Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 47: Specialization of the City

The demon Gracius was a wolf.

Judged for his excellent espionage abilities, he is assigned a secret mission by the Demon King Karion.

He remembered his words, though,

「Dead them but be careful not to be noticed; if you see other demons, convey an invitation to the oni in front of them! 」

A demon other than himself? When he asked about it, Karion added,

「Clayman and Milim will send one of their subordinates there.

Working with them gives me goosebumps, so do as I ask! 」

He said, taking his eyes off.

"ah! Karion-sama! Why did you take your eyes off?

Could they be troublesome opponents? 」

Upon hearing this question, Karion was confused for a moment, but his confusion quickly turned into a wide smile.

"I saw! You've never heard of Milim, have you? Is that so .. I understand, I understand!

Alrighty! No problem, in this case. Regarding Milim's subordinate, or rather, the one who calls himself his subordinate – don't fight him!

As long as he stays happy, everything is fine! But I really believe you! 」

So he said.

Grucius thought about the question he was trying hard to ignore.

"Milim" most likely refers to Demon Lord Milim Nava. A famous demon king that even Grucius had heard of.

He is strong. With her own strength, she will be a match for Karion-sama; the worst-case scenario of – she will surpass him.

His personality can be described with four words: grumpy, haughty, cruel, and selfish. Nothing good has ever been said about him.

However, why should he be afraid of his subordinates?

It's been 100 years since Grucius became a demon. So, he naturally did not know.

Not about Milim, at least – rumors were excluded.

Immediately – when he reached the meeting place, exactly – he quickly regretted his ignorance.

The Myulan Devil bemoaned his misfortune.

Working with the other subordinates of the Demon Lord was already bad enough. However, among them was Demon Lord Milim himself.

「I assume responsibility for that result ...」

Demon Lord Clayman said,

「But I have no disposable pawns other than yourself.

Had I not lost Gelmudo, I would have sent him, but …

There's nothing we can do about that, right? He's gone and dead! 」

No further discussion on this topic.

Satan Lord Clayman.

The Marionette Master. A person who manipulates his friends and subordinates like a puppet.

To him, the matter was set on stone.

And even though Myulan was only called a disposable pawn, she did not have the will to retaliate.

He had no choice but to accept.

The demon king named Milim was well known to him.

So Demon Lord Clayman gave him one command.

Take off the other demon kings and find their weaknesses!

That much.

Since Milim was involved in the case, further activities were not possible.

Myulan agrees.

Demon Lord Milim was not stupid at all. He was called grumpy and brash, but that was not true.

Moreover, he had an abnormal perception, so fooling him would prove difficult.

So, it would be better not to try to get through it.

But Myulan had no reason to be wary of Milim's subordinates.

But he was still wary of Milim.

He understood why he had to remain vigilant, Demon Lord Clayman had delivered it just a moment ago.

Chances are, Demon Lord Karion knew too.

The reason is,

「Oh, so you'll be my friend, huh? I am the subordinate of Grucius Demon Lord Karion! 」

「Happy to meet you, my Myulan Demon Lord Clayman!」

「I Milim!」

Milim's subordinate was not found.

That's how it is.

And thus, the three gathered at the meeting point.

＊ ＊ ＊

The agreement between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Monster State basically testified to bilateral cooperation.

The fact that their two representatives signed the agreement ensured its validity.

Could this agreement between two countries be made easily? Because it exceeds my knowledge, I ask, I ask,

「Hmm? That's not a problem . Since I swear by the gods, spirits, and holy ancestors, I cannot sign mistakenly.

And you're not human, are you?

Through the authority of the contract, should you lie, you'll be erased, you know? 」

and received unreasonable responses. So, I asked 『Great Sage』 for an explanation.

Apparently, monsters can't lie. I was completely unaware of that very important fact.

We cannot tell what we believe to be lies. However, that doesn't mean we can't fool people.

Eliminate facts, for example, or direct them to believe something by simply revealing specific facts.

However, in terms of contracts, lying through such methods essentially becomes impossible.

Well, if you can talk yourself out of a lie then there is no problem; but if you openly declare a lie, your existence will be erased.

It was a rule related to every monster.

However, monsters born through birth were not always bound by this rule, and were sometimes able to lie.

Goblins can lie freely. On the other hand, high-level monsters and demons exemplified this rule, and were famous for being contractually bound.

The devil does not lie. Although they were often called cunning, they were actually a rather pure race.

And when people begin to believe this they become negligent, and the devil comes to snatch their souls …

「Although you're a monster, you don't know this? Rimuru, aren't you weird .. 」

「I was born not long ago. Am I still in the learning process? 」

「Begukah ... well, whatever. Please don't accidentally wipe out your entire country after I have trouble recognizing it!

Your rules guarantee the safety of the entire forest. I beg of you!"

「Well, we just finished building this city, and we don't mean to lose it; so, we will do our best! 」

And so, we signed the agreement.

I still don't know all the alphabets of this world, but at least I can write my name. I learn a lot when I'm bored.

