Chapter 12: Misunderstandings and Meetings

__________________________________________________________________________

- Felix -

It's been about a week since I named the Dragons, and Arcueid is still not back. I can only internally plead for Arcueid to hurry up, I don't think I can handle much more of this work, even if Odin is basically doing everything, it's just so… boring.

I would be worried about what is taking her so long, but I can tell that she is fine through my connection with her. The Daemon Realm is massive, so it makes sense that it would take some time to gather all the Daemons she wants to bring.

Along with that I still haven't gathered enough energy to give myself a power boost from receiving my second name, but Odin said that due to my current strength, quite a lot of belief is necessary to give me a second name. She estimated that almost the entire world's collective belief would be necessary to gather enough energy. It takes time for word of a new Demon Lord to spread after all, with all the mostly isolated villages and all. Information does not travel nearly as quickly here as it does in a modern world.

I ended up deciding to just leave it be, I'm not in urgent need of strength at the moment after all, there aren't many ways I can decrease the time needed other than terrorizing the world, which I am not particularly inclined to do.

I continued going over my plans for developing my nation, I have a few ideas on how I can improve the general state of living, the Central World isn't very modern, by no means is it caveman-like, there is some pretty advanced stuff in some kingdoms. Still a lot of things aren't as developed as Earth, the food isn't as good for most, in order to eat the truly good stuff you generally need to be strong or have a high status. The stuff that Guy's maids cooked was all from A Rank monsters, no human could casually eat stuff like that, not even a Monarch. But Guy handed them out like candy since it is so easy for him to get.

It is also easy for me to get, so I thought why not, I can also bring some modern cuisine back with me whenever I travel to another world. 

'Speaking of that, how is the progress on figuring out the coordinates for the world I was summoned from?'

'Notice, the process of locating the coordinates for the world known as Jujutsu Kaisen is 83.721% done.'

'It's almost done then, you found it faster than I thought seeing as you basically need to scour the entire multiverse to look for that world, nice job.'

'Odin is simply doing its duty.'

'Yeah yeah, just accept the praise.'

'....'

Now how should I go about gathering the food that I want? I already have a rice farm, seeing as Rimuru already laid the foundation for it, it wasn't difficult to set up. Rice is a staple dish almost everywhere on Earth, so many things can be made with it so I'm looking forward to when it's fully prepared. For now I will have to get rice from Tempest if I want it. Thankfully Rimuru is generous when it comes to me so I was able to acquire a bunch for a low cost. From what I've heard he's been milking all the other countries for everything that they want.

I established a trading relationship with Eurazania for their signature fruits, I'm sure I could have asked for what I want for free, but I didn't really want to take too much advantage of them for something incredibly minor. I was able to make alcohol out of the fruits that I asked for, and boy is it amazing.

Probably the best alcohol I have ever had, I have made some wine and beer so far. Hopefully I can develop the alcohol business far enough for it to be something that other nations can be interested in.

I currently have some subordinates producing all sorts of alcohol and storing it in a cold warehouse, cooling isn't something that is super well known in this world so chilled alcohol will be something new to them.

I turn my attention towards Raiden who is massaging my shoulders, "So Raiden, how are the new Dragons? Anything you need for them?"

I felt Raiden pause her massage for a moment before continuing, "No Master, it did take some time for them to get used to their new abilities but they are hard working so they were able to learn quickly. Now that they have felt what true strength feels like they are eager to grow stronger."

Huh, it seems my Haki had quite the large effect on them. Though it makes sense, if I wasn't even capable of standing in someone's presence I would be eager to grow stronger too.

"I see, that's good, what about Porunga? How is he doing?"

I remember Porunga was in a bad state after his fight with Megumin, if it wasn't for Self-Regeneration then he would have needed a Full Potion to fully heal up. Though it seemed like Megumin took a liking to him, she said that he just kept on getting up so he was a useful punching bag.

I sense a lot of pain in Porunga's future, though he didn't seem to mind, it seems he is a bit of a battle junkie himself.

