Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 76: The Main Action

At one point, the conference area was in an uproar, but somehow it subsided.

Those who fell unconscious were treated, and those who desperately asked about Veldora were calmed down.

There were a lot of problems involving this and that, but I somehow managed to solve them.

Everyone panicked more than I thought. That's fucked.

As expected of Veldora.

There was not a single individual who was not afraid of the "Storm Dragon".

Well, if the "Castrop Class" monster suddenly appeared, it was natural for people to start panicking.

Even so, it would turn into a chaotic mess no matter what, so it was best to introduce it beforehand.

While making future plans from now on, I also have to think about Veldora's movements huh.

Humans, Fuze and Ellen, Youmu and the dwarves etc, have gotten me used to seeing their pale faces.

Even though I had suppressed it, they must have been affected by Veldora's demonic aura.

Every executive was ordered to suppress their demonic aura, and they were quite experienced with this.

After analyzing the barrier and simplifying it, one was deployed in the room.

After all, even in its sealed state, an ordinary B rank monster pales in comparison to Veldora emitting this demonic aura.

Even so, I have confidence that I can withstand his demonic aura.

I think it will be fine because my ability after evolution allowed that to happen …

「Is everyone okay? How are you all feeling? 」

What I hear is,

「...... I heard nothing about this matter. 」

「Wait a minute .. Veldora san is a friend? Can you tell me more about this? 」

「...... If I report this to the guild master .... wait, I am a guild master! 」

And so forth.

Suddenly I was pierced with grievances and a vengeful look.

Even if you say such a thing, nee?

TN Note: "Nee "here is something like "Nee" in "Desu yo nee .." I guess.

Accepting everything, even if I said such a thing, it would be hard to believe me right?

Besides, I shouldn't even be talking about this.

However, instead of being dumbfounded by the demonic aura, they were simply afraid of stiffening.

That Fuze, if I hadn't suggested she go to the toilet earlier, there would have been a leak.

How lovely! Ok?

I glared after patting her on the shoulder.

Since I was the one who gave him that advice, I thought he wanted to thank me, but it was probably something he probably wouldn't do.

Well whatever.

「Hm? I didn't tell you? I think I did, or maybe I didn't ……

Yeah, it was all in the past, so we're all okay now?

Put that aside, let's start the conference! 」

I said that with a refreshing smile on my face, but it was not well received.

「「 「DO NOT REMOVE IT EASY !!! 」」 」

They protested in unison.

Somehow, everyone calmed down and after an hour of delay, the conference continued.

………

……

…

About the opening topic of this conference.

While there are a number of topics, talking about small details as well when explaining something is a good way to save time.

With that said, the state of explaining in detail was also a request from everyone.

It was troublesome, but as if I was recovering, I started my conversation from my meeting with Veldora.

I also briefly touched on the subject about me being a "World Traveler. Because, at this point, I don't think there's any point in hiding that anymore.

You don't know where or when it will leak, so I won't be bothered with this anymore, now that it's revealed.

The demon king was a "World Traveler", therefore it was not something impossible anymore.

After all, the demon king Leon Cromwell was also originally a “World Traveler”.

Then, I quickly explained the fight against the Orc lord and also the reason why we built the city at this location.

Sharing information is important.

The one at the receiving end is disconnected and displays all sorts of different reactions.

So, I moved to talk about my expectations when I went to the human city.

I missed my daily life in the city, but I did talk about my struggles with Hinata.

He's a dangerous man.

If anyone other than me wanted to fight him, they would definitely be killed.

"The barrier to purification (Sacred Barrier)" was an extremely dangerous skill.

Regardless of the barrier, he might have something to use against a single target.

Among those I share my knowledge with, I telepathically pass on pictures to executives to make sure they don't forget.

「Hinata Sakaguchi Yes. That woman, she looked ruthless at first glance, she even gave a strong impression of being a cold-blooded killer.

Yet…

Helping those who reach for his hand, ignoring the advice,

It is based on the information we collect.

For example, for those who depend on him, I believe he helps them.

Help those who reach for his hand, ignore the advice, and this person seems to have no partner.

That's why, the problem of his treatment of children, I don't believe. 」

This was what Fuze said when she interjected.

Good, this old man is a well-rounded person.

He helped the people who grabbed his hand, but the people who ignored and did not listen to his advice never saw him again, it was the type of girl he was.

