𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟕𝟐: 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
“Yes. I am awake, Demon Lord-sama.”
“Hmm. Have you calmed down now?”
“Yes.”
ㅤ
I have long recovered from the Shindou escape shock.
Or perhaps, was she considerate enough not to contact me until now?
. . .The Demon Lord is a surprisingly good boss.
I will not initiate a coup until I am certain that I can kill her.
ㅤ
“That’s good to hear. Now, I will explain the next strategy. Is that okay?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Then, let’s start with the situation report.”
ㅤ
And so, something resembling a rolled-up piece of paper appeared in the arms of the Chaos-chan doll.
It’s a large piece of paper.
It’s much larger than the Chaos-chan doll.
The Chaos-chan doll, who had descended from the mini throne, spread it out on the floor.
The size seemed to make the task difficult, so the Mamori-chan doll also helped.
Watching the two dolls working together, I was unintentionally relieved.
ㅤ
After much effort, the paper was spread out on the floor.
What was drawn on it was a map.
Moreover, unlike the surrounding maps of countries and cities I had obtained so far, this was probably a world map.
And nearly half of it was blacked out.
ㅤ
“Now, as you might see, this is a map of our world.
And the areas that are blacked out are the countries that our Demon Lord’s army has already destroyed.
Here is our current location, the kingdom of Wolfeus.
And our destination, the Holy Kingdom of EhrfleIt, is here.”
ㅤ
With that, the Chaos-chan doll pointed to the two countries.
One of them is a reasonably large country, located adjacent to a black country.
The other is the largest country on the map.
It has a red circle around it.
This must be the Holy Kingdom of EhrfleIt.
ㅤ
“As you know, in this battle, we took the capital of the Wolfeus Kingdom.
With this, the entire kingdom is essentially fallen.
Well, a country is surprisingly resilient, and even if you crush its head, it will move for a while.
But we left Draglight in the royal capital.
The Demon Lord’s main force from outside and Draglight from inside.
With this pincer attack, this country will completely perish in a few months at the latest.”
ㅤ
The Chaos-chan doll used a pen and ink that appeared from somewhere to black out the Wolfeus Kingdom drawn on the map.
I thought it was kind of cute to see it holding the pen with both hands and coloring.
ㅤ
“Now, as you can see.”
“I see. If we take the shortest route, we can advance to the Holy Kingdom of EhrfleIt after defeating three more countries.”
“That’s right!”
ㅤ
. . .The Demon Lord’s plan has progressed more than I thought.
I need to become stronger quickly.
ㅤ
“So, this is the strategy.
I want you to infiltrate into the country like this time and destroy it from the inside.
This is a job that other muscleheads can’t do.”
“I understand.”
ㅤ
In that case, I should start by gathering information, gradually breaking down what seems breakable.
After all, I don’t owe it to the Demon Lord to serve her with all my might, and there’s no need for me to participate in a nation-toppling speedrun.
I will work just enough not to arouse her displeasure, and use the rest of my energy to enhance myself.
ㅤ
“Also, if you defeat three countries, a route for advancement will be opened, but that’s just the bare minimum.
To be on the safe side and surround their headquarters with our entire army, we want to open up several other routes for advancement.
Well, that’s the job of other executives.
Anyway, remember that even if you topple three countries, we won’t immediately proceed to the final battle.”
“Yes.”
ㅤ
That was a relief.
The longer the preparation period, the better.
ㅤ
“Ah, and, I am basically devoted to the front-line battle.
Unless it’s something quite serious, don’t expect help like this time.”
“I understand.”
In other words, she’s completely passing the buck.
Well, I’ll consider myself to have been given free action.
With that time, I will hone my fangs as much as possible.
ㅤ
“Then, this is the end of the talk.
I wish you good luck, Mamori.”
“Yes.”
“And, I will give that map to you.
Then, farewell!”
ㅤ
Thus, the Chaos-chan doll stopped after jumping onto the mini-throne.
Well, then, shall I start moving as well?
I look at the map left by the Chaos-chan doll through the monitor.

The next target is the neighboring country of the Wolfeus Kingdom.
It’s the Awaldia Republic.
