Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 64: Last Day in the Capital

Now that I can rest in peace with regards to the health of the children, I decided that it was time for us to return.

When I told Ramiris that we were going to go and turn around to do it,

"Wait on! Heeeey, wait! 」

He grabbed and pulled my collar.

Stifling feels really bad. Even if I don't need to breathe, it's not a pleasant feeling.

"What's? Chose fighting? 」

"I don't! I'm helping you, shouldn't you show gratitude?

Of course, your appreciation is quite grateful? But as fellow human beings …? 」

「Ah, salahku. I'm not human anyway! So ... I'm leaving! 」

I quickly reply.

「Uwaaaaa ~, wait, wait!

Hey, you know, we're in trouble!

Since you destroyed the golems we lost our guardian!

Look at us, we're all kids here! Very weak, you know?

BECAUSE THAT! We're in trouble! Can't you do something about that? 」

「…. . 」

Hmph.

Really painful. I can only say "You reap what you sow" but it's true that I'm the one who broke it.

Why do I have to vaporize it without a trace.

Although demon steel was excellent against demonic abilities, it, like every other metal, had a melting point.

So it's no surprise that it melted.

First of all, I did think that with 『Sage Besar』 - sensei, I would be fine; and that was the result.

I really have to drop the output a little …

Well, at the golem spot …

I could compensate them with demon steel, but I felt it would be worth it. Just imagining how much I had to give to make a golem whose size made me dizzy.

Hmph …

Should I make a human-sized doll and have a spirit have it?

OlSolution. Verified command Create: Golem. Possibly creation.

Abilities can be added through spirits or demons.

The outer appearance will suit your imagination.

Please specify the calling target when making the golem. ≫

How to go 『Sage Awesome』.

It seemed like it drew a corresponding spell from thousands of magic archives in an instant.

Relatively simple magic. The summoning magic that I first saw during the adventurer exam and have been analyzing since.

So, what I need to decide is whether to use demons or spirits.

The spirit, as indicated by previous cases, tends to be devoid of personality.

The demons? Frankly, although their names made them sound like a bunch of betrayals, they were nothing like that at all.

Thanks to the summoning contract, they could not betray the summoner. Well, as long as it makes sense.

Any request outside the original contract cancels it. Such actions testify that the parties involved are not satisfied with each other

But I guess it's wrong to call demons demons just because they're demons.

So, let's make a golem using demon steel and call us demons.

Frankly, I should be able to make items much stronger than any A-rank monster.

「I understand, I understand. You're noisy, Rami-chan.

Look, I'm gonna make you a guardian, so no more complaints.

As compensation, teach me a little about Ghost Researcher later on!

Kaijin's grandfather in my town was very curious about them.

He worked on the Ghost Researcher golem before! 」

「That's no problem, I'll tell you about them anytime! What kind of golem are you going to make? 」

「Hmm? Ah, which is stronger than I beat .. 」

「Serious ?! You ... You are so good! 」

"I guess . Oh, I'll make it, but you can't use it for evil deeds or anything?

I'll put the main key on it so that it can only be used for your defense! 」

"Alright fine! Doesn't matter! But we can play around with that here, right? 」

「Hmm? Ah .. as long as it's here. But don't go cause trouble, okay?

And by the way, according to my (Big Sage) prediction, it will become very powerful!

If handled badly there will be casualties, okay? 」

I said, and began to prepare.

I took the demon steel from my stomach and piled it up.

After swimming in my magical energy for a long time, the steel had excellent quality.

Kids, interested, swarming to watch.

「Dia–, from which you pulled it from ... I don't even know anymore ..!」

Ramiris starts to say something but gives up halfway.

By the looks of it, he gave up not only on the conversation …

When I was happy with the things I picked up, I started working.

Spreading my hand, I started chanting.

Given that there is an altar in front, this might prove dangerous so I had the children back off.

So only Ramiris is standing behind me.

Well, I hope it works, but I'll be happy as long as it doesn't go berserk.

I have used quite a lot of power to change spirits.

In response to my singing, a magic circle began to form on the floor. Oh and I don't really need a song, I just feel it fits the atmosphere.

From within the magic circle, a Great Demon appeared.

Kneeling before me, facing the ground,

「Have you called me, my great master!」

It says .

The Bigger Demon.

I don't know if there are any individual differences between them, but it's much more muscular than a lower demon.

Black, wearing expensive clothes. Gender is unknown. From both sides of his head, horns protrude.

By the way, do demons even have muscles? Ah, whatever.

"Yes . I've called none other than you.

I want you to have the golem I'm going to make.

Payments are my magical energy. Contract length is ... 」

I saw Ramiris for an answer,

"Hundred years! In a hundred years I will finally grow up! 」

That's what he said.

「Contract length is 100 years.

