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

Clerical processing, which meant I was supposed to be involved in the "barracks" to support the Demon King's army under the brink.

A barracks station is, well, the point is, should I say military work other than combat?

There is no cut when defined in detail, but the most famous and important job of the barracks would be "replenishment".

"Prepare what you need, wherever you need it, when you need it, and the number you need. That's what soldier stations do, or supply jobs. 'Soldier stations alone can't win wars. But there's no war without a barracks." - There was a word like that in the world I live in. "

"Huh."

When I explained to Sophia, she looked like she hadn't come by the pin yet.

Therefore, it is our turn to explain today.

An army can be likened to a spear.

The spear tip is the battle unit, and the pattern part is the barracks unit.

The spear tip has a sharp blade. With that blade, the spear defeats the enemy. But in order for a spear to be a spear, it has to be supported and there has to be a "pattern" that secures the intermission that is the hallmark of the spear.

No way would there be one that would hit it directly on the enemy with only the spear-tipped part. If you're going to do that, it's faster to hit him, and it hurts your hand with the spear tip.

In order for the spear tip to be a spear, there is a "pattern" that supports the spear tip and ensures the range.

In other words, in order for a combat unit to become an army, there is a "soldier station unit" that supports the combat unit and ensures its combat capability.

I have heard that in the case of modern armies on Earth, for example, the percentage of combat units in the United States Marine Corps is about 20% of the entire army. The remaining 80% are on the back, occupied by non-combat units such as supply, repair, hygiene, facilities, information, public relations, administrative and human resources.

So, what about the demon king's army's barracks?

"We're back now, Akira"

His Majesty Hell Arche, for some reason, came to the station station.

I'd say go back to your room, but it's been like this ever since I was summoned. That's why I stopped poking around. I'm just tired.

"Good day, Your Majesty"

"Oh, I'm tired. How can a human being not give up?"

And even today, he seems to have swept away a couple of divisions (one division = about 10,000 people) of the badly given up human army. In a physical sense.

Today, it may be said that the Demon King's Army is preserved only by the power of His Majesty the Demon King and the SS under his command.

"How's your job, Akira? Are you used to it?

"Yes, thanks to the care of Mr. Sophia and His Majesty..."

Mr. Sophia is diligent.

That means she was originally the secretary of the Demon King's Army executive. Now they're treating me as an executive, too. That's worth it. She works better than me.

... Probably enough not to need me.

I would have traveled to another world by now without His Majesty's impoverishment that it would be a waste of interracial summoning magic.

Like the other side of the Three Ways River.

"Right or right. Then I guess I don't have to worry about killing you for the time being, huh?

The slaughter that unleashed me for a moment turned against me and I sweated strangely. Stop it, Your Majesty, because it looks like it's tickling.

"Oh, yeah, Akira. I want to behave like alcohol to the regiment. They're all together. They're pythons, so make sure you have enough."

And liquor demands from threats. How cunning...... But I'm a man too, I have to say what I say.

"I'm in awe.... but, Your Majesty, including that, there's a consultation."

"What?

I could not reluctantly tell His Majesty the Demon King until now, but there will be many more of these things in the future.

It should be easier to say it early, but still deal with it. So say it courageously. Even if His Majesty's eyes were slightly lifted when he said "consultation", I say!

"Um, I hope now... next time I say that, I'd be glad if you could make some paperwork..."

"Paperwork?"

This is the demon army's barracks situation.

This army has a hell of an underdeveloped barracks.

No documents were prepared for requests for supplies, mostly verbal requests. There is a lot of paper to the point of writing notes, but not even that.

It would be easy to tell which unit is asking for how much supplies, if any, the paperwork...

"... that's a hassle. We'll figure it out verbally."

His Majesty the Demon King's sloppiness or sloppiness, such a character is disastrous and document management is not formed.

At any rate, few orders even exist. Mostly verbal.

Often this impresses me that the army has more of a country than a... I don't know about Home Affairs.

"But it's up to me to think that the smooth activities of the military require paperwork. If Your Majesty wants to painfully bust the badly given up human army, he knows it would be a good thing in the long run to start with the little hassle of this hand."

It is the Demon King's Army that will be able to use such bureaucratic language in a few days.

Why don't you guys get a job. Now the dog... and the wolf girl will follow me as a secretary. There is no coverage to go back to the original world, so there is no payment for transportation.

