Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
Participation in War
Three days have passed since we departed.
We had been able to reach the marshes.
Since we couldn't replenish our water reserves along the way, I had used the water from my stomach, but it seems to also have filled everyone with power.
Come to think of, since it constantly flows within my magic power, this just may be the water's acquired effect.
When departing we focused on minimizing luggage to maximize speed.
Thanks to that, we were able to arrive sooner than expected.
Before we continue our advance we must confirm the current situation.
The meeting with the Lizardmen's Chief is scheduled for tomorrow, and we have yet to have any cause for concern.
Thus, I ordered everyone to standby and take a break. Tension filled the air.
Now, for the reconnaissance...
[Rimuru-sama, I shall go.]
Souei immediately offered.
He was not wearing any armor. Instead, he was wearing a chainmail woven from my steel thread.
No questions about itit was built for agility.
According to him, I won't be hit, so there's no need! Such were the smug and brisk words of this handsome guy.
I see... I somehow managed to reply.
This time too, I can entrust this mission to him with confidence.
[Okay then, Souei. Go, confirm the situations for me.
If possible, go check how good the ability of the pig boss is!]
Saying so, I sent him out.
Surely, he will discover many interesting things with his exceedingly high ability.
[Rimuru-sama, would you mind if we rampage as we liked this time?]
Benimaru had asked.
Frankly, since I had no idea about the situation I couldn't say. Thus,
[Hmm? I don't mind, but can you properly withdraw once I order the retreat?]
So I say.
Benimaru sported a fearless smile.
[That signal, I think it would be unnecessary? After all, it will be annihilation! Won't it?]
Such self confidence. You too, huh! So I thought.
Good men are full of confidence, was it... if we win...
Was acting so smug but lost anyways! Were that to happen, the embarrassment would be intolerable.
This guy probably doesn't worry about such things, right?
Oh well.
[Don't be careless, okay?]
So I said, and ended the conversation with a shrug.
Shion was entranced, admiring her sword. Soon she would be allowed to rampage as she like! Such a smile appeared on her face.
Had she not been so ditzy, she'd be the cool Shion.
That girl, entranced with her sword, makes a really dangerous impression.
Let's act like we hadn't seen it, shall we. That's the best thing for my mental health.
As expected from Hakurou, he was calm as usual.
Or should I say: as bright and clean as a stainless mirror, truly a dignified presence that comes from a skilled person.
However,
[No opponents to sink my teeth in...]
He murmured, but my ears didn't not miss it.
Seriously, I wonder if all Ogre people were this overconfident?
They had lost once against the same opponent, so I'd think they would be more wary in this situation.
Such worries caused me to let out a sigh.
But..... that my worries were completely unnecessary, was proven almost immediately later.
2 hours later.
(Would now be acceptable?)
Confirming the battle formation, I received a telepathic message.
(What? Did you find something?)
(No, just a single Lizardman, is running in our direction)
(What? Do you understand why?)
(Yes, according to the information from the clones, the war has already begun in the marshes, although I had warned them not to act alone...)
(Oh, is the one who leading them the Lizardmen name Gabil? That guy that was pointlessly overconfident....)
(That is likely. What should I do regarding the lizardman?)
Fumu. The war had already begun. But has the outcome been decided yet?
Rather, maybe we made it in the nick of time. Need to confirm the state of battle from above.
Well, about the Lizadman...
