Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 251: Elegant Escape of Rimuru

"Have something upside-down—"

"Geez" "What happened, Rimuru-sama !? ”

“Excuse me, Shion! Please let me hug her too !! ”

Diablo was just about to ask if Rimuru was unwell after noticing his unusual behavior, when suddenly Shion appeared abruptly from the side.

He hugged the trembling mucus on the bed, and started rubbing his cheeks in delight.

While looking at that with envy, Shuna put her hand forward to pick up the slime from Shion.

It seemed like the two of them, Rimuru's unusual behavior was no big deal.

(Although so, Shion ……. To push me easily.If it was in terms of strength he might surpass me.... However, what actually happened to Rimuru-sama――)

Seeing the two of them hugging and caressing the mucus in turn with a glance, Diablo tried to sort out the situation.

It was not wrong that the slime in front of him was Rimuru.

But, from that person's mouth, the name Rimuru-n came out.

Even if someone can fool Shion, there are no imitators out there who can fool Shuna. An . Lisis' judgment so there's no doubt that it's the real person.

(Even with my senses, I can sense an endless amount of magicules. Which means, that slime is undoubtedly Rimuru-sama himself? No, but still――)

The slime only let the two do as they pleased, looking embarrassed.

He looked innocent, no matter how people looked at him and did not feel like an ordinary and brash Rimuru.

However, one still could not overturn the conclusion that this was the real person ……

Shuna and Shion happily started taking care of the mucus ―― Rimuru-n.

(Perhaps, this is one of Rimuru-sama's evil schemes. What will he do this time?)

Diablo reached such a conclusion.

He might leave his original body and transfer his consciousness to a clone to take action somewhere.

Because if 'Multiple Parallel Existence' is used, it is possible to immediately determine the position of 'Double Body' - it.

Diablo recalled that due to the cost of being such a vast existence, Rimuru complained about the difficulty of performing secret actions.

(Oh baby. Was it because, finding an explanation would be troublesome after leaving his consciousness? Or is it, he left a message about going out for now ...... In both cases, it boils down to me looking for Rimuru -sama, right? Kufufu.)

Leaving Shuna and Shion caring for Rimuru-n in bed, Diablo followed his instincts and immediately began a search for Rimuru.

The escape worked.

Well, that's natural.

After all, I had to prepare a clone body that did not have the slightest bit of magic in it after carefully repeating the experiment.

This body has the same level of performance as humans.

There must be no one out there who can realize that I am a demon lord in this form.

I am glad that the plan went well.

The goal this time was to participate in the 8th Magic and Science Development Forum – held in Ingracia College Town.

I won't be the one to announce it, but I plan on attending the event as a general participant.

Although this forum was held every year, there was a reason behind him participating this time. One of the broadcasters this year was an acquaintance.

The announcer is, Mai Furuki.

He is the person from whom I completed the full version of 'Teleportation'.

Currently, there were three places that had institutions called academies.

But it is not time to panic. It looks expensive at first but it actually makes a lot of sense.

I could travel by spending less than a tenth of this amount if I boarded the train. However, even with the fastest train, it would take at least 3 days to reach the Ingracia Kingdom from Tempest. And when you stop in every city along the way, it will take more than 10 days.

And when you also include the cost of food and lodging, using an airplane is very economical. After all, by plane, you can reach the Ingracia Kingdom within half a day.

When comparing time and money, it is in the nature of modern people to prioritize time.

It's strange how it stays with me even though I have an infinite lifespan.

>

This is the end if you go and say it. That would make my fear very noticeable, wouldn't it?

As usual, Ciel-san replied inexhaustibly.

So, after this and that, I bought a ticket and got on the plane.

The interior was luxurious, that was how it should be because it cost 10 gold coins. That's natural. After all, this is something I deal with as well.

Now, I go to the luxurious guest cabin

"Ah, you. You entered the academy this time, right? Then this way. ”

As I headed for the high-class section, I was stopped by a conductor.

He probably misunderstood me as an Ingracia academy student from my appearance.

