Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Conferences

Each member of each department gathered in a large meeting hall.

As for Ranga, I forgot that she was sleeping in my shadow.

She is in sleep mode – conscious but unable to move.

I can't measure his abilities, but it's clear that he's going through some kind of evolution.

Well, he'll probably run if I'm in a dangerous situation.

He was a bit uninterested in the conference but still listened.

I guess it's time to start.

As I was thinking of declaring that the meeting had begun,

「I'm sorry for the interruption in the middle of the meeting!

Ladies and gentlemen, a guest has arrived.

Here, about urgent matters and request a live audience with you .. 」

A soldier on guard ran in and reported it.

Rigurdo was about to reprimand the soldier, but Kaijin calmed him down.

We haven't started yet, so it's okay. However, it was unsettling that people could easily enter here.

「Rigurdo, we need to check it later」

“Ay. I'm really ashamed of myself. 」

「Well, we just got the idea and everyone is working hard as is」

I answered, comforting him.

Even if we find something less we just need to improve it later.

So maybe it is best to think about long-term gains.

I sent the guest here.

「It's been a long time, Rimuru-dono.

We've come to help you as long as you need. We hope it's not too late 」

With these words, the Fuze Guild Association of the Brumund Kingdom Freedom Association entered.

Fully armed, ready for war.

Hm? Hmmmm?

If I think about it, how many, 10 days has it been since the 50 adventurers and merchants left?

And we asked them to pass on information and ask for help, I guess.

I'm really grateful, but are they okay when hanging out with us?

「I'm sorry for bothering you during your busy war preparations.

However, we find your defense lacking. The main power of the Farmas Kingdom has yet to come, right?

According to our intel, a total of 15 thousand troops came.

Although it can boost your morale, I hardly see this as a good time to have fun.

Although we may be lacking in capability, we will support you with our best ability 」

Clearly ready to die, he delivered this hot speech.

Yep. It was very difficult to tell him that the war was over.

And continue,

「It's a nice city.

Carefully constructed houses adorn your well-planned streets.

The paved road would not lose even to the Royal Capital.

I'm appalled.

I barely want to turn it into a battleground. I suggest we launch a surprise attack to quickly crush the enemy's head.

We have heard the church support the enemy.

I see, we have brought over 50 B rankers to the top of the adventurers.

The state cannot support you openly. I hope you understand…

But fifty of us will cut deep into enemy ranks and slaughter .. 」

The members of the department stared blankly at Fuze, who continued his passionate speech.

For us it's all been there, doing that kind of thing.

But I wish Brumund would leave us. To think they actually sent reinforcements …

Even though we have a deal with them, there must be a way out…

This makes me happy.

But it is.

“Yes. I appreciate the sentiment, but it's over 」

“More? You mean what?”

「How should I say this …

In other words. In a few words, I destroyed them! 」

Although he was speechless, his face clearly said “Huuuh?”

Youmu came to pat her on the shoulder and Cabal said something to comfort her.

Ellen and Gido say things like “Excellent, right!”

Yeah, I guess so

I mean, it hasn't even been two weeks since they declared war.

They might expect the army to take a week to get here, we buy two or three days to fight in the fields, and, if worst comes to worst, hide in the fort.

So when they arrived and saw us without a burden, they seemed to have convinced themselves that the army was too late.

Even though we were so excited that they suspected something was wrong…

After all, thanks to Ellen and Cabal's explanation, they seemed to have understood the situation.

So we asked our soldiers to escort fifty people waiting outside to the — inn to relax.

Since it's this way, I might as well ask Fuze to participate in the conference.

Although he could not represent the official position of Brumund Kingdom, he could at least give a human opinion.

Now, let's start the conference! I wanted to say, but

「Umm, do you have time?」

Bester asked, raising his hand.

Did something happen?

“What? Is there a problem?”

I asked, I asked,

“Iya. The thing is, we finished developing the magic item's long-range communication ball …

Now it is possible to talk while looking at the other party 」

Hmph.

An incredible discovery, but why take it now?

I thought, but

「When I reported the incident to the Dwarf King, he told me that he had some things he wanted to say …

So since we're all gathered here, I think this might be a good time 」

I'm seeing.

