Chapter 162 Reward and Evolution Part 1

70のをさせた。

It’s now the second day after I revived the 700,000 soldiers of the Empire’s forces .

のテンペストのではであったので、にれ

だけのをめのをすにした。

Since there wasn’t sufficient space in the grand hall of Tempest, I gathered my subordinates in the battle arena to test out the evolution ritual .

これはをしたもねている。

This will also serve as the rewards for repelling the empire’s armies .

のである。

It’s also a victory celebration of sorts .

の、はなのでをめるにもいかないのだが、はだ。

Actually, since the war hasn’t ceased yet we shouldn’t let down our guards, but it’ll be an exception this time .

というもある。

This is also for the sake of improving soldier Morales .

のもせし、のはにめくされていた。

The Ten Lords of the Labyrinth also made their formal appearances, and the battle arena’s jam-packed with soldiers .

まあ、のに、のであるはんでいない。

Oh, for confidentiality, the human volunteers, the adventurers weren’t invited .

――ラビリガドとするになった――も、だににりんだままだ。

The city around the Dungeon――the fact it’s now named Labyrinth-Gard――hasn’t been conveyed into the inside of the dungeon yet .

はちもえられるので、のである。

This is in consideration of the fact we may face surprise attacks during a war, it’s for the sake of caution .

ラビリガドにはをるをしていなかった。がすれば、にするをみむである。

The barrier stones haven’t been implemented into the surroundings of Labyrinth-Gard . Once the war is over I plan to perform a defensive ritual targeting wide-scale attack spells .

、がにっていないので、これはがいなのだ。

Due to present situations, there isn’t enough time to implement any defenses, but it can’t be helped .

もっとも、がないだけで、なんかはになっている。

Although the dungeon can’t be explored at the moment, food ingredients can still be traded .

はなのだ。

Other than the adventurers, business is going as usual .

のさんは、ラビリガドにってい、となっている。

The volunteer soldiers have returned to Labyrinth-Gard, currently on standby in their own homes .

マサユキやアルノーとったのだけを、としてをしているであったのだ。

Only a section of individuals such as Masayuki and Arnaud were allowed to participate as representatives .

ともかく、とをえる。

Anyways, rewards and commendations were given .

ついでに、へのをすのだ。

Incidentally, I also experimented on the Demon Lord Ascension .

のは２〜３、(ハーベストフェスティバル)のでしたのだが、ならばもいない。

My evolution took 2~3 days, my level of activity has dropped due to the effects of Harvest Festival, however at the moment the empire’s armies aren’t here .

TN Note: , Harvest Festival is the term used by the author to describe the evolution of a monster into a demon lord, probably because they harvested a load of souls for this .

は３でルミナスのにりそうだが、をしているようで２はのだろう。

It would seem the airship corps would take 3 days to fly around the back of The Holy Empire Ruberion’s territory, but after adjusting their advancement speed, they would hit open seas in 2 days .

くでしたは１となるだろうけど、どうもがきくはしかたないとのだった。

When flying near supersonic speeds, they could reduce travel time by 1 day . However, magic consumption was immense, and they could only maintain their top speed for a short amount of time .

こので、のがあるだけでもなので、ぎるとはう。

In this world, the ability to move at supersonic speeds is quite a threat, so I think a short amount of time is enough .

しろでも、400kmはるらしく、やなどはにならないをしているのだから。

In any case, since the average speed for an airship is about 400km/h, when compared to a ship or a train this is pretty fast .

そういうで、がいタイミングともえるのである。

That’s why, you can say this is good timing .

はだったけど、にいがるもある。

It was an overwhelming victory this time, but the possibilities of a strong adversary lurking in the midst of the enemies still exist .

ユウキがてきても、でそうなのは、ディアブロやベニマルくらいのもの。

If Yuuki appeared, among all of my executives the only ones who could deal with him would probably be either Diablo or Benimaru .

にしすれば、のきえによるをけて、をわれてしまうもあるのだ。

If they messed up badly, there would be the risk of being dominated effect due to the information overwriting over the soul, resulting in the possibility of having a subordinate

のきえにしては、ラファエルがプロテクトをしたらしい。

Regarding the information overwrite on the soul, Wisdom King Raphael seem to provide protection against it .

しかし、なしかないとわれる。

However, I think it’s probably only a temporary effect .

ユウキのをにていれば、にだとうのだが、

しかないはしぎるのはなのだ。

I think it’s possible to set up a perfect defense against it if I directly saw Yuuki’s ability, but at the moment this is only a conjecture so overconfidence is very dangerous .

によるなのげは、いざというにえてののつもりなのである。

The improvement of overall abilities through the Demon Lord ascension will serve as insurance for those “oh shit moments” .

TN Note: well, raw says emergencies, but ah who cares, love gato-san’s interpretation better .

が、したで、ユウキにしをきえられるとしても、ぎはとなるであろう。

Perchance, even if my subordinates were still defeated after they ascended and their souls were rewritten, it’s still possible for them to stall for time .

