Chapter 321: 321
As expected, it was Julius and Karma .
I had told the teachers to stop them if they tried to come in here, so it meant that the other students must have helped them .
I could feel my mouth curling into a little smile .
To think they would come here to talk to me directly after finding out that I was the Great Demon Lord .
Well done! I thought .
“Master Satoru…no, Lord Rimuru! Please forgive Magnus!”
As soon as they entered, Karma bowed deeply and said those words .
And then Julius followed .
“Magnus is our friend . But we didn’t realize he was troubled, and we didn’t consult him . We hadn’t talked together about what we really felt . We couldn’t . However, we would like to now . I want to say what I really feel, from the heart! So please, could you not give us that chance?”
Julius expressed himself before lowering his head just as Karma had done .
This was good .
I now had a reason to forgive .
“Very well . You can all share the responsibility for what happened . ”
At these words, Julius, Karma and Magnus all raised their faces at once .
Rozari also looked at me with uncertainty .
“You can all help each other . If one of you looks to be going down the wrong path, stop him . Do you agree that everything happened while you were my students? Teachers are responsible for what their students do . And so I will close my eyes in this case . ”
Diablo sat back in his chair gracefully and enjoyed his tea .

Souei was pouring me a second cup .
Neither of them said a word in protest .
“So-so…does that mean that we are forgiven…?”
Rozari asked hesitantly .
It was not me, but Diablo who answered her .
“Hehehe . Can I tell you something? When Lord Rimuru says he forgives you, he has forgiven all of your sins . He says he is going to close his eyes, so that means that you have all gotten away . But remember, there won’t be a next time . ”
And then Souei added,
“Yes . The real problem was with the school . In a way, you were all victims . This plan of raising personnel and sending them to the center was quite interesting . That alone is hardly a crime . ”
He said .
Exactly .
Ultimately, brainwashing students was not good, but the rest was hardly an issue .
“Well, that’s how it is . I said as much to Irina, but when it comes to war, your perspective will change depending on which country you are with . Such is history . It cannot be helped that people wish for their country to have an advantage . That is why it is important to study the history of other countries as well as your own . It will help you understand both sides and judge fairly . Well, perhaps this is not the most convincing argument, since it’s coming from the mouth of a Demon Lord . ”
I finished .
I was about to tell Magnus and the others to leave, when Godama caught my eye on the floor .
“…Oh, yes . Julius . You were shouting about how much you hated me, weren’t you?”
“Oh?”

Diablo immediately reacted to this . Even Souei’s eyebrows twitched .
“Uh, no…that…”
Sweat dripped from his handsome face as he desperately searched for the right words .
Hehehe .
I had mostly ignored his words, but I couldn’t say that I wasn’t just a little hurt .
“Even I was a little wounded by having such words said to my face . ”

“It was just a…a figure of speech…”
Julius had tears in his eyes .
I decided to let him off here .
“I’m joking . All is forgiven . But on one condition . ”
“Condition?”
“Yes . Take care of this . ”
So saying, I pointed at Godama .
Julius looked less than enthusiastic, but he agreed without complaint .

“As you are all responsible, you can take it around to the other schools . It will be a punishment for you, so you can take turns every year . I am sure that any student who thinks of doing something foolish will have a change of heart when they see this . It’s two birds with one stone, isn’t it?”
Rozari and the three others looked very unenthusiastic about it .
That made me quite satisfied .
I was able to get rid of the thing and also punish them at the same time .
Hurrah!
After that, I had all of the revolutionaries, or ‘Human Emancipation Alliance’ members taken in, as they seemed to have very extremist views .
Souei’s subordinates had already received the order, and they would be finished with this task shortly .
I would hand them all over to Laplace, as they would make good workers .
I was sure they would prove to be very useful .
And just like that, the great cleansing of the school and driving out of the troublemakers was complete .
—Afterward .
Julius, Magnus, Karma and the others of their class became legendary warriors whose names went down in history as the people who the Great Demon Lord once cooked for .
Some of them, like Marsha, became actual heroes . As she was known as the forebearer of the new style of magic .
My escape resulted in several other amusing stories as well, but those were for another time .
After returning to Tempest .
My body, Rimurun, was cruelly split into two .
Well, as it was a slime, it had just split into two smaller slimes… Still, it was not a good feeling when you thought of it as your own body .

“Th-this is…um…”
“No! It was because Shuna wouldn’t let go!”
It was surprising enough that Shuna would resist Shion’s great strength .
But more than that, I was shocked that my incredibly resilient body had been split into two .
These two should not ever be angered .
I promised to myself once again .
By the way, I was able to return to normal by absorbing the two Rimurun bodies .
Shuna and Shion looked a little sad, so I thought that I would give them a doll next time .
The Forum was held in the Ingracia School City–The development of magic and science . The 8th…
Mai gave a wonderful lecture .
She had succeeded in stabilizing the Different Gate after ten years .
But the fact that I listened to her and thought, ‘maybe it would be fun to visit another world next time,’ will be our little secret .
