01x16 - Demon Lord Milim att*cks

[bunniefuu]

An alliance between
Jura Tempest Federation

and the Armed Nation Dwargon
has been formed.

A strong shield of defenses
is now built for this nation of monsters.

TWO DAYS LATER

I'm here, Rimuru!

What do you want now?

I'd like to give you guys a present.

A present?

Isn't that Vesta?

He's so capable, it'll be a shame
to let him fool around all the time.

However, I will not allow him
to serve me anymore.

Use him as you like.

My King!

This would mean that
Vesta's knowledge will be given to us!

And you're saying this as someone
who has left the kingdom?

That is why our alliance exists.

Make this land that you have chosen

into a pioneer of new
and unprecedented technologies!

Vesta.

Yes!

Feel free to conduct your researches here
in any way you wish.

Yes!

My King!

This time for sure,

I will not betray your expectations!

Mr. Rimuru.

Mr. Kaijin.

I'm very sorry.

If you could forgive me,

would you kindly let me work here?

I'd be more than happy
to let a skilled researcher join us.

Mr. Rimuru, I'll take responsibility
if anything happens.

Please trust me,

and forgive him.

Mr. Kaijin...

If Kaijin is fine with it,
I have no complaints!

Vesta, I'll be in your care!

Yes!

I will humbly work under you!

Well then, I bid farewell!

All right.

What are you guys doing here?

I, Gabiru, arrived here swiftly

hoping that I may be of service
to Lord Rimuru!

You're so cool, Lord Gabiru!

Of course, he is!

Well then, I'll start slicing him.

No!

We're hoping that you could
allow us to be your followers!

I'm sure that we can be of some use.

I implore you!

-I implore you!
-I implore you!

It's as Lord Gabiru says.

My brother is reflecting on his actions.

I would like you to give him a chance
to atone for his sins.

Even the captain of the guards is here?

Unlike my brother,

-I have not been disowned by my father.
-What?

My father, Abiru, has sent me here
in hopes that I can gain more experience.

Aren't you here as my subordinate?

Wrong.

I see.

-I do respect my brother,
-This and that happened,

-but now, I look up to Souei...
-and Vesta, Gabiru,

-You're cheeky as ever.
-and the others joined us.

Since they became our allies,

I gave names to Gabiru's sister
and her companions.

Well then, in order.

Souka, Touka, Saika, Nansou, Hokusou!

Thank you very much.

Gabiru.

Don't look so envious!

You already have a great name
called "Gabiru," right?

Wait, did that just...

Gabiru is shining.

Don't tell me that names
can be overwritten?

Thank you very much!

I will serve you for eternity!

Since I had no choice,

I gave names
to all of Gabiru's subordinates,

and Gabiru, together with the rest,
evolved into Dragonewts.

She's going to follow me?

-Can I use her however I like?
-Yes.

You can train them as you like, Souei.

As Lord Rimuru wishes.

We will work as hard as we can!

SAIKA, SOUKA, NANSOU, HOKUSOU

I left Souka and the others to Souei,

and gave Gabiru and the guys some work.

In any case...

When a lizardman evolves,
some of them look just like humans.

Gabiru and the others are tasked

to grow the valuable Hipokte grass
in Veldora's cave.

The cave is moist,

and has the perfect condition
for growing the grasses.

-Gabiru!
-Yes?

How is the cultivating progress going?

A truly great question!

It is going perfectly well.

Look at the fruits of my labor!

Let's see.

Isn't this just a weed?

What?

Do pardon me!

It seems that Gabiru
has been too hasty for results!

It's even harder to grow weeds here
in this cave with high Magicule density!

In addition, a research room for Vesta
has been built in this cave.

Vesta is currently working to create
health potions using Hipokte grass.

If we can mass produce similar
health potions that I made in my body,

it'll be useful in so many ways.

Many things happened,

but it seems like we can finally
all settle down in peace here.

Interesting!

This is interesting!

I'd like to investigate this toy myself!

However, Milim,

we have a nonaggression pact
with the Jura Forest.

Nonaggression pact?

Such a thing can be abolished already
since Veldora disappeared!

I see. You're right.

All right, it's decided then!

But it's not allowed
to interfere with each other!

Got it?

Of course.

That's a promise!

The pact is now effective!

And with that, I'll be off to investigate!

Don't get in my way,
Clayman, Carrion, and Frey!

What's with this magical power?

Something with an enormous magical power
is heading here at insane speed!

Pleased to meet you!

