But what did Slime do wrong?

Imperial Pillar Tower.

Among the seven kings, the territory and residence of the first king, the "King of Gold", is located in the very center of Nanakamado.

Although the reputation is not obvious on weekdays, there is no doubt that this place is the control center of many invisible, political and economic powers of this country.

But right now, Feng Shengwu brought Limulu to the front of this pagoda.

"Wow, it's so tall."

Limulu put one hand in front of her eyes, looked up at the towering tower, and let out a cry of surprise.

As soon as they got out of the car, there were already "rabbits" in black uniforms and golden masks standing by to receive them.

"Good day, Your Excellency the Gray King and the Green King, the imperial court is already waiting for you."

The rabbit saluted them, and then led the two into the Pillar Tower.

"Then I'll follow—"

Osamu Dazai was not afraid at all, and he raised his legs to step in with him, but was stopped by the rabbit with quick eyesight and quick hands.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Rimuru, who was walking in front, turned her head and glanced this way.

"No, Your Excellency the Green King..."

The rabbit seemed in a hurry to explain something, but Limuru yawned lazily.

"My clan, can't you enter the Imperial Pillar Tower with me?"

He asked this question lightly, but the rabbits looked at each other in blank dismay.

——Actually, that is of course not aimed at Limuru. Although the kings are vaguely headed by the King of Gold, every king is a noble existence, and there is no need to face the King of Gold. Give in, or be inferior.

Therefore, when the kings came to visit the King of Gold at the Pillar Tower, their clans could of course enter the Pillar Tower and wait for their king.

There is no distinction between superior and inferior among all kings and all clans.

But Osamu Dazai was different.

[Disqualification in the World]'s supernatural ability is really against the sky, although it has been proven that it will not cause "elimination" and "distortion" effects on the power of the king and the sanctuary... But the king, there are only seven bit only.

In the field of supernatural beings other than the king, it is no exaggeration to say that Dazai's ability is completely random killing.

It would be fine if the person possessing such a dangerous ability is an ordinary person, or a person with clearly exposed weaknesses that can be easily controlled, but...

As we all know, Dazai Osamu, one of the "Double Blacks", is very wise and close to a monster. He can be regarded as an existence that the guests are afraid of just relying on his own strategy and calculations. Now he has both, which can be called a bug level. ability.

Even a golden rabbit would have some scruples about his existence.It is human nature not to want Osamu Dazai to step into the Pillar Tower.

But... what Rimuru said was not wrong.

No matter how much he rejects Osamu Dazai from entering the Pillar Tower in his heart, the other party's current identity not only represents himself, but also the clan of the Green King with impressive strength. You should also show it when you get along with each other—not to mention being respectful, at least it should be a calm and friendly attitude.

"...No, since it is your clan, it is naturally qualified to step into the Imperial Pillar Tower."

Someone among the rabbits took a step forward and said this. At the same time, he slightly tilted his head to his colleagues behind him, signaling them not to act rashly.

Even though they are the clan of gold, they are still nothing in front of the king.

"Mmmmm~"

Limulu is more or less aware that there may be other undercurrents surging under this situation, but if it is not held in front of him, then Limulu will just pretend not to know.

Without the obstruction from the rabbits, Osamu Dazai wore a smile that was too flat on his face, followed Rimuru and walked towards the Pillar Tower.

However, at the moment when he was about to step through the door, he suddenly stopped in front of a certain "rabbit".

"You—you should have seen me before, right?"

This is the same rabbit that blocked it earlier and objected to Dazai Osamu's entry into the Pillar Tower.

Rabbit's voice is as tough as his expression, and even specially processed, it is hoarse and low, the kind that will never be recognized by his usual identity: "You have misidentified the person."

The ability of the King of Gold is "Destiny". As the name suggests, it is a supernatural ability that can guide one's clan members to better utilize their talents and potential to the greatest extent.

And it is precisely because of this reason that members of the Golden Clan all have extraordinary influence in politics, economy, military, etc. This is why this ancient king can fundamentally control the country and say nothing the main reason.