After that, you can save or throw it away. How about that? 」

Had I said something like "Beating the previous one!", his contract would have been cancelled. By the way, how troublesome is the length of the contract!

When near, I had to recharge his magical energy supply, and make sure he didn't try to reincarnate.

And as long as I keep this creature, I can't call the others.

But for now, I need it to protect the fairies here.

So let's explain to him his duty.

「That's simple, my great master! And I have received the payment. 」

Huh huh? The energy I use in calling is enough?

Well, he's been a while. But I have a lot of things to do.

After all, it seemed like calling her slowly was a good idea. As a result, he showed respect.

Had I offered a little energy in the process it might have tried to kill me – but that sort of thing could have been fixed with the right contract.

To be safe, let's make sure we call things right and make the right contract.

Other than the contract part, all that was left was the golem.

I started working on demon steel.

A doll should use round joints. That can't be avoided. But surprisingly, it came out as I imagined.

In my previous life, I was jealous of my friends who could make sculptures from scratch. Unfortunately, the best I can do is collect models.

But I have changed!

Thanks to the correction of 『Great Sage』, it came out as I imagined.

"What's being done?" Ramiris peeked over my shoulder, and started making a fuss.

「Wha! Whaaat! This is awesome! What skills!

You are truly amazing! Can you really make something like that move? 」

He's very excited. But even I, the creator, do not believe I can make it with such precision.

Chances are, the fact that I used pure demon steel allowed me to form it the way I wanted.

The larger demon looked from afar, after realizing that it was his body that was being made, showing a pleasant face of surprise.

Maybe ... I can't read the devil's expression well.

「Excellent, as expected of my master.

To be honest, in order to move the golem, all that was needed was to direct the magic energy into the compound.

If it was done, the golem would move. What an incredible body has been made for me! 」

Since he's happy, I think his body fits.

After considering the request of the devil and Ramiris, I finished the golem.

I made the face look like the mask I always wore; the golem was as big as a human.

Height 180cm to be exact.

For a large Great Demon it must look small, but I don't think that's a problem.

So, I managed to finish the golem.

The larger demons can have it without any problems.

By the way, the melting point for the rarest resources is about 5,000 degress. Demon Steel can withstand temperatures up to 9,900 degrees.

Furthermore, it can regenerate – in other words, this is great

So honestly, destroying this golem would prove to be very difficult.

"How are you feeling?"

"Yes . Great .. My overall strength has increased.

Compared to the incarnation of being a monster or a human, raw strength on the side, survivability was far superior.

He reported after verifying the body's ability.

To remain in this world, demons needed bodies; animals and monsters were often used for that purpose.

Instead, I gave her a magically created doll, but it didn't seem to cause any problems. Maybe he recognized her as a monster.

After investigating the body thoroughly, he faced me with his knees, and

「I hope to prove my usefulness to you with this body!

After I protect the fairies for a hundred years, allow me to serve under you! 」

Suddenly he said.

A hundred years from now .. whether I will live or not, I myself do not know.

「Will I live then?」

「Hahaha, good joke! What can a mere hundred years do to someone of your caliber, my lord?

If you only promise me this, I'll never bother you with another payment! 」

Even so, how long am I?

I don't know much about that .. ah, whatever.

However, he seems very attached.

Am I likely to be loved by monsters or something? Well ... name …

I don't have much energy left. Judging from the previous cases, high rank monsters would absorb a lot of energy.

And this was the Great Demon, and ranked high among them.

If anything, he was at least A-ranked, but with a body he was definitely at least A-ranked. So, considering all the demon steel I used to make the body, he was far above A rank.

Ah ... It should be fine, right? I still have more than 40%.

"Good! In that case, you will be known as Beretta from now on!

I'm accepting your loyalty! Your first job is to keep the Ramiries and the fairies for a hundred years.

I'm expecting your best effort! 」

I gave him a name like that.

Its beautiful shape reminds me of that famous weapon.

And then my energy was sucked out. But this time, I have endured it. Almost on top of empty.

This man, managed to absorb 30% of my own energy.

And after being named by me, he began to evolve.

It seems that the time until evolution begins is also getting shorter.

First he forms a circle, but then the chest, head, hips, arms, and legs are formed, along with a face.

Looks like a human.

People without gender. His expression was now hidden behind a mask and, instead of black skin, long black hair was now adorning his body.

His skin was pale, and not bleeding. As expected of a doll.

When the transformation began to stop, clothes appeared.

The eyes cut off on the mask glowed red. It seems evolution is over.

Now, I wander what abilities have been inherited from me? His appearance became very human-like.

It seems like the body was refined along with evolution.

And how beautiful that body is.

But, the expression that the mask hid was not a sympathetic creature, but a puppet of destruction.

Only death would await those who had seen his expression. For all, besides master, of course.

