[BOOK 3] That Time I Traveled as a Demon Lord: TENMA WAR

Chapter 3 - Gaia

Rimuru Tempest's POV

「Well, well, well. Leon, care to explain? 」

I asked.

「It's as you see」

He said, with a look of "don't you get it?"

I do get it~!

I wanted to scream at him,
But...

「I want to hear it from you」

I responded with a smile.

Did I just see a vein pop on his head?

Is this silent gentleman mad at me??

「We too like to hear an explanation. Of course, in grand detail, Leon. 」

Wonderfully timed, Ruminas has appeared.

She dropped from the sky with her seven sages.

Seems like Leon sent for Ruminas as well.

And she actually came to help!?

She actually came when called by a person she barely knows?

「Hmph. So you came. I thought I could handle that human Yuuki. My bad, I let him get away. I underestimated him」

Leon confessed when we both pressed on.

But before he explained what had occurred.

In the midst of gouged earth and rotting forests, an elegant tea set.

The Seven Sages began preparing tea.

As Ruminas was lying relaxed on a sofa they set, and Leon was sitting in an elegant chair.

Hey... just how comfortable are you going to get?

「Please, here」

A sage with a young voice directed me into a comfortable chair.

And I sat.

It was really comfy.

What a fine chair it is.

Another sage was fanning Ruminas.

Our tea party would have seemed eerie to onlookers, but I guess I shouldn't mind it.

「Well then, explain」

Ruminas said, and Leon began explaining.

In short, after my visit Leon decided to attack Yuuki alone.

And the result is as we see here.

Apparently, Karma also decided to show up and help him.

As much to my annoyance...

He didn't come home first!

。。。

There are two reasons why Leon didn't invite us.

He underestimated Yuuki and didn't want to reveal his power.

「In other words, if we fought together would you fight at full strength?」

I had trouble responding to Leon's question.

「Why, of course we would. We trust thee」

Ruminas responded with a smile.

What a blatant lie.

Wait, weren't monsters unable to lie?!

I remember that our existence gets erased or something like that