とにに、しめるというであった。

The plan is to contact me in the event of a chance encounter, commence a pincer attack with me and finish him off .

ラファエルのでは、きえにするだけならばないとのだったが、にはをれておきたいのだった。

According to Wisdom King Raphael’s prediction there would be no problems in resisting the rewrite; even so I still want to be extremely cautious though .

(TN: This… . whole…paragraph…kill…me…please… . . )

にするのは、ベニマルである。

Naturally, Benimaru was the first to be nominated .

として、のをにこなしてくれた。

As supreme commander of the army, he commanded the troops wonderfully .

がれてしになったもあったのだが、にはない。

There was a situation where a demon went wild and wrecked everything, but that’s not a problem .

らしいきであったとえるだろう。

You could probably even call it a job well done .

「よし、ではベニマル。からもになれるかもれないぞ？」

“Alright then, Benimaru . Do you know as of today you might even become a demon lord?

「をっているんですか、リムル？」

“What are you saying, Rimuru-sama?”

シュナがののいのを、にけてしてくれている。

Shuna is currently giving a speech to all the soldiers with words of appreciation for this battle .

(TN: And for some reason, literally just cuts off from their conversation into the actions of the other Executives…Whyyyy are you so confusing?!?!?!?!?!?)

のだときし、をみげてくれているのだ。

With my words as the introduction, she read a script out loud

そのをえたのはではなく、シュナなのだが、かいはどうでもい。

Naturally it wasn’t me who came up with the manuscript . It was Shuna, but let’s not mind the small details .

(TN: Rimuru turning into a politician with his speeches being written for him? Wait wut, did I translate this correctly?)

TN Note: Loads of politicians do that . You translated it correctly .

は、やのをにえてしまい、はでのにむになっている。

Recently, techniques relating to fabrics and sewing have been completely passed down; Shuna herself has been allocating her time for her hobbies .

なので、のとしてのがいのだ。

Even so, she spends a lot of her time as my secretary .

シオンは、をっているのだが、ののにしい。

At the moment Shion was listed as my chief bodyguard as well as my chief secretary but is currently busy training her subordinates .

ここはシュナがメインとなって、のとしてのをこなしてくれていた。

Thus recently it was mainly Shuna who was handling the work of being my secretary .

そういうで、シュナがしているにとベニマルのはく。

That’s why, while Shuna was giving a speech the conversation between Benimaru and I continued .

「いや、をしたろ？　あれでへのがらしいのだよ」

“Well, we acquired some souls didn’t we? It seems it’s possible to ascend to a demon lord using them . ”

「いてないぞ？」

“Why haven’t I heard about this?”

「え？　だってったし？」

“Oh? Didn’t I just explained abut it?”

めうとベニマル。

I and Benimaru locked eyes .

ってなかったのはかっただろうか？

I wonder was it distasteful for me to not tell him beforehand?

いや、かしいをける、とかはったがする。

No, I’m pretty positive I’ve already told him I would be

granting him new powers .

「、をけるとはっておいただろ？」

“For the moment, I did say I’ll bestow power toyou ?”

「いやいやいや、、とかそういうじのモノだとうだろ！？」

No no no, wouldn’t one usually think it would be some kind of weapon!?

「むむむ、そうわれればそうかもれないが……

でもまあ、してらないだろ？」

“Mu mu mu, If you say so it might be but…

But you know, there wouldn’t be much change right?”

「わるだろ！」

“there will be!”

びめうが、はベニマルがめたようにをついたではけた。

We once again locked eyes with each other, the stare was broken this time by Benimaru’s sigh as he gave up .

どうやらをめたらしい。

He seems to have decided to prepare himself .

めただけかもれないが、したいはいだろう。

You may have resigned yourself to this, but I’m sure there won’t be any significant differences .

「だけじゃないんだろ？　どうえているんです？」

“It’s not just me right? What are you thinking?”

いである。

Good question .

のは、やが10になった、ののてにギフトがけられた。

In my case, my magic essence and my magic increased 10 folds, and everyone soul-linked to me was bestowed a blessing .

はどうなるのかだが、きくがすはいない。

It’s unknown how it will turn out this time, but it’s certain that he will drastically increase in power .

だが、のにいヤツがるだが、のをしたらにくなるのだろうか？

But, this guy was stronger than I was before I ascended, if he underwent the same evolution wouldn’t he be stronger than I am now?

そういうもあるのはであった。

To be honest I feel a sense of anxiety .

、のがるとはえないが、にりされてするとかはない。

Basically, I don’t think my follower will betray me, but the possibility of them unable to control their powers and go berserk couldn’t be denied .

にヴェルドラもるけど、のがすると――というか、――なになる。

Although Veldora is nearby, someone of my level going berserk ――or rather an unreasonable level――would be a serious matter .

なのでずはづつ、にをしながらのをうのだ。

Hence I’ll start off with performing the evolution ritual on only one individual to make an absolute confirmation .

そういうをし、ベニマルもしたようだ。

I explained the circumstances to Benimaru and he seemed to have understood .

