Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Complete Victory

In the time that has been extended 1 million times, we are facing each other.

That is, the space of thought created by the Wisdom King Raphael, who dragged Hinata into this space.

It succeeded in creating a forced thought connection with Hinata consciousness, which I could not predict.

Well, why would he do something like that?

The answer is Shizu-san.

(That was my request. To Rimuru's abilities, the King of Wisdom Raphael.)

Shizu-san says it, while smiling gently.

The Izawa Shizue that Hinata and I saw was not a real person.

It was the soul remnants of an actual person. His piece of mind.

By the time I absorbed it, his soul was also taken away. Thanks to the evolution of the Wisdom King Raphael, it seems that his soul analysis was successful.

Is true………

Since then it's still ‘Great Sage’, what has he been doing secretly and secretly behind me? This guy …

Isn't the real Mastermind Wisdom King Raphael-san? I thought so too, but that might not be true either.

Inside the constructed thought space, Hinata was being hugged by Shizu-san.

“You have done well”, Shizu-san said while praising Hinata.

That cruel Hinata had a childlike expression of relief. Seeing such an appearance I felt a strange feeling.

Then, Shizu-san's hand plucked the evil insect that encircled Hinata's head, and burned it completely with its fire.

It was, “Katur” Curse that started Hinata's Mind Restraint [1].

「Wait, hey! The Wisdom King Raphael. I also met Yuuki, can I also be under Mind Restraint? 」(Rimuru)

Although I don't think so, I'm asking to be sure.

This person of the Wisdom King Raphael might do something without permission, but it was not a negligent person.

“Notice. Teachers are not in Mind Restraint.

However, the traces of the Mind Guide have been confirmed.

Due to the evolution of abilities, the effect of Mind Guidance has disappeared now.

The report came nonchalantly from Raphael as if it was a trivial matter.

This person, if there are any signs, then the possibility that Yuuki is a mastermind is high.

Even I'm not sure to doubt that level! This guy (Raphael), really …….

Alright, maybe to get a definitive proof, it's trying to reproduce Shizu-san's soul.

This person is too perfectionist, will not report to me, if the information is not completely 100% correct.

Since my analysis is not perfect, it would be troublesome and confusing to Me, if he were to report any trivial information one by one.

As if understanding what I mean, I have no complaints about that.

And thus, time passed for a while.

Hinata raised her head, is she calm?

His expression was calm, the previous tense atmosphere had subsided.

Maybe he was actually a good boy, but he might have acquired a cruel and brutal tendency to survive through the harsh world.

If you think about it, is this what Shizu-san regrets?

Perhaps for this reason, the Wisdom King Raphael reproduces Shizu-san's Soul, for wanting an opportunity to exchange information with him.

(Hinata, sorry for ignoring you.

Please live strongly, faith is important, but do not misjudge reality/enemy.) [2]

「Shishou (Sensei) ...... But, even now, I'm still confused.

I believe the conditions in the Holy Ruberion Empire are not wrong. 」(Hinata)

(Hinata ...... Which is correct? Where is it wrong?

Deciding unilaterally is not good. Be flexible, okay?)

Shizu-san admonished him gently.

He still wants to talk more. This woman (Hinata) even if she is smart, she is too stubborn.

He does not really listen to My words, but there are times when he shows his flexible nature.

But as expected he still did not listen to my words ……

“I understand. Again, I'll start over. Look with these eyes, and decide with my own heart. 」(Hinata)

Hinata nodded honestly.

Oi ........ is it because of Shizu-san who spoke so that she became this submissive? Or, because he was freed from Mind Restraint so he became obedient?

It was because of the Mind Restraint. Yeah, no more wrong.

After all, it seems like I didn't expect anything while having trouble persuading Hinata.

That means, the bad one is Yuuki.

Is there any chance that man was also manipulated….?

Can Raphael give me an answer about this?

「Oi, I understand that Kagurazaka Yuuki is the mastermind. But, for confirmation….

