Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 283: Watch out

Is that okay? I was wondering . But it's a little late for that.

There was a line of girls outside the tent who seemed to hear the rumors.

The tent was quite large, but it could only accommodate around ten people at a time.

We've borrowed one of the big tents just for this.

And because of this, it seemed like it would be a long time until all the girls were finished.

And one more thing.

Being able to see the frustrated expressions of Julius and the others was a very pleasant surprise.

This bath was made by Marsha, so no one could try and cut the line.

I wouldn't allow such a thing.

It was prepared because I wanted to take a shower, so why should I let anyone go first?

That's ridiculous! I'm sure it was .

But it's a good day.

A dinner far more delicious than those arrogant noble children ate. And also the best bath in this kind of situation.

I can fulfill these two strong desires.

I was very satisfied when I returned to my tent.

Just then, my 'Magic Detection' felt a powerful magic wave.

It detected the existence of monsters coming to this base, while being filled with tense emotions.

Is this emotion – eat !?

<< I hope this will happen. As you noticed for yourself, the herbs mixed in Julius and other foods have something in them that tastes monster. The effect now began to lure monsters around here. >>

I didn't actually notice it. Thenwhat?

No, I understand .. I remember feeling irritated yesterday because I was hungry. Must be because of the potion.

It has nothing to do with my lack of patience.

Surely so.

There is no way an adult like me can be so impatient. Yeah, I think it's very strange.

Wait, there's a more urgent matter now.

–Did the instructor notice it?

<< Looks like some of them have it. They were specially chosen, after all. >>

Hmm, okay.

I was relieved to see that they were not the useless type that would fail to be careful.

Well, if Julius and the others are mixing potions that lure monsters into food …

What is their purpose?

If anything, they eat it, which means they will be in the greatest danger …

–Is it possible that Julius was tricked into doing so?

<< I think it's very possible. Julius had more injuries than on the first day. But I believe that this development is also unexpected for the culprit. It was the Poison Tiger, one of the strongest creatures on the island, that led the horde of monsters. They might want to get rid of Julius and the group in a natural-looking way. But they would only attract attention like this. No, not only that – may even be difficult to survive this if they hide the strength they must have. We might be able to find the culprit by watching this fight. >>

The Poison Tigers roaming the southern poison forest were indeed formidable.

It's not something you can think of, so you have no choice but to kill him.

But still, get rid of Julius, huh?

While I am not sure if his intention is to kill, I do not like that method at all.

Considering that it was mixed into the food, there must have been a traitor.

This was clearly planned, likely even before my own survival plan. In other words, I have been used.

That's very, not funny to me.

Ciel's been keeping an eye on the suspect, and he's probably 99% sure of that.

But can this culprit kill the Poison Tiger? It might be better to prepare in case.

According to my own plan, none of the students were exposed to danger.

I will not allow this disturbance to cause death.

–Do you think all students will be able to get out safely?

I think a lot.

Then, I should give them a little helping hand.

I walked away from my tent while drying my hair.

And like that, I pretended like I was taking a walk to calm myself down, and headed to a secluded place.

Once I was sure that there were no students around me, I activated the 'Detection Block' magic'.

All voices were erased, and I was surrounded in silence.

"You're here, aren't you, Moss?"

I said in the dark.

"Here, my Lord. ”

As if answering my call, a figure appeared and bowed respectfully to me.

Moss is the Great Demon.

A Grand Duke of the demon world who stood above all Demon Lords.

And – when he was a lieutenant of the Demon Lord Testarossa, at some point he had been a Diablo errand runner.

Are you sure about this, Great Demon? Sometimes I wonder, but he has a very useful ability.

It was a Testarossa error.

He let Diablo use his subordinates as he pleased.

But then again, I also used Moss when it was convenient for me, so I can't say too much …

Even now, he immediately appeared after I called him, and paid my respects.

But really, this guy is useful.

He was stronger than the former Demon King, so even if he was a 'clone,' he was still stronger than the monsters on this island.

“I have a task for you. ”

“That brings me the most beautiful pleasure. ”

Every time I asked him to do something, he always accepted it with great joy.

Maybe I should buy him dinner sometime.

I think the barbecue will be good. No, I'll think about it later.

"Hm. Then let me ask you, can you protect everyone from the monsters coming towards us? ”

“That would be the easiest thing. My Lord . ”

"good. Then do it . It would be better if there was no death. However, I want you to hide your presence as much as possible. ”

"Haha, I understand. I will protect them from the shadows. ”

Moss bowed once more and then disappeared from my sight.

Now I can relax a little.

I went back to the others as if nothing had happened.

Oh, I forgot to invite her to eat to show my gratitude.

I could have asked Diablo to send him a message, but it seemed like too much trouble, so I had to tell him next time we met.

You should always thank people directly. So I decided to show Moss my appreciation for this opportunity.

Now, how did it go?

I'm sure that a possible worst-case scenario has now been avoided, so I might just lay back and watch.

Who did the trick on Julius? And what is their purpose?

And how good was the instructor in the face of this danger? How strong were the students Julius led?

In this dangerous situation, everything will be revealed.

I will use it all to my advantage. That's what I think when I smile.

Then-then

The first thing that resounded was the ferocious roar of monsters.

It was a signal of a very long night in front of us.
