Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 27: The Ogre

All the monsters inside the cave were now fleeing just by looking at me.

Probably the result of my aura.

Feeling happy, I left the cave.

So I planned, but …

「Gu, who is it! Pursuers? 」

"Young master! We'll just slow you down! Please escape with the princess !!! 」

「Bad devil! Don't try to fool our eyes !!! 」

And other similar big statements that I could hear from a group at the entrance of the cave.

Its height exceeded two meters, a group of huge monsters looked like a cloth militia. Their bodies are a lump of muscle, giants.

Isn't this the self-proclaimed ruler of the forest? They look exactly as Rigurdo described them.

So, what are they afraid of, demon? What's up with that? It's hideous!

Somewhat confused, I planned my escape.

I checked behind me, but did not feel any presence. There was also no heat signature.

So the giants can see it but I can't! This may be bad …

Just when I thought I had acquired a new ability.

「Mu, demon? What type? Bad me, but I don't see it .. where is it now? 」

Just in case, I started retreating to the ogre side.

But they still haven't responded to my question.

Moreover, they kept their distance from me.

Whahuh? Are they planning on using me as bait?

When I think so,

"What did you say? The evil demon is none other than you, slime! You haven't fooled our eyes !!! 」

One of the giants shouted.

What ... what?

To call an adorable slime like an evil demon? That's not a good thing to say!

「Oi. Oh! Wait a minute . Am I an evil demon? 」

「Are you trying to be stupid? An aura that doesn't match with slime! Do you think you're going to cheat someone ?! 」

Hm? Oh ... I enjoyed the cave monster too much and kept it open, huh.

So I quickly retracted the aura. And,

「I don't have anything like that! You must have imagined it! 」

「「 「・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・」 」」

Of course, I can't fool them.

But, after insisting that it was just a misunderstanding for a while, I somehow managed to get them to lower their guard.

Oh Boy's…

First, why are they here?

When I asked, they told me that they had escaped here.

Looking closely, there were many injured, with some very serious.

A normal monster would have been dead by now.

The only reason they were still standing was definitely due to the extremely high vitality of the gigantic race.

However, I continued to spit out some restorative medicine and treat their injuries.

With high vitality, even diluted drugs quickly restore them to perfect health.

Although they looked surprised for a reason, they thanked me.

Now, even though their wounds healed, they were clearly exhausted. So I decided to rest in my village.

After all, I need to find out what has enough power to exterminate the giants.

They are B rank monsters; but, from training, they can upgrade them to B + or even A-.

Forest ruler. The strongest creature around, or so I heard.

Anyway, I will guide them to the village.

Deciding to take them there, I called out to Ranga.

When summoned, he appeared from within my shadow. I finally managed to call him.

My pride does not allow the fact that Gobuta succeeded where I could not. So, I'm practicing.

And the good thing I have done – consider the current situation.

There are six giants.

Imitating the black wolf, I brought the three and left the remaining three to Ranga; so we returned to the village.

The walk took more than a day, but at our pace, we were successful in less than an hour.

As expected of the giants! Unlike the dwarves who fainted, they were only impressed with the speed.

Therefore, we drove the giants to our village, where I invited them to my tent.

Well, in place of the tent stood a wooden hut when I arrived.

It looks like the blueprint I suggested.

It seems like when I was away practicing my skills, they quickly set it up.

While thanking the dwarves and goblins, I entered it.

I seem to have imagined. Justjust wonderful.

The blueprints I made by drawing on the board with charcoal, and, along with the measurements, I left them all to Mildo.

After seeing it, "Understand!" Exclaims. The results. It seems like my handwriting effectively communicates the design.

In addition, the room was furnished as I had requested before.

As for the ogres, I show them to the living room.

And, asking them to wait inside, I headed to the dwarf.

To take the clothes I asked of Garm, of course.

Assuming my son's version, I tried on that outfit.

Steel underwear, and wolf fang outerwear.

The material used, of course, comes from the previous pack leader. But, for some reason, the fur turned black.

Wearing long pants and a coat, I felt like I was dressed to impress.

As an added bonus, it seemed that the feather had magical energy stored within it.

