Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 99: Tournament Preparation

Myormiles rushed back to his shop.

He could send the butler in front of him, but decided not to.

Will he really wait for me?

A little worried, he entered the shop.

When he does, he sees the adorable girl (?) Lean on the coach.

And, when he saw Myormiles, he smiled broadly.

"Yes! That was quick"

A speech style that was completely opposite to his face, he raised his hand in speech.

That is, without a doubt, Mr. Rimuru.

After confirming that, Myormiles expressed sincere happiness that Rimuru was alive and well.

The other officers, seeing their master as such, did not react with any surprise and had treated Rimuru with respect. |

Of course, that was the effect of spending an hour here alone with him.

After putting down the iced tea he drank, Rimuru went straight to the point.

「Yah, what. I've got a job request, you know? I'm sure that Myormiles will be able to handle it.

I have an upcoming show and I want a producer for it.

Can I leave it to you? 」

With a wide smile that could only be described as representing all the evils of the entire human race, Rimuru asked.

Myormiles could not read what was on his mind, but was convinced that it involved danger.

Despite this, though,

「What events will Danna talk about?」

Myormiles, for some reason, wanted to hear more.

Somehow, he was fascinated by this person. Without thinking of losing and profiting, this kind of unnatural feeling filled him.

Perhaps, he had now failed as a merchant.

But now that he had failed, wasn't this the right time to serve this creature?

So he tried to imagine what it would be like to serve Rimuru.

The thought filled him with boundless joy.

So, he heard Rimuru's explanation.

He revealed a surprising proposal.

Tempest will be holding the Tournament soon, and he wants to leave it in the hands of Myormiles.

He described it as entertainment, but, in short, it was really just a spectacle for the masses.

They would create the Colosseum to accommodate ten thousand people to watch and entertain the contestants.

Ordinary people also had the right to watch, perhaps with an entrance fee.

However, it does not matter if the entrance is free. During the meals and lodging Tempest advertised correctly.

More importantly, move ten thousand guests. Although the highway has been prepared, there is a need to arrange transportation and train provisions.

Especially the number of guests. Offering lodging.

Just the thought of the wealth that would move here made his mouth water.

The tempest dining and lodging is amazing, so accepting guests will prove simple.

The problem is the permanent stimulation of the economy and maximizing profits.

That's the core behind this tournament.

Too funny!

Preparing such a detailed plan was just to hand it over to Myormiles!

「This should be left to the pros, right? Don't tell me, Myormiles, you lack confidence? 」

「Ha, hahahaha! Very violent. Rimuru-sama is the bad guy 」

"Mahaha . Me, me! But not as bad as you! 」

Both laughed loudly.

With evil smiles on their faces.

「You understand that a very large capital will move here, right?」

「Fu fu fu. Don't worry, this is Myormiles' area of expertise …

I will produce results that Rimuru-sama will be fully satisfied with! 」

Big money will flow in this event.

As Rimuru said.

Really ... a scary creature.

How far can he see …

「On that note, I can see other ways to use restorative medicine.

It is possible to be restored as long as one does not die I believe …

So maybe we can sell it to the participants

And, the real purpose is to advertise, right?

So people visit Tempest more than now, right?

Based on that goal, my job is .. 」

"… As expected . I'm glad I decided to leave this to you, Myormiles!

I don't mind if the tournament doesn't make any profit.

"I want to come again!" If people leave with that feeling, then we have succeeded. I'll hand you an invitation. Okay?"

That's why they shake hands.

A terrifying chill struck Myormiles as ideas flowed into his head.

There are many ways to manage an event as a country.

Just by letting people bet on the winner can generate a huge income.

He finally realized the many ideas and burdens of responsibility that this request demanded.

And as he did so, boundless excitement filled his body.

He could finally do it. He could finally show her! He could finally be of use to Tempest!

And then, Rimuru added

「Oh, and then, if this goes well, would you like to join us?

Head of Trade Division or Head of Traders Division. Yes, the name doesn't matter, but I want you to assume the post.

We grew quite big recently, so we need to take control of that sector. How about that? 」

How about that? How about that? How about that? …?

These words, as if playing the ropes of his heart, echoed over and over again.

With a big nod, he accepted it.

Of course he wants to.

Rimuru is willing to invest in him so far.

There is no room for failure.

If he did well, he could join the most trusted circle!

In all Myormiles days, more than any dream or hope he had, he now felt like he had never felt before.

This feeling was like sweet nectar that he swore to never let go.

Even after Rimuru left the scheduling of the next meeting, the excitement did not diminish.

Everything will be busy.

First, it stated its intention to collect its inheritance.

