The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero
V2 Chapter 10 Board Game?
“But you know, will things be solved with just that.”
In response to Zweita's question which had no loopholes, Varvatos, who was sitting properly on the throne, replied as if he sounded unconcerned.
“Well, it likely didn't solve anything. But, there's a meaning if it's something I propose.”
That's right, the important thing is the point that it is “solution proposed Demon King Varvatos”.
For a Monster who only knows hand-fighting as the only way to solve problems, the fact that another method besides that is “the new resolution method” the Demon King personally proposed means that it will be treated as a very high resolution method at the same level as the outcome of the fight boxing “the revered”.
“Erm ...... In other words?”
“Monster will think more about choosing what way to solve their problems, because they have been given two settlement options..
“Same as Eina.” said
With Eina answering Zweita's question, Varvatos nodded.
This time, this was the real reason for proposing Stone-scissors-paper was this.
Fighting if opinions clashed with each other, it was easy but it was too simple. That is why, by first entering the “method the Demon Lord proposed” as an option for a solution, it will make the Monster start thinking. But if it ends up being a boxing fight, then how else.
In fact, it was natural that there would be times where it was difficult to finish things with stone-scissors-paper. However, there was meaning in making the Monsters have to think about what steps they should take.
“H . Then Ractor will not use it.”
“No, he will use it for one day.”
“I think he will use it for three days.”
As Zweita and the others exchanged their own wish predictions, Orel, who had finally awakened nearby, groaned while raising the upper half of his body.
“...... What are you all talking about? Will or will not use what?”
“Ahh, it's about how long the Ractor will use stone-scissors-paper.”
Hearing Varvatos' words, Orel pondered as he said, "Fumu ......".
“Because that person is who we are talking about, wouldn't he continue to use stone-scissors-paper if only dealing with things that don't matter?”
“Ahh, it makes sense.”
Varvatos nodded at Orel's suddenly perceiving opinion.
Of course, the Ractor was such a type of man.
“Well, in that case, let's watch the transition that will happen from now on. For now, there is a need to think of other resolution ways as well.”
“Haa, so you will still do more.”
“Ya.”
What Varvatos thinks, is the board game── more specifically , things like shogi, go, and chess.
The fact that they are strategic in nature and that they can even be used as entertainment is a wonderful point of board games.
It would be annoying if they are too engrossed in playing, but the things known as games are indispensable for cultural growth to some extent. And then, above all, it makes people use their heads.
As a means to make a decision, the games will take too much time, but they are appropriate as a means to make the Monsters' brains more developed.
And the things that could make Monsters even interested in them.
Then, a different game, a three-dimensional piece like chess would be good. Furthermore, replacing chess pieces with the Demon King army would make it easier to introduce.
If he remembers correctly, chess is a game in which a person wins by cornering the enemy king until they cannot escape.
However, the Monsters would probably not agree to this. Even if he explained the general concept of checkmate, Varvatos could easily see the appearance of the angry Monsters about a king who admitted defeat before they died.
Moreover, they would also show anger towards the remaining pieces as they were a group of weaklings who would not even fight against their king's enemies.
If applied poorly, there is even a chance that it will develop into a boxing fight due to disagreements about it.
In other words, the rules of the game should be changed into a battle of annihilation.
“...... And, well, it's the kind of game I think.”
“Haa. Yes, it does sound interesting.”
“The strategy game played with three-dimensional pieces .... However, there is one thing in question.”
“…?”
In response to Eina making a delicate face, Varvatos, who sang his own praises by saying that it was a great idea, showed a question mark on his face.
“Having an army of Demon Lords divided into two is not recommended. There is only one Demon King.”
“I mean, this is just a game ....”
“The situation where two Demon King soldiers fight each other with extermination rules will be a game is a nightmare.”
Eina turned the facts to Varvatos.
Thinking that it was impossible to persuade him now that he had become like this, Varvatos sighed.
“However..”.
Saying that, it was there that Eina returned her gaze towards Varvatos.
“If for example, one side is made as soldiers of Heroes, then it may be fine.”
That's right, if it's a Hero versus a Demon King, then of course it's not impossible. However, feeling that there was some sort of problem, Varvatos tilted his head thoughtfully.
“But the rules for deciding which side will be soldiers Heroes ..... is not there.”
“Ahh ...... Is correct. That's right.”
