Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 103: The Monster Slave

The reaction of those who were afraid was difficult.

Those who were terrified had not been able to calm down since the audience began.

Both Gozus and Mezus were threatened with silence by the 'Devil King Haki', although this seemed to have a rather strong effect on the weaker races outside.

They were the ones who felt fear in response to my rather cute outer appearance.

Were they really afraid of such a small force.

Well, most of them managed to calm themselves down when we discussed the technological exchanges and territorial cooperation that had been established, so that we would be able to establish suitable contacts without them getting more and more frightened.

But this is where our problems begin.

The last audience was with the elves, who, had a complaint to file with me …

The people who came to the discussion were a number of their elders, although there was specifically a disappointing shortage in the female elf variety.

To begin with, fairy races are generally notorious for their unusual longevity.

Since they were said to be the descendants of the forest elves, they had an average lifespan of between five hundred and eight hundred years.

There were even people who were advised to live longer, approaching life like fairies.

Their bodies matured at the age of 20, similar to the human race, but stopped aging beyond that point.

For humans who continue to age to death, they race for envy.

That was the reason why, even if they were called elf elders, they still had a very young appearance.

They begin to age rapidly as they begin to approach their deaths, and after roughly twenty or thirty years after the aging process begins, they face the risk of senility, and, just like an elderly human.

Because of their age, they tend to be unprepared for childbirth, and they also do not have the most fertile bodies. For that reason, their numbers remain very small.

I had known this before, though I was also told, validating my past knowledge, that because they lived so long, their specific village limited the number of offspring allowed. This seems to be a rather important aspect of their society.

After all, elves were the descendants of the hybrid mutation of fairies and fairies. As it stood, they were somewhat similar to the dwarf race as both of them had fairy blood in them. Though the two races are naturally incompatible with each other for various reasons.

Interactions between the fairies in the long forgotten past and other races have led to the cultivation of their ancestors.

I can't judge what happened at the time. I don't even know if it's possible for a fairy to father their own child.

On top of that, the only fairy I really know right now is Ramiris .. Honestly, it wasn't a good first impression for a race, though, but I will keep my mind open for improvement.

From what I gathered from Ramiris out of curiosity, he could not remember much about his relatives, no matter how much he tried to look back. It seemed that he had experienced repeated reincarnations.

I remember things like that as I continued to listen to the elder's suit.

The elders have started with the official bow.

(Elven Elder 1)

“It's an honor to meet you.

Surely, today is a suitable one for celebration and ... excuse me, but can you listen to our rather selfish clothes? "

After this, we finally entered into a discussion on the main topic.

In short, the elder went on to explain that a number of their villagers had been kidnapped. They asked for our cooperation to save them.

Because they were so desperate in their attempts to plead with me, I was rather sure that they were not lying about the situation. Honestly, choosing a word other than suit might be a better idea for this particular situation.

We listen to their fate in detail.

From the very beginning, the elves were under the protection of a barrier of a sufficiently powerful type of illusion that would change the direction of one's gaze, thus preventing most intruders from approaching their settlement.

Since they had lived long, their most expert members had created this barrier to protect them from outside threats. Since their appearance was always very attractive, they also became the target of greedy human slaves.

However, their problems began to occur about three hundred years ago, when the master who created the barrier had married into a foreign nation and left the village.

It seems that the somewhat perverted and ageless individual in their community wants to prove their fledgling abilities and wants to close the gap between himself and his former master. In the end, he had messed up the barrier and made life under the protection of the barrier rather difficult.

This happened about a hundred years ago, just when the war between Mezu and Gozu had just begun to heat up.

In other words, they were just unlucky in this matter.

Thus, due to the distortion effect that caused the problem, living in a hidden village became rather difficult.

They were forced to start looking for a way to move their village, although, due to the vastness of the Great Jura Forest, finding a new location to build their village proved rather difficult.

Meanwhile, the number of magical beast attacks had become much more frequent recently, and by this time the barrier's maintenance had stopped.

It seems that they have decided to move their settlement closer to the human settlement for security.

In the end ... this turns out to be the cause of the worst-case scenario as they find themselves attacked by the slaves.

Slaves of monsters were forbidden in most of the human Kingdom. Thus, while Elves might be one of the half-human species considered closest to humans, they were still treated as if they were monsters. Different from humans, less than humans.

In the case of neighboring kingdoms, instead of enforcing such laws, there are often bribes involved in many levels of government.

