Seeing Velustila hesitating to her, Cronpis joked in a serious tone: "Could it be that... the criminal who stole Rimuru's glass sculptures is you, little Stella?"
?”
Verustila couldn't stand the joke and suddenly panicked.
"No way! How could it be me!"
"Well, I basically know who it is. The culprit is indeed Rimuru, right?" Clawnpisi covered her mouth and laughed.
"…………"
"Perhaps Rimuru felt too shy and hid the things on his own without asking for their purpose? It would be very bad if the public knew the truth. This case will become an unsolved case." Crownpis rolled her hips.
The chair laughed.
"Ah? Ahhh...oh, that..."
"What's wrong?"
Verustila puffed up her cheeks, her face gradually turned red, and suddenly she rushed forward and hit Crounpisi's chest with two small fists: "Mom is so cunning! She knew she knew it but she made us panic for so long!"
"Ah la la, little Stella, do you think it would be better for Lim to show his face and sweep the floor?" Cronpis stroked Velustila's head and said, "My lord is very filthy."
"Isn't this just talking about Rimuru? He just bribed me not to tell anyone."
"What did he bribe?"
“Oh, this—travel coupon.”
"So fast?" Crounpis took it and took a look, secretly sighing that it was indeed this one.
The ruins access permit stamped by Kagurazaka Yuki himself, it is said to be a tour, but it is indeed a tour.
However, this location is obviously different from the one Verustila mentioned last time. It is a ruins in Clayman’s territory.
"Strange, why did you choose to take action so early?"
"Mother?"
"No, little Stella, you've been tricked." Crownpis patted Velustila's head with a "loving" look on her face, "I originally ordered this. But you never thought of a different location.
Is it weird in the Demon King’s territory?”
Velustila tilted his head and expressed confusion: "Don't you have a good relationship with Clayman? Yuuki supports Rimuru. Let's discuss it together occasionally and go to the back garden of Clayman's house to play together.
Is there anything wrong with you?"
"Ah, if you don't have any preconceived ideas, it seems that this is really the case?"
To put it simply, it’s because Crownpis helped Yuuki and Clayman, guys who like to be bosses behind the scenes, provide some cover and steal a lot of public attention, making them less suspicious. Obviously
Even now they should be thinking about expanding their power and eliminating dissidents.
"Mom, you and dad really have been hiding something from me recently, right?" Verustila became suspicious.
Kroenpis was evading the truth and became hypocritical: "Of course, who would reveal everything about themselves all the time? But it is indeed a good idea to go to Clayman's house before the Founding Day. But this
Don’t tell dad about this, I’m afraid he will accidentally demolish the Clayman house.”
"Yes~ I know this kind of thing even if you don't tell me." Verustila responded obediently and asked again, "Then, will mom come with you?"
"No, I have something to do. There are other distinguished guests coming to the Demon Kingdom recently. I need to greet them on behalf of Rimuru. Who asked him to take you to play, hehehe."
……………………………………………………
To outsiders, they are just an old human man and his lovely granddaughter, but they are not simple——
"As expected, it looks like there is no chance of success at all, grandpa. The business here is probably fully prepared for our methods."
"Yes, Marianne Bell. Obviously I think it would be a pity to destroy this country. Can I leave it to you next?"
"The combat power is a little lacking. We seem to have been discovered. Fortunately, we are the only two who were discovered."
Marianne Bell was hinting that his "grandfather" Gulambel Rozzo's reaction to the Demon Kingdom was too tepid.
If, while the Demonic Kingdom is still being promoted as the enemy, Gulamber Rozo, as the head of the "Seven Lights Master" who works part-time in the Western Holy Church, can make arrangements to kill the Demonic Kingdom, which was relatively empty at that time compared to now, even though
It will cause serious damage, but it may not be impossible.
As for the possible counterattack - Marianne Bell knows the truth about God Luminas. After all, Granbell has the identity of the center of the Western Holy Church. He can just lead the conflict and leave it to the Demon King to fight among himself.
In her eyes, the Demon Kingdom is a threat that must be eliminated at such a price.
Although there were originally a few relatively mild moves that would normally be enough to prevent the Demon Kingdom from intervening in the human economic circle, after secretly talking to them and agreeing to surrender to Damrad who agreed to eliminate Sakaguchi Hinata, Sakaguchi Hinata returned to Lumina alive.
For Si Shen, it is better to assume that those chess pieces have been exposed and cannot be used.
As for why this young human girl can make such a judgment, the answer is that she is a "reincarnated person" among the "visitors from another world".
In her previous life, she was an emperor who ruled Europe. She was not the king, head of state, president, prime minister, or secretary of any country. Instead, she manipulated finance at will in the context of a free economy, and actually interfered and controlled the policies of big countries from behind the scenes. Every war
, causing not only a large number of dead bodies and the plunder of resource territories, but also the impact on world capital flows and exchange rates, changes in various commodity prices and production capacity, etc.
The rich have become richer, and powerful countries have become stronger; weak countries without the value of occupying and developing have gone bankrupt and been abandoned, and countless poor refugees face a miserable future.
All of this allowed him to enjoy all the glory at that time, live a very happy life, and live a long life.
It's the same in this life. She was born with the status of a princess of a country. Although there was something wrong with her gender, she was born as a direct princess of the Luozo family who secretly controlled the Western economy. Even the five old leaders, Gulamber, had to pay attention to her.
With her abilities, this is not a big problem.
Greedy, she came and got the unique skill of the Seven Deadly Sins [Greedy], which can see through and influence other people's desires, and control others without knowing it. As a princess, her brothers, sisters, queen and king are all her pawns.
Within a few years, he was recognized by the elder Gulamber, and formed an alliance with him, determined to establish a world controlled by the Luozo family.
The reason why he didn't continue to use greed to control his spirit and defeat the superior was because - if he couldn't be beaten, he had no choice but to join. Fortunately, their interests did not conflict. Gulambel even regarded Marianne Bell as his hope and heir.
.
Now, Marianne Bell is ten years old, and she plans to reveal all the cards she has prepared and deal with the Demon Kingdom with all her strength.
Gulamber knew that Hinata would return in that form, and probably knew his truth after looking at other timelines. There was a high possibility that he would not be safe in the future, so he decided to fight to the death.
