* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: The Demon King's appearance is different to everyone who looks at him. Bashbarza sees him as a young teenage boy, while his father Granbarza sees him as a large dragon. It actually gets discussed in the case of the latter, when Granbarza actually asks the Demon King when he started to use the appearance of a dragon. This actually impresses the Demon King, who explains that his appearance serves as a reflection of whoever is observing him. The immature and petulant Bashbarza sees a bratty teenager, while his calmer and more powerful father sees a mighty dragon.

* BigBad: AvertedTrope. It is next to impossible to pin the whole blame for the war between the humans and the demons on either side. Furthermore, while Bashbarza is TheHeavy, his actions have ironically ''improved'' Dariel's life, not to mention that defeating him still leaves plenty of unrelated threats still active. At the end of the day, a combination of several generations worth of perpetual grudges, refusal to communicate and use diplomacy, lots of differently developed, yet mutual FantasticRacism and a slew of boring yet important economic motivations are the main cause of the problems in the setting.

!Tropes that appear in the series:
* AnAesop: Nepotism is unreliable. Being related or raised by a successful/qualified individual, or even being legitimately skilled in some fields, doesn't necessarily mean that you are the right fit for the specific job, however:
** In the case of Bashbarza, he was appointed on account of having inherited his father's fire abilities, Bashbarza's academic success and the assumption that he'd keep Dariel to maintain a stable bureaucracy. Instead, he fires Dariel out of petty spite and proceeds to hire random sycophants to posts that are well beyond their abilities.
** In the case of Dariel, his father-in-law passes to position of Lux Village mayor to him only ''after'' observing Dareil for several months and ultimately determining that Dariel really does have the charisma, kindness, combat skills and the administrative skills needed to effectively lead.
** Basically, if you want to recommend/appoint someone you know to an important position, limit yourself to only the people you can say for certain that they are fit for the job, ''don't even consider'' the people you like, but are inept.
* BigBad: AvertedTrope. It is next to impossible to pin the whole blame for the war between the humans and the demons on either side.

* CentralTheme: PassingTheTorch. Practically every character over the age of fifty in the story seeks to prepare a successor to take up their mantle, and all of those successors have huge responsibilities, burdens and expectations placed on them, with each case going differently:
** Granbarza wanted his son Bashbarza to continue where he left of and work in tandem with Dariel, alas this is also the only full-on failure to pass the torch;
** Smith passes his role of the mythril blacksmith to his disciple Sakai. Unlike other examples [[spoiler: Smith passes away during the one year TimeSkip]] and thus Sakai cannot ask him for advice, unlike all other successors who can still consult their [[spoiler: still-living]] predecessors;
** Gilmas passes on the position of the Lux village mayor to his son-in-law Dariel. Unlike other examples, this was an almost ''ad hoc'' decision, with Dariel not even considering the mayorship until Gilmas assures him he has already demonstrated the necessary qualities for the job;
** The former hero Alantsil trained Laidy the current hero and passes on his position to her. However, he is self-aware of his KnightInSourArmor status and warns his successor not to end up like him.
** The series also goes to great lengths to demonstrate how BoringYetPractical skills such as administration, collecting herbs, first aid and even simple housework can go a long way to make life easier, no matter how much one would take them for granted.
* FantasticRacism: The humans and the demons look virtually identical, except that demons have ElementalPowers, while the humans use the aura skills. The demons view anyone who lacks magic as PitifulWorms, while the humans see the demon kind as AlwaysChaoticEvil.

* MirroringFactions: The humans and the demons are much more similar than they'd like to admit, and for extra {{irony}} their respective flags are rather similar in style.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler: Smith has a modestly long mini-arc, and passes away off-screen during the one-year TimeSkip. However, by then he has already: made Dariel's signature weapon, trained his apprentice to take up his place and laid the foundation for the revival of the art of mythril weapon crafting after access to the material was already secured by Dariel, completing the necessary conditions for the Lux Village's economic revival.]]
* TimeSkip: DownplayedTrope. The story skips to one year after Dariel marries Marika. The only three important changes are that [[spoiler: Gashita TookALevelInBadass reaching B-rank, Smith dying and Sakai inheriting his position, and to skip to the point where Lux Village has already decently developed thanks to an influx of people who came to live there following the recapture of the mythril mine.]]

It takes Dariel forcing the human side to go along with negotiating a trade deal with the demons just to ''finally'' lay the foundation for actual diplomacy later on.
* WorldOfMuscleMen: The majority of adult men are muscular, with several supposedly weakened/retired seasoned veterans well in their fifties having a HeroicBuild. Even the LongHairedPrettyBoy Bashbarza has a toned body with defined abs.

Chillin' in My 30s After Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army (Japanese:Hepburn: Kaiko Sareta Ankoku Heishi (Sanjū-dai) no Surō na Sekando Raifu) is a Japanese light novel series written by Rokujūyon Okazawa and illustrated by Sage Joh. It was serialized online via the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō from November 2018 to July 2020. It was later acquired by Kodansha, who have published three volumes since August 2019 under their Kodansha Ranobe Books imprint.
It tells the story of Dariel,a member of the Demon race and aide to the four Demon Generals who lead the battle against humanity, after he's just been fired by the newest General, Bashbarza due to his lack of magical ability like most demons.
Out of a job and the laughingstock of the Demon Army, he chooses to wander until coming across a human girl named Marika and saves her from a monster. After receiving warm hospitality from Marika and her village (and discovering the shocking revelation he was actually human) he decides to start his new life there and doing what he can to use his newfound human-sided powers and years of administrative experience to better the ailing village.
Meanwhile the Demon Army soon faces severe consequences due to Dariel's absence and his greatly underrstimated managment skills that will soon lead to a domino effect of catastrophic proportions.

* OutscareTheEnemy: When Lady Zebiantes misbehaves after finding Dariel again, Marika's suppressed rage makes itself known when she fires a wine cork REAL close to Zebiantes' head with a BANG, missing her. She also gives a DeathGlare that puts fear into Zebiantes as well. One final dig by Zebiantes earns her seeing Marika smashing down a pot near her, showing Marika's physical strength.

** Dariel went out of his way to provide up to date Intel on the Hero Party and other human developments. After he left the Generals soon found themselves on the backpedal due to their new sycophantic aides not doing the same level of research Dariel did.
** Dariel was a great people person and could better negotiate with the lower ranks of the Demon race. Without him the Demon Army devolved into bullying and threatening their own subjects into meeting impossible demands and quotas. This action would cause the Knockers to side with the humans after Dariel comes to visit them, costing the Demon Army the vital mythril mine.
** Dariel was also an excellent accountant and manager, making sure supply and armament chains ran smoothly. Once he's gone the Demon Army finds itself in chaos as nobody is properly managing their resources or finances, and all together end up in dire straits.
* TroubledSympatheticBigot: Alantsil the previous hero has an overwhelming hatred of demons as one of the previous demon generals killed his wife and presumably his infant son as well.