They had tried to fight back desperately, however, the hunters had vast experience in such matters. Thus, in the end, the result caused many of their young people to be arrested.

In short what happened.

(Rimuru)

“Hmmmm, is this something that has happened in a day or so? There might be something that could be done if those responsible were still close by or even still in the forest. If a few days have passed, then it may be a futile effort …. ”

What I want to achieve by asking this is to confirm the most important details.

Later then…

(Elven Elder 2)

"Just after the large-scale surprise attack on our people, we have received the news of the Demon King's coronation. Not only that, but the person recognized by the Great Demon King at their banquet.

Since then, we have decided that it will be the will of the heavens for us to last as long as we have, to beg for protection and assistance from the upcoming Demon King.

We understand how difficult this is, but, we can only hope to ignore our self-esteem and ... unabashedly for your help … "

(Rimuru)

"I saw…"

So, basically, right after the surprise attack that had destroyed their people, news of the coronation of a recognized Demon Lord had come to them.

They had fallen so deep into despair with almost all their options and hopes exhausted. So, in the end, finding the Demon King in their forest government had become their last hope.

However.... this will not be a heavenly test to challenge my love for fairies ... right?

In other words, a fight is going on with me .. After all these problems, we can finally have the elves open a shop in my country !?

A sudden, somewhat dark thought enveloped my mind, and so I planned.

Inexcusable, those humans who dared to enslave these elves should never be forgiven. I would not allow such behavior!

Though, I wonder how many of them will work seriously for my cause after all this is done. It wouldn't be worth all the effort if I didn't accept anything …

(Rimuru)

"Good .

As for your request, I'll give you my help.

I pray for the arrival of the destined success of our collaboration in the near future. Let's start the rescue mission at once. ”

I have given them my promise and let them rest. They have been on the run of total despair to reach here for some time now.

Their village was no longer suitable for habitation and abandonment, and the new village they were trying to build was gone. Since this was the case, all the survivors of the attack all came here.

In the end, they had bid their lives from before the separation because they were afraid the rest of them would also become slave victims and get caught.

The number of people I can take with me at the hunting party will be somewhat limited, and it seems that the hunters withdrew as they completed their first attack.

I called Souei to start an investigation in the elf village that had been attacked. If any information is found, it will be there.

Right now, Souei and the others are launching their investigation.

(Rimuru)

"If you happen to find some hunters, or if they come back, catch them alive. We will make them ... share .. information about their inner workings. I want to close their little rings for good if I can get a chance. ”

(Souei)

"Will you!"

Souei quickly set out to enforce my order.

Hmmm... . This will be fine.

After that, I contacted Myormiles to ask if he knew anything about monster slaves.

With this, the meeting with the elves had more or less ended, leaving me for my own research into.

For the sake of my dream of becoming the owner of 'Elven Shop', there would be no limit to how far I would go. This is not the time for rest, I have to find it at all costs!

————————————-

I'm leaving for Myormiles. I hesitated asking him to come to me because he was busy with my other orders, so I decided it would be best to go and talk to him in person.

Well ... it's part of that …

I wanted to get out of there before they started decorating me, putting tangerines on my head, and treating me like a statue. Thus, I was able to escape from that altar …

To be honest, even though the Labyrinth project is very close and dear to my heart, if I had.

The main priority that should be on everyone's mind right now is the immediate release of the elf captives.

With my thoughts changed, I and a few others rushed towards Myormile's workplace.

(James)

“Yeah, if not Rimuru-sama!

Sorry, a little busy here, maybe you prefer to talk somewhere else? "

(Rimuru)

“Hmm, indeed, this is hard work, Myormiles-san.

I have to greet so many people as the head of this city.

Well, I guess it just feels like my job lately. ”

(James)

“Ha ha hah, is that true.

Well, what might bring you to this humble man today, Rimuru-sama? ”

Hmmm, even though he became rather busy, he was still willing and able to spare some time for me.

Enough people can do that if I say it.

We moved to different locations and spent time discussing various things, including my main reason for being there.

I asked him about what he knew about monster slavery over some imported red tea.

After our chat, I managed to gain a rough understanding of the current situation.

What I didn't previously know was that there was one organization behind this whole issue. It was known as 'Cerberus'.

I guess if there were an organization like the Freedom Association, there would of course be an organization like this as well …

In groups like the Freedom Association, there are taxes to be paid when someone claims a reward for a mission or quest. On the other hand, if you are part of a confidential organization, you do not have to pay taxes on your profits.

