Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 171: A Fun Tea Party

Ramiris suddenly flew into the room while shouting that Veldora had gone to the place of Ruminas.

Whatisit? I questioned internally, and asked for details but ……

「H-hey! What is Guy doing here !! 」

Ramiris notices Guy and starts making a fuss.

"Ah? What are you doing here?

As I recall, didn't you stay at 『Roh』 Residence located in the Republic of Ulgracia? 」

「Fufu! Don't think I'll always be an unemployed idle, huh?

Even I can get a job, and happen to have one now!

I earn a lot, and can even hire people now! 」

"Say what!?"

Guy put on a confused face as Ramiris boasted.

To make a quiet and quiet Guy work like that, Ramiris, you're pretty good.

Guy then looked at me, and I lightly explained how Ramiris now works here.

「So basically, I asked him to help me in many ways. 」

"Look! Like I said, right? 」

Ramiris proudly makes some shadow boxing poses like woosh woosh! against the guy from the back of my head.

Well that's okay, but please stop using me like a shield.

「Hah! Get all cheerful after getting a simple job.

A loner like you actually hires people?

I see you've learned some good jokes! 」

Led by Guy's provocation, the,

"Why you!!"

Ramiris releases Killer Dropkick on him.

But his fierce attack missed, and he was easily captured.

A disaster is fun, but there are more important things to tend to.

「Wait waiting, you can do it later, but about Veldora.

Is this about him going to Ruminas' place? 」

Recovering the hanging and upside-down Ramiris from Guy, I asked.

Ramiris can only concentrate on one thing at a time, so I need to ask about the important things first.

「Ah right!

Me and Mr (Veldora) were looking at a different place, but suddenly, he changed the screen, and became very nervous, so I'll go help!」

I did not see Ruminas on the screen ..... wondered why? 」

As expected, Ramiris' explanation was useless, and the situation remained unclear.

The only certainty is the fact that Veldora is heading to Ruminas.

Gosh, that sucks, I think when, I think,

"I? Did the boy run away?

And I finally came to see it too …… ……

It was a terrible sound.

Without leaving so many specks of her presence, a single woman opened the door.

Snow white. The cold and bewitching Blue Diamond eyes.

She is a charming beauty.

However, she did not feel alive, her beauty was like a puppet.

「What a delight, Satan Lord Rimuru-sama.

My name is Velzard.

Or, are you more familiar with the Velzard 'Ice Dragon'?

I'm Veldora's sister. 」

He said with a graceful bow.

Veldora's sister? In other words, this beautiful woman was another 'True Dragon !?

Since recently, Veldora had finally managed to control the leakage of her magic completely, but this person controlled it as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

The fact that I could not feel as much as the sign of his own presence proved his strength.

If not told, I would never have guessed she was a 'True Dragon'.

However, his overflowing spirit (TN: Haki) did not leave the room to deem him weak.

「Ah, Hello, I'm Rimuru.

Although with this form, I am an active Demon Lord. 」

I also introduced myself, and asked Shuna, who had guided her, to prepare another serving of tea.

Shuna worked with skill, never losing her composure.

No, not just him, all those who work in the duty of service do their work with the same diligence no matter who the guest is.

They have become professionals.

「You're terrible, Guy. Leaving me behind like that. 」

「Ah haha. Sorry I forgot you're a little bad at flying. 」

「I'm not that bad; Aren't you too fast? 」

「Hmm. Well, no problem, right? You know where I'm headed, right? 」

「Well, since you will still call Misery and Hillary, you could have been waiting for me too. 」

「You are right and everything. But you've done a good workout after all this time, so it's a win-win. 」

「Yes yes, whatever. 」

Velzard sighed as if giving up, and gracefully placed himself on the chair.

The smell of the trees pleases his nose.

Although there was a soft sofa, the wooden chair was also quite comfortable.

Surrounded by forests, it feels as if you are one with nature.

After sipping the tea brought by Shuna, the,

「Honestly, Veldora's, she doesn't need to escape」

He complains.

