N-taro has fallen to the darkness.

Regardless of any deeper meaning, what he said isn’t wrong.
107: Anonymous Combatant
Uh oh, I kind of have a hard time with S-Yaka.
108: Anonymous Combatant
The Leader got turned into a joke by the soldiers…poor thing.
109: Anonymous Combatant
Does the Leader know about this whole mess?
110: Hakase
They does, because I told the leader about it.
Me: “I went ahead and summarized all the opinions that came up.”
Leader: “Why!?”
Of course, being the capable guy I am, I organized it all into an easy-to-understand graph.
Basically it was about 40% team girl, 30% team boy, with the remaining 30% being other.
There were all sorts of opinions.
[Team Girl]
- A graceful young female Leader could be nice.
- Having a female Leader would appeal to the gender-free era.
- I wish for the Leader’s new outfit to have fox ears and a miko outfit.
- The Leader is so cute!
[Team Boy]
- Please show a masculine form like the previous Leader.
- Looking forward to the live performance.
- Just imagining a pairing with the deputy chief makes me burn with passion.
- Please stay an innocent young boy forever.
Leader: “And what am I supposed to do with this…”
Me: “Well, it proves the soldiers deeply admire you at least.”
Leader: “Isn’t this just them toying with me?”
111: Anonymous Combatant
But I’m a little relieved to know the leader’s not actually disliked.
112: Anonymous Combatant
To be honest, me too.
113: Hakase
By the way, it seems I got summoned for “keeping the leader company after work.”
Not too unreasonable compared to usual.

It’s just deserts after all lol
READ THE ORIGINAL TRANSLATION AT LOCALIZERMEERKAT.PAGES.DEV
“Hmm, hold on, this won’t do!”
“This is the fourth time, Leader Vilaverit.”
“I think Halvied should go a bit easier on you!”
The robot anime fan Vilaverit Dios Clrecia, Leader of the Delnkeim Evil Society.
With golden silk hair glowing in the sunlight, mysterious pale purple eyes, and translucent white skin, the leader was a beauty.
At just fourteen years old, the leader was petite with a childlike face. But even now, the leader lovely features were fully developed.
After work, they had been playing shogi in Halvied’s room, but so far the leader had lost every game. Naturally, the leader lost this round too.
“Ah, I lost again…say, are the soldiers still going on about that matter?”
“About whether the Leader will become a boy or a girl? Yes, I imagine so. You are nearly fifteen after all. Beer, ahhh refreshing.”
“To so casually drink alcohol in front of the Leader, isn’t that inappropriate?”
“It’s fine, I’ve learned my limits so I don’t pass out anymore. At least in front of you, my Leader.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Shouldn’t he show more respect to the Leader?
Still, the leader appreciated his casual attitude.
The previous Leader Celrizer had passed away, and her brother Zeros was no longer around.
These days, the only ones who interacted with Vilaverit so casually were the deputy chief Halvied and Miina.
“They sure don’t get tired of arguing about it.”
“It just shows how much they care about you, my Leader.”
“…If they cared, Delnkeim would not have ended up like this.”
Exalted by some, let down by others. Stubbornly clinging to father’s wishes, the leader exiled their brother.
Even becoming Leader, nothing has gone right, and Halvied bears the brunt of it. To think this was the great Leader Celrizer’s children – it brought shame.
“If you wish it, Lord Zeros will surely come to your aid.”
“I cannot do that.”
Vilaverit stated firmly.
“True, if I apologize and ask, Zeros would probably lend a hand. But that would be out of familial obligation, not true loyalty to the Leader. To be exiled, then come begging for help – that would be dishonorable.”
“Leader Vilaverit.”
“If I am to call Zeros back, I must first prove myself worthy as a Leader.”
Only by advancing the invasion of Japan and demonstrating the leadership could the leader have the brother. For now, the leader had to believe in that.
“You won’t last if you stay so tense. You need to unwind sometimes.”
“Ah yes, the takoyaki party we had was fun, despite the unwanted intruders.”
“We should do it again sometime with Miina. Okonomiyaki and hot cakes would be nice too.”
“I’d love some hot cakes! Dripping with maple syrup!”