Hearing Zweita's murmur, Varvatos agreed.
Of course, without a doubt, the seizure of the position of the Demon King army would turn into a fist fight with just that.
“Ahh, yeah. It would be better for advanced practitioners .... Well, I guess we should decide next time.”
In response to Eina making a truly mysterious face, Varvatos replied with a smile without strength behind her.
“In that case, shouldn't we add in the settings that it's just a workout?”
“Training?”
Hearing Orel's words, Varvatos sent a staring gaze that was very interested in him.
“In other words, let's put the arrangement as an exercise for fellow Demon King troop members. Wouldn't it be fine if we just prepared the troops as we wished, asked them to choose which troops they would use in their game, and made them go to war by gathering their own troops.”
“I see, it also has a good sound point to cause attachment with the setting making them choose the real Demon King army.”
Hearing the unexpected suggestion from Orel, Eina also nodded.
Varvatos also felt that Orel's ideas were clearly not bad at all.
If they use their brains starting from the selection of pieces, then it might push positive thoughts towards the group battle.
“Yosh, then let's send a piece-piece order with that direction to Norm and .....”, then,
“Ah , wait, wait, Var-var ”.
It was there that Sechste appeared in the Throne Room while out of breath .
Clearly looking like she was running with all her might, Sechste's clothes were a bit messy, yet, for some reason, her hairdo was fixed properly.
“So you're Sechste. What's wrong?”
“Did you not hear my crying heart. You're discussing very interesting things now, but you're not asking me to make this innocent heart cry, isn't there someone right in front of you. Aren't you too Cuey? I mean, look at Orel over there, rather than him wouldn't it be better for me, you know?”
“..... As if ......”.
Sechste went from a quick run to a dropkick towards Orel who sighed seriously. However, since Orel did not collapse as anyone expected, Sechste went and added a knee strike to him and then turned to look at Varvatos.
“Ah & beyond. About what was being talked about earlier.”
“Nn? Ahh, I also feel that your words were questionable.”
“Not about that part.”
While clicking his tongue at Orel who was holding Sechste's punch with a calm face, Sechste flicked his hand to the side.
“It's about piece. For the first pieces that are in a set with a game board, can you limit only to Goblin?”
“Why?”
Hearing Zweita's words, Varvatos also replied with the same reaction.
“Yes, I was thinking the same thing with Zweita. Why is there a need for such a thing?”
“This is for the sake of changing the economy, see. Entertainment changes the economy very well.” Varvatos immediately understood the meaning of those words.
“...... Ahh, so. So you're trying to get them to buy an extra piece.”
“That's. You can make them buy bags filled with random pieces. Which may contain such Four Cardinal Generals, and of course the Var-var pieces should be low in number, of course.”
What Sechste said was of course true.
By changing the acquisition rate depending on the piece, it will make them buy additional pieces in order to make their own creation troops, and they will definitely have affection for the piece they are getting.
And then, it could make them enthusiastic for the board game it was created as well, then it could achieve the goal of making the Monsters use their heads as well.
If he remembered correctly, there should have been a similar concept in the world that Varvatos also came from.
Feeling like he would remember, Varvatos slightly tilted his head. There must be something but.
But still, changing his mind and thinking such things were happening as well, Varvatos turned his mind around.
“True, let's go with it.”
“While we do it, even the board itself, let's change things like materials and make a whole range of different types and terrains. That way it'll be better. I highly recommend it.”
Of course, from cheap boards to high-class boards.
“Yosh, Eina. Can we move forward in that direction?”
“As you want. This will be done soon.”
Eina said that, and left the Throne Room.
Most likely, a set of samples will be made in the next few days. The rules should be settled well later.
“Sechste.”
“What, Var-var. Have you fallen in love with me?”
“Please keep individual movement and better rules. Since it's Eina that we're talking about, she will definitely have a frightening number of pieces.”
“Eh, I don't want ....”
“Please do that.”
“Ehh ...... Var-var, it's your idea, right?”
“Don't say that. I'll give you some beautiful pieces after everything is done.”
“Then give me the Var-var, the original.”
“You can't.”
“What's 'Anything. Zweita, don't get in the way.”
Seeing Zweita and Sechste start glaring at each other, Orel quietly took refuge near the window to easily escape.
While watching the scene, Varvatos .. felt a calmness that he really did not feel for a long time.
