Among the grand events of the founding ceremony, the opening of the quarter-finals of the martial arts competition took place two days earlier than the King of Kitchen Competition.
Although it is nothing new for Rimuru to lose touch with his personal thoughts that have nothing to do with the overall situation, but today's incident made Crounpis want to scold him.
"Hey, hey, don't you think it's too much to hide from your subordinates and let me take care of you?"
"Crownpiss, didn't you owe me a favor yesterday? Wouldn't it be nice to do it now?"
"I've only been away from you for half a day. Why am I so drunk that I'm still hungover early in the morning when I have an important event?"
Crownpis didn't know what to do with a drunken slime. Anyway, seeing that he felt comfortable with the air, she blew the cold air next to his couch.
"What did you do last night?" she asked.
"Well, some of the problems you raised last time actually came up. Because I was prepared from the beginning, the response was very successful. You know, it was an incident that originally caused the Demon Kingdom to lose its credibility, so I worked with the person in charge of business
Everyone celebrated."
"Why don't you use [King of Gluttony] to absorb the wine? Even if you don't, you should still have the skills to ignore the drunk bar?"
Rimuru had never been drunk before attending important banquets. To be precise, he had never been drunk when there were outsiders.
As Crounpis suddenly guessed, Rimuru said: "I... just wanted to experience the pleasure of being drunk, so I turned off all my skills..."
"Do you have a sane core?"
"I'm angry."
That’s why Crounpis doesn’t want skills to have their own will. Sometimes things like this happen, and the function of automatically taking effect when necessary is enough.
"Forget it, then you learn a lesson and don't do it again in the future."
"This... feels quite difficult."
"Hey!! Don't tell me that you want me to give a speech as your substitute again! Watch me give you treatment (physical)!"
Clunpisi stabbed his hand directly into Rimuru's body without warning. Rimuru had no organs in his body, but in order to experience the pleasure of drinking, he used the skill [Mimicry] to reproduce them.
Crounpisi grabbed one with one hand, pulled out all the miscellaneous organs inside and threw them aside into a pile. She lit a handful of hell fire and burned them all. It was not that she deliberately opened the fire to attract Rimuru seriously.
Even lower-level flames cannot burn at all.
Rimuru is getting harder and harder to get hurt, but he is asking for a hangover...
After finishing everything, Crownpis and Rimuru headed to the arena.
The Demon Kingdom had built a fighting arena on the ground a long time ago in order to hold some sports. Although the venue was designed to be large enough due to the range of many moves, it was not enough to be used as a face for the country, so for the founding ceremony
It underwent extensive renovations.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the reinforcement and preparation of various barriers and protections for the safety of the audience. Even without defensive magic, its strength is enough to dwarf a nuclear bomb shelter.
In order to make the audience enjoy the show, he not only adopted the seating layout of the stadium auditorium in his previous life, but also added four sets of oversized magic screens on the four sides.
In terms of details, Rimuru also added many decorations in the style of the Demon King, such as demon-related statues and reliefs, corridors and doors with strange and eccentric patterns based on ancient witchcraft from his previous life, etc.
There is also a movable dome that can be opened and closed depending on weather changes. It is composed of a translucent film in the shape of six dragon wings.
The sun is shining brightly today. Before the scheduled time, the auditorium that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is already packed with people. The dome, which has been closed for a night, slowly opens and shines sunlight. Six dragon-wing-shaped membranes refract and concentrate the light in the center of the venue, allowing the audience to
The table was filled with excitement.
Although the reason they're boiling certainly has nothing to do with the lighting.
Seeing this, Crownpis grabbed Rimuru who was about to enter the throne through the door, clapped his hands, and the transparent steps descended step by step from above the arena, connecting to the auditorium where the throne was.
"Hehe, it might be more 'people-friendly' from top to bottom, Your Majesty Rimuru?"
Rimuru was "helpless", and this seemed to be really cool, so he took Crounpiss to teleport directly to the top of the steps. Amidst the noise that broke out due to their appearance below, he walked step by step towards the viewing platform.
.
He and Crounpis assumed professional postures and expressions, waving to both sides as they walked, and started chatting in private messages——
【Clownpiss, is this okay? 】
[What’s wrong? Are you afraid that I will steal your king’s limelight? 】
[No, you should pay attention to the angle. Compared with your face, I think it will be great for the audience to see the scenery below you from the bottom up. 】
[My defenses are very tight. Even if the wind lifts my skirt, I don’t have to worry. But you suddenly said so bluntly that you are not afraid that I will ‘accidentally’ kick you down? 】
When they arrived at the auditorium, the steps disappeared. Rimuru briefly delivered a speech to open the conference, then returned to the throne, with Cronpis sitting next to her.
Sitting at the same table were Benimaru, Ultima and other high-level members of the Demon Kingdom's administration, members like Shirao who were the most proficient in the art and responsible for commenting, as well as Milim, Ramiris and a few other people who were interested in this kind of entertainment.
The Demon King and a few foreign guests from the royal families of the Western countries.
Diavolo, Souei, Picosi, Galaxia and other followers and their subordinates stood behind them. Something strange was that - Demon King Luminas was wearing a maid uniform, and his followers and subordinates stood behind them.
Together, he pushed his subordinate Rey to the front and sat down.
"Rimuru, you and Luminas are familiar with each other, right? What is that?"
"Hmm... Personal interest, maybe. Luminas looks pretty in a maid outfit, so it's okay."
During this period, the venue host Cang Hua introduced the participating members one by one.
Nine Demon Tamamo, Momon, Tachibana Kyouya, Otsutsuki Qiangshi, Xizi, Gobuta, Stella, 1phone a.
The Nine Demons Tamamo and Ainz Ooal Gown, who were preparing for the duel first, walked from the large gates on both sides of the arena to the center of the arena, fifty steps apart.
Rimuru: "Huh? That little girl with long hair and little girl's hair in a kimono is Kumagama Tamamo? Are you cultivating this kind of poster girl again, Crounpis?"
Crounpis: "Don't talk nonsense, aren't you here to raise me during this period of time?"
Rimuru: "Well... I was still in a state of depression at that time, so I left it to Ramiris... There was nothing I could do about it. She always looked like a pet at that time, so I think this is okay.
?Hey, that black armored warrior is Feifei? He's an undead, he's waving over here, looking for you?"
Crownpis also smiled and waved to him. Maybe this ordinary greeting would be caught by the paparazzi, but it was not him who was troubled.
