Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 83: The creation of the Octagram

The red-haired demon lord stood up right after I devoured the Clayman.

「Excellent, from today onwards you will be recognized and known as the demon lord. Is anyone against this? 」

Of course, there was no such objection, I had already been accepted as a demon lord long before this.

I feel relieved. To be honest, when I antagonized another demon lord and had a fight I thought I would die; it was an act of suicide!

「I believe that Rimuru is a man who can get things done when needed! If you like, I'll let you be my follower. 」

「Ah, I'm fine. Go find someone else to follow you. 」

「What's with it !! What's wrong with following me? !! 」

Ramiris pleads.

In addition to that,

「Fufu! You want to hang out with Rimuru because she's my friend, right? 」

「Eh !? The lies! * Choking *! Rimuru's a lie, right? 」

「Wahahahaha! Your Ramiris is so unpopular! 」

「What is it?! Hiya! 」

Saying those words Ramiris performed a beautiful flying kick towards Milim's face but Milim swiftly dodged it.

I looked at the two, amazed.

「Funny. I don't want to admit it, but there's no other way. This madam would not forget her grudge against the evil dragon there.

But oh well, I'll admit it today. If you survive the next Great War, I'll play with you! 」

That's what Ruminas said.

Since I was glared at with bloodthirsty eyes, I thought this bishojo would be a difficult one, but it seemed like everything was fine.

「We agree to this, aren't we parents (Dagruel)? 」

「Umu, yes we did. I don't have to oppose this. 」

TN Note: this is like "hm ..." but the Japanese variant.

Dino and Dagruel have also given their approval.

The matter that the two were talking about was definitely something big. Looks like they tried to protect me a moment ago, they were good people.

「Fu, I'm not interested in who became the demon lord or anything. Do as you please. 」

Leon said that, cold as usual.

Now, there are two individuals left.

Thinking of this, I stared at Frey and Karion. Frey noticed my gaze and looked back at me as if she was measuring me.

"That's good? We are in the middle of a party, and I would like to make a request instead of a suggestion but is that okay? 」

And such words are spoken.

The Ruminas waiter had arranged the round table that I kicked back to its original position.

There was a big piece of the table that broke, but I didn't see it. If you pay attention to it, you will lose.

It seems that the compensation for this round table will be pricy.

The demon lord sat around the round table.

During the meeting, two maids came to prepare tea.

Frey started talking after everyone calmed down.

「First of all, there is no objection to receiving slime (Rimuru) as the demon lord.

My proposal is different from the topic.

… No, it's not always irrelevant.

After witnessing the battle earlier, I was certain - As a demon lord, I was too weak.

Even when I fought Clayman, we were just facing each other.

If it was an aerial battle, I would have an advantage .. but this is no excuse for the demon lord.

I have decided to become Milim's subordinate.

Milim is also very dangerous, not someone who should be left alone.

I may be inferior as a demon lord, but my ability in battle is worthy.

What do you think, will you accept my proposal? 」

Saying this, Frey looked at Milim and Guy.

It's not about him being weak …

In contrast, Clayman is the impulsive type, like a tactician. Thinking Frey would rely on tactics made them have a strange feeling in their gut.

Well, I wonder if it's because she's the scary type of woman that makes this even stranger.

Just before Milim could respond to the proposal, the,

"Wait a minute. If that's the case, there are things I want to say as well.

I have also lost Mirim because of my bloated ego.

I intend to step down as a general.

What if there's an emergency, or maybe a Hero shows up? Gave this loser the name of the arrogant demon lord right?

That's why, from today on I will become Milim's subordinate.

Nice to meet you, General Milim! "

Right now, they did not even bother to check the other party's intentions.

Milim had no subordinates in the first place. Therefore, there was nothing stopping Milim from getting subordinates …

This then makes me wonder, what will happen to the subordinates of the two Demon Lords?

「Wait a minute, Karion! Claytard's bad for his negligence!

I was controlled by him so I knew about such things! 」

That might not make sense.

While that reason was still not accepted, I thought of Milim.

The other demon lords had shocked expressions on their faces in response to that carelessness.

「You , don't pretend not to know and lecture others. A moment ago,

『Maybe impossible for him to dominate me』

『I am good at freeing myself from such things. 』

Or something like that, right? 」

A good imitation of Milim's voice is used to re-speak his dialogue.

Guy turned out to be very skilled.

"No! That, about it .... 」

「Well, it doesn't matter what happened to that muscle brain idiot over there, are you okay Milim? 」

「To, to have the courage to say such a thing! When talking about subordinates and servants, can't you speak so casually? Didn't we also do the trick together !? 」

Hearing Milim's words, his head trembled,

「No, if you want, we can work together. Besides, wouldn't it be more fun together? 」

And so, an incitement began.

