I had decided to return after the audience with the demon king was over, but after I left the meeting room, aide Barce stopped me and said.âThank you for your good work, Vaito-dono. Itâs already the time for lunch, how about going together?âThe ryujins have the image of being difficult to approach because of their lizard faces, but in reality they are a sagacious and rational race. Particularly, he seems to have a gentle personality.
Even if we are both aides, he is a senior, so I accepted the proposal. Which reminds me, there is a high class cafeteria here for the executives.âThank you very much. This hungry wolf would accompany you.âWe, the ryujin and werewolf Aide duo, proceed towards the salon for executives inside the castle.At the entrance, the ryujin soldiers saluted us. We enter while quietly returning the salute.Since I had never been to such a high class place in my previous life, this is not a bad feeling.Although the level of civilization is different, but it imitates the pleasant feeling of family restaurants of my previous life.
I order the inujin waiter for the deer saute and the potato stew.(TN: saute is a quick fried dish with less amount of oil)This being the lunch, I ordered the saute for only three people. Itâs not good to eat too much.Somehow Barce has his mouth open, was something funny?He had ordered the stir-fried fragrant grasshopper. Ryujins are fond of eating insects.(TN:Â Picture of stir-fried fragrant grasshopper)
During the time the food came, we discuss like the officers of the army.âIs the northern battle front too fierce?â\n
âYes. Donât say it to an ordinary soldier, but the defeat is highly likely.âOrdinary soldiers wonât come here, so we can hold these conversations. Drinking the lemon juice, Barce lightly sighed.âThe second division ignores the tactics, every time they conquer a city, they donât do siege warfare. They just rush forward breaking the castle walls by force.â
As a result, all the humans run away from the city and take refuge in the nearby cities. In other words, refugees.âThe refugees, to take back their homeland, organizing the volunteer soldiers, with the allied army that came attacking. With morale on the high, they fight with their life on the line, it exhausts the battle prowess more than expected.ââBut that is only militia without the proper training, right. Isnât is ineffective against the kyojins or ogres of the second division?âThey are idiots, but strong are anyways strong.
Then Barce shook his head.âYou know, there are more radiant churches in the north. They are systematic, and have capabilities as soldiers.âThe harsh climates in the north suited the doctrine of âcooperation and unityâ of radiant church. If it is individualism like the stillmoon church, passing even a single winter is also quite difficult.âThey are not afraid to sacrifice an individual for the whole. Thatâs why, it becomes a war of attrition by all means.â
Because the food arrived at that moment, we halted our discussion for a moment and bit onto the food. With my werewolf fangs, I enjoy the dripping juices of deer meat to my heartâs content.But there are plenty of methods to avoid the war of attrition.âTo avoid the war of attrition, donât they do defensive battle in the cities they have acquired?ââThe second division destroys the castle gates and castle walls, which are not even needed to be destroyed, just to test their strengthâŠâ
Explaining to me, Barce gradually became more and more angry, and muttered holding the stir-fried grasshopper.âThere is no regulation or order in the second division. Do they even have the realization of carrying the flag of his majesty, the demon kingâSorry.I, too, didnât have much of that realization.\nWhile I am relishing the deer meat, someone came to the cafeteria.âAra, isnât it Vaito. How rare!âWhite skin and black hair, and then the dress exposing the skin. Swaying breasts.Appearance of a bewitching beauty.I lightly greet.âLong time no see, Mereen-senpaiââNo, no, itâs fine with Mereen-samaââI donât want to.â
Mereen is also an aide in the third division, but among them also she is a top level character.At the same time, she is the first disciple of division commander Gomoviroa. She is my senior apprentice sister.By the way, she is a vampire.Not a succubus.
Barce also greets her, and offers a seat.Mereen-senpai sat next to me with a smiling face.âThe leader of the Blue Scale order and the commander of Ryun Height, what is the private talk?ââNo, itâs not a private talk. I was just explaining the situation of the second division.âThoroughly diligent Barce, explains in a gentle tone.
Mereen-senpai orders soul sake, and then sighs while leaning on the chair.âYou are also greatly troubled, Barce-san.ââNot as much as you people who are ruling humans, Mereen-dono.â \nI, again, felt satisfied of the fact that I am enrolled in the demon army.