「Danna, this seems to have tremendous defensive power. This is not just an ordinary feather! 」

Satisfied, Garm gave his consent.

The last item was not an armor, but a piece of clothing. That's just fine. I would be fine without it, but I think having it is better.

So I thought, until I heard about,

「Ah, by the way, this outfit happens to have become a magical item. It will always fit the person wearing it! 」

What amazing news! In other words, even if I were to change into my adult version, the clothes would not be torn!

Well done, Garm-kun.

Chances are, the feather, which is constantly floating inside my magical energy (abdomen), is thus strengthened. So, if I find a good ingredient, I should remember to let it ripen inside.

Let's make a mental note about that.

Well, I shouldn't have kept them waiting too long.

After finding the right place, I asked Haruna to prepare tea for seven people, and returned to the ogre.

The ogres patiently waited. Perhaps finding unusual things, they looked around the room.

Unfortunately, since the building had just been completed, it had no decorations.

Haruna brought tea, and left immediately.

I guess it's time to try my human sense of taste.

I sipped his tea. Tasty.

For someone who has never bothered about taste or anything, this palette of the world has impressed me.

It feels like matcha – is a bit bitter. I also felt the warmth. Not the effect of warmth, but just warmth itself.

Strange feeling.

The giants also seem to enjoy tea.

And after we all calmed down, we started a discussion.

Halfway through, I called Rigurdo. And, I also have the remaining four clan heads present as well.

Kaijin had also just started her break, and came over. Perfect

Rigurdo and Ririna are coming soon.

The rest seemed to be very busy, so we decided to continue the conversation with the five of us.

Why did I call them?

Due situation.

If I had to summarize the story of the ogre, it would be easy: war. And the giants were defeated.

That's all it is.

At the same time when we fought the Flame Giant Ifrit, the giants were caught in their own war.

Who can take over the forest ruler? And to win, at that moment …

The goblin leaders were equally surprised.

In an instant, their expressions stiffened.

That enemy?

「They suddenly attacked our village. With incredible power …! that ... Orc !!! 」

Unlike humans, monsters do not have rules that set declarations of war.

But, although they could not be hostile to the surprise attack, the fact that the orcs even attacked the giants in the first place was strange.

Orcs are ranked among C ~ D. Stronger than your average goblin, but no harm to veteran adventurers.

But ... These weak people attacked the strongest, and even managed to win …

So I asked for details.

The giant village, though perhaps too small to call it, only holds 300 ogres.

300 B rank monsters.

It was the size of a country's knight order. If you plan on conquering such a village with B-Knight rank, you will need around 3,000 of them.

And those Orcs who have such power? We all have expressions of disbelief.

Considering that almost every villager was slaughtered.

The village chief and the small group seemed to be paving the way for their young master and princess to escape.

「If I had more power ... !!!」

He should be their young master.

The last scene they saw was that their heads fell onto an Orc.

Also, the giant orcs released a strange aura.

There are others like him.

While the village's elite fighters approached all four, the remaining Orcs stormed the village.

They numbered about ten thousand. Of course, he did not count each one, but rather felt that there were at least many.

But regardless of the method, there was an unreasonable amount of orcs.

And each, like a human, is fully armored in the letter.

If that was true, then this was certainly not planned by the Orcs alone.

Some countries may use orcs …

「Hmm, perhaps, they have become pawns of" Demon King "」

Kaijin mutters.

Does the possibility exist …?

I think that the Demon King avoids the forest in principle.

Outside of the forest spread the demon continent.

With arable land, production was carried out by the masses and enslaved golems.

Thus, the demon country did not starve, and only cared little for humans.

And for that reason, a demon king who wanted conquest would most likely attack humans.

However, there must have been a demon lord who, out of boredom, decided to start a war.

The loss of the Jura Forest guard – Veldora – also means that this type of demon king will no longer be unshakable.

I saw .

Then, I should probably think more about the forest defense.

Now, what happens next …?

I asked everyone's opinion.

「I believe the orcs intend to seize our land!」

Rigurdo answered on behalf of everyone.

They looked at me, waiting for my opinion.

Fight, run, or join them?

After all, those giants will soon become prisoners depending on my decision.

Quickly, tension increased.

