Research Results

My diet had become more diverse

Previously, with every meal, the dessert had been fruit, but now there was also cake

Ah, it’s wonderful to be alive I had decided to rown tired of eating too much everyday

It was a satisfying life When I had just reincarnated into a Sli such a luxurious lifestyle

If there are no problems with the East Empire, I could immerse myself in my hobby butThinking about it recently, Veldora, so like, “Should we attack at the same time as the declaration of war?”

Although there soree with the wait and see approach, if you think about it, it’s easier to attack than it is to defend

The spread out defensive forcesthe planned invasion route On the other hand, only deploying the reconnaissance unit to decide the route had a large risk of turning into an attack

It’s expected that they would not invade frodom territory

The neutral country, the Arhly technological armaments

The country’s entry and exit points were also more suitable for defense, and not for an attee army Therefore, it could be said that the country itself was a natural fortress

The sea route was also not an option The nuht not suffice, and there were also large deh seas

It was difficult to ain a foothold for sea coh and the route would not be chosen More simply, it was unknohether the shi+p could sail the sea safely or not

Sions was also not an option

In the end, the only option left was the route that passed through the Great Jura Forest

When it came to this, the possible routes that could be selected for military mobilization were three

But, one of those routes was an area adjacent to the Dwarf Kingdom I think it wouldn’t be used for an unauthorized invasion, due to the fear of a pincer attack froon

In the end, the other two routes are the most probable for invasion The army, in theory would be divided in two to handle the two routes

However, was it really going to be that simple?

I couldn’t help but to think about it If the empire reallyTee army? Which one was true?

Anyway, those were hts as a person that wasn’t an expert in military affairs, but I would choose the invasion route between the two routes

A military expert would not choose easily predicted the route simply because there was no other route

No, on contrary if there’s no other route, I would not h forces tooverwhelht

If it beca the war potentials was a bad plan

It was no good

I got irritated while thinking about it

As expected, we should attack, right?

Or rather, when the eht answer?

The right answer ht not come even if I think about it seriously I should deal with it by adapting to the circumstances

'Adapting to the circumstances'

The phrase sounds wonderful, it gives the ie of capable man

Alright, let’s go then

Ithe Sea route, as a precaution and I set up Transfer Magic Circle in various places

Using the long distance coent mobilization were flawless It wasreports

If there was so, then a report would come Let’s think about that laterWith the conclusion reached, I stood up and went to the dining hall

I needed sweets when I used h desserts were reserved for special days and public holidays, snacks were different

I intended to ask Shuna to prepare a cake for me immediately

Sweets weresweets, I would think about it when it happened

My plan was easily overturned, though when I saw that shi+on was in the dining hall

A large smile appeared on her face when she saw me, and she presented to me the plate in her hand

I wonder what this is, this unpleasant premonition「I have been waiting for you, Rimuru-sama!

Don’t be so reticent, Rimuru-sama

If you ordered it, with a single word, I would have prepared a cake (so similar)

Ok, here you are! The taste is identical to Shuna’s, but it’s several tierPlease eat it without reservation!」She s that seemed to be made of konnyaku[1]on top of it

Eh? Cake!?

I gazed at the object on the plate I had received reflexively, and looked around, searching for help

But there was no one, did they run away?

Apparently, I had come at the worst moment「Oi, is this a cake?[2]」

「Yes! The taste is perfectly reproduced!」

shi+on was bri with confidence

But, the bad feelings just increased

The taste is perfect? Then, other than the taste, the rest isn’t good?

I decided to eat a singlemy ruined plan

This was so I had decided, to enjoy a post-meal dessert

In the first place, this hellish situation was caused because I was a glutton despite the fact that I don’t need to eat

I scooped a bite with a spoon, and put it in my mouth

I thought I vomited

It had the consistency of konnyaku, but it tasted like an overly sweet cake

Looking at it, it was grey and had the texture of konnyaku

At this moment, I realized once more: For a cake, the appearance is important No, not just cake, for any meal, the appearance is also important

Even if the raw ingredients didn’t seeed, I didn't think it was delicious「How is it? Is it tasty?」

shi+on’s annoyingly sht?

This fellow is like that First of all, as cooking? She seemed to stumble for such basic a basic point「Sit down For a now, sit down there It’s ti![4]」

「Eh!? Why?」

Her sed to watery eyes shi+on was flustered, but I don’t care

After that, for approximately 30was

I finished scolding shi+on and finally drew a breath

Leaving her unattended wasto her Skill and only got the resulting flavor Sheher lifetime because of this attitude

Didwork? shi+on promised to learn to cook from Shuna

Or rather, wasn’t she already being taught by Shuna? No, no, that ination

I was slightly anxious, but with this I was safe for the ti, I decided tothink that

When I caht, I unexpectedly met Kurobee

「Oh, I’ve been looking for you, Rimuru-sama You were here after all」

「H you needed?」

「Yes, the previous request for a new type of weapon was completed!」Kurobee reported joyfully

Request from before? Because there were a lot, I don’t remember which one it was

Anyway, I went to the workshop with Kurobee

The workshop was hot as usual It was good that I wasn’t affected by the tereat

The nu monsters――had increased since my previous visit

「The number of apprentices seems to have increased」

「Yes, thanks to you However, they still have a long way to go The nureater than the number of usable articles produced」

The two of us entered the workshop while talking, and the apprentices noticed our voices and looked up

And then, noticing ure, they all stood up and bowed sior

When Kurobee saw that,

「You idiots! Quickly return to work!」

He shouted in very loud voice, and the apprentices’ work resumed

I s It was similar to when the co you feel tense

It was more stressful, for the people in lower positions

I too didn’t haveof the country I ht be just as pitiful as them since I couldn’t play freely

Even when general er visited my workspace in the previous world, I would have prepared with a major cleanup the day before If it was the co mood where failure could not be tolerated would appear

Since I understand that ht need to pay all theleisurely

But
