Seeing as he was so tense and talks stiffly, I cut him off.
To the public, Gabil was exiled and disowned by his father. From his tone, it doesn’t seem like there was any intention to recall him back publicly right now. His father is a serious person, but he also has many good qualities about him and is a good leader. As I was pondering this, I suddenly ended up with an idea. 「Oh, that’s right, Chief. Allow me to give you the name ”Abil”. After all you are Gabil’s father, or rather for you having no name is a bother.」 (Rimuru)
So, he says and nods with great vigor, he then departed from this place. I passed a wink over to the waiting Rigur to have him guide Abil towards Gabil’s residence. Rigur nodded and left with Abil. By the way, it was certain that Abil will evolve into Dragonewt. The name bestowed quite a large amount of Divine Protection onto him and cost a bit of power, but it’s still a problem that i’m naming people thoughtlessly. Above all I don’t have intention to do that. Please excuse me from a death march. [7] This time, naming the Head was a form of gratitude for Gabil’s efforts, but in the future I must control my tendencies to name people.
Continuing after Abil was Clan Heads of the High Orc, They had come to offer their greetings with only a few people as escort. They didn’t bring any guards with them, maybe because they trust me fairly highly. The several people they did bring were their child and grandchildren. Naturally, their food situation were improved, their lifestyle also improved. Above all, the children were born, and that every child was born as a High Orc. Because of that they felt a great level of astonishment and joy, they wanted to report it to me directly. I thought to myself that it would only be natural that their children would become High Orcs, but I was told that it was actually exceptionally rare. As it would turn out, the birth of a variant would normally be limited to a single generation. With their birth rates now decreased, they could now focus on child care and development. As the future working force, I instructed them to raise the children with great care.
「It’s been a long time, Rimuru-sama. Our congratulations for your ascension to a Demon Lord.」 (Trainee-san)
Without any hesitation, she offered her greetings. I was also helped by her in the past, so I owe her and the Treants quite a bit. From there we ended up discussing our mutual relationship. As for now, it seems there wasn’t any immediate problem, but it seemed that moving was troublesome for her. Actually, before me Trainee-san’s body become rather thin.
「Eh, really? The Fairy Queen you say? Do you know the name?」(Rimuru) 「Yes, it‘s the Great Ramiris-sama. Several thousand years ago, it was she who arbitrated with evil people, and after that her appearance vanished............」 (Trainee-san)
「Umm...... I may have a clue about such person, but.......」 (Rimuru) 「EEEH!? Is that... is that true!?」 (Trainee-san)
「Ah, that unchanging beauty, the elegant appearance......」(Trainee-san)
Proudly, Ramiris came over and began boasting towards me. Annoyingly. She flying and buzzing around me.
Such feeling, she really overjoyed. Oh well, I don’t care. To meet with comrade by chance was a happy event. By the way, to had joyous reunion was just the first part, so I spoke once again 「Anyway, how about moving into Ramiris’s labyrinth? You see, since that place is near Tempest and it was also Ramiris’s territory, you know?」(Rimuru) 「Ah! That’s might be good... The floor can be enlarged easily, there are also a lot of empty floor, there also a JungleForest floor too!」(Ramiris)
Trainee-san was seriously worried about that. The actual place, when I gave Ramiris the permission to establish the labyrinth, I also granted her extraterritorial rights on that place. The Inside of the labyrinth was under both of my and Ramiris’s control, it was a special area under the administration of a joint sovereignty.[11] As I explaining that and I also added that for now immigration wouldn’t be an issue. Although Trainee-san was hesitating, she quickly recovered and decided to consult about this matter with the Treant elders. After that, she returned using teleportation. As expected of someone with the ability to manipulate the magic power of nature, she had quite the convenient skill. Although it looked like spatial transfer, its invocation was quick. But if I use my analysis ability, I would probably be able to learn it soon. After three days, the consultation between the elders had been completed smoothly and Trainee-san once again came. She then immediately requested for an audience, and the first thing she spoke was, 「We, the Treant and Dryad, would like to relocate under the protection of Ramiris-sama. Can you give us your approval, Rimuru-sama?」 (Trainee-san)
After I gave my consent, Trainee-san was elated. However, there was one problem, how on Earth were they going to relocate the gigantic trees? That was the question. However, even so the solution was unexpectedly easy. Ramiris will opened the labyrinth door over there, and transfer them as they were to the Labyrinth. Because, I don’t think that the Treants could relocate by themselves. However, since Ramiris’ subordinates will be increasing, then it could lead the labyrinth inside to become stabilized in the coming weeks. The increased control of the magic power and air management will make running the Labyrinth remarkably easier. And, although the numbers of the Dryad was only a few, they were suited as the guides inside the labyrinth. The 95th floor was established as the residence of the Treants to reside, they could replace Ramiris and Veldora to establishing that floor Thus it will become a floorstage of overgrown greeneries. That floor had the widest area, with a diameter of 5 km. And, around the door that lead to the 96th floor was the last Record SiteSave Point[12] and there would also establishment like Inn and etc before the boss. They could also open a business like Equipment Shop that offered high quality weapons and armors in their storefront, which can only be found and purchased here. But since the customers visiting will be very rare, I don’t doubt that opening the shop will just be a hobby. Surrounding the area was the completed Treant’s Village. Thanks to the thick magical power concentration, everyone could live vividly, I also got the agreement of the Dryads to help with the management of the Labyrinth. Rather, it was the other party that wished to be useful. I believe I have secured a group of loyal and cooperative workers. Later on, on that Floor, one forest-type city will be founded. A city that confer solace, for those who suffered many struggles to penetrate the Jungle. It was known as the “Labyrinth City”, the flourishing Metropolis of Illusions. A town that won't grant its blessing to anyone except for those who could successfully reach it. However..... That was still a story in the future, which even for my current self couldn’t imagine happening.