However, no matter how prominent their status in the outside world is, when they put on black coats and put on golden half-faced rabbit masks, they will abandon their names and identities and become kings who run and act only for the king. rabbit.

So in the face of this kind of identification from Osamu Dazai, it is of course impossible for this "rabbit" to admit it.

"Huh? Could it be that I made a mistake?"

Osamu Dazai asked back with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, I should have been in the military and police—"

"Please be careful!"

Before Osamu Dazai was about to reveal more or other news, this rabbit suddenly raised its volume, blocking all possible words that Osamu Dazai could say afterwards.

The rabbit didn't look at Osamu Dazai, but lowered his head, and said in a low voice and quickly: "Those things don't need to be said... You can already enter the Imperial Pillar Tower with His Excellency the Green King, please don't stop Wasting time here."

Osamu Dazai didn't answer immediately, he just raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and after a while he twitched the corners of his mouth. Under the frightened gaze of this rabbit, he closed his mouth and didn't say anything more, skipped the rabbit and entered the imperial pillar among the towers.

"Oh, okay, okay, if you don't want to hear it, it's okay if I don't say it?"

He muddled up a puddle of water casually, and then left Shi Shiran, not caring about how much mess he left behind waiting for others to clean up.

This rabbit stared at the disappearing figure of Dazai Osamu, and gritted its teeth silently.

hateful!

So, how did such a scourge as Osamu Dazai survive until now!

It's not that Rimuru didn't notice the dispute between Osamu Dazai and the rabbit behind him.But because it wasn't a very important matter, and it didn't look like it would develop into a dispute, Rimuru just turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

Oh, anyway, didn't Dazai not suffer?Didn't hurt the other party either?

In this regard, Limuluke has always been protective and double-standard.

As the residence of the King of Gold, the Imperial Pillar Pagoda is a huge and tall building, and rabbits in black robes can be seen everywhere walking in the corridors.

If it weren't for the fact that they all wore such strange costumes and masks, it would almost make people think that this is some kind of government office.

As the owner of this place, the King of Gold will be stationed at the top of the Royal Pillar Tower on weekdays.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Green King has been invited to come here. Your Excellency the Gray King is also here to visit."

After being informed by the rabbit, Limulu saw an old man with white hair and beard.

He looks very old, but he is not the kind of old man who is dying and lifeless. Instead, he has a hale and hearty spirit and an aura that is not angry and majestic.

After seeing Limulu, although the old man had already prepared himself mentally, he was still secretly startled by his age, and even began to think about whether he should ask his rabbits to bring some candies up.

"The Fifth King, the Green King Rimuru Tempest."

He said solemnly.

"Hey?"

"...Don't be nervous, I don't mean to embarrass you."

The King of Gold tried his best to be more amiable and approachable.

Stopped the fall of the red sword of Damocles.

Saved thousands of lives.

Just relying on this merit, he is already worthy of the King of Gold to treat each other with sufficient respect and equal etiquette.

What's more... the King of Gold happens to know something else, something more.

About those that happened in Fuyuki.

"I specially invited you here today, just to confirm with you the division of the territory that will belong to you in the future, and at the same time tell you something that you must know after becoming a king." The King of Gold paused, "No malice, No need to be nervous."

"Oh no, I'm not nervous..."

Limuru bent his eyebrows somewhat helplessly, and then noticed behind the King of Gold.

"Is that...a slate?"

he asks.

"Yes," replied the King of Gold, "these are the Dresden Stones."

Limulu couldn't help but look at the slate a few more times, feeling her hands were itchy.

How many things did the bastard slate add to him for no reason——!Although it is said that the advent of distorted natural disasters is what he needs to do!

Be honest.

Now Limuru, very, very much, wants to get started and smash the slate.

The King of Gold looked at Feng Shengwu who came uninvited: "Feng, what is your business here today?"

"Yes, I do have very important matters, Your Majesty."

Feng Shengwu said softly.

"I want to resign as king."

He is no longer a phoenix, but a crow that cannot fly, unable to illuminate and guide others.

and so……

I want to let go of everything and get closer to the sun.
