Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 139: The Whole Story of the Council

Yesterday's cake was delicious. Therefore, I will visit again to recover my tired mind after such a tiring conference. As expected of the royal capital of the Ingrasia Kingdom where the Headquarters of the Freedom Association was located. Yuuki really did a good job. He's looking for a good job. "World Travelers" and protect them. Not only people with high abilities but those with knowledge and those who are familiar with technology as well. Since I was mainly obsessed with food, I was able to learn something from this. To be honest, there was no satisfaction in eating at the border village level. Modern Japan is too fancy. Only one potato is boiled every day and the soup is bland made of bitter grass. Eating like that is the norm. Since salt is a high-class item, foods that have a taste are very valuable. Even bread, because it is eaten when it is difficult, will be nothing more than a difficulty. To try and improve a food it is very natural action, but whether it is possible or not is a different matter. Just like with me, an image formed with knowledge from the previous world might not be properly conveyed to the other party. It is certain that there will be a lot of trial and error between the "World Travelers" with common sense and other parties. I can estimate that much. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to eat cake, even in this world Although the reason I came to the capital of the Ingrasia kingdom was to participate in the Council conference, the, I believe this issue can be more important than that. The goal today was to negotiate with the shopkeeper to see if he would share the recipe. Shuna said she could make identical cakes, but it would take several months of research to make one at the same level. I greet Kirsch-san, [1] the shopkeeper. I wanted to ask him to teach Shuna how to make it. The recipe might be secret, but even if it was useless, I kept asking him.

「Aah? You want to learn how to make my cake? Do you think valuable recipes can be taught easily to others?! I'm glad you liked the cake, but it was made with the efforts of many people.」

Oh well, that's a natural reaction. There were similar shops in many places in this city, but after I ate and compared them to each other, only these stores actually dealt.

It is certain that other stores simply imitate this store. This shopkeeper could also be another "World Traveler. 「Can you do something about it?」

Shuna asked politely while bowing her head. It was a subtle gesture that put both of her hands together and bent at the waist beautifully, luring all who saw her. 「. Me, I will not fall into such teasing techniques! But, I will think about it, if you can make a dish that can satisfy me, everything is fine. 」

Oops. It seems that Shuna managed to get a compromise. I was prepared to have to research it in a worst case scenario, but Shuna's dishes were first class. Maybe it went well. 「Shuna-san's chat. Cook as you please and end this! Make that arrogant shopkeeper with the highest dish!! 「Yes. I understand!"

Shuna motivated.

The cake had ignited the fire in Shuna's spirit. Shuna borrowed the kitchen and prepared the highest dish. It was Tamagoyaki [2]. The highest dish, which can make one understand the skill of the cook, is Tamagoyaki. Kirsch-san looked at the given plate and gulped, he swallowed his saliva. Without saying anything, with a fork, he stuffed a mouthful of Tamagoyaki into his mouth. "Lzat!!"

That was one blow. With Shuna's incredible strength, Kirsch-san acknowledged Shuna.

"Thank you very much"

A dazzling smile floated on Shuna's face.

Everything is over. When that smile pierced his heart, Kirsch-san seemed to fall completely. 「Tch. That can't help! It's a special occasion, okay? 」

The muscular Ossan responded to Shuna with a timid smile.

Honestly, I can only say he acted dere-dere [3]. Oh well, how else, Shuna's pale pink hair suits her, and she's a pretty girl. Kirsch began teaching Shuna how to make cakes in the kitchen. Bosimaru and I ordered a drink similar to coffee from Officer, and thought about the conference earlier while waiting for Shuna.

………

……

…

When I arrived at the meeting hall where the conference was held, several members of the Council came to greet me. I heard many stories from people who came to visit the Tournament, it seems like they want to tie up diplomatic relations with me. I consider that future attraction and social interaction with them.

「Ahahaha. Rimuru-dono, even though you are called the Demon King, aren't you very friendly! 」My Geez, you're absolutely right. From now on, please call me as you wish. By the way, I hear you produce a lot of interesting stuff? Will you allow our country to handle those things? 」「 Oh, about that. We feel the same. We also look forward to your cooperation. Of course, the corresponding wage will be ―― say more than this will be tasteless, right

Ah, ja. What should I call ... this feeling of speechlessness?