Naturally, the content of such work is illegal.

However, since this is a vital work for the sake of the evil of the world, there will be a work that should not be revealed for the continuation of the functioning of society.

When it comes to such things, there are many who make use of such methods. Especially among the nobles who did not want to dirty their own hands with such messy things, the secret organization Cerberus was very useful to them.

Therefore, through a strong understanding between the various people who run the society, such secret associations are allowed to exist.

The three heads of the association of Cerberus were known as [Wealth], [Women], and [Strength].

The individual who governs these three aspects of life is called the 'Big Three'.

Myormiles also mentioned that other than Cerberus, no other organization would be able to carry out large-scale monster slavery.

The black market is unlikely to spread its wings too far.

In short, the work done by Cerberus has always been supported by nobles or great powers, certainly not a simple thing you can find in the back road.

Back to back, from simplicity to complexity, Cerberus is an organization that actually has a good set of rules.

(James)

“But danna, although they cannot be compared to the Freedom Association in terms of size, they still have a great influence. They were large associations that controlled a large amount of wealth.

Thanks to that, it would be difficult to face them with the strength of one country. In terms of business, we also do some transactions together, but we follow the rules. From legal work to illegal work.

They will do the work in any form as long as it benefits them.

It is mentioned among others.

Wise slavery, even among Cerberus, is still illegal.

Although the individuals involved this time were monsters, they were also considered to be half-humans. Thus, they are found in the gray zone between legal and illegal in the underworld.

(Rimuru)

“Yeah, I've got a general idea now.

If one were to make a transaction with an elf as an item, if it wasn't such an organization, it probably wouldn't even be possible.

If they were not armed politely, it might not even be possible for them to catch the elves …. ”

Saying this louder than me grumbled …

(James)

"Eh?

When you talk about monster slaves, you have mentioned elves right?

Now that I really thought about it ... recently, I heard a rumor about a group of elf slaves … "

When Myormiles said that, I also remembered something.

The fairy race had declined over the centuries, currently there might not be more than a hundred left.

There could be no willing elven slaves around.

Maybe they're all related if I can find them.

(Rimuru)

"Can you tell me the full details of Myormiles-san?"

Unexpectedly, I seemed to have managed to obtain information that would help us resolve this incident from an unexpected source.

That information seemed to be about some Viscount.

The name rang a bell, though I wasn't sure if it would be convenient to meet him like that so I ignored the feeling.

That was until Myormiles himself mentioned that the two were in the same condition.

(James)

“It looks like you might remember it.

That's right, it's the same individual that has spoken to me when you entered my store last time. He was trying to get me to support the business venture with the elven slaves as managers. ”

Hah .. I see, so that's the guy.

I have forgotten it completely, however, the King of Wisdom Rafael has raised the man because he fits that profile. Then when Myormiles mentioned it, Rafael raised a picture in my head.

Now that I saw him, he reeked of suspicion.

The next thing to do is …

(Rimuru)

"This person ... Since he took people from my territory, can't this be easily used as a casus belli?

Usually if someone wanted to dare kidnap citizens from another country, I would see it as more or less declaring war on them. ”

As a precaution, I decided it would be safe to ask Myormiles.

(James)

"Hmm?

A .. ah .. I think so …

According to an agreement signed and agreed between the majority of countries, if the inhabitants of a country were to be kidnapped and or detained at their will, it would not be strange if it led to a war that began from it.

To avoid such a situation, slavery was eventually outlawed.

But ... to actually state that elves are citizens of Tempest .. isn't that a bit difficult? "

(Rimuru)

"Eh?"

(James)

“...... Eh?”

(Rimuru)

"Why did that happen?"

(James)

"No Why?

Even if you ask me …

I suppose it is to say that if they do not live in your city directly, then they will not be exempt from the rights of the Jura Forest. . ? ”

Hmmm…? Isn't this a bit different from what the problem is?

While the entire Jura Forest has become my territory, there should be no doubt about all the species that are under my jurisdiction …

Even if the species is similar to Tengu who insist on a non-interference pact, I still have to say more than enough about what people can do to people who are under my influence.

I allow all of them to live within my territory, and I allow non-interference with them. Even if I did not bother them, I would not acknowledge the influence or interference of other countries, even to such groups.

