During Clayman's reception, several other demon kings besides Milim took turns asking for news about other demon kings. As a result, Veldora answered the questions while eating free snacks, which made Rimuru very worried. In the beginning, he asked
Veldora serves as the "final line of defense" for one's own defense. Is the intelligence safe?
Clayman, Caerion and Frey all seemed to care about the Demon King Valentin. What Rimuru knew about the Demon King was that he was active in human countries, and sometimes fought against the Western Holy Church and wrote propaganda for the Demon Kingdom.
The book "A Wandering Guide to the Land of Monsters" contains the fact that Flameia is a member of the Demon King Valentine's family.
Veldora talked about how he demolished Demon King Valentine's predecessor's house in the past and was very proud of it, which made Rimuru sweat. From the current interpersonal and diplomatic point of view, there will definitely be contact in the future, and there has been a feud for a long time.
relationship, no problem?
Moreover, Veldora and Ramiris seemed to recommend Rimuru together because they had seen Rimuru’s naming method. If there were any meetings that needed naming in the future, those demon kings would also leave the matter to them.
Lim is exposed. So annoying.
But thanks to the two more nervous guys, the party was mostly kept in a relaxed atmosphere.
On the fifth night of the Demon King's Banquet, Rimuru, who didn't need to sleep, actually had a dream.
The children who were supposed to have been saved seemed to be crying.
Because they were abandoned.
Why were they abandoned? Because the news of the death of their former teacher Jing was known?
No, even if you don’t cry, if this continues, you will still...
What will happen? It is not stated clearly.
However, the figure that was like a hazy mirror image of herself held his face and whispered: "You promised me...then...help...I will continue...save those children..."
What's going on? Are those children still in need of help? Is there really anything that the person who is more powerful than him can save?
But the other party just disappeared into the darkness.
Then, Rimuru woke up because of the alarm from [Raphael, the King of Wisdom].
"Warning. An unknown high-level demon general estimated to be over a thousand years old has been spotted approaching here."
Wuming, that is, he is not his subordinate, but a high-level demon general who has lived for thousands of years. This country can easily...
"Warning. More than a thousand years includes thousands, ten thousand years, and more than thirty thousand years. It is speculated that the country's combat power cannot cope with it."
"Hey, is there a demon attacking at this time?"
"No hostility was found. However, it is speculated that the devil contract executed is related to the individual 'Rimuru Hekatia Tempest'."
"Then wait for him to come... No, I will go in person. It is not good to cause trouble to other people and the country because of my affairs."
Rimuru left a clone behind, and the main body directly activated teleportation magic and teleported away.
Following the guidance of [Raphael, the King of Wisdom], he came to a mountain road that was far enough away for a confrontation without alerting the country's defense forces.
Guti
After a while, a black mass seemed to appear in the space, which quickly deformed and turned into a pair of huge devil wings that were closed. The wings spread out, shrunk and disappeared. The owner of the devil wings who emerged from it was dressed in black noble clothing, with a hint of...
A demonic man with red hair, black hair, and strangely colored eyes. He is handsome and young by human standards. But Rimuru, who has already determined that his strength is high, cannot be careless, and he may not be able to defeat him.
There were a few others, namely Mr. Tis whom he knew and the five children from Class S, as well as a big teddy bear and another exquisite doll. They were all in an unconscious state.
"I have met Rimuru-sama. In this way, my contract is completed." The devil put his hand on his chest and bowed to Rimuru very sincerely.
"Really, you are the demon summoned by Teacher Tis. After all the hard work, you can leave. Teacher Tis will tell me what happened." Rimuru planned to see the guest off.
It's better not to mess with this guy who doesn't look simple. The event will definitely put a huge burden on Tis. Maybe people use foreign goods to pay the price, but it's not good for people to continue to spend money, so I'll see him off.
"Uh... ah?" But the demon suddenly seemed to have suffered 9999 points of damage, looking heartbroken.
Upon seeing this, Tis hurriedly said: "This demon saved me and the children, and he was always careful not to burden or consume me during his actions."
"That's it." Rimuru felt that if this was true, then it would really be disrespectful to drive people away like this, so he said, "Then let's talk about it together. What happened? Before that, let's talk about it first
Transfer the devil's contract to me."
He plans to take control while eliminating the hidden dangers in Tis.
"I am honored to sign a contract with you." The devil saluted again.
Rimuru was baffled, as if this demon had an inexplicable affection for him, but forget it, it was better than a guy who was always vicious when he met him.
The first is the issue of the children’s status——
The devil felt that more troubles were better than less troubles, and Tis didn't want the children to worry about these adult troubles, so he used sleep magic. There were no side effects.
And then there’s the reason why these kids are here—
Tis first discovered that there was a big explosion in the royal capital. Soon after, the children came to her and said that they, "Princess Teacher", Youmu and three very friendly adventurers were suddenly attacked by a mysterious magician while playing at the Eve Festival.
(They sensiblely took into account the teacher's mood so they didn't say anything about Jing), blowing up everyone and buildings around them, and then "Princess Teacher", Youmu and three adventurers fought with the mysterious magician. They were killed by "Princess Teacher"
"Teacher" teleported back to the academy.
Just when Tis was thinking about how to appease the children who were clamoring to go back to rescue others, they were attacked by a mercenary group that seemed to have been prepared for a long time. She and the children could not win or escape, so they paid any price in desperation.
This powerful demon was summoned.
The demon defeated all enemies and brought them back.
Rimuru only felt a non-existent pain in his stomach.
The three adventurers, according to the description, should be the trio of Elen, Kabal, and Kido. They, Yumu, and Crounpis were suddenly attacked.
Crownpis's strength should be fine, but after hearing Tis' statement about the scale of the explosion he witnessed from outside, he felt that the other people were in danger.
However, is there really no problem with Crounpis? Thinking of the dream just now, Rimuru felt even more "stomach-ache".
It was Crownpis who actively wanted to go to the human country, but it was Rimuru's idea to form a human magic troupe for publicity, and it was Rimuru's shamelessness to let Crownpis replace Rimuru as the "beautiful monster princess"
Begged. Now he got her involved in trouble that should have been his own, and also implicated other people.
