Lord Bashbarza!

You look as awesome as ever today!

Yes, I know.

The greatest genius in the whole academy.

I do tire of hearing that.

Perhaps I should teach it a different phrase.

Bashbarza?

I have something to tell...

What is this?

Do not enter without permission.

Do not enter!

Does it interest you?

Then I suppose I have no choice! I shall make an exception and tell you!

I am in the midst of creating a compressed magic weapon.

I see.

Using mythril, with its high magic absorption rate, as the main material,

a number of magical elements are combined.

Though continued compression,

magical energy hundreds of times stronger than it was originally is stored...

to create a mega-bomb!

With this, I shall reign as the greatest of any of the Four Generals in history!

But doesn't this need a tremendous amount of mythril?

It isn't a problem.

I'm having it delivered at four times the old pace.

I hear that they're having trouble on site.

That's what makes it perfect.

That mine retains traces of Dariel's contributions.

It makes you want to torment them for no reason, doesn't it?

That's actually what brings me here.

The Mythril Mine has been stolen from us.

Huh?

They say the humans are already in full possession of it.

Th...

That can't be!

The situation is even more grave than that.

Someone wants to lodge a complaint with you.

A-And who would that be?

Who dares to rebuke me?

I'll drive them out of the Demon King's Army!

It's the Demon King himself.

Wha?!

Episode 4

Dariel Negotiates.

You know...

I really love a festival.

Admiring the pretty flowers...

while eating yummy food and drinking alcohol!

And I have the court ladies dress up all pretty, too!

In accessories made of mythril, you know?

By the way...

I've heard that the all-important mythril is gone.

What is the meaning of that?

I told you so many times.

Why didn't you stop trying to make that bomb?

The portion... allotted for a-accessories...

was in... the additional order...

The one for four times the normal amount?

That's asking for the impossible, don'tcha think?

The accessories thing was all just pretext anyway.

What?

It was to get you to stop trying to make that bomb.

I was trying to be nice so that your pride wouldn't get wounded.

But you are so much dumber than I thought you were.

You have made an epic mistake of unparalleled proportions.

You need to make this right.

Right here, right now.

Now, say you're sorry.

What?

When you mess up, you're supposed to say you're sorry, right?

B-But this was all because the Knockers...

Say you're sorry!

I... I...

I-I...

I am...

very...very sorry.

The idiot has gotten just a teensy bit smarter.

Ya know, you should have him help you out more.

Let's see...what was his name again?

Oh, Dariel!

Now, he's what you'd call gifted.

He's smart and kind.

And the reason your papa served so well as one of the Four Generals...

was because he kept soldiers like my Dariel close to him!

If you understand now, then you can go.

Make sure you reflect on yourself lots at home before you come back, 'kay?

Now, what will you do?

After all, Dariel isn't here anymore.

He called me stupid twice!

And...

even His Majesty the Demon King...

said that guy's name!

Mister Dariel...

This is the first time I've seen Lux Village so lively and bustling.

Different kinds of people will start coming here, and it will get even busier.

That's something...

we'd want to show our children as soon as possible, don't you think?

Oh, but please don't worry.

Even if I have children, I'll be sure to treasure my husband as well.

Why is she saying that to me?

Th-That's a lovely notion.

L-Lovely?

M-Mister Dariel, I just know you'll make a lovely father, too!

S-S-So...

will you be my f-f-f...

f-f-fian...

Fight!

Hey you! How dare you talk about us like that!

Sorry, Malika. I'm going to go over there.

Oh...

Tonight is the Great Feast,

so, please... come home early...

won't you?

I feel like she was about to say something terrifying.

No. I'm sure I'm just imagining it.

Who d'you think you are?

Stop right there.

Big Bro!

But he was saying that adventurers from the countryside are fakes!

Pardon us.

I am leading a group of adventurers dispatched from Campbell Town.

My name is Fittbitan.

H-Hello.

I had heard that this village had only two adventurers.

Could it be that you...

Oh. Yes, though I'm just a novice.

D-rank?

I suppose the rumors are just that, then.

I'd heard that the the two of you had recaptured the Mythril Mine.

What sort of sleight of hand did you use?

We were lucky, that's all.

Must have been. You're D-rank, after all.

You little...

Don't.

But that guy is talking about you!

We will take over all work relating to the mine.

You two can return to doing your odd jobs.

