Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 257: The Pirate Ship

"As I thought, you plan to use my ship–"

"It's a message from Rimuru-sama but .. he said that if you can complete the mission, he will even prepare a letter of marque–"

"I'll do! Please leave it to me! ”

Laplace's entire face lit up with a smile and he picked up Tia and happily rushed out.

It would be best to limit the use of spatial travel so that Milim was unaware of it. Souei had already decided that this mission was best suited for Laplace when Souei received the mission from Rimuru at first.

However, it was their fault that they did not know there was anger among the airships at the moment.

Diablo and Souei pondered about it inside.

And after that, the two of them started discussing about the second goal.

◆◆◆

It was a while after the ship took off.

Although the duration of the flight is affected by the weather, the plane will arrive in Ingracia Academy City within 10 hours.

However, this time, a certain event was about to begin.

And just as I was thinking that, Laplace came.

Broadcasters have announced that the plane is now entering a state of emergency.

Magnus kept talking to me so Laplace really saved me.

Why do I need to tell this person about my favorite foods or hobbies and things?

He didn't try to hit me, did he?

I think not, because now I look very innocent because I wear round glasses, masks and black hair.

Well, I guess it doesn't matter because Laplace is here.

After all, from now on, he would have no chance of attacking people.

“Hyaaahhaaa !! This ship is now under the rule of air pirates – Greed Circus !! Cry, scream, and despair as you please! ”

A cheerful voice echoed within the ship.

Laplace, that is, it seems like he is enjoying this to the fullest.

Well, it doesn't really matter because it won't affect me.

He wouldn't dare to attack one of the Tempest Airline's ships and it wasn't really pleasant to see a developing country ship expanding into the sky.

Importantly, I have already confiscated all techniques related to airships from the Empire.

It was one of the conditions to acknowledge the Empire as independent. After all, I want the monopoly of the heavens to remain under Tempest.

Although I don't think it will ever happen but, to prevent the use of airships in wars between countries, this issue is one of the most important.

After all, if you get rid of the sky between the sky, land, and sea – there is only a limited area where you can fight.

Although I don't think there are idiots out there who will come to fight with us, it will be difficult to stop other countries from fighting among each other. We can be mediators but interfering in their problems even before the war breaks out will only buy into their hostility.

And when I think about it considering all that, in order for the war not to affect civilians, eliminating flying troops is the most effective.

Airships were inventions that completely changed the concept of war. And because of this, there is a need for us to keep it to ourselves.

Because of this, there is also a need to destroy aircraft-related inventions made by other countries. So I thought of making something to stop him. So if I just leave it to Laplace, he will happily do these tasks.

All that's left is to make sure they don't know that I'm behind this. I have to be careful not to leave evidence.

While thinking about such things, I observed the course of events.

“You can relax. I'll protect you!"

This Magnus man grabbed my hand and said it without feeling the slightest bit embarrassed.

What is this, what is this? – I feel like shouting out loud.

What 'you can calm down, I'll protect', huh?

Don't mess with me, you idiot. First of all, I told you I was a man.

My heart no doubt belongs to a man. This Magnus dude really doesn't listen to anyone else.

I finally grumbled about him. I guess I'll let him rest because I didn't say it out loud.

Putting Magnus aside, I have to go and do my job.

A jolt streaked across the ship, signaling that Laplace's ship had been connected.

The cockpit is probably in a state of panic right now.

First, let's rest in peace.