Is there any chance that Yuuki is also being manipulated?

If I say it accurately, by Kazaream “Sorcery King (Curse Lord)”! 」(Rimuru)

I emphasized the question of the real problem being faced firmly.

If not asked now, the core problem might never come out.

「Yuuki manipulated by” Sorcery King “Kazaream, how to?

Isn't he the former Demon King who was killed by Demon King Leon, right? How is he still alive? 」(Hinata)

「Nn? Uh! Before this, the subordinate of that person, Clayman, said that the Demon King was still alive.

He said the person's Spiritual body seemed to have been revived.

Since he has detailed information from the human side, I guess he possessed humans. 」(Rimuru)

“He's alive? And, he was in a place where he could gather information easily.

First of all, to apply Mind Restraint to me, it seemed impossible for Yuuki to do so at the same time when I arrived in this world.

Above all, his intention or purpose is unknown. But, if you say that Kazaream is the mastermind… .. 」(Hinata)

「Nn? Do you know anything? 」(Rimuru)

To my question, Hinata simply replied in silence.

This guy hasn't been honest with me.

Alright. What I want to hear is not from Hinata.

「My answer, Wisdom King Raphael」

To my question, I felt relieved as if it was answered.

The spiritual body cannot use its abilities excessively. In addition, there is a possibility that he can have a body and move from one to another.

Or, it is possible that somehow, through the protection of the Spiritual body, the soul does not vanish. Kazaream is left wandering around and merging with Yuuki when he accidentally comes to this world.

Although the possibility of the former was higher, communication with Clayman came too slowly. As Clayman had said, the contact suddenly came several tens of years ago [3], until then his movements were still a mystery.

In the latter case.

The odds were too low, it was something unimaginable, but… .. There were dying people who were reincarnated as Slime, so it could not be said to be very unlikely.

Eh? Isn't that about me ?! I took Tsukkomi out like that.

If one could not say for sure, Kaguzaka Yuuki's personality might have vanished or not.

However, it is also possible that Yuuki's personality could have been swallowed or dominated by Kazaream.

The wisdom of King Raphael considers various possibilities, but is unwilling to announce until there is certainty.

Because the nature of perfectionism can be considered as reward and blame.

「By the way, right now without a doubt, Yuuki is a dangerous opponent. Therefore, we must be careful. 」

So, I conclude.

(However, the child was seen as a very normal and kind child. There is no uncomfortable feeling.

That's why I'm worried about him, Hinata. You mustn't go near Yuuki.

I have a very unpleasant premonition …… ..

Good bye, Hinata. Please live and be happy)

Shizu-san said that at the end, she then disappeared from Hinata and my gaze.

He was finally able to tell Hinata what she was worried about, what she regretted if she disappeared.

After Shizu-san disappeared, Hinata continued to pray inwardly in that direction. That look, I'll always remember it.

Then……

“Notice. Goal accomplished. Now release the thought link》

Immediately after saying that, I felt like I was wrapped up in a bright light.

(Rimuru, thank you for Hinata. As expected, you are truly a kind person .... This place is very convenient...).

I thought I heard Shizu-san's voice.

Is that just my imagination? Or is it an illusion? However, Shizu-san's anxiety has definitely disappeared.

While cultivating a gentle smile, Shizu-san lowered her head at me.

?????????????????????????

I opened my eyes after the signal from the Wisdom King Raphael.

The time that had been extended 1 millionfold returned to its normal flow, and the link of the mind was released.

The surrounding area was enveloped by the scent of the battlefield and we glared at each other with the same attitude as we did a while ago.

In real time, half an hour had passed since the start of the fight.

Although I feel like a fight has been going on for a long time, did My one-on-one fight with Hinata start just 30 minutes ago?

Even though I feel like time has passed for a few days, it seems like it never happened.

「Alright, will we continue again?」 (Hinata)

As if nothing had happened, Hinata drew her sword.

Uh, wait a minute.