If it's just that, I don't see any problems.

「Better. I don't mind, but shouldn't the conversation be kept secret?

We have Youmu and the Association Chairman here, so is it alright?

If this is a private conversation, shouldn't we hold it later? 」

「Ah, not at all. The Dwarf King also wanted to mention a few things about international relations in the future…

When I told him about the conference today, he said that he would gather his ministers also 」

「So they're waiting there?」

“Iya. That's 」

So ... we have never announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Dwarf Kingdom.

The two contracts we have are non-aggression agreements and technology cooperation agreements.

Although it is meaningless if our country no longer exists. But now we have the advantage.

I believe that the previous events had a magnitude that they could not ignore.

If anything, we prove to be a country that can destroy and an army of 15 thousand people.

Will they formally declare diplomatic relations between us or perhaps seek to destroy us as enemies of mankind?

「Better, I have to ask, did you tell him that I have become the demon king?」

“Ah Yes. I told him everything 」

Ah, as expected.

He should have only confirmed it this morning so he quickly gathered the ministers just showing how sad he was to see this situation.

Well, if you were told that a demon king class monster created a city and evolved into a demon king, surely you would sweat a little.

He'll find out sooner or later. So this might be a good opportunity.

So at this point, continuing the conversation as is probably not going to cause any further problems.

I mean, when planning the next step, I did want to hear his opinion.

“Understanding. Then bring the communication equipment and set up.

We will wait for you and prepare emergency board 」

I declare.

It's a sudden development, but it's also a good opportunity.

After all, we decide our future here.

So, we decided to hold a global conference instead of meeting now, scheduling it in an hour.

Right after relaxing, Fuze heard our conversation and with an incredible expression on her face ran towards me.

And,

「Hey, didn't you just say something very important now?

I may be wrong, but did you just say that you became a demon lord? 」

He said with trembling.

Does he need to pee? No need to hold back, we have a bathroom around.

「Hmm? Ah, demon king, right?

I became one, what about that?

But more importantly, before you pee, shouldn't you use the restroom? 」

“Are you an idiot?! There's no time for that!

Become the demon king, yo! What's up with that?”

From scratch? Not good if I don't explain it from the beginning?

Well, I did tell him that I annihilated the troops, but I guess I can't expect him to guess the rest.

I decided to summarize the incident and explain.

So, I explained everything to Fuze.

「Im sorry for the interruption! Another guest is looking for an audience with Rimuru-sama.

How should we proceed? 」

The same soldier as last requested.

What's up with that. So many guests today.

Leaving Fuze, who said something (grumbled) in the sky, I decided to meet this guest.

I headed to the room where the guests were waiting for me.

When I entered, I saw a man dressed beautifully and five men who had the aura of an experienced attendant about them.

The man was sitting on the sofa with five officers standing behind him.

I could easily see that they were well trained.

The man sitting on the sofa had a good face and could easily become a model in his youth.

His narrowed eyes will be his trademark.

「Ah, good afternoon. Sorry for waiting.

Nice to meet you, I am Rimuru, currently working as the King of this city.

I hope we get along well! 」

I greet them in a way that I consider appropriate.

Even though I became the demon lord, I don't know about manners or formality.

Nor does anyone around here know much about it…

Well, I thought it would be nice to be taught these things.

Upon hearing my greeting, the narrow-eyed man stood up.

And opened his eyes wide with Kuwa !,

「So, are you the devil who has bewitched my daughter?

Have you said your prayers! 」

He said, starting to cast an extremely high burning spell.

Oi! Grandpa is crazy.

From what I see, it's the highest level spell he got there.

At this level of power would definitely cause damage to the city.

Obviously the spells used to fight the army.

What's the matter with this guy? I don't understand what he's saying.

I cheated on his daughter? What's that about?

Just when I was really confused,

「Wait, Papa! Why did you come here?!!”

Ellen's in.

And perhaps after noticing his spell from a glance, he hit the man right on the head.

“Suppaaaa!” A beautiful voice echoed throughout the room, and the man regained his sanity.

