Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Main Action

At one point, the conference area was in an uproar, but it had somehow subsided.

Those who fell unconscious were taken care of, and those who desperately asked about Veldora were placated.

There were a lot of problems involving this and that, but somehow I managed to solve it.

Everyone panicked more than I thought. That's so fucked up.

As expected of Veldora.

There is not a single individual who is not afraid of “Hurricane”.

Well, if the “Castaster” class monster suddenly appears, it's only natural that people start to panic.

Even so, it will turn into chaos no matter what, so it's best to introduce him early.

While making future plans from now on, I also have to think about Veldora's movements huh.

Humans, Fuze and Ellen, Youmu and the dwarves etc, have gotten me used to seeing their pale faces.

Even though I had suppressed it, they must have been affected by Veldora's demonic aura.

Every executive was ordered to suppress their demonic aura, and they were very experienced with this.

After analyzing the barrier and simplifying it, someone was placed in the room.

After all, even in a sealed state, ordinary B rank monsters were nothing compared to Veldora emitting this demonic aura.

Even so, I have confidence that I can withstand his demonic aura.

I thought it would be fine because of my abilities after evolution made such a feat possible …

「Is everything okay? How are you all feeling? 」

What I hear is,

「...... I heard nothing about this, regarding this matter. 」

「Wait a minute .. Veldora san is a friend? Can you tell me more about this? 」

「...... If I report this to the guild master ..... wait, I am a guild master! 」

And so forth.

I was suddenly overwhelmed by grievances and hateful gazes.

Even if you say something like that, huh?

TN Note: “Nee” here is something like “Nee” in “Desu yo nee...” I think.

Taking everything, even if I say such a thing, it would be hard to believe Me, right?

Besides, I'm not even supposed to talk about this.

However, instead of being stunned by the demonic aura, they were just stiff-hearted.

That's Fuze, if I don't advise him to go to the toilet early, something will leak.

How lovely! Ok?

I was glared at after patting her on the shoulder.

Since I was the one who gave him that advice, I thought he wanted to thank me, but it was something he probably wouldn't do.

Fine whatever.

「Hm? I didn't tell you? I think I did, or maybe not ……

Well, that was all in the past, so we're fine now right?

Put that aside, let's start the conference! 」

I said that with a refreshing smile on my face, but it was not well received.

「「 「DON'T SOLVE THAT EASILY !!! 」」 」

They protested in unison.

Somehow, everyone calmed down and after an hour of delay, the conference continued.

………

……

…

About the opening topic of this conference.

While there are a number of topics, talking about small details as well when explaining something is a good way to save time.

Therefore, this state of explaining in detail was also a request from everyone.

It was troublesome, but as if I was repeating, I began My conversation from My meeting with Veldora.

I also briefly alluded to the matter about Me as a “World Traveler. Because, at this point, I don't think there's any point in hiding it anymore.

You don't know where or when it will leak, so I won't be bothered by this anymore, once it's revealed.

Demon King is “World Explorer”, therefore it is not something impossible anymore.

After all, demon king Leon Cromwell was also originally “World Explorer”.

Then, I quickly explained the fight against the Orc lord and also the reason why we built the city at this location.

Sharing information is important.

The one on the receiving side is disconnected and displays a wide variety of different reactions.

So, I moved on to talk about my expectations when I went to the human city.

I missed My daily life in the city, but I did talk about My fight with Hinata.

He's a dangerous man.

If anyone other than me were to fight him, they would definitely be killed.

“Purification barrier (Holy Barrier)” hers is a very dangerous skill.

Regardless of the barrier, he might have something to use against a single target.

Among those whom I share knowledge, I telepathically pass along images to executives to ensure they do not forget.

「Hinata Sakaguchi Yes. That woman, she was at first glance looking ruthless, she even gave a strong impression of being a cold-blooded assassin.

Yet…

Helping those who reach for his hand, ignoring the advice,

It is based on the information we collect.

For example, for those who rely on him, I'm sure he'll help them.

Help those who reach for his hand, ignore the advice, and this person seems to have no partner.

That's why, the problem of his treatment of children, I can't believe it. 」

This was what Fuze said when he came in.

Great, this old man is a well-informed person.

He helps those who reach for his hand, but those who ignore and do not listen to his advice will never see him again.

There were many who came to seek his help, yet he ignored their requests for help, He was an idiot.

