.
The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle.
This king is the kind of person who responds with rewards for those who perform well, but thinks only of using others.
Even potential hero candidates are no exception.
And the people being used are not aware of it.
The demon king's favorite is the people he can use.
And it's not only dungeon testers who are in that value system.
The demon king's eyes adorned with a sly smile, and even Evvia, who should be watching, is just a cog in his wheel for him to do one thing.
The only difference is whether it's big or small, well-turned or not.
Still, he is recognized by others as a leader because he has continued to show his talent and results.
I admire and follow his strength.
That is the current trend that has formed in the current Demon King's Army.
There are certainly those who notice it.
It will certainly be an improvement over the current situation.
Hmm, okay. Well, if you'd like to catch up, that's fine.
Without changing her expression, Evvia spun the words she had prepared in a manner accustomed to the demon king's questions.
From her point of view, the Demon King is like a sunshine that attracts people.
It's strange to compare the king, who is the head of the demon king's army headed by the god of the moon, with the sun, but there is no other appropriate analogy.
His light (charisma) shines on everyone and warms them.
And it dries them all up and blinds them.
Where there is light, there is darkness, and where there is benefit, there is harm.
The sun is not a panacea.
Just because there are many benefits does not mean there are no disadvantages.
The demon king unites and guides more beings than anyone else, but he cannot lead them all.
Just because you have more hands to scoop up doesn't mean you aren't missing out.
But even if you realize it, you don't say it because it sounds good to you.
Even if the demon king's ways seem cold-hearted, they've saved some people.
Some have seen hope.
One has longed for it.
We'll scoop up what's flowing into the demon king's hands.
Those who look into the depths of the demon king say in unison, ”We'll support you.
”I wish someone like him could find it.
An example like his would be rare.
Such a being is so interested in one person that it is rare in the eyes of Evvia.
In a sense, it is an exception.
A tester, wielding a huge sword and vaguely evoking a certain demon.
The tester wears heavy armor, yet his body hovers like a feather in the air, using the rocky terrain or the head of a monster as a foothold to make a swing that is sharper and heavier than it looks, and then he makes a showy move to draw the enemy's attention to himself.
I'm sure you'll be pleased with the way he behaves.
The demon king nodded with satisfaction at this appearance.
I know, but let's hope for the best. After all, this world is the birthplace of brave men. Please continue.
”Is
As if to show with his attitude that he saw what he saw, he slowly cut off his gaze from the scene and disappeared like a flame from the scene.
The demon king left the scene with a transference spell so carefully and swiftly performed that even a magician like Evvia could not find any words other than ”brilliant”.
Silently, Evvia watched him go.
The demon king is the hope of the demon king's army.
Ever since the continents were divided long ago, the king of the demon king's army's longed-for goal of unifying the continents and uniting the world.
The king to unite the continents and unite the world, the king to unite the continents and unite the world, the king to proceed with the business that he is needed to do, to witness the scene below.
I wonder if the ...... guy can understand the view he's looking at.
And while peering into the depths of that demon king, everyone has the same problem because they cannot stand in the same perspective.
Because of this trouble, Evvia spills her words to the person who is highly valued by the demon king.
The words are tinged with sorrow, which is unusual for Evvia.
The man to whom those words were directed, unheard and blended into the air.
A human wielding a huge black iron sword to slaughter summoned soul monsters.
A man who, less than a year after he joined the company, has grown spectacularly.
The only successful exception to this rule is the one who leads his friends.
And he's even made friends in the devil king's army.
Evvia dreams that such a man would be a distant second in line.
Unlike us who follow him from behind.
...... Don't get any ideas.
Such a thought crossed your mind, but the thought immediately twisted your mouth into a blink of an eye, making the thought disappear in an instant.
The sun is lonely because of its existence, and there is no way that an ordinary person would be able to line up with such a being, denying the words that came out of your emotions by reasoning with your own thoughts.
Even the demon with great power was under it.
Even the undead, who surpassed the limits of life, are under his command.
Even the forest man, blessed by all the earth's blessings, is with her.
Even the giants who can process all things are with you.
Under him are bugs that give birth to life and control it at will.
Even the machine that embodies the power of the ancients is with them.
The dragon, the champion of the skies at the peak of life, is with them.
Was it foolish to think that a being lacking in brilliance and size compared to such beings could be compared to the demon king?
What is the need for such a being to compare with the Demon King?
