Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 263

By working hard here, they will learn about their powerlessness, about how important it is to work together with others and about how they can prove to be useful.

It is my aim to make them find something that they are lacking.

There’s no need to go out of their way to challenge the king of the island or do something risky.

And so I explained to Laplace.

Laplace and Tia listened closely.

Seems like they agreed.

“Then, let’s make the pa.s.sing score to be 30. But what about the punishment?”

“Just do whatever you like.”

“Ha? In what sense are you implying……… don’t tell me?!”

“Yep. Don’t you think such an idiot being in the academy itself is unforgivable?”

“I do think that, yes! I very much think that!!”

Laplace looked extremely happy.

It seems like Tia didn’t quite understand but she understood after my next line.

“One year. I will leave them to you for a year, Laplace-chan.”

“Thank you very much! I feel pumped up already. Also, about the letter of marque, is it really…”

“I don’t mind not giving it to you if you doubt it, you know?”

“I am extremely sorry! I believe Rimuru-sama from the bottom of my heart!”

Laplace looked so happy that it felt like he would go jumping saying ‘yahoo!’ any moment now.

It seems Tia also caught up as she gave a complacent smile.

I guess that is how it is for them, huh…?

After all, I just officially admitted that they can take low level students as their subordinate.

These two are special agents under Souei’s control so they generally don’t really get along well with others.

And that’s exactly why, even if it’s only one year, they are so happy to get allies.

There’s also the letter of marque on top of that.

If some country tries to experiment aviation, he plans to instantly go and crush it.

If he has subordinates when doing that, that would be the best stage for Laplace.

Even for Tia, a subordinate worth grueling training would be a good toy to her and that also reflected on her smile.

“However, if a youngster with a future was to get involved in an illegal act-”

“Stupid! I’m the one giving you permission, so it’s legal, alright?! Listen closely, I am the Great Demon Lord. Although I acknowledge the countries ruling their territories in the land, I do not permit it in the sky. As such, it is only natural for the person who announces his right of exclusive possession first becomes the owner, right? Well, I did need Milim’s consent as well but…… look at this!”
