Chapter 50 (1/2)

Frontier Garrison

Theday,

Started with great tribulations

First thing in theI woke Milim up

Her expression grue to look presentable

The new clothing she as the one she had requested yesterday, and it came out pretty well

The Gothic Dress was probably difficult to move in, hence the reason for her request

「Why does a de!」

She was gruhtily, but her mood improved by breakfast

Children really are simple

While she was eating, I was busy thinking

I don’t particularly o to a hu?

I kind of have a bad feeling about doing that No, let me rephrase… it’s bound to lead to a disaster!

To bring such a dangerous child to a place she’s never been before… well, it’s not that I can’t, it’s that I won’t

But even so, leaving her here is bad for my heart

While Mili for human cities

After we finished breakfast, I took Milim to the smithy

I took on my human form and wore a mask; since, as a slime, I wouldn’t be able to try out a weapon

And once we reached it, I greeted Kurobee

「Is the thing I asked for yesterday ready?」

「Oo! This one, right? Should be good for Milim-sama’s personal use!」

He said, showing me the finished product

Yesterday, he hadasked to

It’s Dragon Knuckles!

The point of such gloves would be to prevent injury when punching barehanded and to increase the force of the blow… norloves

No, our goal was the exact opposite The light but dense “De material

Right! When she equips this, her bloill be reduced to only 10 of its norm!

And we used Deenerative effect to them The best part of it all will be the decrease in her destructive power

「Milim, try this on!」

I pass the dragon knuckles to Milim, who, clearly excited, happily accepts them

And she quickly puts them on

She lightly throws some punches in the air

「Oh! This is great! My hands feel really light!」

Alright, seeuess her power should have decreased a bit

And for myself, I took a newly developed sword

The last one I had broke myself, so I had them repair it

I had tried copying it myself, but even if it looked identical its performance was clearly different

See an iteh

Even if it looks the sa ability claims they are the same, there are nonetheless small differences

I draw the sword to check A

I wish I could finally get a sword specialized for etting i forward to it

Nodding, I put the sword back into the scabbard

Theover

Hoell he runs…

「Riroup has come!」

From what he told me, we have an armed squad near the city

A them are the three adventurers

Soroup over

Why are so ht, but,

「Well, let’s go meet them」

I said, and headed to the place where Rigurdo left them

And as if it was thein the world, Milim followed

When I arrived I saw Rigur and the guards surrounding ten or so armed men

They are all dressed similarly However, their equipment seems rather poor, and their ability likewise

Our equipment is worlds superior

Nonetheless, a them are a man and a woman with clearly superior equipment

And not just their equiph

And of course, the three idiots When they saw me,

「Oh! Rimuru-danna, it’s been a while!」

「Howdy! We ca out!」

「It’s been ages! Things happened… so there’s more of us!」

They greeted me

Things happened, huh Seems like they are the cause of this “incident”,

「Yo So, who ht these people be?」

「About that…」

They explained the details

During his introduction, the uard

When the idiots finished,

「Pleased to dom, Count’s Domain, Frontier Garrison Captain Youmu’s the name

We heard that monsters built a city here so we came to check

I heard the chief of the city is a slime, could I meet it?」

He greeted us thus

「Ah, please pardon the belated introduction I am the head of this city and its representative

I am known as Rimuru Tempest

Though I currently appear thus, I am, in fact, a slime!」

I responded

「Is that hoas, pardon my rudeness

Cabal had mentioned that “Ri called a slime, you see

Your human transformation is simply marvelous!」

Whether flattery or not I don’t know, but he see me

I wonder if monsters capable of huht now

「Be that as itinto humans rare?

Actually, forget that question; ould be your business today?」

「Ah, about that…

Our goal was to confir a city before, you see…

Moreover, should that report prove true, there’s the possibility that you will pose a threat to our country

Thus, considering that the city truly exists, we must confirm whether or not you could pose a threat to us

Could we possibly impose upon you our presence?」

「I see However, if ere intending on beco city, how could we let you stay here?」

Upon hearing my retort, the man named Youmu scratched his head

「Ah, damn it I’ll just tell you the truth

Frankly, I didn’t believe there was a city of

And, according to these three adventurers, you’ve got really good living conditions around here

Please allow our stay and the stationing of troops here!」

He said in one breath

And to the three idiots,

「I apologize for doubting you!」

He deeply bowed his head in apology

I had planned to observe hiht to consider hiuy

「Fufuuun! Didn’t we tell you!

Well, as long as you understand! It doesn’t do to always suspect people!」

For some reason, Ellen proudly responded

The other tere expressing their approval of her words or happiness at finally arriving

Well, he doesn’t see their presence is a different matter

「Regarding stationing your troops here: for what purpose? 」

You their situation

Their unit was established by Farainst monsters; they are composed of thirty members in three divisions

Frohway and nearby villages

「Moreover, if we lay roads to the highe’d be saving ti a trade route

Of course, ill offer our labor towards that end!」

He ended with a proposal

Even if it’s possible to get here on horseback, the saes

We hadn’t cleared any trees in the direction of the highway

We didn’t want to stand out at the time; but that was before the earlier orc incident

Now that the forest has begun to cal a trade route

So perhaps it ood idea to accept his proposal