そして、にしないとした。もしいである。

And, he boasted he would definitely not go berserk . What a reliable thing to say .

シュナのもわったので、するにしよう。

As Shuna’s speech ended, I quickly tried to reward him .

「の、くいてくれた！　から”(フレアロード)”をるがいい！」

“You have done well in this battle! You will be known as

“Wrathful King(Flare Lord)” from today on!

(TN: Changed from Angry to Rageful)

TN Note: changed from Rageful to wrathful, I felt the latter had more impact

「はは！　りきせ！！」

“Haha! I am thankful for this blessing!!”

をする。

The ceremony was performed .

はフレンドリーでも、にのではなのだ。

He was usually friendly, but as expected before his soldiers he was their supreme commander .

ベニマルはそういうのはであった。

Benimaru has perfectly differentiated between public and private .

とは、しいりの。

Wrathful, it meant extreme anger .

はさをし、かにりをるようになったベニマルだが、そのはしい。

Benimaru was usually impatient, but now he could calmly control his anger, his nature is like that of a raging fire .

にえる（）のとして、これしいもあるまい。

As one of the (demon) lords who serve me, there is no better name than this .

(TN: Uhhh……… . . 10 dollars on someone finding a better name than him?)

TN Note:  actually means demon king, I don’t even know why we call them demon lords in English instead, but in the raw it fits pretty well .

つというか、になるのか？

So, would this be a second name, or a rank?

(TN: Beats me, you already have a storyline that’s more complicated than Legend of Zelda)

《。[:10]をして、：ベニマルのをいますか？ YES/NO 》

<>

YES、だ。

YES .

それをするとに、はのから、10のをベニマルにった。

When I had commemorated him, I have also simultaneously sent 100,000 souls from the corridor of souls to Benimaru .

されるとに、ベニマルのが――しなかった。

Once the souls were awarded, Benimaru’s evolution ―――― had not begun .

なし。

There was no change .

あれえ、か？

hmm, did it fail?

「どうやら、もうつがあるようだ……

これは、ののだ。

にものがこえた。

どうも、からにするようなんだが、がれなくなるらしい。

がくなるので、をるもなくなるみたいだな。

の、のおさとしてのをえないと、ないみたいだ……」

“There seems to be another condition… .

This problem, seemed to be on my end .

I heard the voice of the world .

It seems, procreation becomes impossible after evolving from an Ogre to a Demon Lord .

Because the concept of life span would disappear, the ability to make a child does not seem necessary .

“Regretfully, until i complete my job as the leader of my species, I cannot complete the evolution… . ”

「……つまり、らないとしないのか？」

“… . In other words, you wouldn’t evolve unless you bear kin?”

(TN: …Okay . . )

TN Note: Big thx to lion san for the pun idea XD, in all honesty thought, he alongside his kin are the last ogres, so it’s justified .

「う、む……。そういうだな」

“U,mu…that’s how it is . ”

めうとベニマル。

Benimaru and I locked eyes again .

はくめうだが、はのがにい。

There were a lot of stare downs today, but my gaze was

overwhelmingly stronger .

(TN: Why did I translate this?… . . )

ベニマルはまずそうにをがせている。

Feeling uncomfortable, Benimaru’s eyes started to sway .

(TN: Lemme, go grab a chair and some rope . . Okay I’ll be quiet now…)

をめろよ、ベニマル。

“You better be resoluted, Benimaru . ”

(TN: WHY,HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?!?!? Okay for real this time, I’ll be quiet . )

さくそういて、

I whispered silently,

「モミジ、へてい！　おとベニマルのをめる！！」

“Momiji, come forth! I hereby recognize the binding of souls between you and Benimaru!”

でした。

I declared with a loud voice .

ベニマルはをっにさせてき、しかしそのにはみがまれている。

Benimaru looked down with his bright red face, however, a smile is engraved onto his mouth .

しかったのか。

You look pretty happy .

をっているには、なである。

Although he seemed like a hardliner, he was a pure man at heart .

いじゃないよ、そういうの。だが、はだから、っておいたらいつまでたってもだろう。

I didn’t dislike this, but if I left him alone, he’ll end up single till the end .

……ま、まあ、ものはえないんだがね。

… . We-well, I am in no position to judge others about such things though .

(TN: What, because you’re forever a virgin?)

TN Note: does he even have a virginity to begin with?

シュナはできにをめ、しかししそうにをするつもりのようだ。

Shuna looking surprised had widened her, but it seems she intends to bless her older brother .

をめくす、とのにまれて、ベニマルとモミジはをげた。

The arena echoed with blessings and outcries of jealosuy, Benimaru and Momiji received congratulatory words .

まあ、はだけだけど、このというののがしたら、ベニマルのもげねばなるまい。

Well, it is only an announcement now, but after the ascension ceremony that was our victory celebration in name ended, I’m going to have to host Benimaru’s marriage .

