Rimuru's Restart [Draft]

Chapter 62: Human-monster summit First Half

As I have requested, Rigurd and the ministers delivered the invitation letters from various personalities from different countries. From Dwargon, King Gazel Dwargo. From the New joint Demon Lord Domain the collective field of Frey, Carrion, and their representative Milim. From the Farmenas Kingdom, The Hero King Youm along with Myulan, Their group, his ministers which consist of former Archbishop Rayhem and the former Falmus kingdom's Grand Court magician Razen. Even being a vassal state, I gave full freedom to Youm and his citizens. Let's hope he'll be able to lead his country to prosperity.

One by one, our invited royal guests arrived with their luxurious carriage. New guests have arrived again coming from Euzarania. It was Alvis, Suphia, and Phobio the Three Beastketeers.

The nobilities coming from the Western human countries have been roaming around the City for now as well. We already destroyed their inner politics secretly, the current leader of the Western human countries is me, though they don't know that. A new council formed by my trusted human associates is the chief committee now. It was former Blumund's investigation officer Fuze, The Shinning Hero Masayuki, supervised by one of Black Number's leaders Testarossa. They are using my good relationship with Shizu-san to not put them in sudden uproars. So basically their congresswoman was Shizu-san backed by the Western Saints church led by Luminous and its garrison led by Hinata. Their stupid act has been finally healing gradually. Using my Demon Lord status to make them afraid, whilst lightening it using Shizu-san's reputation as a Hero to make a perfect balance.

Another important set of guests has arrived. Ellen whose waiting on a seat beside me finally noticed their approaching presence.

Ellen's father, Archduke Elalude. But he is not the main bigshot that came into the scene. The bigshot was the woman beside him, Elmnesia.

A rowdy noise of earthquake has been felt. And as I look outside, it was Benimaru's proud number 1 spouse Momiji leading some of the Kurenai and the Tengus. Rather, it's not only the Tengus. Along with her, a group of different species marched down from all over the Jura forest to seek my protection. Momiji is successful.

[The reported number of individuals scouted by Momiji, is at least a million.]

At least a million, yes?

Taking them in is costly but I am settled on protecting who seeks my protection. Therefore, I would take all of them in. Even the highest races of Jura Forest are marching down along her. It's gonna be a bother naming them, thankfully with Ciel, Auto naming is possible.

"Dear Benimaru! I have returned fulfilled with the task Lord Rimuru gave me."

Momiji proudly claimed as she lead the marching on Tempest's main road. Momiji is proud and waiting for Benimaru's affection, however, Benimaru on the other hand is sweating buckets. Beside him was Hakurou with an unsheathed blade. I'll leave that personal matter to the young people. If Benimaru was intruded on by Hakurou or not, it's not my business anymore.

"Y-yeah, G-good job" 

Benimaru stuttered.

Now then, leaving the matter of Benimaru and Momiji behind, another group of elite people arrived with their mounted horses. It was the other Crusaders who will challenge the Labyrinth as a beta test. We need beta-testers while the Knights wanted to hone their capabilities, both side benefits on this idea, therefore, there is no reason to not implement it. I can't even call it a punishment. As the majestic knights appeared our human visitors trusted as more just seeing the cooperation we have with the crusaders. As expected of the knights, the trust they build up with the humans over the years is impeccable. Since; Hinata, Arnauld, Litus, and Gelda stayed in Tempest the one leading the Crusaders in the marching was Leonard and Fritz. It was just a simple movement of cavalry yet the humans' fervor went uproar.
