Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
The Whole Story of the Assembly

Yesterday's cake was delicious.

Therefore, I will visit again to heal My weary mind after a tiring conference.

As expected of the royal capital of the Kingdom of Ingrasia where the Freedom Association Headquarters was located.

Yuuki actually did a good job.

He searched “Tourists Dunia” and protected them. Not only highly skilled people but also people who have knowledge and also people who are familiar with technology. Since I'm so obsessed with food, I can learn something from this.

To be honest, there was no satisfaction eating at the border village level. Modern Japan is too fancy.

Only one potato is boiled every day and the soup is bland made with bitter grass. Eating like that is the norm.

Since salt is a high-end item, foods that have a taste are very valuable.

Even bread, because it is eaten when it is hard, is nothing more than a difficulty. Trying and increasing food is a very natural course of action, but whether it is possible or not is a different matter.

Just like Me, the image formed with knowledge of the previous world might not be well conveyed to the other party. It is certain that there will be many trials and errors between “World” Explorer with common sense and other parties.

I can estimate that much.

Thanks to their efforts, I can eat cake, even in this world.

Although the reason I came to the royal capital of the Ingrasia Kingdom was to participate in the Council conference, I believe this matter could be more important than that.

The goal today is to negotiate with the store owner to see if he will share his recipe.

Shuna said she could make identical cakes, but it would take several months of research to make them at the same level.

I greeted Kirsch-san, [1] the shopkeeper. I wanted to ask him to teach Shuna how to make it.

The recipe might be secret, but even though it was useless, I kept asking him.

「Aah? You want to learn how to make my cake?

Do you think valuable recipes can be taught easily to others ?!

I'm glad you like the cake, but it was made with the efforts of many people.

So it cannot be taught to others easily.」

All right, that was a reasonable reaction.

There are similar shops in many places in this city, but after I eat and compare them to each other, only this store has a real offer.

Of course other stores just imitate this store. The owner of this store can also be another “Tourist Dunia”.

「Can you do something about it?」

Shuna asked politely while bowing her head.

It was a delicate gesture that united both of her hands and bent her waist beautifully, luring everyone who saw her.

「. Me, I will not fall for such a seductive technique!

But, I'll think about it, if you can make a dish that can satisfy Me, everything is fine. 」

Oops.

It seems that Shuna was able to make a compromise. I'm ready to research it in a worst case scenario, but Shuna's dish is first class.

This might go well.

「Shuna-san's chat. Cook it and end it!

Make that arrogant shopkeeper moan with the highest dish! 」

“Iya. I understand!”

Shuna motivated.

The cake has ignited the fire in Shuna's soul.

Shuna borrowed the kitchen and prepared the highest dish.

It was Tamagoyaki [2].

The best dish, which is said to make one understand the skill of the cook, is Tamagoyaki.

Kirsch-san looked at the plate he was given and swallowed, he swallowed his saliva. Without saying anything, with a fork, he stuffed Tamagoyaki into his mouth.

“Lezat!!”

That was one blow.

With the power of Shuna's incredible dishes, Kirsch-san acknowledged Shuna.

“Thank you so much”

A charming smile was seen on Shuna's face.

Everything is over. As a smile pierced through his heart, Kirsch-san seemed to have completely fallen.

「Tch. That can't help! It's a special occasion, okay? 」

The muscular Ossan responded to Shuna with a timid smile.

To be honest, I can only say he acted dere-dere [3]. Oh well, how else, Shuna's pale pink hair was perfect for her, and she was a beautiful girl.

Kirsch began teaching Shuna how to make cakes in the kitchen.

Benimaru and I ordered a drink similar to coffee from the attendant, and thought about the conference earlier while waiting for Shuna.

………

……

…

When I arrived at the meeting hall where the conference was held, several members of the Council came to greet Me.

I heard many stories from the people who came to visit the Tournament, it seems like they want to tie up diplomatic relations with Me.

I considered the future's appeal and interacted socially with them.

「Ahahaha. Rimuru-dono, even though you are called the Demon King, aren't you very friendly! 」

「Yeah, you're right. From now on contact me as you wish.

By the way, I heard you produced a lot of interesting stuff?

Will you allow our country to handle those things? 」

「Oh, about that. We feel the same. We also look forward to your cooperation.

Of course, the appropriate remuneration is ―― says more than this will be bland, right 」

Ah yeah.