せそうなベニマルとモミジはにがらせて、シュナにだけじ。

Benimaru and Momiji seemed happy, After I told them to come off the stage I ordered Shuna to prepare .

モミジはしそうににし、ベニマルにくっついてにがる。

Momiji bowed down joyfully to me and left clinging to Benimaru .

くはりまなかったが、がをげるでようやくかになった。

The cheers did not stop sounding for a while, once I raised my hand the cheers finally silenced .

がつかえていなければそのままっていたいのだが、はをしておきたい。

When there isn’t time later on, I’d like to bless them just as it is, but for now this ceremony takes priority .

わぬハプニングだったが、にはがあるので、ききするにした。

It was an unexpected incident, but I had time to spare, so we continued our progress .

いて、ゴブタだ。

Consequently, it was Gobuta .

にがったゴブタに、

Gobuta went up onto the platform .

「おには、はない！」

“For you, no reward!”

そういった。

So it was declared .

「ええ！？　いっすよ！　じゃあ、でここまでんだんすか？」

“EH!? That’s terrible-tsu!  Then why did you call me up here?”

「いだ。おにははいが、のわりにつ、をやろう」

“That’s a good question . There is no reward for you, but instead I’m going to bestow you a right”

「っすか？」

“A right-tsu?”

のにするゴブタだったが、くのがないのか、したである。

Gobuta was confused, unable to fully understand the meaning of my words; he had a confused expression on his face .

というのにがいのか？

Does he have no confidence in the words ‘right’?

ったようなのゴブタをニヤリとめ、

I look at Gobuta’s confused expression with a broad grin .

「おはにし、”のままのでにする”、をくれてやる！」

“You are given the right to “converse in a casual tone” with me!

TN Note: Basically Rimuru is telling Gobuta he can talk casually with the king of Tempest as he would with his pals, which he already does to be honest .

そうした。

So I declared .

このに、ほどのベニマルにするのにったようながゴブタにがれた。

With these words, an even louder outcry of jealously even greater than the previous one towards Benimaru was aimed towards Gobuta .

TN Note: Rimuru still best waifu, they get more jealous of someone talking to her casually than someone marrying momiji…

シオンやシュナまでも、ろしいでゴブタをしている。

Even Shion and Shuna, were staring at Gobuta with scary gazes .

よっぽどましいようだ。

They seem to be jealous .

というか、はにしてもいとっているのだが、なかなかしいらしい。

Or rather, I usually told them they could converse with me in a casual tone, but they looked like they were having difficulties .

そんな、にするゴブタへのが、ていたのだそうだ。

Meanwhile, there were plenty of complaints given to Gobuta for being given the right to talk casually .

くさいので、””としてめるにした。

Because it was troublesome, I decided to recognize it as a “right” .

そもそも、このはみたいなもので、にするがいではいだろうし。

After all, this tone is something like a dialect, it doesn’t mean they’re being disrespect to me .

をればわかるよ。

It’s clear when I looked into his eyes .

ゴブタはのなら、すらもわぬというをしていた。

Gobuta had eyes that didn’t even mind death for my sake .

、でお、クラスにえるものでもないだろう。はしていないのだし。

Fundamentally, you wouldn’t give medals of honor or money to a general class, they wouldn’t need it .

をえるにも、どうせないだろうしがい。

Giving a territory would probably also be meaningless since they can’t govern it anyways .

も、ランガとヘンシンするからないし、かなりんだのだ。

As for weapons and armor, since he had Ranga as well as their union skill it also wasn’t necessary, so I was troubled in finding the proper reward .

まあ、だだとあるのかもれないけど、にそこまでしいはない。

Well,  honor and authority were options, a system of formality wasn’t necessary for us monsters though .

はのやりたいようにするだけである。

I just do what I want to do .

ゴブタはしそうに、

Gobuta seemed joyful,

「あざーーーっす！！」

“Thank you very much-tsu!!!!!”

(Alfha Robby: This can also be translated as AZA-tsu (Arigatou GoZAimasu) Courtesy to The Mysterious Lion MAsk for this Line . )

と、90におして、にえた。

Afterwards, he bowed to me in a 90 degree angle and waited in line .

びである。

It’s delightful not having to deal with the formalities .

らく、でもをそうとしていたのだろう。はくていなかったけどな。

He was probably also trying to fix his tone . However it didn’t seem to work .

ゴブタにとってはよりのであったようで、もしい。

That seemed to be the best reward for Gobuta, for that I too am happy .

なとは、にしいものなのである。

Finding the appropriate reward was truly difficult .

さて、ゴブタとえば、はランガだ。

By the way, speaking of Gobuta, Ranga is next .

ランガをぶと、のからかにれた。

As I called for him, he silently emerged from my shadow .

「ランガ、くゴブタをけてくれた。をう。

さて、からおは、”(スターロード)”をれ！」

“Ranga, you’ve been a great help to Gobuta . I give you my thanks .

Well, from today on, you may call yourself “Star Wolf Lord(Star Lord)!”

ランガはし、した。

Ranga gave a bellowing roar, and accepted it .

