Big Bro!

Look at this!

I thought up a new finishing move!

Hey, Big Bro!

My finishing move! Wanna see?

Lately, Gashita has started taking on gathering quests too.

Do you? Do you? Do you?

Wanna know what my finishing move is?

I get it. After we finish this job, all right?

All right! We'll finish this up in a flash!

And after that, I'm hoping for some grueling training!

It's better than being treated as an enemy...

but it's a little bit of a nuisance.

However...

There's something that's even harder to handle.

I'm back!

Welcome home!

Huh?

Um, Mister Dariel?

Things with her escalate daily.

Mister Dariel? Mister Dariel!

But other than that...

my second life is progressing smoothly.

In the midst of all this, I noticed something...

a mystery this village is hiding.

Chillin'

in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army

I was wondering, Mayor...

Why are there so many empty houses in this village?

That will take a little time to explain.

Malika! Will you bring me a map please?

Malika?

I'll go and see.

Miss Malika?

It's no good. I just can't control myself.

At this rate, one day, I'll...

Mister Dariel, I'll...

Miss Malika, what happened earlier, was just a sort of accident.

A-A map, wasn't it?

I'll go get one!

You were asking why there are so many empty houses in this village, right?

Yes.

That's because...

this is all that remains of a place that was once full of life.

Beyond this village

lies one of the most important sites for the human race...

a mythril mine.

Mythril mine?

Mythril is a metal with many mysterious properties.

Weapons made with it boast of unparalleled performance.

Mythril is just as important to demons.

It can be used to make magical equipment... that is, items that store magical energy.

And so the scramble for possession of the mine...

continued for several hundred years.

Lux Village was a stopping place in the mythril transport route.

It flourished as an inn town.

But when I was a child, the demons took the mine.

We did try to take it back,

but we failed, and now we've more or less given up.

Since then, this village has declined further and further.

Mine will probably be the last generation that knows how busy this place once was.

Lux Village is destined to slowly die.

The mythril mine, huh?

I haven't been there in a while. Maybe I'll go...

back to what was once my workplace.

I wonder if everyone's doing well.

Episode 3

Dariel Goes to His Old Workplace.

If I can negotiate to get even a little of the mythril from here,

it will benefit Lux Village.

I hope there's someone here who's willing to talk.

In any case, I'm no longer part of the Demon King's Army,

so I'm risking getting captured.

This is strange.

It was so easy to sneak in.

If I'd had security this lax, Lord Bashbarza would have burned me to a crisp.

There's no one here.

Has something happened to all the demons?

Hey!

Is anyone here?

Zaza!

Adonis! Vesper! Borga! Gimlet!

Master Dariel!

It's Master Dariel!

Is this a dream?

It's really him!

It's been a long time, everyone!

It's been so long!

Hey, what happened to the mine?

What? What is it?

First, I'll have to calm them down.

We'll take turns getting a pat on the head!

Line up properly!

There, there. Have you been well?

Four times as much?

Yes. The amount of mythril we have to supply has increased far too much.

So, it's different than when I was in charge here?

Who gave these orders?

We heard that it's someone really high up.

Um... what was it again?

Dumdummy?

It had a more stylish sound to it.

Maybe Kasbahzah?

No, it's Lord Ughbarza.

No, it's not. It's Lord Bozobarza, isn't it?

No! I don't think that's it. I thought it was...

Lord Bashbarza...

Did the Knockers do something to offend him?

No, they wouldn't have had any contact with him.

Master Dariel, when you were in charge was the best of all.

You're the only one who calls us by our names.

In the name of economizing, they withdrew the soldiers who were here before.

At this rate, we'll have no choice but to run away in the night.

I see.

They don't work under me anymore.

I can't do anything for them.

But...

If I don't do anything, I'd feel so sorry for the Knockers.

They've worked so hard to mine the mythril for us.

New soldiers!

They've come to collect the mythril!

What is the meaning of this?

This is very obviously not enough mythril.

Are you really working hard enough, you pieces of trash?

M-My lord administrator!

Asking us for four times as much is just too unreasonable!

So, that's the new commander?

I've never seen him before.

We beg you!

Wait just a little longer!

Don't speak to me as though you are my equal!

You are demi-humans only fit for serving demons!

Don't forget! My orders are the will of Lord Bashbarza of the Four Generals!

One of Lord Bashbarza's sycophants, is he?

Even so, he's being too brutal.

You've wasted my precious time.

If you don't have it ready by tomorrow, be prepared for the consequences.

We're not enduring this anymore!

'S right!

'S right! 'S right! 'S right!

Th-This is bad!

'S right! 'S right! 'S right!

Kill them! Kill all the mutinous traitors!

That's absurd!

The Knockers are craftsmen.

They're non-combatants!

It's obvious who will win!

Verdant source, send the wisdom of your envoy here,

This is bad! This magic is...

and breathe forth endless clear blades!

Release... Gales!

What did you do?!

I-It wasn't me! Something came flying out!

Withdraw, O noble soldiers of the Demon King's Army!

Is your magic meant for the killing of non-combatants?

And who are you?

A human adventurer.

If you will not withdraw...

then you will face me!

Chillin' in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army

If you will not withdraw...

then you will face me!

What is this smell?

Is it some kind of new magic?

Huh?

The underwear I left here is gone!

They're the ones I drew a flower on!

Is that what this is?

That guy's using that underwear...

