Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 122: Hinata and Yuuki

Facing Yuuki, Hinata felt a strange pressure.

He had continued with the plan assuming that he could not be noticed.

「How did you notice?」

「Oh? A question even without a greeting! How cold, Hinata 」

"Silent . What do you mean those kids were bait? Is this a trap to start with? 」

He shrugged his shoulders, though,

「Isn't it clear? Now that they have stabilized, they are useless as material for 」 re-call

Yuuki smiled, as if the question was nothing special.

「Did you say re-call?」

「Yes. You know how it took a while to summon again due to the incredible consumption of magical energy?

And how you have to keep doing it until you call the right pawn; well, the kids are useful too, you know.

Merely, I can't use it anymore because Rimuru-san stabilized it.

As a result, we lost the contract .. most unfortunate 」

He said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Although her words and movements were taken into account to make someone comfortable, Hinata felt as if they were afraid.

And to Hinata, though,

「Hmm? You mean, you don't know about that?

When the children exploded from the unstable magic energy, the conditions for the summoning were met.

With that, we can call again.

That's why even a failed call is not in vain. 」

—-Ah, but unfortunately even Masayuki's popular hero is just a small fry in the end —-

Those words came as if from afar, but made Hinata angry.

This person, what do you think about human life! Maybe he wants to say it.

Hinata cannot tolerate such actions: Yuuki repeatedly calls people to fulfill orders of his business partners.

「Yuuki-oniichan, you saved us, didn't you?」

Alice was crying, though,

「Ahaha, you finally understand? I'm just keeping you alive because you've been using.

Alice, making such a sad face won't help, you know?

I will kill you once your use is exhausted .. In other words, I will keep you alive as long as you are useful 」

Yuuki responded harshly.

A cold-blooded passage awakens inside Hinata, urging her to kill the man standing in front of her.

This man should not be allowed to live.

「You , not only manipulate me, but the kids too!

And where's the other girl?

Where's Chloe Aubert?

Do you erase the memories of children? 」

Hinata yells, hinata shouts,

「Very unfortunate, making bugs is very troublesome, and I even got a great pawn …

Then……

And because you have your emotions "frozen" when you cling to the despair of being abandoned by your Mom! … The expression on your face is very valuable.

Very unfortunate. I completed the overly rational and ruthless Hinata with so much effort, and now all of you are now ordinary people with a strong sense of justice.

Who is Chloe Aubert? 」

Those words made Hinata angry.

However, Hinata calmed down and thought: Yuuki doesn't seem to be lying because he doesn't know who Chloe O'Bell is.

What's this about? Hinata repeated while controlling her anger.

From the corner of Hinata's eyes she could see the teary-faced Alice.

It was enough, this man was no longer allowed to talk in self-indulgence. Hinata thought as she unsheathed her sword from the Bracelet of the Holy Sprit armor.

At the same time, light particles curved around Hinata's body. When the wild dance of light died down, a fully armed Hinata appeared.

「Yuuki, for the sake of our old friendship, I will give you a chance to repent.

Now swear you'll apologize now, confess, and compensate for your crimes. 」

「Ahaha, why? Why apologize?

Isn't that the law of the jungle in this world?

The weak, the deceived are the bad guys, you know? 」

TN Note: The Law of the Jungle basically means survival of the strongest/strong feeding on the weak.

「Don't give me that shit!」

With his fury like roaring flames, Hinata's blade flashed towards Yuuki.

The main weapon of the new holy spirit weaponry was a katana-shaped blade. Previously, Hinata used a rapier that also had the ability to cut the sides, but was slightly thicker, with very little difference in weight.

There is not much difference in terms of weight and inertial control, but when using the fence technique it is easier to use than a wide sword.

The performance is the same or higher.

The new saint spirit armor that was copied and analyzed with the abilities of the demon lord, now had a higher level of performance than before.

In short, Hinata could use the equipment as if she was born in it.

A single cut sliced open Yuuki's cheeks as he avoided the flash of the sword with a clown expression

A red line, with a drop of blood flowing out.

The expression on Yuuki's face had disappeared. As he looked down on his opponent, his humorous attitude did not change.

「Hee ..... Staggering surprise. I think I'm really avoiding that. Hinata what happened? In a short time your strength has increased. When the parasite attaches to you, your strength grows like any other ordinary person. 」

Although she can lie, Yuuki reveals that she can measure the strength of the target that she is infected with the parasite.

That's in Hinata's prediction. The problem is how close Yuuki is to gaining the power known as the "egg hero".

As the Grandmaster of the Freedom Association, his abilities would naturally be high. He was above the S-Rank adventurers.

