But the probability of that happening was very low.īoth Kagali and Laplace felt that Yuuki’s idea, while intriguing, would eventually fail. Things would undoubtedly get interesting if Leon were to respond. It took a lot of effort to work that out.” My nerves were killing me after he became suspicious. “Seriously? We even had to leak information about the war just so we could mention those kids. I don’t think Demon Lord Leon will take any action,” Kagali remarked. Then they could come to the definite conclusion: Leon had some other motive. Under normal circumstances, he would write off the loss of those kids, but if Leon took actions regardless of the cost. Leon wasn’t stupid enough that he’d fail to realize this. The risk of antagonizing Rimuru far outweighed the benefits of his attempt at increasing military strength. Leon wouldn’t go to war with Rimuru for the sake of adding a mere five soldiers. What if Demon Lord Leon decided to take action? He wanted to explore Leon’s intentions, but more importantly, the deliberate leaking of information had some significant meaning behind it. Indeed, perhaps just as Yuuki said, this was him erring on the side of caution. I’m always very mindful of details.”Īfter listening to Yuuki’s explanation, Kagali and Laplace both understood what he meant.
“Don’t we now? But for the most part, I just did it out of curiosity. After all, there haven’t been that many clues, so we need a stimulant of some kind.” We can see the reason behind Leon’s actions by simply observing his reaction.” I’m more interested in what that guy will do now that he’s learned about the existence of those children who are supposed to die soon.” Demon Lord Rimuru saved those kids and granted them the power of spirits. By design, incomplete summons-children-would inevitably die. After all, what Leon did with those children is only based on our assumptions. “So that’s why you revealed the truth and told him about the five children under Demon Lord Rimuru’s protection…” On the other hand, I am concerned about whether or not he has some other intention,” Yuuki replied with a wry smile on his face. To be honest, Leon’s goal of gathering these incomplete summons was probably to expand his military force. “No, there was nothing too significant behind that. By the way, did ya have something planned when ya let me tell Leon about the kids?” Laplace asked, sounding resigned. Now that they’ve decided to no longer operate among the Western Nations, it was no longer that big an issue.
At most, they would only lose a way to communicate with Demon Lord Leon. If that were to really happen, they would need to see how things developed. To be fair, I also prepared a mental note for myself in case you guys did lose control,” added Yuuki, smirking as he finished. I’m glad about the fact that you were all able to hold back when facing Leon,” Kagali admitted. It wasn’t actual complaining, but more like friendly banter between close friends. Teare and Footman were tacit under these circumstances, to which Laplace voiced his complaint. “Everything was just like the boss predicted! I was starting to suspect that Laplace had failed.” “I see, it appears that everything has been going smoothly,” Yuuki Kagurazaka said happily after hearing the report.
