Rather than standing around chatting, we decided to head inside

I guided Guy towards a VIP lounge located in Tes were chosen by Myoure there ould incur heavy losses

Some expensive pieces of artwork had also been displayed

It was a special lounge where only the specially selected, or the highest of nobles were accoeance, simplicity, and a subdued refinement, which truly showed Myourmilles’ sensitivity to urdo and the others still neededlike 「This place is very cal to the topic, if Guy went on a rae we’d handle that then

Since we had no other suitable rooms to accommodate hie We couldn’t just take the strongest of the Denedly guiding hiood taste I also happen to like this type of furnishings」

Guy co, as far as surprises go

I had misunderstood hiance

No, when you think about it, even Oda Nobunaga may have perhaps had this sort of taste……

Maybe, the more short tempered and violent ones were ht just be ht choice bringing hih-class wooden chair carved from aromatic woods, I faced Guy

On top of a small table between us, tea was served and its arolance, but a surprising aood! Our dimouldn’t be able to pull this off at all

I wonder if should I should send thelad you’re pleased

Or rather, even since I ca but what I pleased

In any case, this was the first time I had to be this careful around the other party

No, afteraside whether or not I can win against him, I just wanted to avoid conflict as much as possible

It’s too troublesome to deal with Because it will definitely result in sos

「Oh really? You’re actually the first one I’ve brought here you know

This is the highest grade parlor we have, we only bring in those ant to ood iht Or else I couldn’t call ood Demon Lord now could I

If I had throayaround in the shadows」

I started with a jab (EN:with your pace, Ion his reaction, I was going to have to adjust my attitude towards Guy

In any case, I had to, first and foremost, to find out the reason he caotten a report from somebody, when he mentioned the Demon Lords

Probably, the only one ould do this was Dino In fact, he confessed so himself

After all, any spies within the country had been completely cleared out This I could say with full confidence

With the surveillance network spread out by Souei, and by using ic to detect malevolence, we could absolutely elience activity

In any case, since I put intelligence gathering above all else, not letting the ene to us was just common sense

I had used any and all means I could come up with to eli to probe !

Oh well, let’s save ourselves the trouble

I caht with the eht have expected, I heard this frootten a report frouy, but I heard you’ve slain around a ot a number of Demon Lord class subordinates under you

This re the previous Walpurgis, and that gotall that, he drank the black tea with elegant move of sos anyway

But, that Guy Right after declaring that he wouldn’t probe, threw a straight ball

Basically, he wants to see th No, isn’t there s with the Empire?

「Indeed, I do have several Demon Lord class subordinates

The 3 you knocked out earlier are also included

Naturally, there are others But I have no intention to tell you about all of theth th is naturally important」

「I see, so there are others

Or rather, are you an “Otherworlder”?

And a slime, for that matter?」

「Nn? Huh? You didn’t know?

I’m a slime that has retained the heart of an “Otherworlder”, A “Reincarnator” you know?」

「Seriously?」

「Seriously!」

Guy and I locked eyes with each other

Or rather, he didn’t know I thought for sure so like that ell known

I had already declared this to the world, and thought it was surely passed along to the kings of each country

It may have only been my impression that all the information was known by everyone

I don’t think there was any , but it see any information I’ll make sure to consider it next ti could happen!

No wonder you like that huot an i, but this explains the reason behind your fixation

I see, that also explains how you’re able to obtain an Ulti you can obtain so easily

But if a soul was able to preserve its ego after “World Crossing”, of course that soul would get er

I was suspicious that Rudra was just perfor some self-scripted act, but if that’s the case, then I’ you」

Hm? Self-scripted?

It was curious so I inquired the details

The story goes, Emperor Rudra and Guy had been at odds for over a thousand years

And in the midst of that, I had appeared

I had suddenly awakened as a true Demon Lord, and even obtained an Ulti to do with Veldora’s resurrection, and they had decided to take a wait-and-see approach, but the recent conflict with the I to Dino’s report, we escaped unharmed, and the i sole demon lord, could Rudra――that’s the e defeat?

Despite wanting to wait-and-see, there was no point in suffering that much of a loss

It seest the survivors

He didn’t care even if there were only 10s of survivors

Once upon a time, when Veldora had rounded-up and killed a lot of thees, Rudra didn’t feel it was his loss

He made up an understandable reason to appease the public,and trained the ar the survivors evolve was the Rudra’s basic co each other was also for a similar reason

To clash, and then rise up as true De the case, both Guy and Rudra were fighting as if playing a long gaame of patience

But, the number of survivors this time was 0

There was the probleained multiple Dele survivor

The reason was si Rudra would never allow

He must have acted with some kind of purpose in mind……

In Dino’s report, he hinted that he was of the sa, Dino

So Guy suspected a self-scripted act

Causing a grand o to ith Dethen Rimuru’s forces

In other words, I had betrayed Guy’s Demon Lord faction, and joined Eist of his doubts

Or rather, he even thought that I could be a spy sent by E

A just recently bornan Ultimate Skill, normally this would be inconceivable

Couldn’t it be that due to the Eiven an Ultiive an away Ultimate Skills to someone, is that even possible?」

「If it’s this kind of ability, then it’s not i an inferior foret th threshold, it’s not to the extent of being a threat」

I wanted to hear more because I had doubts, but then he just dropped a bombshell of an announcement on me

Or rather, you’re the only one who’d say someone with an Ultimate Skill was not a threat, daory as Guy

Their perspective of things tended to be so cake were in co iht now

Undeceived by his appearance, I needed to keep calanize this infor it all out in ar intake is very important

A self-scripted act (EN: hypothetical scenario here)

When the emperor released and dominated Veldora, he bestowed an ability onto a slime he found there

With the sli the Great Jura Forest together, and awaken as a De as a Demon Lord would be a simple matter

However, since Veldora’s presence couldn’t be felt for some unknown reason, he didn’t completely trust this prediction

Up till there, it was fine

After that, as the slime awakened as a Demon Lord, Veldora had revived simultaneously

There was definitely some kind of relation between these two events

The slime, as one of the Demon Lords, would infiltrate Guy’s faction

It would crush and devour Guy’s faction fro Belzebuth (EN: Beelzebub -> Belzebuth More info below)

This ti no survivors, he decided to drop by and check on the situation himself

As Emperor Rudra and Guy were at constant war, if I really were on the e a si cleared, but one wrong step would have resulted in a catastrophe