If the show ends successfully, no, he will make it successful, he has no plans to return to Brumund.

So he declared so.

And ask,

"What are you gonna do? If you like this house, I don't really care? 」

And after hearing these words, all his servants replied,

『Allow us to travel with you』

They said .

At this point, no one was holding him back.

Although he had received a license from the country, Myormiles was a member of the guild.

He has the freedom to move between countries.

One must always be ready to move!

But releasing these stores may prove to be unprofitable in the future.

So he decided to get some people to come back in case Brumund would thrive.

Commanding his servants to pack up, he returned to his shop.

And he called the chief clerk to the office.

Before the officer could even sit down,

「Yo, you've been pretty good recently, how about taking over the store?」

Get to the point.

Flashing a few times, the officer tried to understand what he had just heard.

In fact, he was the son of one of Myormiles' relatives, and was sent here to study.

He was a smart kid that Myormiles liked.

However, in reality, he lost his original 'house' due to a terrible failure, and only became an employee who had a place to stay.

There is no doubt about his work ethics. He's someone Myormiles can rely on.

「But, sir ... What might you mean by that?」

Unable to believe what he had heard, he timidly asked.

With a big nod, though,

「The problem is, I ... assigned with important work.

I'm leaving the country, so I decided to leave the store for you.

Make the store a success and call your parents to visit one day 」

Myormiles said, patting the officer on the back with an affectionate smile.

In reality, he only intended to lend the store to her. That is, he fully hoped to return the price of the store.

Myormiles the merchant is not a sweet individual.

In fact…

(If he is unable to make a payment, it simply indicates that he failed to start with)

He was motivated by his job as a teacher.

「Thank you, really, thank you …

Sure ... I will definitely repay your kindness! 」

Finally understanding what was said, the officer thanked Myormiles.

Ignoring his gratitude, he,

"Work hard!"

Myormiles said, nodding.

Just in case, they made contracts for the exchange of commodities.

There's no oversight in this.

And after being again thanked by the store clerk, he announced a leadership change to the entire store.

And, adding to their surprise, he added,

「On one of a million occasions that something happened, you are free to consult with me.

But, I'm sure you guys will be able to finish with the new order soon.

Just remember to avoid a dubious deal with the nobles! 」

Everyone nodded at his words.

Then,

「Umm .. could it be that we are following you, sir?」

Some of them said.

These five individual Myormiles see great potential in.

So he was very surprised.

He never expected them to be willing to abandon their livelihood to follow him.

Therefore, he was confused as to how to respond.

But those who ask do not waver in the least.

The former shop clerk smiled and said,

Orm Myormiles-sama, everyone here is your disciple.

Please bring these people 」

「But ... without them, would you not be in trouble?」

「Hahaha, so you're worried about that! I'm also following your teachings, you know! 」

Myormiles nodded once at these reassuring words.

Thinking about it, the trusted people he worked with on important tasks were truly valuable.

So he decided to accept the proposal.

Thus, after overseeing the preparations to move, Myormiles set off towards Tempest.

＊ ＊ ＊

After parting ways with Myormiles, I let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness he accepted it.

Having a tournament is fine, but how do we make the most of it?

That's the thought that started this.

Even falling is not free.

I ordered the creation of an urgent Colosseum. The plains where we faced the knights were where we decided to build this huge structure. Easily accessible and convenient.

We declare that the tournament will be held in conjunction with the proclamation ceremony of the Demon God.

We also decided to allow the powerful beings from the Jura Forest to participate.

In short, we are also looking for new members. As we become a legitimate country, it might be a good idea to add a more powerful being to our ranks.

The other demon kings were looking for demon subordinates to increase their influence, but it was unclear if the demons were really strong.

How ~ forever! Since they are going to fight this time, we will soon be able to tell their strength.

On that note, there was the problem of too few participants and too many spectators.

If we only display the power of my Cabinet, the vagrant Devil might be persuaded not to rampage at will.

The fools who decide to cause any harm will be removed. If possible, I would rather we add it to our rankings before that happens.

After all, they said the angels were coming to attack.

Even though it was the first time I heard that, I saw almost no reason to stop our progress.

I want a comfortable and pleasant life!

That is why it might be a good idea to further increase our fighting prowess.

So, rather than targeting a famous clan, I would rather gather strong individuals and give a prize to the winner.

Monsters have almost no interest in coins, so I stated that I would grant a reasonable wish.

Hopefully many participants will perform.

Otherwise, it's not a show.

For someone who enjoys year-end shows on TV, this is the ideal entertainment.

But, there are problems managing capital.

The cost of watching can be free as long as Tempest is properly advertised.

