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

So, the reality isn't that telling a good story doesn't mean you'll have less work - is it Dejav? Ma, well, it's my fault.

As soon as the ceremony was over, we at the station didn't want the routine to come back.

"Dear Akira, I have a message from Mr. Daurosh of the SS..."

"Chief, I knew we weren't paying enough to maintain the cemetery. I was wondering if you could increase your budget."

"Sa, it's just a little hard to turn my eyes... Hih, people, heh, can you increase it?

Director, they're complaining that the demon stone bill for Operation Perseus is still outstanding.

The cemetery, which is nominally complete, is still incomplete, plus a massive influx of normal operations there, plus the disruption of Operation Perseus is still drawing tail, and the barracks station is a chaotic chaos of chaos.

"Wait, wait, don't talk at once. I'm not the Holy Prince!

"Why didn't you say something I don't understand? Please work, Master Akira?

"Director!"

"Dear Director!

"Hey, Director!

"Ladies and gentlemen, my requirements come first!

"This one's urgent!

"We need to start with more people!

"All right, in this gap -"

"Juliet, no running out!

"Yes, Juliet, first of all, you still have a job, don't you?

"Isn't that the same for all of you?

…………

Yes, then, ladies and gentlemen.

"Ugh!

It's only painful to be told by a woman, even though she's not hot. It's not the woman who pushes me, it's the job.

And only when he says so, will a man come to the station who does not want him to come.

And as always, with the momentum blowing through the door!

"A - Kira Chi Wo - - Mmm! You're here -!?"

"Leona ah! Hey, when are you gonna open the door normally!

"Until Akira gives me a temporary budget!

"I don't give in to threats like that, so open it normally, please!

Leona Calzette, a fanatical magic researcher proud of the Demon King's Army, a cat tribe with a mysterious haircut called Quadtail, is about her.

"You know, I came up with a good thing--"

"Rejected"

"I haven't told you anything yet!?"

"Get out now"

"That's just not terrible!?"

Mm, that's true.

I told the truth about being entwined by a super troublesome guy named Leona in the overflow of work.

"Dear Akira, aren't you thinking about being very rude right now?

"Nannokotokasappari"

"Chief, that's too much reading."

Damn, Eli finally read my mind!

"I don't think that's the problem with saying that..."

"I'm not sure if Mr. Director is an idiot or an idiot."

Hey, you're selling fights. Oh, shit.

"Better than that! It's my story, Akira!

"Yes, yes, what are you talking about?"

It's a hassle to go in now.

Let's listen to Leona.

At the moment of the decision, Mr. Sophia, the following four people will look obviously frightened and scattered.

Fighting that we should have been the first to do something for me (?) I was just doing it. I'm sorry.

Damn, we're busy here. It would be nice if the Bureau of Development were free.

"Huh. Listen, surprise me! In the name of Operation Perseus and so forth, we, the Demon King's Army, take His Majesty..."

"Briefly, please"

"I've created a new statue!

"You really don't need it on the front porch!

I mean, what are you making on your own!

Of course not from the barracks station, you didn't make any demands or demands from the combat unit!

"Well, I don't know. Plus, Operation Perseus broke a lot of demon statues, so think we need to develop demon statues to fill them up!

Soviet Union or you.

"... but well, it's certainly urgent to reinforce the demon statue"

The main weapon of the Demon King's Army, the Demon Statue.

It was this guy, Leona Kalzette, the chief magic research technician at the Demon King's Army Development Agency, who created it all by himself.

And he also studied the demon stones needed to move the demon statue, and he was not an idiot as good as he could have imagined from his strange behavior and hairstyle - he was a researcher.

Well, I made the kind like an idiot, so until I reformed the barracks, the demon statues and demon stones were too diverse for the crime scene and me to cry.

Such a bureau is also very important since the start of the barracks reform. That's enough.

"So, what kind of guy did you make? Yeah, why don't you just briefly explain?

"Yeah. First of all -"

Briefly, I said, but the furious explanation began, so Bassari cut.

First of all, to counter the firepower of the human army, he narrowed the development to an improved Armored Demon Statue with an emphasis on armor. I can understand this.

The human army already has artillery, machine guns, fighters, armoured ships and even chemical weapons in action. The Demon King's Army must fight this.

So Leona said he used the rare metals, Orihalcon and Mithril, to improve his defense, and this time developed a demonic statue that wasn't even a direct hit from the anti-demonic statue cannon.

"Plus, I've mimicked the weapon the human army uses, the Cannon, to create the Magic Cannon! Now the firepower is equal! The armor's perfect and nothing's wrong! Exactly the perfect super demonic statue!

"Uh, yeah. Wow, wow."

Mahblah, even if the station told me how awesome this place is academically, it's puffy. Modern earth common sense doesn't work, especially in sorcery relationships.

