Line up!

Big Four, almighty generals of the demon army!

Knight of Assault and Hellfire, Ulmandra!

Conjurer of the Ultimate Storm, Sylphid!

Earth Barrier Knight, Genome!

Overseas Expatriate, Uchimura Dennosuke!

Yes!

Uchimura, you performed very well.

Thank you for the reward.

Come to me after this.

His Majesty has personally asked me to see him.

So this is how being trusted feels.

Your Majesty.

I am once again impressed by your power.

I will work hard to serve you

in the future too.

Uchimura.

What does "king" mean?

King?

Is it the country's leader, the captain in charge of the nation?

Did I give the wrong answer?

Uchimura.

Be the king.

What?

(Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!)

(Episode 12: Ways to Explore Life) Did you just say something?

(Episode 12: Ways to Explore Life) You shall be the king.

You are the king of the new era.

Not happening!

Me as King? That's not gonna happen!

You must be joking.

Uchimura, you are extremely talented.

You have committed yourself fully to us, and you've done well on all your missions.

You even showed initiative and offered suggestions.

But all of these things are within the missions' scope.

Only this much.

At the moment, all you are doing is being a good slave

and faithfully finishing tasks.

Because of your submissive nature, you tend to be accommodating.

In addition, you have a low opinion of yourself.

Don't confuse humility with servility.

You are restricted by something.

I…

I…

I am so sorry, could you please give me some time?

"Restricted by something."

This project can't be handled by a single person.

The deadline needs to be rescheduled or someone else needs to be assigned to help.

Are you kidding me?

Uchimura, you are incredibly skilled, I don't see any issue.

After all, you graduated from a well-known college

and won the president's award, making you a notable individual.

I was too ignorant when I was young.

I had already become a pain in my superior's neck when I realized.

Improvement proposal for the workplace?

You really have ideas.

Keep your mind on the work at hand.

Constantly, my self-esteem takes a beating.

Uchimura, there is no need for you to attend the client contract signing.

Over and over.

Over and over.

Please!

We need more people and machinery!

Over and over.

Am I once again being transferred to a different country?

Over and over.

While in this world, I foolishly thought I had overcome my inner trauma.

It looks like the wounds in my heart have not healed yet.

It turned into mental trauma and chains that hold me down.

For someone like me to become a king like His Majesty…

Perish, Gigadeath!

This is impossible.

The thought of it makes me shake with fear.

Uchimura.

Is it the country's leader, the captain in charge of the nation?

Your thought is right.

But people in this world don't think that.

The definition of a king is very simple.

It is "power."

The biggest danger to this country is "disaster."

Whoever can stop a disaster can be a country's leader.

As long as you have power, you can be king.

Even if that king is not fit to be a leader.

This leads to the continual emergence of tyrants and incapable kings.

People suffer under these kinds of kings.

It causes disasters that are worse than the real disaster in some ways.

My ambition

is to eradicate disasters.

And then…

Completely wipe off those kings.

To accomplish this goal,

Uchimura, you must become king!

The mere thought of "making me king"

seems like an overreach.

His Majesty's expectation for me is too bright to see.

Being loyal to His Majesty and remaining by his side are my only desires.

Live in the moment,

take the easy way out,

and prioritize your life, this is also the correct course of action.

But a leader will bear pain in silence with their will!

Unhealed wounds in the soul.

Bad memories that make you doubt yourself.

No one else knows about your pain but you.

However, I must say it.

Make a choice.

Are you willing to give up and live your life in this state,

or are you willing to push through the discomfort and try something new?

Your Majesty.

I just don't have faith in myself.

If I just do what other people ask of me,

I will not get hurt.

A dream so far from reality is just too burdensome.

I am terrified to take any action without assurances.

I am sure you have what it takes to be a king.

I'm a coward.

I…

Become the king, Uchimura!

I'm really useless.

What should I do?

Think about it now,

when I first came to this world,

His Majesty once said…

Refuse, and I shall return you to your world.

I have no right to force your decision.

I will only let down His Majesty's hopes.

I have no right to stay here.

I should just quit my job as one of the Big Four

and return to my old life as an ineffectual salaryman.

Sis.

What is Lord Uchimura busy with?

Okay.

The handover guide for Orl is now complete.

Now let's sort and file the documents

for each project correctly.

Isn't this a letter from the couple to Chimozu Store?

Thanks for your help back then.

Since then, a lot of people have come to our shop.

With your help, our business has been growing steadily.

Thank you so much.

"We sincerely welcome you to visit again."

I really want to eat it again.

Just like when I was posted abroad,

the most painful thing is…

saying goodbye.

Lord Uchimura, he…

We need to tell Lady Ulmandra right away.

(Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!)

I need to

resign without permission

for personal reasons, and I am sorry for that.

Please approve this.

(Izakaya)

Uchimura Dennosuke.

(Izakaya)

As soon as my resignation is approved,

I will no longer be one of the Big Four.

A lot has happened these days.

Even though I feel lost a lot of the time,

I have great coworkers and subordinates,

and most importantly,

(Dark King) I have the best boss.

It really is a great workplace.

It is clear that it is a great place to work,

but I have to quit

because I am too weak.

Boss.

I didn't order this.

(Dark King) Consider this my treat.

All of these?

Aren't these too many?

Since this store is only open until today.

Well then…

Wait a moment, this is too sudden!

I can't come here anymore, what should I do?

You…

Don't need this store anymore.

You should know that better than anyone.

Don't need it?

What do you mean?

No.

Let's not think about it for now, I need to go say my final goodbyes to everyone.

Hi, Uchimura.

Genome, sorry to bother you early in the morning.

Actually, I…

You came at the right time. Look over there.

