Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 135

Leon's subordinate, a knight clad in silver, Alrose suddenly appeared before me.

Without dallying even a minute after his arrival,

ŒLeon-sama is engaged in mortal combat with Kagurazaka Yuuki.

We beg for your assistance!

He exclaimed.

Umm? Leon you bastard, you slipped out before we agreed on a formal alliance?

I mean, I don't really have an obligation to assist, but...

Oh well.

I guess this gives me a chance to steal Leon's prey...

Besides it would suck if Leon just kicked the bucket from hubris. And I wouldn't want to let Yuuki slip away again.

That kind of dangerous guy needs to be killed as soon as possible.

I guess I might as well go.

ŒAlright. Lead the way

ŒAy! Right this...

I decided to interrupt Alrose, and said

ŒActually, I'll just tap into your memories for a bit

I entered his mind without waiting for approval.

And easily established a thought-link. He did consent to it... afterwards.

I then contacted Benimaru and Shion and had them begin Yuuki-subjugation preparations.

Even as I was communicating with them, I was already stepping through space towards the battlefield.

This is the first time I rely on others' coordinates to make the jump.

Even though I am slightly anxious, I have faith in Raphael's support.

Thus, without a single blunder, we successfully appeared in the skies above the battlefield. Shion was surely running late.

But I have Ranga in my shadows, and I can just summon Veldora if need be. First things first is to save Leon...

Is what I thought.

But by then Yuuki had already escaped. What. the. hell. Seriously?

Now then, these is the current state of affairs.

The land was deformed, reflecting a wonderful battle. Pieces of the mountain were gouged out, and the nearby forests rotted.

The grounds itself reeks of death, and a single (beautiful) crater was in the center of it.

The size of the crater basically tells me that this was a typical battle-manga style battle.

But wait... aren't we over the Dwarf's Kingdom? Though there's a lot of rock between the top and the kingdom itself, with the battle at this scale I wonder if they caused any earthquakes.

By the looks of it, I can expect at least magnitude four? I can't see below, but I guess there might be some casualties.

This isn't a volcano, but if an earthquake is bad, people might have died.

We should check the kingdom out. Just when I thought so, Shion appeared.

ŒHey, go see the Dwarf's Kingdom

If there's lots of casualties help out. And tell the king I said hi

ŒAy, understood. What about the enemies?

ŒOh, they already ran away. It's not dangerous anymore, so don't worry.

And please try to be polite

ŒAy!

I sent Shion off.

Shion's entourage follow suit. She trains them well.

Wait, don't I recognize three people with her. Aren't those Demon Lord Dagrule's sons?

Is that fine? To bring another Demon Lord's sons to battle?

...what do I care? I'll just pretend I didn't know. I'm not responsible!.. Not how it works, you say? Nope! If it bothers you, you lose.

So let's pretend I never thought any of this. Rather, let's go talk to Leon.

ŒWell, well, well. Leon, care to explain?

Leon is sorting through some meat.

Seems like he's digging out a red lump of... oh, it's parts of a woman clad in red armor...

After locating the woman, he cleaned up the rest of the flesh with a purifying light.

When he was finished, he finally looked at me.

ŒIt's as you see

He said, with a look of "don't you get it?"

I do get it~!

I wanted to scream at him,

ŒI want to hear it from you

I responded with a smile.

Did I just see a vein pop on his head?

Is this silent gentleman mad at me?.. If I were a girl would he still be mad at me?

...I guess he would. Definitely.

ŒWe too like to hear an explanation. Of course, in grand detail, Leon.

Wonderfully timed, Ruminas.

She dropped from the sky with her seven sages.

Seems like Leon sent for Ruminas as well. And she actually came to help!?

She actually came when called by a person she barely knows?

ŒHmph. So you came. I thought I could handle that human Yuuki.

My bad, I let him get away. I underestimated him

Leon confessed when we both pressed on.

But before he explained what had occurred.

In the midst of gouged earth and rotting forests, an elegant tea set.

The Seven Sages began preparing tea. As Ruminas was lying relaxed on a sofa they set, and Leon was sitting in an elegant chair.

Hey... just how comfortable are you going to get?

ŒPlease, here

A sage with a young voice directed me into a comfortable chair. And I sat.

It was really comfy. What a fine chair it is.

Another sage was fanning Ruminas. Our tea party would have seemed eerie to onlookers, but I guess I shouldn't mind it.

ŒWell then, explain

Ruminas said, and Leon began explaining.

In short, after my visit Leon decided to attack Yuuki alone. And the result is as we see here.

There's two reasons why he didn't invite us.

He underestimated Yuuki and didn't want to reveal his power.

ŒIn other words, if we fought together would you fight at full strength?

Ruminas and I had trouble responding to Leon's question.

ŒWhy, of course we would. We trust thee

Ruminas responded with a smile.

What a blatant lie. Wait, weren't monsters unable to lie?!

I remember that our existence gets erased or something like that
