From the looks of it, this dungeon would be their workplace from now on.

It's body jiggled with a *Pyon pyon without making a sound as it slid along the floor, giving it an elegant air.

Maybe it's just their imagination, however compared to the other slimes that are not only the weakest of monsters that get eliminated without much of a thought, this one had a different air around it.

Looking at it, one would feel they might be able to one-shot it with a surprise attack, but they shouldn't get careless.

After all, the Demon servant next to The Demon Lord, he had a strange presence emanating from him.

That demon introduced himself as Diablo.

Shinji and co didn't understand why, but when Gadra Roshi first saw Diablo his eyes widened,

He was speechless.

It's probably a very powerful monster.

The details were told later, but apparently it was an existence that could even subdue arc demons, and bring forth pandemonium.

During the "Crimson-dyed lake" incident, the platoon Shinji and co. belonged to were nearly annihilated by a lone Arc Demon, pondering about the meaning of those words paled his face.

In any case, they've got to take extreme care and made sure they never anger Demon Lord Rimuru, they nodded to each other in agreement.

And so, guided by Diablo, they had a walk in the dungeon.

They were brought into a room, and someone was there.

The one flying around before them is a little fairy.

However, after that the fairy seems to have gotten carried away from our reaction.

It seems Shinji has interpreted this as a child who wants to play.

This dungeon truly is Makyo, he thought.

TN Note: 魔境 could mean a demonic/fantasy land, or simply a terrifying place.

After all, there is the Immortal King Adalman and his knightHoly knight Albertoand other strong individuals dwelling here, and then there are child like fairies playing around innocently.

He wasn't certain about doing as this child had told him to, above all they would soon be owing a favor to the ruler of the dungeon.

(The ruler of the dungeon is probably someone like the Immortal King Adalman.

After all, it's an old friend of Gadra Roshi, so there's no mistake.)

†‚·ƒ³‚¸¯èƒˆ...„Ÿ® ‚

So Shinji thought.

Oh well, Shinji thought and was about to decline the offer.

When Shinji was about to continue, suddenly Gadra Roshi knocked him on the head and stopped his words.

佁Œä½ ‹åˆ¤‚‰¬‚·ƒ³‚¸‚

Shinji didn't understand what he did wrong.

‚ª‚·ƒ³‚¸«æ§‹†äº‹ª

Ignoring shinji,

Œ‚Œ¯‚Œ¯ƒ©ƒŸƒª‚¹æ§˜ï¼ç§‚¯‚¬ƒ‰ƒ©¨ç”³—¾'‚

©†‹Šè...‹çŸ¥‚ŠŠä¸‹„¾›ï¼

"My my, why isn't this Rimiris sama! My name is Gadra.

"Ha ha ha, of course. This weak fellow here has underwent training, so there's no problem!"

‚ªä¼šè©±‚’続‘‚‹ƒ©ƒŸƒª‚¹¨‚¬ƒ‰ƒ©‚

And so Ramiris and Gadra continued their conversation.

§‚ˆ†‚„ƒ©ƒŸƒª‚¹Œé­”王®åå‰ ¨æ„出'‚·ƒ³‚¸‚

And finally, Shinji remembered that Ramiris was the name of a Demon Lord.

Mark and Xing, they too remembered after looking at Gadra and Shinji's exchange, and stood up straight ridigly.

Towards the three who were nervously chattering,

"Ah, did you guys knew without having me introducing?

Saying so, Rimuru pointed towards the person behind Ramiris who appeared without anyone realizing.

That person's Beretta, Ramiris's secretary and bodyguard.

Looking at the Doll-like masked individual,

Œª‚¨......

"What in the......"

Gadra said, and groaned.

This place that was also a demon lord's dwelling, it truly is a Makyo where no humans lived.

The first job for Shinji and co, are to monitor those who had invaded the dungeon in a room, simply that.

It didn't feel pleasant, but those are the orders. They thought, and continued their monitoring work.

However he had question. The structure looked totally different from when Shinji and co. first entered the dungeon.

There weren't any surprises; Ramiris was as friendly and openhearted as she looked.

Feeling great, the tension quickly dissipated.

It seems like Demon Lord Rimuru was also quite the openhearted person, but Shinji and co. were hesitant about establishing conversation, on the other hand it was easy to talk to Ramiris since she's the one who initiates them.

Where did he get it, for it was a manga that Shinji had read too, but how should he join inOr rather should he even join in at allhe had a hard time deciding so in the end Shinji didn't call out to him.
