Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 83
The red haired demon lord stood up right after I devoured Clayman.
Excellent, then from today onwards you will be acknowledged and known as a demon lord. Is there anyone who oppose of this?
Naturally, there were no objections as apparently, I had already been accepted as a demon lord long before this.
I was relieved. To be honest, when I antagonized another demon lord and had a quarrel I thought I would be a goner; It was a suicidal act!
I believed that Rimuru was a guy that could get things done when needed to! If you like, I could allow you to be my follower.
Ah, I'm good. Go find someone else to follow you.
What's with that!! What's wrong with following me?!!
Begged Ramiris.
On the other hand,
Fufun! You want to get along with Rimuru because he's my friend right?
Eh!? Lies! *Chokes*! Rimuru it's a lie right?
Wahahahaha! You're so unpopular Ramiris!
What was that ¼?! Hiya!
Saying those words Ramiris performed a splendid flying kick towards Milim's face but Milim deftly avoided it.
I stared at the two, amazed.
Fun. I don't want to admit, but there's no other way. This mistress will not forget her grudge against the evil dragon over there.
But oh well, I'll admit it today. If you survive the next Great War, I'll play with you!
That's what Ruminas said.
Since I was glared at with blood-thirsty eyes, I thought this bishojo was going to be a tough one, but it seems like everything's fine.
We approve of this, don't we Old man (Dagruel)?
Umu, yes we do indeed. I have nothing to oppose of this.
TN Note: it's like "hm...", but Japanese variant.
Dino and Dagruel have also given their approval.
The issue the two talked about must be something major. It seemed that they were trying to protect me a while ago, they're good guys.
Fu, I have no interest in regards to who being a demon lord or whatever. Do as you like.
Leon said that, cold as usual.
Now then, there's two individuals left.
Thinking of this, I stared at Frey and Karion. Frey noticed my gaze and stared back at me as if she were sizing me up.
Is it fine? We're in the middle of the feast, and I'd like to make a request rather than a suggestion but is it ok?
And such words were spoken.
Ruminas' butler had set the round table I kicked back in its original position.
There was a large piece of table that broke, but I didn't look at it. If you pay attention to it you lose.
It seems compensating for this round table is going to be pricy... I'm sorry.
The demon lords sat around the round table.
During the meeting, two maids came in to prepare tea.
Frey began to talk after everyone had calmed down.
First of all, there are no objections to accept the slime(Rimuru) as a demon lord.
My proposal is another matter differing from the topic.
...no, it's not necessarily irrelevant.
After watching the battle earlier, I was convinced-As a demon lord, I am too weak.
Even when I was fighting Clayman, we're just neck to neck.
If it were an aerial battle, I would have the advantage...but this isn't an excuse for a demon lord.
I have decided to become a subordinate of Milim.
Milim is also very dangerous, not someone that should be left alone.
I may be inferior as a demon lord, however my abilities in combat are decent.
What do you think, will you accept my proposal?
Saying this, Frey alternate gazes at Milim and Guy.
It's not about her being weak...
Rather, Clayman is the impulsive type, like a tactician. To think Frey would rely on tactics made them have a weird feeling in their gut.
Well, I wonder is it because she's the scary female type that makes this even weirder.
Just before Milim was able to respond to the proposal,
"Wait a second. If that's the case, there are things I want to say as well.
I too, had lost to Mirim due to my inflated ego.
I intended to step down as the general.
What if there is an emergency, or maybe the Hero appears? Giving this loser the name of a demon lord is presumptuous isn't it?
That is why, starting from today I will be the subordinate of Milim.
Pleased to meet you, General Milim!"
At the moment, they don't even bother to check the other party's intentions.
Milim doesn't have any subordinates in the first place. That's why, there isn't anything stopping Milim getting subordinates...
This then makes me wonder, what will happen to the subordinates of the two Demon Lords?
Wait a minute, Karion! It was Claytard who was bad due to his negligence!
I was controlled by him so I know about such things!
That's probably unreasonable.
While that excuse still wasn't accepted, I thought about Milim.
The other demon lords have a surprised look on their face in response to that recklessness.
You bastards, don't feign ignorance and lecture others. A little while ago you were,
It's probably impossible for him to dominate me
I'm good at breaking free from such things.
Or something like that isn't it right?
A good imitation of Milim's voice was used to re-deliver her lines.
Guy is surprisingly skillful.
No! That, about that......
Well, it doesn't matter what happens to that muscle brain idiot over there, you're fine right Milim?
To, to have the audacity to say such a thing! When it comes to subordinates and servants, can you not speak to me so casually? Didn't we pull off the trick together as well!?
Hearing Milim's words, his head shook,
No, if you want to, we can work together. After all, wouldn't it be more fun together?
Thus, an instigation began.
As you can see, this is a place where you can't afford to be careless.
Well, Karion being Karion,
Don't worry about it, but you obliterated my country!
You too, have the obligation to take care of us!
Smoke began to rise from Milim as she tries to comprehend the difficult words.
He's more of a schemer than I though.
Milim who could no longer comprehend the meaning is now inches away from losing consciousness.
Finally,
Eeeeiii!!! Whatever! Do as you like!
The smoke that came out of her head was akin to a volcanic eruption, and she stopped thinking.
As expected of Milim
She looks clever, but she's no good at thinking.
Hahaha. All right! Then today onwards, Karion and Frey are no longer demon lords.
You should have served Milim from the beginning
Guy declares so with a laugh.
Nobody present voiced an objection. Naturally, I too, have no objection.
Thus, my Ascension as a demon lord has formally been approved.
At the same time the three demon lords were expelled, one was given eternal death, and the other two are now direct subordinates of Milim.
The Ten Great Demon Lords is currently down to The Eight Great Demon Lords.
I see, it's not the Ten Great Demon Lords anymore.
In response to my murmuring, the demon lords reacted jumpily.
Disturbing huh. For the sake of our dignity, we must think of a new name
Dagruel had brought up such an issue.
Eh? Is this such an important issue?
Fortunately, we're in the middle of the Walpurgis Banquet. All the demon lords are gathered here, so there is an abundance of wisdom floating about.
Ruminas made a serious Aizuchi.
TN Note: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aizuchi
Oyoy, it doesn't matter our name is.
Besides, the humans already named us without our permission in the first place.
Didn't the previous "Ten Great Demon Lords" took about 3 months to decide? I'm already burned out. I don't have any more energy to think~
No no. You probably didn't think even before you burned out.
I've been thinking hard up till now! That's not what it looks like.
Or rather, why did it take 3 months to think up such a name!
Or rather, what I really want to say is...demon lords seem to have a lot of free time......
What I heard, is that during those 3 months the name "Ten Great Demon Lords" had already taken root amongst the humans.
In the end, it was decided to go with that name, but the needed assent weren't obtained.
Calm down you lot. Its times like these where we need to cooperate and get over it!
These are the words of Guy, and
Eh? Eight Great......
And, he silenced his surrounding with wordless, oppressive silence.
That's right. Now, it's as Guy said! Give it your all everyone!
Ramiris restated this.
Apparently not all eight great demon lords were convinced.
And as if cooperation and coordination were meaningless,
Wahahahaha! I'm leaving it all to you guys!
I have no interest in this matter. I leave it to you.
Immediately, a few people had already started to interfere with the already fragmented cooperation between demon lords.
As expected of demon lords.
I thought it would be impossible to cooperate in the first place, and it seems like it really is.
Furthermore, when the atmosphere was about to get even more awkward,
Oh, if that's the case, then this is the specialty of my friend Rimuru!
