Chapter 302: Diablo and Godama

And that's how Diablo is frankly.

"Ha ha ha . It's true we received funding, but that's a matter in itself! In fact, it deeply offended me that anyone could suggest that our opinion was bought. Please don't insult us any further. I believe that learning about how to act against nobles is necessary. That's why I agree to it! "

Godama explained. His face turned slightly red, but he was still calm.

It was true that the nobles of Ingracia had offered funds for research, but it was unrelated to the talks between the three schools. That's what he insisted.

"Hm. ”

Diablo nodded.

Even when looking at him with his Demonic Eyes, he could see something unusual in Godama's breath or heartbeat.

He could say all this from the heart, or there was a completely different motive for receiving money.

Yes, for example – blames the nobles of the Kingdom of Ingracia, and so on.

Diablo had already examined Souei's investigative data and confirmed that Godama did not suffer from a lack of funds.

All of this states that the latter theory is the correct one.

It didn't seem like much could be learned by talking to Godama, so Diablo asked his final question.

“We will talk about it in depth at a later time. I only have one more question. The thing is, something rather important has happened … "

He pretends, then Diablo explains the scenario he and Souei agreed on.

It was a made-up story that he repeated many times in the Human Resource Development Academy and the Ingracia Academy.

–On the surface, it was just some entertainment for the Great Demon Lord Rimuru, while in reality it was training for the students.

Then the students have to be protected, and they explain to everyone that there is no need to worry.

But this time the situation is different.

“We've contacted you about that before, so you should be aware. But here is where everything is different. The problem is, we have lost contact with them. ”

He said, then examined Godama with demonic eyes.

"What…!? Really it?"

Godama asked in amazement.

But despite his words and attitude, Godama was quite calm.

(So he didn't move at all. In other words, he knows. So ...)

Other people must have been fooled by his surprised acting, but it didn't work on Diablo.

Godama is a former warrior who has conquered many trials in the past, and he has a personality that is not easily shaken.

That kind of man he was living with, and now, he had made a huge mistake.

If he wasn't surprised, he should have accepted it and moved on.

But acting like this had made Diablo's suspicions turn into convictions.

Maybe this just means that this is Godama's limit as a man.

At this point, while Diablo did not think Godama was the mastermind here, he believed that he was part of the 'Alliance of Human Emancipation. '

◆◆◆

Godama's mistake was thinking that he could fool Diablo.

He will protect himself with expensive magic objects and toys with Diablo with skills he has honed for years. He would guide her to think the nobles of the Ingracia Kingdom were enemies. That was what he thought, and it would eventually lead him to its destruction.

"You're not surprised. Could it be that you know something? "

Diablo continued to smile as he asked this.

Godama finally looked a little confused.

At the same time, he seemed to be aware of that fact, and it was even more shocking to him.

He should have been perfectly protected by magic, yet with Diablo in front of him, it did not seem to have any effect. That was the anxiety that caught him.

And that's true. As Diablo had said, Godama had been informed of this news before.

Just this morning, Magnus and the others who were his comrades, had sent him a long-distance message. It was a simple message containing information about crimes in place of survival and data indicating their location. There is also a request for help.

On the seventh day of – in other words, tomorrow, they have plans to meet a mysterious couple known as the Circus of Greed. They're gonna beat these two guys and steal their plane. However, there was a chance they could fail and the ship would be damaged. It was possible that the Greed Circus had more than two people, and hence they wanted reinforcements as well as a rescue team.

That's summary.

In this report, there is a line saying that they have removed those who would interfere.

Since Godama had read this then he understood the meaning of Diablo's question.

If this entire abduction was done falsely under the orders of Great Demon Lord Rimuru, it meant that the Greed Circus was working for Rimuru.

And as long as they acted under their watch, it meant that the Great Demon King Rimuru would be informed of the events.

This information should be conveyed to colleagues who are not yet aware. When he thought of this, Diablo visited him.

(It's bad. Very bad ..)

Godama panic.

The chances of him being suspected were very low, that was what he thought, yet he still carried his magic weapon as a precaution.

It was the 'Heart Protection Staff' that he had been carrying around for many years.

As long as he carries it, his heart will be protected. He was so confident in that fact.

Now, however, the magic effect had disappeared.

And there was enough reason here for Godama to lose the ability to think calmly.

While this was happening, Godama received a message from his secretary.

–Diablo energy is estimated to reach 7,000–

Godama looked at the message and returned to his usual calmness.

The arch demons that had dropped the empire into the holes of terror many times in the past were around 10,000. So he uses a machine that calculates the energy of others to calculate Diablo energy.

And just now, he was informed of the results.

7,000 – it is indeed quite strong.

However, it was not so powerful that he was invincible.

In fact, the empire boasted royal knights that were strong enough to kill arch demons alone.

(What, so the rumor was just a rumor back then. I've heard that he can't be compared to the big demons, but it's hardly a truck! So this is what I've been afraid of all this time? He's nothing. He's nothing. Still, at least that means I have nothing to fear.)

And with that, Godama smiled mischievously.

And then he signed an order that meant his own execution.

Immediately

"Lord Diablo, no, Diablo. I think I want you to die here. ”

"Hehehehe. Is that a joke? "

"The arrogant slime that called itself the Great Demon King seems to have stretched itself too thin. I think it's time we cut some. Don't worry, I'll make excuses, so you can die quietly. ”

He turned to Diablo and said exactly what one should not say to Diablo.