One not only received heavenly prestige from the Demon King, it was a simple fact.

(Rimuru)

"Myormiles-san, The Great Jura Forest as a whole is given as my demesne, so I should fully have the ability to voice my grievances if someone is trying to mess with the people inside, huh?"

(James)

“.... . huh? ”

(Rimuru)

"No, I've already decided to claim it as my territory as well, so, should the invitations sent out also only double as state disclosures?"

(James)

"… Eh …. . ?

This invitation is for the sake of uncovering the approved monster state …?

And ... this fighting tournament will also be used ... to announce the news that the Demon King rules over such a country …? "

Apparently ... there seems to be some kind of fundamental misunderstanding between us.

Coincidentally .. does he perhaps not know? That the entire forest was decided to be my territory. . ?

(Rimuru)

"Myormiles-san …. …

I'd like to confirm something with you .. Did you not realize that my official appointment as Demon King at the banquet also gave me territory … and that the region will consist of the entire Great Jura Forest …? "

Realizing the size of the territory I controlled, Myormiles was completely at a loss for words.

He had a black expression if he was no longer able to process information.

Huh huh? But .... no words came out .. To think he would be surprised so far …

I just think he already knows about this …

I'm sure he already knew about it, it was my fault.

Come to think of it, I might not even have explained well how I now manage the entire forest.

Suddenly Myormiles managed to process the information.

(James)

“HAAAAAHHHH? The whole forest !?

The whole ... Great Jurassic Forest …

Rimuru-danna. . Me ... eh .. You are accepted as a big domain ?! "

The conversation became a bit chaotic.

Unfortunately, I think he may almost feel cheated in some way.

Well, there are many terrible things in this world, this is probably the most tame of them.

But I want to wait before I do everything. Working with just a small amount of territory is easy, but working with such a large amount can be troublesome.

Yes, it was mainly because I wanted a very easy life that I recruited him to help.

So what is wrong with the current situation, it is the fault of those who accept without knowing all the details.

Once tournament management is complete, it may be goodbye.

Of course such a thing would probably not be allowed.

Moreover, there would be no problem with handing everything over to him in the future as well.

Regarding this, we have the same status regarding the current events, so let's laugh at it. Forgive and forget .

Right, Myormiles-san?

(James)

"Eh .. Why do you have such a happy air around you …

What is it about the same status you mentioned earlier !?

Wait ... doesn't this mean I was lied to unilaterally !?

I mean, there's no way I can be satisfied with the content of my current work !!! ”

(Rimuru)

"What's up with that, there's no problem here, right?"

(James)

"Well, rather, you certainly won't end up entrusting everything to me, right …

That ... is impossible .. Great Jura Forest development .. You didn't leave everything to me... right …? "

(Rimuru)

“Ah hah hah hah, why are you!

Well, we're superior to ourselves here.

What matters now is the elves!

He looked like he was trying to deny something, but in the end gave up. Rather than that, the important thing now was the elves.

As if he was jolted from his shock, Myormiles had a serious expression once again.

He has a faster mental recovery speed than I thought. Well, either that or he might have just decided to give up just like that ……

Things advanced quickly from that point.

Since he might be here for a fair reason, I will question Viscount Cossack with ama.

So I propose,

(Rimuru)

"No, even if it catches that little fry, there's no point doing it.

They would definitely cut their losses so it was still too early for the king to make a move at this point. ”

I have proposed that.

I am sure, there is a mutual aid pact that has been signed and put into law, so the Burmund kingdom should be in a position to deal with their heretical nobles this time around.

Rather than going head-to-head with them, it might be too early to start forming countermeasures.

(Rimuru)

“It might be better. By the way, I have never met the king, what should I do? "

Myormiles nodded, I leave it to you! Well, I'm the contract negotiation.

Therefore, we decided to start this plan immediately.

So, I took Myormiles and headed towards Burmund's kingdom with "the creation of a spatial transfer gate".

This was due to the influence of spatial abilities, a gap of distortion began to appear in front of me.

You can move between multiple locations, this is an improved version of "spatial transfer.

After setting a goal, I could move there in an instant. Since I could bring others, it was convenient, but a long time consumer of magical energy.

Thinking about it in common sense, manipulating space-time would naturally consume quite a bit of energy.

But for me, this is no big deal.

Since there was no excessive wasted time while transferring, I was able to move quickly.

At first, myormiles were terrified, but we passed through the gate unexpectedly smoothly.