Right now, my hair color is black and I also wear glasses and masks. Thanks to that, I didn't stand out too much.

I had set my appearance as a 15-year-old, so I guess being misunderstood as a student couldn't help.

I wanted to take on the appearance of Minami Satoru but it was impossible.

I did carry the gene data when I came back so I couldn't do it but ……

Like that, Ciel-san rejected me with the tone she used before.

She refused to say that things would be troublesome if I wanted to have a relationship .

—I definitely won't let other women enjoy! How embarrassing!-

Uh, I just felt a chill run down my back.

It would be better not to think too much about this.

Either way, I have to deal with this conductor first.

In the upper class section, there was an individual room.

There are only a few luxurious rooms at the top of the plane.

Compared to that, a normal ticket like the one on the previous world plane – many seats are lined up in space.

The cost of the ticket was only 1 gold coin and was well-liked by the general public.

This time, I chose a luxurious room to avoid the eyes of others but …

Now that I think about it, if I went into a luxurious room that looked like this, it would stand out even more.

Replacing tickets would be easy, so I guess I'll let the conductor's misunderstanding stay.

The seats on the plane are rarely full so there may also be no need to tell him anything …

"Ah yes . Sorry, I'm not used to this, so I made a mistake. ”

“Ah, we have many children like you. Ticket prices are high, so your parents may also be worried because they can't come with you. But rest assured. The crew on this plane will take responsibility and ensure you reach the Kingdom of Ingracia safely.

The conductor said with a refreshing smile, a hunk. If I am not mistaken, only people above B rank with more skills than common knights can become conductors. These conductors not only look good but are also skilled.

He had to be equipped with special protective clothing made with magical fibers and engraved magic that allowed them to turn their aura into a blade.

Conductors were of a much higher rank than low-ranked nobles - they were elites.

It's an employment rule that I've decided so there's no mistake.

And such elites were courteous with one student candidate.

I am also satisfied to see that Tempest Airline's education has been thorough.

I thank you and follow the conductor to the general section.

“Alright, good luck. ”

He said that with a refreshing smile and left.

"Thank you . ”

My reply ended up being very blunt but I was unable to stand out so please forgive me.

I sat in an empty chair.

I have to reach the Ingracia Kingdom within 10 hours or so.

If they search for traces of my magic, they will never find me. It would be different if they knew the search method used in my previous world, but here, I can calm down and escape.

I let out a sigh of relief and was in a good mood as I lay in a good chair.

Diablo, who had started looking for Rimuru, pondered.

(Well, if I guess what Rimuru-sama is thinking ..)

Diablo pondered, and soon came to a conclusion.

That if Rimuru like her now really ran away, it would be a very difficult job to track her down.

When he calls Moss his subordinate and learns that Rimuru is invisible throughout their surveillance network, he soon understands that Rimuru's escape plan this time around is very complicated.

If so, what would he do?

He tried to think about it from Rimuru's point of view.

There is a risk lies directly if he uses flight or teleportation. If so, then he might be traveling on foot.

But to track it like that, one needs to know its purpose …

And at that moment, he suddenly recalled someone who might know more about Rimuru's actions and her goals.

It was a creature that was like Rimuru-secretary

Of course, it wasn't Shion.

After all, when compared to Shion, even Diablo did more secretarial work.

He remembered the scenario he saw before exiting Rimuru's room.

Diablo had thought of asking Shuna to predict Rimuru's goal but he gave up before even talking to her.

That was because in front of Diablo's sight, Shuna and Shion were having a fierce fight.

“I will take care of Rimuru-sama. It would be difficult for someone as rude as you, right? ”

"What are you saying, Shunsama? Even though I'm like this, the kids love me! You just have to hand it to me.

They play an interesting pull with what could be called Rimuru's empty real body.

(Ku-kufufu ..... He matches Shion's power ?! When did Shundono gain such power ... No, who had no involvement in this matter. If they are distracted, it would be best not to ask them anything.)

Diablo nodded to himself and left the room without noticing the other two.

"You two, don't go too far"

Saying that in a low voice in order not to be noticed by the two of them, Diablo left the place.