If his character was similar to a rationalist, then it was no wonder that he did such a thing.

That's what it feels like, though,

「Hmph-deep. Being so good at manipulating information, as expected of a branch guild master of the Free Association Branch.

The accuracy of the information you collect is rivaling ANBU of my country.

The information perfectly matches the one I have 」

TN Note: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Anbu

Saying that, the dwarf king Gazelle nodded.

What does this mean?

「However, that person would not listen to my story at all? 」

「About that, probably because Church doctrine forbids interaction with monsters.

And his ruthless behavior, his known cold actions, he never broke any rules.

The fact is he is the most exemplary knight.

That's why he was nicknamed “Captain of the knight guard division who works directly under paus”.

To name it a pejorative term like A ruthless Killer, you think of its true nature.

However, the information I obtained was based on his public appearance. 」

Fuze answered my question, and the dwarf king nodded.

His widespread reputation was something unexpected.

No, the information regarding the strongest knights of the western religions was certainly a matter that the entire country was doing.

However, if that is the case ……

Raphael could find the answer.

Who does the act of calling the children.

I know about this matter, and I'm in a position where I can tell him about it.

Relevant person, there is only one person who is absent.

It's hard to believe, I don't want to believe it ……

But according to Raphael's reply, there was no doubt.

Anyhow, the problem will be withheld.

We decided to continue the conversation.

.

From the point where I fought with Hinata, I proceeded to talk about the city being attacked.

At this point, Ellen intervened, and tried to stray from the topic of my evolution into a demon lord ……

But he exposed her instead.

「In addition, Papa already knows about that right? 」

Asked, Duke Enalude looked up after hearing this.

「Ellen chan ……

Although Papa already knows it, there is no need to say it to people from other countries ... 」.

The sigh of defeat was also mixed from Duke Enalude.

I understand how you feel.

Among people who neglect adult work, Ellen is worse off. But because of that, there is no need to be vigilant anymore.

After taking over the position, he was informed of the original information about the evolution of the demon lord.

Now, a series of explanations have been completed.

However, when I try to shift the topic to future plans and actions, the,

「I'll say this before.

Regarding the events this time, we from the Magic Dynasty Sarion plan to wait and see.

Even so, regarding the cleanup of civil actions that my daughter did well, I will not push any further.

However, if it is determined that your actions are determined to harm our country, we will destroy you.

I'd like you to consider your future actions based on this. 」

No longer had the face of a foolish old man, but a high noble from the dynasty, he now looked like a politician.

As expected of someone with dignity.

His words have aroused the spirit of the executives. Everything stopped as Shion stood up, and everyone fell silent in a hurry.

Really, really, a grumpy person.

He's getting serious. I too became serious, and decided to respond.

First, we discuss about matters relating to the captured King of Pharmas and the messengers of the church.

So, for the future, we will crown Youmu as king, and a description of the plan aimed at establishing a new kingdom has been given.

While listening to his explanation, Fuze grumbled.

I paused for a moment, thinking about what I just said, gathering my thoughts.

The dwarf king remained silent, and I closed my eyes.

The ministers around the king seemed to be actively giving their own opinions, but their votes did not get here.

Duke Enalude remained silent and did not say any words.

Explanation continues.

First we release the current king, to make him compensate for his efforts to attack the storm.

This is only nominal, but by using this compensation, we will let the kingdom of Pharmas fall into a state of civil war.

In fact, if the king gathered his nobles and tried to fight back, his life would be lost at that moment.

Keeping his promise, releasing himself from the throne, only a matter of compensation would be left in the end. It was impossible for the nobles to pay obediently.

I can imagine the king's son is currently a puppet of nobles because he is not yet an adult.

There was no unity within the faction, as soon as the influence of the king was lost, a dispute for succession would inevitably ensue.

Here, if they decided to pay the compensation, Youmu would be the one to escort them, but this was impossible.

I feel like they'll ignore the compensation.

When this happens, Youmu can oppose it, and because of their beliefs, the flow of these events will lead to a coup.

Since the king has broken his promise, it will be your point of view.

The only difference was on the stage where Youmu would stage his rebellion

After Youmu establishes his new kingdom, his kingdom and our Tempest will establish official diplomatic relations.

Then, we hope to prevent the nobles from uniting to fight back.