What should I call it .. This feeling of being speechless?

It's not even rude anymore!

I believe the other party might be a noble, it's possible that I failed to act simply. It seems they have misunderstood my response.

Oh well, that's troublesome. Even if I don't specifically distribute the goods to these people, it can still be distributed by the ―― guild as an organization under the Arbitration committee.

「Ah, that's. Please take care of me then 」

Let's start with the strategy of juggling a conversation without any meaning.

This is a conversation between adults. That is talk about “If you want to buy something, buy it yourself!”

I rejected the disrespectful Councilman with a smile and left the place after I finished giving a light greeting.

Amidst the long conversation, the other members of the committee also approached.

Although my mood has been broken since morning, I persevered because I might be able to ask for something here, and enter the meeting place.

And then the conference started. ever since then it was a real hell.

At the last meeting, the agenda that Hinata proposed was to invoke our cooperation. I heard it from him.

The defense will be entrusted to our country, and a sum of money will be paid. Given that the other party will definitely use us, we will also use the other party.

All right, we're equal in this. Anyway we are on the Imperial invasion route. If war were to occur, it was only natural that the backside cooperated.

Also, if they pay the defense fee, of course I'll accept it. I have no reason to refuse.

And then there's the real problem.

The purpose of participating in this conference was to make them give up their excess power.

In other words, I will show off the monster power and the powerful military power I possess.

Each country will pay us their defense budget, and we will be used for good. However, in fact, every country has great military power, their size allows every country to ignore the Tempest.

Tempest is recognized as a state. Since we aim to coexist and achieve common prosperity with human society, we should hesitate to hold the role of Confederate defense power.

In addition, by providing support it will be possible to demonstrate our military strength in front of many countries. It was a strategy that killed two birds with one stone.

Hinata says that she also aims for this.

The soldiers under the direct control of the committee only included a few Holy Knights. Therefore, by building a headquarters for us, they can entrust emergency response to us.

I approve of the plan, even if I am used by others, I also intend to profit from them.

How to be like this?

The table I kicked floated in the air and when it fell I was crushed into a very small piece with My heel.

I crossed my legs, sat on the chair arrogantly, and glared at the Council member who had turned pale. They looked at me in surprise and I sighed in my mind.

No, I've held him back at first.

Even as an adult, I was considered someone with a heart wider than the ocean. I can even brag that this is as famous as my recent activity stories.

As someone called the embodiment of patience, facing Milim's selfishness is my specialty. Since I have a broad and airy heart, I can even laugh and forgive Milim's selfishness.

But…

What about the ossans committee [4] and their selfishness shrouded in greed that has no appeal whatsoever?

The answer was a huge table that was smashed before their eyes.

「Ah, you. Are you making fun of me?

Say whatever you like, Am I Your servant?

Uh uh? Don't think I don't know even though I keep quiet! 」

In the silent conference room, my voice echoed quietly.

I didn't scream but my voice seemed to scare the Council members' minds.

I also don't use 『Demon Lord’s Haki』.

Because, if I use it on humans, the best case is that they panic, and worst of all they go crazy and die in madness.

The series of brainwashing can be used, but all possible friendships with humans will vanish if I use them. I don't have the hobby of spending time with an unattractive doll that can only answer YES for the rest of her life.

In other words, I was just angry and broke the table this time, it was just a usual bullying tactic.

But the effect is still good.

「No, no, Rimuru-dono We did not say it with such intention.」.

First of all, it is.

To greet someone of a higher standing and the King of a country with “Dono”.

Even if we hold the status of a country, they only treat me like a king of a vassal state, not as an equal state.

I'm sure these people underestimated the monsters.

And the discussion was a while ago…

Geez, share the blueprints for the magic train, grant the right to the joint management of the labyrinth, hand over the taxes of the people who live in the satellite city and not the citizens of Tempest …

It just states their selfish demands.

I am the Demon King, for the sake of the cripple! Therefore, I hope to be treated with respect, yet they only act in a very unreasonable manner.

Even if they were nobles representing their country, my generosity had reached its limit.

No, I would say that Yuuki is a pretty clever fox if he can lead a tanuki [5] like that in the nose. That's not possible for me.

“Notice. Therefore, I told you I would represent him》

Raphael seemed to be saying something but it was probably just my imagination.

Raphael-san who is just a skill should not be able to infiltrate freely that far.