I wouldn't think Veldora escaped, but come to think of it, she never wanted to go to the demon continent.

He made such excuses too cold there or something, and I always thought it was strange because the cold didn't affect him.

「Hei Guy, are you probably living in the cold northern continent? 」

「Mm? Yes that cold place known as the 'Eternal Ice Demon', why? 」

「Because I didn't suppress my magic there ……

the unbearable cold place had now become an environment completely hostile to life. 」

I saw .

I'm sure now.

I'm sure that Veldora can't handle her sister Velzard.

He happened to notice Velzard through the Surveillance Magic, and made a straight line for another place.

It wasn't like her, but I had a friend who had once felt the same way about her own older sister.

「She is too evil ....」

My friend complained.

Even a 'True Dragon' like Veldora must have the same feeling.

By the way, some of the others also boasted of bad luck with their younger sister, but I, who only had an older brother, honestly could not relate.

Both sides have problems, is my impression.

「Velzard-san, could it be that Veldora doesn't like you that much?」

I casually asked.

"God? I have taken good care of her since she started going berserk as a baby.

I even held him back, and stopped him every time he rowed.

He is useless and can't even maintain his humanoid form, and I even took the trouble of punishing him after too many small disasters ..

Velzard recounts episodes from the past, describing the good things he had done for her.

The reason is clear now.

Judging from the story, against Veldora's 'action-oriented' power, Veldora's 'binding-oriented' power was very effective.

In other words, natural enemies.

Yes, I must agree to his desire to escape, even if he will not do anything.

Veldora who is always confident and fearless has a weakness ―― Or rather, big brother. Although not blood related ―― as it is unexpected.

After that, we spent time listening to Velzard's story, and chatting with Guy.

Ramiris happily ate the cake, and hung out with Velzard.

Velzard also loved cake.

When the topic of teaching grilling techniques to waiters came,

Thank you so much for doing our servant education. 」

He asked cheerfully.

Now, there's no way I can resist.

If I did, I could resurrect something even scarier than Guy.

Listening to Ramiris bragging to Guy, and correcting his magnification, I spent some time quite peacefully.

After quite a bit of conversation, I took the time to climb Hillary and Misery before forgetting.

Since I have claimed that only the Lord of Belzebuth can do it, the fact that I took a little more soul than necessary will be my little secret.

Following in Raphael-sensei's footsteps, I decided to be a little bold.

Giving them each 90,000 souls at a steady pace immediately resulted in evolution.

Just like Lord Raphael said.

And with that, I have 520,000 souls left.

Now I can appreciate the people I couldn't evolve in the ceremony.

I was worried what would happen when Guy came, but the event ended well with us.

「Hopefully I have no trouble.

Now both can be a little useful too.

Well, you can call me if anything happens.

I'll help you a little, okay? 」

"Yes thank you . You can contact me at the end as well. I'll do what I can. 」

We say goodbye with the promise of cooperation.

Or rather, the Gate was connected and traveling to and fro did not take time.

Just to confirm, I made a short visit and returned.

Now, it becomes possible to Teleport to Guy's domain.

This skill is only possible for places already visited.

Steady efforts like these are needed in the hope of making our plans to travel the world fruitful.

Teleportation is not possible for those who are not strong enough.

But one day, I hope to set up Transit Gates to move an important facility.

So, we saw Guy and the group leave.

It was an unnecessary detail, but Guy ended up eating 5 pieces of cake.

If this keeps up, I feel like he'll be visiting again soon.

Next time, I can prepare the sweets, I thought comfortingly.

Well, after Guy left, I went to see the three Demon Dukes.

They looked like dry husks from their previous selves.

「Our sincere apologies!」

The three of them bowed profusely, and their injuries seemed to be fine.

I feel relieved.

I want to give them a soul to evolve immediately.

Gerudo and Adalman turned down the offer, and I have to wait for the next opportunity in their case.

I don't want to force a reward on them, if they don't think they deserve it.

On that note, the three Demon Dukes had already shown very promising results. I made them wait for my own comfort, so now is the right time.

