Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 49: Hurricane Milim

The Devils Grucius and Myulan were walking in the forest disguised as humans.

They hope to get a chance in the human army soon.

Like any wolf, Grucius' appearance was slightly different from that of a human when it did not change.

It has been five hundred years since the Lycanthrope King Karion called himself a demon king in search of power.

It was a time of turbulent events where a new demon king replaced the old one. Called the World War, this event will happen once every 500 years. And that's when it happened.

At the same time as Karion, three other demon kings were born. Frey is one of them.

Considered the youngest, with the least experience in war, was Demon Lord Karion, and the last to be born, Demon Lord Leon Cromwell.

The six new demon kings were thus members of the new generation.

The old generation, on the other hand, had survived two such wars; their strength far exceeded the others.

Therefore, most of the new generation demon lords were trying to expand their strength.

Karion being one of these, it was natural for him to look for a strong individual.

Grucius became a demon only a hundred years ago.

The lifespan of lycanthropes is not much different from that of humans. The only difference is their youth – lasting from 30 ~ 50 years.

In fact, when they start to get old, their bodies start to weaken quickly and they tend to die within two weeks.

The King of the Beast Country Yuurazania Karion had great power from the day he was born.

He became a demon through his own strength, and even evolved into a demon lord. There were also rumors that he exterminated a single demon king himself, but whether or not it was true was open to debate.

Grucius did not have enough strength to evolve on his own; however, he excelled in terms of stealth and combat.

But thanks to his ability, he got a chance to develop.

Through the blood of the king.

The survival rate of this ceremony is only 10%. Being able to survive by itself is a sign of a hero.

Grucius experienced this ordeal, like squeezing through the eye of a needle.

And thus, Grucius became the same species as his King, and acquired the same abilities and long life.

Even now, a hundred years since his birth, his abilities had not diminished.

Compared to Grucius, the state of Myulan was much more complicated.

She was originally a witch. Persecuted by humans, he was on the run about 300 years ago. After uncovering the secret of evolution, he provides his own benefits.

That is, he obtained an immortal youth.

As for why he was currently serving Demon Lord Clayman, it was because of the deal they made.

About 400 years ago, Clayman replaced the previous demon king.

As he does so, he begins hunting down demons and named monsters to steal their hearts.

Making them swear allegiance to him, he wrote curses to their hearts, making them immortal servants.

Myulan met the same fate.

Although he gained demonic power after evolving, he was much weaker than Demon Lord Clayman; so, after being defeated, he had the curse of slavery engraved in his heart.

As a result, his status had indeed increased, but he could not be happy about it.

And since then, she's been one of Clayman's dolls.

He could understand demons like Gelmudo who missed their own servants.

Myulan was waiting for an opportunity. To remove the curse and attack Clayman.

His long life, however, testified against such odds.

The difference in their abilities was simply too great.

So his servant's life continued. He only hopes one day to be freed from the curse …

So, to this day.

“The goal is information gathering; I will complete the task perfectly! ”He thought, thought of a plan.

He will use whatever he can – whether it is Grucius or an army of humans!

Anything goes on as long as it causes his release.

He had no choice but to comply with Clayman's wishes.

Since he was originally a human, turning into a human was almost no effort.

.

A man and a woman walked in front of Youmu's group.

And they quickly joined the party.

Siblings, they said; an older sister and her older brother. But it's amazing no matter how you look at them.

Youmu observed the two, who were happily conversing with the rest of the squad.

They were wearing Empire clothes; with an unsightly appearance.

Although they were not very suspicious, if they had a little bit of strength, they would definitely be able to walk through the forest.

The Jura Forest Monsters were not very strong individually. That is, the statement would be correct if the monster did not become active some time ago.

Right now, entering the forest was truly dangerous. Traveling through the Dwarf Kingdom was much safer.

"They were indeed suspicious .. couldn't let my defense around them. ”

Youmu reasoned to himself.

There was nothing strange about their story, and they opened themselves up quickly to the entire garrison. At first glance, no problem, right?

However, his intuition said otherwise. And in such a case he must trust his intestines. That is the way of life that makes Youmu alive to this day.

"Well, they seem capable, so let's use them!"

He just decides. Whatever their intentions are, Youmu just needs to make sure that he uses them himself in return.

