Chapter 197.5
Monsters also attacked us, but with such a good lineup of people, there was no danger of leaving the battles to them. In the first place, with the presence of the rank 5 Coeurl, monsters of rank 3 and below would not even come close to us.

“…You can’t come back with us after all?”
“The empire is not stupid. If they find out I’m the War Demon, I’ll just bring trouble, and I don’t want that.”