「Well, how about we ask for tea again!」

Therefore, I asked for a second portion.

When everyone sipped their tea, their expressions loosened.

Now, then.

「What are you planning?」

I asked the giants.

「It's not clear. Look for opportunities, and get filled in! 」

"Of course . I must take revenge for my master! 」

"Me too! While I was helpless, I could not let the pigs live! 」

「「 「We will follow our young master and daughter!」 」」

Heh. They knew they were going to die, but …

"You . Not interested in being my subordinate? 」

"What did you say?"

Even if they did, the goblins would not be enough to affect the course of the battle.

We need to increase our fighting strength when the Orcs are excited.

「If you guys support me, I think I can fulfill your wish?」

"What did you say?"

「Simple. I'll help you guys. Well, I'm finally going to fight with them. 」

「So ... the goblins will help us fight, and we will be used to protect this place ... right?」

「Fast. By the way, it doesn't matter if the agreement survives until we defeat the Orcs! After that, I don't mind if you ask for your freedom.

You can stay with the goblins and create a country! Or, you can go alone! How about that? 」

The ogre named "young master" stopped to think after hearing my offer.

As expected of a B. "Young master" this obviously has the ability B +. I could see the intelligence in his eyes.

He slowly closed his eyes, and then opened them wide. And,

「Understood! We will be your staff! 」

In order to increase their chances of winning even slightly, they decided to serve me.

I'm happy, to say the least.

Maybe I can save them too.

I didn't know at the time, but the ogres were often mercenaries.

And, the vanguard army sent by the demon lord, happened to have the same job.

They easily accepted my offer.

When I heard it, I accepted it as a friend without question.

"Good! Well, let's name you guys! 」

"Huh? What…?"

The usual name.

While the giants were bewildered by the turn of events, I did not mind at all.

I'll give them some names soon!

Today, I feel very creative.

I see the color of their aura.

The young master will be "Benimaru".

The princess will be "Shuna".

Their guards too, Kurobee, Hakurou, Souei, Shion.

So I called them.

And then I entered a low activity state …

Hey, for that to happen just out of the six of them ... What's up with that?

When I woke up (well, I was up, but ..) the next day, I got my answer.

With hair burning like a red flame, Benimaru.

Although he was once large and thick, his height dropped to 180 cm, and his body stiffened.

However, his magic energy changed, enough to mistake him for a different being …

Eh? They evolved that much?

That, of course, is my intention.

Clearly, they surpassed A rank. Really, Onibito. (TL note: Ogre-men sounds weird)

Two black horns protrude from under the hair. Shines brighter than obsidian.

Though I'm sure she'll feel bad if I call her pretty.

Continue .

Shuna and Shion are women. If the princess was a man, I would complain.

Ogre women turn out to be very beautiful, but evolution makes them beautiful.

What's up with this? Where did these idols come from?

No, no, they're not that good!

From within his long, wavy, pink hair, two white horns could be seen. White skin and pink lips.

What a beautiful girl !!! It is about 155 cm tall.

Deep red eyes, with passionate gazes, looked at me.

The other one, Shion.

Purple, dark, straight hair, with a single purple horn. White skin, and red lips.

Purple eyes, as if staring at my soul. Height 170 cm …

Licking her lips as models sometimes do, true beauty.

I want him as my secretary.

So I thought from the bottom of my heart.

Kurobee was in his prime. A dandy uncle.

Hakurou is a middle-aged man. However, you cannot underestimate it because of it.

Souei is the same age as Benimaru.

Darker skin, and dark blue hair. A beautiful man with a different air around him; 190 cm tall.

Blue eyes, it suits him.

And all beyond rank A!

I'll say it again. They all surpassed A rank !!!

That's why I have to use that much magical energy!

If you ask me, I'll tell you that all the strongest giants have escaped here …

And they probably already have names.

But really, if they betray us .. it won't be a laughingstock!

And, as if mocking my worries,

「「 「Rimuru-sama! We humbly hope you listen to our request! If you are disposed of kindly, accept our loyalty !!! 」」 」

And, they simultaneously bowed before me!

Reason to refuse …? I have nothing .

So, I got a new friend!

… The fact that I am a little afraid of their power, we will keep a secret!
