The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero

Book 2: Chapter 34

The ones gathered in the Grand Library that was in the underground floors of the Demon King Castle were the top members of the Zadark Kingdom.

The Northern General Altejio.

The Southern General Raktor.

The Eastern General Fainell.

The Western General Sancreed.

The Central General Gordy.

Furthermore, the Library Guardian Rokuna.

And then, the Demon King Vermudol, and Ichika and Nino who were under his direct control.

What gathered them together was only this council called the Central Council.

The Cardinal Council, which was the usual council performed, was where one of the Four Cardinal Generals would make a summons and hold it within their respective territory.

For the Cardinal Councils, Gordy and Rokuna would not go to them unless they had business in the council.

If Vermudol had the time, he would sincerely show his face, but in cases where he couldnt attend, either Ichika or Nino would go to them as messengers.

In contrast, the Central Council was where Gordy, the Central General, would make the summons in the name of the Demon King Vermudol.

The rule was that the conditions for the summons was that it had to be a case where they would decide important matters of the entire Zadark Kingdom.

In other words, since this matter fulfilled that condition, attention was naturally gathered on Gordy and Vermudol.

In particular, Gordy had gathered gazes in a different meaning.

Todays Gordy was in the Majin form that no one other than Vermudol had seen before.

It was a figure that could be perfectly described as a female knight that wore full body armor and had a red-haired ponytail butsomehow, there was an artificial beauty to it.

The Gordy in question simply quietly kept silent.

That gaze was fixed on Vermudol.

Before long, after Vermudol turned to Gordy and nodded, she finally opened her mouth.

I am grateful to you all of answering this abrupt summons. From hereon will be the honorable words from Demon King Vermudol-sama.

Continuing on from that dignified address, Vermudol started talking.

Now then, well start immediately butFirst, I will start from explaining the reason for the convening of this Central Council.

Saying that, Vermudol leaned his back onto his extravagant chair.

This chair was an article that was presented to him from the Norms, and was something that Ichika had brought in from the treasury not too long ago.

It couldnt be said to have an affinity with the furnishings that had a calm design that were within the Grand Library, but it could also be said that the exquisite choice where it couldnt be said to be too out-of-place was very much like Ichika.

As everyone knows, I had gone to mankinds territory not too long ago.

Hearing those words, everyone nodded.

Mankinds territoryIn the past, the Hero Ryuuyas group came to the Dark Continent from there.

When Vermudol declared that he would be taking Nino along with him to mankinds territory, almost all of the members here were jealous of Nino.

It was because everyone felt that they themselves were Demon King Vermudols most loyal retainer, and thought that they were the appropriate capable person to accompany him.

There were reasons as to why Nino was chosen. At the time, Nino had few jobs that she was in charge of when compared to the others, so it was easy for her to move about.

Going even further, the fact that Nino had an appearance that was hard to be cautious of was also somewhat related.

Raktor was clearly a dangerous person, while Ichika and Altejio were hard to approach, and since they gave too much of an impression that they were sharp and able, they would cause others to harbor unnecessary wariness.

As long as Sancreed was his trump card, he didnt want to move him all that much.

Besides, his Heroic personality was a catastrophe, and if handled unskillfully, there was also the danger of him sticking his own neck out into needless situations.

Fainell and Gordy didnt have any problems in terms of personality, but due to their appearances that stood out, there was the possibility that they would invite trouble.

If only personality and appearance were taken into account, Rokuna would have been fine as well, but with a pair of two Magicians, that in itself might be suspicious.

In any case, everyone remembered that timeand everyone other than Nino, who made a subtly triumphant face, expressed similarly bitter faces.

Only Rokuna made a face that said that she didnt care.

I gathered as much information I could in mankinds territoryAlso, something that actually had something a bit to do with our people.

Information gathering andpreventing the rumors of the Demon Kings revival that were in mankinds territory.

Having thought that the Mazoku that were in mankinds territory just on the level of being remnants, Vermudols anticipations had virtually collapsed after going there buteven so, there was information that he wouldnt have known if he hadnt gone.

He could only obtain fragmented information about the crucial fight between the former Hero and the Demon King, but even so, he was able to make estimations about the historical past and about the future to a certain extent.

With Rokunas cooperation, it has finally been organized into a state where I can report it to everyone.

Vermudol said that, and survey each of the gathered faces.

I would like for you all to listen to the details I am going to tell you from here onand give your opinions on it.
