Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
Emergency Meeting
Now, after the moron had left, this is what we did.
Right about then, Souei had returned from his scouting mission.
Just in time.
Gathering everyone, I decided to hold a conference.
From the Hobgoblins: Rigurdo, Rigur, Rugurdo, Regurdo, Rogurdo, and Ririna.
Kaijin representing the dwarfs.
Benimaru, Hakurou, Shion, and Souei representing the Oni.
And, myself.
All together, 12 "people". The current core members. Kaijin also speaking on behalf the Construction and Manufacturing departments.
Department of Production is supervised by Ririna.
Department of Governance has Rigurdo at the top, and three chiefs making up the judicial, legislative, and executive branches.
However, this particular department is not completely established yet...
But that's a problem for the future.
Department of War by Benimaru and Hakurou.
Department of Intelligence by Souei.
Department of Defense by Rigur.
At present, we have only six departments active in our city.
Well, though I say "active", they are so in name only; however, it's probably a good idea to slowly develop them.
Currently, everyone is living with little worry about food.
The department of defense is also regulating hunting, so that sector should be fine.
If I think about it, Rigur is handling things well. He's one of those unsung heroes, isn't he.
Frankly, about the department of war, Benimaru knows nothing except numbers of soldiers when it comes to the art of war.
So it's an appointment in name only. It was something that I had to do.
Ririna shows promise. After obtaining a potato-like plant, she succeeded in its cultivation.
With short harvest cycles, and high nutritional value, it will improve our food supply.
In the future, when we trade with the humans, we should obtain many different vegetable seeds.
The construction and manufacturing departments are completely left to Kaijin.
He normally specializes in smithing, but after Kurobee joined, he ended up in a managerial position.
Seems like Kaijin has been completely separated from his field of expertise. However, he had entrusted it all to Kurobee.
According to Kaijin, they are still busy with establishing the smithy, but once things calm down, he'll devote himself fully to production. That's how it is.
He probably wants to come back soon.
Shion is in charge of my care? I kind of want to rethink that post, but right now, no matter where we put her, it'll be bad for my heart.
For now, let's wait and see.
And, about Souei.
He's strange.
I know I appointed him as a ninja... but he's taking it too seriously.
He can make clones appear from any direction.
While their abilities drop, they have no movement restrictions. Furthermore, he can deploy six clones without any restrictions.
And even if I say their abilities decrease, that's only about their vigor (HP) and magical energy (MP)"it becomes 1/10th of original. Their movement abilities and attack power are completely unchanged.
An ability superior to mine.
Actually, all the Oni are strange.
Souei, as I had just described.
Shuna had specialized in my Analysis Ability, and awakened to the unique skill [Analytic].
Our abilities are basically identical, with the exception that she doesn't need to eat the target. She can analyze with eyesight alone.
Kurobee had awakened to the unique skill [Researcher]. This skill also bears great semblance to my own.
As someone who specializes in production, it is a very useful skill.
Hakurou has had his perception ability accelerated by a a thousand times. So I basically can't see him losing in a battle.
Shion, as you'd expect, obtained [Herculean Strength EX] and [Physical Strength EX].
Moreover, she also awakened to a special skill [Battle Craze] that she should absolutely never use.
Last up, Benimaru. This bastard learned [Black Lightning] of all things. Seriously! Of all the dangerous skills I did not want circulating!
I think I'll need to come up with some countermeasures.
Anyhow, they seem to have inherited my skills and completed their evolution.
Now then, let's start the conference.
First, let's hear the report.
Upon my order, Souei began conveying the state of affairs.
Everyone silently listened.
He sent out six clones to gather intel