And...

Keep that disrespectful youngster there on a tight leash.

Speaking of Campbell Town...

you were the ones who went after the blaze deathscythe, weren't you?

You know about that?

Well, it did come to our area.

According to what I heard,

the adventurers of Campbell Town tried to corner the blaze deathscythe and failed.

And the area it escaped to was Lux Village.

The blaze deathscythe which you allowed to escape was

first spotted again by this man.

He doesn't need a leash.

Big Bro!

Let's go, Gashita.

That's right!

The one who took down that stupid snake was my big bro!

He's the one who cleaned up your mess!

You should at least say thanks!

Th-This is bad!

I ended up picking a fight with them!

Th-The blaze deathscythe... You say you defeated it?

I'd heard some rumors, but...

That's incredible!

A single adventurer from Lux Village hunted it down?

Huh? Oh, um...

I can't believe it!

Yes, I did manage that somehow.

I did think I might die, though.

Incredible!

He killed it in a one-on-one fight?

That's an A-rank deed!

For real?

Wow!

He's an A-rank adventurer! An A-rank!

Huh? Oh! Just... Wait!

Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray!

I learned after I got home...

that the ones who made the mistake during the mission...

were in Fittbitan's party.

Chillin' in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army

What does that mean, Gashita?

I told you already!

That adventurer named Fittbitan...

was talking trash about my big bro!

I shall end him.

That's just like she was when she killed the deer!

Anyone who dares act discourteously toward Mister Dariel...

shall pay for it with their life.

Get his ass, Malika!

Stop that, Gashita!

Now, let's calm down.

I can understand how they feel.

It may surprise you, but adventurers only have ranks to prove their worth.

That has nothing to do with this!

To hurt Mister Dariel, my husband...

I'll never forgive them!

What?

Oh!

N-No, it's not like that!

Wh-When I said "husband" I meant in the future.

I-I have to go check on the food!

H-Husband?

Big Bro! C'mon, drink with me!

Oh, right. Guild Master!

How's the revival of the village comin' along?

Oh, that's right!

Wasn't that the purpose of this gathering?

It's not good.

Is that so, sir?

Sir?!

Not in that sense...

Take good care of my daughter, son!

That's not where I was going with this!

Wow! Congratulations! What happy news!

No, I didn't mean...

Stop that right now!

Everyone, let's discuss the revival of the...

The one who's gonna marry my big bro is me!

Yeah!

This is a complete mess.

Did you say negotiations with the Knockers...

Mister Bestfred?

Yes.

I came from Center Guild to speak with them,

but they are wary of me for some reason.

They've said they won't agree to anyone's words but yours.

The Knockers were tyrannized by the demons...

so it may be difficult for them to trust any outsiders right now.

Then, I wonder why yours are the only words they trust?

Well...

They seem to feel that I saved them from the rule of the demons.

I see.

Then, for the negotiations to proceed smoothly,

will you act as an intermediary for us?

If the negotiations end in failure...

What will happen to them?

The cooperation of the Knockers is absolutely essential!

But we don't want to force them.

That is why we hope for your assistance.

All right.

You must all be feeling nervous,

but won't you please hear what he has to say?

All righty!

Wha?!

We'll listen to everything he has to say!

Thank you so much!

I will be able to handle the rest myself, so...

Of course.

And suddenly I have nothing to do.

Maybe I'll head home.

Oh!

It's the A-rank guy!

Shh! Don't talk to him!

Hello.

I-I heard that management came to ask for you in person.

Yes. What about all of you?

As you can see, we're on a bodyguard quest.

We won't let a single one of them get past us.

Knockers, my friends!

Please, come home to us.

His Majesty the Demon King has forgiven you.

This voice...

I have to... use the bathroom!

Wow!

He must really need to use the bathroom.

Lately, I've realized...

that if I wrap myself in Aura instead of sending it into my weapons,

I can run faster.

There aren't many soldiers.

A human?

What are you doing?

It's an enemy adventurer!

Withdraw, adventurer!

We have no intention of fighting.

Fall back now, while we can.

Sir!

Rizet, it's me!

What?

D... D...

Dariel!

I was so worried about you!

Everything's been such a mess since you left!

That's right.

This is what a hug is supposed to feel like.

What have you been doing all this time?

Tell me everything.

He says to tell him everything, but...

