Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 141: The Unexpected Guest

I saw the katana and was fascinated by it. It wasn't an unusual Tachi. It's not too small or too big. Not too big to be called achidachi, it was just an ordinary sword. It was more curved than the Uchigatana [1], and gave off an elegant feeling. It was Kurobee's greatest masterpiece. It could even be called a Divine Katana, an excellent item according to the class classification of Myths (Gods). It was the best katana forged with only transcendental mythical grade raw materials. Although just born ―― has just been made, the performance is amazing. Since his compatibility with me was also very good, it seemed possible for me to immediately use his full strength. Its transcendental property does not mean it cannot develop . It has the ability to repair itself even if it deteriorates or breaks down. Even if it was in its pure state, without attributes, it was a legend grade item. The lack of attributes is also not a problem because I can give it away. Basically, it could be said that I have obtained a Myth (God) class weapon. 「Ah, as expected, katana it cool――」

I muttered while staring at her beautiful sword pattern [2]. I have a feeling of wanting to admire the craftsmanship here forever.

At that moment, I heard a knock on the door. I was relaxed and lazy in the office, but it seemed to be a guest. I'm back to human form,

"Please enter"

I summon. The door opened and Shuna came in. Bending on me, he ….

「Rimuru-sama, this is a guest. She introduces herself as Dino, is she an acquaintance of Rimuru-sama? 」「 Dino? Ah, he is one of the Demon Lords. I wonder why he came here? 」「 Demon King? Should I call brothers and gather an army? 」」 No, no need. Just in case the situation turns into a battle, please send Benimaru and Shion alone. Well, his worries aren't necessary. Might as well. I think he just came to play 」

I said and left my seat. I don't think there's any need to worry. I feel that Dino previously mentioned that he wanted to come to play or something.

「Awessed. Then, in this way 」

When Shuna nodded, she led me to the living room. It's a matter of that there are many rooms. We use them correctly according to the other party. The luxurious rooms were for merchants and nobles. The simple and resolute room was for powerful monsters and suspicious people. This is because there will be a huge loss in damage if they act hard inside the luxury of the rooms.

When I entered the room after Shuna, I saw Dino's disheveled appearance. He's relaxing on the couch.

「Yo, long time no see. How's it going? 」

He watched me and greeted me while lying on his back. Shuna was angry with that answer and sent a glance, but she bowed without saying anything and left the room. Most likely he went to prepare tea. 「Ah, I'm fine. Yeah …. But I can't be carefree, because there are some problems. 」

I answered while sitting on the chair opposite her. I saw Dino's performance. She hasn't changed since the last time I met her, she still has a carefree atmosphere.

「What, is there a problem? Looks like a bother 」「 Well. It didn't go so easily. So, for what reason did you come here? 」「 Uh? As I said, I just came to play 」Shuna entered the room after she prepared tea and cake. In the room wrapped in silence Shuna set the table as if nothing was wrong. When he finished, he bowed and left the room. He's a professional. I sipped the tea once and paid more attention to Dino.Did she notice it …

「No, actually, I was kicked out of Dagruel's place. So, when I considered what I should do, I remembered about this place (Tempest), where his sons were cared for. Therefore, I want you to take care of me as well! 」「 No, no good 」

「――Eh?」 「Eh?」

Silence once again descended on the room. No matter how you say it, we're acquaintances, but I don't think it's a good idea to support a suspicious looking man like him. I'm sure that this guy is the type who will say things like 「I don't want work-degozaru!」 [3].

「Please wait a minute. Thenwhat? "Go die on the road! [4]" like that? 」

「No, go to work」 「Don't say anything unreasonable! I hold the aesthetics not working. For the past 100 years, I have never earned any money myself, so I also have no money for food and drinks! 」「 Oh, really .. Really amazing. Go home after you eat it 」Disregarding Dino's words, I extend the cake with my hand. The snack [5] served with tea is Cream Puff [6]. Dangerous. Isn't it impossible to get bored with this? Dino also took the Puff Cream and ate it.

