Chapter 75: The Conference

Each member of each department gathered in a large meeting hall.

As for Ranga, I forgot that she was sleeping inside my shadow.

She is in sleep-conscious mode but can't move.

I can't measure his ability, but it's clear that he's going through some kind of evolution.

Well, he would probably run out if I ended up in a dangerous situation.

He was a bit uninterested in the conference but still listened.

I think it's time to start.

As I was thinking of declaring that the meeting had begun,

「I'm sorry for the interruption in the middle of the meeting!

Ladies and gentlemen, a guest has arrived.

Here about urgent issues and request a live audience with you .. 」

An alert soldier ran in and reported it.

Rigurdo was about to reprimand the soldier, but Kaijin calmed him down.

We haven't started yet, so it's okay. However, it was unsettling that people could easily enter here.

「Rigurdo, we need to see this later」

"City . I'm really ashamed of myself. 」

「Well, we just got an idea and everyone is working hard like this」

I answered, comforting him.

In fact, even if we find something less we just need to improve for later.

So it may be best to think about the long-term benefits.

I have a guest escorted here.

「A long time ago, Rimuru-dono.

We are here to help you as long as you need. We hope it's not too late 」

With these words, the Master Fuze Guild of the Brumund Kingdom Freedom Association came.

Fully armed, ready for battle.

Hm? Hmmmm?

If I think about it, how many, 10 days have it been since the 50 adventurers and merchants left?

And we asked them to pass on information and ask for help, I think.

I'm really grateful, but are they okay hanging out with us?

「I'm sorry for bothering you during your busy war preparations.

However, we find your defense lacking. The main power of the Kingdom of Pharmas has yet to arrive, right?

According to our intel, a total of 15 thousand troops will come.

While it can boost your morale, I hardly see this as a great time to have fun.

Although we may lack the ability, we will support you as best as possible 」

Clearly ready to die, he delivered this hot address.

Yes . It was very difficult to tell him that the war was over.

And continue,

「This is a good city.

Carefully constructed houses adorn your well-planned streets.

The paved road would not lose even to the Royal Capital.

I was surprised .

I don't want to turn it into a battlefield. I suggest we launch a surprise attack to quickly destroy the enemy's head.

We have heard the church support the enemy.

So, we have brought over 50 B rank and higher than the adventurers.

The state cannot openly support you. I hope you understand…

But the five of us will cut deep into enemy ranks and slaughter .. 」

The members of the department stared blankly at Fuze, who continued his passionate speech.

For us it was all ... was there, doing that kind of thing.

But I hope Brumund leaves us. To think they actually sent reinforcements …

Even though we have an agreement with them, there must be a way out …

It makes me happy.

But that's it.

「Yes. I appreciate the sentiment, but it's over 」

"more? Whatchu mean?"

「How should I say this …

In other words . In a few words, I destroyed them! 」

Even though he was speechless, his face clearly said "Huuuh?"

Youmu came to pat her on the shoulder and Cabal said something to comfort her.

Ellen and Gido say things like, "Excellent, right!"

Well, I guess so

I mean, it hasn't even been two weeks since they declared war.

They probably thought the army would take a week to get here, we bought two or three days of fighting in the fields, and, if the worst became the worst, hollowed out in the fort.

So when they arrived and looked at us cheerfully, they seemed to convince themselves that the army was too late.

Although we are very excited that they suspect something is wrong …

After all, thanks to Ellen and Cabal's explanation, they seemed to have understood the situation.

So, we asked our soldiers to escort fifty people waiting outside the – inn to relax.

Since it has come to this, I might as well ask Fuze to participate in the conference.

Although he could not represent the official position of Brumund Kingdom, he could at least offer a human opinion.

Let's start the conference! I want to say, but

「Umm, will you for a moment?」

Bester asked, raising his hand.

Did something happen?

"What's? Is there a problem?"

I asked, I asked,

"Yes . The thing is, we finished developing the magic item of the long distance communication ball …

Now it is possible to talk while looking at the other party 」

Hmph.

An incredible discovery, but why bring it up now?

I thought, but

「When I reported the incident to the Dwarf King, he told me that he had some things he wanted to say …

So since we are all gathered here, I think this might be a good time 」

I saw .