It's not even rude anymore! I believe the other party might be a noble, it might be a failure for me to act decently. It seems they misunderstood my response. Yeah, it's troublesome. Even if I did not specifically distribute the goods to these people, it could still be distributed by the ―― guild as an organization under the Arbitration committee. 「Ah, so yes. Please take care of me at that time 」

Let's start with a meaningless conversation juggling strategy.

This is a conversation between adults. It was a talk about "If you want to buy something, come buy it yourself!" I rejected the disrespectful Councilman with a smile and left the place after I finished giving a light greeting. Amid the long talks, another committee of members also approached. Although my mood has been shattered since morning, I persevered because I might be able to ask for something here, and enter the meeting place.

And then the conference started .. ever since then it was a real hell. At the last meeting, the agenda that Hinata proposed was to invoke our cooperation. I heard it from him. The defense will be entrusted to our country, and a constant amount of money will be paid. Given that the other party will definitely use us, we will also use the other party. Well, we're the same in this. After all we were on the Imperial invasion route. If war were to occur, it was natural for the back to work together. Also, if they pay the defense fee, of course I will accept it. I have no reason to refuse.

And then there's the real problem. The purpose of participating in this conference is to make them master their advantages. In other words, I will show off the monster power and strong military power in my possession. Every country will pay us their defense budget, and we will be used for good. However, in reality each country had great military power, its size allowed each country to ignore the Tempest. The test has been recognized as a state. Since we aim for co-existence and shared prosperity with human society, we should be hesitant to hold the role of defense forces for the Confederacy. In addition, by providing support it will be possible to demonstrate our military strength to the close scrutiny of many countries. . It was a strategy that killed two birds with one stone. Hinata says that she also aims for this. The soldiers under the direct control of the committee only included a few Holy Knights. Therefore, by building a headquarters for us, they can entrust emergency response to us. I agreed to the plan, even if I was used by others, I also intended to profit from them.

How did things get like this? The table I kicked floated in the air and when it fell, I crumbled into a very small piece with my heel. I crossed my legs, sat on the chair arrogantly, and glared at the members of the Council. They looked at me in surprise and I sighed in my mind. No, I had endured it at first. Even as an adult, I was considered someone with a heart wider than the sea. I can even boast that this is as famous as the stories of my recent activities. As someone called the embodiment of patience, dealing with Milim's selfishness was my specialty. Since I have a broad heart, a broad heart, I can even laugh and forgive Milim's selfishness. But …

What about the ossans committee [4] and their selfishness is covered with greed that has no charm? The answer to that was a huge table that was shattered before their eyes. 「Ah, y'all Are you making fun of me? Say whatever you want, am I your servant? Uh uh? Don't think I don't know even if I keep quiet! 」

In the silent conference room, my voice sounded quietly.

I didn't scream but my voice seemed to scare the Council members' minds. I also did not use 『King Haki Satan』. Because, if I use it on humans, the best case is that they panic, and the worst case is that they go crazy and die in madness. A series of brainwashing can be used, but all possible friendships with humans will vanish if I use them. I have no hobby of spending time with unattractive dolls who can only answer YES for the rest of her life. In other words, I was just angry and broke the table this time, it was just a normal bullying tactic. But the effect is still good. 「No, no, Rimuru-dono. We do not say it with such intent ..」

In the first place, it was that. To greet someone of higher standing and a king of the country with "Dono". Even if we hold the status of a country, they only treat me like the king of a vassal state, not as an equal state. I'm sure these people look down on monsters. And the contents of the discussion some time ago .. Geez, share the blueprint for the magic carriage, grant the right to the joint management of the labyrinth, please, hand over taxes from people who live in satellite cities and are not Tempest residents. I am the Demon King, for the sake of Gods! Therefore, I hope to be treated with respect, yet they only act in a very unreasonable manner. Even if they are nobles representing their country, my generous heart has reached its limit. No, I would say that Yuuki is a pretty clever fox if he could lead such a tanukis with his nose. That's not possible for me.

"Notifications. Therefore, I said that I will be the party representing him》

Raphael seemed to be saying something but it was probably just my imagination. Raphael-san who only has skills should not be able to infiltrate freely to that extent. I was too angry and seemed to have heard auditory hallucinations. But, it was good because it allowed me to calm down a bit.