After some time has passed, he will announce a policy that will gain the trust of the public. When Youmu's popularity was high, he would crush the nobles with a single move, this kind of strategy.

You should not think about short-term strategies when setting up a country.

Alright, if the king is foolish enough to think of a rebellion once more, Youmu will soon ascend the throne.

When I explain this,

“I saw. Why not implement this plan. Marquis Muller and Count Hermann were friends with Burmund.

If you're involved with those plans, you'll definitely want to rely on them.

During Youmu Dono's rebellion, let's negotiate for them to turn around and support us. 」

That's what fuze said.

I wonder if the guild chairman of the Freedom Association branch has such authority?

Sensing my speculation, he gave an explanation.

In short, both Marquis Muller and Count Hermann were under the protection of King Burmund.

Marquis Muller is a distant relative of King Burmund, the two are actually on good terms

Moreover, Count Hermann was the protege of Marquis Muller, so it seemed that treason was impossible.

Due to the fact that he was a Marquis from a large country, they apparently did not show any affection when coming into contact with each other, but behind all that they were actually close friends.

Is it alright to uncover such a secret?

“Ha ha ha. Even if you call this a secret, I've leaked this secret to the dwarf king's subordinate at ANBU. My Kingdom, the Kingdom of Burmund is the kingdom of information, where Intel is sold.

Since we are a small country, we will be destroyed soon if we do not organize such information.

However, based on the ANBU of the Dwarven king alone, we do not yet understand the full picture.

Right no? His Eminence Gazelle. 」

The Dwarf King Gazelle only raised his eyebrows and showed no further reaction.

However, this made me realize that they do have information about such things.

But even so, though,

「Although so, Fuze. Can you share such information easily?

Even though they were not at the state secret level, wasn't this still important information? 」

「Hm? I don't mind you know. I'm the one who checks it, and more than anything, I can choose to share it with whoever I want. 」

That's what he said.

It was quite surprising, it was something that happened before the break and he looked ready.

This little kingdom was very careful with their steps, and this was proof of how much they trusted Fuze.

He himself said that he had in his hands some information that could put an end to Burmund and the others.

I was going to kidnap this person and get information, was a secret thought that flashed through my mind for a moment.

Duke Enalude who had been listening to our entire conversation suddenly said,

「You Your Majesty, are you an idiot? To begin to obscure the secrets of our country!

Say that you are vigilant .... Don't be silly! 」

I'm pretty mad at him.

But instead Fuze said,

「To be honest, Duke Enalude.

If our country is at war with the country of Rimuru-dono, Tempest, we will be annihilated soon. We have concluded that resistance is futile. Then what should we do?

We avoid war. For that purpose, we are not reluctant and will cooperate as much as possible.

This is the conclusion of my country's top brass.

Originally, I was a member of the freedom association and did not belong to the state, so what you said was quite funny.

Well, luckily I also sat in the department sorting out information outside of my position as an associate member. 」

I swear while muttering, why would such a person do this role.

But honestly, um, could it be that they're short on staff?

I alone rivaled the entire army, so they took the threat of the demon lord very seriously. Instead of fighting each other, join in instead.

It's logical.

Gathering information may be the strategy of a small country living in the shadow of a large country.

“As an extra.

The fact that Rimuru-dono evolved into a demon lord had caused a commotion among the higher-ups. If they hear about the revival of “Dragon Storm” ……

Even though they didn't ask, this was predictable. 」

This is what Enalude explained to Fuze.

In short, showing her hands would not make her hurt in the slightest.

Instead, he told us everything, perhaps judging that doing this would help gain our trust.

Is this good or bad. Right or wrong.

Such things are not important here, it seems that all of Fuze's intuition is directed aggressively to be familiar with Me.

While this can backfire and destroy their country, they conclude that this is the only card in their hand they can deal with to survive.

They were a bit too scared of me, but in hindsight, I was the opponent who had eliminated an army of 15,000 elites. There was nothing a small country could do against it, no matter what strategy they used.

This is of course outrageous, but in a sense, this is the only valid option they have.

At least it's effective for me.

Therefore, further explanation continued.

「At the same time, we also interact with the church.

We have judged that for the sake of our own defense, it is impossible for us to officially recognize the monster country “Tempest”.

Doing this would be unacceptable according to the teachings of the church.

However, it was clear that the small country could not hope to have enough combat power to subdue the demon lord.

The Church has no right to criticize us, instead they must be obliged to help us.