And I better personally see their growth.

With that, their evolution resulted in them becoming 'Demon Kings'.

Same with Misery and Hillary.

It was a bit troublesome, but they had reached the highest rank in the Aristocratic Demon class.

Their status as Gods proved the new strength they discovered.

After all, the three of them had managed to rise to the highest ranking of the elites.

They understood that the overlapping effects of Skills and Magic could break through the multilayered obstacles.

These three girls fight with the strongest known as Guy, and luckily survive.

This breeds a desire to at least act as a shield for their Rimuru-sama the next time they face Guy.

Diablo's education may gradually make them stronger, but their defeat in recent events has led them to aspire to even greater power.

Against a powerful opponent, it triggered a desire not only in humans, but even the soul of Devils.

Their evolutionary effects were spread to the Arch Demons, and evolved into Demon Dukes.

As for their noble level,

Duchy: Moss

Marquis Level: Veyron

Earl's Class: Poison

Viscount Class: Agera and Esprit

Baron Classes: Shien and Zonda

Well, this might seem like a complicated title, but it was just to point out the difference in the Demon Dukes class.

Among the remaining 600 demons, some became Demon Arch equivalent to a Knight class, but the rest remained Great Demons.

They were not named, so too many powers were not expected.

But since their bodies were of Culture Capsule Automatons, their strength increased more than usual.

They will probably prove useful today.

Right now, they are doing miscellaneous work like security or manpower, but since they can teleport, I can have them gather information from different parts of the world.

After all, they had all safely reached greater strength.

Tomorrow, the Imperial Airships will cross the Ruminas domain.

I've planned to go support him if necessary.

Demons actually had a good affinity for evolution, as they all easily completed their Harvest Festival.

The relationship with the Cultural Capsule was also enhanced, and from tomorrow, Devils that were stronger than the Great Devil would be born.

The souls I received (stealed) from Guy promoted my power to a higher level, so just looking at the results, it was a really rewarding encounter.

I told the three girls to rest, and after making sure that they did, I returned to the control room.

The Imperial Aerial Fighter Legion was already scheduled, arriving at the earliest tomorrow afternoon.

And when I was thinking of contacting Ruminas about Veldora ――

The scene was prominently displayed on one of the Surveillance Screens.

Veldora flew at a very high speed on the path of lightning with the Imperial fleet.

It was an overhead image from a height, so I could easily see the route.

At this rate, he would cause a war to break out in less than an hour.

「Serious, what he did ..... Veldora it .......」

My alone words echoed in the control room.

?????????????????????????

Veldora soared in the open sky at a speed tens of times higher than sound.

He had fun after returning from his narrow humanoid form to his original Dragon form after a long time.

Although, other than his current feelings, the reason he needed to be like this was not pleasant at all.

He had escaped from his sister.

His brother, Velzard, could be called the only natural enemy.

In terms of ability, their fight was very bad for him.

Furthermore, he was born before her, and defeated her in power, Energy and others.

In an honest fight, he wasn't sure he could win.

It happened many times after Veldora came to the world.

He challenged her, but was beaten every time.

'Velzard's 'Eternal World' was an impenetrable defense that also served to seal off all Veldora's movements.

Storm, Destruction, Corrosion, Doom.

They were all canceled against his absolute ties.

Right now, he might have a chance to defeat him, but it was still too early.

After all, only after learning to control his strength did he realize that his older sister, Velzard, had always been able to do it perfectly.

The nature of his strength, he said, is particular in 'stopping all energy to activity', but he likely has unparalleled power to complement it.

Veldora was careful because she knew that her sister was not too playful.

「Kuhahahaha! Our fight is not waiting! 」

Leaving behind long distances and cold lines, He continued his high-speed flight.

His impending clash with the Empire, whether it was fate or coincidence, was unclear.

But as if playing a bland joke, fate said that one of the airships was carrying the Velgrynd 'Scorch Dragon'.

After thousands of years, a fierce battle would arise from this second meeting of the 'True Dragons.