“Hei! The last time I profited from you, I quit! So, why did you ignore him casually! 」(Rimuru)

「I don't know. Wouldn't it make sense to end the battle after delivering the final blow? 」(Hinata)

「Ku ..... this bastard .....」 (Rimuru)

「In addition, after my subordinates become like that, I cannot retreat silently, right?」 (Hinata)

What'd he say?

So I thought, and looked around Me ………

「Not possible, it's already impossible. Do as you please, you fucking monster! 」(Anon Holy Knight)

「Kufufufufu. That's more fun than I thought. Let's take a short break 」(Diablo)

「What, break !? Bodo time! Goddamnit! 」(Anon Holy Knight)

「Kufufufufu. Oh my God, don't say that! 」(Diablo)

Such was the exchange between Diablo and the Holy Knight.

“Go! Your distraction. 」(Souei)

「Aa, Souei-sama ..... how cruel!」 (Holy Knights of Tortured Women)

For some reason, the redhead and the beautiful onee-san leaned flirtatiously on Souei.

How should I say it, what are you doing in the fight? The anger I'm gonna spurt a little, you know?

「I'm so sorry, Rimuru-sama. I tortured him, but it seems I made a mistake.

Somehow it became like this ……… .. 」(Souei)

Souei apologized to me as he put away the red-haired Holy Knight while being annoyed.

Although I was confused by what kind of torture she had been subjected to, I was more worried about what kind of torture could cause such a reaction.

I really don't understand what's going on there.

「You, stay away from Souei-sama!」 (Souk)

Souka shouted in a loud voice.

But that voice did not match his exhausted appearance. He looks like he can't stand.

If you look around, Gobuta, Gabil and the Shadow Souei army are exhausted and look like they want to collapse.

Beside them was Hakurou who sighed.

「You guys, will be drilled and angry by Aku」 (Hakurou)

So he nagged. As those words became the final blow, Gobuta and the others suddenly fainted.

Beside Gobuta and the others, the Holy Knights were similarly tired and lying down. It seemed like a fierce battle had taken place there.

But it seems that their battle did not satisfy Hakurou, didn't they do their best with the Holy Knights as opponents?

「I'm fooled-ssu. My opponent is the strongest, extremely ruthless-ssu! 」(Gobuta)

「To finally draw Hobgoblin as an opponent ...... That? I'm also not in a good position .... 」(Gregory).

「Cannot be! …… I have tried my best! But why!? 」(Gable)

Unanimously, they complained about something. Oh well, there's nothing more I can say except condolences.

Well, this is still okay, even though I still don't understand what's going on for Souei's opponent, I'll just leave it alone.

But I immediately caught a glimpse of the pitiful scenery that made Me want to take my eyes off, I think they are the Holy Knights who have become the playmates of Ranga and Shion.

At a glance, lying in front of Ranga there were eight people left with only tattered pants.

“Sir! These people are the best to check on the condition of Me after the evolution of Me 」(Ranga)

Ranga said with great pleasure.

Although I told him not to do anything excessively.

「O, yes. Good for you then ..... 」(Rimuru)

“Ay! Can I play more? 」(Ranga)

「No, please stop. Those people might have been tired …. 」(Rimuru)

“Is that so? I-i understand. 」(Ranga)

Is he not playing enough? His tail has dangled but ………

Are they relieved by my words? I think I heard voices of relief from the people under Ranga's feet.

Yeah, that's their voice.

If Ranga played another round with them, those people would die.

Frankly, they were saved! Their faces, with grateful eyes, were directed toward Me ………

Is it alright for the Holy Knights to do that? I became a little worried, but how else, because their opponent was Ranga.

The main problem was about the condition of Shion's opponent.

Wh why? Why did everyone's limbs disappear and their bodies were left writhing on the ground?

I believe that Shion's arrogant face is a bad premonition. Really am.

「…… .Oi. Shion. What did you do to those people? 」(Rimuru)

“Ay! For the compliment, thank you very much!