There is actually a demon soldier in the demihuman unit?

Following discussions with Ulmandra,

we have decided to begin experimental joint training.

With Miss Ulmandra?

Yes.

The demihuman soldiers who aren't here right now are training with her.

By that point,

everyone had done their part as per your plan,

and we had won the battle.

As long as we train together often,

we will definitely get better at fighting.

If we work together to improve our team's combat skills

and use each other's strengths,

we might be able to come up with a better plan for battle.

That's what it says.

But to be honest,

I'm not sure if I can lead both demihumans and demons at the same time.

Heaven knows what they might fight over.

If there is conflict, it may result in a new rift between tribes.

What can I do then?

It seems endless when I start thinking about this.

She is actually thinking ahead.

But I also have another thought.

Change is not something to be afraid of.

Don't ever doubt our abilities.

You agree, don't you, Uchimura?

Genome.

It was because of you

that I thought of new ideas.

Even though things stay the same,

I will disagree with her when I see Ulmandra.

That's how things are, Uchimura.

I still need your help with realigning our forces and mediating between Ulmandra and me.

I have something to say…

Anytime,

I can lend you my tail if you need it.

Sylphid!

Hmm?

I have something to tell you.

Please wait a moment.

What is that?

I formed a team to improve the gimu.

When was it established?

I've considered this for a long time.

It might help gimu produce more in the future,

or maybe it is the best way to fix food problems.

Makes sense.

But I have always used the excuse that "this is not my professional field"

to avoid dealing with this issue.

Although I decided to take action,

I never imagined I would be involved in such a painful work.

Miss Sylphid, why did you…

Even so, I still want to do it.

After confronting my useless brother,

I was reminded of those useless memories from the past.

It also brought back some very important memories.

People in the village who fed me when I passed out from hunger

were also very poor.

That is when I realized

I should use my skills to help other people.

Work is decided by ability and suitability.

However, true calling is shaped by passion.

"This is what I want to do." "I need to do this."

Thinking in this way can inspire one to take action.

What I want to do… Things I need to do…

However, being able to face myself like this,

I have to thank you, Uchimura.

So you must also face your own heart.

If you can look into your own heart,

the right answer will come to you on its own.

It seems I don't need to remind you.

Sylphid?

Alright, I should get back to work.

Sorry. I am too busy to have a long conversation with you.

Face my own heart.

Miss Ulmandra?

S-She seems very angry.

You seem joyous. Talking and having fun with the girls.

Why do you come to me last?

And now you're ignoring me.

You don't respect me, do you?

As soon as she spoke, she started to complain!

By the way, how were you aware that I visited Genome and Sylphid?

I originally intended to find you.

What was it?

If you have something to say, just say it.

Honestly…

His Majesty has requested me to become the king.

But my confusion grows as I consider it further.

With all this hesitation, you must think I'm useless.

You've finally revealed your weakness.

You've always been flawless, and that's your weakness.

As one of the Big Four, you've fulfilled all your duties.

Because you're too capable, you've forgotten the most important thing.

The most important thing?

Knight of Assault and Hellfire, Ulmandra.

Overseas Expatriate, Uchimura Dennosuke.

Rely on me a bit more, aren't we partners?

If everyone else gives up on you,

you still have me.

So be a bit more confident.

Any kind of king, even a dark king, is within your reach!

Why?

Why is everyone so kind to me?

Wait.

Thank you so much!

Miss Ulmandra!

Don't cry. Hey, Uchimura.

Why do all this extra work?

- Never lose heart, Uchimura. - Just keep your mouth shut and follow orders.

- Lord Uchimura. - You've worked hard. I'll take over from here.

- Mr. Uchimura… - Aren't you an elite? Do your best alone.

Face yourself, Uchimura.

Mr. Uchimura.

Lord Uchimura.

Aren't we partners?

My deepest apologies for the delayed response.

Your Majesty,

your existence is truly overwhelming.

Even though you want me to be king,

I am still not sure what you mean.

But

each of my coworkers

has found a new challenge

and moved forward.

When I think about how they looked,

I remember one thing:

never deny yourself or limit yourself.

And when I look within,

I see that Your Majesty has acknowledged me.

My heart is filled with pure joy because of this.

I would prefer to live up to your expectations than feel uneasy.

I am starting to think differently.

I'm ready to leap into this challenge.

Having said that,

becoming a king as powerful as you

is ultimately a fantasy.

I am clearly not cut out to be a nation's ruler.

Therefore…

To become the ideal king, I want to try new things.

New things?

Yes.

I aspire to be a unique kind of monarch,

not one who uses power to climb to it.

If you are willing to accept it, I…

My goal is to become a king!

No, please allow me to have this goal!

I am still a fledgling.

Please,

Your Majesty, provide me with further guidance in the days to come.

Not only Your Majesty,

I also need the assistance of everyone.

Permit me to go on with the things I am currently working on.

In everything that I do, I will give it my all.

Your Majesty?

That will do, Uchimura.

For the demon army and this world,

let's work together to reach a higher level!

Understood!

Lord Uchimura.

You have been invited to the memorial ceremony of Rampage Kingdom.

Thank you, Orl.

Help me look into the list of guests ahead of time.

I want to negotiate with neighboring countries as much as possible.

Nair.

For the inspection tour in the south, let us stick to this schedule.

Okay.

Additionally, the establishment of the Vermin Control Committee…

Hey, Uchimura!

Let's toast to celebrate your future.

Go get your cup.

Mine?

Yeah, didn't we buy matching cups before?

Oh, that?

It was given to the Your Majesty.

S-Say what?

Toast to Uchimura and the future of this world.

Cheers.

Your Majesty!