Halvied Calm Sein, the Deputy Chief.
A spirit engineering scholar brought by the leader father, he proposed the theory used to construct Delnkeim’s current base that generates its own air supply to protect the afflicted Vilaverit.
He’s a borderline insane genius who pulled off the unthinkable feat of building a base in another dimension.
For the isolated Vilaverit with few allies left, he is an indispensable existence.
the leader was self-aware that unfairly piled work onto him.
But with Zeros gone, no one was more capable and trustworthy than Halvied. Plus he watched robot anime with the leader.
“…Which do you think I should become?”
Which is why the leader ends up relying on him for even personal matters like this.
Becoming male wouldn’t make the leader a gallant warrior like father or brother.
And as a female, the leader couldn’t stay reserved and proper.
Whichever the leader chose, the leader feared ending up half-baked, no different than now.
“It doesn’t matter to me if you’re male, female or neither. You’re the Our Leader either way. Though being female would make it hard to enter beef bowl shops, and being male would make it awkward to enjoy parfaits. Things like that to consider.”
But Halvied gave a light-hearted reply.
“Ah, but regardless of gender, I may lose my loyalty if you lack a sense of cleanliness.”
“You really do just say whatever you want, don’t you…”
“I give my all for work issues, so I should be allowed some leeway in private, no?”
Vilaverit couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Essentially, he was keeping Vilaverit company as a friend right now, not working. Although chugging beer made it questionable to call this work.
“Say, Halvied, regardless of your antics, there’s no doubting your genius. You could easily find work elsewhere if you left Delnkeim, couldn’t you?”
“Who knows? I am indebted to the previous Leader, and you’ve taken care of me too, Leader Vilaverit. Besides, changing jobs now would be too much hassle.”
“I knew that last part was the real reason.”
Even when Vilaverit narrowed eyes at him, he just shrugged it off.
“At any rate, I intend to remain the evil scientist so long as the Our Leader doesn’t abandon me. Male, female or otherwise, I hope we can stay together for a long time yet.”
He didn’t give Vilaverit a clear answer. Probably because it was something Vilaverit had to figure out for herself.
But he promised to stay by Vilaverit side no matter what Vilaverit chose.
“By the way, about that Lost Fairies poster…”
“That is vital for my spiritual healing. I won’t take it down.”
“Ugh…”
There were still some quirks to get used to, but he would surely continue supporting Vilaverit.
“Honestly, Halvied…”
Despite the feigned exasperation, her cheeks had softened.
117: Hakase
Even though it was said I was summoned, I was just made to be an opponent for shogi
Other than that, I just listened to some small complaints.
118: Anonymous Combatant
I suppose there is still some stress involved, huh?
119: Hakase
The leader has quite a strong complex, you see.
To be frank, the previous leader was only capable in terms of brute strength, but he wasn’t particularly competent. Yet the leader strains and saying “I must be like the great Papa above!” If I point that out, the leader just becomes stubborn, so it’s hopeless.
120: Anonymous Combatant
It seems previous leader had some popularity among people though.
121: Anonymous Combatant
When people die at a good timing, they tend to get idealized easily.
122: Anonymous Combatant
By the way, what happened with the commotion?
123: Hakase
The idol’s last bastion for the combatants, the final rebel faction “I Don’t Care Which Side, Can’t You Just Let Us Work?” led by L-ria (17 years old), a rising young dual Russia/Japan attributed combatant recruited after coming to Japan, was forcibly suppressed.
124: Anonymous Combatant
That’s…an overwhelmingly reasonable demand!
125: Anonymous Combatant
Well, isn’t that actually supposed to be your job, Hakase?
126: Hakase
Nah nah, I’m just the evil scientist, you see.
I’m working day and night to assist the leader’s invasion of Japan.
127: Anonymous Combatant
You didn’t report about Lost Fairies, did you?
128: Hakase
Keeping a secret or two is a bare minimum for an executive. I’m just staying quiet because it’s necessary for my schemes.
Eventually, I’ll have those three be useful for me too! …www
129: Anonymous Combatant
Ooh, the Hakase is sounding like a villain!
130: Anonymous Combatant
But he’s snickering, so he probably doesn’t have anything major planned actually.
