I Become a Staff Officer in the Demon Army, but I Can Only Do Office Work!

"That's why I got the job."

"... No, you have to visit the Eastern States."

"It's not my story."

What the hell is this? The Devil's Capital is sending you Akitsu Akira.

'I mean, what happened to Sophia? I don't really want to talk to you.'

"She's off duty today"

"... chip"

Mr. Colette, you really have a bad personality!?

Now, Colette Iceberg was supposed to arrive in Shadal, a town that is scheduled to become the state capital of the demonic kingdom-occupied region of Eastern State today.

And the view you see over the comms plane is certainly inside some building, so it's understandable that they got on the shadal safely.

... What, but why are we talking about work from the beginning?

"Didn't you know everything and make this a state capital?

"Sorry, I can't see the story at all"

"... you scum"

I don't know what to do, I can't get back on my feet when they even say scum.

Why is Mr. Sophia off today? Does it make it easier to get this far without Mr. Sophia?

'Well, fine. Anyway, get a job. Or the barracks, or the rule, before that. "

"No, so what the hell are you talking about?"

"It's a residential job, isn't it? Shadal Citizen's Work '

"............ don't you?

"There isn't."

IMMEDIATE ANSWER. A tone of faceless, even natural. How can I not know, this scum, enough to make me uncomfortable that the word didn't last.

"Shadal is the most populous and developed town in the Eastern states, and I have it in the dossier at hand..."

'You really don't know anything... I was stunned. Fine, I'll explain it to you specially. "

"Regards"

Keep your head down over the comms. Although it is a unique Japanese type, the Demon King Army's telecom is a TV phone, so it is not a problem.

Mr Colette said that Shadal - also the town of the old name "Port Boisi" - was occupied by one of the forces, the Empire, and has since been ruled by the Empire.

"Port Boisi is where oil sprays itself. A state-owned oil major has entered and a number of mining facilities have been set up to keep you digging for 100 years of your salary every day. '

"That's amazing. How many million barrels do you feel?"

'... I'm not sure about that unit, but Port Boisi is an oil town anyway. Someone whose half of the working population is miners and the rest commercially deals with their miners counterparts. There are no petroleum refineries, so the mined oil will be sent backwards on the pipeline. This town, in winter, because the harbour closes with ice'

"That's a typical monoculture. But if you have enough oil reserves to blow yourself up, it doesn't look like it's going to deplete soon, and there's going to be demand for oil in the future."

'You, your consciousness is still human. Maybe that's a good place. "

Hmm? What do you mean?

'Whatever you're talking about, I'll tell you politely, but you, have you ever seen an automobile that runs on gas in the Devil's City? Diesel is fine. "

"……… Ah"

"... that's how the station chief often works."

No, yeah, I'm really sorry.

For my demon king's army in basic fantasy, oil was just black and burning water. I don't need it. That kind of thing. Give me more demon stones than that.

"So the demon king's army came to power, demand for oil went to zero at once, and Port Boisi... Shadal's oil industry was destroyed overnight,"

'That's what I'm talking about. As I said earlier, there are no oil refineries in this town. There are only oil fields. "

"... that's a bad thing about the monoculture economy"

Monocultural economy that also plagued developing countries on the planet. The monoculture of crops is famous, but there are also examples of oil and mineral mining.

In Japan, there were many coal mining towns.

In the meantime, such a monocultural economy is devastated in an instant by changes in the world situation and technology and the influx of cheaper overseas products.

Only demon-modified nature and massive unemployment will remain. Like this coal mining town, it would also cause a financial collapse.

"I see, so you want a job..."

'I'm glad you finally understand. I don't even want to count the unemployment rate in Shadal, but isn't there 80% or something? The only people who aren't unemployed are the freaks who farm fine in the oil town, or the people who get the raw materials from somewhere and make the liquor. "

"... Security Are you okay?

'Surprisingly, you're okay. I've been robbed three times today and begged 11 times. "

"Oh, you're not okay at all"

That's right. Even policemen for policing would be desperate to live in this state, and the army is far away.

I will provide food support on a first-aid basis... but for the time being, will I get a job?

"Thank you for your valuable report. Immediately food support and infrastructure development… and then we request additional troops for policing, so Mr. Colette should strive to gather information locally"

'Yes, sir. Well, that's all I have now.'

In such ironic terms, she hung up the call.

... Oh man, the job offering. Whatever it is, I was wondering if you would even do this, even though it is the mission of the station to provide it if you have a request. Is this also the job of the barracks?

Anyway, we need to think of a response as soon as possible.

"All right, assemble all the executives. As for Sophia, who is off-duty today, would you at least like to know if she can attend a conference call?"

... You'll join me because I'm talking about Mr. Sophia, but I'm sure he'll be pissed.
