153 149 The efforts we have accumulated will be a strength. (2/2)

I was a party to the incident and I remember it so clearly that I can't erase it in my memory even if I wanted to.

If there's someone who can easily forget the memory of being eaten, I'd like to meet him.

A seventh general's seat is now vacant and fortunately I'm inundated with letters of recommendation from various noblemen to fill the position. If I had to, I would have quashed them, but a vacant seat is a problem, and the Demon King's Army doesn't like to have it empty.

”I know, it's like saying, 'I have a few main strengths,'

I've been thinking about choosing a new general, but isn't the Demon King's Army a meritocracy?　In addition, it is a pride to be powerful. It's not an easy decision to choose one of them.

Indeed.

Speaking of generals, they are one of the biggest forces in this demon king's army.

They are so powerful that they can influence the outcome of the war just by sending them out, and they are in charge of a dungeon.

In addition, they have gained immense power.

I know there are many people who want such an important position and it's not easy to decide which one to choose.

Not that strength is not enough, but does one have to be strong to become a general?

”Oh.

So they decided to make the strongest person to be the Shogun so that no one would have to shut up and admit it, so the finance department made a lot of noise about getting some money at the box office, and the planning department twisted its head around the idea of holding an arena, and Jiro entered the tournament.

”Wait! That's a bit of a jump, how did that happen?

I have the position of chief, but it is far faster to count from the bottom, and in terms of power, it's a position where I can compare the back of an acorn with an ordinary employee.

Why should I participate in the battle to determine the general, a position that is far quicker to be counted from the top.

”The recommendation of the demon king and the immortal king...

Okay, I have a hunch. By the way, how good are the guys in it?

When Kaylee mentioned the names of the instructors, I knew there was no way the two of them would miss such a festive event.

The only thing they call a candidate for the championship is the ability to fight the demon king.

”You want me to die?

Complain to the demon kings. You're the messenger.

You can definitely tell that those two are doing it for fun.

But the fun is not in the form of a joke, it is in the form of fun that includes the exact possibility of a fight.

The instructors do not have the pleasure of watching a fight for which they know the consequences of not winning.

Perhaps, but at your current level of ability, however, you have a chance of winning at least barely realistic numbers.

Looking at the conduct of the instructors from their training days who told them to fight to the death and gave them training, this idea does not seem to be out of line.

The martial arts competition is an unbelievably noisy event.

The reality that you are forced to participate in an event where a crowd of fierce fighters gather makes me want to cry.

You're right, Kaylee is right... this is bad for me.

Thanks to the red letter of recommendation from the instructor, I have almost no veto power.

In this case, my once legendary boycott of the modern world won't work either.

Huh? At best, you'll do your best not to get hurt.

It's the only thing I can say to you. Don't make Suela a widow.

”I don't want to die without seeing my child's face.

The best thing to do would be to declare yourself the winner, but there is no way you can make such a naive assumption.

Fighting an unknown enemy, a being with an intelligence different from that of a monster.

I hope you are not overwhelmed by this, but I'm afraid that it's no use thinking about it now, so I swallow my sigh and listen to another story.

And then?　What's a little bad news?　If Kaylee says she's going to have the ceremony before I do, that's great news, oops.

I'll hit you!

”Don't say it after you've hit me, it's an irony for bringing it up earlier. Just brush it off as a joke.

”What do you say to me when you take it in, it wasn't funny for a joke.

I also thought the joke was a little too black, but I put down my right hand, which blocked a straight that would have broken one of my back teeth if I had been struck honestly.

”Don't tease your sister at all,

What's a bad story, which brings us back to the topic at hand?

”You know there are several arms stores in the underground facility, right?

”Oh.

Of course you know that I deal in magic swords, right?

That crazy performance weapon

The effects are quite impressive, just as the name of the magic sword suggests.

But the price is high.

I was shown a sword that made me go mad instead of becoming a master swordsman.

If you're of common sensibilities, you'll be dissuaded from using it just by hearing the cost.

As well as the existence of its creator, if someone were to use it, it's hard to imagine who would use it.

That's the magic sword. It seems that one of the magic swords is missing.

”Missing?

Yes, when I was doing inventory, I found out that the owner of the weapons store hid the magic sword from us. It's not public knowledge because it's a thing, but people are looking for it quite intently. If you see one, don't touch it, just call me.

Surely a bit of a bad story.

More of a warning than a bad story.

”Is your magic sword in trouble?

Well, that's pretty bad.

I think it's common to hear that there are dangerous things out there and wonder what they are.

I asked Keely what kind of magic sword it was.

”Is it a magic sword that is extremely thin and can be used to assassinate anyone?

”Hey, what's this handy assassination primer magic sword?　We're just trying to get to the dungeon, right?

Don't tell me. The giants made it because they wanted to make sure that some of you would be able to safely complete the dungeon. Well, one drawback is that it also dilutes the user's memory information, so people won't recognize you and forget you exist. So we don't know who stole it.

How was it found out? How would you know the magic sword is gone if its existence is diluted?

”Oh, that's okay, the information on the magic sword remains strong. Only the user will be diluted.

”What an unbalanced magic sword.

If you look at the scene of its use of the magic sword, only the magic sword seems to be floating in the air?

It's unsettling to see an object that could be a disaster, depending on how you use it, missing, but there's no point in telling her what to do right now and right now.

By the way, why were you the first to tell me?

”Because you seem to be loved by the commotion.

When I asked him why he rejected me, he replied that it was because I've been in too much trouble lately, a reason that was hard to deny, and I had to smile.

Word of the Day

Being recognized for your abilities is a basic good thing, but it can also be ...... more work.