I am but a lone Dragonoid,

also known as the Destroyer,

the Demon Lord Milim Nava!

A Demon Lord?

You seem like the strongest in this town,

so I came here to meet you!

This aura is overwhelming,
just like Veldora's.

There's no doubt
that she's a real Demon Lord.

Nice to meet you.

I'm the master of this town, Rimuru.

I'm impressed you realized
that I'm the most powerful here,

although I'm a slime.

This is easy-peasy to me!

This eye of mine, the Milim Eye,

is able to estimate
the amount of Magicules in a body!

Milim Eye?

Well, just understand that
there's no use acting weak in front of me!

So it's something similar
to my skill, Appraisal.

And I don't need Appraisal
to tell me that...

she's flat.

I can't win.

Seems like nothing will be effective
against that.

She's a true genius.

By the way, is this your true form?

Did you transform into that
silver-haired person that subdued Gelmud?

So, you are aware of everything.

Are you referring to this form?

So it really is you, after all!

So, you defeated the Orc Lord, right?

Well, I did win against it.

So, what's your purpose here?

Don't tell me you're here
to avenge Gelmud?

What? My purpose?

I'm just here to say hello.

Just that?

Prepare yourself!

Here, My Lord!

Wait, Ranga!

I can't! Please forgive me!

What?

Did you want to play with me?

I told you to wait!

Even if you're a Demon Lord,

there is no way you can break free
from these threads!

Burn to ashes!

I hope that at least gave her some burns.

This is awesome!

An att*ck of this power,

no Demon Lord would have gone
unscathed from that,

except for me!

However, that will not work on me!

My Lord!

Are you all right, Shion?

Here you go, a health potion.

Lord Rimuru.

Lord Rimuru, please escape!

Leave this place to us.

You guys too.

Drink that and get some rest.

Leave the rest to me.

What's wrong?

You haven't had enough fun?

Very well.

I'll play with you more!

Lord Rimuru!

It'll be the end if we just give up,

so I'll just do whatever I can.

Don't expect too much!

Do you plan to face me?

If you are confident,

how about taking one
of my att*cks head-on?

Very well!

This sounds interesting!

However, if that att*ck
does not work on me,

you'll promise to be my subordinate.

I got it.

Answer.

Rounded off to the nearest
measurable degree,

the target's Magicule powers
exceed yours by ten times.

She's not even serious,

and she's already ten times stronger
than me.

If that's the case,

there is only one thing to do.

Eat this!

This is...

This is such a delicious thing!

-I've never eaten it in my life!
-All right!

How about it, Demon Lord Milim?

If you admit your loss here,

I'd be glad to offer you this as well.

This is honey harvested
from the bees in the forest.

I want it!

But how can I admit my loss?

It's so delicious!

Oh, dear, I don't really have
much of this left!

Wait. I have a suggestion!

It's a draw!

We'll make it a draw this time.
How about it?

I will overlook
the entire matter this time!

Of course, it won't end with just that!

I can also swear that
I will never lay a finger on your town!

I won.

She may have overwhelming power,

but she's just a kid
befitting of her appearance.

Very well. I shall accept your conditions.

So, we'll have a draw this time.

And with that,
we averted an unprecedented calamity.

Tasty!

It's so tasty!

That's good to hear.

If she would just leave
before things get complicated...

Hey.

Why haven't you ever thought about
becoming a Demon Lord?

Why should I be something
that requires so much work?

But it's a Demon Lord!

It's cool, right?

Isn't it everyone's dream to become one?

No.

-What?
-What?

Do you get anything good
when you become a Demon Lord?

You'll get strong people challenging you!

It's heaps of fun!

I've already had my fair share of that,
and I'm not interested anyway.

What?

Then how do you enjoy your life?

There are a lot of things!

There are so much things to do,
it's so troublesome!

Is there any joy in being a Demon Lord
other than fighting?

Not really.

You get to order the Magic-borns
and humans around, you know?

You're just doing that
out of boredom, right?

She must have been really bored.

Well then, I must go.

Take care on your way back--

Wait!

I know you're doing something more fun
than being a Demon Lord!

That's unfair!

That's so unfair!

I'm angry!

Even if you tell me you're angry...

Let me in on this,
and let me be part of it!

-Bring me to the village!
-Are you a spoiled brat or something?

All right, I get it.

However, I have a condition.

From now on,
you have to call me Mr. Rimuru.

Damn you!
Why would I address you so formally?

You should be the one addressing me
as Lord Milim!