"He is doing well, he listens to my commands, he is also respectful now that he knows his place. He has been training with Megumin, and according to Megumin he is growing stronger due to their fights. His rate of improvement is slow but it is still there." Ah, if Porunga had a zenkai he would be overpowered by now huh?

"Hmm? Do you and Megumin talk often? I didn't know that you two were close."

"Did you not know Master? All of your direct subordinates meet up once a week to discuss how we can better serve you and how we can help you accomplish your goals."

What the fuck! 

That sounds a lot like a cult, they meet up every week? What could they know? Am I always being watched? No, I would have sensed it, and I'm sure Odin would tell me. Who even brought up having meetings? 

…Okay that is kinda creepy, I am going to pretend I never heard that, hopefully Saeko did not reveal our escapades, even I would be embarrassed about that being talked about.

At least it seems like they are all friends, that's good, right?

"Is that so, anyways what's for dinner today? I always look forward to your cooking, you might be even better than Shuna now!"

Truly, her cooking has improved by leaps and bounds since I first tried her food, now I prefer her cooking to even Shuna's cooking.

"I see! I am glad that you enjoy my cooking master!" Oh, is that a blush? How adorable, the ever stoic maid gets embarrassed from her cooking being complimented.

"Today I will be preparing Black Tiger Stew, along with Grilled Horned Rabbit."

"Oh, I can't wait, I haven't had a chance to try Black Tiger Stew since the Walpurgis. But aren't both those monsters B Ranked? When did you have a chance to hunt them?"

 "I ordered Porunga to hunt them down for you Master, once he heard it was for you he was incredibly eager, he truly has become a good subordinate."

Isn't that like way below Porunga's pay grade? He's a certified Disaster-class and he is hunting monsters for me to eat?! And why does Raiden look so proud?!

"Ah, I see, well if he is the one doing the hunting do give him some of the food as well, tell him to consider it his reward."

"Ah, my Master truly is a kind and gracious lord, I am sure Porunga will be delighted upon hearing your praise."

"Well then, I better finish up these plans so I can eat your delicious meal."

I'm currently working on making a bunch of blueprints for buildings from my past life, though it's more like Odin is doing everything. Odin is able to easily create the blueprints so it shouldn't take me too long. I bet all those Civil Engineers from my past life are jealous, it takes them hours, sometimes even days to make blueprints and here I am making them in seconds.

Odin truly is the best, umu.

I'm planning to make blueprints for modern housing, plumbing, sewage, stores, pools, basically everything that a modern country needs.

The only reason I didn't start this as soon as this territory became mine was because I wasn't sure how I should have it all built, Clayman didn't have enough people skilled in construction and I didn't want to rely on Rimuru for everything so I didn't want to ask for him to lend me some Orcs.

I ended up deciding to offer the former slaves the opportunity to construct everything, they don't have all that many skills so a bunch were eager to learn and become more useful.

They were quite thankful to me for releasing them so they wanted to pull their own weight, along with that they didn't really have anywhere else to go, and what I offered them was a good deal.

I sent them to the craftsmen that Clayman had already secured to learn from, last I heard they should be ready to work in about 2 weeks time.

Together with the former slaves and Clayman's original craftsmen I should have enough men to build everything I want, if at a slower pace than Rimuru's Orcs.

I've also made use of a few warehouses Clayman wasn't using to store magic ore, I'm hoping that after being exposed to the magicules everyone is releasing they will turn into magisteel. With the combined 'Aura' of Arcueid, Megumin, Saeko, Raiden, Kurumi, all the Dragons, and all the Daemons Arcueid is going to bring, it should be more than enough to mutate them.

And I'm sure the population of Azeroth will grow over time, causing even more magicules to be in the air, the only downside to that is that my territory will become more, and more hazardous to humans who do not have a high tolerance for magicules, but I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out if a time when humans actually want to come here comes.

I do already have a bunch of magisteel along with some Orichalcum and Mithril which is magisteel combined with Silver.

