The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero Volume 2 Chapter 18

– 107.167.229.84

In front of the Demon King Castle Front Entrance, two Magic Operated Armors were performing security.

There, a single Majin wearing Western Army equipment had appeared together with the light of Transfer.

「Who are you!」

「I am Dolnois, belonging to the Western Army! I have come entrusted with an urgent verbal message from the Western General Sancreed-sama!」

Hearing the words of the man who named himself as Dolnois, the Magic Operated Armors glaringly looked up and down at Dolnois’s figure.

His equipment was unmistakably of the official style of the Western Army.

Normally, there would be a need to be carrying an official letter, but in cases of emergency, it would be fine to omit that.

In exchange, there was the condition that they would appear in a specified place with Transfer.

In other words, if they appeared in a place other than the designated spot, it was possible to determine that they were an imposter or an intruder.

Rather than being a check to see if they were a real soldier among Mazoku, the implication that it was a countermeasure against the Hero that might come someday was larger.

After the Magic Operated Armors confirmed that the man who named himself as Dolnois had appeared from the Western Army’s designated spot, they nodded and opened up a path.

「You may pass!」

Receiving those words, Dolnois continued on inside of the Demon King Castle.

「This is an urgent report by Dolnois-dono, belonging to the Western Army!」

The Magic Operated Armors’ words resounded in the reception hall. A single man who noticed that stepped forward to in front of Dolnois.

「Ou, good job. I’m Orel, belonging to the Central Army. So you’re a messenger?」

「I am Dolnois belonging to the Western Army. I have come entrusted with an urgent verbal message from Sancreed-sama for Demon King-sama!」

「Demon King-sama has gone out for an inspection. I’ll hear you out for now.」

「No, but……」

「What the heck, am I not enough for ya?」

Orel glared at the all too serious Dolnois. Both of them had reasonable claims.

Orel was technically belonging to the Central Army, and moreover, his duty station was set as the Demon King Castle.

Orel was certainly adequate enough to receive verbal messages when the Demon King is absent……but, Dolnois had the standpoint of being entrusted with an urgent verbal message for Vermudol, so he was unable to judge if it was alright to report it to anyone other than the Demon King.

「Oーkay, okay, Orel, you head over thereー. I’m Rokuna who safeguards the libraryー. Since it’s true that Demon King-sama isn’t here, I will hear you out for now. If you are still dissatisfied with that, then you will have to go around to the back and report to the Central General though. What will you do?」

「……Y, yes ma’am. Well then, I will first report to you, Rokuna-sama!」

「So overly seriousー, it feels like you’ll miss out on lifeー. So?」

Maybe because he had an idea on about what Rokuna’s words could have talked about, Dolnois distorted his face a bit, but getting ahold of himself, he went down to a knee, and took the posture of making a report.

「This is an urgent report from the Western General Sancreed-sama for Demon King Vermudol-sama! In the western land, an unidentified gigantic object appeared at the 『Invasion Coast』! Members of mankind who called themselves Metalio who were riding it are seeking rescue! Right now, Sancreed-sama has made direct contact with them!」

Hearing the contents of that report, Orel and Rokuna knitted their brows.

『Invasion Coast』.

It was the westernmost coast that was associated with that day that the Hero had once invaded.
