Chapter 259 – Side chapter – Rimuru’s Elegant Escape – 03
After pondering for a while, Diablo set out without hesitation.
He hurried towards soone who certainly knew about Rimuru’s whereabouts.
And the place Diablo arrived at was the Information Control Room-in other words, Souei’s room.
As Diablo knocked, Souka answered the door and asked what business he had.
“Kufufufu. I have sothing to request of Souei-dono. I want you to convey the ssage.”
“Souei-sama is currently busy. Please co again later.”
Souka went and rejected his request straight out.
However, Diablo wouldn’t give up just like that.
“Now, now, don’t say that. Or what is it, you plan on getting rid of by force?”
Diablo enforced overwhelming intimidation while still having a smile on his face.
Souka tried to endure it even while biting into her lips and making a grim face but-
“Stop it, Diablo. If you want to co in, just co in.”
As a reposing voice ca from inside, the tense air was also lifted.
“Yes, then I shall intrude.”
And like that, as if that was the natural procedure of things, Diablo casually went in and sat down on a sofa with an air of composure.
As Diablo relaxed, a demon chevalier appeared out of nowhere and began serving on the table.
Seeing all these with a side glance, Souei coldly asked,
“What do you want?”
Diablo did not answer imdiately-he first took a sip of the black tea the demon chevalier prepared.
And then, he surveyed the room.
(Hmm. Now then, judging from his subordinate’s (Souka’s) actions, it seed like he was having so sort of a conversation with Rimuru-sama just now but-)
Souei is tight-lipped.
There was no way Diablo would get an answer if he asked normally. However, he tried going head on this ti on purpose.
Diablo decided on that after thinking a bit.
“Kufufufu. It’s simple. Where is Rimuru-sama at the mont?”
“What are you talking about? Shuna and Shion are with him.”
“Surely you jest. If it’s you-you probably know where the real Rimuru-sama is, don’t you?”
As Diablo went silent after saying that, Souei also looked at Diablo head on and went silent.
And at that mont, both of their calculations mixed.
As for Diablo, he planned on following around Souei wherever he went.
As long as Souei doesn’t confess, he just had to follow Souei around.
And Souei had accurately read Diablo’s thoughts and instantly ca to the conclusion that that would prove to be an obstacle to what he was going to do now. However, it would be difficult to say the least to get rid of Diablo and he isn’t soone Souei can deceive easily either.
“I don’t think I need to say this out loud but, you do understand that I won’t leave you until you answer , right?”
“Thought so. You won’t believe if I said I didn’t know, would you?”
“Of course I wouldn’t. There’s no way you, who is connected to Rimuru-sama physically to always be able to have contact, doesn’t know of his location, right?”
Diablo answered with a smile.
And in fact, Souei indeed was the only one who had a physical connection to Rimuru among other connection thods so that he can make contact if by chance things were to go wrong.
And that physical connection thod was a connection ford with ‘Sticky Steel String’ and ‘Shadow s.p.a.ce’.
It is an application of the string telephone thod but with this, it is possible to convey thoughts even faster than normal conversation with the help of complicated encrypted transmission.
As there are so beings who can trace communication between the subordinates who use ‘Thought Transmission’, they ca up with this a.n.a.log thod.
It is sothing Rimuru ca up with in case of the worst case scenario but Souei was supposed to be the only one who knew about it…
“How do you know of it?”
Souei was nacing.
In response to that, Diablo was still composed but, unusually enough, he laid bare his emotions. And in his beautiful face, he deepened the devil-like smile.
“Kufufufu. So it really exists? I had thought Rimuru-sama would co up with sothing like that. I didn’t feel the need for it till now so I didn’t bother but the situation calls for it now so I had to confirm it.”
‘He got ’-was what Souei thought.
To fall for a leading question-an unlikely miss for Souei.
However, it wasn’t just a miss on Souei’s part, it was also the result of Diablo’s skillful ‘Thought Guidance’.
Souei wouldn’t have fallen for it under normal circ.u.mstances but the situation was different this ti.
Souei was in no situation to have a prolonged conversation with Diablo-he needed to act imdiately.
As such, he fell for it due to a slight impatience.
Souei clicked his tongue and sunk in his chair.
“You will have to cooperate as well then, is that fine?”
“Yes, of course.”
Souei asked Diablo with a sour expression, to which Diablo replied with a satisfied nod.
And like this, Diablo and Souei began to cooperate and move accordingly.
Giving up on trying to evade Diablo, Souei decided to insert him into the plan.
“Co in.”
As soon as Diablo accepted, Souei called out to the next room as they didn’t have much ti.
“Hahhahha, Souei-han still has ways to go, huh? Being completely trapped by Diablo-han like that.
