Agur was, surprised.

Although it was given to him by Demon King Vermudol, he was surprised by how wonderful it was.

It was, a lump of hard stone.

More accurately, it was a club that was sharpened from a stone pillar that Ichika broke.

It was much harder and heavier than the tree branch.

Being so white and pretty, it was way more amazing than the thick wooden staff that the Village Chief boasted.

He was the strongest among the Goblins with this, is what Agur thought.

「D, Demon King-sama. This, Agur’s?」

「That’s right.」

Agur was delighted by Vermudol’s words, who was sitting on the throne.

At the same time as that, he thought of the question as to why he was given such an amazing weapon.

However, that would be cancelled by the words Vermudol said next.

「Agur, I appoint you to be that colony’s Village Chief. From now on, be sure to obey my and my messenger’s orders.」

Village Chief.

Agur knew that he himself that become the most distinguished Village Chief.

But, if he had to obey the commands of the Demon King and the person that would be his messenger, he might not be the most distinguished.

Although he had received such a white, strong, and amazing weapon, not to mention the Demon King, he didn’t think that he could win against Ichika who was at his side.

Nevertheless, Agur was delighted by the fact that he himself was the Village Chief.

If he were to say “this is Demon King-sama’s command”, there probably wouldn’t be anyone that would oppose.

「Well then, you can return for today.」

「Y, yes. Demon King-sama.」

Seeing Agur holding the stone club in his arms and running as if he was trying to escape, Vermudol breathed a sigh.

Agur’s Status that he saw with magic was truly something terrible.

Name: Agur

Race: Goblin (Dark Continent)

Rank: F

Occupation: Warrior

Equipment: Demon Castle Club

Cloth Clothes

Rank……that was the thing that signified the quality of the person’s strength.

The highest was SSS, then SS, S, AAA, AA,A, and continued on from B to G.

In other words, when it comes to F, it’s close to the lowest ranking, but according to Ichika, if compared to a normal Goblin, it seems that he has a much higher quality. In fact, there are even examples of trained F ranked Goblins being stronger than untrained D ranked Goblins.

Simply put, things shouldn’t be measured by their rank.

「Still, well……It’s no good for things to stay like this.」

「What do you mean by that?」

Vermudol replied to Ichika’s words with a sigh.

In other words, they didn’t have enough hands.

It would be fine if he searched the Dark Continent with his own eyes, but if both Ichika and Vermudol were to visit several places, naturally, the Demon King’s Castle would become unmanned.

It would have been great if the Goblins were a bit smarter, but judging from Agur, he couldn’t expect much from them.

That’s right, he needed subordinates that he could trust.

However, there was also a problem with Vermudol himself.

He needed to have the ability to use those subordinates.

「I see.」

When Ichika nodded, she stared at Vermudol. After doing that for a short while, she muttered something in just a few words.

「That, is not something we cannot do anything about.」

They could do something about it.
