Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
After Resurrection

A new morning has arrived!

That nostalgic phrase came to my mind.

It's been a long time since I last felt the feeling of waking up.

I mean, since I don't need to sleep in this world, this is the body's first experience of sleep.

I saw the scene in front of Me, and saw the rush of preparations happening in every corner of the city.

Even the feeling quickly revealed the pulsing power emanating from their bodies.

That, I'm sure, is the effect of my evolution.

“Ah! Rimuru-sama, you are awake! 」

I hear nostalgic voices.

And from behind me, I felt an aura of nostalgia.

I was hugged from behind by two warm and gentle hills.

Evolution doesn't change much of my slime shape.

If anything, I'll be silver with a gold streak.

So... I was, right? Gold Slime or what?

It can move at the speed of light.

Although it might not be possible, I felt the aura of the “type of the highest slime around” about me.

Here I was sitting on Shion's lap, her cheeks rubbing against mine.

Yep. It feels amazing.

But, thank goodness! As planned, he seemed to have been resurrected.

And I have become the king of the devil.

Moreover, not only Shion, but every person cut down by the Blood Shadows had managed to come back to life.

I'm worried about whether success rates are affected by distance from Me, so I'm glad everyone can bounce back.

Well, I guess even 『Sage Agung』 made a mistake. Although I don't mind if they make me happy.

While rejoicing at his rebirth, I also obediently enjoy the feeling of ***********.

A truly heavenly moment.

But as if to ruin this beautiful moment,

「Oh, Rimuru-sama, are you awake?

But I have to make sure whether you're fully yourself, or we can't calm down.

You have to remember our code, right?

Now, let me confirm. 『How does Shion cook?』 How do you respond! 」

With an evil smile, Benimaru asked me.

Of course I remember, 『Gruesome』 right? Seriously, really worrying.

As I was thinking of responding, I realized the danger I was facing.

Hm? Aren't I being held by Shion right now…?

If I said 『Gruesome』... what will happen I wonder…

A terrifying image filled my mind.

Wouldn't he make me angry?

Damnit damnit! He got me!!! The classic Hiroaki style trap.

What am I supposed to say? What's a good response?

Alrighty! The Great Sage will definitely give a good answer.

I thought, and tried to activate 『Great Sage』 but did not respond.

What does this mean…? Hey, Great Sage !!!

?ik?Announcements. Unique Skill 『Great Sage』 has evolved into Ultimate Skill 『Raphael』

As a result, it has been erased and cannot used.?

Oh. so even my skills are growing.

But, Raphael, huh? Named after an angel; it seems so amazing.

Moreover, the important thing is to get out of this dangerous situation.

All right, Raphael, what's the best line to fool Shion?

?ik?Aqueous. After some calculations, adequate phrases were not found?

No use ~ !!!

The Great Sage was not good with this situation and Raphael was just as bad.

Truth be told, evolution also affects names without changing any parameters!

Of course, this exchange happened within a second.

「Eh? What about my cooking? 」

「Hmm? Oh, it's been a long time that Rimuru-sama has wanted to taste, hasn't it?

That way you will be able to show the results of your efforts.

Surely, he would happily accept his food?

And just an extra note, I don't need it! 」

Benimaru said something very evil.

And try to rid himself of it. This bastard!

You know..when I wake up in a good mood, the eternal sleep punishment is…!

Shion happily accepted her proposal, and hurriedly ran away while shouting “I have received her help!”

I felt a great fear overwhelm me.

“Hey what are you doing! There's no way I can answer 『Gruesome』!

You set me up on purpose, didn't you, Benimaru! 」

「Hahaha, I don't know what you're talking about. Well, shouldn't you have felt it after all this time? Thanks to the constant taste testing I did, I recently obtained 『Resistance Poison』 ... 」

Benimaru said with a distant look.

A. .. Are you kidding me. 『Resistance Poison』 …

Didn't you just equate his cooking with poison ?!

Truly tragedy. To find myself in it right after waking up.

Only after enduring one danger, to find myself in another danger?

The revived come to welcome Me.

Although their auras changed slightly, their personalities seemed to be the same.

There were no irregularities in the memories, and their souls were properly attached to their bodies.