As expected, it was a huge structure.

Maybe it was because I was beginning to understand the way the demon lords thought, nothing seems to bother me anymore.

At Myormiles house, I was waiting for the other party to make contact.

After sending Myormiles to the royal capital, we have requested an audience with the king.

However it would take time, so he told me to wait in the hall.

But even before 3 hours had passed, the horse carriage arrived smoothly.

Myormiles has succeeded and came to pick me up.

(James)

“As expected, everything went smoothly.

I am glad that I mentioned the same name Rimuru when I asked for an audience.

Permission granted immediately.

Since we have already discussed the situation, today Viscount Cossack will also be present for this meeting ”

They've handled me much more carefully than I thought.

After being informed of how important the arriving guests were, perhaps they simply acted accordingly.

Yes, intelligence is the lifeline for the weak, that's how they survive among the strong. So maybe they are driven by thoughts about what would happen if they mishandled the situation.

Good with Fuze in the area, they performed well.

We arrived at the Royal Capital, and entered the wide hall.

There a simple seat, tea, snacks, and anything else was prepared.

The fat man who was sitting on one of the chairs stood up and came to greet us, and arrived behind happened to be a friend of Fuze Baron Baruyado.

I would assume, that this fat uncle here is probably the king of this country.

(King of Burud)

"It's nice to meet you, I'm the king of this country,

Burud von Burumdo.

Nice to meet you, King of Monsters. No, Members of the Eight Star Demon Lords, High Demon Lord Rimuru-dono. ”

He spoke to me in a friendly tone, I was surprised.

I mean, did the king just come to greet me in front of others? No, this is probably because I am also a recognized King.

(Rimuru)

“It's nice to meet you, I'm Rimuru Tempest. I have become the demon lord, but can we still continue our agreement? ”

(King of Burud)

"Of course . We'll ask you the same.

We do not know this, and it seems to make you uncomfortable, I'm grateful for your humility.

Anyway, please punish this one. As for compensation for damage .... ”.

(Rimuru)

"No, no, don't worry about things like that.

There is no need to do a repair if the problem is eventually solved.

I want us to continue to be good acquaintances in the best interests of our people. ”

(King of Burud)

"Oh! Having you say this is really beneficial, of course a decent person has power and prestige just like you. ”

It was a docile face, but once he smiled there was an exaggerated irritating feeling to it.

While I was a bit unsure if he would pay anything, there was no real doubt that this great uncle was a rather cunning character.

However, I wonder why. He was a very pleasant uncle.

During our conversation, two of the ones who came were brought.

One of them was the character in question, Count Cossack himself.

Like how I saw him before, he was wearing some good quality clothes.

He was surrounded by the royal guards, unable to understand what was happening.

The other was a man dressed in pitch black. Her outfit is a black Chinese style suit, with gold embroidery, depicting 3 tiger heads.

When they say Cerberus, I'm sure it will be the gatekeeper of three-headed hell. Though, I wonder if there is a difference here …

From my point of view, this person was likely the executive Cerberus, with the same and unwavering expression towards me, as well as the similar dignity of the king.

The soldiers just surrounded him, but they did not dare to interfere with him.

This was probably because he had an atmosphere that separated him from ordinary humans.

(Viscount Cossacks)

“Ki-king! What business are you calling me right now?

I-I, did nothing wrong! ”

Suddenly Viscount Cossack shouted miserably.

However, he was distracted, and Baron Baruyado explained.

While explaining, his face changed from blue to pale white.

(Viscount Cossacks)

“I...it's impossible! Is that a monster? Even if you are dealing with a lesser monster, I grieve .... ”.

Headache .. Therefore I am offended .. not hurting this person seems to be causing even greater headaches …

However, I survived. For the words I have said before.

If it wasn't for that promise everything would be dangerous.

Despite that, the King surprisingly released a wave of anger, if someone was weak, they might even die.

Probably worried about my patience in this situation …

(King of Burud)

"You can silence yourself!

With His Majesty's decision related to this matter, we will officially decide on the full dissolution of the Cossacks.

Regarding the deportation of the former Viscount Cossack, we will accept any official objections.

There's more than enough evidence here, so there's no point in complaining.

To continue, the former Viscount would be detained during his trial period. Your accommodation will be a dungeon.

Guard, release, this matter is closed. ”

Just as he said that, the two characters had been taken back as quickly as they came.

Bringing it with him is futile but small things.

