"Why does the Admiral of the Headquarters have time to come here today?"

"Well, that's a long story."

"It's okay, for some reason, I'm not in the mood to continue doing business today, and I just have a whole afternoon to listen to you."

Half an hour after the search of the café was over, all the customers in the previous store had left, and since the sign hanging at the door of the store was still closed, there was no next person to enter the door except for the uncle of the headquarters.

Seeing off the last guest who had been granted a free order, the twin sisters noticed that the uncle Admiral was not just chatting with the door today, so they simply pulled down the door of the shop, and the café was completely empty here, at least none of the people present at the moment were unrelated.

"Admiral, your coffee."

In the face of her former boss, the twin sister in the maid costume inevitably seemed a little restrained in her attitude, and after the coffee was delivered, she immediately followed her sister's example, and went into the kitchen without looking back, only revealing half of her head, hiding behind the door like a thief, and participating in the audit in such a strange way.

"Thank you." Pinching the spout of the coffee cup, the uncle raised his glass far away in the direction of the kitchen, then turned his head to me and smiled wryly, laughing at himself: "You see, the disadvantage of being a leader is that it is easy to lose popularity, and even the innocent little girl is unwilling to come close to me if she has nothing to do."

"I think you have some misunderstandings about your past subordinates, it's not wrong that people are little girls, but people are definitely not innocent." Waving my hand, I was not in the habit of gossiping with someone I didn't know, so I asked straight to the point, "Let's get back to the point, what are you doing today?"

Hearing my question, the uncle first looked up at the golden trophy that was placed in a transparent display case, which was not available in the store. It is a commemorative prize awarded by the conference party after participating in the hurricane competition and winning the championship.

The first place is the Gold Medal Cup, the second place is the Silver Medal Cup, but the third and fourth places are only left with a bronze medal and a certificate, and the gap is so large that people can't help but feel the difference.

"What I want to say is really unexpected, I didn't think you could succeed in winning the championship under the sniping of the members of the headquarters." The uncle admiral said to himself. Then he shook his head and contradictory refuted himself: "But if you think about it another way, such an ending may have been doomed as early as the beginning of the gambling game, anyway, you are a demon king after all, even if you have never shown strength in the past record, but if you are serious, you will definitely not be able to stop you by summoning incomplete water elements."

I raised my eyebrows, remembering that he used to call me the Demon King Candidate, but now he deleted the Alternate. Although the two are only two words apart, they are completely different in meaning.

"Remember the history of the headquarters that I told you about?" Uncle Admiral retracted his gaze, clenched his fist and lowered his left chest, and said with a remembrance gaze: "In the eyes of many people, the establishment of the headquarters is just because of a joke from the third Demon King, and now the position of the Admiral has changed for dozens of generations, and we have never forgotten the purpose of the establishment of the headquarters that is not known to the outside world."

Listening to the uncle's strict words, I knew that the next content would be the highlight of the day.

"The headquarters is a dark chess piece directly under the Demon King. As long as you show the bearing and ambition of the demon king, it doesn't matter whether you succeed in the end or not, you can pass the trial of the five major forces in the demon world. We will be loyal to you." Revealing the truth that I don't know how many years have been buried, the uncle Admiral's expression was less depressed, but more relieved and calm: "Please allow me to use you as a title instead of you, because this is an honorific title exclusive to the third Demon King, and I will dedicate this honorific title to you when Lord Xu Mo grows up to be able to lead the entire Demon Realm in the future."

Pull the corners of your lower mouth. The fact that I wasn't upset about it surprised even myself.

The position of the Demon King is more like a mandatory job for me, and passive slacking is inevitable, in contrast, the former Demon King is wholeheartedly devoted to it, in order to allow the continuation of the other world. Even his own life was lost.

The effort is proportional to the gain, and it is not unreasonable that the third demon king will be loved by the entire demon world from top to bottom.

Sitting in my seat, I suddenly felt a little melancholy for a while, even if this emotion was inexplicable.

Seeing that I was in a deep state, the uncle and the admiral did not bother, just stayed silently beside me, and the scene fell silent for a while.

After a few moments, I let out a long sigh to end this brief period of relaxation and responded with three simple words: "Got it."

Uncle Admiral stood up and saluted me: "Then from today onwards, the headquarters will officially return to the banner of Demon King City, and the information and intelligence will also be ......."

"You don't need to report this to me, I'll send someone to contact you later." Obviously, I have gathered the dark chess forces left by the previous demon king, but instead of being happy, I also seem a little interested: "As for decision-making, I will only have a strategic goal in the general direction personally, and the relevant details will have to be filled in by yourself, so are there any other problems?"

The question at the end of this was just a polite remark, but I didn't expect the uncle Admiral to really touch his nose and ask unceremoniously, "Aren't you going to organize the combat troops of the headquarters and the members of the intelligence group?"

I frowned and asked, "I don't need to interfere with this, aren't you already well organized yourself?" There is no need to deliberately break up the complete existing system just because there is an extra leader at the top."

The uncle admiral will respectfully say, "Then the headquarters will hold the troops for the first time, and wait for your next instructions."

"No, just follow the pattern of the past." As a precaution, I also deliberately mentioned that "there is no need to suspend the contact with the government of the sea capital, unless there is some special instruction, and the remaining qiē will be fine as usual."

The look on the uncle's face was obviously unclear, but in the end he nodded in understanding.

"I'm not a war maniac." As this phrase came out of nowhere, I went on to say, "There is no need to open a dispute as long as it can be resolved by peaceful means. The current operation model of the headquarters is very good, and it is not easy for an organization to implement sustainable management so thoroughly, and it would be a pity if it was broken because of a paper order."

The uncle opened his mouth and was about to speak, but I reached out to stop him.

"Of course, I'm not afraid of war, and if necessary, the battle that should be fought will still be fought, so you don't need to worry about it, but before the future war comes, please don't disrupt the pace of life that has lasted for a hundred years, you must know that once this transmission goes wrong, it will be very difficult to recover again." I drank all the tea in my cup, and I rarely drank coffee to avoid insomnia.

The words stopped here, and there was no interest in talking between the two sides if they stayed any longer, so the uncle got up and said goodbye.

With the wind chimes on the hanging door ringing, only the members of Demon King City were left in the café, and I reached out and pushed the teacup to the table, got up and went up the stairs without looking back.

This inexplicable depression in my heart is really uncomfortable, and before thinking about the next step, it is better to find a way to express it first. (To be continued......)