These things (people) [4], since they dared to try and oppose Rimuru-sama, I punished them a little. 」(Shion)

I'm not praising you! You're a fool.

Although Shion proudly replied, but …….

No matter how you look at it, it's too much. In the beginning, except for My subordinates, I didn't really care about people who were against Me or trash or anything like that.

「Oi ..... Even though I said do your best, no matter how you look at it, you're overreacting! Don't kill them! Didn't I say that? 」(Rimuru)

「It's okay. Everyone was still living so energetically like this! 」(Shion)

No no!

Even though they are still alive, their condition is not good. Didn't those who lost their arms and legs have blank and hollow expressions ?!

Moreover, since they were protecting people, if they lacked arms and legs, how could they fight monsters?

He doesn't understand what I want to say, this guy …….

「Shion, it looks like only you disobeyed my orders.

If you do not have any explanation ..... 」(Rimuru)

Just when I was trying to talk, I,

「Ups! I forgot! You guys, be happy and thank Rimuru-sama! 」

While saying such words, he hastily gathered all the Holy Knights wriggling under his feet in a single move.

And then sprinkle on top of Full Potion (Complete Recovery Medicine).

In front of my sight, the Sacred Knight's limbs grew back.

Even though I don't understand his abilities, he gained a very frightening ability, which is Shion.

Did he manipulate the system effect? An absurdly dangerous skill had been awakened in this troublesome girl.

I can't help but sympathize with his opponent.

The Holy Knight whose arms and legs had been restored, shared the excitement with each other.

Their excitement is amazing as they do not turn into disabled people, which is understandable because of how much daily training they have.

Well, it was because of Shion's rampage, from now on I decided to pay more attention to it.

Well, as long as the security of the Holy Knights is confirmed, so I think.

However, oh well ……

About Hinata, was it because she saw her subordinates in such a miserable state?

You reap what you sow, but this is just an excuse.

How else. To put up another fence, so let's be enemies huh?

“I understand. How else, I will be your opponent.

However, it is not difficult to feel in this case! Can you swear if you lose fairly, you won't interfere with this country? 」(Rimuru)

“. I promise you, this game is the last one! 」(Hinata)

I believe in you, Hinata.

Unlike the previous time, the doubt within Hinata's eyes had disappeared.

It also didn't look like he was exacting revenge for the ill-treatment of the holy knights, perhaps it was because he had listened to my words well.

That nice. You can't be stubborn constantly.

Well, then, this is the last game.

While holding each other's swords, we closed the distance together.

Everyone, including the holy knights, were watching us closely.

What is Justice, nonsense is not good either.

In the end, although committing violence was annoying, it was easy to understand.

To stake their faith, the fight between two people had restarted.

………

……

…

Yet.

Frankly, I can't possibly lose.

Anyhow, there are 『Predicted Future Attacks』.

Although the Sacred attribute can break through King Uriel's Absolute Defense of the Covenant, I already have eyes that can see all sword lines.

Having such thoughts, I must not think recklessly.

In my view, 『Predicted Future Attacks』 emits light to line all predicted attacks

Ms ???

Astounded. What does this mean? For me, who has such thoughts, I,

“Notice. Individual: Sakaguchi Hinata growth confirmed. She most likely has “Telur Pahlawan”.

For this reason, he had become an existence that surpassed logic, and because of this result, he seemed to gain resistance to the results Prediction System's ability.》

In other words, I should avoid using my own power?

Why is this happening! Did I not have an advantage during the previous position?

Growing up in the middle of a fight, even though it was incredible, happening right now was simply too much!

Shit, what does this mean! Seriously, though,

Even the greedy King Beelzebub vanished in the previous fight ……

While thinking of such a thing, I desperately repelled Hinata's sword.

Even though he became “Heroes” Eggplant, it didn't seem to strengthen him all of a sudden.

That's relieving. Because I can still deal with it.

However, I can't win just by dodging. There's gotta be something I can do if I don't….