「Eh? Then, what kind of intention are you trying to convey? Did you tell me to work like a transport horse when you were slaves? 」「 T, no! That was unthinkable! We have no such intention .. 」

I shifted my focus to the Council members who had spoken in panic, and suddenly I had a strange feeling. The colleague's eyes were facing the inside of the conference room door. As I listened carefully, I heard a few footsteps. Apparently, he seemed to be calling the guards. When I noticed, the door opened and several soldiers and a big man entered.

「Oh oh, very energetic. Are you an idiot calling yourself a Demon King? But, you only brought three servants, aren't you bragging too much? You idiot! If I hit you and put you under my thumb, you monsters will be in my merciful hands! 」

The big man immediately barked loudly as he entered. Whahuh? You're gonna beat me up and make me your servant? What is this guy talking about? Am I being stupid? I don't really understand what this guy is saying. "Soluble. This big man (Stupid), said that he would win against the master and turn you into a henchman》

I can understand that! If described one-on-one with a serious look, I would be completely stupid.

「Oi ….. Is this the assembly consensus?」

In response to a question asked by my tired self, I,

"Are you an idiot? Sure was! Or, are you scared? If you lower and lick my shoes now, I'm not going to make you feel any pain. 」

The big man replied with a vulgar laugh.

But among the members of the Council there are some who are frightened and confused, 「I did not hear this. What's this about? 」「 Who instigated this? 」「 The soldier was wearing an armor inscribed with the emblem of the Ingrasia royal family. That means, this is the incitement of Ingrasia? 」

I could hear such responses from clearly unrelated people, confused people and people who had made quiet judgments. Does that mean that this is not a decision by the assembly, it is just a rash display of power? Oh well, it looks like Hinata doesn't know about this, and it's definitely not a unanimous decision either. I make such judgments. 「Oi, do not log in without permission. The meeting hall of the Council is in the middle of the conference now. You guys, this is not the behavior of being a soldier」

Hinata calmly asked the big man and his group to leave.

「Hahaha, Hinata-dono. Its alright. I'm the one who called them. This is to teach that law breaking lesson 」「 Gavan-dono [7], have you lost your mind? Although I have not heard of this before ……. Or rather, didn't you hand over the authority of the Council's decision to me? 」

Hinata's voice lowered and became cold. Ah, he looked very seriously angry. I think it must be because of that stupid judgment.

「Silence, woman. Uh? I don't know if you are the former leader of the Holy Knights or what, but I am the leader of the Order of the Ingrasia Knight Guards, Reiner-sama [8] is not your enemy.

Didn't you wet yourself with a runaway piss after being defeated by that weak Demon King? Right, oh Holy Knight Chief-sama. After all, that position is also just a decoration that you obtained after seducing a like-minded cardinal . [9] Even if a little chick were to fight you, it would be a bad and boring fight. Not having the resolution to kill the Demon King, that was ridiculous! But yeah .. Your appearance is not too bad. If you want to be my woman, it's okay for me to love you as my beloved concubine 」Ah, this person is dead meat. Hinata's expression did not change. Her cold and beautiful face was as usual. However, in contrast to his cold outer appearance, within him he looked raging like magma. 「Whoa, Reiner-kyou [10]. Isn't that a bit vulgar? Still, I am also interested in the Demon King. Hogging it won't be good. Thas right. I forgot to mention it, but this Sir Reiner is an A rank Adventurer who can also defeat Her. He is stronger than all of you, no matter how many of you there are. "Don't get cocky when you have little power." Suddenly, as announced in a loud, cold voice to describe the cold running down my back. That's repulsive. This Ossan can even provoke me who is difficult to provoke. Very bad talent.

「――Oi, all of you .. What is it, the decision of the Kingdom of Ingrasia?」

Hinata asked in a calm voice that did not make you feel her anger.

「Fufu, that's right. Since the Council, it has passed its decision. Well, even though the voting will start now. 」

「Elric-ouji [11] ――. Is this on your impulse? 」「 True, Hinata. You must sit 」

Prince …..? This idiot, isn't it, this prince, is the mastermind behind this? He seemed to be the prince of the Ingrasia Kingdom, but this fellow seemed to somehow incite some members of the Council. 「Then, let's choose. I will defeat the Demon King in this place and make him our servant. Anyone who agrees, stand up!」

The prince's voice had resounded loudly, and the majority of the Council members stood up, wearing disgusting smiles. It seemed that they had been communicating secretly and discussing. The financial situation of each country, the response of the royal family, as well as the records of the process in the respective assemblies of the country and so on, I have Souei investigate everything with ama. However, I do not think that the members of the Board will be bribed individually. It was my failure not to expect such a possibility.

