[Don’t Be So Pushy, Zansword-kun!]
“It is as I have expected, you have got the talent to be an entertainer! Now you may call me Mr. Manager!”
“In your dreams, dumbhead!”
–Five days until the final battle.
After spending the first and second days assigning roles and advertising, I’d finally got some free time.
Now, time to get back on the grind! —or so I had planned, but as soon as I logged in, Zansword (※He was always on for some reason) showed up and dragged me, saying “Let us go to the Beginning Town!”.
There the devs were going to hold a small show in anticipation of the upcoming ‘War of Extinction Ragnarok’ and he wanted me to accompany him to watch it.
…And so, he forcefully dragged me by hand and brought me into the town packed with people.
“It’s so crowded… Say, Zansword, the official announcement says the show will be uploaded on the internet, so can’t we just get back and watch it later? Also, let my hand go already.”
“What are you saying, Yuri?! This kind of event is the most enjoyable to watch live! The liveliness and the enthusiasm of the crowd are spices that make live performances even exciting!”
“No, it’s not a live performance, and I hate standing in a crowd. I often get touched on my butt on a crowded train and it reminds me of that. And let go already, will you?”
“Don’t fret, for I shall protect you. Oh, it is about to start!”
“I’m telling you, let go, you bastard!”
Dammit, I couldn’t shake his hand off because my Strength was 0!
Meanwhile, dark clouds covered the sky, and the Beginning Town began to be enveloped by darkness.
And so, the event started while I was still holding hands Zansword (What was this guy’s problem, anyway?!)
[–Everyone. What we have feared has finally come!]
At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot down from the sky, and a proud old man with a crown appeared in the air.
…Wait, it was King Odin! One of the hateful devs, my enemy!
“Get down here, you fucker! I’mma kill yaaaaaaaa!”
[Eek?! Oh—A-ahem, my people, dark times are upon us! The Tomb of the Demon King that had been sealed in the deepest corner of the world has been unsealed by a certain evil individual!]
King Odin ignored my murder declaration and began to yell with exaggerated hand gestures. Hang on, who were you calling evil, you shithead?
[It is a most terrifying situation…! The Tomb of the Demon King contains forbidden technologies that once led the world to the brink of destruction, and already many warriors have been corrupted by their dark powers. As things stand, our world may fall into ruins.
[–However!!!]
In the next moment, Odin thrust his fist into the dark sky.
Then, the dark clouds split, and golden light poured down from the sky.
[It is too early to despair! The Great Spirit Tree, which contains the power of the Goddess Ymir Herself, has also awakened in response to the deluge of the Demon King’s power! The Goddess has not abandoned us!]
Players exclaimed “Oooh~” watching the show.
His performance was kind of cheap but he sure had a way with words.
…Only, I was concerned if the fact that the Demon King’s side branded as evil would leave a negative impact on our recruitment.
[–The world is now once again divided in two. Five days from now, a full-scale war between the dark and light will erupt.
[Virtuous men and women, it is time for us to embrace the light of the goddess and follow Her guidance! As for you, villains. You had best enjoy the Demon King’s remnant powers while you can, for you are destined to perish!
[Everyone, the choice is in your hands. May you spend your remaining days until the final battle without regrets!]
After finishing his majestic speech, King Odin ascended into the sky.
The moment he was gone completely out of sight, a huge message window appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
・In five days, the ‘War of Extinction Ragnarok’ will begin!
The rule is simple. Whichever annihilates the enemy side wins! (Dead familiars and helper NPCs will be revived after the war.)
Please decide whether to join the good Goddess’ side or the evil Demon King’s side before the great war.
As well, all players on the winning side will be rewarded with special items, so please give your best!

…With that additional explanation at the end, the show came to a close.
As soon as the color of the sky returned, the players began to make a fuss: “Which side are you going to join?” “Which side has the upper hand right now?” and so on.
“Hmm… what do you think of that speech, Zansword? And let go of my hand.”
“Yes… although it cannot be helped from the lore’s perspective, they have branded us as evil. It will most certainly affect players thinking of joining us.”
Right~. But to be fair, I did promote the Demon King’s side with a monster parade yesterday, too.
There was no use worrying about it. In fact, this could be an opportunity! We’d go full evil and hog all the edgy and chuuni guys!
“Okay, it’s time to pull out all the stops, Zansword! For a limited time only, I, the Hero of Justice Yuri, will walk the path of the evil Demon King!”
“What do you mean? You have always been an evil Demon King.”
“Shaddap! And let go of my hand already, bastard!”
It was only after I kicked him in the shin that Zansword finally let go.
Seriously, what the hell was up with him? Crutteruo did secretly warn me “Watch out for Zansword. With the baldhead out of the picture, he’s been really excited, thinking his chance has come.”
…Wondered what she meant. Why would he be excited because my best bud was not around? I really couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
“Yuri… if ever you can’t stand the loneliness from the baldhead’s absence, you are welcome to come to me…!”
“I’m not lonely or anything. I mean, our hearts are always connected.”
“Gaha?! That baldhead is a fearsome foe!”
Zansword collapsed as if he had taken some invisible damage. Man, he sure was a weird guy. What a waste of his handsome face.
Hmm, I wondered if it was really okay to leave the command of the army to him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
