Synopsis
​

Suffering years of workplace abuse and shuffling between different countries to take on jobs no one else wants, Dennosuke Uchimura never expected his next transfer to be to another world. After all, his tireless efforts catch the Demon Lord's attention; he deems Uchimura the perfect candidate to fill the vacant spot among the Four Heavenly Generals.

Despite Uchimura being an ordinary human, he earns the Demon Lord's recognition through his knack for solving impossible situations—a skill he honed through years as an overseas manager. With rising dissension among the demon army and failing negotiations with other tribes, it is up to Uchimura to justify the faith bestowed upon him and bring one final push for the Demon Lord's vision of dominance and perfection.

Episode 1 was good. The Demon King assembled his four generals. Ulmandra the Inferno Assailant, Sylphid Archmage of Storms, Gnome Earthen Bastion and finally Uchimura Uchimura Overseas Manager who he summoned from another world.

Back in his world, after going through the awful job hunting process, Uchimura began working at a company. Obviously he put in a lot of effort and tried to rise through the ranks, but while all of his other colleagues had success, he didn't despite seemingly doing more work. This just had the company abuse what he was willing to do, so they shipped him off overseas to get an overseas branch up and running. After a lot of struggling, he finally got things going smoothly, which is when they shipped him off to the next overseas venture to get up and running which is basically when he was summoned.

The Demon King has seen his worth, and given his goal of uniting Demons and Demi Humans, he sees what Uchimura has been able to do as a massive win for him, so wants his assistance while offering great worker rights. The other generals naturally protest, so a trial is prepared. Ulmandra takes this as a combat test, so goes to attack him but luckily the Demon King steps in. The trial is to successfully make a pact with the Minotaur Trible which has been a struggle so far.

Ulmandra was previously the one trying to form a pact with Lord Tarius, but it fell apart again. From his overseas experience, Uchimura gathered that it was basically banter of the negotiation process that Tarius was wanting, so when he did that and put the hay back in, as that was meant for him to sleep on which sealed the deal. It was a misunderstanding preventing the alliance. Seems like Ulmandra has already made Uchimura her friend.

 

Episode 2 was good. Uchimura's next task was making a successful pact with the Ogre tribe and they are almost akin to a competitor. Ulmandra accompanied Uchimura to the Ogre tribe, and was immediately getting mad at having to wait to see the Chief, Ogure.

The Chief comes off a bit demanding and like a dictator like the rumours seemed to suggest. He requested they bring the Demon King's head, then they can work under him which naturally angered Ulmandra. Uchimura defused the situation and left, but was also angry at his words. Ogure's daughter Olulu who is quite a beauty came to request they overthrow her father due to the current state of things. They're struggling with financial problems including things like food provisions. It's because of Ogure's health being in decline affecting his strength. Ogure see's they need to rely on the Demon Army to rebuild, but Ogure refuses. Uchimura lecture's her on oversharing information. This has her propositioning Uchimura to marry her to help things. Naturally that pissed off Ulmandra.

In the end, with the help of Olulu, they annexed the surrounding tribes getting them to ally with the Demon Army due to the lack of help they were receiving from the Ogre tribe due to their own circumstances. This forced Ogure to accept with his daughter having helped make the other alliances. Olulu became a representative of the ogre tribe and then accepted Uchimura's proposal to work under him.

 

Episode 3 was good. Olulu has been busy at work under Uchimura, she completed negotiations with the Werebear Tribe. Uchimura also received a distinguished service award for the successful negotiation with the Ogre Tribe. Gim Porridge is the stable food for the demons, which seems like a tiny portion of scraps and watered down at that. Seeing his disappointment, Ulmandra took him hunting. She took out a huge hellhog which had even eaten five orcs. Ulmandra's idea of cooking the meat, was to not even remove the fur, just torch it basically burnt with her magic. Naturally it tasted fowl to Uchimura. He took the oven of the Orc tribe, and cooked up a dish which they all loved.

On their way back, Uchimura made a comment about Ulmandra covering up which made her so bad she left him alone and went back. When he finally got back, he was ordered to not apologize by the Demon King. Uchimura took it upon himself to learn more about the culture. Essentially, the stronger the demons body the stronger their magic and they show off their bodies as it's showing off the hard work they put in. On the flip side, Ulmandra was crying to Olulu that Uchimura didn't find her attractive and she realised it was a misunderstanding, and she seemed like a tease lol.

In the end, they both went back and apologized to each other and put forth their words, ending in a good outcome.
