Chapter 36
In my next regular reporting, I conveyed the proposal from Airia to the Demon King.“Hmm, I see
”This is the Demon King’s office, and there is no one other than me. Surprisingly it is a simplistic small room.The Demon King nodded a little, and muttered.“It is a bold proposal, but it suits reasons as well as benefits. Looks believable, Baito, what is your opinion?”It’s not Baito by the way
”
I Immediately, in order to persuade the Demon King, opened my mouth.“So far from the sequence of events, Ryun Height’s Viceroy Airia possesses rational thinking, and can be judged as wise and sincere.”Of course these are my true feelings. I unmistakably think of her as the Viceroy’s vessel.“Further, our army has favorable relations with the various forces of Ryun Height, the possibility of occurrence of a fatal problem can be considered low with this alliance.”Since the most problematic Palace Guards and Radiant Church became meek, there are no big obstacles.
The Demon King was listening to my views silently, but soon he nodded deeply.“This is a proposal with huge benefits for our Army. But this affects the future of the Demon army, so I must examine it carefully.”Of course, a little time is needed, isn’t it

The Demon King, turning pages of the report, asked.“At the time of Tuban capture, I heard that you used all the ‘Dragon’s Breath’. Is there any discrepancy?”As expected it got exposed.Straightening my back, flusteredly I answered.“Since the success or failure of the strategy was going to affect the situation, to be absolutely sure, I used the entire amount.”Actually, if we could not broke through the castle gate there, then we would not have captured. I am not regretting the fact that I have used the gunpowder barrel.I accept that I overdid things.
I thought the Demon King would get angry, but he just nodded silently.“Very well. However, this being a top secret, and also the best operational procedures are not established yet, so for the time being, abstain from using this strategy. Is that good?”“Yes.”“Instead, from now on, I will hasten the research on castle siege war.”Oh, I am really thankful for that.\n
“Regarding the usage of ‘Dragon Ball’, I have received the report. Since the effectiveness was confirmed in a real battle, you can continue research under the Dragon Flame Mechanic Division.”“I am grateful for the blessings.”If I can use those fireworks, then some sophisticated tactics can be practicable. I am also thankful for this.The Demon King got up from the large chair, and muttered looking at the scenery from the window.“The plants inside the fog also have a fresh color.”“Oh it’s almost summer. Speaking of fireworks, it should be summer.”“It’s just as you said.”Gleefully, I deeply nodded.
Wait.Isn’t it strange?
Turning around, the Demon King is staring at me.『What is fireworks, Vaito!』“Yes, that is
..”『Those things i did supply to thou art Dragon Balls. Then what is fireworks?』“Fireworks is
.”At that moment, I realized an outrageous thing.
From a little while ago, the Demon King is speaking in japanese.『Thee understandeth Japanese, right, Vaito!』The Demon King addressing me in fluent japanese, pronounced my name correctly as ‘Vaito’.I don’t understand anything anymore.
No, I understand exactly.The Demon King is also a Japanese, same as me.“Perhaps, your Majesty, the Demon King is
..”Being careful thoroughly, I asked in this world’s language, but the Demon King no longer paying any attention to it, answered in japanese.『That’s right! I am a reincarnated person. Same as thee.』I shouted instantaneously.“What’s that!?”\nOffering the confused me to sit, he said in japanese.『Alloweth me to talketh in order. Sitteth for a while, and won’t thee listen to mine own story』When the dumbfounded me, sat on the chair, the Demon King said 『I knoweth not if the Japan thou speaketh of and the Japan where I wast, were whether the same period, or the same world or not』 as preface and spoke in this manner.
When the Demon King was reincarnated in this world, the conflicts amongst the Ryujin clans were becoming more severe. The cause were the humans.For the development of mines, the humans drove away the Ryujins living in the mountains. As a result, the clans, who became refugees, invaded the mountains where other clans lived, and it became a dispute.
Fearing this, the Demon King with a large military force as the background, united the entire Ryujin race. The united Ryujins finally succeeded in recapturing their old home from the humans.Then, to protect all the surviving demons, he formed the Demon army and brought in other demon races.
Although in the past there were many heroes of the demon race, who were called the Demon King, but the one who organised the modern army for the first time was only the current Demon King Frieden Richter.With an efficient organization system, the fights with humans were succession of Victories. Using new tactics which were not yet established, at a stretch he raised the Demon army to an invincible combat group.That would have been like that. Because he has the knowledge from his previous life.
..Damn it, that seems fun.
『I couldst not arriveth at the conclusion that there art other reincarnated persons. Engrossed in the war day after day, there wast no such a scope too. But then, thee hath appeared.』In the beginning, the Demon King did not recognize me and thought of me only as an excellent subordinate.Since he is not very good at pronouncing my name, when he inadvertently called me as ‘Baito’, I made an unpleasant face, there I caught his eye a little.
Though, if someone is not called by their correct name, anyone would be unpleasant.Thinking like that, the Demon King forgot about that immediately.After that, it seems he practiced so that he could pronounce it correctly.『You sure are more hard worker than I expected, Demon King-sama』『Since I feel guilty towards the subordinates who putteth their lives on the line
.』
He felt the genuine problem, when I tried to make gunpowder.『Dragon’s Breath
 I mean gunpowder. When I did learn that thee did want to mix that, I felt something unexpected』If a modern person becomes a soldier after reincarnated in another world, at first he would certainly try to do that.There is no way of not being suspected.At times, deliberately calling my name ‘Baito’, he observed my reaction.
But, this time also the Demon King could not reach the conclusion.If he is the disciple of the Great Sage Gomoviroa, it is not strange to realize the preparation of gunpowder. \n『Yes, certainly.』
