RImuru's Elegant Escape Play

Chapter 24 End

Afterward.

The students were put on the airship that Diablo and Souei came in and sent off to the Kingdom of Ingracia.

While I was going to miss it, this was the end of the survival training.

Laplace stayed on the island and talked with the monsters

about the plans for building Wonderland.

This was in order to listen to their requests and to insure habitat segregation.

In the future, this island would have a secret base for mysterious airships and an amusement park from hell for the training of the students.

We were also considering allowing civilians inside while accompanied by guards.

And—

Within the airship, I decided to listen to what Diablo and Souei had been doing up until now.

"This must be some kind of mistake!"

Screamed Jujilas as Souei escorted him. He was tied to what looked like a dirty log.

But on closer inspection, it wasn't a log, but a person who had been turned into a tree.

"What's this?"

"Ah! This guy had crawled into the NNU Magic and Science Investigation Academy, and so I punished him. As you commanded, I refrained from taking his life."

Diablo answered proudly.

While it was true that he had not killed him, what did he intend to do now...?

"Hehehe. Once the questioning is finished, I intend to put him in the treant labyrinth town."

"Uh, I don't know if Treyni would like that?"

"Do you think so? Then what if I give him to you as a present, Lord Rimuru?"

"I don't want him! This isn't just a questionable hobby, you know? They will question my sanity!"

"That is true. I am very sorry. Shall I burn him now?"

"Hmm. Maybe..."

The conversation was like some kind of comedy sketch. Just then, the log–I mean, Godama, began to cry.

I felt a little sorry for him.

But upon further questioning, it turned out that he was causing the most mischief in regards to my plans for the school... I could not forgive him for that.

I had no reason to forgive him.

"Oh, well. After making him an example for other fools and enduring one hundred years of tree life, he can be released. He may even be able to start life again if his brain is fine. In the end, it is important to repent."

"That's wonderful, Lord Rimuru. You are always overflowing with mercy!"

Oh, really?

I felt like I was being rather harsh.

He was feeling a lot of pain but couldn't die. He couldn't faint or even go mad. Perhaps it would be better to just die.

However, he would be much more mentally stronger if he came out of this intact after a hundred years.

Depending on his attitude at that time, I may just hire him at Tempest.

It was not particularly pleasant, but it would work as an experiment.

And there was one other person.

Jujilas, who had been crying for quite some time now...

His heart certainly would not be able to survive turning into a tree...