That's why I have to evaluate it in terms of the sight of the barracks.

After reflection, I made a decision.

"Not adopted"

"Why not!

"Simply put, it's cost."

Weapons don't mean we have to be strong.

Sure, a strong weapon is full of romance, but in reality, the budget is the first priority over romance.

"Leona, there's a concept in the world called 'lifecycle costs'."

"Hey, that."

Yeah, I thought so.

Lifecycle costs, abbreviated as LCC, are "the sum of all costs incurred by deploying it".

Specifically, "the sum of installation costs + operating costs + renovation costs + disposal costs".

No matter how high performance weapons we develop, it doesn't make sense if the cost is high.

And this cost is pretty complicated and confusing. So if you try to explain everything......,

…………

Thus becomes like Leona stationary with Nico's face.

"It was my fault. Let's wrap up the gist."

First and foremost, this demonic statue uses Orihalcon and Mithril.

This metal is a rare metal and is difficult to produce. That means that production costs are high.

It is also costly to train proficiency in manipulating this demonic statue.

"That's the cost of implementation?

"That sort of thing. Well, this time it won't cost a lot of skill training because it looks like an improved version of an existing demon statue, but the problem is that we're using metals that are difficult to produce."

The point is, this demon statue is expensive.

And furthermore, these metals seem to be difficult to maintain.

Stone demon statues made of touched materials such as stone all over the body are cheap at a level where you don't have to think about maintenance costs, but the Koshi demon statues don't.

In particular, the demon statue has weak joints that were demonstrated during the demon image performance assessment test.

The mechanics of the joint parts using orihalcon and misrills, which are complex and difficult to maintain, are... Oh, I don't want to think about it.

This is the operating cost.

Next, renovation costs.

This is a simple story, is it easy or difficult to upgrade?

"For example... right. Surely a general purpose stone demon statue could easily be modified by adding more demon stones or replacing a whole place with demon stones, right?

"Right. Basically, the structure is the same, so if you change the power source, you'll get better performance. Well, I can't structurally do that with this statue of the Kushiro demon... so is that a problem too?

Yeah, big problem.

It cannot be called modernization or conversion to a derivative type.

The evolution of weapons is tremendous. Demonic statues, human guns.

It needs to be adapted to the times and circumstances, but it has the disadvantage that if the modification is not designed on the assumption that there is no room for modification and the duration of the operation will be reduced.

Easy to understand, let's parable it in Lanobe.

There is no doubt that what is required of a commercial lanobe is a "sale" for either one or two.

And what can I do to increase Lanobe's sales?

Interesting or not, it's a multimedia development of serialization and cartooning (comicalization), video, gaming, publishing derivative works, and expanding goods.

but some lanobes are prone to that multimedia, and some are difficult to do.

With enough worldviews and character appeal to make multimedia deployments easier, and with some freedom in those settings, publishers, or producers, will be very easy to do the above.

But in the case of a novel where the setting is solidified by bees, the only way to produce it is to sew in the gaps in that setting because it is too beefy, which is awaited with considerable difficulty and hardship.

In other words, this is the "renovation cost" in Lanobe.

This high renovation cost does not lead to Lanobe (publisher) sales.

"But Sakira. You don't know what the future holds, but design it for it. Why not?

"That does make sense. So it's pretty much a donbury account, but if we leave room for renovation, we can also drop off future renovation costs and the introduction of new weapons, which is cheaper in the long run."

"... I'm not sure"

"I mean, with floating money, new weapons can be studied"

"I see!

What is this?

And finally, the cost of disposal... well, don't I have to explain this? Cost of disposal. That's it.

"So please consider it and revisit the design again."

I can understand the difficulty.

"... I can't think that far. Me. I don't want to use the new technology and say 'Me TUEEEEEEEE!!' with that technology!

"I know how that feels."

It's just really me. Uh, I'm only romantic.

In all seriousness, the benefits are not appropriate for the cost.

To simplify things so much, if it's "a weapon that costs 10,000 yen to kill one person" and "a weapon that costs 30,000 yen to kill two people," you'd better have all three of the former's weapons.

How to reduce the load on the barracks from the design stage requires experts in the barracks and researchers who know the hardships in the field.

Famous for the weapons that did it on Earth would be the FW 190, Germany's leading fighter during World War II.

Linear design improves productivity and develops weapons tailored to the circumstances in the field, such as allowing each unit to be replaced to improve serviceability.

Strong enough, of course, as a fighter.

"Ma, I'm not saying that much... but I want you to keep that in mind for a while before you develop weapons"

"Hmmm...... well, I'll try"

Leona, who can move forward a little bit by listening properly here, must still possess the abilities of the Demon King's Army.
