I deactivated the time suspension.
“…We should charge in and neutralize the effects of the gravity waves!”
“And then Miss Jegyll can…”
“I can go with you! I came this far, after all. And I intend to go until the end!”
All at once, things became very noisy again.
I would have to make them all calm down once, so they could listen to what I had to say.
While the immediate danger was gone, the root of the problem had not been solved yet. To be precise, while the world had not been destroyed, the planet was still dying.
I opened my mouth to say something, but it turned out that there was no need.
Michelle had opened her eyes.
“Silence!”
A shout.
That was all. Those who had been talking about a plan, in which their lives would be at risk, now closed their mouths and looked at Michelle with expressions of shock.
“Michelle!”
“General Michelle. Did you succeed in controlling it? But, how did you reconnect your ‘brain’?”
“No, that’s impossible! Even after regaining control of your body, it would still be impossible to stop the energy in your state!!”
“General Michelle, according to my partner, you are currently in a stable position. But are you really okay?”
Questions that were full of disbelief were being thrown around.
It was no surprise.
The problem had been solved so quickly that it was hard to believe it.
“I know that you all have a lot you want to say, but wait. I must thank my saviour first!”
With these words, the others seemed to regain their calm a little.
And then their gazes turned to Veldora and then me.
Boing.
A light blue sphere—well, more of an ellipse—creature.
And even I knew that my appearance was suspicious.
However, Michelle looked straight at me.
And then she said:
“So, it’s you that saved me and this world? You have my thanks.”
Amazingly, this Michelle person seemed to understand what had happened while time had stood still.
Perhaps she had grown mentally when her ‘brain’ was cut off from her body?
Either that, or it was an effect of the special substances birthed from the Mobius System. Apparently, Veldora had not been able to use ‘Appraisal’ due to outside disturbances. The Mobius System was so mysterious that it was no wonder Master Ciel had an interest in it.
In any case, this would make things easier.
Michelle seemed like a leader here. She had that sense of authority that allowed her to dominate the others. And it would make it easier for me to talk if someone in her position was able to understand things.
I intended to negotiate about the future in detail.
With this thought in mind, I transformed into a human as a show of politeness.
I felt more relaxed as a slime, but it was hard to look people in the eyes.
“Hello. I am Rimuru. It seems like my comrades have caused you a lot of trouble.”
