Rimuru's Restart [Draft]

Chapter 67: Preliminary round! The Orcs Honor

Thus, after the humans and monsters interacting with each other for 5 days in the festival...

Their perplexity gradually diminish until they completely trusted the Monster Kingdom.

Of course, some noblemen from some parts of countries still hold some kind of hostility and aim to drive rebellion if time allows it. But for now, the Monster Kingdom Tempest finally can lay low and relax as we gained the trust of almost all humans living in Western Countries.

I was abrasive enough to take care of the humans' lives— and my representative in the human nation. It was really convenient to have her around. The Hero of Flames. Shizue Izawa.

That's what happened in the past 5 days. The Executives fulfilled their role respectively. And now, we are preparing the stage for our fighters as they battled to see the most prominent executive. It goes without saying I have prepared a different preparation than the other timeline. The preliminary rounds are still a battle royal, but this time— the scope and range of the fighters are larger.

The stage they will be playing at is on another dimension. A full recreation of the Great Jura Forest. I can already heed researchers and engineers throughout the globe throwing an intense press con after this tournament.

knock knock. Somebody knocks on my door, "Come in." I said in response.

To my surprise, the one who entered was Masayuki.

"Good day, Rimuru-san." He said with a croaky voice.

What could've been wrong?

"What's wrong?"

To my question, I felt that he was lounged on answering at first. But after some time he decided to explain things to me in detail.

"...If I had to be frank. It's doomsday..."

"Haa? what are talking about? that reminds me are you participating in the tourney? If that's the case. We could throw a cheerleading squad for-"

He cut my sentence short, slammed my table, and while shaking he stated that.

"This tournament is exactly what I am afraid of. I witness a lot of guys on a Demon lord level. Just thinking about it gives me chills." 

He sobs sorrowfully.

I pat his back and console him that. "Don't worry. Even I, find it hard that those guys wanted to serve me. Let's just drink it sometimes."

But my consolation has little effect on Masayuki.

"Every people is rooting for me to participate and win the tournament. I reckoned, I almost give in. And almost haughtily accepted it. But even though I refuse—they are saying that the Shining Masayuki is giving a path for other contestants' victory."

Ehhh... That's right you are in that troupe, no?

Masayuki is definitely suffering to success.

Unique Skill: Chosen One. What a terrifying ability.

"So? what does Masayuki want by coming here?"

"I just wanted to remind you that the opening for the Festival is almost completed. Separate seats to the VIPs consisting of King Gazel Dwargo and such personalities had been prioritized."

"That's good. These VIPs are like Sarion's Elmnesia and her crew, Youm and his crew, King Gazel and his crew, and...."

The final VIP and the one who controls the current most powerful non-government organization in the western countries. The one who is escorting him was Hinata.
