After we determined the name Octagram for ourselves, Mizeri and Raine,
the green and blue haired maid who was Guy Crimson's servant, prepared
a lovely meal for all of us. They were wearing colored maid clothes
dark red, and their kitchen skills, it turns out, are second to none.
As Ramiris told me, the original purpose of the Walpurgis Council was to
letting the demon lords get along and exchange information. As the rest of this,
perhaps, our space was in a separate display room,
arguably. Attendance was not mandatory, and all demon lords did their thing
own — some go as soon as the meeting ends, some survive
long enough for dinner, and others spend time with
chatting in the lounge.
Me, I'm going for food. You don't get a chance like this every time
day, and to be honest, given how much stronger Guy is compared to us
everyone, I want to see what her diet looks like. The food produced is more beautiful
and more fun than I ever imagined. Each dish is
an astonishing new discovery, the best of its kind in the entire world,
and as I linger in every dish in daydreams:
Report. Component analysis completed. Now it is possible to make
back recipe black tiger stew, roasted sage chicken, golden sherbet, and
grilled steak dragon earthsleep.
I stole all the recipes. Is that what I mean? It's a bit unfair, isn't it
because I really understand what it is to make it. Steal
make it sound illegal or something. It's just intelligence gathering.
These recipes call for meat from A-ranked monsters or higher,
which you don't see walking into town every day. But once I have the ingredients
that's right, I think I'll know how to set it up now.
The party was closed with an abundant selection of fresh fruit. Six of us are in
table, by the way — me, Guy, Milim, Ramiris, Deeno, and Daggrull. Valentines
and Leon's been gone a long time.
I took a moment to rebuke Milim for deceiving me when he
split itself. He's still playing dumb, but I have to give him a taste
realities. In the meantime, I'm asking Carillon and Frey to promise that we're all
we will discuss the future at a later time. After we cleaned ourselves up
war, I thought I'd be consulted about rebuilding work
the city is coming. It will be a completely new country, one with
Milim as the leader, and I intend to approach the discussion
so that they benefit me as much as possible.
Ramiris still bothers me about moving to my hometown. I reject it completely
straight away, of course, but he didn't give up. You can see it in his eyes.
I thought Treyni would be good enough to calm her down a little for me, but I
suspecting that Treyni likes to pamper Ramiris more than anything else. It looks like it
it's practical for what he lives, so I remind myself not to hope
a lot because I decided to keep an eye on them.
Daggrull and Veldora seem to be very familiar, and Guy and Deeno get involved in the
friendly conversation. I decided to offer them all brandy
World-famous tempest, distilled from our own wine. Part of the effort
my brand, can you say. Spreading the word about how useful it is
a country of ours will lubricate the gears for diplomacy later. That's right, is
You're dealing with a demon lord or your next-door neighbor.
'Not bad.”
“Yeah, alright, look at this ..”
“Hack! Cough, cough! Dude, it's quite a bite..”
It might be too much alcohol for Deeno to handle, but Guy and Daggrull
enjoyed it. So, will you not drink it all first, Veldora? I have
pretty good stuff in my stomach, but I don't keep it there
just so Veldora can spend it all. Then Milim immediately grabbed
brandy too, of course. I didn't let him have it. You know he's become
the drunk is angry. But considering how he deceived me, I had to
put my feet here.
“Then it's okay for me, mmmmmm?”
Meanwhile, Ramiris had already quite proudly held onto his glass, three gulps
and he was in the blink of an unconscious eye. I let Beretta and Treyni
the panicked man dealt with him. It's actually good for me. If he stays
ungodly and undisturbed tonight, though there's every chance he'll
trying to follow myself back to Tempest.
So everything went well before long at this party, and I decided to
go before Ramiris wakes up from his folly. That was the end of the board
Walpurgis — was not at all what I expected, but I was happy
my worries were finally in vain.
In short, twenty-four full hours of the event. Walpurgis starts in the middle
night; by the time we wrapped it, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
In an instant, I returned to Tempest. The journey there is one thing, but
with the Dominate Space, the return trip was very easy. But not as
previously, my country did not fall apart due to my absence —
high spirits, everything works well, and I'm very relieved. All forces
we continue to be on high alert, as I command. They're all smoother
now, it contributes to road safety more than ever. I
not ignoring anything. City security system, following the police model
I knew on Earth, it seemed a worthy success.
As I observed all this, a thought came to my mind. You know, you know,
the defense of this country alone can defeat one or two countries itself,
wasn't he? Almost every soldier left on defense duty was equivalent to
b, after all. Your garden-variety magical or paranormal beast is not
will dare to lurk near you.
Overall, the rules of law and order are really held here. But
it makes me worry about monsters that are out of town, potentially
causing chaos elsewhere. Maybe it's better, I thought, to
checked it. So I dragged Veldora and Shion back into town, with
riding Ranga.
The moment I entered the city, the locals and patrol soldiers immediately took
the bent position on the side of the road, forming a path for me to follow. It was all
it is such an expert choreography. I don't know when they're learning
doing so. What's up with that? I was thinking — just to find Diablo
approaching me from the end of the road. He gave me a sincere smile, a full smile
joy, as he exchanged glances with Rigurd.
“Welcome back, Sir Rimuru!”
“It's nice for us to hear your induction into the Octagram!
I'm so happy to see you back here safely!”
I appreciate it from Rigurd and Diablo, yeah, but... really, what's going on here?
But how do you know that I have been crowned a demon lord? That must be the first
there are people who use the term Octagram in this world as well. I should know —
I thought about it myself. The questions keep piling up.