When I thought so, I noticed that we were short on personnel.

There are no monsters that specialize in finance.

While I could do it myself, it was too troublesome.

And then I remembered Myormiles-kun.

He's an incredible resource.

I don't know why he was so excited, but he was even more excited than I was to execute this plan.

Maybe even call it an annual event.

In addition, he even thought of plans to sell drugs at the event.

What a terrifying individual.

In that case, rather than a rapidly built arena, we might have to build something even grander.

A little panicked, I called Gerudo.

It seems that they are in the middle of laying the foundation so that they do not mind having to expand the size of the building.

Although I initially held the box seat, I guess it would be important.

By the way, the Cabinet unanimously declared a secret training time and disappeared.

Only Ranga remained as usual in my shadow.

Well, since I'm in Brumund, I might as well say hello to Fuze.

Opening the door to the Brumund Freedom Association Branch, I entered.

And greeted with a gaze “Who is it?”.

Right, every time I come I'll wear a mask, so they don't know it's me.

Bodo time . If he's not here, I'll go.

With a carefree attitude, I approached the receptionist.

"Yu . I'm Rimuru; is Fuze around?

Oh, this is my guild card 」

I said and took out a card from my pocket (abdomen).

I can hear people asking, “That girl is an adventurer ?!” but I don't care about them.

The receptionist seemed to remember me.

"ah! Oh my goodness, it's been a while! How's it going? 」

「Hmm? Oh, fine! You also seem to be fine.

So, can I meet him? 」

"Ah yes . Please follow me!"

I was immediately allowed in.

Behind me, I could hear: "Seriously ?! Who's the girl! ”And the like, but I should probably ignore that word.

And as usual, I was guided towards the same room through the magic circle.

Inside, Fuze held her head.

"Yes! I came to play . What's wrong? Is there something on your mind? 」

「Yeah, it's peaceful, but then suddenly a demon king appears ..」

「Eh? Seriously? What a threat. Why are you so relaxed ?! 」

「No, no, the demon lord is right in front of me. So what am I supposed to do?"

「Oh? Did ya? How about serving tea?

Maybe a cake is a good idea? 」

「Kue, yes ... nothing! Do you think I can get the delicacy so easily ?!

Seriously, is it alright for you to be so carefree even as a demon lord? 」

While complaining, he poured tea.

Unlike his appearance, he was a very pleasant man.

Thanking him, I sipped his tea. And let him know a shortened version of the Walpurgis Banquet incident.

That there were Eight Demon Lords now called "Octograms".

And most importantly .

That Guild Master of the Freedom Association, Kagurazaka Yuuki, was somehow connected to Chaos Lord Kazarim.

Fuze muttered in disbelief.

But without doubting my story, he began to consider preventive measures.

Instead, while doubting my words, I must say.

If I am wrong – is great, if I am right – then an absolute action plan is required.

The best thing is to stay wise. He's a reliable man.

「On that note, I thought it would be better to use this magical item that prevents mind control.

We all use it too.

And, don't reveal this to anyone you don't trust and it has nothing to do with Yuuki. 」

「Understood .. That's just to be expected. I will try to find people who can eliminate brainwashing and mind control skills. 」

He quickly took it.

He's far ahead of me.

「Call me if something happens」

I said, take out the Communication Ball and a hundred gold coins.

「Hey, Danna ... what is this ..?」

「Communication tools and fees required. Enough?"

"That will help . But to carry this much, was it serious? 」

「That's him. I don't think Ingracia can be trusted at all at this point.

Yuuki has 10 years to expand his network, you know? 」

Fuze's expression got more serious when I said it.

And he started to grumble at himself.

「Serius ... things are much more peaceful before you appear ...」

「Not good, you got a job. And that big one! 」

Fuze raised her hand as if giving up,

「Make request」

He said . With a face full of determination.

It was hard to ask him to question his superior.

I felt bad for her, so I decided to explain in more detail.

My real goal is children.

So I tell him. If Yuuki is suspicious, there is a need to save the children.

But if I handle this poorly, she will learn that I am suspicious of her. This should be done in complete secrecy.

Preferably with third parties who have no relationship with me.

Fuze nodded and began to think about his strategy.

Anyway, we can't rush.

Since he had yet to realize it, there was no need to take any serious action.

We can be slow, so I believe we should carefully continue here.

「I have accepted the request. Leave it to me!"

Fuze nodded and promised.

For now, he will use trusted people to look for those who suffer from mind control.

If possible, he would secure the children.

There was no choice but to trust him for now.

「I leave it to you!」

And nodding, we concluded by discussing the finer details.