His personality is sucked up but he will be well punished for his crimes. I don't mind.

Now only black men remain, who may be from Cerberus.

The problem, however, is with the indifferent appearance on the face of the Cerberus executive.

It seemed like he was also dragged before he could explain his circumstances.

Putting aside the organization, does he know where he is currently?

No. .... was he told by the state to accept the request?

I decided to look at both figures …

High quality clothes.

Fair-spoken.

A very dangerous look.

His mouth curled into a smile, as if he was enjoying the situation.

Slowly he,

(Mysterious Man)

“Fumun, it seems someone accidentally stepped on a landmine.

The atmosphere around you, it surpasses the demon lord who came to make a contract

……

You're a great man.

Apparently, something unexpected and unfortunate has happened, and I'm sorry for that.

I've got a certain way of business with this one, if you're going to be kind. ”

So we approach our business.

Dignified and reasonable this one too.

I have taken human form, but I have not let go of my "Haki Satan Haki.

If it was a Tengus, they would probably react similarly to this form.

However, this fellow looked through my disguise at a glance.

If I were to negotiate with the demon lord, I would find it very difficult.

A large organization, a partner of the Freedom Association, a Secret Organization.

That may not be all. Even the king of a country cannot mess with him.

Then, I was afraid that the individual in front of me was ……

(Rimuru)

Hum, I'll say this first, I hope you guys release the captured fairies.

And the release of other monsters you captured.

In addition, I would like to request that in the future, trapping, looting and capturing monsters in the Great Jura Forest should be prohibited. ”

The Cerberus executive, looking at me with an eye at first, ignored the view of the king and the others.

King Burmund stood as if he were a reserve officer, not even a sound of complaint was raised.

One might also be drunk in this atmosphere.

This is proof that this person is not an ordinary person.

Well, what's your answer to my request, I'm almost continuing this after a short pause.

(Cerberus Big 3, Damurada)

"Allah .

We will return all the captured monsters. Of course, the elves too. And we, Cerberus promise to hereafter never disturb the Great Jurassic Forest on behalf of Damurada, one of the 3 Great Cerberus. ”

He just swore.

As expected, yes.

One of the Big 3. In other words, he is not an executive at all.

This person was someone at the top of the underworld.

One of the 3 bosses who organized the Cerberus organization, he was such a man.

(Rimuru)

"Allah . Since you promised not to bother us in the future, I will ignore it this time.

However, please be aware that there will be no second time okay?

Even a person like yourself, I would wonder what would happen if such a person found themselves at odds with one of the Eight Star Demon lords, he said, supported by an entire nation of high class demi-humans … "

This person, might know from somewhere that I have obtained the reign over the Great Jura Forest as his demon lord.

So I tried to test this theory.

My correspondence, and my abilities

There is also evidence, as all the humans in Burmund's corner were rather surprised that a top executive came here.

Even now the high-level executives of Cerberus are all wrapped in a veil of mystery. This is what I gathered after the fact by some nobles who came just to catch a glimpse of it.

It seemed, when the elves were being raided, they were hired by the Viscount, thus making this situation easy to handle if something went wrong, perhaps as they had planned.

Our meeting here maybe they used the opportunity to determine my strength, this must be their plan.

This was confirmed by Souei's transmissions, but there was no sign of an attack.

I'll bet .

When he lured me in, the plan was a success.

I ordered Souei to retreat from the location.

(Cerberus Big 3, Damurada)

“Fuuuu, fufufufuu.

No, I think it's as expected. I've seen.

Rising Star of the Eight Stars, I cannot be rash around you.

The one I previously knew, Clayman is just as unmatched as you.

Meeting you is my honor, High Demon King Rimuru. I hope we can form a friendly relationship in the future. ”

As expected, he succeeded.

What a landmine I stepped on! And, I pretended not to know.

Even though I knew he had skills, I was not afraid.

Quite a cautious individual. Damurada of Cerberus.

It seems that he will be a difficult enemy.

The Special Armor we gave the orc lords, he might as well be aware of it.

I wondered if this was arranged by Yuuki, but as I expected, I was tracked down.

Even so, it was unexpected for other organizations to get involved. No, their relationship is currently unknown.

Damurada bowed gracefully towards us, and left the place.

They had a sense of duty now, and promised to send the monsters they captured as slaves.

After only one week, as promised, the captured monsters were sent to the Tempest monster country.
