Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 84

Sergeant Halt. What about that suspicious guy back there?”

Brigadier General Eulenberg.

When I returned to the slum, Iris and General Eulenberg, who had taken control of the thugs as a matter of course, were waiting for me. It seemed that several people from the patrol had already arrived at the scene, and they were doing various things like inspecting the place, blocking the road, and other things similar to the typical police.

“General, take this.”

“?”

I knew that I had to show him the evidence before I could talk to him, so I handed the magic stone to the general.

What is this?

“It is a magic stone.”

I can see it when I look at it. But I have only seen a magic stone similar to this once in my life ……. Sergeant Hurt, you mean?

Yes. , that’s a no way. It would be better to talk about it in detail when we get back to the garrison. We have a public hearing it here.

“……, yes, that’s right. Should we talk about it in detail when we get back?”

The general wipes away his cold sweat.

✳︎

“”Demon !””

“……Yes, no doubt. It had the same characteristics and fighting ability as I had heard about. Especially that regenerative power is unthinkable for a human. You have to be taking elixirs all the time to recover like that.

When we returned to the Special Division’s garrison, I was explaining the situation to Eulenberg, Jet, Captain Siegfried, and the other members of the division.

“Show me that magic stone.”

“Yes, sir.”

Jet wanted to see the magic stone, so I handed it to him. Jet took it and looked at it for a while, but then he let out a big sigh and muttered to himself,

“……, There’s no doubt about it. It’s a demon stone of a demon.

……, commander …….”

A members of the group voiced concern. I saw that they were relatively young members of the corps. No wonder. The last time a demon appeared was a few years before I was born. That was about 16 years ago.

And the one who defeated the demon was my father, Karlheinz, the famous Northern General. What a coincidence that the son of the hero who defeated the demon defeated the demon who appeared for the first time in 16 years!

Well, all jokie aside, the fact that the demons appeared in this way was proof that an situation was developing in a bad way.

“The method by which a human being is transformed into a demon is not clear. It is said that one day they suddenly awaken to their powers as demons, or that they are forced to change into demons by already existing demons. ……, but if this story is true, it would put an end to the demon outbreak .”

“It’s a disgusting way to solve the problem, that the real thing shows up and tells you.’

“Totally agree. …..”.

Now that this has happened, it is no longer the time to talk about the mechanism of the genesis of the demons.

How do we defeat the demons? That was the only thing that mattered.

I defeated the demon by a ‘shock bomb’ after cutting his entire body into pieces.”

General Eulenberg asks for confirmation, and I confirm that I am right.

Yes. Strictly speaking, though, the skill is called “Converging Impact Bullets”. ……Ha had an unbelievable regeneration speed, but apparently there is a certain amount of drainage on the regeneration. If you attack it with a power that exceeds the limit of its regenerative power, you can defeat it .

“Demon fom 16 years ago had the same ability”

“Yes.”

Jet, General Eulenberg, and the veterans who were probably in the division for 16 years looked at each other and nodded. I’m know about it about this from my dad, too,…….

‘Only, I’m sorry Eberhard, but sixteen years ago, the demon was much stronger.

Jet tells me this with an uneasy expression on his face. I, on the other hand, was not so surprised and thought, “Oh, I guessed so.”

“What, you’re not surprised?”

It was a lot less challenging than I’d heard.”

That demon. Certainly, he was strong in his own way. However, his strength was only ” moderate”. I did not deploy the “armor of the general,” and I was able to win without any problems using only the “cloak,” and I was not in any particular trouble.

Of course, I did my best to win, but if I fought seriously, my advantage would not be broken from beginning to end. I felt that I was in a tight spot since the founding of the Imperial Kingdom, or that the survival of the human race was at stake, but I felt that I was overreacting.

To be honest, there are probably a lot of people who are stronger than that demon. Just me, Jet, and Captain Siegfried are definitely stronger than him. I can’t say anything about Brigadier General Eulenberg because I still don’t have a good idea of his abilities, but if several people were involved, even other members of the Special Division would have been able to win the battle without any problems.

Perhaps in terms of rank, he is about A+ rank. He was about the same level of combat power as Felix the “wind slayer” from the past.

When it comes to recovery speed, Eberhard’s skill is consistent with the former demons, isn’t it?

‘Oh, all demons have that kind of recovery power,……. I’d hate to be even stronger than that one t.”

That’s why demons are so tricky.”

et scratches his square-cropped head and mumbles in annoyance. After exhaling, he looked up and said,

Well, whatever it is, we have to report it to the General Staff Council of the Imperial Army. Also, we need to report to His Majesty and the Prime Minister, because even though the demons are weaker than they were 16 years ago, they are still demons. There’s no guarantee that there aren’t others, and Eberhard, the first one to discover it and the hero , and demon-hunting, gets the credit for it.

“Oh, is that the way it’s turning out?”

“Oh. Well, I’ ll definitely get a medal or something.”

I guess I have achieved a great achievement in my fight to protect the empire. Oh no, what if I get promoted to a higher rank or something!

“Come to think of it, this is your first audience with His Majesty, isn’t it?”

“What?”

When I asked this without thought, the members of the special order looked at me as if asking me what I thought was so obvious.

“You. know who’s giving you the medal?”

“The emperor ……?

“That’s right.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Apparently, it’s almost a certainty that I’m going to be granted an audience with the Emperor.

……The Emperor’is someone as great asthat ones from my past life isn’t he? What should I do? I’ve learned manners so that I won’t be embarrassed as an aristocrat, but I don’t know the manners to have an audience with the Emperor!

I am just former japanese! 　Anyway, if I’ m in trouble, I’ll activate the last resort, “DO-GE-ZA”!

I’m even more nervous than when I fought the demon . Having grown up as a military aristocrat, I’m good at fighting, but I’m not so confident in socializing and manners. I wish I was going to battle with the emperor. …..
