Corporate Slave Hero Says He's Quitting His Job

"What... this air"

When I got to the village, I first noticed the strange air in this village.

Too much, but a late discomfort, as if you had punched a sweet smell of sugar in the air.

"What's going on, Adele? You look weird, huh?

"Dean, you don't realize this?

"I don't know... I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

I see, Dean doesn't feel it.

If you look at the situation of the villagers a little bit, no one seems to be aware of this air, although they are in a hurry.

"Isbell, what about you?

"That's a little odd... to the point that I think. Hate, I'm less sensible than you."

"No, enough"

Perhaps this sweet scent is magic that interferes with people's consciousness and invites them to certain places.

Some demons are too big to move on their own, so they secrete these fragrances and so on to lure their prey.

In other words, someone, with purpose, is running a magical air into this village.

From what I wouldn't have known if I hadn't come down to the village, it seems the scent hasn't come to a high position.

"Who's no longer an adult in the village?

"Yes, I don't think he's here at the moment..."

"Then you're the type of magic that only works for kids. Maybe if we follow the magic, we can get to the source."

"You're saying there are kids ahead!?"

"It's only a prediction..."

Aiming only at children is quite bad character.

It could be a person or it could be a demon, but either way, it's a pretty dangerous situation.

If we don't help the kids out early, it's irrevocable.

"Together with Isbell, I follow the source of sorcery. Dean, you need to seal off the entrance to the village so the kids don't go anywhere any further."

"Wow, okay... are you guys all right alone?

"No problem. I'll be right back."

I speak to Isbell one word and run out with all my might.

I had a strange feeling about it.

If we don't deal with it early, it's like something's over - that's the feeling.

◆

"Oh, Adele, I can see that now."

"Oh, that's close."

Going into the woods, the fragrance was intelligible and intense.

Ahead, there's the main culprit.

"... Adele"

"Hmm, what's up?

The look on Isbell's face, which was walking side by side, was cloudy at some point.

You look like you're wondering if you're going to say something or not.

"... do you have any idea?

"Huh..."

After a little surprise, Isbell nods one thing.

And I opened my mouth to make it hard to speak from the bottom of my heart.

"This magical feeling... I have a little idea"

"- The Demon Clan?

"Hmm. There's a man in my crew who specializes in these sorceries."

While we were talking, we were getting closer to the most scented place.

Beyond the bush in front of you, that's probably where it originated.

"What's the man's name?"

We jump over the bush and land on the ground over there.

At the same time, a mixed shout of surprise and joy shook the eardrum of the unfamiliar man's voice.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!? Isn't this the Demon King! I can't believe I'm seeing you here...... today is a very good day!

"... Demon King SS, Captain of the Most Squad - - Phantom Road"

When a man flips his flashy cloak magnificently, he tries to walk over with a woman who was holding back beside him.

Phantom Road...... you must have fought only once when you boarded at Demon King Castle.

I remember this magic, although I don't even remember it to my face because I was wearing a mask at that time.

"No, I crossed the ocean and came to such a peripheral land. Demon King Castle is currently in a bad mood. I hope you come back soon......"

"Huh! I can't do that! I'm sick and tired of demon kings... whatever it is, you can choose a new demon king!

"I can't do that. Because as long as you are the owner of the Demon King's heart (...), you will not take over easily. I'm responsible. You have a responsibility to lead the demons. Master Isbell, the Demon King."

Phantom smiles thinly and says so.

Isbell made her expression worse every time she heard the words, and now she stared at Phantom so much that she was willing to kill him with her gaze.

"Come on, let's go back. Because you still have a lot of work to do!

"Go back - stop!

Isbell waves her arms sideways.

Then an ice wall appeared to separate Phantom from her.

"If you're going to break this life of mine, I won't condone you either!

"Hmmm... you have no choice"

Phantom shrugs his shoulders, ringing his fingers once.

Then, at some point, a woman next to him, with a two-handed sword, came forward.

"Irela...... Huh!

"I'm sorry, Demon King. Demon King SS Most Squad Deputy Captain, Irela Flute. I will wave this sword to bring you back."

The woman in front of her, who named herself Irela, waves a two-handed sword beside her in a lateral twist.

I held Isbell in my arms and jumped back.

After that beat, a line of cuts into the ice wall, smashing and scattering.

If you look, there were a couple of Isbell's hair dancing in the air.

If I had stood up like that, I would have followed deep down that it would probably be Isbell.

"Shh, sorry, Adele"

"Be cool. If you don't stay upset with Phantom, you're just out of hand."

Out of nowhere, I hear applause.

It's Phantom.

Phantom raised his admiration, approximating the frustration at the lack of response.

"Oh, I thought you were just a villager, you're in good shape. I didn't know you were going to kill Irela... who are you?

You don't have to talk about it.

I always covered my face with my helmet when fighting the Demons.

So the demons other than Isbell, including Phantom, don't know my face.

If you don't release your magic poorly, you won't even be noticed.

I just don't think I'll have to let it go...

"Irela, stay back. If you're going to deal with the Demon King, you're going to be a little loaded."

"... Yes"

Irela holds her two-handed sword in her sheath and falls back.

At the same time that me and Isbell stood up, the scenery around Phantom began to distort.

It is the fighting attitude of Phantom.

"This is the first time I've paired up with the Demon King. Now, Captain of the Most Squad, Phantom Lord - let me raise my heavy hips."
