Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Dino And Dagruel

We left the forest on the way to the Walpurgis Banquet of the Demon King guided by Ramiris.

We flew with Veldora's back, so even though the journey should have taken quite a while, it probably didn't.

Seeing the swamps below us testifies to our current speed.

That is, going to the swamp usually takes 2 ~ 3 days but now it only takes one hour.

Veldora personally considered the assumption of giant form troublesome, but since we had Shion, Beretta, and Grucius who were unable to fly, I asked him to hold it in.

On that note,

「Ramiris, are you planning on walking far to the banquet hall (?)?」

I asked.

No matter how I think about it, I can't imagine him coming on time.

In response, the,

「Hmm? Oh, walking is no problem.

If I did, I'd always have someone pick me up on the way there! 」

He gave an answer that I couldn't really wrap my head around.

He was always late so everyone was used to coming to pick him up.

Chances are, one has spatial trip type abilities.

If that's the case, then where are we going now?

Overcome with fear, I dare to ask, I,

「Eh? There's no way I know! 」

“What awhat! We are flying at your request and towards you! ” I refrained from saying it.

He was like that.

Well, then there's no need to keep flying. So we decided to land and continue while enjoying our surroundings.

So we calmly continued our journey.

When you left the Jura Forest you were already in the Demon King's land.

However, that does not mean that there is a big difference in the scenery.

Compared to human cities and villages, the density of magic energy was higher, but not at a rate where humans could not survive.

But, of course, the huge stone by the roadside would not turn into a demonic Steel Ore.

Are there also some naturally occurring monsters here?

I decided to ask, though,

「Ah, even if we call it the power of the Demon King, unless we talk about their residence or maybe their province, normal people can also live here.

As long as they pay the corresponding tax demon lord, their security is guaranteed 」

Veldora.

“Oh, so that's how it is. As expected of an omniscient teacher! ” Ramiris added.

Why don't you know! I wanted to retaliate, but gave up.

「But, there is also a demon lord with an unknown demesne.

Among those I have fought, there are Giants, Vampires, and Demons.

Among them, I only fought the Giant Dagrule and the Vampire Ruminas.

And even though it was just one battle with Dagrule, it was fun ..

As for Ruminas, I turned the Vampire Country into ashes, so when he actually came to me, I decided to retreat!

He just doesn't understand jokes. Where's the domain, I don't know.

The other was the demon king.

I have fought with his demon entourage, but never with the king himself.

The castle was located on the icy continent, and was extremely cold. No humans live there.

Going there would be boring, so I haven't left yet. Even..”

At that point, Veldora's words became somewhat vague, and

「After all, there is no need to go to the middle of nowhere! Akuahahaha! 」

He laughed trying to hide something.

But, well, it seems like this grandfather has already angered some demon lords.

If my country turns to ashes, even I will be angry.

Moreover, the giant demon king who had fought Veldora also looked dangerous.

As for the ice continent, unless I'll have a business there, I see no reason to leave. So no need to think about that.

However, the demon lord seemed to be actually quite powerful. Comparing them to using the Ramiris boy as a base was certainly a mistake.

I should probably base them on Milim instead.

Even after evolving, whether I can win against Milim or not is still uncertain.

No matter how many times we fought, since he never expended any manpower, I don't have enough data.

When compared to when we fight, I can win; but, since I don't know how much he holds back, I shouldn't be arrogant.

And, I do not believe Milim will support the command of conquest for Me.

Although it is clear that we are dancing to the rhythm of someone here, I cannot help but think that Milim is being manipulated – whether he is awake or asleep…

I could, however, imagine that he had a reason for all this.

Not that thinking about it now would take you anywhere.

Let's decide this after we meet.

So, while listening to Veldora's fairy tale, we continued the journey leisurely.

If Ramiris is right, we will soon be shown the way by one of the demon lords.

So while we were enjoying the breeze, we happened to see two men approaching us.

They came straight here.

Tall guy (big!) Chestnut-haired, and a slovenly green-haired gentleman.

Did they come to see us? I think and see them, though,

“Yo! Ramiris, how are you? 」

「Oooooh! Isn't that Veldora! You're doing well?

The weak aura you exuded.

I just convinced myself that I feel someone with the same aura 」

The conversation started so.