そしてのをう。ランガはベニマルとい、にがした。

And then I began the Ascension Ritual . Unlike Benimaru, Ranga immediately began evolving .

とに(ハーベストフェスティバル)もまったらしい。

Like what happened to me, the Harvest Festival has begun .

ぐにののにし、りにつかせる。らく、のも、にギフトをけているだろう。

Ranga immediately went back into my shadow and fell asleep . Perhaps, his star wolf subordinates will also receive a blessing gift from him .

、どうなっているかにしみである。

Whatever happens to him after his evolution is sure to be great .

ランガのはいらなかったようだ。

Ranga running out of control didn’t seem like it was something that we needed to worry about .

なくのにり、ランガはりについた。

Safely back in my shadow, Ranga went back to sleep .

ガビルをぶ。

I called forth Gabil .

３をいて、なをじてくれた。

With the third army air corps, he performed an excellent aerial dogfight .

いのをけると、ガビルはに、

When I gave him my words of appreciation, Gabil meekly,

「まだまだでした。

のでもしてしまいましたし……

はまだまだです。

『』をいこなせるように、するです！」

“There’s still a lot to improve upon .

People were injured by my command… . ”

I still have a lot to improve upon .

For the sake of using 『Dragon warriorization』 freely, we’re willing to put in the effort!”

そうえた。

He answered so .

はいようだ。

He seems to be determined .

えば、にってランガのにけていたがかしい。

I felt nostalgic, I remembered the time when he got defeated by one of Ranga’s subordinates when going with the flow .

にりやすいもではちいて、のをめるのとなっている。

His tendencies to get cocky has settled down, he has become an experienced general who can perceive his surroundings .

はあったようだし、のとベスターとのをじて

ではさもにけていた。

Through experiencing defeat and communicating with Bester and co, His original prudent quality has surfaced .

ではれるなのである。

He’s an existence that can be relied on now .

「おに””をける。

いこなし、”(ドラグロード)”としてしてせろ」

“I will grant you “power” .

You have managed the army wonderfully, “Heavenly Dragon King (Dragon Lord)” awaken and show me your powers . ”

The souls were given and the ascension has begun .

をえ、をす。

ガビルのはだった。

The evolution of Gabil was dramatic .

のがにし、えるようにエネルギーがガビルのをけっている。

His scales turned from blackish purple to reddish purple, magic essence energy wrapped around his body as if he was burning .

しかし、『』をしてせたそのにより、をすをこすはかった。

However, with the same conviction he used to control 『Dragon warriorization』, he didn’t went berserk .

にガビルはえてせたのだ。

Gabil endured the evolution wonderfully .

「うぉおおおお！　からは”(ドラグロード)”をらせていますぞ！

そのにも、このの、いこなすのである！」

“Uooooo~! From today onwards, I will be known as “Heavenly Dragon Lord”!

For that, I will master this level of strength!”

がり、ガビルのがのエネルギーによりきがれる。

Purple electricity discharged about, Gabil’s body appeared as if it was burned by energy .

したようだ。

It seemed to have succeeded .

ランガはににりりについたのだが、ガビルはこのでをさせたようだ。

Ranga went into my shadow and fell asleep immediately, but in his place I got to see Gabil’s successful evolution .

ガビルのギフトは、100のヒリュウとソーカ５がくけいだようだ。

As for the blessing gift from Gabil, 100 Hiryuu as well as

The 5 individuals of Souka and co .

(TN: There’s a 5 of something ソーカ translates to sōka in Romanji . I think they’re the female ninjas in Souei’s grop? Would greatly appreciate the help . )

TN Note: Yes they are, actually it was “the 5 individuals consisting of Souka and co, and there’s actually some males amongst them .

(ブルーナンバーズ)の(リザードマン)3,000もをけて、ドラゴニュートにした。

The 3,000 lizardman from the Blue Corps were affected by the blessing as well and evolved into Dragonnewts .

ソーカ５はアークデーモンにじるさになったようだ。

The 5 individuals of Souka and co had attained strength equivalent to Arc Demons .

(ヒリュウ)もクラス。Ａランクのをにえたようである。

The Hiryuu folks had reached Majin class, and well surpassed A rank .

から『』のとなっているようなもので、スキルそのものもえた。

The skill “Dragon Warriorization” seems to have disappeared since they’ve evolved into the very thing itself .

わりに、『』というスキルにて、のをにまできげるをにけていた。

In its place, they seem to have acquired the ability 『Dragon Scale Armor』 instead, an ability that turns their scales into armor .

ガビルなど、でもレジェンドのなのに、そのはゴッズにいまでねがる。

Gabil and the rest already had defenses that were equal to Legendary class, but using this new ability would their defenses jump to be close to god class .

、だけではなくもするだ。

Naturally, not only did their defensive power rise, their offensive power rose as well .

は(ドラゴニュート)のままであるが、なのである。

Their race remained as DragonNewts but they received a drastic increase in power .

