RImuru's Elegant Escape Play

Chapter 1

Morning for Diablo started quite early.

Let's rephrase that.

As Diablo doesn't require sleep, he gets work done during the night. In order to work together with his respected master Rimuru in the morning, he finishes up all his miscellaneous work when he is free.

When he visited Rimuru's room in the morning, like always, the everyday event of Shuna and Shion fighting over who gets to wake up Rimuru was taking place.

"Excuse me Shion, but you woke him up yesterday, didn't you? It's my turn today, no?"

"Forgive me for saying this, Shuna-sama. This isn't something to be done in turns, but my duty as his secretary. Such a thing, even if it's Shuna-sama saying so, I cannot abide by it!"

Splendidly ignoring all of this, Diablo entered the room.

(Oh dear. It's admiring how they can keep this up without getting tired every single morning. With such noise, there's no way that Rimuru-sama hasn't noticed yet......)

He once tried to advise the girls to be careful but,
"Forget it. That's basically walking naked into a minefield, you know? For the irresolute, it's better to just 'let the sleeping dogs lie'."

Thus, since Rimuru himself had instructed so, Diablo decided to let the girls be.

That is, without a doubt, the correct choice.

That is because it was like a daily morning custom and even

Milim or Ramiris participated from time to time.

Or rather, there were also cases where Milim or Ramiris even slipped into his futon.

The girls' commotion further increased when they witnessed such scenarios and when on top of that, should Milim also join in on the commotion, there's no space for Diablo.

(Kufufufufu. As expected of Rimuru-sama, you have read this far ahead, haven't you?)

While admiring Rimuru's accuracy of predicting what's forthcoming, he was adhering to the saying of 'letting sleeping dogs lie'.

If he lets every single thing bother him he will only get tired, so it is best to not care, is what Diablo understood.

However, this was something possible of only Diablo.

For example, if it was Benimaru, the girls would demand him to be the judge.

"Onii-sama, please tell Shion off!"

"Eh, no wait...... It doesn't really matter who does that......"

"Benimaru-sama. This is a definitely a secretary's duty. One's job is important to them–even Benimaru-sama is willing to understand that, right?"

"Ah, that, you know, one's job is important but――"

"Onii-sama!?"

"Benimaru-sama!!"

Thus, in that way, being blamed by those two, there would also be times when he was the one being treated like the bad guy.

It's exactly because Diablo always has this aura of rejecting and overwhelming others that the girls have a hard time talking to him.

Therefore, everyday, Diablo polished his ability to ignore others and was able to freely exhibit it.

"Rimuru-sama, it is Diablo. Morning preparations have been completed, so I've come to call for your presence."

Calling out to him like that, Diablo would enter Rimuru's room.

However, the situation was different from normal this time.