There were only too few people in the garrison, and only a few of them were extremely skilled.

So welcoming two strong people into their group would only benefit them.

The suspicious ones were the three captured adventurers.

He ordered them to lead the way to this mysterious city, and they showed no sign of lying. Therefore, the city must truly exist.

They didn't seem to want to escape, so he untied her.

The three, too, were already familiar with the squad, and bragged about their achievements.

It seems like they are really adventurers.

But since they were from different countries, he had never heard of them. And since it was only at B rank, they were not famous enough to be known outside their borders.

They're capable veterans, after all.

「Oh, so is there a city ahead here? One made by a monster? 」

「Ya, yes! The first time we went there, they took us to my assurance! That's delicious!"

「At that time we were chased by a giant ant. My life flashes before my eyes! 」

「But as a result, we had to meet Rimuru-danna, so I'm glad that happened. 」

「Who will be Rimuru-danna?」

「Ah, city head! The city is mostly inhabited by hobgoblins.

And the one who rules over them all is Rimuru-danna slime! 」

"What's? Mucus has followers? 」

"Yes! Rimuru is a very cute slime! 」

「... actually, guys, are you sure we can reveal all this? Keep me away from that, okay? 」

「...., considering we brought them there, I see no reason to hide it.

In fact, wouldn't it be worse if they got the wrong idea and caused trouble? 」

「Ya ..." Don't come back again! "If they say that, I'll cry ..」

「We have not even entered the bath ..」

Whether because of carelessness or trickery, they answer every question you ask.

Youmu could not imagine any hidden motives.

But the city was a strange concept; how could it exist?

However, for a delusion, it was too detailed.

"ah! We have reached it! 」

Gido Class Thief exclaimed.

Youmu stepped forward to confirm. Far ahead, under the shadows of the trees, he could see the shadows of the city walls.

thas right. But that thought only added to his tension.

A city made by monsters. A concept that is difficult to accept quickly. But there he is.

Will he be greeted by a snake or a demon …?

Youmu flashed a fearless smile and continued towards the city.

＊ ＊ ＊

Showing Milim around town,

It's a much harder task than I thought.

If you've ever taken a child to an amusement park, you know how I feel.

If you look away for a moment, he's gone. That's what it feels like.

「Oii! Didn't I tell you not to run! 」

「Wahahahaha! Right here! What's this?!"

"Listen! Just listen to what I say! 」

「Wahahahaha! What's wrong? I'm listening?"

No, you're not.

Surprisingly he was excited, running everywhere.

When he met Gabil a moment ago,

「Ooooh !!! Dragonewt!

Ahahaha! Working hard?"

"Yes! I am the Dragonewt Gabil!

Who will you be? Midget!"

* buchi! *

He lightly kicked Gabil at the knee, and, after he lost his balance and fell down, he pushed his fist into his stomach.

Leaving one "Gofu!", Gabil was on the brink of death.

B-hey, wait a minute .. didn't he promise not to rampage …?

「Listen, stupid! I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll let you go with this.

Don't ever look down on me again! Seriously, who is short, who is .. 」

He said . Again and die, huh?

Scary girl, Milim! Or should I call him plain?

For Gabil's luck, he brought a pill for the restoration of the test product. Maybe head to Kurobee to ask.

But even with the middle grade pills, his body did not fully recover.

It's a fist that can shoot anyone. He might hold back too.

But now that it's come to this, I'm pretty sure the promise of not going berserk no longer holds.

Gabil limped away.

With a nod of kindness, Milim waved at him.

As if nothing had happened, though,

「Those people are so strong! What if I strengthen him a little more? 」

Please don't ask me that. I think .

「No, never! It is bad to bluff the weak! 」

「Mu? So .. bluffing the weak is bad! I know that!"

「O-oh. If you know that, then start now .. 」

I can only ask that much.

That is, I have no way to stop it.

With his emotions explosive, I can only pray that Gabil will be the only victim.

And like this I kept showing him.

He observed the manufacture of armor, and asked for a set.

She observes sewing clothes, and becomes a Goblin dress-up doll.

He observed the farm, and helped plow the fields. I've never seen someone hijack a field that fast.

And thus the day passed.

