Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Tournament Preparation

Myormiles rushed back to his shop.

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

Is he really going to wait for me?

A little worried, he entered the shop.

When he did, he saw the sweet girl (?) Lying on the train.

And, when he saw Myormiles, (s) he smiled broadly.

“Yo! That was fast”

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

That is, without a doubt, Mr. Rimuru.

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

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

Certainly, it 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.

「Well, what. I have a job request, you understand? I'm sure that Myormiles will be able to handle it.

I've got an upcoming show and I want the producer.

Can I hand it to you? 」

With a big 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 it involved danger.

Despite this, though,

「What kind of way will Danna talk about?」

Myormiles, for some reason, wanted to hear more.

Somehow, he was fascinated by this person. Without thinking of profit and loss, 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 excitement.

Therefore, he heard Rimuru's explanation.

He revealed a surprising proposal.

Tempest will soon hold the Tournament, 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 support the contestants.

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

It doesn't matter, however, if the entrance is free. As long as Tempest's dining and lodging venues are properly advertised.

More importantly, move ten thousand guests. Although the highway has been prepared, there is a need to manage transpo gerbongrtation and provisions.

Especially the number of guests. Offering lodging.

Just thinking about the wealth that would move here made his saliva watery.

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

The problem is permanent economic stimulation and maximizing profits.

That's the point of this tournament.

Too funny!

To prepare such a detailed plan was only to hand it over in the hands of Myormiles!

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

「Ha, hahahaha! How cruel. Rimuru-sama is the bad guy 」

“Hahaha. Me, Me! But not as bad as you! 」

Both laughed loudly.

With evil smiles on their faces.

「You understand that big capital will move around here, right?」

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

I will give you results that Rimuru-sama will be completely satisfied with! 」

A huge amount of capital will flow in this event.

As Rimuru said.

Really.a scary creature.

How far he can see…

「On that note, I might see another way to use restorative medicine.

It's possible to be restored as long as someone doesn't die, I believe …

So maybe we can sell it to the participants

And, the real purpose is to advertise, right?

So from now on people visit Tempest more often, right?

Based on that goal, my job is.. 」.

“... As expected. I'm glad I decided to hand this over to you, Myormiles!

I don't mind if the tournament doesn't turn a profit.

“I want to come again!” If people leave with that feeling, then we succeed. I'm handing you an invitation. Okay?”

So they shake hands.

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

There are many ways to manage events 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 posed.

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 later, if this goes well, would you like to join us?

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

We've grown quite big lately, 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 strings of his heart, echoed again and 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 the days of Myormiles, 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 of.

Even after Rimuru got out of the schedule of the next meeting, the excitement did not diminish.

Everything will be busy.

First, it stated its intention to collect its possessions.

If this event was completed successfully, no, he would make it a success, he had no plans to return to Brumund.

So he declared so.

And ask,

“What will you do? If you like this big house, I don't really care? 」

And after hearing these words, all his attendants replied,

『Allow us to travel with Kamu』

They say.

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 ask some people to stay back if Brumund would thrive.

Ordering his servant to pack up, he returned to his shop.

And he called the clerk to the office.

Before the officer sat down,

「Yo, lately you are quite good, 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.

But in reality, he lost his original ‘rumah’ due to a terrible failure, and only became a scribe to get a place to stay.

There is no doubt about his work ethic. He was someone Myormiles could rely on.

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

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

With a big nod, though,

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

I'm leaving this country, so I decided to hand over the store to you.

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

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 is very expected to be able to recover store prices.

Myormiles the merchant is not a sweet individual.

In fact…

(If he can't make the payment, it just shows that he failed to start)

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 a contract for the exchange of commodities.

There's no oversight in this.

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

And, adding to their shock, he added,

「At one in a million chance of something happening, you are free to consult Me.

But, I'm sure you'll be able to complete the new order immediately.

Remember to avoid dubious deals with nobles! 」

Everyone nodded at his words.

Then,

「Umm .. is it not allowed for us to follow you, sir?」

Some of them said.

These five individual Myormiles saw great potential.

So he was very surprised.

He never expected them to willingly abandon their livelihood to follow him.

Therefore, he was confused as to how to respond to it.

