The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero Volume 2 Chapter 21

At the westernmost part of the Zadark Kingdom, the 『Invasion Coast』, there was the figures of two groups.

On one hand, there was the Western General Sancreed and the western army that was under his command.

Right now, they were busily moving around and setting up a temporary building.

On the other hand, there were thirty Metalios getting down from the gigantic, tattered ship that was floating on the sea.

There were twenty men and ten women.

Knowing the Norms who had similar appearances to the Metalio, the soldiers of the western army worked while making complicated faces.

「……Is this everyone?」

「Yeah.」

Borkio answered Sancreed’s question.

Among the Metalio that were on board the ship, the number of people that had injuries to the point that they couldn’t move was five men, and the number of people that were suffering from sickness were two men and four women for a total of six sick people. In addition, it seemed that there were a large number of people that bore light injuries.

The ones that couldn’t move due to injuries or sickness were carried to the temporary building by the soldiers of the western army.

In the building, spare futons brought in from a nearby fort were prepared. Since they were aired out every several days through Sancreed’s thorough leadership, they were probably much more pleasant than the ship’s beds.

「Sancreed-sama!」

「What is it?」

Sancreed glanced at the soldier who came running with a panicked look.

「V……Ve, Vermudol-sama is!」

「……I see.」

The soldier who was overly nervous and astonished couldn’t let his voice out, but Sancreed guessed the situation.

「Bring them here.」

「No, that won’t be necessary.」

「Yahhoー」

The ones who had come walking over were the Demon King Vermudol, and the advisor Rokuna who protected the library.

Seeing the figure of the Demon King who had come to a place like this, one could tell that nervousness spread out amongst the soldiers of the western army.

「So the Metalios that were mentioned……ahh, so it’s them.」

「A, are you……the Demon King?」

Vermudol gave a nod to Borkio who had a dumbfounded look.

「Yeah, I am the Demon King Vermudol.」

「I, I see. I am the captain, Borkio.」

After nodding to Borkio’s self-introduction, Vermudol continued his words.

「I see. So, could you also tell me your peerage and your role in the St. Altlis Kingdom?」

「!」

Seeing Borkio’s clearly surprised state, Vermudol breathed a sigh.

Thinking “there was no way I wouldn’t think he would try to gloss over it”, he felt that it was just a pain.
