Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 52: The Journey

Myulan's demon was relieved to finally be able to report.

He had left his best friend and the cruel Demon king behind the city that they had to monitor, but, this was something completely beyond his expectations.

It surprised him that the weak little slime was the head of the city, furthermore, Milim's behavior was also something he could not understand.

The way a demon lord thought was something that ordinary people would never understand.

On the contrary, wasn't that particular Demon King a little, no, relatively eccentric?

On a cultural level, it seemed that the demon lord had made friends in the city they were monitoring.

What's more, the fact that the city chief is slime that can take the form of a masked person is also reported.

To be safe, the fact that Milim was living in the city was not reported.

I don't think he will do anything that would break the agreement between the demon lords.

But, given the fact that I can't understand what Milim is thinking, I have to be very careful.

We definitely can't use magic in front of Milim.

I judged that communication magic or magic in general, would be directly detected by Milim.

If he doesn't know my identity, there's a chance he won't make a move.

This is the kind of thing you report.

「So .. I can use this. Good work, please keep monitoring them. 」

Clayman said this happily, seeming to have found something.

But this has nothing to do with Myulan.

As a garrison shaman, he served as an officer.

(Stupid human. I'm a demon, but they don't suspect it.)

Although he looked down on them, talking to them for some time stirred up strange emotions in his heart.

(I'll let it go for a while. I want to enjoy these moments a little longer.)

He made such a wish unconsciously.

Therefore, he returned to work without worrying too much.

.

Demon Grucius, now a member of the border garrison, followed his platoon as they advanced into the forest.

To a beastman like him, horseback riding was a mere child's game.

Therefore, he naturally stood out in the team.

Even when he held back his true abilities, he could not possibly lose to a human.

Therefore, he was offered the role of vice-captain for one of the three platoons.

However, he refused to state that newcomers should not hold such positions even after the platoon commander insisted.

Although he drew attention to himself, as long as he maintained his current situation, everything would be fine. That's what he believes.

However, what he was interested in was the group of goblin wolf riders following them.

The Star Wolf strangely evolved and its rider was a hobgoblin.

As if they were a skilled team, even their breathing was synchronized. This shows a high level of proficiency.

Above all, the one known as Gobuta is the best among the hobgoblins.

Based on his intuition, the best course of action was to kill him at sight.

Grucius rolled his tongue.

Originally, he had only planned to invite an Oni, but in this situation it was highly likely that there were many other talented people.

There are a total of 100 Goblin wolf riders, and each of them has the talent I want at all costs.

Among them were captain Rigur and vice-captain Gobuta.

Both of them had an incredible presence above the others.

There are also others, such as the Dragonewts that I see from time to time. They will also be good soldiers with some training.

The Orc Pioneers, they were not much alone, but actually shone when together in a group.

I heard they were led by an orc lord named Gerudo, but I haven't seen them around the city.

I heard he was always out transporting goods, but he was most likely a strong individual.

(What do you know, I'll be damned! This town is crazy! If I make a move, all of this war potential will be ours!)

In fact, when I take a closer look at Oni, they are the same as me or even above me.

Although he was the weakest among the servants of the Beast King, this was still clearly something abnormal.

Well, it's okay, right? More fun like this!

Having a strong friend is a good thing. Even if we fail, having a strong enemy is also desirable! Thas right.

We, the Beastmen, are a race that thrives in battle. A strong enemy is something we welcome.

Therefore, while pondering how he should invite them, he continued the Border Garrison's duties.

＊ ＊ ＊

YAHHOO ——- Nice!

I was very satisfied with the feeling of spaciousness after a long time.

When I was in town, I had to pay attention to what I was saying, my mind felt like it was going to explode.

So, I left all the trouble in the city to the two Oni.

But, Benimaru says this himself:

「Please leave everything about the city with us both Oni, we will be able to achieve anything!」

That's what he said. I'm sure he'll make it.

Ranga had been on guard the entire time, but there were no visible signs of movement. Now it's Souei's turn to take over guard duty. _

He's the one who's not sleeping, Souei.

By making clones, he could sleep in turns. Although it was certainly a useful ability, I did not want to tell him that he should sleep.

From the looks, nothing showed their true colors.

To me, even though they seem unrelated to Milim, they may be acquaintances.

Since this cannot be handled carelessly, we have to monitor it closely.

Unfortunately, they did not seem to move at all.

If that's the case, then all we can do is stay alert. Since I can immediately return to the city with 『Shadow Step』, I decided to leave the city for a while.

Or rather, I speculated that once I left, they would start moving. Milim had also just left, so they had to move now.

I was alert while thinking about this, but after my first day of going out of town nothing happened at all.

After 3 days passed, I started to think that I might be overthinking things.

They also seem to be quite strong.

"Send me!"

And because he said that I entrusted him to lead the way.

After hearing that, I now enjoy the feeling of spaciousness after such a long time.

I took this route because the road had not been developed.

After I got off the road, I followed the animal trail.

Is this true?

If that's not enough, we advance through a variety of different routes. However, there was a veteran here, so I handed it to him.

Even though she has a crying face, let's trust her.

Besides, it's not the first time he's been here.

A moment later,

「Oi oi, we're not actually lost, are we?」

I said it as a joke.

"Ha ha ha . There's no way we're lost here .. 」

His words became strange, everything was fine, wasn't it?

「Oi! This is no joke. You're lost, aren't you! ”

3 Look at each other,

「「 「WE ARE VERY SORRY !!!」 」」

And they apologized.

After all, it seems they got lost while trying to take a shortcut. Are these people really professionals?

Well whatever.

I lead them back to the road, which they know.