Previously, when the holy church collaborated together with the Freedom Association to subdue the evil dragon on the united front, Hinata had witnessed a glimpse of Yuuki's power.

Without relying on skill, he dealt the final blow to the evil dragon with his own physical strength. Yuuki himself claimed that the nature of his tough body was the only thing he inherited in this world.

It would be dangerous to believe that. There was no doubt he had other hidden abilities.

Moreover, was he controlled by the Demon King Kazalim? Not like him.

Although there was a reasonable possibility that he had obtained controlling abilities from Demon King Kazarim, Hinata felt the need to confirm the relationship between the two.

If he was actually manipulated by the Demon King known as the "Magic King", he wanted to help. He really hoped that he was actually being manipulated.

Therefore, Hinata decided to conduct a final examination just in case.

「Yuuki, were you manipulated by Kazalim?”

Or ..... is the person who spoke to me at this time the "Chaos Lord" Kazarim? 」

In response, an evil grin appeared on Yuuki's face while nodding.

「Eh? Ah, Ahahah. Right or not?

I, no, we are Kazarim! … Just kidding.

Ahahaha, really, you really are an interesting Hinata. 」

Yuuki continued to laugh out loud as if something funny was said. His laughter echoed for a moment.

Although that attitude was filled with gaps, he had no intention of attacking. It was extremely distorted, and gave Hinata a bad premonition.

While continuing to stare at the laughing Yuuki, he sent Fritz a signal.

Fritz also equipped his spirit armor, and his battle preparations were complete.

In response to Hinata's signal, she gets into a position to protect the children.

The children also sense Yuuki's strange demeanor as they huddle around Alice protectively. Even if they cannot fully understand the situation very well, they can still understand that they are used to it. Hinata was only happy that they were not so sad to cry or try to attack her.

There were no signs among the children that they had been brainwashed, and even if they were Fritz, they could still cope.

The children go in Fritz's care, Hinata focuses on Yuuki.

Suddenly, Yuuki stopped laughing and,

"Hey? Why do you think I'm on the same level as that little fry type? 」

With her usual expressionless face, she asked Hinata again.

Without waiting for a reply,

「When I was summoned to this world, I wondered in my spiritual body when the worm (Kazarim) came crawling to me.

When I was in the spirit world, he said some

the important thing for yourself. I don't remember any of that because I'm not interested.

By the way, if I remember correctly, my proclaimed right hand, Kagali, assimilated it.

Because I was interested in his ability, I took it.

He really wanted to serve me, so I let him live.

With his wealth of knowledge, he is useful in his own way. 」

Miss . Kagaris

He is the Second-in-Command Freedom Association.

She's beautiful with elf blood on her veins.

Hinata remembered that when she came to this world, she had taken care of him.

An archmage aiming at achieving the truth, he was someone who offered the highest weapons in the Freedom Association.

The woman, Kagari, can be considered Yuuki's perfect henchman because she assimilated with Kazarim rather than being brainwashed.

In fact,

These words confirmed that Yuuki and Kazarim had made contact, he was even able to show that he lost the ability of his minion, Kazarim.

However, in the end it is if you believe in Yuuki.

Hinata has determined that Yuuki's words are not lies. Even when considering the various possibilities, there is not much benefit in lying.

That meant, worrying about Yuuki's consciousness, and worrying about returning him to his normal state was useless.

That was Yuuki's intention from the beginning, and we were all part of the plot.

"……Is it so . That means, that kind demeanor, and that kind of smile …

all that and everything you say is just acting? 」

「Ah, so. I understand now .

In other words, you want to help because you think I was manipulated by Kazarim. Really it?

Very bad! That doesn't make sense . I did the manipulation. Only I manipulated 」

Yuuki answered Hinata's question with ridicule.

Considering everything that happened, it was as if Yuuki was happy to see Hinata suffer.

As if he was having fun, his mouth was curling coldly.

Hinata acquires the "Hero Egg" after she overcomes deception and lies, and after she sees all the anomalies, gains the ability "Eye of truth".

Even when looking at it through these eyes, no lies were detected in Yuuki's words. He just reveals the facts.

There is little room to speak, concluded Hinata.

「Yuuki .... last question. What is your purpose in calling?

Why are you manipulating Clayman and causing upheaval with the orc lord, then causing a war between the Church and Tempest?

Do you understand this throws the world into chaos !? 」

「Aha. Ahahaha. You say interesting things.

The last one, the last one? That's right, it's the end for you.

All right, I'll tell you.

That's because it's interesting, that's the only reason.

What other reasons might there be, really?

I intend to completely unite the world as one.