I was too angry and seemed to hear auditory hallucinations. But, it's good because it allows me to calm down a little.

「Eh? What kind of intention do you want to convey?

Are you telling me to work like a chariot horse as a slave to your people? 」

「T, no! That was unthinkable! We have no such intention.. 」.

I shifted my focus to the Council members who had spoken in panic, and suddenly I had a strange feeling.

The person's eyes were facing the inside of the conference room door.

When I listened carefully, I heard a few footsteps. Apparently, he seemed to have called the guard over.

When I realized it, the door opened and several soldiers and a large man entered.

「Oh oh, very energetic. Are you an idiot calling yourself the Demon King?

But, you only brought three officers, didn't you brag too much?

You idiot!

If I defeat You and put You under My thumb, You monsters will be in My hands! 」

The big man immediately barked loudly as he entered.

Eh? Whahuh?

You will defeat Me and turn Me into your henchman?

What is this guy talking about? Am I being stupid? I don't really understand what this guy is saying.

“Lavatan. This big man (Stupid), said that he would win against the master and turn you into a henchman》

I can understand that!

If it were explained one on one with a serious look, I would be so stupid.

「Oi ..... Is this the assembly consensus?」

In answer to the question posed by tir sayadiri himself,

“Are you an idiot? Sure was! Or are you scared?

If you lower yourself and lick My shoes now, I'm not going to make you feel any pain. 」

The big man replied with a vulgar laugh.

But among the members of the Council there are some who are frightened and confused,

「I didn't hear about this. What is this about?”

「Who instigated this?」

「The soldier was wearing an armor bearing the emblem of the Ingrasia royal family.

That is, this is the Ingrasia impulse? 」

I can hear such responses from people who clearly have nothing to do, people who are confused, and people who have made decisions calmly.

That is, this matter was not an assembly decision, it was just a reckless show of force? Oh well, it looks like Hinata doesn't know about this, and it's definitely not a unanimous decision either.

I make such judgments.

「Oi, do not log in without permission.

The meeting hall of the Council is in the middle of the conference now.

You guys, this is not the behavior of being a soldier 」

Hinata calmly asked the big man and his group to leave.

「Hahaha, Hinata-dono. Its alright.

I am the one who called them [6]. That was to teach the villain a lesson 」

「Gavan-dono [7], have you lost your mind?

Although I've never heard of this before …….

Or rather, did you not hand over the authority of the Council's decision to Me? 」

Hinata's voice lowered and became cold.

Ah, he seems very angry. I think it must be because of that stupid judgment.

「Silence, woman. Uh?

I don't know if you are the former leader of the Holy Knights or what, but I am the leader of the Order of the Ingrasia Knight Guards, Reiner-sama [8] is not your enemy.

Didn't you drench yourself with a runaway pee after being defeated by that little Demon King? Right, oh Holy Knight Leader-sama.

After all, the position is also just a decoration that you obtained after seducing a cardinal-minded ****. [9]

Even if a child were to fight you, it would be a bad and boring fight. The lack of resolution to kill the Demon King, that's ridiculous!

But yeah, your looks aren't that bad. If you want to be my woman, it's okay for Me to love you as my beloved concubine 」

Ah, this person is dead meat.

Hinata's expression did not change. Her face was as cold and beautiful as ever.

「Wah, Reiner-kyou [10]. Isn't that a little vulgar?

Still, I am interested in the Demon King as well. Monopolizing it won't be good.

Exactly right.

I forgot to mention it, but this Sir Reiner is an A rank Adventurer who can also defeat Heroes.

He is stronger than all of you, no matter how many of you.

Don't be arrogant when you have little power. 」

Suddenly, just as it was announced in a loud voice, a hard-to-explain coldness flowed down My back.

That's repulsive. This Osan could even provoke a difficult me to provoke. A terrible talent.

「――Oi, all of you .. What is it, the decision of the Kingdom of Ingrasia?」

Hinata asked in a calm voice that did not make you feel her anger.

「Fufu, that's right. Since the Council, it has issued its decision.

Well, even though the voting will start now. 」

A young blond man stood up and said that.

The meeting hall was filled with commotion and excitement.

「Elric-ouji [11] ――. Is this on your encouragement? 」

「True, Hinata. You must sit 」

Prince…..?

This fool, no, this prince, is the mastermind behind this?

He seemed to be the prince of the Ingrasia Kingdom, but this fellow seemed to have somehow incited some members of the Council.