There were many who came looking for his help, yet he ignored their request for help, He's an idiot.

If his character was similar to a rationalist, then it was no wonder that he would do such a thing.

That's what it feels like, though,

「Hmph-deep. In order to be good at manipulating information, as expected of the head of the Free Branch Association guild.

The accuracy of the information you collect rivals that of ANBU information in my country.

This information perfectly matches the one I have 」

TN Note: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Anbu

Saying that, the dwarf king Gazelle nodded.

What does this mean?

「However, that person wouldn't listen to my story at all? 」

「About that, probably because Church doctrine forbids interaction with monsters.

And his cruel behavior, his cold actions were known, he never broke any rules.

He was actually the most exemplary knight.

That was why he was called the "Captain of the knight guard division who worked directly under the pope".

To name it a derogatory term like a ruthless killer, you think of its true nature.

However, the information I obtained was based on his appearance in public. 」

Fuze answered my question, and the dwarf king nodded.

His widespread reputation was something unexpected.

No, the information regarding the strongest knights of the western religions was certainly a matter that the entire country was doing.

However, if that is the case ……

Raphael could find the answer.

Who does the act of calling the children.

I know about this issue, and I am in a position where I can tell him about it.

Relevant person, there is only one person who is absent.

Unbelievable, I don't want to believe it ……

But according to Raphael's reply, there was no doubt about it.

Anyway, this issue was postponed.

We decided to continue the conversation.

.

From the point where I fought with Hinata, I proceeded to talk about the city being attacked.

At this point, Ellen intervened, and tried to stray from the topic of my evolution into a demon lord ……

But he exposed her instead.

「In addition, Papa already knows it right? 」

Asked, Duke Enalude looked up after hearing this.

「Ellen chan ……

Although Papa already knows it, there is no need to say it to people from other countries ... 」.

******* featuring is also mixed from Duke Egalude.

I understand how you feel.

Among those who neglect adult work, Ellen is worse off. But because of that, there is no need to be careful anymore.

After taking over the position, he was informed of the original information about the evolution of the demon lord.

Now, a series of explanations have been completed.

However, when I try to shift the topic towards future plans and actions, I,

「I will say this before.

Regarding the events this time, we from the Magic Dynasty Sarion plan to wait and see.

Even so, regarding the well-executed purge of my daughter's civil actions, I will not push any further.

However, if it is determined that your actions are determined to be unfavorable to our country, we will destroy you.

I'd like you to consider your future actions based on this. 」

No longer had the face of an idiot old man, but the high nobility of the dynasty, he now had the look of a politician.

As expected of someone with dignity.

His words have moved executives. Everything stopped when Shion stood up, and everyone fell silent in a hurry.

Really, a very angry man.

He's getting serious. I also became serious, and decided to respond.

First, we talked about the things about the arrested King Farmas and the messengers of the church.

So, for the future, we will crown Youmu as king, and a description of the plan aimed at building a new kingdom has been given.

While listening to his explanation, Fuze grumbled.

I paused for a moment, thinking about what I just said, gathering my thoughts.

The dwarf king remained silent, and I closed my eyes.

The ministers around the king seemed to be actively giving their own opinions, but their votes did not get here.

Duke Enalude remained silent and did not say a word.

Explanation continues.

First we release the current king, to make him compensate for his efforts to attack the tempest.

This is only nominal, but using this compensation, we will allow the kingdom of Pharmas to fall into a state of civil war.

In fact, if the king gathered his nobles and tried to fight back, his life would be lost at that moment.

Keeping his promise, breaking away from the throne, was only a matter of compensation that would be left behind in the end. It was impossible for the nobles to pay obediently.

I can imagine the king's son currently being a puppet of nobility because he is not yet an adult.

There was no unity within the faction, once the influence of the king was lost, disputes for succession would inevitably ensue.

Here, if they decided to pay the compensation, Youmu would be the one to escort them, but this was impossible.

I feel they will ignore the compensation.

When this happens, Youmu can oppose it, and because of their belief, the flow of these events will lead to a coup.

Since the king has broken his promise, it will be your point of view.

The only difference is at what stage Youmu will carry out his rebellion

After Youmu establishes his new kingdom, his kingdom and our Tempest will establish official diplomatic relations.

Then, we hope to prevent the nobles from uniting to fight back.