As I wrote my name, the document began to glow and split into two.

This paper, it seems, was created by the Ghost Researchers. To undo it, you must burn both copies at once.

However, as long as the other party was still alive, destroying the document was impossible. It will only restore itself as before.

We've tried it once, and it's exactly as they say.

Thus the contract is completed. This contract must be kept between the two countries. And while publicly stating it's not a problem, it kind of defeats the purpose.

No need to let the world know about it.

The Dwarf King received his copy, delighted.

「I will also hand this to you!」

He said, and took out a crystal as big as a fist.

When I received it,

「That's communication crystal. Ask Bester about the installation.

Use it in case of emergency. And stay healthy! 」

He explained, and charged Pegasus.

And, look at Bester,

「The best, you have to find out your heart's content here!」

"King! This time, I will meet your expectations !!! 」

He said and nodded at the answer.

"Suncle!"

He added, and flew.

He suddenly came, and rushed away.

Just like a storm.

「Hey, Kaijin, is it okay for your country to have a free willed ... person as king??

「Who knows .. but, he ruled for hundreds of years, and has many achievements, so it should be fine!

But never in my time in court did I see him move so selfishly .. 」

"All right! I am the last person to criticize him! 」

Right, I also plan to run to the human village.

I don't plan on saying anything that will limit my ability to move.

Leaving the conversation then, we left the open.

The documents I deposited into my stomach.

Since our defense isn't perfect yet, stealing it would make for a bad story.

"Will it reappear if I lose it?" It was an experiment I would not do.

And thus, we managed to make a pact with the Dwarf Kingdom.

Well, it's time I considered the lessons Gazelle taught me yesterday

「Rimuru-dono, Kaijin-dono, I humbly apologize! Could I work here? 」

Bester interrupted my thoughts.

Now that he mentioned it, he almost set us up .. I completely forgot.

「I'll be honest, can you follow my orders?

I forbid discrimination against any race of monsters! Are you okay with that? 」

"Of course . I have reflected on my mistakes. First of all, it makes me feel envious of Kaijin-dono …

I will not repeat that mistake!

I want to continue my beloved research with all my strength; I will never betray that desire! 」

「For me, I will only benefit from excellent researchers!

If anything happens, I will take responsibility for it.

So, Rimuru-danna, please forgive him! 」

Kaijin said so.

Well, rather than me, it's you, Kaijin, who will be troubled …

「Well, if you are okay with that Kaijin, I have no complaints.

Nice to have you, Bester! 」

Thus, Bester became our new friend.

And as he became our new friend, we made a discovery that would later become a specialty of our city.

＊ ＊ ＊

The worst day .

How many*******grucius demons have been suppressed until now?

Recalling the grin of Demon Lord Karion that only stirred up anger.

He knows, it's. Actually, not — I should have known myself. So he thought.

The worst day .

The worst day .

When they meet,

「Hey, short. How dare you call yourself by the name of the demon lord?

I won't tell your master, so name yourself at once! 」

She's saying.

And as soon as he said it, he fainted.

Grucius regretted his misfortune.

From the very beginning, he had never seen Demon King Milim.

Having beautiful and shiny blonde hair tied up on twin tails, and short stature, anyone would mistake her for some random child.

No one expected him to be so strong.

Although she made a very cute face, as she called him short, her expression changed.

His round eyes immediately turned sharp, and his lips turned into a cruel smile.

Then, his consciousness faded.

After being hit a second time, he was cold; and that brought us to the current situation.

The other demons Myulan ignored him.

The worst day .

Gracius was reflecting. Not judging the demons from their appearance was a reasonable thing, so why would he make such a huge mistake …

Myulan must know.

Just before Grucius was hit, he saw his eyes wide open, as if shouting: what are you saying, stupid ?!

He would probably have said the same thing had he known …

The worst day .

If only ...if only he had been told of this …

However, he was told not to fight anyone who would refer to himself as Milim's subordinate.

But who would have thought that he would not call himself a subordinate but openly call himself …?

Is Milim honest with a mistake? No, it's too late to have such thoughts.

Since then, Grucius made sure to never judge the demons from their guise!

And now .

He was in the form of a wolf, running through the forest.

Thanks to his regenerative abilities, he somehow survives.

After being knocked out, he was then ordered to let her ride. Of course, he had never even considered refusing.

Myulan ran by his side.

To the demons, this much would not make them tired at all.

And thus, the three arrived at a certain city.

＊ ＊ ＊

We've been busy developing our restorative medicine.

Well, I doubt you can call trying to lower its "development" performance.

Can we dilute a single restorative pill (98% purity) with ten times the amount of water to make a high grade medicine (60%)?

We tried to do it, but it was impossible. It turns into a low-grade drug (20%).

If you use a high-quality pill, the purity will only go up by 10%.

And then, Bester made an unexpected discovery.

He wanted to see our hippocte grass farm, so I led him to the Seal Cave.

He was afraid of riding a star wolf at first, but quickly got used to it.