ソーカ、もからがい。はのようななのだが、せずともをけたに、がのようにするのだ。

Souka and co, the females too had defensive power that was higher than usual . They’re appearance is usually like a human being’s, but if they were their skin would unconsciously change into scales .

TN Note: If case anyone forget, the female dragonewts have a human-like form since they desired it, but the males looked like winged lizardman since they find no need for a human form .

らくだが、『』をすると、のけはなくなりそうである。

Perhaps, when using “Dragon Scale Armor” the distinction between males and females may become impossible .

のも、がって、のにっている。

Through time, the reddish-purple scales had gradually faded back to their original blackish-purple .

だが、よりもきとみがしており、をわせるまでししていた。

But, the brightness as well as depth within the scales have been increased compared to before, it had obsidian-like artistic quality .

でもでされそうだ。まあ、はがるだろうし、そんなむもないのだけど。

Even one piece of the scale seemed to fetch a high price . Well they’ll probably dislike it though, so there’s no point asking .

しかし、をれとったからか、ガビルのからながえていた。

However, because I called Gabil a king, splendid horns had protruded from his forehead .

ガビルのになほど、よくえる。だが、それでいいのだ。

Due to Gabil’s conceited air, it complemented him well . But, that’s all good .

“(ドラグロード)”にしく、とをねえたなであった。

This was suitable for a “Heavenly Dragon Lord”, he had an excellent evolution that united power with dignity .

ののようにりにつくまでもなく、はした。

Unlike my evolution, he completed his evolution without the need to sleep .

ののとしてしい、”ドラグロード”がしたのである。

He was quite suitable to be the king of my subordinates, “Heavenly Dragon Lord” was born .

いて、にてにわったである。

Next, the people who participated in the capital defensive battle on the surface .

ゲルド、シオン、ディアブロの３だ。

These three were Gerudo, Shion and Diablo .

のはさそうだが、のにずつさせよう。

There doesn’t seem to be any danger of them going berserk, but just to be safe we’ll do it one by one .

いのをけ、””をける。

I will give out my words of appreciation and grant “power” to them .

ずはゲルド。

Starting off with Gerudo .

ところが、

However,

「りきしですが、よりもがるかと……

のの、のサポートとしてリムルがけてさった、カレラに。

がなければ、はよりしいものとなっていたでしょうから」

“I am thankful for the proposal, but isn’t there a person more qualified than I am? ……

In this defense, Rimuru-sama assigned Carrera-san as my support .

If she wasn’t there, the defensive battle would have been a lot more difficult”

のによるへのをしてた。

He declined the awakening to Demon Lord with the power of his spirit .

それはだが、オーク・ディザスターのがのつなのだろう。

It’s just a gest, but the rampage of the Orc demon lord Orc・Disaster was probably another reason .

TN Note: Orc disaster was the orc that led the orc army against the lizardman and destroyed most of the ogres, but was eventually defeated by Rimuru early on .

ゲルドがするはいだろう。しかし、としてはがえないのだ。

Gerudo probably wouldn’t run out of control . However, I can’t clear away his uneasiness .

それに、いのもあるのだろう。

Besides, this is probably also a form of atonement .

あののにより、ジュラのになるをきらしたのをうとしての。

He was a person that once carried the responsibility of spreading calamity within the Great Jura Forest when they were out of control .

そのはいをめていており、をってをていた。

His eyes shone with a strong will and unbending determination .

「わかった。では、なるをって、しきをげるようめ。

ただし、がだったのはいない。

おのきは、にだった。より、もでしてうになるしな。

“I understand . Then strive harder, in order to perform a suitably distinguish military service .

However, there is no denying that the defense battle was splendidly executed .

Your work was without a doubt, wonderful . Above all, from now on you will be playing an active role in the construction of the city .

は、これをけよう。そして、から”(バリアロード)”をるがいい！」

This time, I will grant this to you . From today on, you will be known as “Barrier Lord”!”

TN Note: The Kanji meant something like Guardian conqueror .

そうって、した(レジェンド)をがカスタムしたものをりして、ゲルドにけた。

After saying so, I took out the remodeled legendary ranked equipment that I attained during the war, and granted it to Gerudo .

これはゲルドのにしてざり、ゲルドとなる。

There was a mixed response in Gerudo’s Youki; this piece of equipment will be Gerudo’s private arms .

ゴッズとレジェンドのいは、そのもののレベル。

The difference between Myth class and Legend class is based on the user’s own level of skillfulness with the arms .

がいをて、するのだ。しかし、がれている、のがにする。

The arms would constantly evolve over time . However, the speed of the evolution rises incredibly when it’s wielded by a skillful owner .

ゲルドはのなので、レジェンドであってもぐにゴッズにががるだろうとしていた。

Because Gerudo’s ability is specialized in defense, even if it’s legendary class equipment, his defensive power will probably rival a god rank, that’s what I predicted .

きなもしてあり、にのがめるだろう。

The big shield was prepared for him, I expect defensive power would further increase .

ゲルドはしくをけり、にする。

Gerudo received the rewards respectfully and bowed to me .