As you can see, this is a place where you can't be careless.

Well, Karion is Karion,

「Don't worry about that, but you obliterated my country!

You too, have an obligation to take care of us! 」

Smoke started rising from Milim as he tried to understand the difficult words.

He's more cunning than I am.

The milim who could no longer understand its meaning were now inches away from losing consciousness.

Finally,

「Eeeiii !!! Bodo time! Do as you please! 」

The smoke coming out of his head was akin to a volcanic eruption, and he stopped thinking.

As expected of Milim

He looks smart, but he's not good at thinking.

"Ha ha ha. All righty! Then today and beyond, Karion and Frey are no longer demon kings.

You should have already served Milim from the beginning of 」

Guy said so while laughing.

No one present voiced objections. Naturally, I don't mind either.

So, my Ascension as a demon lord has been officially approved.

At the same time the three demon kings were expelled, one was granted eternal death, and the other two were now Milim's direct subordinates.

The current Ten Great Demon Kings to the Eight Great Demon Kings.

「So, this is not the Ten Great Demon Kings anymore.」

In response to my murmur, the demon lord reacted restlessly.

「Bothering yes. For the sake of our dignity, we must think of a new name 」

Dagruel had brought up such a problem.

Eh? Is this a matter of such importance?

「Luckily, we are in the middle of Walpurgis Banquet. All the demon lords were gathered here, so there was a lot of wisdom floating around. 」

Ruminas make Aizuchi serious.

TN Note: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aizuchi

Oyoy, it doesn't matter our names.

Moreover, humans have named us without our permission from the very beginning.

「Didn't“ Ten Great Demon Kings ”before took about 3 months to decide? I'm already tired. I don't have the energy anymore to think ~ 」

No-no. You may not think even before you are exhausted.

I have been thinking hard until now! It's not like that.

Or rather, why would it take 3 months to think of such a name!

Or rather, what I really want to say is .. the demon lord seems to have a lot of free time ……

What I heard, was that during those 3 months the name "Ten Great Demon Lords" had taken root among humans.

In the end, it was decided to go by that name, but the required approval was not obtained.

「Content yourself. Times like this where we need to work together and work on it! 」

These are Guy's words, and

「Eh? Eight Great .... 」.

And, he silenced his surroundings with an oppressive silence without words.

"Rubber. Now, as Guy said! Give it all to you all! 」

Ramiris stated this.

It seemed that not all the eight great demon lords were convinced.

And as if cooperation and coordination are meaningless,

「Wahahahaha! I leave everything to you! 」

Soon, some people had already begun to interfere with the already fragmented cooperation between the demon lords.

As expected of the demon lord.

I thought it was impossible to work together from the start, and it seems like it is.

Moreover, when the atmosphere will be even more awkward,

「Oh, if that's the case, then this is the specialty of my friend Rimuru! 」

Behind my back, Veldora said such a thing when she was getting bored.

Tsk, and I think he'll be fine as long as he keeps reading the manga when such an event happens.

Reading the mood, he nonchalantly continued reading by himself.

However, there was someone who nodded in response to Veldora's words.

「It reminds me, You are the one who gave my subordinate name (the butler)! 」

It's Ramiris

"This isn't even your servant" is what I wanted to say, but now is not the time for this.

But this person ... I caught a glimpse of his intention being shown, only disappearing after that.

If you don't insert nails that lock together, it will be too late.

TN Note: Interlocking nails are iron rods that are pierced into bones to straighten them.

Well, I don't really mind .. but it's up to Baretta.

Looking around, the demon lord's hopeful gaze was now all focused on me.

Oh no.. The encircling net has been cast.

Blinking at each other, Guy said,

「Today, Rimuru has been recognized as the new Demon King.

I think I want to give you a wonderful privilege.

Aye! The privilege to give us a new name!

Receiving such a great honor, of course you will receive it, right? 」

This, the voice persuaded.

And I remained silent, neither accepting nor rejecting,

「And besides, you are the reason why our number is decreasing. Take responsibility and think of a name! 」

Suddenly an intimidating tone sounded.

It's gonna be very troublesome.

Bodo time. I gave up too.

「I've got it. Geez, don't complain if you don't like that name. 」

I answer that.

The demon lords, now felt at ease with their faces filled with smiles.

They relaxed while I replaced them in the tea ceremony. Fully hand it over to someone else.

TN Note: I think the tea ceremony is an idiom about handing over all the hard work to others.

Then, this person has a high standing.