「Oh, Dino, yes. Welcome to pick me up! 」

「Ah, Dagruel! We just discussed our last battle 」

Whether they came to see us is still unknown, but they certainly know each other.

So we went straight to the introduction.

When I introduced myself,

「Heh, so you're the main character this time, yeah. So, why are you being hunted? 」

「Oh, nice to meet you. I've never heard of slime being the demon lord 」

They said surprised.

Why am I being hunted, huh? That's what I want to know.

「Iya ~, don't know, really ..」

I say and summarize the incident until now.

While we were there, I asked them to tell me the story of how they met Veldora and Ramiris.

They are a friendly group. But, I can't analyze how deep their strength is.

As expected, all I know is that they are demon kings.

After listening to my story, they decided…

Although I mustn't let my guard down, the demon lords are barely united.

Right now, the two of them do not believe I have killed Karion — with whom they are best friends.

Although they were sure I was capable of doing so, Grucius' testimony convinced them otherwise.

But, if I have no proof, My conquest has been decided by a majority vote.

Although this is confusing, had I first called myself the demon king and killed Karion, there would have been no problem, but if I deceive and kill Karion first and then call myself the Demon Lord, it is not good.

That was the rule of the powerful demon lords, it seemed.

So, since the banquet this time was held on the premise that I killed Karion through deception, My conquest must have been agreed.

Karion was excluded, I now need to make the five demon lords object to the request to cancel it.

Good thing I discussed these things with the participants.

In other words, I have fallen into someone's evil trap…

And this awareness causes anger to boil in Me.

Even though we've never met, the culprit is Clayman.

The problem was that Milim was supporting him. If we settle it, the demon lord's anger will no longer be directed at me.

Of course, trying to fight all the demon lords at once meant suicide.

I mean, I couldn't feel the strength of the two before me, so there was no reason to start a meaningless fight.

Of course, as long as they don't challenge me.

But the demon lord was suddenly willing to accept.

Both believed my words.

Though they may be that pure.

Veldora, while learning to suppress her aura, was talking to Dagrule.

Somehow, he saw the value of my habit through reading the Sacred Text (Manga), and stopped releasing his aura aimlessly.

He was very happy if his opponent underestimated him just to scare them by suddenly letting go.

As a result, the monsters of the city can live in peace, so we are very grateful. But it's still weird.

I know what manga knowledge he's stuffing with his head, but this bothers me a little.

Dagrule enthusiastically listened to his explanation, nodded and agreed.

First of all, as a Giant whose strength increased with anger, he did not release that much aura.

In fact, right now his aura was like that of a normal human.

Surely he had heard everything Veldora said …

「So in other words, if I learn to control My anger, I will gain new power!」

Somehow, an outrageous conversation reached my ears.

Hey, heeeey!

There is now a way the demon lord called “The Continent’s Anger” can control it and turn it into energy!

Besides, I don't want the demon lord who once fought Veldora to grow stronger.

And anger flowed in the Giant's veins.

He was currently a large man with a height exceeding 2 meters, but when he took it all out, his body grew five times larger.

So a 12-meter-tall giant rampaging .. he was a truly troublesome demon lord.

When he introduced himself earlier, I thought from the bottom of My heart that he was a demon king who did not want Me to visit My city.

After all, it seems that they have decided to make him train to control his anger, but that is no longer my problem.

If he fails and goes berserk in his own country.I'll be happy if he doesn't come to complain to me later.

Another demon king, Dino is …

Having a friendly conversation with Ramiris.

They looked close, and their conversation was smooth.

It was probably because Dino had once been – once a – in her care, so she greeted him politely.

「By the way, Ramiris. Haven't you been shrinking since we last met? 」

「There's nothing I can do about it! It hasn't even been 50 years since I was last born again! 」

「It must be uncomfortable. Have you inherited all your memories? 」

「That's what I have. However, the spirit retreats along with the body you see…

Well, since I am the strongest, this kind of flaw is natural! 」

「You didn't say it. Tell that to Guy and he'll pull out your wings! 」

「Bah! Do you think I'm stupid? Why raise a child like that!

Although I can easily take Guy out with one punch, I just feel dislike! 」

This too, seems like a pleasant conversation.