If that's the case, I don't see a problem.

「Best. I don't mind, but shouldn't the conversation be conducted in secret?

We have Youmu and the Association Chairman here, so is it alright?

If this is a private conversation, shouldn't we hold it later? 」

「Ah, not at all. The Dwarf King also wanted to mention a few things regarding future international relations …

When I told him about the conference today, he said that he would gather his Ministers also 」

「So they're waiting there?」

"Yes . That's 」

So ... we have never announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Dwarf Kingdom.

The two contracts we have are non-aggression agreements and technology cooperation agreements.

It would mean nothing if our country were no more. But now we have the advantage.

I believe that the previous events of great magnitude cannot be ignored.

If anything, we prove to be a country that can destroy and an army of 15 thousand people.

Will they officially declare diplomatic relations between us or perhaps seek to destroy us as the enemy of mankind?

「Bester, I have to ask, did you tell him that I have become a demon king?」

"Ah yes . I told him everything 」

Ah, as expected.

He should have only confirmed it this morning so for him to quickly gather the ministers just showed how badly he looked at the situation.

Well, if you were told that a Demon King-class monster created a city and evolved into a Demon King, you would definitely sweat a little.

He'll find out sooner or later. So this might be a good opportunity.

So at this point, continuing the conversation as-is probably won't cause any further problems.

I mean, when planning the next step, I want to hear his opinion.

"Understanding . Then bring the communication equipment and arrange it.

We'll be waiting for you and preparing for the emergency board

I declare.

It's a sudden development, but also a good opportunity.

After all, we are determining our future.

Therefore, we decided to hold a global conference instead of meeting now, scheduling it an hour away.

Right after relaxing, Fuze heard our conversation and with an incredible expression her face ran towards me.

And,

「Hey, didn't you just say something very important now?

I'm probably wrong, but did you just say that you became a Demon Lord? 」

He said, trembling.

Does he need to pee? No need to hold humans, we have bathrooms around.

「Hmm? Ah, demon king, right?

I became one, how about that?

But more importantly, before you pee on yourself, shouldn't you use the restroom? 」

"Are you an idiot?! There's no time for that!

Become the demon king, yo! What's up with that?"

From scratch? Not good if I don't explain it from the beginning?

Well, I did tell him that I exterminated the troops, but I guess I can't expect him to guess the rest.

I decided to summarize the event and explain.

So, I explained everything to Fuze.

「Impardon intrusion! Another guest is looking for an audience with Rimuru-sama.

How should we continue? 」

The same army as the last one asked.

What's up with that? Lots of guests today.

Leaving Fuze, who said something (grumbled) in the sky, I decided to meet this guest.

I headed to the room where the guest was waiting for me.

When I entered, I saw a beautifully dressed man and five men who had an atmosphere of experienced officers about them.

The man was sitting on the sofa with five officers standing behind him.

I can easily see that they are well trained.

The man sitting on the sofa had a good face and could easily become a model in his youth.

His narrowed eyes will be his trademark.

「Ah, good afternoon. Sorry waiting.

Nice to meet you, I am Rimuru, currently working as a King in this city.

I hope we get along well! Alongs

I greet them in a way that I think is appropriate.

Although I became a demon lord, I have no clue about manners or formality.

Nor does anyone around here know much about it …

Well, I think it would be fun to teach these things.

Upon hearing my greeting, the narrow-eyed man stood up.

And opened his eyes wide with Kuwa !,

「So you are the devil who has bewitched my daughter?

Do you say your prayers! 」

He said, starting to chant an extremely high burning spell.

Oi! This old man is crazy.

From what I see, it's the highest level spell he got there.

At this level of power would certainly cause damage to the city.

Obviously the spells used to fight the army.

What's wrong with this guy? I don't know what he's saying.

I cheated on his daughter? What's that about?

Right because I'm really confused, though,

「Wait, Papa! Why did you come here?!!!"

Ellen's coming.

And perhaps after realizing the incantation with just a single glance, he hit the man's head right on the head.

Sound “Suppaaaa!” A beautiful one echoed throughout the room, and the man regained his sanity.