「Then, let's choose.

I will defeat the Demon King in this place and make him our henchman.

Whoever agrees, stand up! 」

The prince's voice echoed loudly, and the majority of the Council members stood up, with disgusting smiles.

It seemed like they had been communicating secretly and discussing.

The financial situation of each country, the response of the royal family, as well as the trial records in the respective assemblies of the country and so on, I have Souei investigate everything thoroughly.

However, I did not expect that the members of the Council would be bribed individually. I failed not to expect such a possibility.

“Notice. No, there's no problem. That's as expected.》

Eh? As expected?

I felt like seeing the illusion of Raphael growing a dark smile.

「Rimuru-sama, this」

Souei gave me some account books.

Ah .....it's a secret account. Is it really within expectations?

Before anyone knew it, I had secured an account book listing bribes and so on from the colluding Council members.

This is performance without errors.

The number of books of accounts corresponds to the number of members of the Council who stood at the behest of Prince Elric.

It's just a joke because I've got unwavering evidence.

The remaining Board members who were not standing, confusedly asked the others,

「I didn't hear this!」

「Although His Eminence Rimuru came here alone, this treatment will be a problem!」

「Something like this should not be allowed. For what reason is there a Council if there is no justice! 」

They are angry and offended.

Now, the sitting members of the Council seem to be inflexible or have a fair disposition.

I know that because they seem to call me with courtesy.

It is uncertain whether the country represented by the Council members is honest or not, but I think I'm more likely to trust them than the countries that send evil Council members with unacceptable behavior.

Oya, since the Council member is the representative of a country, the person represents his country.

「The vote is out. Since it exceeded the majority, the hall had approved this agenda! 」

Excited by their success, Prince Elric declared that out loud.

The Board members who followed applauded.

The remaining Board members sat down bowing their heads, while Hinata watched the joke with cold eyes.

Since carrying a weapon was not allowed, he was unarmed, yet if he held a sword now, he would grip the hilt firmly.

「Well now permission has been granted, choose whether you want to lick my shoes or feel pain」

A fool named Reiner stood in front of me and said that.

Hinata. He seems to be calculating how to move depending on my response.

All right then.

「First, I want to confirm something. Is that okay?”

「Aah? Whafs what?

「No, your decision. May I consider this a state decision? 」

「Hha! Are you an idiot? Things like that now, what else―― 」

Shuna stood up, took out a folding fan and brandished it.

With just that, the talking Reiner was sent flying. He curled up after he hit a wall, dropping chairs and tables in the process.

「I have survived, listening to all this since a while ago….

Yo, you bastard, for Rimuru-sama who we respect and love, ho-how disrespectful ...

Shuna approached Reiner calmly.

It seems like I'm not the only one angry.

Or rather, when someone else exploded, I quickly calmed down.

When I looked around, my eyes caught Hinata's eyes, did she also calm down? I felt that we could communicate with our eyes.

“Junk. I'm not gonna kill you that fast. If I'm not mistaken, you're saying that you're A rank.

I'll allow you to be serious.

Now, stand up and come to me 」

He directed the folding fan at Reiner, and Shuna sent him a deadly stare.

「Re-Reiner! What are you unemployed for !? Hurry up and shut up that brash woman.

You must also defeat that Demon King. No time to play around! 」

Prince Elric who was unable to understand the situation, ordered Reiner to attack.

But, Reiner did not move in the slightest.

「Did you not come? Then I'll―― 」

When Shuna was about to take one step,

「Hai, hi & _____」!

Reiner curled up while holding his head with both hands.

From his crotch, fluid billows out.

Well, did he just wet the bed? I was so shocked that I couldn't find the words to say.

「Shuna, retreat」

Shuna nodded at my order and she returned to her position behind me.

Reiner began to cry like a child, shedding tears while curling up.

The match is over. His opponent is too absurd.

「Alright, Elric right?

You are fighting with Me, but what will you do from now on?

You too, your country seems to agree to this matter as well.

The same offense, is it okay? 」

Everyone's faces turned pale and their heads lowered as I asked that with a smile.

The match has been decided. The reason these fools lost was because they thought that a small child could defeat the Demon King.

No, the Kingdom of Ingrasia does not border the Great Jura Forest. Therefore they were unaware of the monster threat.