I also recently experimented with magisteel and learned about a new ore, Adamantite. Adamantite is formed when magisteel is exposed to an immense amount of magicules so it basically super evolves. It is harder than diamond but is also incredibly flexible. According to Odin it is almost like a living thing. Absolutely absurd. 

I've been trying to create more but it is incredibly difficult to form, I only have about 5 kilograms worth so far. I'm considering getting a weapon formed for Raiden out of it, she said she doesn't really use weapons but is willing to learn. I also plan to upgrade Saeko's weapon with it, Saeko only has a Unique Grade blade after all.

"Alright, that's the last blueprint Raiden, could you start preparing dinner?"

"It would be my pleasure Master!"

I stare at an apologetic Milim as she tries to calm down a furious Middray.

What a pain, it all started when I felt Milim, Middray, and Arc approaching my castle at high speeds, I quickly stopped them as knowing Milim, she would crash into my beautiful castle and damage it.

I just got this damn castle, I don't want to have to get it repaired already.

It turns out that Frey has been forcing Milim to be an effective ruler, poor Milim, having to do actual work now, couldn't be me.

She ended up finishing up all the work that Frey was making her do so she decided to visit me with Middray as her chaperone, it seems Frey didn't think Arc could keep Milim under control.

I, of course being the generous host that I am, invited them to dinner. Who knows, maybe Middray will finally learn what real food is.

Unfortunately Megumin couldn't join us due to having some work to do, she has been sparring with Kurumi a bunch. It turns out that Kurumi herself asked for some training, she said she wanted to get stronger and become more useful.

Saeko joined them, thankfully I used 'Isolate' on their training field or they would end up destroying the entire country.

Such hardworking subordinates I have.

Back to the meal, as soon as the dishes were placed in front of Middray, he said, "This is not the kind of food Milim-sama should eat Demon Lord Felix-sama! " He kept going on and on with his criticism without even trying it. I can tell Raiden is holding back from trying to beat him up. 

Arc has been looking towards me apologetically the entire time, poor Arc, he can't do anything.

I look towards Milim, "If he doesn't want to eat that's fine, we can't force him to. After all, people will generally do the opposite of what you want them to if you force them."

"Hmph, he is being mean to Raiden! My Bestie's subordinate made food for us, dumb Middray shouldn't say those things without trying the food!" 

That's true, I myself want to beat him up, but I can control myself, it's his loss after all.

"To treat nature's gifts like this! Not only have you cooked it, but to add all these unknown spices?! It is fine to do this in your own territory, but please do not rope Milim-sama into this!"

These kinds of people are a pain to deal with, they will not admit they are wrong no matter what. I pity Milim if she has to deal with this whenever she gets food from somewhere else.

Midday continued going on and on about how meat should be enjoyed at its purest, I tuned him out as we all continued to eat. As I was eating though I saw Milim make an evil look on her face, she quickly grabbed some food and shoved it in his mouth as he was talking.

….

Midday's eyes widened, he looked like he didn't understand what just happened. "Thi-this is?!" Ah, it seems Milim got through to him, he will finally understand the greatness of Raiden's cooking, umu.

"Ghaha! See, I told you it was good Middray, stop being a big baby and eat!"

"S-so good! This one bite is more delicious than all of the vegetables I eat!" 

Dude, it's obviously going to be better than raw vegetables. This guy really was living in the stone age.

After that we enjoyed our meal in relative silence.

"Hey Milim, I'm going to visit Tempest in a little bit, wanna come?"

I was planning to go later, but if Milim is already here I might as well go now, who knows when Frey will make her do more work?

"Umu! I can show Arc off! He has gotten stronger, I bet he can beat up all of Rimuru's subordinates!"

Hmm? Now that I take a closer look at him, it does seem like he got a tad stronger, he was already an Arch Daemon so he was pretty powerful. It seems like his magicule capacity grew along with his mastery over his skills.