After some time has passed, he will announce a policy that will gain the trust of the people. When Youmu's popularity was high, he would crush the nobles with a single move, this was this kind of strategy.

You should not think about short-term strategies when setting up a country.

Oh well, if the king is foolish enough to think about rebellion once again, Youmu will ascend the throne immediately.

When I explain this,

"I saw. Why don't we make this plan happen. Marquis Muller and Count Hermann were on good terms with Burmund.

If you are involved with the plan, you want to rely on it.

During Youmu Dono's rebellion, let's negotiate to get them to turn around and support us. 」

That's what fuze said.

I wonder if the guild master of the Freedom Association branch has such authority?

Sensing my speculation, he gave an explanation.

In short, both Marquis Muller and Count Hermann were under the protection of King Burmund.

Marquis Muller is a distant relative of King Burmund, the two are actually on good terms

Moreover, Prince Hermann was the protege of Marquis Muller, so treason seemed impossible.

Since he was a Marquis of a great country, they did not seem to show any intimacy when it came to each other, but behind all this they were actually close friends.

Can you unlock such a secret?

"Ha ha ha. Even if you call this a secret, I've already leaked this secret to the dwarf king's subordinates at ANBU. My Kingdom, the Kingdom of Burmund is the kingdom of information, where Intel is sold.

That's because we're a very small country, we'll soon be destroyed if we don't organize such information.

However, based on the ANBU of the Dwarf king alone, we do not yet understand the full picture.

Don't you? His Eminence Gazelle. 」

The Dwarf King Gazelle only raised his eyebrows and showed no further reaction.

However, this made me realize that they did have information regarding such things.

Even so, though,

「Although so, Fuze. Can you share such information easily?

Even if they are not at the state secret level, isn't this still important information? 」

「Hm? I don't mind you knowing. I'm the one who checks it, and more than anything, I can choose to share it with whoever I want. 」

That's what he said.

It was quite surprising, this was something that happened before the break and he looked ready.

This small kingdom was very careful about their footsteps, and this was proof of how much they trusted Fuze.

He himself said that he had in his hands some information that could put an end to Burmund and the others.

I was going to kidnap this person and get information, was a secret thought that flashed through my mind for a moment.

Duke Enalude who had been listening to our entire conversation suddenly said,

「You Sir, are you an idiot? To start leaking our country's secrets!

Say that you are vigilant .... Don't be silly! 」

I'm pretty angry at him.

But instead Fuze said,

「Frankly, Duke Enalude.

If our country is at war with the Tempest country of Rimuru-dono, we will be annihilated instantly. We have concluded that resistance is futile. Then what should we do?

We avoid war. To that end, we are not reluctant and will cooperate to the fullest extent of our capabilities.

This is the conclusion of my country.

Originally, I was a member of a freedom association and not a state property, so what you said was quite funny.

Well, it was unlucky that I also sat in the sorting department for information outside of my position as an associate member. 」

I swear while muttering, why would such a person do this role.

But speaking honestly, um, well, maybe they're short on staff?

I myself rivaled the entire army, so they took the threat of the demon lord very seriously. Instead of fighting each other, combine forces.

It's logical.

Gathering information may be the strategy of small countries living in the shadow of large countries.

"Additional.

The fact that Rimuru-dono evolved into a demon lord had caused a commotion among the higher-ups. If they hear about the revival of "Storm Storm" ……

Even if they don't ask about it, this is brought up predictable. 」

This is what Enalude explained to Fuze.

In short, revealing her hand would not cause the slightest pain to her.

Instead, he told us everything, perhaps judging that doing this would help gain our trust.

Is this good or bad. Right or wrong.

Such things are not important here, it seems like Fuze's intuition is all directed aggressively to get along with me.

While this may backfire and destroy their country, they conclude this is the only card in their hand they can deal with in order to survive.

They are a bit too scared of me, but when you think about it, I am an opponent who has eliminated an army of 15,000 elites. There is nothing a small country can do about it, no matter what strategy they use.

This is outrageous indeed, but in a sense, this is the only legitimate option they have.

At least it's effective for me.

Therefore, further explanation continues.

「At the same time, we also interact with the church.

We have judged that for the sake of our own defense, it is impossible for us to officially acknowledge the "Monster" monster country.

Doing this would be unacceptable according to the teachings of the church.

However, it was clear that a small country could not hope to have enough combat power to subdue the demon lord.