Even if we officially recognize the monster country “Tempest”, diplomatic relations are not solid.

This point will be emphasized during the conference to hold the church.

In any case, should the church try to lead the crusade ……

Even if we are called cowards, we will just wait and see.

We will stand with the winning side.

Oh, and this is what the higher-ups think, please don't think badly of this. 」

I'm seeing.

Then there's no problem.

On the surface he stood neutral, but he was actually secretly supporting Youmu.

The struggle of small nations.

「However, as a Dwarf kingdom, we have decided on a bold policy.

Our country, has decided to officially establish diplomatic relations with “Tempest. 」

With these words, the area was filled with commotion

If a warrior dwarf supe officially recognized this nation, it would have a profound impact on the world.

“Are you serious......?!”

Fuze also looked speechless.

Dwarves are considered to remain neutral.

That's what I was thinking, too.

「Hm. This is a decision that has benefits too.

The Kingdom of Farmas is the only country that sells our goods legally.

Good customers where we earn most of our tax revenue, but I don't know which country they sell their stuff to.

At this point, a highway has been built between our country and Tempest.

By walking the trip will take 1-2 months, with the train only takes 2 weeks.

The new trade route has been completed.

There is no reason not to use it.

Moreover, if you think about this from a military point of view, their military might is in no way inferior to the eastern empire.

Furthermore, the damage from the monster attack was gone.

And most importantly……

This is my judgment as king.

I have faith in the demon lord Rimuru, that's all. 」

O-oh.

At that moment Fuze looked like he had been hit by a direct hit.

With the entire area shrouded in silence, the only sound was turning the pages as Veldora read the comics.

TN Note: Veldora, the dreaded storm dragon in the Great Jurassic Forest, read the comics during the conference?

Hah, wait! Old man, what are you doing !!!

Well whatever, besides, he can't hear us.

If you leave us peacefully, we will not complain.

「That, that's actually …

That was really a bold strategy, wasn't it, the dwarf king. 」

Fuze looked at him carefully, though,

「Hmph-deep. The actions I take have nothing to do with you. 」

He said, as if trying to cut it.

But if this is the case, what happens?

Our country and the Dwarven country officially have diplomatic relations now.

As the center of commerce, Tempest will shine because of it.

The inhabitants of this monster town might be a problem, but getting acquainted through the conversation was possible.

On the contrary, no doubt they can get along. This has been proven.

The main problem is ……

「Fufufu. The problem is western religion, right?

I can also report important topics back to His Majesty.

He said that diplomatic relations with the new country were possible.

Although the distance between us was not too far away, there was a disturbing forest.

Of course, regarding the construction of the highway and the cutting of trees, I leave it to you, right? 」

Duke Enalude had said such things after careful calculations.

If the highway is developed…

It will be possible to have diplomatic relations with the Sorcerer’s Dynasty Sarion.

Moreover, this path would also be connected to the Dwarf Kingdom.

For passing products, there are also direct import benefits.

However, the most important fact was, various technologies such as magic engineering and spirit engineering would flow into the storm.

If this can become a reality, highway maintenance is just a cheap price to pay.

So, the calculations seem to be directly popping up in Fuze's brain.

“I have an idea!

I will go back first to show them the situation, and issue a policy to benefit from this! 」

And that was what he said, but the king and the duke looked at them unconcernedly.

On the other hand,

「Hmpt. After all, this is just nonsense from insects. 」

“One stop. Diplomacy and decisions take precedence over others. 」

Both have scolded him.

「Well, you two are big countries, it must be nice to have authority....」.

Fuze lamented that he was a man with a miserable position.

「I understand, I understand!

I will also convince the higher-ups. Dude, why am I playing this role ... 」.

That's what he screamed while crying.

In other words, they recognize the state of Tempest, and also establish diplomatic relations with us simultaneously.

However, he was not the one who spearheaded this. It was the dwarf king who declared this the first.

So, the rest of the meeting is used for a little clarification of the details of the agreement.

The situation seems to be moving faster than I expected before.

When the meeting is nearing its end, and every representative will leave for their home country, he said,

YAAAAAAAAAAAAM !!!

The door opened and someone barged in.

After that, then,

“Listening! This country (Tempest), will be destroyed! 」

Such a thing was said by a little girl - One of the great demon kings, “Labyrinth, Ramiris-chan.
