Chapter 186 - First Move

First Move

Soon after Rimuru went to rescue Veldora, the ones who had been left behind immediately shifted into an emergency reorganization.

They entered a state of high alert under Benimaru’s command so that any situation that might arise could be swiftly dealt with.

The reorganization was swiftly completed without any incident immediately after the Empire Invasion. However, it excluded the people who received the effect of evolution.

Benimaru confirmed that the reorganization was finished, with Souei and Shion, the 3 of them had made the arrangements.

Gabil returned to the cave due to the evolution, Gerudo went to the meeting in the Empire Military Headquarters in order to organize it.

The defense of Tempest in Rimuru’s absence was left to the ones left behind.

It was natural that Benimaru and Shion acted as usual as they had not been affected by the evolution.

They had some qualms believing that the grand “Dragon kind” Veldora had fallen into enemy hands, but they didn’t need to worry about it since their master had already left to deal with the situation.

Because their master, the Demon Lord Rimuru, is the strongest of the Demon Lords who possessed both strength and fearsome insight to an abnormal degree.

During Rimuru’s absence, they believed that the probability of some trouble occurring would be very high.

「Benimaru…… Is it all right? You know, that one. How’s your work as the chief?」

「Wa! What are you saying, Shion! In this emergency state, I’m too preoccupied to even think of that!?」

To the rather blunt question of Shion, who pried too much into other people’s business, Benimaru tried to dodge the question while trembling.

However, he was unsuccessful and the place was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

The reason for this was his marriage (soul binding) with Momiji, which had been approved in the time of the victory celebration party. It was celebrated then, but there were various traditions that had not ended yet.

He was also concerned about this, but Benimaru thought that he should restrain himself until it soon reached such circumstances.

Above all, the situation immediately progressed to an emergency state after Guy’s attack and Veldora’s rampage. He had no time to think about such matters now.

Now at last, they could have a relatively short amount of calm.

Although, the demons (Diablo’s group) were summoned with a transfer not long ago and just made a sortie, this didn’t change the fact that he couldn’t let his guard down in the event of something happening later.

The words said by Benimaru were true but,

「No, that’s an important task.

Benimaru, as it’s currently unknown what will happens hereafter, I think that you should do the thing you could do ahead of time.」

Souei who heard the conversation urges Benimaru.

After all, in this situation he would give a reason somehow or another to obviously postpone the problem. For Souei who has long been acquainted with him, he clearly understood his close friends thoughts.

「However, you…… Although Rimuru-sama went to the front line, only I’m in such――」

Like giving up, Benimaru argues vehemently,