By the time night fell, everyone in the city had heard about the little despots.

Gathering the leaders in the dining room, he introduced himself.

「I Milim Nava! It was a pleasure!"

That's what he said.

「Hmm? Is not Milim the name of the demon king? 」

After spending the day training with Benimaru, Souei, and Hakurou, Shion muttered the question.

「Haha, what did they say? There can't be a demon lord here! 」

Benimaru laughed refusing his question.

It's bad . If this continues, we will experience another Gabil style tragedy.

I wanted to save the situation, but

「What kind of relationship do you have with Rimuru-sama? Have you become friends? 」

Souei asked.

Milim, who seemed to be about to explode a moment ago, was now fidgeting timidly.

With her face bright red,

「Um, well ... than friends .. we are close friends!」

「That's how, forgive my rudeness. I'm Souei. I am Rimuru-sama's loyal servant. Please take care of me! 」

As expected of Souei. Looks good and a fluent tongue fits.

Actually, Milim-kun. When did we become close friends?

「Umm, since when are we close friends?」

I asked timidly,

「Eh? We are not !? 」

Tears began to form in his eyes. Faster than tears, however, energy began to gather in his fists !!!

"Just kidding! We are really close friends! Friend Forever!"

I quickly added, avoiding danger.

Almost hit a landmine on his own. Not letting the gabil happen again.

"I saw! You are great at surprising people! 」

He smiled broadly.

A simple man. Simple, but hard to deal with.

Carelessness is forbidden from now on. I thought, achieving a new step of enlightenment.

Benimaru was still unaware of the situation. Need to warn him later.

Unlike Souei, he did not understand the heart of a woman at all. He's even worse at it than I am.

If he was not a handsome man, he would definitely be hated by everyone.

Fools always end up suffering.

The problem is, he will not survive the suffering caused by Milim.

The conversation ended as the food was brought out.

Milim happily started eating.

I also changed into my human form and took off the mask.

When Milim saw that, he,

"ah! So you're the one who killed Gelmudo! I saw!"

He said .

With a big smile on his face.

The other people present reacted differently. They looked at me, urging for an explanation.

I wouldn't be able to fool them, apparently.

When dinner ended, Milim looked ready to fall asleep.

So I told Shuna to take her to a guesthouse. I wonder if he would complain about the bed and such …

Say something like: "Not a bed, I want a tatami mat with futon!"

Well, can't give him what we don't have. I'll just hand it over to Shuna.

Then, I explained today's event to everyone.

「So ... It was really a powerful blow I took.

I saw my father calling me from heaven! 」

"What's? Looks like you're still out of it. Your father is alive! 」

"ah! Fine . How rude of me! 」

Putting aside Gabil's response, everyone was shocked.

Yeah, correct. A demon king appeared.

「But, as a note, I've promised not to rampage, so we should be fine, right? Right

When I asked,

「Actually, it's not like all monsters can't break a promise, you know?

While the Dwarf King did tell some of the truth, it had not been completely. 」

Kaijin answered.

Hakurou and the other oni nodded at this.

「Rimuru-sama, for example, I have no problem lying. 」

"I am also . Actually, I'm pretty good at it! 」

Souei and Benimaru added.

That mean?

"In other words…"

According to their explanation, only spontaneous-born monsters had trouble lying.

Those born to parents are not restricted. Moreover, what the Dwarf King meant was the case of "The Witch of the Oath other than swearing upon your existence".

I should not neglect to inquire about it from 『Sage Besar』.

While demons were completely restricted, normal monsters were not.

Thats why…

「Milim can lie at will?」

「That's what it means ..」

Hakurou nodded.

In that case, what should we do?

「However, he doesn't seem to intend to cause trouble, and, even if he does, we can't stop him, can we?」

I agree with that analysis. Even with all of us working together, we will fail.

"Good . Let's let her do what she wants, and if worst comes to worst, we'll have Rimuru-sama stop her. After all, they are close friends! 」

"""No object!!!"""

WHAT'S!!! Benimaru you !

By the time I thought it was too late. Policy “hand it to others” I used to do seems to come back to haunt me.

How else, I thought and sighed.

And thus, everyone came to believe that I was in charge of watching over Demon King Milim.

The first day of Hurricane Milim ended.