"I knew. Please make me a citizen of this country as well. There would be no regrets if I could eat delicious things like this every day. Rimuru, there is no Rimuru-sama. Please, order, I'm anything! 」

He started spouting such absurd things. I have no intention of hiring you …

「Really, even if you say we are acquaintances, I only met once. What is your real destination?」

I asked him seriously while finishing Cream Puff and drinking his tea .ino shrugged, his cold atmosphere disappeared, and then he replied.

「Actually, Guy said [7] that it seems like I can be well cared for in this country. He didn't tell me why, because he was selfish. If I disobey, it will be troublesome, and it is true that I was expelled from Dagruel's place. Since it was also troublesome to think, that was the reason I came here 」「 Guy, that Redhead, [8] said so? 」「 That's right. The Red Hair 」Hmmm. The atmosphere looks honest. It's probably serious what Guy said. 「Ah, I remember. I have a letter from Guy 」

Saying so, Dino took out a letter and handed it to me. Stamps and aura. Surely, I felt the aura of Guy Crimson. The letter contained only a few words, "Please take care of Dino".

「What?」

So, I nodded at Dino and pondered a little. It's troublesome, but it'll be problematic if I antagonize Guy. Until I settle matters with the Empire and Yuuki, my hands are tied. It doesn't seem like a big deal if it's just Dino. It would be good for me to accept it. However, if he was only here to play, it might not be good to invite such a person. Then, I suddenly remembered something. This person does not seem to be a match for Ramiris.Ramiris is currently researching and developing something using the facilities I have prepared in a room inside his labyrinth. I would sometimes show my face in the Joint Development room and do various exchanges of opinions. Right now, I have become an idol in the development space, and my popularity is high. Ramiris wants an assistant. Since every task was handled by Beretta, it seemed like she was lacking a hand. Let's make Dino Ramiris' assistant.

「OK, I understand, but will you accept the job?」 「What do you say!?」 Well Oh well, even though I call it a job. I'd like you to be Ramiris' assistant. That person did so very happily, if possible I would like to participate as well. When I have time, I will help, but since I am a bit busy now .. Oh well, let's not think too hard. Anyway, it's good if you do.. 「Mm, mm. I've understood. What detail? 」「 N? Ah, quite simple. I think you just need to follow Ramiris' instructions. 」

Oh well, I don't think an amateur could make it as a research and development assistant. Make things, and assist in data collection. That's probably as far as his job is. The renovation plan for Beretta that I had been thinking about since before was done, and I had remodeled it together with Ramiris. I have received a request from Ramiris after the ward about the implementation of this facility, and I have prepared a large number of Cultural Capsules [9] and installed them. What is a Culture Capsule? I used it when I was changing Beretta. It was a container of high-density glass that could breed [10] monsters and others inside.

With the Magic Power Injection port attached to it, it was possible to adjust the concentration of magic power injected into it. Inside the container it was full of Magic Water ―― water from the vast water reserve I had inside my greedy stomach which changed due to the concentration of magic power ―― System fill the container with magic power when the concentration is low and keep it at a constant level. As usual our relationship was close, so it was fun. By the way, the last time I was asked to prepare 1,000 Culture Capsules and set them up. Although he has not answered when I asked him why he needs so great a quantity, but he said …

「Even I want to work you know! Please, because it will definitely be useful! 」

So, I couldn't resist it when she asked with watery eyes. If I have something to say, I would also like to help Ramiris. Besides, well, Ramiris is an idiot, but his head is nice. He seems to be flawless in terms of Spirit Techniques, and he has studied Magic Techniques many times I have visited him. Since he had lived a long time he had studied the laws of physics. It was unexpected, but he had the qualifications of a researcher. Although I said that, the knowledgeable Ramiris was helpful, I believe there is no need to think about it. Besides, even though I was asked to make various things, it was fun to see how it turned out later. I haven't visited him recently because I'm busy. This is a good time. I will look at the situation while guiding Dino.

