The World's Ego

Arrival of the Strongest

Rimuru POV

As soon as the meeting resumed, Guy turned to Dino, most likely to talk about the issue with the Primordials.

"Then, Dino. Let me hear your excuse."

"Er, what excuse?" Dino responded naturally

"Don't **** with me! Why didn't you stop this girl from naming those three?!" Guy yelled in irritation

Huh? Was it just me, or I couldn't hear one of his words?

<Answer. I filtered the word out as I deemed it unnecessary for Master to know.>

Okay... You're not gaslighting me again, are you?

<Negative.>

I see...

"Listen, what the hell do you think I sent you here for?" Guy continued

"Um, sightseeing?"

Guy gritted his teeth, "Wrong! For reconnaissance, reconnaissance!"

Wow, he's actually angry... I mean, I already figured that Dino was probably his spy, but I guess he wasn't actually doing his work, so Guy being angry is a given.

"And you!" Guy pointed to me, "Don't make that innocent expression as if you had nothing to do with this!"

"Gahahaha! Don't fret over little things, Guy. This isn't the first time she's granted names on a willy-nilly." Veldora grinned as he backed me up

But... Huh? Is it just me, or is there some kind of weird tension between them?

"Shut up! Don't interrupt when the adults are in the middle of a conversation!" Luminas shouted

This made Veldora flinch, "O-Okay."

I decided to cut in since Veldora became meek again due to Luminas's outburst, "But the reason Dino came here is to keep an eye on me, right? Well, I can set that aside since I am already aware, but he definitely did not stop me from naming the three Demonesses. But at the same time, shouldn't you, who sent him here, be supervising him at least, Guy?"

"That's right, Guy." Dino said, agreeing to my words, "Basically, I can't do surveillance stuff for the life of me. It's frankly surprising that you thought of making me work."

Guy was now frustrated, "You little..."

"First and foremost, I didn't have time to stop her. When I saw Rimuru with the Primordials, I was totally baffled, speechless. After all, there's three of 'em, y'know? I accepted the matter with Diablo because he's always been an oddball, but the idea that someone like Testarossa, along with those other two, would willingly serve another person was something I couldn't even begin to imagine!" Dino complained

Guy thought about his words with a hum of agreement, "I guess so."

... Did Dino just shirk responsibility and put the problem on me again...? I... I should just give up arguing, huh? The shock of having so many Primordials here is already too much for me.

Upon seeing Guy's gaze on me, I gave in, "I admit, I should have checked. I trusted Diablo wholeheartedly and didn't doubt who he brought over. So I will admit my mistake on that."

"I'm really glad that you ****ing understand, Rimuru!" Guy spat on

He then went on to scold me and explain in more detail about the delicate balance of power, (that I have singlehandedly destroyed by simply existing), that I had collapsed with my own actions. The changes in the current state of world affairs were also unclear.
