Draco called Milim over.
"Hey, Draco, did you see that? My cool, heroic posture just now!"
Milim bragged about her performance with a face full of pride.
"Hehehe, I'm going to the Jura Tempest Federation. Do you want to come along?"
"Yes, yes!"
Milim excitedly grabbed Draco's arm, looking like she couldn't wait.
Draco then thought that since they were going anyway, he might as well call Demiurge and hold a Post-war Meeting to settle the upcoming matters.
After that, Draco planned to modify Benimaru, Souei, and the others, so he wouldn't have time to deal with Clayman.
He'd leave it to Demiurge and Rimuru to handle.
Thus, Draco led the group to the Jura Tempest Federation.
At this moment, the Jura Tempest Federation had mostly recovered after the baptism of war.
Except for the absence of merchants and adventurers, it had returned to its former prosperous state.
Draco went straight to the Administrative Hall, where Black-clothed Deacons were methodically handling their work.
"Eh, when did so many demons appear here?"
Milim looked around curiously.
When Draco pushed open the door to Rimuru's Office, he saw him surrounded by a pile of documents.
Diablo was frantically handing him new files.
"Lord Rimuru, this needs your signature..."
"Lord Rimuru, this is the city damage status sent by Rigurd..."
"Lord Rimuru, this is the Logistics Department..."
"..."
In his human form, Rimuru was frantically looking at the documents in his hands, his forehead covered in sweat.
Rimuru somewhat regretted listening to Mjurran's suggestion.
Previously, Mjurran told him that Diablo was more suited for secretarial work than she was, while she preferred researching magic.
Diablo naturally accepted this gladly, and Rimuru agreed to the proposal—and then he was in trouble.
Rimuru couldn't keep up with Diablo's pace at all, leading to the current scene.
Seeing Draco, he felt like he'd found a savior. Rimuru threw down the documents and quickly ran over.
"If it isn't Big Brother! Do you have something for me? Let's go, let's go, we'll talk as we walk."
"Um, Diablo, I'll leave the rest to you."
After saying that, Rimuru pulled Draco to leave.
But he was pulled back by Draco.
"Don't you have the 'King of Wisdom'? How did you end up like this?"
Draco asked amusedly.
"*Hmph*"
"How should I know it would turn out like this?"
Raphael had previously asked Rimuru if he needed assistance.
But Rimuru had strictly refused, saying, "If I always rely on you, what's the difference between me and a piece of trash?"
He had dug his own grave and now had to lie in it.
"Forget it, I'm here to talk about some serious business and plan for the future."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
...In the meeting room.
Draco and Rimuru sat at the head of the table, with Demiurge and Diablo behind them.
The others were lined up on either side.
Just as the meeting was about to begin, Veldora suddenly burst through the door.
"Rimuru!! Where's the Final Volume of the Manga? Why is it suddenly gone!"
He held up a Manga book and roared at Rimuru in frustration.
"Uh, here, here, just be quiet for a bit."
Rimuru turned back into his Slime form and spat out a Manga.
"Manga? What's that?"
Seeing this, Milim curiously snatched it away.
"Hey, little girl, that's mine!"
Veldora reached out to grab it, but found that he had actually missed.
"Hehe, let me see what fun thing this is."
"You brat!"
"Blegh~"
Milim stuck out her cute tongue at him.
Rimuru stopped Veldora, who was about to strike, and spat out another Manga.
"Well, there's more here. Don't get excited. Milim is just a child; you can't hold a grudge against a child."
"Hmm? Milim?"
Veldora scratched his head as if remembering something. "Oh~ so this is my big brother's Only Child. Although it's our first meeting, I didn't expect her to be such a little girl."
"???"
In an instant, everyone in the meeting room turned their gaze toward Draco.
Shalltear: "Master's...?"
Albedo: "Child...?"
Shuna: "Milim...?"
The three of them stared intently at Draco, their eyes filled with suspicion.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that."
Draco was somewhat speechless.
"I'm only 27 this year. How could I have fathered Milim, who is thousands of years old?" Draco said, rolling his eyes.
Thinking about it, everyone realized that was indeed the case.
Then, their gazes gathered on Veldora once more.
"Ah, this Big Brother... I don't mean this Big Brother."
You're just playing word games with me now.
Seeing that everyone was even more confused, Draco sighed and said,
"The 'Big Brother' he's talking about is the Star King Dragon, Veldanava, not me."
Milim is clearly his eldest niece, okay?
"I see, that was a false alarm."
Albedo patted her towering chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Shuna and Shalltear also let out long sighs of relief, their hearts finally at ease.
They had thought the position of the main wife had already been secretly snatched away.
However, this incident also reminded the three of them that it would be best to have an heir as soon as possible.
Veldora ignored everyone else, took the manga in his hand, and sat down on the sofa next to Milim to read with great interest.
The meeting continued.
"Everyone, let's begin discussing our future combat plans."
"Let's start with Rimuru."
Draco opened the floor and then passed the buck to Rimuru.
"You guy!"
Rimuru gave Draco a somewhat resentful glare, but he did indeed have some thoughts he wanted to share.
"Combining the intelligence Draco obtained from the captives Edmar and Lecim,"
"the reason the Kingdom of Falmuth attacked our Jura Tempest Federation this time was partly due to Demon Lord Clayman stirring up trouble behind the scenes."
Well~ actually, the Kingdom of Falmuth's attack on the Jura Tempest Federation was entirely their own idea.
However, Draco didn't have the time to deal with Clayman, so he pinned the blame for this incident on Clayman's head. That way, there would be a reason for Rimuru to go along and deal with Clayman together.
Then he could be a hands-off manager.
Besides, Clayman had suddenly come to the Jura Tempest Federation to bluster for no reason and even got beaten up.
Now that the mud had fallen into his pants, it was shit whether it was or not.
Rimuru paused and continued.
"The previous Orc Lord incident was like this, and this national extermination incident is the same, so..."
"I've decided to become a Demon Lord!"
The affirmation of a handsome man.