「Hey, why is magic power so thick here?」 「Ah, that's because this is Veldora-san's room. He'll get angry if you touch the things in his room as you like, so please don't touch them without his permission. 」「 Haa? Does Veldora live here!? I don't think you guys are just acquaintances, but living in such a place .. That explains why his reaction disappeared so suddenly 」「 Ah, his reaction has disappeared … I think it's because he learned how to control his magic power. Earlier the man let out a tantrum of aura, and it seemed to also give off magic power. Since it was so bad to have in the country we planned and where people would stay, he trained to the point that he could control it 」「 Haaa? That veldora? Veldora who wandered selfishly at her own convenience and summoned the ruler of the Great Jurassic Forest? Or rather, I can't even feel his aura because he is suppressing it!? 」「 Uh? Ah, she's not selfish, you can ask her to do almost anything, you know? About the aura, while it was great, it seemed like it was because he was doing his best to practice. Even ... If we talk about selfish people, then it will be MiIlim

Since Milim isn't here, I might say what I really think of him. That Milim didn't lower his head, even to Frey. He is a creature that is difficult for anyone to face. In any case, Dino seems to have received a surprise, and when I revealed the unsettling story we received from Milim recently, we entered the laboratory. He doesn't seem to have heard half of the story, but I don't really care because it's just grumbling. Well, observing the inside, Veldora helps Ramiris. As usual, Ramiris pushed someone around, huh? What a hardworking dragon. Although she complained, she finally helped him. Veldora suddenly turned gentle to Ramiris. Is this a bad influence from him calling him Shishou? Even Bester, who participated in the joint research after he entrusted the work related to the effects of recovery medicine to his student, was there. Ramiris and Veldora seem to be having fun with an evil smile, but Bester doesn't seem energetic. He's really exhausted. Is she okay? I'm a little worried. 「Chee — view. How are you doing? Any progress in this research? 」

While greeting them lightly, I advanced into the room. Chester was silent in his hand who had written on the document, looked towards us, and then stood up.

「Oh, long time ago, Rimuru-sama」 「Ah, as usual. By the way, are you okay? You look skinny for something? 」「 I'm fine, what do I want to say, but ... Here, I've done bad research for the heart ...... 」Nn? He looked like he was going to say something.

Veldora seemed to be watching me, not surprised, she came up to me. 「Oh, long time no see. I'm helping here too. Since Ramiris asked me, it was inevitable. 」

「It helps. Because it seems hard enough that he said that he was short of hands. In response to her request, I brought her in as an assistant today. Although he may not have scientific knowledge, I think he will be fine with physical labor. 」「 Yahoo! Rimuru, I'm waiting! I have Shishou helping me and he's helping me a lot. And also, his research was also growing rapidly! 」「 Ohh? That's good to hear. Ramiris, you probably know him too? From today on, Dino-san will be your assistant. You can count on it in various ways 」And then, I introduced Dino to Veldora and Bester.

Dino looked around curiously, but she finished the introductory greeting. 「I'm called Dino. More or less, I am one of the pillars (people) of the Demon King.

I don't want to work, but I reluctantly help you. Please take care of me 」

How I say it .. You can't feel any motivation from his greeting. But it doesn't matter. He will be his assistant.

After the general greetings were completed, I asked why Bester was here and about the details of the research so far. The reason why Bester is here is because he was kidnapped by Ramiris. Looking for Bester who researched what I asked in the joint research room , Ramiris seemed to earnestly ask for his help and brought him here because he was short on manpower. He wanted someone who would do menial work such as filling out documents or collecting data. It seemed that Veldora did not help him at all with such tasks, so he gave it to Bester.

「You are having trouble, Bester」

I called out to him, and a smile of defeat floated on his face,

「No, not at all, because this also works」

He answers. Some time ago, Dino, a known Demon King, had put on an astonished expression as well, but his expression soon regained its calm.

He seemed to be too shocked, and he might have mastered the art of an undisturbed heart. Since he is capable, I think I might want to hang out in the Combined Research lab, not for research but to play but. As for why he was tired, it was due to the content of the research. Then he said, 「With all means, please let me continue researching! The idea of Ramiris-sama [11] is amazingly interesting. We collect data almost every day, it would be a pity to waste that sleep time! 」

He began to make a plea without hiding his excitement. The cause of its worn-out appearance is simply lack of sleep. There was magic like Refresh (Recovery of Physical Condition) [12], but that was by no means without rest.it was necessary to let him rest even if he had to be forced .ino came at the right time, but it was meaningless, entrusting trivial tasks to Dino while Bester sleeps sounds good. And then, I let Bester explain the details of the work to Dino. It would be better if they got along well. Although the other party was a Demon King, Bester did not hesitate and explained things skillfully. I paid little attention to her appearance, but she seemed to be fine. I decided to entrust it to them easily.However, the results of the study made me worry—

I was led to the hall where the Culture Capsule was installed. And then, I almost screamed when I saw the objects floating inside.

