Thanks for the translation.

"The overseas agent" - was this meant to be "The foreign agent"?
I think it's meant as a double meaning, since the 4 generals are usually tied to the 4 elements, and with Sylph (wind) Urumander (fire, and playing on Salamander, the usual fire spirit name), and Geonome (earth, and based on Gnome the earth spirit).

This leaves Uchimura as the Water general, and so the "overSEAS agent."

The demon king is a good king though; he may not be as insightful as MC, but has the charisma and power to earn the trust of all his underlings - as a good leader should. So I don't really get why he (or she as others suggest) would want to step aside for MC to become king.

Also, why kill ALL other kings? Surely one or two are like them and treat their subjects well, no?

Demon Lord wants MC to become a king. But his own desire is to dispose of all the kings...

He wants him to become king after he has dealt with the current kings. Demon Lord's issue with the kings is more with the system that put them in place, as it creates powerful warrior kings who are hopeless in administrative matters or complete tyrants (and none of them are apparently thinking about hiring chamberlains or seneschals for those tasks).
Since Uchimura is not a warrior but has the inner talents to make a good administrative king, he's the perfect embodiment of the Demon Lord's vision of a king without the need to deal with Calamity monsters and wants him to rise to the task.

He's a suitable king post-Magna Carta. have power and charisma but knows who to utilize his men more than his own abilities.