"Notifications. No, there's no problem. This is as expected.》 Eh? In hope? I felt like seeing the illusion of Raphael growing a dark smile.

「Rimuru-sama, this」

Souei gave me some account books. Ah ..... This is a secret account. Is it really within expectations? Before anyone knew it, I had already secured an account book listing bribes and so on from the members of the Council who were colluding. This is a less blundering performance.

The number of books of accounts corresponds to the number of members of the Council who stood at the behest of Prince Elric. This is nothing but a joke because I've obtained unshakable evidence. The remaining Board members who have not stood up, confusedly asked the others , 「I did not hear this!」 「Although His Eminence Rimuru specifically came here alone, this treatment will be a problem!」 「Something like this should not be allowed. For what reason is there a Council if there is no justice! 」

They are angry and offended. Now, the sitting members of the Council do not appear to be flexible or have a fair disposition. I know that because they seem to call me in a proper way.

It is uncertain whether the country represented by the Council members is honest or not, but I think I'm more likely to trust them than the countries that send members of the Council who commit abuses with unacceptable behavior. After all, since the members of the Council are representatives of a country , then the person represents the country.

「Vote out. Since it exceeded the majority, the hall had approved this agenda! 」

Excited by their success, Prince Elric declared that out loud. The Board members who followed applauded. The remaining Board members sat hanging their heads, while Hinata watched the joke with cold eyes. Since carrying a weapon was not allowed he was unarmed, yet if he held a sword now, he would grip the hilt firmly.

「Well now permission has been granted, choose whether you want to lick my shoes or feel pain」

A fool named Reiner stood in front of me and said that. Hinata. He seems to be calculating how to move depending on my response.

All right then. 「First, I want to confirm something. Is that okay?"

「Aah? Whatisit? 「No, your decision. Would it be okay if I took this as a state decision? 」「 Hha! Are you an idiot? Such a thing now, what happened— Shuna stood up, took out a folding fan and brandished it. Merely, Reiner who was in the middle of the conversation was sent flying. He curled up after hitting a wall, knocking down chairs and tables in the process.

「I have survived, listening to all this since a while ago ….

Yo, you, to Rimuru-sama who we respect and love, how disrespectful ….. 」Shuna approached Reiner quietly. It seems like I'm not the only one angry. Or rather, when someone else exploded, I quickly calmed down. When I looked around, my eyes caught Hinata's eyes, did she also calm down? I feel that we can communicate with our eyes.

"Junk. I'm not gonna kill you so soon. If I'm not wrong, you say that you are A rank. I'll let you be serious. Now, stand up and come to me at

He directed the folding fan at Reiner, and Shuna sent him a sharp glare.

「Re-Reiner! What do you want !? Hurry up and shut up that brash woman. You must also defeat that Demon Lord. No time to play around! 」

Prince Elric who could not understand the situation, ordered Reiner to attack. But, Reiner did not move in the slightest.

「Did you not come? Then I will- 」

When Shuna was about to take one step,

「Hai, hi & _____」!

Reiner trembled in fear while holding his head with both hands. From his crotch, fluid billows out. Well, did he just wet himself? I was so surprised that I couldn't find the words to say. 「Shuna, pull」

Shuna nodded at my order and she returned to her position behind me. Reiner began to cry like a child, teary-eyed while trembling in fear. The match is over. His opponent is too absurd.

「Then, that Elric? You fight with me, but what will you do from now on?

You too, your country seems to agree to this as well. The same offense, is it okay? Everyone's faces turned pale and their heads hung as I asked them with a smile. The match has been decided. The reason these fools are missing is because they think that a little chick can defeat the Demon King. No, the Ingrasia Kingdom did not restrict the Great Jura Forest. Therefore they do not know the threat of monsters. The Council members who agreed to the treaty this time came from small states belonging to the Ingrasia group. The intentions of the country and the intentions of the Council members were different, but their contempt for monsters might be the same. After all, nobles are beings who only think of themselves. Oh well, even though it seems like someone has changed with the country between them. It would be better for me to have a second thought before getting along with the country. Since I only looked at the documents and handled them non-seriously, it might be better for me to review them later. After all, the important agenda was approved and accepted by the Council members after I threatened them.

