Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Hinata And Yuuki

「Did you say recalls?」

“Yes. You know how it takes a while to summon again due to the incredible consumption of magical energy?

And how you have to keep doing it until you call the right pawn; well, the kids are useful too, you know.

Merely, I can't use it anymore now that Rimuru-san stabilized it.

As a result, we lost the contract ... very unfortunate 」

He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Although his words and movements were calculated to make one feel at ease, Hinata felt as if they themselves were afraid.

And to Hinata, though,

「Hmm? You mean, you don't know about that?

When the children exploded from the unstable magic energy, the conditions for the summoning were met.

Using that, we can call again.

That's why even a failed call is not in vain. 」

—-Ah, but unfortunately even the popular hero Masayuki was only a child in the end —-

The words came as if from afar, but Hinata made an angry move.

This guy, what do you think is human life! Maybe he wants to say it.

Hinata cannot tolerate such actions: Yuuki repeatedly calls people to fulfill orders of his business partners.

「Yuuki-oniichan, you saved us, didn't you?」

Alice tearfully asked,

「Ahaha, do you finally understand? I'm just keeping you alive because you've been using it.

Alice, making such a sad face won't help, you know?

I will kill you after your use is exhausted .. In other words, I will keep you alive as long as you are useful 」

Yuuki responded harshly.

A cold-blooded passage awakens inside Hinata, urging her to kill the man standing before her.

This man should not be allowed to live.

「You bastard, not only manipulate me, but also the children!

And where's the other girl?

Where's Chloe Aubert?

Did you erase the memories of the children? 」

Hinata yells, hinata shouts,

「Very unfortunate, keeping insects is very troublesome, and I even got a great pawn …

Then……

And because you have emotions that “freeze” as you cling to the despair left by your mother!… Your facial expression is priceless.

It's very unfortunate. I finished the overly rational and ruthless Hinata with so much effort, and now all of you are now ordinary people with a strong sense of justice.

By the way, who is Chloe Aubert? 」

Those words made Hinata angry.

However, Hinata calms down and thinks: Yuuki doesn't look to lie because he doesn't know who Chloe O’Bell is.

What's this about? Hinata repeated while controlling her anger.

From the corner of Hinata's eyes she could see Alice's teary face.

It was enough, this man could no longer be left to talk at will. Hinata thought as she drew her sword from the Holy Spirit Bracelet-shaped armor.

At the same time, light particles curved around Hinata's body. When the wild dance of light died down, a fully armed Hinata appeared.

「Yuuki, for the sake of our old friendship, I will give you a chance to repent.

Now swear you'll apologize now, confess, and compensate for your crimes. 」

「Ahaha, why? What's the apology for?

Isn't that the law of the jungle in this world?

The weak, the deceived are the bad, you know? 」

TN Note: Law of the Jungle basically means survival of the fittest/the strong feed on the weak.

「Don't give me that shit!」

With his fury like roaring flames, Hinata's sword flashed towards Yuuki.

The main weapon of the new holy spirit weaponry was a katana-shaped sword. Previously, Hinata used a rapier that also had the ability to cut off the sides, but it was slightly thicker, with a very small difference.

There is not much difference in terms of weight control and inertia, but when using fencing techniques, these techniques are easier to use than swords.

The performance is the same or higher.

The new saint spirit armor that was copied and analyzed with the abilities of the demon lord, now had a higher level of performance than before.

In short, Hinata can use the equipment as if she was born in it.

A wound cut through Yuuki's cheek as she avoided the flash of the sword with a clown expression

A red line, with a drop of blood flowing out.

The expression on Yuuki's face had disappeared. As he looked down on his enemy, his mocking attitude did not change.

「Hee .... How surprising. I think I'm really avoiding it. Hinata what happened? In such a short time your strength increases. When the parasite attaches to you, your power grows like any other ordinary person. 」

Although he could have lied, Yuuki revealed that he was able to measure the strength of the target he infected with the parasite.

That's according to Hinata's prediction. The problem is how close Yuuki is to getting the power known as “egg hero”.

As the Grandmaster of the Freedom Association, his abilities would naturally be high. He was above the S-Rank adventurers.

Previously, when the holy church teamed up with the Freedom Association to subdue the evil dragon on the united front, Hinata had witnessed a glimpse of Yuuki's power.

Without relying on skills, he dealt the final blow to the evil dragon with his own physical strength. Yuuki himself claimed that the nature of his sturdy body was the only thing inherited in this world.

It would be dangerous to believe that. No doubt he has other hidden abilities.