The Council members who agreed to the treaty this time came from small states belonging to the Ingrasia clique. The country intent and the Council members intent were different, but their contempt for monsters might be the same.

After all, nobles are beings who only think of themselves. Alright, though it seems like there are people changing with the country between them. It would be better for me to think twice before associating with such a country.

Since I just looked at the documents and handled them non-seriously, it might be best that I review them later.

After all, the important agenda was approved and accepted by the Council members after I threatened them.

Military cooperation with Tempest.

Internal Line Permit for Tempest soldiers.

Official participation in the Confederation Council for Tempest.

Relocation of Confederate Council headquarters to Tempest.

Relocation of the headquarters of the Freedom Arbitration Committee to Tempest.

Forcibly making them sign it, everything passed unhindered.

With unanimous consent.

Outsmarting them, and using tricks is not something that suits me.

As a result, I only controlled them using physical strength, and all the problems were resolved. The one who threw the punch was not me, so I was satisfied because it seemed to prove my open-mindedness.

So, the service ended without any problems, and we left the meeting hall.

………

……

…

All right, here's the whole story.

Prince Elric, Ossan named Gavan who was the minister of Ingrasia, and a council member as well.

They were astonished, they looked frightened by the seriousness of the matter, but they reaped what they sowed.

Naturally, I gave Souei an order when the conference had ended. I've ordered him to send the account books to each of their countries. With this, rude and foolish people will be eliminated.

Even if they were forgiven, they would be fired, it could be said that it was a dead end for them.

And also, the Kingdom of Ingrasia.

Due to the facilitated transportation, the country was once the peace center of many countries.

Although the technology is amazing, it does not mean that the productivity is high.

The culture level is high, but it is nothing more than reproduction by Yuuki so “Lainworld” can live comfortably.

As important institutions such as the council and committees will be relocated, its role as a center in many countries is over.

If they did nothing, like before, they would definitely start resisting.

Even so, it was a natural consequence, so I didn't have to feel bad.

「Oh well, Tempest being the center, even I approved it」

Those are Hinata's words.

If he said that, it was clear what would happen to the Ingrasia Kingdom. Hinata said nothing.

In this matter, Hinata's decision was final. He quickly returned and began preparing for the relocation. Well, Hinata might be angrier than me.

I thought about it while drinking some pseudo-coffee.

「Or more precisely, I can get a good experience this time」

「N?」

「No, I'm too angry too, I may not understand what's going on because I'm so rampaging.

If Shuna moves a little slower, all the humans in the room will burn to nothingness 」

Boo [12]! So I sprayed the coffee I drank.

I admired Benimaru ever since he became an adult. I thought he had been silent, but he had almost lost control of himself in anger.

I felt that I had lost that admiration. Or rather, it is dangerous. I will be the enemy of mankind if mass slaughter takes place in that place.

「Oioi, you really have to prevent that!?」

「Hahaha, it was just a joke. I'm not serious! 」

Although Benimaru has tried to deceive Me with a refreshing smile, I will not be fooled.

This guy is very serious.

For the next conference, I think it is necessary to carefully consider the personnel I bring.

Later,

「Rimuru-sama, I did it!

Kirsch-tenchou [13] decided to come to Tempest! 」

Shuna came back, and reported to me with a full smile.

「Since I heard that he will close the store and retire――,

He seemed willing to come when I invited him! 」

「Serious?」

“I'm serious!”

Greatable.

With this, as long as I prepare the sugar, eating the cake every day is no longer a dream.

No, as long as there are still ingredients, can't I make any kind of cake ?!

「Excellent, as expected of Shuna!」

As I praised her, Shuna nodded with a smile.

This time Shuna played a very active role.

This contrasts sharply with a disappointing secretary. If it was that disappointing secretary, even when he was relaxed he would probably kill Reiner.

And then after using skillful trickery, it was most likely that it would be something terrible. Oh yeah, it's not limited to Shion, but including me too.

This time, thanks to Shuna, the negotiations could be completed easily.

But, his greatest achievement was that he was able to convince the stubborn Oyaji [14].

I've asked him earnestly before, but he hasn't budged at all.

He did a good job.

Thus the conference ended safely as well, and we returned home to Tempest.

Things have happened, but the biggest result, needless to say, is that cakes will now be included as desserts every day.

Guro's Comment

Those idiots think that they can make our holy slime their henchmen (Actually, it's Ya-man). And I learned that Cake is more important than diplomatic relations etc