Military cooperation with Tempest.1. Internal Passage Permit for Tempest.1 soldiers. Official participation in the Council of the Confederation of Tempest.

Relocation of the headquarters of the Confederate Council to Tempest.1. Relocation of the headquarters of the Freedom Arbitration Committee to Tempest. Forcefully making them sign it, everything passed unhindered. With unanimous consent. Checking them, and using tricks is not something that suits me. As a result, I only controlled them using physical strength, and all the problems were solved . The person who threw the punch was not me, so I was satisfied as it seemed to prove my open mind. So, the meeting ended without any problems, and we left the meeting room.

………

……

…

Oh well, this is the whole story. Prince Elric, Ossan named Gavan who was a minister of Ingrasia, and a council member as well. They were astonished, they looked frightened by the seriousness of the matter, but they reaped what they sowed. Naturally, I gave an order to Souei when the conference ended. I have ordered him to submit an account book to each of their countries. With this, those who were rude and idiots would be eliminated. Even if they were forgiven, they would be fired, it could be said that it was a dead end for them. And also, the Kingdom of Ingrasia.

Due to the ease of transportation, the country has become a center of peace for many countries. Although the technology is amazing, it does not mean that the productivity is high. The level of culture was high, but it was nothing more than a reproduction by Yuuki so that the "Other World" could live comfortably. As important institutions such as councils and committees, would move on, his role as the center of many countries had come to an end. If they did nothing, as if, they would definitely start to decline. In fact it was a natural consequence, so there was no need for me to feel bad. 「Oh well, Tempest being the center, even I approved it」

Those are Hinata's words. If he said that, it was clear what would happen to the Ingrasia Kingdom. Hinata said nothing. On this matter, Hinata's decision was final. He quickly returned and began preparing for the relocation. Well, Hinata might be angrier than I am. I thought about it while drinking pseudo-coffee.

「Or more precisely, I can have a good experience this time」 「N?」 「No, I'm too angry too, I might not understand what happened because I went berserk too much. If Shuna moves even a little slower , all the humans in the room will burn to nothingness 」

Boo [12]! So I spray the coffee I drink.

I have admired Benimaru since he became an adult. I thought he had been quiet, but he had just lost control of himself in anger. I felt that I had lost that admiration. Or rather, it is dangerous. I will be an enemy of mankind in the event of a mass slaughter in that place. 「Oioi, you really have to prevent that!?」 「Hahaha, it was just a joke. I'm not serious! 」

Although Benimaru has tried to deceive me with a refreshing smile, I will not be fooled. This guy is very serious. For the next conference, I think it is necessary to carefully consider the personnel I bring. Then,

「Rimuru-sama, I did it! Kirsch-tenchou [13] decided to come to Tempest!」

Shuna came back, and reported to me with a full smile.

「Because I heard that he will close the store and enter the retirement of ――, He seems willing to come when I invited him!」 「Serious?」 「I'm serious!」 Greatable. With this, as long as I prepare the sugar, eating the cake every day is no longer a dream.

No, as long as there are ingredients, can I make any kind of cake ?! 「Excellent, as expected of Shuna!」

When I praised her, Shuna nodded with a smile. This time Shuna played a very active role. This contrasts sharply with a disappointing secretary. If it was a disappointing secretary, even when leaving easily he might kill Reiner. And then after using a skillful trick, it would probably be something terrible. Oh well, it's not limited to Shion, but including me as well.

This time, thanks to Shuna, the negotiations were easily completed. But, his greatest achievement was that he was able to persuade that stubborn Oyaji [14]. I had asked him earnestly before, but he did not move at all. A good job.

Thus the conference ended safely as well, and we returned home to Tempest. Things have happened, but the biggest result, needless to say, is that cakes will now be included as desserts every day. Guro Comments They are Idiots to think that they can make our holy slime their henchmen (Actually, it's Ya-man). And I learned that Cake is more important than diplomatic relations etc. See you in the next chapter!