Moreover, was he being controlled by Demon Lord Kazalim? It seems like he's not like that.

Although there was a reasonable possibility that he had obtained controlling abilities from Demon King Kazarim, Hinata felt the need to confirm the relationship between the two.

If he was actually being manipulated by the Demon King known as “King Magic”, he wanted to help. He was hopeful that he was actually being manipulated.

Therefore, Hinata decided to do a final check just in case.

「Yuuki, are you being manipulated by Kazalim?”

Or ..... is the person who is talking to Me right now Kazarim “Chaos Lord”? 」

In response, an evil grin appeared on Yuuki's face as he nodded.

「Eh? Ah, Ahahah. Is that true, or is it?

I, no, we are Kazarim!… Just kidding.

Ahahaha, really, you really did attract Hinata. 」

Yuuki continued to laugh as if something funny had been said. His laughter echoed for a moment.

Although that attitude was filled with gaps, he had no intention of attacking. It was extremely distorted, and gave Hinata a bad premonition.

While continuing to stare at the laughing Yuuki, he sent a signal to Fritz.

Fritz also equipped his spirit armor, and his battle preparations were already finished.

In response to Hinata's signal, she takes a position to protect the children.

The children also sensed Yuuki's strange demeanor as they huddled around Alice protectively. Although they were unable to fully understand the situation well, they were still able to understand that they were being taken advantage of. Hinata was only happy because they were not too sad to cry or try to attack her.

There were no signs among the children that they had been brainwashed, and even if they were Fritz could still cope.

The children left behind in Fritz's care, Hinata is focusing on Yuuki.

Suddenly, Yuuki stopped laughing and,

“Hei? Why do you think I'm on the same level as that type of small fried fish? 」

With her regular expressionless face, she asked Hinata again.

Without waiting for a reply,

「When I was summoned to this world, I wondered in my spiritual body when the worm (Kazarim) came crawling towards Me.

When I was in the spirit world, he said some

self important things. I don't remember a single one because I'm not interested.

By the way, if I come back, my self-proclaimed right hand Kagali assimilated with him.

Because I'm interested in his abilities, I took them.

He really wanted to serve me, so I let him live.

With his wealth of knowledge, he is useful in his own way. 」

Miss Kagari

He was the Second Person of the Freedom Association.

She's beautiful with elf blood on her veins.

Hinata remembered that when she came to this world, she had taken care of him.

An archmage aiming to achieve the truth, he was someone who had the highest firepower in the Freedom Association.

The woman, Kagari, could be considered Yuuki's perfect henchman because she had assimilated Kazarim rather than being brainwashed.

Not just brainwashing and investigating thoughts, the roots Yuuki had established had seeped deep within his soul.

In fact,

These words confirmed that Yuuki and Kazarim had actually made contact, he was even able to show that he was eliminating the abilities of his subordinate, Kazarim.

Hinata has decided that Yuuki's words are not lies. Even when taking into account the various possibilities, there is not much benefit in lying.

That meant, worrying about Yuuki's consciousness, and worrying about returning it to normal was useless.

It was Yuuki's intention from the beginning, and we were all part of the plot.

“....Was it so. That means, a good attitude, and a good smile that's …

all that and everything you say is just acting? 」

「Ah, so. I get it now.

In other words, you want to help because you think I was manipulated by Kazarim. Whatisit?

Very bad! That doesn't make any sense. I am the one who manipulates. Only I manipulated 」

Yuuki answered Hinata's question with great scorn.

Considering everything that happened, it was as if Yuuki was happy to see Hinata suffer.

As if he was having fun, his mouth curved into a cold grin.

Hinata obtained “Hero” Eggplant after she overcame deception and lies, and after she saw all the anomalies, gained the ability “Mata righteous”.

Even when looking at it through these eyes, no lies were detected in Yuuki's words. He just reveals the facts.

There is little room to speak, concluded Hinata.

「Yuuki .... last question. What is your purpose in calling?

Why are you manipulating Clayman and causing upheaval with the orc lord, then causing a war between the Church and Tempest?

Do you understand this is making the world a mess!? 」

「Aha. Ahahaha. You say interesting things.

The last one, huh? Right, this is the end for all of you.

All right, I'll tell you.

That's because it's interesting, that's the only reason.

What other reasons might there be?

I intend to unite the world into one.

Angels, Spirits, Devils, I want to rule everything.

Unfortunately, is it possible to rule the world with my current abilities?