What is this slime !! [13] Or so, I screamed inside. Before me was a Bone Golem, made with Demon Steel, which could be said to be guarding this place somehow. The bone was made with Demon Steel, so it was a composite structure, in the strictest sense of the word, it was a fake. Instead of the heart in the middle, a "Magic Core of Spirits" pulsed. It was as big as a fist, but the essence had superior quality. I couldn't help but notice that the concept of the golem design was no different from Ramiris's toy. Spell Spells were applied to metal bones as well, and the embodiment that had begun as the bones were enveloped in magic power. It was a process that could produce monsters, similar to artificial reproduction. Each joint was embedded with a Spirit Orb, but it did not seem like any spirits were living inside yet. So it was an artificial production of various new warriors, a fusion of monsters and spirits? It's catchy. "It's fascinating. Is this Ramiris' idea? 」「 Of course! How!?"

Ramiris boasted and puffed out his chest. Yeah, you can brag. This is amazing.

「Learnest. Is this everything? 」「 I think so. I'm sure it'll work. But I'm worried whether Will will stay in it or not. However, in the worst case, if there is no Will, I can connect them to Beretta and control them all! 」

Wow, he's been thinking that far. Unlike the usual stupid Ramiris, it was quite skilled. I stared at the Bone Golem in the Culture Capsule while anticipating its power, but when it was born, it would probably be a monster placed above the rank among High-ranked Devils. There are 1,000 bodies. Are they created to grow at the same time? "perfect. Looks like it will come in handy 」「 Right, right! [14] The idea was born when I saw the appearance of Beretta, which you have made before. 」Ramiris declared happily while flying around me. It seemed like this would be a great power more than expected.

「However, I am currently in a dead end. Even if you enter a spirit, if its attributes are different, it is rejected. If it's energy without attributes, it can't bring up magic.Beretta is also a Saint and a Devil, although he is able to do it with direct energy, there are no attributes. 」

Magic power will be gathered in the "Magic Magic Essence". The magic power energy would then be converted into energy to summon Magic Spirits. But, if spirits with different attributes dwell around the Spirit Orb, the result is that the spirits are disgusted. with each other and it will be non-attribute, and, making it magic cannot be called. 「And then, can you take it out as energy?」 「Yes, but, it's just scattered in the air. Nothing means you know .. 」

Ramiris seems disappointed. So what he meant was, that it was meaningless that even if it had magic power, it could not bring out magic. Wait for…

「Hey, how about you enter this?」

What I took was the Core (Magic Orb) that Kurobee had given me before. Since this core was red in color, it was a Red Core (Fire Magic Orb). In fact, the inside of this Core was a structure laden with energy that gathered magic power around it and turned it into attributed magic power. That was the reason many magic powers were gathered and the power increased when filled with the owner's magic power. I thought that if I put this into the corresponding slot, it would be possible to use each attribute without any problems.

「May work!」

Ramiris's face sparkled in response to my explanation. He accepts Core happily and says that he will ask Kurobee how to make them. I can also make them but I can't explain the principle. By the way, it could be said I could only copy it. It was true to ask Kurobee about it.

Ramiris happily started his work. Although Veldora said she helped reluctantly, her face showed that she was having fun. Chester and Dino also seem to be friendly with each other, let's leave the next part for them.

However, everyone seems to be doing things in places I am not aware of, and that makes me a little anxious. I was also worried about Diablo who was still on his way, and about the training that Shion had done. becoming a lot of suitors for the army as well; it would be best if I set it up officially soon. Because after I threatened the council, and all the defenses had been entrusted to me, the adventurers and merchants gradually gathered to this place. They lived in the labyrinth city area and arranged to climb up their residence there, but there seemed to be some people who wanted to enter the Tempest Army. I would think of a military reorganization to include them as well.

I left the place while thinking about such things. There are still a lot of things to do.