However, each of them has gained extra skills 『Memori Sempurna』

「In this way, no matter how many times we die, we will rise!」

They say it as a joke or not?

Extra skill 「Memory Perfect」 is a skill related to soul memory.

What was normally impossible, but they had now acquired skills reserved only for spiritual living beings.

After each one said their greetings, they all returned to work on the festival.

Whether to celebrate their new strength or what, they decide to hold a festival.

But, when they start making funny names for it, like 『Maou』 Birthday Party or 『Let's Worship Rimuru-sama』 Party for example, I sincerely want to stop them.

All right, it's okay.

They can get all the fun they want today. After all, they were already in a very lively mood.

For Japanese people who love festivals, any excuse is good enough.

Because appearing for random reasons for drinking a lot is the nature of every adult.

I have offered help, but with great respect they have rejected My offer.

Well, I can't boast of My ability to prepare for the festival, so I'll rest on demand.

Then, someone that I often see around here runs towards Me.

「Your Resurrection fills Me with endless excitement.

Allow Me to congratulate You from the bottom of My heart on Your rebirth as a demon king 」

He said, bowing deeply.

Who'sis that? Looks like a high-level demon, but I don't know …

「And please forgive his rudeness, but regarding my previous request to be your humble servant …

How's your response? Have you made a decision? 」

Be my servant.? he said?

Umm, I remember once summoning one or two bigger demons…

But no matter how I look at it, he clearly surpasses them?

I was sleepy back then and couldn't see well, so could he be one of them…?

「Are you the person I called using a soldier's corpse?」

“As you said. It was really good food.

As a result, I succeeded. 」

「... Ah, is that so. Good for you”

What about the others?

?ik?Aqueous. 〈Secret Revival Art〉 lacks the necessary energy.

So, and to fulfill their wishes, they have been used and removed.?

Waw.

Raphael said such frightening things in a happy tone.

It was even more heartless than the Great Sage, and only showed that evil personality. And though I thought it was useless a moment ago, it has been supporting Me from the shadows all along.

Sorry for thinking you're useless.

However, to use a demon that only wants to be useful to me is pitiful …

「Alright, understand. From now on you are one of my associates.

What's your name?”

「Oh! You're too good. But the one like me is just a nameless demon. 」

Hm? High ranking existence but no name, yes.

Can't help. Give him a name.

But what's a good name?

There would be no copyright infringement if I used it, wouldn't there? But, since this is a different world, I probably won't be sued…

Ah, whatever.

“Good. In that case, you wouldn't mind if I gave you a name, would you? 」

「Are you really? ‘This is the biggest gift imaginable !!! 」

Her pretty face was curling with a happy smile.

Yeah, I really tend to be loved by monsters.

Seriously time.

This time, the super car series.

Is that…

「Your name is Diablo.

Accept that name, and become my patron god! 」

When I named it, a huge amount of energy came out from Me.

I'm really used to feeling this. But hey, he only took at most half.

I mean, I'm worried about being a high-level demon and he'll take it all, but …

If I remember correctly, when I named the Greater Demon Beretta I only had a third of what I had; I guess the Great Demon was also a high-ranking existence.

?ik?Aqueous. Individual: Diablo is the Archdemon to begin with.

As a result of evolution, the amount of Master's magical energy had increased tremendously.

Compared to the original number, it was now ten times larger?

Y-yeah.

Did Raphael randomly decide to give advice .. But, it seems like I said something that cannot be forgiven.

I mean, I'm glad it's ten times bigger now, but he took half of it ?!

It's.. that's it, right? “Ups, I do it again”?

Wouldn't he be a very powerful demon.

the devil in front of me, kneeling, stopped moving. The black cocoon enveloping his body created a perfect evolutionary posture.

Yeah, I've done it again.

There's no cure for stupidity, so there's nothing I can do right now.

Just hope that if he decides to go berserk, that I will be able to stop him.

Since evolution doesn't seem to be coming to an end soon, I left him there.

From now on: let's be careful in naming monsters!

I promised myself but was sure that I would not keep this promise.

After completely forgetting Diablo, I spent time watching the preparations for the festival.

While everyone was cheerfully fulfilling their duties, I was afraid of the food prepared by Shion.

And then, it came.

To be feared, Shion Cuisine .. is also known as the deadliest weapon.