That's why, I have to work hard and diligently. 」

Yuuki replied in response to Hinata's question.

Instead of conquering the world, he called it domination. As absolute ruler, Yuuki will declare his rule.

The reason was something more abnormal than Hinata.

World Domination is impossible. Didn't his common sense tell him that no matter how amazing he was, he wouldn't be able to dominate the entire world?

This guy is crazy! Hinata began to feel an unpleasant chill on her back.

Deep in her trembling heart, Hinata realized that she felt fear.

This was not because of his strength and type, but rather his serious attitude in declaring his terrible attempt at world domination.

Then,

Kotsun Kotsun Kotsun ……

The sound of walking echoed in the hallway.

The presence of the saint was unlike anything Hinata had ever felt.

However, that mysterious presence felt unnatural due to the lack of color and feeling, as well as its undetermined direction.

「Ah, he finally came.

Unfortunately for You Hinata, there are no more chances of victory for You.

Between you and me, you can kill me.

As expected, you can't stop me.

This, is a game. A simple game.

I want to rule the world, and the world tries to prevent it.

For the sake of victory, I gave everything.

You also have to give everything to stop me right?

You have ignored him, that is why you lost. 」

At the same time as Yuuki finished speaking, a door from the side of the corridor opened, and a girl entered.

With long black hair gathered at the back of his head, he was clad in a light black equipment.

A more compact version of Hinata's own holy armor that does not block movement at all.

A very pretty face.

He placed one hand on the sword hanging below his waist.

The girl walked quietly.

This is “true heroes”, known as the strongest.

His eyes were lacking in sparkle as they were covered in pitch-black darkness, his entire body emitting an inviolable holy aura.

An incredible aura began to suppress Hinata and the children.

Yuuki didn't even need any tricks at first.

There was no need to manipulate children, his fighting ability was much greater than Hinata, this was his trap.

「What is it... Hero …….? Why, the hero is here ……? 」

Behind Hinata, Fritz muttered.

For that word,

「Ah, Clayman has several uses in the end.

Although I want him to rise as a true demon king to make it as my pawn, I already have Kazalim.

In exchange, I asked him to gather all the demon lords.

In this way, Luminas who keep “heroes asleep” will not exist.

You may not have done it, but did you know Luminas, who manipulated “hero” was the true ruler of the Holy Church of Ruberius?

I decided to capture it from Luminas to use it efficiently.

Thanks to all your efforts, I now have complete control over the hero.

It's actually impossible to dominate children in such a way, you know. You're not worried about anything.

But I have to say, You fret it's fun to watch! 」

Yuuki happily revealed it.

Hinata also understood that there were no lies in her speech, and she felt the world disappear before her

That meant, Yuuki had just said that the demon king Luminas was the real ruler of the Church.

If so, the Holy Kingdom of Ruberius had its capital ruled by the demon lord.

It was no wonder why the Holy Empire of Ruberius had also sensed the unnatural presence of monsters.

Thus, the system of domination built up over hundreds of thousands of years, the teaching of the church, was full of lies from the very beginning.

(That means… ..I was used not only by Yuuki, but also by the demon lord ..).

However, it was not limited to just Hinata.

Those belonging to the Holy Empire of the Ruberius and the Western Church, were all taken advantage of.

Yuuki continued to talk to Hinata who was overwhelmed with despair.

「Please help Me and consider this for a moment: won't you join Me Hinata?

Looks like you have got “Telur Pahlawan”, and even able to wake her up.

The increase of our troops is always welcome.

Considering we are from the same country, I'll even make you an executive. How about that? 」

「Don't mess with me! A bastard like you doesn't deserve pity.

Here and now, I will punish You for Your sins! 」

Rejecting Yuuki's invitation, he gripped his sword.

However, contrary to his vociferous proclamation, a reverse signal was sent to the fritz.

This result was far worse than one could imagine.

Hinata would make him stand, while Fritz would secure the escape route. No matter the cost.

The strength of the opponent was far above them and this was the best he could do.

「Can't say that I expect you to say otherwise …

Well, I talked for a second, didn't I?

Did you know, uncover the secret behind the scenes action when faced as a mastermind?

I've always wanted to try it once, it's amazing and fun.

Then, after uncovering all of this, didn't the puppeteer usually lose?

Want to know if I'm flying a flag?

I have just set up and hoisted a big flag, so try your best to defeat Me.

Perhaps you might be able to rise as a hero and defeat us? 」

These were the last words exchanged between Hinata and Yuuki.

What happened after that was a battle.
