Volume 1 Chapter 1 There Is No Good or Evil in Dogmatism, but Ignorance Calls Forth Misfortune. That's Why Unfair Dismissals Happen
That's why unfair dismissals happen.
When it's a 'state of emergency,' the whole world relaxes all kinds of 'regulations.'
A 'stunning beauty' claiming to be a 'Demon Lord' displaying the greatest possessiveness in the world is a clear 'state of emergency.'
The Demon Lord has a skill called 'Absolute Domination,' which basically means 'absolute control over men.'
Humans, dragons, orcs, and demons, even magic swords and items, can be completely controlled if they have a 'male will,' making the Demon Lord's commands absolute.
Moreover, even after the Demon Lord dies, the control does not break.
And because it embodies absolute devotion, the controlled man will carry out those orders with all his heart and soul.
Without any hesitation or rest, just by seeing the Demon Lord, all men become dominated, captivated, and swear their absolute worship.
And if such an existence has the greatest 'possessiveness' in this world, of course, that desire won't stop.
It is a 'state of emergency.'
For example, let's say there was a country that set a rule that 'only nobles or their relatives can serve in the court.'
Even in such a country, during a 'state of emergency,' there would be an overwhelming shortage of people.
Especially if the literacy rate is low, the state would become dysfunctional.
At such a time, saying only nobles and their relatives are allowed is like hitting rock bottom in terms of workforce, causing the 'international community' to demand the regulations be eased.
Even in a country with a low literacy rate, if there are some who can read and write, they could be employed in the court.
However, because of the 'state of emergency,' with little money in the treasury, they worked for meager pay.
Such a situation spread across the world, and years later.
When the Demon Lord is defeated, what will happen to those 'regulations'?
No, how will they handle the 'exception' that relaxes those regulations?
It goes without saying, history has proven it.

"You're all fired!"
Gathered in the hall were about 5 hundred people.
At the far end of the platform, a fat man dressed in flashy clothes was shouting loudly.
"You commoners have no right to work in the castle! Only chosen nobles and excellent people chosen by nobles should work in the royal court of the oldest kingdom!"
He's used to saying that, he's obsessed with the idea of the chosen people.
"The world conference said we can't stop hiring commoners because the Demon Lord appeared. Now that the Demon Lord is gone, you don't belong here! Get out!"
The man yelling, 'Zayte Rygisok', the head of the Duke family, announced that everyone was fired.
...Then, a boy steps forward to the front of the people.
He has black hair and black eyes, and he's tall, about 180 centimeters... but other than that, he looks normal.
"I have a question. What about the handover?"
"Are you defying me, the head of the Duke family!"
"No, I'll leave if you tell me to, but I'd be in trouble if there's no handover..."
"That's how commoners are. Listen, it doesn't matter at all for such a low-level story. Excellent bloodlines have excellent abilities. It's something that you commoners can maintain. It's absolutely outrageous for you commoners to teach us nobles!"
"...I understand. No handover... right?"
"Hmph! Well, the world conference told us 'don't interfere with personal belongings if you fire them'. Gather your belongings and get out!"
"No handover. Gather my belongings and leave... I understand."
The boy bowed his head.
"Thank you for everything. Goodbye."
"Hmph! Well, I'm busy. Goodbye then."
Saying that, Zayte left the hall.
"...Someone who thinks everything is solved just by giving orders doesn't understand the importance of a handover."
The boy sighed, looking at the door Zayte left from, and snapped his fingers.
The next moment, the bodies of nearly 5 hundred people turned into 'lumps of iron' in an instant.
Then they split into 'lumps of iron' and 'clothes'...
"Item box"
He takes out a 3-centimeter cube from under his jacket and activates it.
Then, 2 vortexes appear in space.
They each absorb the 'lumps of iron' and the 'clothes'.
...After a few seconds, there's nothing there.
All the people disappeared, leaving only one boy behind.
"Well, I guess it's okay. The experiment with the golem is all done, and the special rule about 'items owned by royals' from the world conference will disappear, so I can't use the antenna now."
As the boy walks toward the door, he sighs.
"I suppose having a control distance of just 3 meters from my body is too short. But still, it's true that I chose to sacrifice range for a faster processing speed... Well, if I run into trouble later, I can think about it then."
The boy says this as he walks down the hallway.
He heads to a nearby trash can and pulls out a card from his jacket.
The card has the name 'Horace' written on it, along with the job title from the castle.
Without hesitation, he rips the card to shreds and tosses it into the trash can.
(Should I go look for the best materials to use for the golem? I'll head to the 'Chaos Stone Dragon Country' where special stones gather in the center of the nation.)
Saying this, Horace left the 'Diamante Kingdom' and set off toward the 'Chaos Stone Dragon Country.'