We passed the Illusion Flower field in full bloom, which might be the cause of our getting lost. I didn't tell them.

「How can we get lost in such a place ....」.

「I may have lost a bit of confidence ...」.

「I'm overwhelmed, if you professionals appreciate the road more and follow it then maybe we won't get lost. 」

They looked rather pitiful, so I told them about the Illusion flowers.

「That's the purpose of the B rank harvesting mission!, It's quite difficult ya know!」

Ellen stated enthusiastically.

Aside from being the material for magic items, it was also a fairly rare flower.

After a lot of trouble, we went back to pick up some. We managed to pick 40, and split it up to 10 per person. Perhaps, I could understand its usefulness by keeping it in my stomach for analysis.

About a week of time had passed, and we finally arrived at the forest exit.

Of course, but I wonder how much less time is wasted if I take the number of days spent on lost.

Well, there's no need for me to hurry for this trip. On the contrary, the journey is much more enjoyable.

Well, the slime body can't get tired, but I have to keep it clean, so I asked Ellen to use 〈Smitch Cleaning〉.

Since Ellen used 〈Cleaning Magic〉, I learned it.

When I tried to use it, my magic strengthened the effect of the spell, clearing everyone in the process. Thanks to that, the trip was more fun than usual.

Starting a fire was easy, and I stayed up all night like curfew.

「RIMURU SAN! LET THE ADVENTURE BE TOGETHER FOREVER !!! 」

Ellen exclaimed this emotionally, but as usual, I refused.

If this was before I met someone, it would be a good idea, but I am the head of a city now. I can hand over the government to others, but I cannot let it go unnoticed.

By the way, if one day my presence is no longer needed, I will think about the offer.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind — Even if I received it, this would depend on whether he was still alive back then or not.

I wonder, how does this Milim feel? To be an important friend, just to support them, would I choose loneliness?

I don't know

At the moment I don't have enough experience to determine that.

.

I let go of my grief, and we went to the street.

Our destination is the small country of Brumund. This particular country was so small that all the nobles were feudal lords of the village. It was really just a country consisting of the capital of his kingdom.

I was being led by a trio to the city that housed the Brumund Freedom Association Branch.

However, the capital was the only major city and in the fort city was located the Brumund Freedom Association Branch.

We had arrived at the first village earlier than expected, and the train departed as scheduled.

We arrived at noon, and had lunch at a restaurant.

It seems like the traffic is not jammed because this is a small country, which is always fun.

「Listen to me, I'm Mighty Axe, WAARGH ~ and with one swing, I kill this guy!」

「Wow ~ As expected of Biddo san!」

「Biddo's brother, this is a powerful monster isn't it? You mean you killed him yourself? 」

「More or less, a single horned bear is not suitable for me!」

When we heard the conversation, we peered at the horned bear they were talking about.

The main subject of the story, the horned bear, made me almost spit out all the food in my mouth when I saw it.

It was just a horned rabbit horn embedded in the bear's forehead, placed on the floor as if it was a monster corpse.

The bear was not a monster but rather classified as an animal, but it was difficult to tell the difference.

Fortunately I have the ability to analyze, without it, I would not be able to tell the difference.

The obvious way to tell the difference is whether the "magic stone" falls or not. Even so, to ordinary people it was only cruel because it was so rare.

Even if it did not drop the "magic stone" because it became a beast, who knew how many of those beasts would be killed before people realized that they were beasts, not monsters.

Well, even though demonic energy was seeping from monsters, it would still be somewhat difficult to judge. In the end, due to my high skill level, I was able to come to this conclusion.

「Oi, the people in that corner are all proud of that fake horned bear, aren't they just like ants?」

"Huh? A phoney? You've seen the trick ?! 」

"of course! The horn of a horned rabbit, welded by magic .. 」.

「As expected, you saw it?」

「No, Danna. The purpose of this person is not to show off. If they take this to the king, they might become heroes of this village! They did this not to protect the village, but to fill their stomachs and stay in luxurious inns. 」

I saw .

I understand the explanation of the guild members. In short, they are fraudsters. The world has so many types of scammers that it becomes a profession.

I plan to leave after exposing them, I,

「Oi oi, wait a minute! You just accused me of being a fake! Fooling me, I hope you are prepared for the consequences? 」

I wonder why all fools have good hearing. Besides, they even decided to fight while I was still unemployed …

You even believe in such a fraud …

「Hah, isn't that Cabal-san ....」

「Ellen-san is also here!」

「Isn't that person there Gido!」

Upon hearing these words, people instantly flooded the dining room

「Wha, what is this .... the three of you are terrible, you should have given me a shout if you come back!」

「Who are you, have we met before?」

「Oh come on, I may look messy and tattered right now, but this is me biddo! I received guidance from you in the capital after a fight, this is my biddo! 」

Well that was unexpected.

This group of 3 (idiot), is unexpectedly famous.

They seem to know fraud to some degree, but others seem to appreciate all three.

It's a little strange that they don't seem happy even though they're respected.

But, the biggest surprise for me was the fact that these 3 were actually famous adventurers.

They are especially notable for their recent sudden rise in prominence.

…… Even so, it's because they brought with them monsters from my city with them during the mission, that's why they were able to perform so significantly well …

I looked at the 3, and they threw their faces away in panic.

I will not urge them on this matter.

It might be something they didn't want to mention to the people here.

Even so, even if I don't touch on this matter, it's still there.

"Do you understand now?"

"""OF COURSE!!! WE WILL DRIVE YOU TO CAPITAL! EVERY STEP OF THE WAY !!! 」」 」

Then everything's fine.

The journey ended smoothly even after such a thing happened.

So, we arrived at the royal capital of the small country of Burmund.