「かにりました！　この”バリアロード”、にじぬようにしましょうぞ！」

“I gratefully accept! I’ll devote myself to living up to this new title “Barrier Lord”!

ゲルドはすると、にぶ。

Gerudo declared, and went back into line .

ではさせるのはがりない。なので、はゲルドのいをけれよう。

Under present conditions, I don’t have enough souls to awaken everyone . So I’ll accept Gerudo’s response this time .

だが、のにはオーク・ディザスターのなどりって、としていたいものだ。

But, you should forgive yourself for going out of control back then; forget all about it during the next opportunity . I want you to ascend magnificently .

(TN: Remember the Orcs resorting to cannibalism and eating everything? Yeah . )

もうも、ゲルドをのでるなどいのだから。

Nobody’s shunning Gerudo for what happened in the past anymore .

のゲルドのがあったけれど、りのはするだろう。

Though the refusal by Gerudo was unexpected, the remaining two people will probably accept it .

しろ、シオンにディアブロだしな。

After all, it’s Diablo and Shion .

のとってもいい。

You could even call them the evilest Individuals .

TN Note:  may mean misfortune, but it could also mean evil, something that causes widespread chaos and destruction, and so on .

このがにれだしたら、はなものになりそうだ。

If these two people run out of control at the same time, there will be some serious damage .

ベニマルならばそうってしそうだが、はしていなかった。

If it was Benimaru, I would be cautious, but I wasn’t worried .

シオンはにるようになっているし、ディアブロからいもいないだろう。

Shion already has some self control now; but Diablo isn’t exactly unlinked to rampaging though .

というで、ずはシオンである。

And so, we begin with Shion .

「シオン、おは”(ウォーロード)”にずる。

より、するなくをってくれ」

“Shion, I appoint you as “War Lord” .

Henceforth, please protect everyone without going berserk . ”

そういながら、をけた。

While saying so, I granted her the souls .

のだが、あれえ？　くなし。

But, huh? There was no change .

シオンもキョトンとしてをている。

Shion was blankly staring at me .

くめったがのしもかった。

We stared at each other for a while, but there was no indication of change .

、か？

A dud?

こうなると、をえてないようにわれて、にまずい。

As a result, it seemed as though as if I didn’t reward Shion, well this is awkward .

いきなりピンチにってしまった。しろ、にもしていないのだ。

I have suddenly fallen into quite a pinch . In any case, I haven’t prepared anything else

どうしたものかとったが、ながきていた。

That was what I thought, but something unexpected happened .

シオンにはのもかったのに、(ヨミガエリ)がしたのだ。

Although there were no changes in Shion, the members of Yomigaeri suddenly started to evolve .

がだからないが、シオンのだし、こういうもあるのだろう。にはながいので、いてもいられない。

Although I don’t understand, since these are Shion’s subordinates, things like this will probably happen . Because monsters have a lot of strange quirks and features, you shouldn’t be surprised by every single one of them .

そういうで、シオンはでさそうだ。

That’s why, leaving Shion alone is a good idea .

シオンはそうだったが、でのレシピをえてやるとくと、そうにいてにんだ。

Shion seemed to be dissatisfied, but after whispering to her about being taught the recipe for the latest dish, she nodded in satisfaction and went back into line .

いやすいヤツである。

She was easy to handle .

しかし、シオンのである(ヨミガエリ)。

However, there’s still Shion’s subordinates the folks of Yomigaeri .

のようなじになっている。(デーモン)とはう、らくはとでもえばだろうか。

They seemed to have turned some half-spirit life forms . Rather than calling them a demon, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them a Yoma .

にい、なにしたようだ。

It seems that they’ve evolved into a kind of unique race that resembles spirits

TN Note: Not spirits as in dead people, but more like spirits as in Tree spirits (Dryads) and Fire Spirits (Ifrit) .

をしつつ、デーモンにい。

They possessed bodies, but their existences were closer to demons .

ヒリュウよりエネルギーはいし、もそうなのだが……

They had lower magic essence compared to the Hiryuu, they also seemed to have lower defensive power as well .

をすれば、どちらがいかしいである。

If you considered their immortality trait, it would be difficult to determine who’s the stronger one .

はホブゴブリンだったのに、ではにだった。

Though they were formerly part of the hobgoblin race, they’re completely different now .

シオンのオニのがよりくれたようで、にべてがい。

Since Shion’s ogre traits had greatly surfaced, they also look more becoming than the others .

ゴブリンだったとっても、もじないだろう。

Nobody would believe that her subordinates were goblins in the past .

シオンにがかったのはではあるが、はきたのだろう。

It’s unexpected that there were no changes in Shion, but evolution has in fact occurred .

こんなじに、はいていったのだ。

In this sense, the victory celebration continued .

162　と その１

Chapter 162 Reward and Evolution Part 1

70のをさせた。

It’s now the second day after I revived the 700,000 soldiers of the Empire’s forces .

