Synopsis
The dark soldier, Dariel (30 years old), who can’t use magic despite being in the Demon Lord’s army, was fired for his lack of capacity. Having been raised by the previous Demon Lord himself, he finds that his adoptive brother, the new Demon Lord, has little use for him. However, after rescuing a villager girl from a forest monster, Dariel is invited into her village and starts realizing that he may be considerably more powerful than what he thought…

My Thoughts
I'd love to see the light novel of this series licensed. The manga, whilst generic is still great fun. Two great things about this series: the pace of the romance is quite fast, just looking at the illustration for volume 2 will show how fast. The second thing is the FL for the series, a fun character who may actually be the strongest.

Absolutely loved the manga version of this series, probably more than the light novel which was still enjoyable. I would happily add this to my purchase and read list.

The FL is a character which is hilariously overpowered in various ways {the phrase oki oppai easily cones to mind}

This is getting an anime, so maybe...
