*083. Eight-star demon lords
The red haired demon lord stood up right after I devoured Clayman.
「Excellent, then from today onwards you will be acknowledged and known as a demon lord. Is there anyone who oppose of this? 」
Naturally, there were no objections as apparently, I had already been accepted as a demon lord long before this.
I was relieved. To be honest, when I antagonized another demon lord and had a quarrel I thought I would be a goner; It was a suicidal act!「I believed that Rimuru was a guy that could get things done when needed to! If you like, I could allow you to be my follower. 」
「Ah, I'm good. Go find someone else to follow you.」
「What's with that!! What's wrong with following me?!!」Begged Ramiris.
On the other hand,「Fufun! You want to get along with Rimuru because he's my friend right? 」
「Eh!? Lies! *Chokes*! Rimuru it's a lie right? 」
「Wahahahaha! You're so unpopular Ramiris! 」
「What was that ー?! Hiya! 」Saying those words Ramiris performed a splendid flying kick towards Milim's face but Milim deftly avoided it.
I stared at the two, amazed.「Fun. I don't want to admit, but there's no other way. This mistress will not forget her grudge against the evil dragon over there.
But oh well, I'll admit it today. If you survive the next Great War, I'll play with you! 」That's what Ruminas said.
Since I was glared at with blood-thirsty eyes, I thought this bishojo was going to be a tough one, but it seems like everything's fine.「We approve of this, don't we Old man (Dagruel)? 」
「Umu, yes we do indeed. I have nothing to oppose of this.」TN Note: it's like "hm...", but Japanese variant.
Dino and Dagruel have also given their approval.
The issue the two talked about must be something major. It seemed that they were trying to protect me a while ago, they're good guys.「Fu, I have no interest in regards to who being a demon lord or whatever. Do as you like. 」
Leon said that, cold as usual.
Now then, there's two individuals left.
Thinking of this, I stared at Frey and Karion. Frey noticed my gaze and stared back at me as if she were sizing me up.「Is it fine? We're in the middle of the feast, and I'd like to make a request rather than a suggestion but is it ok? 」
And such words were spoken.
Ruminas' butler had set the round table I kicked back in its original position.
There was a large piece of table that broke, but I didn't look at it. If you pay attention to it you lose.
It seems compensating for this round table is going to be pricy... I'm sorry.
The demon lords sat around the round table.
During the meeting, two maids came in to prepare tea.
Frey began to talk after everyone had calmed down.「First of all, there are no objections to accept the slime(Rimuru) as a demon lord.
My proposal is another matter differing from the topic.
...no, it's not necessarily irrelevant.
After watching the battle earlier, I was convinced-As a demon lord, I am too weak.
Even when I was fighting Clayman, we're just neck to neck.
If it were an aerial battle, I would have the advantage...but this isn't an excuse for a demon lord.
I have decided to become a subordinate of Milim.
Milim is also very dangerous, not someone that should be left alone.
I may be inferior as a demon lord, however my abilities in combat are decent.
What do you think, will you accept my proposal? 」
