Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
The End of Turmoil
Now... then.
Of course, hitting a Cabinet Minister is very bad.
Of course...
Brother... what have you done?
So said Kaidou, having brought in the soldiers.
Never missing a day of service, his earlier absence was surprising.
He was so diligent, that even when invited to go drinking, he'd refuse by saying he had duties to attend to.
Thus, for an incident to occur while he was on duty, was naturally surprising.
They could easily run away, but that would be a poor choice...
Hmph! Just some light punishment the idiot who dared being rude to my benefactor Rimuru-danna.
He replied while pointing at Minister Bester who was being nursed by four soldiers.
Bester, on the other hand, was so shocked and surprised that he couldn't even stand.
Blood was dripping from his nose, he glared stupidly at me.
Not even in his wildest dreams had he imagined being punched. Thus, he was so surprised, that he probably didn't even feel the pain.
Oi oi... "just some light punishment"...? Making an enemy of the minister is very bad...
Kaidou muttered with a foreboding sigh.
Anyways... I'll have to restrain the people present.
He said, and gave his subordinates an order.
But, only audible to us, he added,
We won't harm you, so please come peacefully!
He mumbled.
Of course, I had no intention of causing further trouble.
Thus, moving towards Mama-san, I handed her five gold coins.
And, in reply to her surprise,
I included the inconvenience fee! I'll be back!
Such were my salutations.
This is a good shop, and I'd be very upset if I could no longer come here.
That is how we were being escorted away by the soldier... aren't we forgetting something?
Right! We forgot Gobuta.
We didn't bring that idiot to the shop.
In any case, that foolish action seems to have earned Kaijin the punishment in the "Psychidae Hell".
I'd thought they'd hang him upside down or something, so this seems bad.
Which is why, I wrapped Gobuta up with [Sticky Thread] and hung him from the ceiling.
Wait! That's heartless! Take me there, too!!!
And though he cried out similar grief-stricken phrases, hoping that we'd listen.
But to these words,
Idiot! Your actions have their own consequences! If you don't like it, just summon up the rest (storm fang wolves)!
We left him with hanging there with, what we thought, was an impossible task.
Anyways, the goblins, or rather the hobgoblins, should be fine even if they receive no food or water for a week.
Though if it the confinement continues any longer, we'll have to break out and save Gobuta.
And having so decided, I forgot about him for the time being.
My conscience did ask "Isn't this too pitiful?", but he's a sturdy guy! He'll be fine!
So the five of us were brought into the royal palace.
But I may have exaggerated a bit"we weren't restraint with much force. Felt more like we were coming voluntarily. Well, were coerced into doing so...
As a result, we spent two days in prison.
Or so I'd like to call it, but we received good food and the room was amicably furnished.
All five were placed in the same place, so rather than a prison, it was just a big room.
Their treatment of us was also relatively pleasant.
My short temper got you in this mess... forgive me!
Kaijin came over to apologize.
However, no one gathered here particularly minded in the first place.
Kaijin-san, we're fine! Don't sweat it!
Exactly. Don't worry about it, pops!
....!.
The three seemed to be of the same opinion.
That aside, once we're freed, we intend to come along with Kaijin-san!
Rimuru-danna, would our presence be a bother?
......??
The third also seemed like he wanted to say something, but as I clearly lack the power to understand, I was just happy with the sentiment.
Alright! I guess I'll say it again: you'll be in my care! However, I plan to work you hard, so be prepared!
Yeah!
And, well, that's the kind of discussion we had.
The first day had thus passed, and on the second night,
Oh, about that Cabinet Minister, he really seemed to hate Kaijin, didn't he? Is there a reason for that?
I nonchalantly asked.
But hearing this, Kaijin grimaced, and began his tale.
So apparently Kaijin used to be one of the captain's of the royal knights.
That is, there are seven platoons among the royal knights, with each having their own captain.
Construction Platoon, Commoner Platoon, Emergency Relief Platoon.
Heavy Armament Platoon, Magic Assault Platoon, Magic Support Platoon.
And, the most important, the King's personal Royal Guard.
Kaijin served as the captain of the construction platoon.
His aide at the time, was none other than Bester.
That guy, was from a family of a Marquess, and they say he bought his status with gold... Thus he was jealous of me, who was a commoner born of commoners.
Must have been difficult, I imagine. Receiving orders from a mere commoner must have been very disgraceful.
I, myself, did not try to be considerate of my subordinates' feelings. I just desperately tried to please his Majesty...
And then, that incident occurred...
Having so it introduced, he continued to discuss that incident.
An incident that resulted in Kaijin leaving the army.