Then, how about this?

I'll call you Milim,
and you can call me Rimuru.

How's that?

I get it.

But you're the only exception!

Only the other Demon Lords
are allowed to call me Milim!

Sure. Thanks for that.

So, we are friends from today onwards.

I'll be bringing you around the village,

so don't go on a rampage
without my permission.

Promise me that, Milim!

Of course!

That's a promise, Rimuru!

As I expected from Lord Rimuru.

He's tamed Lord Milim so well.

This is a given for Lord Rimuru!

I should inform Rigurd about this first.

Who is this shorty?

Who are you calling a shorty?

Do you want to get k*lled?

I just told her not to go on a rampage.

Listen up!

I'm in an extremely good mood right now,

and that's why
I'll forgive you with just this!

There will be no more chances next time!

I saw my father waving at me
across the Styx river.

Your dad is still alive, isn't he?

By the way, who is this short...

Oh, who might this young lady be?

She is Milim.

Seems like she is a Demon Lord.

A Demon Lord?

I truly understand how you feel right now.

Hey, Milim.

You can't just punch someone immediately
because you're upset!

It's his fault for upsetting me!

Anyway, a punch like that
is just a way for me to say hello.

Throwing punches around
is not a way to introduce yourself.

I'm banning it.

Allow me to introduce our new comrade.

She'll be our guest of some sort,

so treat her politely.

I am Milim Nava!

What? Is she the Demon Lord Milim?

It's the first time I've ever seen her!

As expected of Lord Rimuru!

To think that he'd be on good terms
with that tyrant.

With that, Tempest will be at peace!

So Milim is rather famous.

Everyone's surprisingly welcoming of her.

I will be living here from today onwards.

-I'll be in your care!
-What?

Live? What are you talking about?

Exactly what I mean!

I've decided to live here!

Well, since she said this herself,

treat her as an equal.

She's rather popular.

If there's anything,
feel free to rely on me!

A Demon Lord as a friend?

Oh, right.

It's weird that we're friends.

Oh, did you hear me?

Well, we're not just friends.

We're best friends!

Best friends?

We're not?

We are best friends!

Everyone, we're best friends!

-Best friends!
-Best friends!

Aren't we?

You sure have a way
with surprising others.

With that,

the Demon Lord Milim, a being
more dangerous than any powder keg,

joined us as an ally
of the Jura Tempest Federation.

-Best friends!
-Best friends!

What's this?

It's so comfortable!

I had Myrd of the three dwarf brothers
make this for me.

It's my beloved hot springs
with a free-flowing water source!

It's so awesome! I can swim in this!

You must not swim in a bath!

You shouldn't do it.

Well then, I casually joined in,

but I should take my leave soon.

Now I'm craving coffee milk.

I can get milk here,

but is it possible to make coffee here?

Now that I think about it,
we did create dandelions here.

Lord Rimuru.

Oh, what was it again?

We were talking about Lord Milim.

I would have never expected
a Demon Lord to visit us.

But she did at least promise not to cause
a ruckus without permission.

Yes, but we should be more concerned
about what the other Demon Lords will do.

-Yes.
-Yes.

What do you mean?

There are a few Demon Lords,

and they serve to
keep each other in check.

This time,

Lord Milim has declared
that she is your ally,

so it means that this town
will be under Lord Milim's protection.

Usually, it would be a great thing, but...

Lord Rimuru,
you are the chancellor of the town,

essentially meaning that the Jura Forest
is now allied with Lord Milim,

or so the other Demon Lords
are inclined to believe.

This means that Lord Milim's influence
has increased considerably,

and thus upsetting the power balance
between the Demon Lords.

I see.

However, in actual fact, there's no way
we could have stopped Lord Milim.

Her powers are on
a completely different level.

If Lord Rimuru was not present,

we would not be alive right now.

Exactly.

We would have been better off dealing
with other Demon Lords.

And so, we'll leave all matters
regarding Lord Milim

to her best friend, Lord Rimuru!

-No objections.
-No objections.

You're just dumping it all on me?

Lord Milim is one of the strongest
and oldest Demon Lords,

and is also known to be someone
that one should never fight against.

For this matter,

we have no choice
but to leave it to you, Lord Rimuru.

Guess I have no choice, then.

That's what I thought.

However, we still didn't know

that the trouble Milim stirred up is
just beginning to blow out of proportion.

This is fun!

I told you that you must not play
in the bath!

Take that!

Now you've done it!

-Take that!
-Stop it already!
