Actually, I was the Real One

a dark conference hall, much like now.

A place where only candles floating in the air dimly illuminated their faces.

The only difference was that they were going back and forth.

Bang–!

Someone hit the table hard.
The noise was so loud that it would not be strange if the table made of ivory broke.

“I ran so fast that I didn’t expect to see something like this.
So what did you all do while sitting here huddled together? Huh? These are the faces you don’t see often, so did you talk about it while playing and eating?”

“I didn’t know that you guys got along well enough to eat and play together for ten days.
I found out something interesting.”

“Sit down and talk.”

“You two, calm down.”

Eleven people gathered in the conference hall.
If one had to separate them, one could divide them into three categories.

Those who would jump up in anger.

Those who would deter them.

And those who just thought differently, hoping that the meeting would be over soon.
Yurr was somewhere between the second and the third group.

‘Oh, that part is really cracked.’

He didn’t want them to get angry, but he was also concerned about the cracked table.

The man sitting next to him opened his mouth.

“You knew the goddess might intervene, so why did you go ahead? You ignored the warning and entered the capital, knowing what would happen?”

“Do you think I don’t know that story is just an excuse? Do I look that stupid? You didn’t want to participate before you came here! You’re like a pig who doesn’t know shame.”

At that time, a woman in a fancy dress that did not match the situation on the battlefield spoke.

“Both of you, calm down.
This is not the time for us to fight each other.”

“You shut up!”

“Oh my gosh.”

The demon felt it for a long time, but there was something about the other’s respectful words that grated on their nerves.
To the extent that they thought it was not unreasonable to shout at them to shut up.

Yurr watched his comrades quarrel, waiting for it to end quickly.

“Hey, Ragibach, I understand what you mean.
But let’s talk a little…”

“There’s nothing to talk about! You didn’t want to fight because of the goddess’s intervention!”

“No, then if you charge and take damage, will you take responsibility?”

“It is an honor to die fighting on the battlefield.”

“What did you say? You crazy b*tch!”

Three demons insisted on going to battle, three who wanted to take care of the goddess’s power because it was necessary to be careful, two who pretended to mediate, and three who didn’t care.

The quarrel, which was fierce from the beginning, got worse as time went on.
Then, all of a sudden, it was going back and forth between six demons.
Well, this wasn’t unusual, though.

“Yeah, I didn’t want to fight, so I kept quiet! I didn’t want to come in the first place! What is the benefit of conquering the human world, huh?”

“You won’t fight if you have nothing to gain? Are you a demon?”

“Why don’t you just stick your nose in the plate and die?”

“Haa…”

The demon, who had been refuting the opinion of the main instigator, sighed and sat back down on the chair.

His patience was too short to convince these war-hungry warriors.
So he would just have to say it out loud. 

“I’ll be frank.
We’ve lived too long.
I’m at an age that I’ve lost motivation.
In addition, I have achieved a lot, and I don’t want to follow my instinct even at the expense of a huge loss because I want to fight.”

“…Are you serious? The both of you?” 

“Yes.”

“To be honest, I don’t have any more answers.
Get out.
Your long-lived life sooner or later.”

“Haa, it really doesn’t make sense…”

In the end, it felt as if a duel would take place.
Ajai, who was watching, stood up and said.

“So let’s sort it out.”

At that moment, everyone stopped talking and turned to him.

“Doesn’t everyone agree that the goddess might intervene, so we should be prepared for it?”

“If you guys had continued to advance without wasting ten days…!”

“There may be something hidden inside the wall.
From the commander’s point of view, isn’t it impossible to fight a battle without recognizing it?”

“…”

It was a good excuse.
If it had been true that they couldn’t move because they were being careful, they would have made a plan ahead of time rather than wait for ten days.

“To die in battle is the greatest honor.”

“I know.
But if you fall into the enemy’s trap and die without seeing a proper fight, can you call that honor?”

“…”

It was an irrefutable argument.
The main instigators had no choice but to keep their mouths shut with resentment.

“I respect everyone’s opinion.”

Yurr thought to himself, ‘What a load of crap.’