It seems this old geezer is Ellen's father.

And after hearing Ellen's explanation, she finally calmed down.

How annoying he is.

「I ~, A ha ha ha. My fault.

I've heard that my daughter was captured by some demon lord so I'm quite panicked! 」

He said with a bright smile.

Even so, what was the point of preparing for the highest-level burning spell? What a silly father.

「No, Your Grace. Received reports are true but you jumped to the wrong conclusion 」

「I know it, Papa is wrong here!」

A secretary and Ellen ganged at him.

It was a bit sad, but I didn't feel sympathy for him. He only paid for his own stupidity.

After everything calmed down, he introduced her to the experience again.

Ellen's father, a squinty-eyed man, was a high nobleman of the Sorcerer’s Dynasty Sarion, Duke Enalude.

He was related to the emperor, precisely his uncle.

In short, he was one of the three higher-ups of Sarion.

I can't hide my surprise.

E-Ellen is a true ojou-sama ?!

She could even be called a princess. Being an adventurer on that social status; he was too free-willed.

I think those who stopped him were right, but I won't do it alone.

I mean, he doesn't seem to care. There might be people protecting him from the shadows as well.

They have done well to keep information from slipping.

Though it may be the result of Cabal and Gido's hard work. Let's thank them later.

But now.

「So, is the purpose of your visit limited to Ellen?」

That's not funny.

I glanced at Duke Enalude, though,

「Fufufu. Of course, that's not the case.

We're considering how we should treat your country from now on, so I've come to see it for myself.

No need to worry about believing I'm careless. This body is just a homunculus. 」

I watched his words.

For someone important from the Sorcerer’s Dynasty, his body had a bit of magical energy.

Although the officer looked real, the man's body was not.

As expected of a high noble. He's cautious.

But more importantly.

I want to learn how to make a homunculi later.

And that brings us to the next point.

Duke Elalude will also participate in the conference.

An hour has passed now.

Time to start the conference.

Back in the big conference room, I found everyone waiting for me.

I asked the Duke group to be ushered into a set of empty seats.

Perhaps it is best to start with a self-introduction. That is, there are many people here who have connections to big countries.

So, let's get started.

First, everyone who was not from Tempest would introduce themselves.

Dwarf Kingdom, Dwargon military state.

Representing them: their own king. Gazelle Dwargo's. Although it was only projected as in the image, its dignity was impossible to hide.

The small country of Brumund.

Unfortunately, no one represented them.

However, we have Fuze, Chairman of the Freedom Association Branch Union.

And, he was rather friendly with Baron Belouard.

Although he did not have a firm opinion, his opinion should have weight.

The sudden addition to our table, the high nobles of the Sorcerer’s Dynasty Sarion.

Duke Egalude was a bad and loving father, but his current face was a stoic noble.

And, through his position in the council, he held control over the entire country.

So don't underestimate it.

As soon as he saw the guests, it was clear that many prominent people had appeared.

Meeting monsters alone can make us fall into some wrong conclusions. Therefore, I am grateful that we have so many participants from the human side.

Next, we introduce all the members of Tempest.

And, it's finally my turn.

「Ah, correct.

There's one person I'd like to introduce to you.

Although you may have heard his name.

So please don't be surprised.

Now, out! 」

Then I started the introduction.

Knowing what was about to happen, Gabil gulped his saliva and stiffened.

The air in the room changed, and everyone fell silent.

And,

「Kuahahaha! I have been called and here I am !!! 」

I called Veldora out via “Storm Dragon Release”.

Using my clone as a base, he appeared as a beautiful young man.

Gave everyone a glimpse, though,

「This is my best friend, Veldora. Please be kind to her! 」

I introduced him, though,

「Veldora is the name, although I am called” Dragon Storm “. Nice to meet you!”

Veldora greeted everyone.

Silence enveloped the room.

Nobody moved.

And, with failure, Fuze and Ellen fainted, shouting “Ay !!” The group of Rigurdo and the hobgoblins prostrated before him…

Everything's getting very messed up.

Of course, the conference was temporarily suspended for a break.

… We haven't started yet, have we.
