After pondering for a while, Diablo set out without hesitation.
He hurried towards someone who certainly knew about Rimuru’s whereabouts.
And the place Diablo arrived at was the Information Control Room-in other words, Souei’s room.
As Diablo knocked, Souka answered the door and asked what business he had.
“Kufufufu. I have something to request of Souei-dono. I want you to convey the message.”
“Souei-sama is currently busy. Please come again later.”
Souka went and rejected his request straight out.
However, Diablo wouldn’t give up just like that.
“Now, now, don’t say that. Or what is it, you plan on getting rid of me by force?”
Diablo enforced overwhelming intimidation while still having a smile on his face.
Souka tried to endure it even while biting into her lips and making a grim face but-
“Stop it, Diablo. If you want to come in, just come in.”
As a reposing voice came from inside, the tense air was also lifted.
“Yes, then I shall intrude.”
And like that, as if that was the natural procedure of things, Diablo casually went in and sat down on a sofa with an air of composure.
As Diablo relaxed, a demon chevalier appeared out of nowhere and began serving on the table.
Seeing all these with a side glance, Souei coldly asked,
“What do you want?”
Diablo did not answer immediately-he first took a sip of the black tea the demon chevalier prepared.
And then, he surveyed the room.
(Hmm. Now then, judging from his subordinate’s (Souka’s) actions, it seemed like he was having some sort of a conversation with Rimuru-sama just now but-)
Souei is tight-lipped.
There was no way Diablo would get an answer if he asked normally. However, he tried going head on this time on purpose.
Diablo decided on that after thinking a bit.
“Kufufufu. It’s simple. Where is Rimuru-sama at the moment?”
“What are you talking about? Shuna and Shion are with him.”
“Surely you jest. If it’s you-you probably know where the real Rimuru-sama is, don’t you?”
As Diablo went silent after saying that, Souei also looked at Diablo head on and went silent.
And at that moment, both of their calculations mixed.
As for Diablo, he planned on following around Souei wherever he went.
As long as Souei doesn’t confess, he just had to follow Souei around.
And Souei had accurately read Diablo’s thoughts and instantly came to the conclusion that that would prove to be an obstacle to what he was going to do now. However, it would be difficult to say the least to get rid of Diablo and he isn’t someone Souei can deceive easily either.
“I don’t think I need to say this out loud but, you do understand that I won’t leave you until you answer me, right?”
“Thought so. You won’t believe me if I said I didn’t know, would you?”
