Chapter 75: Watchdog of Humanity (1)
The year 1506 of the Imperial Calendar. Late Spring.
A year has passed since I had fallen into this world. 1 year, it felt like a joke. I have never been more aware of how much the concept of time flowed like water until now. I’m still far from being an old man, though.
I almost got killed by Riff’s party, I made a whole bunch of money through the Black Death, I rescued Laura, killed Jack, killed Andromalius, got caught up in a commotion at Niflheim because of it, and now, after persuading Barbatos, I circulated a groundless rumor and incited a war that would make the human world tremble in fear……. No matter how you looked at it, this is a ridiculous amount of things to fit in the schedule of a single year. Even workaholics would run away if they saw this schedule.
I wonder what would happen if I could go back in time by a year and tell my past self what the future had in store for me. Hey, you shut-in, you’re going to fall into a world that’s exactly like the one in <Dungeon Attack> and struggle desperately to survive as the weakest Demon Lord. I’d probably call myself a crazy bastard. Nonetheless, this insane thing actually did occur. My God, I suddenly want to see my mother…….
On another note, this world also has cherry blossoms. The area where our unit had set up camp was surrounded by a bunch of fully bloomed cherry blossoms. Everything appeared radiant under the brilliant cherry blossom petals that even orcs looked beautiful. Someone called out to me while I was in deep thought watching the blossoms.
“Your Lordship, Commander Zepar is calling for a meeting.”
It was Laura. She was participating in the Crescent Alliance as my adjutant. There were some people that would openly taunt me for having a human as my adjutant, but I disregarded them. I like people with talent. As long as they can keep me alive in this world, I don’t care whether they’re a demon or a human.
“I am a commander with only 50 soldiers. What meaning would there be for me to be present?”
“Commander Zepar is calling for all of the Demon Lords that are a part of the vanguard. Your Lordship should at least show your face.”