"Haha, maybe he can beat some of them up but Diablo and some of Rimuru's direct subordinates would stomp all over him."

"Gah! I forgot about them!" How do you forget about one of the Primordial Daemons?! I can understand the others since their race isn't as well known, but seriously? You forgot about a Primordial?

"Oh yeah! Where is Arcueid? I haven't seen her?"

"Hmm? Oh I sent her to gather up some more subordinates for me, seeing as I now have a country I am responsible for, I thought I should get some more strong subordinates."

"Oh! Hmm yeah, the Dragon Faithful are quite useful, they are pretty strong too!"

"I bet they are."

"Gah! Milim-sama! Thank you for the praise! I shall increase everyone's training regiment in order to make them more useful to you!"

"Haha, great! Stronger sparring partners is always fun!"

I do not envy the Dragon Faithful, Midday's training regiment can be pretty brutal.

"I'll be ready to leave tomorrow, I still have something I need to do before we go to Tempest, I'll get you three rooms."

"Okay! Make my room right next to yours Felix!"

"Fine."

บท 41: Chapter 12 Part 2

I gather everyone that is coming with me to Tempest around. I ended up bringing only Raiden as I want Saeko, Megumin, and Kurumi to stay back in case something unexpected happens. Those three are strong enough to hold off most threats long enough for me to get back.

Saeko complained but it wasn't too difficult to make her see reason, she's been more agreeable ever since we slept together, another plus in my book.

Milim is bringing Middray and Arc with her, "Hurry up! I want to try that new food you were talking about!" 

"Hold on, be patient, let me make sure that Suphia is prepared to head to the Valley of Death." 

I use 'Universal Sense' to figure out how she is doing, looks like she is packing some stuff along with ordering everyone she is bringing along to get ready to leave.

She should be able to handle the rest on her own.

I ended up finding out about the Valley of Death a little while ago, basically it is a path that leads into the Eastern Empire, meaning the Eastern Empire has a way to access my territory, not something that can be considered good.

The path itself is through jagged mountains, there is no paved road, and the terrain is harsh. There are even monsters that reside in there, but even then it isn't impossible for a small force to travel through as long as they are well trained.

Kurumi's home village used to be located here, so it is possible to reside in.

I ended up sending Suphia along with a small force of Lycanthropes and craftsmen to build a base in front of the Valley so that we can always have some troops watching there.

I plan to leave that base under Suphia's command. It might not be able to stop an invading force but they are capable of warning me ahead of time so I can prepare. 

Along with that Rimuru invited me earlier saying he wanted to discuss something, he also mentioned that he managed to recreate sushi. Apparently he caught some fancy fish and had Hakurou make it into sushi.

That'll be a nice treat for us, maybe Raiden can sneakily steal the recipe too.

I use 'Ouroboros' to teleport us, and in an instant we arrive at my home in Tempest.

I look around the room we teleport in, "I haven't been here in a while, nice to see nothing changed."

Raiden chimed in, "No one would dare invade your home Master."

"Eh, I was talking more along the lines of I'm glad that this place is still here, the house Rimuru had made for me is big, bigger than Rimuru's home, I'm sure they could use the space for other things so I'm thankful they left it as is."

"Eh, I don't think Rimuru would get rid of your home Felix! He's your friend! Friends don't do that to each other! But I'm the better friend!"

I roll my eyes, she can get really defensive about that, "Yes yes, you are the bestest of friends."

We are all greeted by the civilians as we exit my house and head towards where I know Rimuru is. That's one thing that isn't seen much in other countries, the people here are nice, as long as you don't disrespect Rimuru they will treat you great. Tempest is a generally pleasant place to be, I would live here full time if I didn't have a country of my own to run.

Soon enough we arrive at the building where Rimuru's office is located. I believe that this building is the biggest one in Tempest rather than the ruler's home like in most countries.

Rimuru said he didn't need a big home due to being a slime and not needing sleep or anything really.

His home is mostly used when I come over to hang out with him, I introduced Veldora to Uno, Blackjack, along with a few other games so we all played them together a few times.