To me who is lost in thought,

“Notice. There's no problem. The rise of the voracious King Beelzebub is possible.》

Huh huh? Wasn't it destroyed …….

“Notice. Although annihilated, it is possible to revive it, there is no problem.》

What is the past form for! Even so, shouldn't you have said that before! Shouldn't you be?

I was worried between excitement and vexation, the Wisdom King Raphael issued an even more explosive statement.

“Notice. Should the Absolute Defense of King Uriel's Covenant be activated? YES NO ”

Oi! Why haven't you activated it since a while ago?

To my question, the Wisdom King Raphael answered about this matter, I have almost reached the limit of My shock.

Anyways, though,

“Lavatan. The sacred attribute can pass through the Absolute Defense of the Covenant of King Uriel.

Therefore, there is no point in activating it. 》

Etc., as announced.

Even perfectionists have limits.

During the fight with Hinata earlier, it was said that the movement of the attacks of the Sacred attribute was impossible to predict.

Based on Raphael's analysis, about why it can penetrate Absolute Defense is because the substance is only “Spirit” Substance and “Shadow” Substance. It could pass because of the Absolute Defense barrier that only protected from Magic Power.

Raphael reasoned that because he made small-scale random movements, his contact point prediction was impossible.

So why was Raphael talking about this so confidently?

In other words, it meant that Raphael had found the perfect way to survive Hinata's attack, right?

“Lavatan. Not long ago, data from Melt Slash [5] which was destroyed by the greedy King Beelzebub was collected.

As a result, the Sucie Sword Technique: Melt Slash was acquired.

In this case, it was an event that was not covered in prediction; it is now possible to understand the law of the Spirit Substance movement.》 [6]

Hm …….

Ms? Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Eh? So that means, even if I received a direct hit from Hinata's sword a while ago, is there a chance that I won't receive any damage?

《……》

Oh! You're ignoring me? This bastard …….

So the meaning of not being answered is the answer yes?

Eh? But…..

Wait a minute, even if I received a direct attack from Hinata’s Melt Slash earlier, I won't die?

“Lavatan. Sure oes. It is possible to receive great damage, but it is also possible to regenerate immediately.》

Then, why do you seem to panic? Maybe ......... It's because you want me to eat and analyze Melt Slash, right? [7]

《……》

Oho! You still don't want to answer anymore!

This person, gradually his response became top class. When compared to Humans, it was good at planning.

Even if it had an ego, I could honestly believe it.

…… ..But, of course. That's because it's something I expected.

Can I withstand the attack? Can I use it too?

At that moment he understood my wish and immediately executed it, huh? This ability (Raphael) is not a joke (mastered).

This ability is too good for someone like me.

“No. I only exist for the sake of Guru》 [8]

You immediately denied it.

Huh thank you.

Next, I'll count on you, Partner! But.. I beg you not to do anything secretly.

In the Acceleration of Mind, the exchange between the Wisdom King Raphael and I ended instantly.

And, using King Uriel's Absolute Defense of the Covenant, my left hand captured Hinata's sword.

Surprised, Hinata opened her eyes wide.

Such is. In my life, it was the fastest attack.

Facing Hinata,

「Total victory for me, Hinata!」 [9]

So I announced it, I'm using Melt Slash.

The shining glint.

A flash of attack that even the eyes could not follow, the sword in Hinata's hand broke, and then the attack stopped right in front of Hinata's neck.

The match has been decided.

Hinata froze from the surprise but,

「It was my total defeat, Rimuru. You can do whatever you like …… .. 」

So he muttered, and closed his eyes.

The fight ended with my victory.

All right then.

Finally, it seems that Hinata became meek to me, did she finally agree to listen to my words?

Thus, the attacks of the Holy Knights could really be fended off.

Or rather, I felt it was too one-sided. I thought I'd purposely pretend I never saw her.

Cleaning up afterwards will be difficult, but the problem has been solved for now.