But those who ask do not waver in the least.

The former officer smiled and said,

「Myormiles-sama, everyone here is your student.

Please take these people with you 」

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

「Hahaha, so you're worried about that! I, too, have followed your teachings, You know! 」

Myormiles nodded once at these reassuring words.

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

So he decided to accept the proposal.

So, after watching the preparations for the 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 okay, but how should we take advantage of it?

That's the thought that started all this.

Even falling is not free.

I ordered the creation of the Colosseum immediately. The plains where we faced the knights were where we decided to build this magnificent building. Easily accessible and otherwise convenient.

We declare that the tournament will be held simultaneously with the Devil King's proclamation ceremony.

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 more powerful beings to our ranks.

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

How ~ ever! Since they are going to fight this time, we will soon find out their strength.

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

If we only display the power of my Cabinet, the vagrant demons might be persuaded not to go berserk.

The fool who decides to cause any damage will be erased. If possible, I'd rather we add them to our ranks before that happens.However, they say the angels will come attacking.

Even though it was the first time I heard it, I saw hardly any reason to stop our progress.

I want a nice and comfortable 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 are hardly interested in coins, so I declare that I will grant a reasonable request.

Hopefully, a large number of participants will be featured.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a show.

For someone who enjoys year-end show fighting 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.

Although I can do it myself, it is too troublesome.

And then I remembered Myormiles-kun.

What an incredible resource.

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

It may even be held as an annual event.

In fact, he had thought about the drug sales plan at the event.

Really scary 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 laying the foundation so they do not mind having to increase the size of the building.

Even though I was originally against box seats, I guess that would be important.

By the way, the Cabinet unanimously announced the 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 meet with “Who is it?” gazes.

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 just walk away.

With a carefree attitude, I approached the receptionist.

“Yo. I'm Rimuru; will Fuze exist?

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, I haven't seen you in a long time! How's it going? 」

「Hmm? Oh, fine! You seem to be doing well too.

So, can I meet him? 」

“Ah Yes. Please follow me!”

I was immediately let through.

Behind me, I can hear: “Serious ?! Who is that woman!” 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.

“Yo! I came to play. What's wrong? Something on your mind? 」

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

「Eh? Really? Really threat. Why are you so relaxed ?! 」

「No, no, the demon lord is right in front of me. So what should I do?”

「Oh? Did ya? How about serving tea?

Maybe a cake is a good idea? 」

「Kue, yes ... what the hell is this! Do you think I can get such a 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 tell him a brief version of the Walpurgis Banquet incident.

That there are Eight Demon Kings now called “Octogram”.

And most importantly.

The Guild Leader of that Freedom Association, Kagurazaka Yuuki, is somehow connected to Chaos Lord Kazarim.

Fuze muttered in disbelief.

But without doubting my story, he began to consider countermeasures.

Instead, while doubting my words, I must say them.

If I'm wrong – is good, if I'm right – then an absolute action plan is required.

Better to stay careful. He's a reliable man.

「On that note, I thought it would be better to use this magic item that precaution 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. 」

「Understanding ... That's just to be expected. I'm going to try to find someone who can eliminate brainwashing and mind control skills. 」

He quickly accepted.

He's far ahead of me.

「Contact Me if something happens」

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

「Hey, Danna ... what is this ..?」

「Communication devices and fees required. Enough?”

“It will help. But to take this much out, was it serious? 」

「That's him. I don't think Ingracia is at all trustworthy at this point.

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

Fuze's expression became even more serious when I said it.

And he started nagging himself.

「Serius ... everything is much more peaceful before you appear ...」

「Isn't that good, you got a job. And that great one! 」

Fuze raised her hand as if giving up,

「Make request」

She said. With a face full of determination.

It was hard to ask him to question his superior.

I felt sorry for him, so I decided to explain in more detail.

My real purpose is children.

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

But if I handle this poorly, he'll find out that I suspect him. So it has to be done in a very secret way.

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 take this slow, so I'm sure we should carefully continue here.

「I have accepted that request. Leave it to me!”

Fuze nodded and promised.

For now, he will use trusted people to browse through 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 while nodding, we concluded by discussing the finer details.
