It is thanks to that old man that we have this status. So it's better for us to just help each other.” Even I, a former Demon Lord, looked at him and thought that the old man was too cunning to take lightly. “Are you talking about Gadra? That's for sure. Seeing Yuuki like this, the other figure in the room, Kagali, responded. Despite discovering it, Yuuki only had a smile on his face. That move looked well trained and must have been monitoring Yuuki's movements. However, Yuuki's eyes still accurately caught the suspicious figure that used the rain to hide his tracks. It had been raining today, and it was foggy outside the windows. Yuuki looked out the window and smiled bitterly. And the situation is so good that he seems to have run off to join Mr. The reporting, liaising and negotiating were now done.Īfter such a decisive movements, Gadra deserved to be called an expert in training ministries Then he went forward and reported to Rimuru. I will work in my own way, so you too must be careful not to be taken advantage of in secret.” (***Gadra seems to have a habit of referring to himself as “this old man”īut I just switched to the word “I” because it didn’t flow well in english) After that, Gadra ended his "magic communication" with Yuuki. Lord Rimuru may be suspicious of this matter, so I don't have time to discuss it with you here. It didn’t matter if it was now convenient for the other side, Gadra unilaterally made his point. He came to that conclusion and put it into practice immediately. Other people's opinions of him might falter, but that wouldn’t hurt. In that case, I’ll report to Lord Rimuru as well.Īs a result, Gadra decided to put friendship at the forefront. If I didn't give a little warning, I would probably have a bad conscience. What's more important now is that the person who assassinated me is definitely ‘that guy.’ If that's the case, Yuuki is in danger. If that man was His Majesty Rudra-no, that's a stupid thing to say. In that case, that person was really just someone else who looked a lot like Rudra. Whichever way one looked at it, no other correct answer could be found-this was the conclusion that Gadra drew. Under normal circumstances, Emperor Rudra could not have been in that location.
However, seeing how he didn't falter in the slightest, and how he really seemed to know nothing about it…It didn't feel like he was pretending to be him, but… That face, that domineering air-it was certainly true, just like His Majesty Rudra. There was a second doubt that messed with Gadra's thoughts. Part of that was taken into consideration here, and that's why Gadra still hadn’t put it into action. If his credibility continued to decline, it would affect Gadra's position in the future. However, if he revealed such uncertainties and he was wrong about everything, Rimuru's trust in him might fall apart.Īfter all, Gadra had betrayed the Empire. Instead of worrying about that here, there was another option, and that was to explain everything to Rimuru and go to him first.
But even if Gadra felt that way, he was now on Rimuru’s side. The two of them weren't completely unfriendly with one another, and he was personally quite fond of Yuuki. So, what's next? Should I warn Yuuki? Or just leave it alone? That's the problem. Now that he had left the Empire it was a different matter, but it was assumed that Yuuki would be in danger. Even if I had foreseen things coming to this and prepared for it decades ago, it would not be a surprise. After all, His Majesty Rudra has lived longer than me and possesses wisdom and power beyond reason. This was because, if he had guessed correctly, it meant that all of his and Yuuki's shenanigans were now in the hands of Emperor Rudra. I'm surprised that I can't even detect his breath, there are very few opponents like this. The first thing that needed no elaboration was the identity of the person attempting to kill him.
