After the banquet, Clawnpisi recovered the main body, responded to Rimuru's request, and summoned various parties to have a meeting as usual.
There were not many attendees looking for Crounpis, including Rimuru, Cronoa, Ultima, Diavolo, and Shion, who still looked more like a secretary only when she stood quietly and acted as Rimuru's cushion.
As soon as Crounpis sat down on the sofa, she wanted to cross her legs, but she couldn't do it, because Verustila directly used Crounpis's [Lord of Lanyan] in reverse operation, and suddenly found that
He then sat down on her lap, his shoulders resting on his bare breasts, and his legs hanging down.
Clunpisi was helpless, thinking that it would be okay to deal with her as Alice, and just hug her like a pillow.
Milim and Veldora, who turned out to be relatives, were also there, but the former would probably not take the initiative to listen to anything. At most, he would play the role of the ancient demon king and give a brief explanation when he had intellectual questions; the latter was reading comics as usual.
.
Crownpis first explained his situation.
She admitted that she knew that spreading the word about the Demon Kingdom to humans would inevitably result in a crusade. Anyway, it was Rimuru who suggested setting up a theater troupe and asking Crounpis to become the "Monster Princess" instead. He should take the blame.
At the same time, she did not hide it - she did not refuse to fight and hoped to become stronger. Since the higher the rank, the harder it is to improve, she wanted to use the highest version of [Holy Purification Barrier] to suppress most of the monster's power when it was difficult to use it.
Trying to upgrade by splitting itself into multiple low-end entities turned out to be not ineffective.
Her "death" was also caused by this and "underestimating" the enemy's trump card that she "failed" to discover when fighting Hinata.
However, she insisted that she died after accidentally taking it off while playing, but the astral body has been lurking waiting for the opportunity to be resurrected. Even if everyone leaves it alone, it will be resurrected in a year at the latest to collect the fragments.
Diavolo proudly said that he had seen through it long ago.
Seeing this, Cronpis breathed a sigh of relief. The weird smile she had when she saw the nameless "big pineapple" for the first time was indeed right. She could gain Rimuru's trust by taking the initiative to speak frankly.
As for how far the so-called human trump card reaches——
"Actually, humans have a trump card that is enough to kill Rimuru instantly, even if Milim goes there, it will be difficult." Crounpis glanced at Chronoa who was present, and said in a pretentious manner.
Chronoa noticed Crownpis' gaze and said, "It is indeed true. Although there are only incomplete fragments, Hinata was easily killed by Master Sun Yao... and the ancient warrior Gulambel."
Rimuru: "Then, the last time Milim went to the 'Kick Club', Hinata was assassinated by people from the East Empire. Is this the reason why she didn't use her trump card?"
Chronoa nodded and said: "Yes, within the Western Holy Church, there are factional struggles in all the Western countries. In addition to being a brave man and Sun Yao Master of the Western Holy Church, Gulamber also has the Rozo family who are in charge of the overall economy of the countries.
As the five elders, their group is very repulsive to Hinata, who is the guardian of mankind and is also maverick and uncontrollable."
Therefore, Hinata either died at the hands of enemies or so-called friends, and Chloe's reincarnation seemed to never end.
"Really?" Rimuru nodded heavily. He had met Hinata and didn't think she was a bad person. But whether it was her stubborn way of protecting human beings or his desire to coexist harmoniously with human beings so he would use demons conveniently.
The country's economy has penetrated deeply into Western countries, all because it has stepped on the tail of the ancient gryphon.
Even if Rimuru is not an expert, he will know the consequences of taking someone else's political and economic pie without permission. He has read various international news and history in his previous life.
Crownpiss said: "As for the matter about humans' stronger trump card, I should ask Yuuki or Clayman for the answer. I haven't had time yet."
To be precise, that was what Clayman wanted when he was working with Yuuki to resurrect the demon king Kazalim, but it was still taken away by the Rozo family.
The process of Clunpisi is unknown, but since they can't get it, they must be willing to sell out information and favors.
"I know." Verustila, who was sitting on Crownpis' lap, suddenly raised his hand to signal.
"ah?"
"Eh?"
Rimuru and Cronpis made sounds of surprise. You know, although Verustila is considered the Demon King, everyone still treats her as a child. Except for her age as the Great Storm Demon Vortex, she is indeed
It's the child that emerged from Clawnpisi's belly not long ago.
"Have you ever done this to little Stella?" Clawnpis touched Velustila's little head and asked in a pretense of intimacy.
Velustila raised the tip of her nose and said, "Humph, Winnie told me."
"Who is Winnie?" Rimuru asked.
"...Huh? Haven't you seen it before?" Verustila tilted her head in disbelief.
"Seen."
Charles seconded the motion.
"Ah, I'm sorry, but I don't know most of the people here. Please give me more details." Rimuru said.
"Ah, that." Milim began to interrupt, "That's the female undead dragon that Clayman's subordinates just evolved into after receiving the blessing of the awakened demon king. It's much more handsome than the wild dragon. I think it would be a good place to put in the maze.
It’s an idea, originally I wanted to bring her as a gift to Rimuru.”
"The reason you remember is the last one, right? If you want to add a dragon boss to the maze, go and catch it in the wild." Rimuru replied, thinking that it should be the beautiful dragon who invited him on behalf of Clayman last time.
Bar.
However, she does look quite good and has unique features. If Milim is really captured, and if Clayman doesn’t complain, it’s not like he can’t take her away...
The delusion was interrupted because Shion seemed to have a fierce look on her face for a moment.
Rimuru hurriedly asked Velustila: "So, Clayman entrusted her to tell you the information about Miss Winnie?"
"No," Verustila shook his head, "It was the last Demon King's Banquet. Rimuru didn't go, and Ramiris didn't go either, so I went. Clayman recently showed off his all-round achievements.
As for the subordinates who bless evolution. Because there were too many people, it became a buffet, so we could chat freely. Clayman has always regarded human countries as imaginary enemies, so corresponding information will be reported to subordinates who have relevant uses. Originally affiliated with the Western Holy Church
That’s what Amanda told me.”
Rimuru: "Clayman can even seduce people from the Western Holy Church?"
Verustila: "I heard from him that he was jealous of his promotion in the past and was persecuted by Master Qiyao."
Rimuru: "Speaking of which, the Nine Demonic Tamamo Alga that Crounpis bought from him was originally persecuted by the Eastern Empire? Clayman is really good at recruiting talents in this field."