And thus, we entered the cave. Gabil greeted us at the entrance and showed us the entrance

After observing our cultivation, Bester went to look at the underground lake.

「Rimuru-dono, hypocte grass can be cultivated due to the high density of magic energy of this lake, right?

So what if we try to dilute the restorative pill not with normal water, but with this water? 」

I see, we have to test his theory at once!

And that's what we do. We are able to produce middle class medicines (40%).

Of course, with high-quality pills, the purity rose to 50%.

How beautiful . Great success .

We also tested how much we could dilute it; from a single pill we could make 20 middle grade medicines.

Nodding to Kaijin, I gave her a high five.

We managed.

The first of Tempest City Monsters.

And that's how we make it.

Bester seemed to be having fun handling the grass with Gabil.

Maybe they're a bit compatible.

「Hah, aren't you familiar. Bester, how about we make you a room here? 」

I used it as a joke, but

「Are you really ?! To think that I would also be allowed to stay in this cave.

It has the perfect atmosphere for science experimentation (crazy)! 」

He said, his eyes twinkling.

「Are you sure? There are B + rank Centipedes around here, you know? 」

「Hmph-deep. No problem .

I may not have seen it, but I have enjoyed magic, and I am quite clever! 」

I looked at Kaijin, and he shook his head. A lie?

「As long as you don't regret it. We will prepare the room for you! 」

「No problem, I said! Gabil-dono is here! 」

I see, if Gabil was here, Bester wouldn't have been attacked, huh.

Satisfied,

「Gabil, can I hand Bester to you?」

"Please do! I am here, and I will also assign two of my subordinates! 」

How reliable he gets.

I'm still worried about him getting a big head, but I guess he's strong to start with.

But he seems to have calmed down recently, and hung out with Bester pretty well, so I had to hand him over to him.

So, we've built Bester's research lab in the cave.

Gabil had two of his subordinates guarding the room in the cave, and the result was actually rather pleasant.

If this wants to be his lab, we may not need to include the necessities of life.

But, we need to figure out how he's going to travel to the cave all the time.

While I was thinking about these things,

「Rimuru-dono, can I make a magic circle here?

It will be difficult to make inside these doors, but it is possible outside.

Should I arrange it? 」

I had mentioned earlier that I wanted to have a magic circle in place where I defeated the black snake.

Circle 〈Transport〉 Magic System, to be exact. If you write two identical circles, you can move between them.

Well, I don't think it's accurate to say that I would love magic. Kaijin was also surprised, hearing Bester explain this.

So, as long as the monsters won't appear in the middle of our village, I decide to allow it.

Bester then drew a circle inside his house and another one inside the cave. And thus, he solved the transportation problem.

But wow, the transportation circle is convenient.

Of course, I asked him to teach me immediately.

And, after Gabil and the others had also studied it, we were able to move easily between the city and the cave.

Bester is an unexpectedly useful dwarf.

As for the man himself, he was just engrossed in fantasizing about all the research he would do.

Since I left some restorative pills and demon steel with him, he can continue researching on his own.

I also introduced her to Kurobee and Shuna, who started another long conversation.

Instead of politics, this guy was made for science.

He looked very boring when he was obsessed with political power.

I guess it ruins you.

But really, people should do whatever they like. As long as it doesn't cause any problems for others!

So, after spending time with Bester, he naturally became one of our friends.

＊ ＊ ＊

Ending his meditation, he opened his eyes.

In the middle of the dimly lit room of the high-class inn, the Dwarf King sat down.

One who stayed at the leader of the – Espionage Department used an alias, of course.

The King laughed. It has been a long time since he had such an interesting experience.

「King, are you in good health?」

Suddenly, a shadow appeared nearby.

He instantly knew – it was one of his spies.

The fact that he slipped out of the palace and was now here probably caused a huge commotion in the palace.

First of all, he had a hundred people as his personal guards, for them to let someone in or out undetected was completely absurd.

They need to be retrained, once the King thinks.

"No problem!"

He answered briefly.

There can't be a problem. Then, even though it had been a long time since he last used this skill, he used 『Spirit Possession』 on spies.

And, tell the Espionage Leader,

(You will return to the Royal Capital, take Pegasus with you! Missing into a shadow like you always do after that)

(Aye! As you command!)

Typical exchange.

His trusted confidant, the leader of the Espionage Department.

With the same face and body. Clones made by Ghost Researchers.

It was a secret that was only shared between the two of them.

Unlike against foreigners, the King could perfectly use the Spirits Possession P on these spies.

In an emergency, this is his ace.

Dwarf King Gazelle Dwargo remembers yesterday's match with slime.

The mucus will become very strong …

Only with reaction speed could he receive my sword.

Gazelle had no intention of hitting the sword from Rimuru's hand. He intended to land a blow on Rimuru's head.

And that attack, whether he was left behind with the attack or not, Rimuru was able to react.

How funny, he thought from the bottom of his heart.

What will happen with this deal, he doesn't know.

Yet…

Don't disappoint me, Slime Rimuru!

Gazelle feels the end of an age of peace approaching.