I wish we could play Smash, I bet that would be a ton of fun.

Once I arrived I was promptly brought to where Rimuru was working, poor guy, he can't give all his work to his subordinates.

"Sup Rimuru."

He looked up from the paperwork, "Ah! Felix! I see you brought Milim too."

"Mhmm, she was together with me, she said she wanted to try out the sushi."

"Umu, it turned out really good, you are going to be so jealous once you eat it."

"We'll see about that, so you wanted to talk to me about something?"

"Yup, hold on one second. Shuna! Could you come and show everyone around while Felix and I talk?"

Shuna quickly entered the room, "Of course Rimuru-sama." She turned to look towards everyone, "Come on, I will show you the new restaurants and stores that opened!"

Raiden looked towards me, "Don't worry Raiden, I'll be fine, try out some of the new foods, maybe you will get some inspiration."

Raiden had a determined look on her face, "Umu!"

"Oh! New restaurants!" Milim looked at me and said, "Be quick Felix, I want to play with you later!"

Play with me? She probably means fighting or some game, maybe both. "Alright, it shouldn't be too long I think, right Rimuru?"

"Yup, not long."

I took the seat in front of Rimuru as we waited for the room to clear out.

"So, what's up?"

"Hrm, it seems like the Western Holy Church has taken potentially hostile actions against Tempest."

"What?! What did they do?"

That's odd, from what I know about Luminous it doesn't seem like her to want hostile relations with Tempest, she hates Veldora, but still, she can't think that attacking Veldora is worth having two True Demon Lords and a True Dragon upset at you. 

Right?

"Hinata-san is armed and on her way here with 4 strong Paladins. She has 100 Crusaders following about half a day behind her, and Thirty Thousand Temple Knights have also been deployed and have surrounded Falmuth. News of a powerful Daemon residing in Falmuth has spread." Ah, that's probably Diablo huh?

"Hmm, I see. Hinata is a Saint, even if an incomplete one, she isn't someone to underestimate, but as long as you play it smart you can deal with her. You could always just kill them all in a surprise attack, but it would be a pain to deal with the aftermath of that, maybe as a last resort."

"Gah! You sound just like Diablo! We don't know for sure if they want to fight! Maybe she just has guards following her in case things go bad?"

I rolled my eyes, "We are from the same lineage after all, and Rimuru, don't be delusional, she is someone who nearly caused you to lose so many people you care about, she has repeatedly shown that she does not care for your reasoning, stop letting the fact that she is from Earth blind you from considering the other possibilities."

"Ugh, yeah I know, I know they might not be coming here with good intentions, but it doesn't hurt to hope. I'm already prepared for a fight, I just wanted to let you know that you should be careful, if they are taking action against Tempest then there is a high chance they will take action against you."

Hmm, that's a reasonable concern, I'll have to tell everyone to be a bit more careful. 

"Why don't you just use your Demon Lord ring to contact Luminous and demand an explanation?"

"I want to try and talk to Hinata first, she is Shizu-san's student after all, I don't want to have a bad relationship with her if I don't have to. But maybe you're right, your country is also at risk after all, I shouldn't risk that over a potential friendship I could have."

"Your wishful thinking is making you ignore the tropes, for all we know she may be unaware of all this, she doesn't seem like the type of ruler that cares too much about what her subordinates get up to. It is highly possible one of her human subordinates in the Western Holy Church is plotting against us, they are a massive organization after all, she can't know everything that is going on. And it's the church, they are almost always the bad guys. They even blatantly advertise that they are against Monsters so it wouldn't be surprising if they had a bone to pick with you, the Ruler of a Monster Nation."

"So you're saying that there could still be a chance that Hinata just fell to another misunderstanding? Hopefully we can get this all sorted out soon, if that is the case even having a neutral relationship with them could be helpful, it could show the world that while they might not approve of us, they are not completely against us."

"Umu, I can contact Luminous now, hopefully we can get everything sorted out."
