"I knew it" was my honest thoughts.
I calmly pondered in the middle of a fierce sword fight.
To begin with, why would he need a 1 month delay?
If we fought in that place that day, I didn't know what the outcome would be.
If he had sent Chloe toward me at that time, while I wouldn't lose, the fight would still be difficult.
If he used Velda's power, he should be able to handle Veldora and Velgrind while I was being toyed with by Chloe.
Moreover, Kagali, Vega and the angels could have killed Diablo and the others.
There were people who could use Unique Skill such as『Teleportation』 like Mai too, I think that the prediction wasn't wrong altogether.
Even according to Ciel-san's calculation, our chance of winning wasn't high, just around 40%.
Although, if I could kill Chloe without hesitation, our chance of winning would be over 80% and the situation would be reversed.
That's why I thought they acted carefully since they feared I would act without hesitation, but I changed my mind after I saw the angels' assembly and the explosion phenomenon this time.
Or rather, I'm convinced.
Velda, whose goal is to destroy the world, would have been more advantageous if he could do that.
Because everything would have been better for him if he were to hold down and eliminate us by making the energy of the angels go berserk.
What was the reason for why he didn't do that?
――That's, he wants to buy time――
I and Ciel agreed on the same thing.
Although he disappeared while saying plausible things at the end, what if all of that was Yuuki's acting?
All pieces seemed to fit together.
『Ku, kukuku, ahahahahahahaha! This Is really unexpected.
I didn't expect it, really....... You'd be the most dangerous of all.
Bravo, Rimuru-san.
I really did want to end the world with my own hands.
But, unfortunately.......
I really can't imagine myself winning against you. Not to mention, even that Demon over there――
――Your power is just too insane. That chills I got when we first met was right on the money.
I should have ended you back then.
Did I lose my marbles somewhere? Well, it doesn't matter at all now.
No, in fact, if you can stop me, that'd just be the will of the world.
I guess, will decide the rest, heh.
Goodbye, Rimuru-san
I kinda liked you a bit too.
――Honestly, we could've been friends, you know......』
I ended up honestly trusting those words.
He changed into Velda at the end with those words and I thought that Yuuki had told me his true intention.
However, I was wrong.