I-Is it because of back then?

Huh?

Because on the day you were fired, I said those mean things to you?

What?

You have it wrong!

I didn't say those things because I hate you!

You know I didn't actually mean any of that, right?

After all...

you're my...

my...

This guy.

He's always let things get to him too much.

I guess I have no choice.

I know.

Rizet, it isn't your fault.

I...

The truth is, I'm a human.

What?

Really?

Keep it just between us, all right?

All right.

So... what happened to bring you here?

What happened? Well...

It's all your fault.

Me?

Day-to-day operations in the Demon King's Army are just horrible right now.

When you were acting as an assistant, it was different.

You'd take that idiot son's unreasonable orders and relay them in a milder form.

And you provided as much back up to everyone in the field as you could.

But...

Having lost all that, the chain of command is on the verge of collapse.

Right now, everyone in the army, from top to bottom, is mad about something.

The final blow was a reprimand from His Majesty the Demon King.

That idiot son's been taking his anger out on everyone he meets ever since.

"Idiot son"?

We've been ordered to keep our hands off the mine.

Then why are you here?

I have permission from his majesty the Demon King.

I need to properly reconcile with the Knockers and resolve any grievances.

We must show the other demi-humans that we can do this.

They are the precious foundation of the Demon King's Army.

This guy really is an earnest one.

Say, Dariel.

Yeah?

Why don't you come back to the Demon King's Army?

Don't ask the impossible. I told you, I'm human.

If I keep quiet about it, it's fine!

The top officers fired me.

And among those top officers, there is someone who wants you back.

What?

Lady Doroye.

She's been looking for you this whole time.

Dariel, even if we're from different races...

you're my friend!

So, come back to us!

I'm sorry, Rizet.

I'm happy you feel that way...

but when I was fired and didn't know what to do, some people took me in.

Right now, I want to work for their sakes.

I'm sorry, but I'm taking you back even if I have to render you unconscious.

You are needed!

I can't go back...

but I've thought up a good idea.

Would you guys like to buy some mythril?

What?

Sell mythril to the demons?!

Are you in earnest, Mister Dariel?

Yes.

Which is why I had a representative of the demons come here.

But this is our turn to monopolize the mythril, isn't it?

Exactly.

For the demons, the mythril shortage is a grave problem.

That is precisely why they will come to take it back.

And humans will, of course, respond to their attack.

If both sides clash...

it will become a gruesome battle.

That would be the worst case for both sides.

But if they were able to maintain a supply,

the Demon King's Army would not attack.

Still...

I have no intention of giving up our advantage here.

which is why setting the negotiated price...

at four times market value seems appropriate.

That seems too...

We demons...

would like to replenish our mythril as soon as possible.

Even if we fought, that would not absolutely guarantee such an outcome.

As such, we are not unwilling to solve the problem with money.

Just a moment, please.

I am against this.

Asking us to sell you mythril because you've lost access to it...

Now, that's brazen.

Talking things out with the demons after all this time...

Impossible!

That's why we must.

Mythril is trivial...

and now no one's blood will ever be shed for it again!

That is why we will talk!

Such arrogance from a mere D-rank...

My lord Bestfred, these negotiations are meaningless.

Why?

Well, because...

When I ask "why," that is not what I am asking about.

The services I've requested of you are security and escort. That is all.

You are the brazen one here.

Advice on political matters is not a part of your quest.

Let's return to our discussion, Mister Dariel.

This demon is someone we can trust.

That's why I had him come here...

all alone...

risking his life.

Honored demon guest,

we shall share our mythril with you.

Then, as to the details of the transaction, first...

Thanks to you, I was able to apologize to the Knockers, too.

Thank you for everything, Dariel.

No, thank you.

If you hadn't been here, I wouldn't have been able to make a bargain like this.

Both are precious to me.

You mean both demons and humans?

Yes.

If Lord Granbarza hadn't taken me in when I was a baby,

I would have died long ago.

At some point, race has ceased to matter.

It would be nice if everyone could be friends, wouldn't it?

That it would.

You mean... a smithy?

Yes. We'd like for you to build a mythril workshop.

I've heard that there was one in this village long ago.

So, he wants me to find it and revive it?

Could this be it?

Master smiths of Campbell Town!

Keep your hands moving!

A-Are they... already doing something here?

Next time on Chillin' in My 30s After Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army...