There are eight demon kings, the Eight Great Demon Lords might be fine, but I have a feeling this will not work.

Previously, Ramiris thought the Eight Great Demon Lords were fine, right? I was going to say it, but the intimidating look from around me made me forget everything.

Rejected.

Now what…,

「What about" Eight Star Demon King "? Even if I connect it to Octagram? 」

[ED: I tried to think of a new name for them, and ended up with this:

Octostar Demon Lord,

The Starry Eight Demon Lord,

The eighth starred in Demon Lord,

and my personal favorite, the Octo-Dimensional Demon Lord star

Nothing works until the end.]

After I spoke, silence followed.

The Demon King closed their eyes, and examined each word carefully.

After a while, everyone opened their eyes together, and,

「It's decided. Nice name 」

「Do not think you have won, a new era is upon us! 」

「I think so too! If it's Rimiru, I'm sure he can do it! 」

ED: Rimuru you fucking hermaphrodite. Makes my life very difficult.

「As expected! Swahaha! 」

「Hmph, I will admit this, just a little.」

"In a flash! Waw. The last one took three months! 」

「……」

There's no objection.

Thats cool.

Even if anyone objected, I would make that person think of a name.

and besides, I just heard it. What you have been doing for those three months …

In this way ...from today onwards, the feared demon king will be known as the "Eight Star Demon King" (Octagram)

The Eight Star Demon God.

Devil race ... “Master of Darkness” Guy Crimson.

The Dragonoid Race .. "Imitation of Destruction" Milim Nava.

Race Pixie .. "Maze Berries" Ramiris-chan.

Giant race ... Dagruel "Continent of the Continent".

Vampire ... "The Queen of Nightmares" Ruminas Valentine.

Race falls ... "Sleeping Ruler" Dino.

Humanoid Demon Race .. "Devil blonde" Leon Cromwell.

And me, the,

Slime race... The “Newbie” Rimuru Tempest.

I want a cool "Second name" too.

To make my soul tremble in excitement, they are extraordinary men.

Well, there's someone inside who'll think of anything.

With my recognition as the demon lord, the division of the land was also done.

Currently, my territory consists of the entire Great Jura Forest.

It was an unprecedented treatment.

Frey, Carion, and Clayman's lands will be merged and come under the rule of Milim.

In the end, the rules are nominal.

The management of the territory would probably be left to Karion and Frey, as well as the Milim people.

Since there are several drifters among demon lords, hiding in their territory, so I don't know the location of all the lords.

However, with the ring of the demon lord, it was possible to communicate with them.

I was also given one.

The Demon King ring could not only be used for communication, but also summon a spatial magic gate.

Of course, they can freely visit this place ……

And that's it, which means I can come here without the need for them to come exclusively to pick me up …?

No, I can't think of this. I have a feeling I would only feel exhausting if I asked this.

Thus, the series of events involving Clayman as the mastermind has ended, and I am recognized as the new demon lord.

Master Clayman, the existence of this mastermind is alarming, but at this moment the matter from the demon side is resolved.

Furthermore, I have officially risen to the position of a demon lord.

＊ ＊ ＊

Guy had a faint smile on his face as he observed the demon lord.

Now, the demon lord had received a new name as well as a slight increase in combat power.

Eight-star Demon Lords.

The symbol of the new demon lord, I think it's a good name.

The power distribution is completed and everything has settled in equilibrium condition.

In this Great War, it was certain that he had the advantage.

There was no difference whether he won or lost, but even so it was natural for him to want victory.

While it lies on its level of familiarity …

According to what Dino had heard, the eastern empire quickly gathered an army.

The forces once destroyed by Veldora have begun to regroup and the powerful beings are reborn.

And, we suspect that in the shadow of the eastern kingdom lies the presence of the "scorched dragon", Velgurind.

If the empire started to move, the "dragon-type" might start to activate.

Many things become interesting.

The pieces have spread across the world as a stage, a war (game) for supremacy.

The challengers will give their all and participate in this fight.

How to get rid of this boredom after 500 years.

The Great War this time will be something truly "great".

My own main skill, 『King Lucifer the Prideful』.

Milim's main skill, 『Devil King the Wrathful Rath

And,

The ultimate skill of the New Demon King Rimuru, 『Greed King Beelzebub』 considered.

The three major powers with the strongest abilities, the highest skills, were prepared.

I don't think I'm stronger here, but I hope it's a miscalculation.

Addition,

Inside Dino, "Sloth".

In Ruminas, "".

The priority of awakening the highest ability of both was only placed behind.

And, to enjoy things …

About Shion ... He already has fighting ability on par with the demon lord, and further growth can be expected from him.
