Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 52

ED NOTE: There are some parts that even I don't understand myself; forgive me for any errors.

The Devil Myulan was relieved to finally be able to report.

She had left her best friend and the violent Demon lord Milim behind in the city which they were to monitor, but, this was something completely outside of her expectations.

It surprised her that a weak little slime is the head of the city, furthermore, Milim's behavior was also something she couldn't understand.

The way a demon lord thinks is something an ordinary person will never understand.

Rather, isn't that particular Demon Lord a little, no, relatively eccentric?

On a cultural level, it seems the demon lord has made friends in the city they were monitoring.

What's more, the fact that the head of the town is a slime who can take on the form of a masked person was also being reported.

Just to be safe, the fact that Milim was staying in the city was not reported.

I don't think she'll do anything that will violate the agreement between the demon lords.

But, considering the fact I can't understand what Milim is thinking, I must be very cautious.

We definitely cannot use magic in front of Milim.

I judged that communication magic or magic in general, will instantly be detected by Milim.

If she doesn't know my identity, there is a chance that she might not make a move.

These are the types of things you report.

ŒI see...I can use this. Good work, please continue to monitor them.

Clayman said this happily, seemingly having come up with something.

But this has nothing to do with Myulan.

As the garrison's Shaman, she is serving as an officer.

(Stupid humans. I'm a devil, and yet they don't suspect a thing.)

Although she looked down on them, talking to them for some time stirred up strange emotions in her heart.

(I'll let it be for the time being.I wish to enjoy these moments for a little longer.)

She made such a wish subconsciously.

Thus, she went back to work without being too concerned.

.

The Demon Grucius, now a member of the frontier garrison, followed his platoon as they advanced into the forest.

For a beastman such as he, horse-riding was mere child's play.

As such, he naturally stood out in the team.

Even when he held back his true abilities, he couldn't possibly be inferior to humans.

Therefore, he was offered the role of vice captain for one of the three platoons.

However, he refused stating that a newcomer should not hold such a position even after the platoon commander insisted.

Even though he drew some attention to himself, as long as he maintained his current situation, everything will be fine. That's what he believed.

However, what he is currently interested in is the group of goblin wolf riders that followed them.

The strangely evolved Star wolves and their riders the hobgoblins.

As if they were a skilled team, even their breathing is synchronized. This suggests a high level of proficiency .

Above all, The one known as Gobuta was the best amongst the hobgoblins.

Based on his intuition, the best course of action is to kill him on sight.

Grucius curled his tongue.

Originally, he was only planning to invite the Oni, but in this situation it's very likely there are many other talented individuals.

There are a total of 100 Goblin wolf riders, and every one of them have talents I want by all means.

Amongst them are captain Rigur and vice captain Gobuta.

These two have an overwhelming presence over the others.

There are also others, like the Dragonewts I see time to time. They will also become good warriors with some training.

The Orc Pioneers, they aren't much on their own, but truly shine when together in a group.

I heard they were led by an orc lord called Gerudo, but I haven't seen him around the city.

I heard he's always out transporting goods, but he's most likely a powerful individual.

(What do you know, I'll be darned! This city is crazy! If I make a move, all this war potential will be ours!)

In fact, when I look a closer look at the Oni, they're either my equal or even above me.

Even though he is the weakest amongst the servants of the Beast King, this is still clearly something abnormal.

Well, it's fine isn't it? It's more fun this way!

Having strong comrades is something good. Even if we failed, having powerful enemies is also desirable! That much is true.

We, the Beastmen, are a race that thrives in battle. Strong enemies are something that we welcomed.

Thus, while pondering about how he should invite them, he continued with his Frontier Garrison duties.

＊＊＊

YAHHOO ””- Nice!

I am very satisfied with the feeling of spaciousness after such a long time.

When I was in the city, I had to pay attention to what I say, my mind feels like it's about to burst.

Thus, I left all the problems in the city to the two Oni.

But, Benimaru said this himself:

ŒPlease leave everything regarding the city with us two Oni, we'll be able to accomplish anything!

That's what he said. I'm sure he'll manage somehow.

Ranga has been on guard the whole time, but no signs of movements were spotted. Now it's Souei's turn to take over guard duty._

He who doesn't sleep, Souei.

By creating clones, he can get some sleep in shifts. Even though it's certainly a useful ability, I don't want to tell him that he must sleep.

From the looks of things, no one's showing their true colors.

To me, even though they don't seem to be related to Milim, they may be acquaintances.

Because this cannot be handled carelessly, we must monitor them carefully.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to have made a move at all.

If that's the case, then all we can do is to continue to be vigilant. Since I can immediately return to the city with ŽShadow Step, I decided to leave the city for a little while.

Or rather, I speculate that as soon as I'm gone, they're going to start making their move. Milim has also just left, so they must make their move now.

I was on alert whilst thinking about this, but after first day I went out of town nothing happened whatsoever.

After 3 days had passed, I'm starting to think that I may be overly worked up about things.

They also seem to be fairly strong.

"Leave it to me!"

And because he said that I entrusted him to lead the way.

After hearing that, I am now enjoying the spacious feeling after such a long time.

I'm taking this route because roads haven't been developed yet.

After getting off the streets, I followed the animal trail.

Is this really all right?

If that's not enough, we advanced through a variety of different routes. However, there's a veteran here, so I left it to him.

Even though he has a tearful face, lets believe in him.

Besides, it's not like this is the first time he has come by here.

One moment later,

ŒOi oi, we're not actually lost are we?

I said that as a joke.

ŒHahaha. There's no way we would have gotten lost here...

His wording has became strange, everything is fine right?