Angels, Spirits, Satan, I want to rule them all.

Unfortunately, is it possible to rule the world with my current abilities?

That's why I have to work hard and hard. 」

Yuuki answered in response to Hinata's question.

Rather than conquest of the world, he called it domination. As absolute ruler, Yuuki will declare his rule.

The reason was something more abnormal than Hinata.

World Domination .. is impossible. Didn't his common sense tell him that no matter how amazing he was, he wouldn't be able to dominate the entire world?

This guy is crazy! Hinata began to feel an unpleasant chill on her back.

Deep in her trembling heart, Hinata realized that she was feeling fear.

This was not because of his strength and type, but rather his serious attitude in declaring his terrible attempt at ruling the world.

Then,

Kotsun Kotsun Kotsun ……

The sound of walking echoed in the corridor.

A holy presence unlike Hinata ever felt.

However, that mysterious presence felt unnatural due to the lack of color and feeling, as well as the direction that was not tuned.

「Ah, he finally came.

Unfortunately for you Hinata, there is no more chance of victory for you.

Between you and me, you can kill me.

As expected, you can't stop me.

This, is a game. Simple game.

I want to rule the world, and the world is trying to prevent it.

For my victory, I gave everything.

You guys also have to give everything to stop me, right?

You have ignored it, that's why you lost. 」

At the same time as Yuuki finished speaking, a door from the side of the corridor opened, and a girl entered.

With long black hair gathered on the back of his head, he was clad in a fully black light equipment.

A more compact version of Hinata's own holy armor that does not in any way hinder movement.

A very pretty face.

He placed one hand on the sword hanging below his waist.

The girl walked quietly.

This is the "true hero", known as the strongest.

His eyes had no gleam as they were enveloped in pitch darkness, his entire body emitting an inviolable holy aura.

An incredible aura began to suppress Hinata and the children.

Yuuki didn't even need a trick at the beginning.

There was no need to manipulate children, his fighting ability was much greater than Hinata, this was his trap.

「What is it ... Hero ……. ? Why, is there a hero here ……? 」

Behind Hinata, Fritz muttered.

For that word,

「Ah, Clayman has benefits in the end.

Although I want him to rise as a true demon king to make it as a pawn, I already have Kazalim.

Instead, I asked him to gather all the demon lords.

In this way, the Luminas guarding the "sleeping hero" would not exist.

You may not, but did you know Luminas, who manipulated the "hero" was the true ruler of the Holy Church of the Ruberius?

I decided to take it from Luminas to use it efficiently.

Thanks to all your efforts, I now have complete control over the hero.

It's actually impossible to dominate children in such a way, you know. You don't worry about anything.

But I have to say, you're worried watching is fun! 」

Yuuki was happily open.

Hinata also understood that there were no lies in her speech, and she felt the world disappear before her

That means, Yuuki had just said the demon lord Luminas was the real ruler of the Church.

If so, the Holy Kingdom of Ruberius had its capital ruled by a demon king.

It was no wonder why the Holy Empire of Ruberius also had such an unnatural feeling about the presence of monsters.

So the system of domination built up over hundreds of thousands of years, the teaching of the church, is full of lies.

(It means ..... I was used not only by Yuuki, but also by the demon lord ..).

However, it was not limited to just Hinata.

Those who belonged to the Holy Empire of the Ruberius and the Western Church, were all used.

Yuuki continued to talk to Hinata who was wrapped up in despair.

「Please help me and consider this for a moment: don't you want to join me Hinata?

It looks like you've earned "the Hero's Egg," and can even wake him up.

The improvement of our team is always welcome.

Considering we are from the same country, I will even make you an executive. How about that? 」

「Don't mess with me! like you don't deserve to be forgiven.

Here and now, I'll punish you for your sins! 」

Rejecting Yuuki's invitation, he clasped his sword.

However, contrary to his strong proclamation, a reverse signal was sent to the fritz.

This result was far worse than one could imagine.

Hinata would make him stand, while Fritz would secure the escape route. No matter the cost.

The opponent's strength was far above their strength and this was the best he could get.

「Can't say I hope you say otherwise …

Well, I talked for a second, didn't I?

You know, revealing secrets about behind-the-scenes action when confronted as a mastermind?

I've always wanted to try it once, it's beautiful and fun.

Then, after uncovering all of this, didn't the puppeteer usually lose?

Wondering if I'm flying a flag?

I have just set up and hoisted a big flag, so try your best to beat me.

Perhaps you might be able to rise as a hero and defeat us? 」

These were the last words exchanged between Hinata and Yuuki.

What followed was a battle.
