COTE x Reincarnated As A Slime (On Hold)

Chapter 26

A/N

OE: Hi guys, before starting, I have something to say. There first is that I will be rewriting the parts after the festival, and the second will be that there will be no other Classroom of the Elite students.

After many weeks of thinking, this was what I came up with. The first reason is due to you know, typical cote fan stuff such as waifu wars. Let's be real. It's impossible to please all of you. There are many haters of different female cote characters like Kei and Horikita. The only way to cause the least conflict in this is to remove all Cote characters except Ayanokouji. There will be mentions, and probably flashbacks of them, but they won't appear. 

The second reason for why there won't be any other cote characters is because its gonna destroy the story. I was already aware of this since the beginning, but decided to test it out anyways, and the former chapter 26, 27 and 28 is proof of that. I already unpublish those chapters.

The third is because I have no idea on how to progress in the story with them around. I tested many times, and tried to imagine the different scenarios that could happen, but all of it doesn't fit, so my decision to rewrite.

I'm going to continue following the Tensura LN route as closely as I can without changing much since some of the readers probably haven't read the LN of the latter.

Anyways, enough of the explanations, you guys are probably going to get bored or skip this anyways.

Hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

3rd POV

'Phew! Seriously!' The young man sighed.

"You seem frustrated. What's the issue?" asked the man with the asymmetric mask. It was Laplace, the majin of the Moderate Clown Troupe.

He was a trusted companion of this young man, Yuuki Kagurazaka.

"I suppose it's an issue. Since I was invited, I went along to pay a visit. And as it turns out, our opponent is so incredibly strong that I've lost confidence in myself. I think it's time to re-examine our plan."

"Did you say we need to re-examine our plan?" Ex-Demon Lord Kazalim, in disguise as a secretary, Kagali, questioned back. To that, Yuuki responded with another sigh.

"Yes. It's about that slime. It turns out that it's best that we avoid antagonizing him."

"If that's the case, shouldn't you just keep him close? I planned to explore the ruins as well, so isn't it for the best that we maintain friendly terms anyway?"

"No, we will still go according to our plan. It's just going to be harder, that's all."

"Why? Surely there won't be any conflict if we tread carefully."

Laplace was no fool. Even though he bore a grudge after his companion Clayman was killed, he wasn't going to go against his boss, Yuuki's commands, and pick a fight with Rimuru.

It wasn't just Laplace's sentiment.

Footman, Teare, and even the chairman of the Clown Troupe, Kagali, thought the same. Even they knew the danger of acting on impulse.

The truth of this world was that it was the survival of the fittest.

At this point, these experiences had taught Laplace and the others that if they didn't have a one hundred percent chance of winning, forcing their plan would only result in failure.

Far from wreaking vengeance on Demon Lord Leon, Clayman was now dead. Kazalim already put so much effort into resurrecting with the identity of Kagali, but now, it seemed like they were back at square one.