The Church has no right to criticize us, but they must be obliged to help us.

Even if we officially recognize the monster country "Tempest", diplomatic relations are not solid.

This point will be emphasized during the conference to hold the church.

In any case, should the church seek to lead the crusade ……

Even if we are called cowards, we will just wait and see.

We will stand with the winning side.

Oh, and this is what the higher-ups think, please don't think badly of this. 」

I'm seeing.

Then there's no problem.

On the surface he stood neutral, but he was actually secretly supporting Youmu.

The struggle of small nations.

「However, as the kingdom of Dwarves, we have decided on a bold policy.

Our country, has decided to officially establish diplomatic relations with “Tempest. 」

With these words, the area was filled with uproar

If the armed Dwarf superpower officially recognized this nation, it would have a profound impact on the world.

"Are you serious……?!"

Fuze also appeared silent.

Dwarves are considered to remain neutral.

That's what I think too.

「Hm. This is a decision that also has its advantages.

The Kingdom of Farmas is the only country that sells our goods legally.

Good customers from which we derive most of our tax revenue, but I don't know which country they sell their goods to.

At this point, a highway has been developed between our country and Tempest.

By walking the journey will take 1-2 months, with the train only takes 2 weeks.

The new trade route has been completed.

There is no reason not to use it.

Moreover, if you think about it on a military point of view, their military might not be inferior to the eastern empire.

Furthermore, the damage from the monster attack was gone.

And most importantly……

This is my judgment as king.

I have faith in the demon lord Rimuru, that's all. 」

O-oh.

At that moment Fuze looked like he had gotten a direct hit.

With the entire area shrouded in silence, the only sound was flipping through the pages as Veldora read through the comics.

TN Note: Veldora, the dreaded storm dragon in the Great Jura Forest, read the comics during the conference ... where did he even get the comics?

Huh, wait! Old man, what are you doing !!!

Well, whatever, anyway, he can't listen to us.

If you leave us quietly, we won't complain.

「It, it really …

That was really a bold strategy, wasn't it, the dwarf king. 」

Fuze looked at him carefully, though,

「Hmph-deep. The action I took has nothing to do with you. 」

He said, as if trying to cut it.

However, if this is the case, what happens?

Our country and the Dwarf country officially have diplomatic relations now.

As the center of commerce, Tempest will shine because of it.

The inhabitants of this monster city might be a problem, but getting acquainted through conversation was possible.

Instead, there was no doubt they could get along. This has been proven.

The main problem is ……

「Fufufu. The problem is western religion, right?

I can also report important topics back to its majesty.

He said that diplomatic relations with the new country were possible.

Although there was not much distance between us, there was a forest that was disturbing.

Of course, regarding highway development and tree felling, I can leave it to you, right? 」

Duke Enalude had said such things after careful calculations.

If the highway is developed …

It is possible to have diplomatic relations with the Sorcerer's Sarion Dynasty.

Moreover, this path would also be connected to the Dwarf Kingdom.

For passing products, there are also direct import benefits.

However, the most important fact was, various technologies such as Magic techniques and spirit techniques would flow into the tempest.

If this can become a reality, highway maintenance is just a cheap price to pay.

So, the calculations appear to be correct by Fuze's brain.

"I have an idea!

I will go back first to show them the situation, and issue a policy to profit from this! 」

And that was what he said, but the king and the duke had an indifferent view on them.

On the other hand,

「Hmpt. This is just some insect nonsense. 」

"Rubber. Diplomacy and decisions take precedence over others. 」

Both scold him.

「Yeah, you two are big countries, it must be good to have authority ...」.

Fuze regretted that he was a man in a sad position.

「I understand, I understand!

I will also convince the boss. Jesus, why should I play this role .... 」.

That's what he screamed while tearing.

In other words, they recognize the Tempest of the country, and also establish diplomatic relations with us simultaneously.

However, he was not the one who spearheaded this. It was the dwarf king who declared this first.

Thus, the rest of the meeting was used to clarify the small details of the agreement.

The situation seems to be moving faster than I had anticipated.

When the meeting will reach the end, and each representative will leave for their home country, he said,

YAAAAAAAAAAAAM !!!

The door flew open and someone entered.

Followed him,

"Listen! This country (Prahara), will be destroyed! 」

Such a thing was said by a little girl – One of the great demon kings, "Maze princess", Ramiris-chan.