It seems this old geezer is Ellen's father.

And after hearing Ellen's explanation, she finally calmed down.

He's a real bitch.

「My ~, A ha ha ha. Salah .

I had heard that my daughter was captured by the demon lord so I was quite panicked! 」

He said with a bright smile.

Even so, what was the point of preparing for the highest-level burning spell? What a silly father.

「No, Your Grace. Received report is correct but you jumped to the wrong conclusion 」

「I know, Papa is wrong here!」

People like secretaries and Ellen ganged at him.

It was a bit sad, but I didn't feel sympathy for him. He only paid for his own stupidity.

After everything calmed down, he introduced himself again.

Ellen's father, a slender-eyed man, was a high-ranking noble of the Witch Dynasty of Sarion, Duke Elalude.

He is related to the emperor, his uncle must be precise.

In short, he was one of the three higher-ups of Sarion.

I can't hide my surprise.

E-Ellen is really ojou-sama ?!

She could even be called a princess. To be an adventurer in that social status; he was too free.

I think those who stopped him were right, but I wouldn't do it myself.

I mean, he doesn't seem to care. There might be people protecting him from the shadows as well.

They do well so that information is not lost.

Though it may be the result of Cabal and Gido's hard work. Let's thank them later.

But now .

「So, is the purpose of your visit only limited to Ellen?」

That's not funny.

I glanced at Duke Enalude, though,

「Fufufu. Of course, that's not the case.

We are considering how we should treat your country from now on, so I came to see for myself.

No need to worry believe I am careless. This body is just a homunculus. 」

I watched his words.

To someone important from the Sorcerer Dynasty, his body stored very little magical energy.

Although the officers seemed real, the man's body was not.

As expected of a high noble. He's cautious.

But more importantly.

I want to learn how to make a homunculi later.

And that brings us to the next point.

We will have Duke Enalude participate in the conference as well.

An hour has passed now.

Time to start the conference.

Back in the big conference room I found everyone waiting for me.

I request that the Duke group be escorted to a set of empty seats.

It is probably best to start with self-introduction. That is, there are a lot of people here who have connections to major countries.

So, let's just get started.

First, we will ask everyone who is not from Tempest to introduce themselves.

The Dwarven Kingdom, the Dwargon military nation.

Representing them: their own king. Gazelle Dwargo's. Although it was only projected as in the image, its dignity was impossible to hide.

The small country of Brumund.

Unfortunately, we don't have anyone representing them.

However, we do have Fuze, Branch Leader of the Branch Freedom Association.

And, he was rather friendly with Baron Belouard.

Although he did not have a firm decision, his opinion should be a little weighty.

A sudden addition to our table, a high nobleman from the Witch Dynasty of Sarion.

Duke Egalude was an unkind father, but his current face was a stoic noble.

And, through his position in the council, he held control over the entire country.

So don't insult him.

As soon as he looked towards the guests, it was clear that many distinguished people had appeared.

Monsters that only meet can make us fall to the wrong conclusion. So, I am rather grateful that there are so many participants from the human side.

Next, we introduce all the members of Tempest.

And, it's finally my turn.

「Ah, correct.

There's one person I'd like to introduce to you.

Although you may have heard his name.

So please don't be surprised.

Now, forward! 」

I then started the introduction.

Knowing what was about to happen, Gabil gulped his saliva and stiffened.

The air in the room changed, and everyone fell silent.

And,

「Kuahahaha! I have been called and I am here !!! 」

I called Veldora through "Storm Dragon Release".

Using my clone as a base, he appeared as a beautiful young man.

Gave everyone a glimpse, though,

「This is my best friend, Veldora. Please be kind to her! 」

I introduced him, though,

「Veldora is her name, although I was called" Storm Dragon ". It's good to see you!"

Veldora greeted everyone.

Silence enveloped the room.

Nobody is moving.

And, with failure, Fuze and Ellen fainted, shouting "Yes !!" The group of Rigurdo and the hobgoblins fell prostrate in front of him …

Everything's getting very messed up.

Of course, the conference was postponed for a while.

… We haven't started yet, right .. I can't help but think.
