128 Alliance of Three Kingdo our arrival

Frothey don’t know I’ve been just playing around the whole tio over well if they knew

「Fuze-kun, co Fuze join us in the reception roo, Shuna had already prepared tea

She really is a well-disciplined Ohirettable secretary, but that secretary does get serious when training the subordinates and the guards

But considering that I’ve been slacking off lately, I have no right to complain

No, actually, I haven’t been playing around! I was studying!

Can’t be getting this distinction wrong side Fuse, I sat on the sofa whilst facing Ruhest quality gently caughttime Ruminas-san, nice to meet you… no, we have met before It’s been a while

This is Fuse-kun He’s the Freedom Association Branch head in Burmund」

I introduced Fuse to the two ladies

「N-nice to dom, work as the head of its Freedom Association branch

To be able to hest tactician of the Western Church, I am truly honored

And to this beautiful lady, it’s the first time we’ve ever e

I anorance!」

Greatly nervous he greeted the him, however,

「Riis that is Glad to see you healthy But, that man must not remain here Freedom Association is the enemy Or have you not noticed?

The identity of he whothis fully well, why do you still associate yourself with someone from the Freedom Association?」

(Translator’s/Editor’s note: the word Ruminas uses to address Rimuru is 貴様 kisama which in modern time is an insult, coo, however, it was used to address a person politely, and this translation Clown feels fits better with Ruminas’ mannerism)

One of the primary Demon Lords–Ruirl silver hair, and heterochroold and silver shine

Why is one of the Octograe that she’s by Hinata’s side; the worst thing I could do here though is act hostile andan alliance with the Western Saint’s Church will probably allow Terate into hu I earnestly want to achieve Hinata and Ruminas’s relation is yet uncertain, but perhaps its best to speak openly rather than keep secrets

But considering that Ru Hinata knows, perhaps it’s better to keep certain things hidden

But first, let’s get theht when I needed it, Shuna entered the room with the tea prepared

Shuna handed out the tea, and left the roolanced to the side and confir as an introduction to Fuse-kun earlier, I would like you to have a look at the report」

After saying so, I beckoned Fuse

With that alone, the endlessly anxious Fuse seeht on

「Understood Apparently, it would seem that I am under suspicion So as to clear in explaining the current internal situations of the Freedom Association

Fuse’s report was sirasia Headquarters

The feari is also under his direct co adventurers with abilities on par with Branch heads has also sided with Yuuki

And thus, with the Organisation currently so, it would prove difficult to denounce Yuuki However, it would appear that those outside the headquarters are not affected

Since it seehtwe can be happy about

Better yet, the citizens do not appear to be under his influence

The only thing they have been convinced of is that monsters are the cause of ree, and consideringa relation of mutual trust not impossible

I mean, think of the satellite city built around the labyrinth—there orcs, goblins, monsters, and adventurers are able to sit in a pub and share atrust between us; I have proven that it is possible for humans and monsters to understand each other

「However, any further investigation is iate the Subari alone, had his memories erased

He was crippled and wandered the town as if protecting it He even forgot his own na the situation it’s pretty obvious

Besides, she probably knows that we’ve been investigating her; I have no excuses, I have failed there」

It see outside of this is out of his hands

However this is enough

If that’s the case, then that wouldthe children a proble pinned as a kidnapping by the demon lord However if I ask Masayuki then there’s probably no problem Fortunately, there’s a convenient reason to every one of his actions,him suitable

Since it’s absolutely impossible for Yuuki to control hi the children, I’ll immediately dissipate the effects of any mind control But I can’t have the around here the whole time, so I should make it look like I’ve done a lot

However, about the erased ht be able to restore it

「Fuse, I’ll try to heal those who had their meht be able to somehow」

「What? Is that true? Please, do it somehow!」

In response to my offer, Fuse looked atby my order so they are essentially ation to do it

He had a happy look on his face and readily accepted the proposition

But to think he trusts me so much to accept a deal with a de our exchange,

「Rimuru, do you really think that you can coexist with huhts cannot be read sih their words

‘Tis it not better for theives ht over this, however her opinions conflict withall the risks, it’s certainly an option, but――

「“Oi oi, young lady In spite of your beautiful face, you say sos

Control humans, who do you you are?

Even if you are a noble, isn’t it bad to look down on ordinary people?」

Fuse got angry and snapped at Ruht, I still haven’t introduced her to Fuse Well, I guess his ignorance led him to step on a landmine

「No, Fuse Kun, Calra her, and the first ti first, lets leave behind all truculent behavior and have a constructive talk

And, this is Hinata

But you should know ht Leader of the Western church」

I’ve briefly introduced the two

Ru to Fuse’s report as per ed that he was no friend of Yuuki’s

However, putting Hinata aside, Rueneral rather than Fuse hi back and forth between Ru his earlier belligerent rehtly sorry for him, and responded

「Ruminas, this man is my companion

Firstly I want to establish soree with your opinion on humans, and please don’t force it onto ed an ene to lecture us despite being a newcoet it」

Ruminas stood up, and took up a stance with both hands

I had planned to diffuse the situation but now I feel like taking this outside

How should I put this, contrary to her appearance, she’s rather short-fused Times like this constantly remind me that all deht in this rooh…

「Stop this Ruminas, didn’t we ca to our enemies?」

Hinata coaxed Ruminas with a hint of irritation

「Hin with, Ruer dissipated

And she sat back in her chair,

「True, we do not wish to increase our ene today, is to propose an alliance between Tempest, Holy Empire of Ruberius, and Western Saint’s Church」

She declared with a thin se ine that she was a de that aside, we have introduced ourselves oncethe details of the alliance

………

……

…

That means, Ruminas was the ruler of the Holy Empire Ruberius?

The conversation continued after we calmed down, but was a revelation!

It seems this was too much of a surprise for Fuse, and he looked as if his soul had flown out of his h anime to knohat that means If you haven’t I recoenre)

Well, that’s to be expected

The Holy Empire Ruberius where the sacred ones reside, where the Pope of the Western Church lives

Who would have iined that it was all under control of a demon lord!

In that case, who is the pope?

「Oldabout the pope」

In response to Ruminas’s words, the butler behind her bowed respectively

「If I’m not mistake, the current pope is currently 47 years old」

I thought he ure

「This is the first time we’ve met I am the current pope, Gilles Lila Ruberius」

In this youthful (… nah, he’s still ed) appearance, he turned into a butler clad in pure white, radiating a divine aura

His figure has become a man in his prime In terms of human years, he would be around mid 40s

So… this butler has pretended to be the pope of every past generation?

Looking at fuse with a glance, he was stunned with his eyes wide opened

This guy’s a skillful one, I’m actually impressed

「Hey, isn’t this weird! Why’s the pope a follower of the demon lord! What the hell is this?! Are you a monster? Why do I feel a divine presence?」