H-He's some kind of pervert.

I-I'd like to take them off...

but I can't show my face here.

Just stop thinking about it!

Right now, what I have to do is...

If you withdraw, I will not pursue!

If you would fight, then send first those who have no care for their lives!

You can't fight without relying on a weapon, you pathetic human.

Aiding and abetting the Knockers to try to steal the mythril mine...

It's contemptible.

Contemptible?

Yes, that's right.

I did think it was strange.

These guys are happy just digging holes. For them to rebel...

The mere fact that they had the unwelcome wit to do such a thing was odd!

You command these craftsmen, these Knockers,

and steal their pride from them. Doesn't that make you contemptible?

And what of it?

I am a commander who receives orders directly from Lord Bashbarza!

Vermin, prepare yourselves!

I'll see you and that human all covered in blood!

I guess I have no choice.

But I don't want to hurt them if I can help it.

Would you mind?

Huh?

Oh, I feel so embarrassed!

Everyone, hide!

What?

He sheathed his blade?

Final crimson rays of sunset,

send the wisdom of your envoy here,

and for those remaining wicked spirits who would block the way...

That chant requires intense concentration.

a cage of purification...

Which means...

If I can land one hit, I can stop him!

We're gonna fight too!

Yeah!

Stay back!

Verdure beyond the heavens...

Oh no! The chant is almost over!

...gather the fangs of the storm...

Out of the way!

He kicked him?

Why didn't he use magic?

I see!

A soldier's work is to battle others who also fight for a living.

My words might reach them!

Soldiers of the Demon King's Army!

Have you forgotten your honor?

I know you know!

If you kill a single non-combatant,

that makes you just a murderer!

Did that reach them?

Don't listen. It's a silly trick of the enemy.

All of you, begin your chants!

Those who do not obey orders will be burned to ash by my magic!

Simultaneous chants for each affinity...

If you think you can stop them, go ahead and try.

Resonance of the azure skies, send to me the divine protection of your envoy...

Final crimson rays of sunset, send the wisdom of your envoy here...

Verdant thread, send to me the divine protection of your envoy

Th-There's no getting out of this!

...and with the tails of ghosts...

Earth, fire, wind, water...

... and for those remaining wicked spirits...

They take twenty seconds, twelve seconds, seventeen seconds, and ten seconds!

...a beast that obstructs ten thousand eyes...

...the reins which will tear all asunder...

...devour me and hide my flesh...

Why isn't any of the magic activating?

...send to me the divine protection of your envoy.

I-It can't be!

Gather, groundbreakers of the first slaughters...

Is he attacking them in order of shortest chant to longest?

He has the chants for every affinity memorized?!

...droplets of the morning stars, gather and race downwards... Pierce!

Let me use that.

Change to enhancement magic!

Deo Amam!

It isn't possible. This is a hundred against one!

No...

it isn't.

It's one against one.

W-Wait, please!

I-I'm not part of the Demon King's Army!

I'm a non-combatant!

So, please, don't kill me!

I just happened to meet Lord Bashbarza of the Four Generals at a ball.

The more we talked the more we got along.

And then he said he'd entrust the workings of the mine to me.

He was employed through personal connections?!

Lord Bashbarza, did you hire him just because you two are friendly?

Even though you fired me for being useless?

I'm begging you!

If you kill a non-combatant, your warrior's honor will weep.

Right?

If you understand that emotion,

then why did you order the soldiers to kill the Knockers?

They're your subordinates, too.

I wish you had protected them.

I will end this now.

Huh?

When you get home, please offer your resignation.

Tell them that the mine is a scary place and that you never want to go back again.

You should probably all head home too.

Your commander ran away after all.

To think Master Dariel was so strong!

But was that all right?

Defeating the Demon King's Army's soldiers like that...

It's fine.

After all, I'm human.

Oh...

But, y'know...

things still aren't good for us!

My underwear have finally returned to me.

What if next time even stronger soldiers from the Demon King's Army come?

It'll be fine!

As long as we have Master Dariel, there's nothing to worry about!

Huh? You're putting me in charge?

We'll keep following you forever, Master Dariel!

Then, I guess I'll think about what to do next.

Hooray! Yay! Yay!

Sir?

Yes?

I've recaptured the mythril mine.

And so...

I'd like for us to protect the Knockers.

The Knockers?

But haven't they been on the demons' side since long ago?

Please!

All right.

But this is something that concerns all of the humans.

We'll send a messenger to Center Guild immediately...

and everyone will consider what to do next together.

Yes, sir!

After that, lots of people moved very quickly to help us.

They talked about how, for the first time in decades, Mythril Mine was in human hands.

Many regions rejoiced as though it were some kind of festival.

And as for the Knockers...

as they knew every inch of the mine...

they were asked to work as guides.

So change came to Lux Village as well.

Dariel...

I'd long given up on this.

I thought that Lux Village would continue to slowly die.

But you changed the fate of our village.

It was just some good luck, that's all.

Then you're an envoy of good luck.

Mister Dariel!

Would you like to eat lunch together?

Yes, I was just starting to get hungry, so—

Malika!

Ma...

Ma...

You just called me Malika!

You didn't use the "Miss!" It was as though I was your very own!

Big Bro?

I want you to call my name like that every day!

Mister Dariel, I...

M...

Mister Dariel!

Next time on Chillin' in My 30s After Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army...

"Dariel Negotiates."