The Tengu reside in the mountain range near where the High Orc mountain clan settled. Furthermore, they had established their village before the gate to some other realm on an inaccessible mountain summit. Although it was once believed that there could be no one capable of inhabiting that place, it seems that those of high ranking races aren’t bothered so much by such environments. As the representative of their elder, the granddaughter, a youthful girl named Momiji, came baring their greetings. Though the male’s nose was long just like their name[16], the females of the species have normal ones as it would turn out. What stands out was that their skin color is rather reddish.. or perhaps that the male’s noses aren’t as long as I thought they would be. Well, I suppose if it was too long, it would become an inconvenience, so perhaps this is to be expected. However..... this race. Their pride was surprisingly high. The very first thing that she said to me was, 「Hmph. To think that there would come an age where we would come to be ruled over by a lowly slime. How amusing. So amusing, I can’t laugh at it.... Oh well, what’s done is done. We will give our recognition of your rule over this forest. However, we won’t tolerate if you meddle in our affairs.」(Momiji) So, she declared in front of the department heads. Twitching, Shion was started to burst out. But, the surprising thing was she able to restrain herself. Whatever things that were changing inside that girl’s mind, she won’t lose herself in rage over these small matters. Although it was a good tendency, it was..... Somewhat eerie at the same time. However, it may be accumulated and exploded. I stopped looking at the changes on Shion behavior.
「I see, I can come to an understanding of the Tengu’s intentions. On the matter of not interfering with your affairs, we will also won’t send any assistance to you either. Is this arrangement fine with you?」(Benimaru)
「Yes, that’s fine.」(Momiji) As such, when she gave her answer, I offered a nod. And then, Benimaru takeover the conversation.
For forming a desirable friendly relationship, because she had troubling herself to came here, and then sees the tournament. I think she will return after enjoying herself in this country. But, the granddaughter of the Tengu’s elder, Momiji was, 「Fufu. I want to see what kind of level the subordinate of the slime. Anyway, I think that it was just a good strike of luck for it to become a Demon Lord, right? [17]」(Momiji)
「Though I endured it, isn’t that too much?」(Shion)
I want to admonish those two carefree couple. The problem was about the rights for mining. Oh well, in the first place it’s not about who owns the mountain. Now, I’m going to officially proclaim and made myself well-known, thus if there were any races that were objecting to my rule or my person, they will obviously show their hostility in the behavior. Well, nonintervention was good. Although I could easily crushed them, as much as possible I want to foster good relationship with them. Responding the more or less impertinent conduct, let’s just close one eye at that.[18]
What a troublesome bunches rather than passionate, that had come here. However. In the moment when I saw those fellows, an idea flashed inside my mind. That’s right! Speaking about labyrinth, it must have Minotaur! Such thing like, weren’t the Gozu really suitable as boss character? I want them. I want them by all means, as a boss unit, I want to leave them around 30th floor. Such feelings continued to pour out after my initial idea. However, on the contrary of such feelings, these monsters were having low loyalty towards me. A good employer was able to do these kinds of things. And, it was really obvious, that their ulterior motive was using me to destroy the other. I winked at Shion. Shion was going like “Eh? Is it okay?” After she showed such expression, immediately a wicked smile began to sprout on her face. ....... 「YOU ALL are in the presence of my king, THERE IS A LIMIT FOR DISRESPECT! If you all do not give appropriate courtesy, you had BEST PREPARE YOURSELVES TO RECEIVE SUITABLE TREATMENT.」 To summarize what happened, both of them were beaten up viciously. It didn’t take even one minute. Both of their clan youngsters that they had taken with them had no time to interfere. It was a very quick work. With a single glare, the subordinates of the two were silenced, Shion then bowed to me. With this, all was fine. These fellows were different from the Tengu before, I could use them. Or rather, I could use them without any reservation. In the first place, in their 100 years war they were repeatedly looting each other, yup, an annoying and troublesome duo of races. Actually, in case of their fighting strength, they might above the Ogre[19]. In simple combat, either one of them could be called the strongest race in the Great Jura Forest. I don’t know just how many of them could qualify for rank A though. However, that racial-conflict that has been raging n for 100 years has been constantly causing trouble for the surroundings. Before the other race raised their complaint, I think it was not a problem to give them punishment. 「You guys seem to have plenty of excess power, so I will prepare the stage for you guys to mettle it out. If you oppose, what await you guys is only destruction. However, if you manage to achieve victory, it would be useful as appeal to me, think about this well. At best, you should strive yourself for victory with your utmost effort.」(Rimuru) I declared exaggeratedly while not permitting them to raise any objection. At the same time, I erased my presence while at the same time released the entire of『Demon Lord’s Haki』with the intent to slightly intimidating them. Perceiving such presence, the Gozu and Mezu fall prostrating. They begin to trembling and shaking, there wasn’t the slightest hint of the insolent attitude that they had earlier. Eh? Should I emitted『Demon Lord’s Haki』from the beginning....... No, there’s no need to be excessive. Besides, I’m fairly certain it was more effective if it was emitted at the right time. Anyway, I will make these two people participate in the Tournament. And then, suitably, I put them to work at the labyrinth. In my head, there was only joy because I obtained such good Boss materials. 『We will strive with all our hearts to meet your expectations! Therefore, we beg you for your forgiveness for our rudeness!!』(The Duo Gozu and Mezu)
With such feeling, I end the audience with me.......
But, the people who were having the last audience were bringing a problem.