Beretta stood up, and once again bowed deeply before me.

「My great master. I'm the Beretta Doll's Ark.

Who lives and breathes to fulfill your desires! 」

And, after bowing again, he turned to Ramiris.

「As ordered by my master, I will protect you. 」

He stated.

Ramiris, as if overwhelmed by his presence, nodded timidly.

「Ah, yes! I'll be in your care! Protect us! 」

After regaining his composure, he said so.

So yeah? I guess it's a pretty good replacement for the golem.

At least twice as strong.

This much should fulfill Ramiris' request.

But it seems like I got carried away and used more demon steel than I meant.

When making it, I kept arguing about this and that, and ended up using too much material.

So remember, I'm having a hard time getting you, so you'd better be useful!

The kids fell asleep when I made the doll.

Their lives that were filled with tension and fear until now suddenly became relaxed.

They held on well until now, and were finally able to relax.

So, they slept well, using Ranga as a pillow. And if I think about it, even though I don't need to sleep, the kids certainly do.

As they say, You sleep well, you grow well.

So let's wait until the kids wake up. Until they do, I will also rest.

.

Therefore, after creating a protector for the fairies, we leave 『Rohingy』 Residence.

Children have gained passion, their bodies have stabilized — all problems solved.

Or so I think …

As per Yuuki's request, three months had passed.

I have discussed the future of my children with him many times.

We have considered Tempest taking over them, but think they need a better learning environment.

Moreover, they were currently in a school with many great lecturers. It was also a place where they could learn magic.

Moreover, they themselves have chosen to study here. They thought I was going to stay with them, so they cried when I told them about my departure.

"I'll come visit you for graduation!" I promised them.

Of course, we're going to have a party.

Although living next to the church could limit their freedom, as now, they would easily deceive the church.

Magic power no longer leaked, and it had stabilized around normal levels. People with the ability to analyze will also not be able to find it.

I once asked Yuuki about it once.

「At least, three years from now, when they think the children are dead and buried, they should be safe」

If they remain patient for three years they will be able to set out on their own.

For now, as long as they covered their faces with masks, there should be no problem.

Yuuki repeatedly asked me how I saved them, but I decided not to tell him.

To him, the children looked like ordinary civilians. And it should be.

Their current strength was being offset by spiritual energy; when it was balancing, they might acquire their own unique skills.

Unless another problem arises, they may not need to know about it.

Besides, they might not even get it. So I didn't tell the kids about it.

Ending problems with such children, I spent the rest of the time having fun.

For example, having a picnic, or hanging out with the three idiots.

My sales went well too, and when I had time I visited Myormiles, in the middle of the second month here, he warmly welcomed me.

Thanks to my growing ability 『Spatial Journey』 I can immediately move to a place I have visited before. This is much faster than the shadow step.

And using the gold I received from him, I bought some Magic Stones from Yuuki.

As such, our research will see some real progress soon.

By doing this and that, three months in the Royal Capital passed.

On the day I left for home, I left the crying children and the Royal Capital.

It felt short, but I stayed quite a long time in the human city.

Although the incident with the children was troublesome, I was able to bond with them as a result.

I never thought that I, being slime, could be friends with children like them.

And I make a lot of money with sales.

I once returned to the city to see many adventurers filling our streets.

So everything went well.

… No, everything is going well.

In this world, jealousy and jealousy, feelings of loser, creep into someone's heart when you least expect it.

I had planned to live without any such emotional feelings.

However, if you make a mistake in the data, you will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion. As 『Great Sage』 says, if the question is wrong, the answer will also be wrong.

If Tempest prospered, there were people who could make money from that failure.

I thought that I understood that fact, but I had no idea how much I underestimated them.

And the result …

「I've been looking for you, Rimuru-san!」

When I left the Royal Capital, a voice called out to me.

One of the men who worked for Youmu, the demon Grucius.

He struggled to regulate his breathing, running here nonstop.

From the looks of it, something has happened.

"What's wrong?"

For my question,

「Kingdom Farmas ... has sent troops to Tempest!」

The worst case scenario lies ahead of me.

"Happy events are often accompanied by terrible ones" so? Even so, this is a possible worst-case scenario.

I immediately decided to return to Tempest.

「Will you come with me?」

When I asked, as if something had happened to Youmu's group, Grucius gladly accepted the offer.

I started a quick transfer.

So, together with Grucius, we tried to transfer to Tempest.

Since being born into this world as a slime, I have lived as I have always wanted.

I have met and talked to several World Travelers.

While I was busy fulfilling trivial wishes, a huge storm loomed over my city.

So even though I succeeded, I also failed.

As a civilian like me, I have almost no practice in predicting the political intrigue of the country – then the result.

The wheels of fate revolve wickedly, bringing me closer to my destiny.

The era of peace has now passed, and the time of war has begun.
