Chapter 14 - I know I'm handsome!

"Sensei please don't go"

Today is the day that I suppose to leave but for some reason, the children are acting too emotionally. I didn't have any idea about how to handle these types of situations.

"Don't worry sensei will visit you after some time"

"No sensei we will not let you go"

Alice said as she hugged my leg, all the others also joined her. Of course, Kenya is acting tough. I gave all of them a hug as I look at Yuuki and nodded he nodded back in response.

"How about you all come with me to Tempest"

"Really"

Their eyes lit up after hearing my response. I already talked with Yuuki about taking them to Tempest. He will handle the rest.

"Rimuru-San I will leave all of them in your care"

"Don't worry Yuuki they all are my students as well. And here take this"

I said to him as I gave him a bracelet. I'm not sure what his real personality is or what his goal is, but what I know is that he is a Shizu-San student and it's my job to protect him. Until he didn't walk into the wrong path.

"If you destroy the crystal in the bracelet. I will appear there. Only use it in an emergency"

I explained to him as he nodded happily. A genuine smile.

"I hope you will visit Tempest someday"

I said to him as I leave the city with the children. We are going to travel on foot for a while and then I will use my skill to teleport or I will ask Veldora to give us a lift.

"So sensei why we are traveling by foot"

"Experience"

Kenya was about to complain again but I just gave him a 'friendly smile' as he closed his mouth.

It's been a while since she started to follow us but she didn't make a move so I didn't give it any mind but I had enough of it.

"Miss, I know I'm handsome but that's doesn't mean you can follow me"

I said as all the students look at me with surprise but then a girl with short black hair and sharp and cold black color eyes. And a beautiful face with soft pale skin came out from behind a tree.

"Oh. So you knew that I'm following you"

What a cold voice.

"I know the moment you started to follow me"

I replied to her equally coldly as she asked me and all the children look confused.

"I'm Hinata Sakaguchi the Chief Knight of the Imperial guard"

"So you are Hinata... The strongest knight of humanity"

I said in a mocking tone.

"Rimuru Tempest. The leader of the monster nation"

I can feel malice in her voice she didn't even bother to hide her true feeling.

"Strongest... Humanity is about to decline I think"

I indifferently said with an expressionless face and empty voice. She flinches slightly after hearing the voice, I'm not a saint I'm a Demon Lord so I will treat you just like you treat me.

"This is our first meeting but I can assure you it was our last,"

She said with a cold voice.

"Eh..?! Really but I didn't have any intention of killing you"

I can see her eyes twitch after hearing my words.

"Sensei what are you talking about"

"Hinata. Is she really Hinata"

The children look confused and excited at the same time. Only Chloe is protectively standing in front of me.

"You called yourself the leader of monsters but are hiding behind children"

What did she just say? Who is a coward here? She is pissing me off.

"Did you have a loose screw"

I asked her bluntly because she is just talking about some nonsense.

She didn't say anything, I put a barrier around kids just to be safe.

And without any warning, she launched herself at me.

'She has a big temper'

sigh, I did not have any time to play with you. Let's finish it quickly.

She tried to slash my neck but I stopped the sword with my bare hands.

"You have a nice sword. Only seven hits and I'm done. But too bad you meet me"

I said as I broke her sword with my fingers and put a barrier around her.

I noticed earlier that she is not in her best state. She is consumed by her anger I can't fight with her. It will be over too soon.

"You are not fit to fight. I will fight with you next time, I hope you clear your head until next time"

I said as I teleported children in Tempest with me. The first thing that I saw after coming to the city is. A little destroyed area and a crowd.

"Ahem. Benimaru reports me to my office and Shuna please can you show the children around. And they are going to live with me"

"Yes, Rimuru-Sama"

"And introduced them to him. Yeah and ask him to guard the children while you saw them around the city. I think he has not seen the city himself"

Shuna looked shocked after hearing the news but she quickly hide it and nodded to me. All the crowd started to disappear as some orcs came to fix the damage.

"So you are saying that Myulan betrayed Youm and the Falmuth kingdom declared a war on us"

'What a hassle!'

I'm glad that nobody got hurt but how dare they attack us. I accepted them to show some hostility but to declare war. I underestimated the greed of the king I think.

"Where is Myulan? I want to see her and Youm bring both of them here"

"Hai Rimuru-Sama"

Benimaru saluted as he leave the office. A war. Ah! It's sooner than I expected, but not something unexpected.

<>

"Please stop making me embarrassed Ciel-San"

As I was talking with Ciel-San Benimaru bring Youm and Myulan to my office.

<>

What! She looks strong to me, at least from a human view she is very strong. Who has enough power to put the curse on her?

Youm instantly bowed as he saw me as well as Myulan.

"Myulan I only have one question for you who is your master"

"...Demon Lord Clayman"

This Clayman! I'm not planning to kill him but now I have changed my mind. I will give him the worst death ever.

'Now it all makes sense why the Falmuth attack.'

But now what should I do with the human army that is approaching Tempest.

<>

And what about the rest.

<>

<>

<>

What about the remaining souls that Milim gave me. If I'm not mistaken there are almost 80k of them.

<>

So that's is the reason why was able to fight with Veldora that day.

<>

Sigh. What can I do with you? It's not like you did something wrong but still...

Ok! I will follow your plan. But first, let's remove the cursed heart from Myulan's body.

<>

"Thank you Myulan, but you have to die now. Goodbye"

I said to her coldly as I stabbed my hand inside her heart. I can see Youm is acting too emotionally, he is practically broken emotionally.

Emotions are really scary.

"What! How am I still alive"

"Oh. Clayman was wiretapping your surrounding using the heart that's why I changed it with the heart I made"

I explained to her as she looked shocked, Youm looked happy and grateful towards me. I need his help after the war. I will make him the king of Falmuth.

"Now Benimaru we are having an emergency meeting. Gather everyone in the meeting room"

I said as I teleported myself into the meeting room. After some time all the other executives enter the room. In the meeting, we discussed how to intercept the army and who will participate in the war, and many other things.

"And the last topic is Tempest needs more executives. At least three new members. Did anyone has anybody in mind"

I said to them as they all shook their head. Really! None of you has anyone worthy of being an executive. I was a little disappointed but I didn't let it show on my face.

They will cause a ruckus if they find out I'm disappointed in them.

'Ciel-San you are my last hope. Tell me you have a solution'

<>

Hmm. As I thought you are the best Ciel. I will use the human corpse as fuel to summon the demon.

With that, the meeting was over and the decision of the meeting was a little shocking.