Looks like Ramiris panicked just because he heard the name “Guy”. If his mouth came out that much, he must be a truly dangerous man.

So let's make a mental memo: “Lelaki is dangerous”.

Like this, I might be able to avoid danger someday. So don't mock him.

The conversation eventually led them to discuss their subordinates.

Ramiris is proudly showing off Beretta.

「With him, I can finally pay back the demon lord for calling me a dwarf and a loner.

Even you are not a match for him! 」

「Eh? Can I destroy it? 」

「Haaah? Of course you can't!

If you do ... I'll go to Guy and have him hit you as punishment! 」

「Or is what I said, but isn't this amazing? If I take a closer look, he's really dangerous! 」

Dino, whose eyes had been half asleep until now, suddenly opened wide.

And happy with the result, though,

“Good! Right, right! Well, now even persuasively I definitely increased 」

She said, while trying to emphasize her non-existent chest.

Well, I built it. Not that I care.

Whether Beretta is fed up with him is now unknown, but he is secretly carrying out his guard duties.

Things continued like this for a while, but then I decided to ask.

「By the way, where are we headed?

We have been continuing this path for a while, but you both know where the banquet will be held, right?

Oh, and did you not bring anyone with you? 」

From what I can see, they just walk happily nowhere.

After hearing my question, the two looked at each other and laughed.

From their words, they did not want to fall asleep, so leave a little earlier.

And after seeing us, decided that we might as well travel together.

After all, we don't know the way and neither do they.

But, all right

「「 We will have someone come and pick us up 」」

They said, cheerful.

As we were tired of walking, we decided to have some tea.

I took it out of my stomach, and prepared some cutlery and bed sheets, began to prepare it.

If someone comes to pick us up, we might just wait in town.

Well, I guess I should be happy to meet the two demon lords.

When I took the lunch that Shuna had prepared, the two of them acted alone.

Since the income was quite a lot, we could easily serve two more people.

It felt, of course, to have a warm welcome.

As expected of Shuna.

By the way, Shion is not allowed to cook.

Although he did have the unique skill 『Cook』, not knowing the basics made him a waste of talent.

After eating, while enjoying tea,

「By the way, did you not bring anyone with you?」

I asked.

They brought three sons of – general Dagruel, and five captains with them.

Since the generals and captains had participated in the banquet before, they thought it would be fine.

But his son was here for the first time. So they will definitely cause problems, he said.

Is that good? I wanted to ask, but I couldn't.

Dino has no one with him.

There seems to be a demon king without followers. Milim seemed to be the same, so I could accept it easily.

By the way, there are reasons to limit the number of participants.

A long time ago, there was a demon king who would bring over a hundred people to show off their strength.

Some of their countries were reduced to ashes so as to seek to be annihilated.

So, they decided that you should bring someone with at least a low-class Devil rank.

According to the demon lords who were now destroyed, they had always brought high-ranking demons, but no one could be sure of that and such reports had been ignored.

In any case, in order to prevent such foolish actions, they decided to limit the number of participants.

Although there were many demon lords participating with a lack of confidence.

As we discussed these things, I suddenly felt a crack open in space.

Looks like our guide has arrived.

In front of us, a gate opened.

From inside, a beautiful woman in black maid clothes came out and bowed.

「I came to guide you, Ramiris-sama.

If you want, please follow me 」

He said, while still opening the gate.

While really making himself seem insignificant. He is the embodiment of discipline itself.

A true professional.

But, what's more, the,

This server, feels amazing like Diablo – “Demon Lord / Official”.

He's obviously dangerous.

「Oh, if not Mizari. Haven't seen you in a long time! How's Guy doing? 」

「Ay, a person like me is not too arrogantIt worries my great master .. 」

「Ah, that's. You never change. Bodo”

He said while jumping to the gate.

We follow. If we're left here, there's a fear of not being able to come here at all.

But the waiter seems to be Guy's subordinate.

It seems Guy is one of the demon lords, but, if possible, I would rather not make him my enemy.

Well, that depends on the situation.

The time to test the resolution I have arrived.

In front of waiting for the ruler of this world.

But I'm not afraid.

Because I, too, am one of these strongest individuals.

While bracing myself, I continued to the gate.