"Akira."

"Ha."

"What if I made a paperwork that would really help our army move smoothly?

Scary Scary. My eyes are seriously scary.

"Half yes, half no. No effect will be expected in the short term. Anyway, this is a situation that I do with Mr. Sophia, and given the circumstances of His Majesty's army, we almost have to form an organization from scratch, with a long-term perspective."

"Troublesome rhetoric is good. Let's be clear. When is that supposed to happen?

Your Majesty, who gouges his face close.

His Majesty's face is amazing as he slapped his clenching fist against his desk and approached it until his exhale hit his face. Is this the Demon King?

"... at least, like, 10 years"

I don't think I'm going to end up in 10 years building a new mechanism from scratch within an organization I already have, but I couldn't tell you a bit because I'm going to say "Well, then it looks like it would be quicker to kill you" if I offered you more time.

"Well, will it be over in 10 years"

No, I didn't say it was gonna end, did I?

I need you to wait for only the lowest and eventually about 30 years......,

"That's surprisingly fast! I thought it would take a hundred years to tell you the long term!

"Eh."

Wait, 100 years?

"Heh, Your Majesty. Exactly, I can't live 100 years..."

"Hmm? Oh, don't worry. The shorter life expectancy species working as my subordinates carry out lifetime frozen magic except in part. Akira won't be old until I'm dead!

Hey, wait. I didn't hear that.

"I didn't say that."

Don't read your mind!

"Demons and others have a long life span from the base, so I don't have to worry about it. Goblins, orcs, and, exceptionally, people like you are allowed to do that."

"Oh, really..."

I think so, and I look at Mr. Sophia.

She had room for me and Her Majesty to process oddly few documents for the size of the army.

But you noticed my gaze, and she answered my question without any gaze over here.

"Dear Akira, I do not practice His Majesty's lifetime frozen magic. Because beasts originally have a long life span."

So don't read your mind.

What? Are you good at reading minds about demons and beasts?

"Akira's easy on the face."

No, really. I wonder why you're reading your mind, Your Majesty.

"Well, aside from that, I got the paperwork. I'm not saying 10 years for the organization, but do it carefully for 100 years or so. The human army won't get away with it because it won't give up."

And don't worry about the booze.

Leaving it at that, His Majesty left the room.

... In the meantime, maybe we should talk about staffing enhancements.

---

I need formal documents and paperwork to do anything. People, call it documentism.

You can't get anything done without a formal document, and if the document is in the wrong format, it needs to be corrected or recreated.

It's troublesome, but it's important to leave evidence.

But I can't leave it digitally, so it's hard to store. There is also a need to set storage deadlines for proper disposal.

"So I first made a formal example of a formal document for the supply relationship. Mr. Sophia, do you have any questions?

Not that it's a medieval European-style fantasy world, but because there's such a convenient thing as magic, mass production of paper and ink itself was easy if you meditate on quality.

But in Mr. Sophia's words, I notice a more serious fact.

"So can I just say one thing?

"Anything at all?

What I didn't realize about that was how modern Japan is amazing.

"What can I do for those who can't read or write?

".................. eh"

I didn't have that idea.

Very few humans can read or write in modern Japan.

The very idea that some people could not read or write letters did not come to pass. Does that mean the drawback of documentism? No, I don't think it's funny in the first place that I can't read the letters as a matter of official business...

I knew education was important.

"How many people can't read and write?

"Corporal, you can't read or write the following general soldiers for the most part. I don't think even an officer can read half of it."

Oh, my God.

In the meantime, I need to ask His Majesty Hell Arche to think of a way to make it by referring to education as an effort goal to come...

"Let's do this, then. Hire this formally documented replenishment request only for large units led by high-ranking officers at the outset, and then gradually lower it depending on your level of education."

"Okay. I'll tell each department that."

All right, all right. This is a small step for a soldier station unit, but I once wondered before I got to the emotion that I wish it would be a big step for the Demon King Army...

You said you'd tell him now, didn't you? Not a circular or anything.

"Mr. Sophia. How do you tell each department?

"Oral or ideological waves or communication magic, if necessary with magic props for communication"

"Documentation, please"

Building a barracks system, not too long way? I wonder if it will be over in 10 years......