Wasn't Diablo supposed to conquer the Farmus Kingdom by now? Why is he in
here get the whole town to do this little dance for me?
Starting to feel a little embarrassed about all this, I finally decided to
asking Lord Veldora to keep us up-to-date.”
I squinted at Veldora. He immediately shifted his eyes.
Comrade. Come, friend. I don't know what made him guilty yet, but he
guilty of something.
After I put a screw on her a little, Veldora quickly revealed
veracity. Turns out he agreed to play Tempest's informant with
reward three dessert dishes at the next meal — and he withholds
his offer, inform Diablo of everything going on at the Council.
Now it makes sense — why they know about me being a demon lord
and about the name of Octagram that we have adopted. Maybe I should act
as far as praising Diablo for his expertise in data collection. Even if
someone smart enough to consider paying off someone as strong as possible
Veldora, only a select few would dare to give it a try. Of course, Veldora
it deserves a lot of praise for actually agreeing to the nonsense
that, but still, I like this kind of proactive behavior. If all the parties
involved happy, I see no need to play it.
Still is…
“Veldora, do you even need to eat?”
“Omong empty what is it, Rimuru?! It's not a matter of needing to eat or not.
I eat because I want to. You also don't need to eat, right?” Gah!
He's correct. I don't have many legs to stand here. Cooking Skills
Shuna has improved by leaps and bounds lately, and we have a variety of
dessert offered today. We managed to recreate the cream
the puffs I found in the Englesian cafe were perfect, and we even
creating things like custard pudding now. A large number of drinks
available alcohols also contributed to the discovery of tempting snacks
appetites.
I asked Yoshida, the cafe owner, to help in this, develop a recipe
new and so on; he instantly agreed, happy to gain access to the drink
which we made. “Now,” he said happily, “I think I can make
many things I could not do before.” We have prepared
some trial plates for our dining table; Veldora has tried some
of them during the celebration right after I resurrected them, and the result
looks like they really surprised the guy.
Are you sure it should be so easy to approach food like that, Veldora? However
all it takes to make Milim give up on my hands is a little honey...
You know, maybe I could conquer the world with a full kitchen instead
all these military forces.
When I thought about this, Shion and Diablo exchanged words.
“You did act as Sir Rimuru's guardian, right?”
“Of course I do! So thanks for that, now we all know you
not needed as long as I exist. But what about the task given Sir
Rimuru you?
“Eh-heh-heh-heh... Everything's fine. I meant to tell Sir
Rimuru about it personally. ”
Their smiles did not even reach their eyes; the competition was still strong
as usual, I can see. If I leave them to their devices
on their own, they will do it all day.
“Friend, can you stop it?”
“Ya.” Rigurd nodded. “I'm sure Sir Rimuru is tired. I believe in Haruna
prepare food for you all. We can talk after you
invigorated. ”
Thank you, Rigurd. I love this new atmosphere of authority you share.
So I asked him to take me to town.
Everyone we passed was all smiling, ready to go into party mode
it is full quickly, but Benimaru and his team are still not back from the mission
them. A full celebration can wait until later. For now, I got
leaning on the knowledge that one thorny problem, at least, has been
unsolvable.
So, I decided to drown in a hot spring bath, enjoy
the food Haruna prepared for me, gave me mental energy, and
then listen to Diablo's report. The battle with Clayman is over
with total victory for me, and it only left the establishment of the kingdom
new Johm and our future disputes with the Western Holy Church are to be faced.
There will be new negotiations to consider soon — with Beast Kingdom of
Eurazania, with the Winged Nation of Fulbrosia, with the Faithful Dragon
worship Milim — but they all seem bound to end
friendship, so no need to worry too much. About them now.
“So,” I asked Diablo when I enjoyed tea after dinner, “apa
what have you done? I'm asking you to destroy the Farmus Kingdom
and put Johm as his new king. If you leave that job
and coming back here, should I assume that means you need more
many resources?
I was back in slime form for the first time in a while,
relax on Shion's lap while I enjoy the roundness ************* above
my head. I think it makes my question sound calmer than it is
i mean. If Diablo needs help, I think someone like Soei
can provide. We have some more leeway for change;
No need to make Diablo take care of himself.
Shion laughed above me, talking about something like, “Oh, I can say
being your tea maker is the ideal job for Diablo, my lord. Allow
myself to conquer that kingdom instead!” Then that is it, but I
disregarded it. I couldn't see himself according to the task. Maybe it was
the way he lent Diablo a favor, but I didn't listen to — and
apparently, it's not necessary.
“No, Mr. Rimuru,” he said while filling my cup, “ no resources
the necessary. Everything went well and according to plan. ”
Drinking tea in the form of slime was a bit difficult, so I decided to lie down
and enjoy the smell as I prepare to receive his report. Ahhhhhh,
Malcom. The happiness that suddenly ends with the next thing that he
tell the.
“First, I returned everything to its original condition. Bring them inside
the shape of the piece of inert meat turned out to be rather, ah, uncomfortable.”
What pieces?! What's he talking about? Shion shivered a little, understanding
my confusion. Wait, is that his interrogation method...? Hoo boy's. Better
turn off my imagination before things get too dangerous. I have been
visiting the interrogation room at once, warning him not to 'go
it's too far' with the three prisoners we're holding there, but. Honestly I am
it doesn't matter if Shion killed them, back then, so I didn't push too much
this problem. It's a little late to regret now, I guess.
A lot of things look uncertain here, but I still have a brave face,
hiding the mess when I pushed Diablo to continue.
The first thing Diablo did, as he obediently explained to
Rimuru, is restoring the archbishop of Reyhiem and the palace witch Razen to
healthfulness