With a bright and happy smile she brought me food (?).

Time praying. That'shere.

Look at the steamed dishes, man,

「W-waaaaaait ~! Whatisthis? What the fuck?”

It's not food.

I will not allow anyone to recognize this as cooking.

A lot of things flowing in the broth? Is he trying to make ... Stew?

Listen girl, when someone questions your food, you're already lost.

「Hey, hey! Shion, wait. I've got something I need to ask you.

Have you heard the phrase “prepare bum”? 」

「From colleagues, Rimuru-sama! How doesit look? Doesn't that look good? 」

“You fool!

Why are carrots, potatoes, peppers, onions, and other ingredients floating intact there ?!

So you can tell them apart by looking or something?

You have to peel and cut it first! 」

I'm yelling.

And when I saw Benimaru passing by,

「What is all this about? There is clearly no increase? 」

Dodging my words like holy water, Benimaru shrugged his shoulders,

「No, this is impossible for me.

I've hit a wall. A wall called reality.

I never thought that something was impossible, but this time I felt the defeat of 」

He said while running away.

What's with “wall nonsense called reality”. Stop fuckin' me.

I have to eat it, huh…?

When I saw Shion, her eyes were filled with tears and she trembled.

Having no choice, opening my heart to the unknown like a monk, I decided to take the first step towards nirvana…

「Oke, I'll eat it.

But, next time, please at least prepare the material .. 」

「Umm, about that. I did try, but I ended up cutting the building .. 」

“Hah?”

「No,” Edge Hercules “pretty sharp, but rather long ..」

He pointed at odachi on his back.

She was cooking, no. .. trying to cook with it ?!

As I looked towards Benimaru, he raised his hand as if giving up.

A man who is unreliable. My opinion of him quickly fell.

「The sword is not a tool for cooking. Youunderstand?

Surely there's a knife around or something? 」

「No, I'm one with” Hercules ‘Edge “so cheat him a little ..」

「Ah, that's. I'm thinking of giving you a knife as a gift right away, but I guess there's no need for that right now. 」

“I'm wrong! “Hercules ‘Edge” is fine with me cheating, he said! 」

「So ... I will give you a knife in the near future, so please use it to cook」

Very nice guy.

It has to be done. At least, the material can't come out like that anymore.

If I'm in this food ... no, I refuse to admit it as food! .. If I eat this thing, I should get 『Poison Resistance』 I guess.

This will probably be useful from now on.

There is no choice, I have evolved into a demon lord. I won't die from eating some food.

I changed into my human form, and committed to eating it.

While bracing myself, I “welcome” some unknown substance into My mouth.

Without chewing, I swallow. Huh? Something is wrong.

It's very delicious.

N-no way! Even though it looks completely inedible.

I opened my eyes, and, very carefully, ate another spoonful.

Delicious…

Benimaru looked at me, as if he was praying. His eyes asked if I was okay.

It means that when Benimaru tasted it, it felt really bad.

Shion had a triumphant smile on his face.

That bothers me a little.

P 456's

「Shion, what is this …

Why, unlike how it looks, does it taste good? 」

Fufufu, the problem is…

He said, and began the explanation …

In short, in the midst of evolution, when he needed to express his dearest wishes, he wished his cooking was delicious.

I'm sure only he made such a request during my gifting ceremony.

What was he thinking, seriously?

But, I think it's like him; no, it's just Shion.

「Ehe. So, I acquired this skill.

Name, unique skills 『Masak』! 」

I was so amazed that there was nothing I needed to say.

In order to obtain a unique skill for cooking, how persistent was he?

When I asked about it, it turned out that no matter what she used, it turned out to be delicious.

When Shuna found out about this, her eyes were filled with tears of despair and hatred. Well, for someone who strives hard for success, such a skill is unforgivable.

But Shion is really off track trying to improve.

Well, that's meI'm like him, I guess.

That day was festival preparation, and we partied until late at night.

Completely erasing the atmosphere of tragedy a few days ago, the city with a smiling face.

Youmu and Ellen also participated in the festival, and greatly enjoyed themselves.

There are a lot of ways out that have to be fixed tomorrow, and we need to discuss the future.

But not now.

Now, let's enjoy our lives to the fullest.

It's just our way of life.