のテンペストのではであったので、にれ

だけのをめのをすにした。

Since there wasn’t sufficient space in the grand hall of Tempest, I gathered my subordinates in the battle arena to test out the evolution ritual .

これはをしたもねている。

This will also serve as the rewards for repelling the empire’s armies .

のである。

It’s also a victory celebration of sorts .

の、はなのでをめるにもいかないのだが、はだ。

Actually, since the war hasn’t ceased yet we shouldn’t let down our guards, but it’ll be an exception this time .

というもある。

This is also for the sake of improving soldier Morales .

のもせし、のはにめくされていた。

The Ten Lords of the Labyrinth also made their formal appearances, and the battle arena’s jam-packed with soldiers .

まあ、のに、のであるはんでいない。

Oh, for confidentiality, the human volunteers, the adventurers weren’t invited .

――ラビリガドとするになった――も、だににりんだままだ。

The city around the Dungeon――the fact it’s now named Labyrinth-Gard――hasn’t been conveyed into the inside of the dungeon yet .

はちもえられるので、のである。

This is in consideration of the fact we may face surprise attacks during a war, it’s for the sake of caution .

ラビリガドにはをるをしていなかった。がすれば、にするをみむである。

The barrier stones haven’t been implemented into the surroundings of Labyrinth-Gard . Once the war is over I plan to perform a defensive ritual targeting wide-scale attack spells .

、がにっていないので、これはがいなのだ。

Due to present situations, there isn’t enough time to implement any defenses, but it can’t be helped .

もっとも、がないだけで、なんかはになっている。

Although the dungeon can’t be explored at the moment, food ingredients can still be traded .

はなのだ。

Other than the adventurers, business is going as usual .

のさんは、ラビリガドにってい、となっている。

The volunteer soldiers have returned to Labyrinth-Gard, currently on standby in their own homes .

マサユキやアルノーとったのだけを、としてをしているであったのだ。

Only a section of individuals such as Masayuki and Arnaud were allowed to participate as representatives .

ともかく、とをえる。

Anyways, rewards and commendations were given .

ついでに、へのをすのだ。

Incidentally, I also experimented on the Demon Lord Ascension .

のは２〜３、(ハーベストフェスティバル)のでしたのだが、ならばもいない。

My evolution took 2~3 days, my level of activity has dropped due to the effects of Harvest Festival, however at the moment the empire’s armies aren’t here .

TN Note: , Harvest Festival is the term used by the author to describe the evolution of a monster into a demon lord, probably because they harvested a load of souls for this .

は３でルミナスのにりそうだが、をしているようで２はのだろう。

It would seem the airship corps would take 3 days to fly around the back of The Holy Empire Ruberion’s territory, but after adjusting their advancement speed, they would hit open seas in 2 days .

くでしたは１となるだろうけど、どうもがきくはしかたないとのだった。

When flying near supersonic speeds, they could reduce travel time by 1 day . However, magic consumption was immense, and they could only maintain their top speed for a short amount of time .

こので、のがあるだけでもなので、ぎるとはう。

In this world, the ability to move at supersonic speeds is quite a threat, so I think a short amount of time is enough .

しろでも、400kmはるらしく、やなどはにならないをしているのだから。

In any case, since the average speed for an airship is about 400km/h, when compared to a ship or a train this is pretty fast .

そういうで、がいタイミングともえるのである。

That’s why, you can say this is good timing .

はだったけど、にいがるもある。

It was an overwhelming victory this time, but the possibilities of a strong adversary lurking in the midst of the enemies still exist .

ユウキがてきても、でそうなのは、ディアブロやベニマルくらいのもの。

If Yuuki appeared, among all of my executives the only ones who could deal with him would probably be either Diablo or Benimaru .

にしすれば、のきえによるをけて、をわれてしまうもあるのだ。

If they messed up badly, there would be the risk of being dominated effect due to the information overwriting over the soul, resulting in the possibility of having a subordinate

のきえにしては、ラファエルがプロテクトをしたらしい。

Regarding the information overwrite on the soul, Wisdom King Raphael seem to provide protection against it .

しかし、なしかないとわれる。

However, I think it’s probably only a temporary effect .

ユウキのをにていれば、にだとうのだが、

しかないはしぎるのはなのだ。

I think it’s possible to set up a perfect defense against it if I directly saw Yuuki’s ability, but at the moment this is only a conjecture so overconfidence is very dangerous .

によるなのげは、いざというにえてののつもりなのである。

The improvement of overall abilities through the Demon Lord ascension will serve as insurance for those “oh shit moments” .

TN Note: well, raw says emergencies, but ah who cares, love gato-san’s interpretation better .

が、したで、ユウキにしをきえられるとしても、ぎはとなるであろう。

Perchance, even if my subordinates were still defeated after they ascended and their souls were rewritten, it’s still possible for them to stall for time .

とにに、しめるというであった。

The plan is to contact me in the event of a chance encounter, commence a pincer attack with me and finish him off .

ラファエルのでは、きえにするだけならばないとのだったが、にはをれておきたいのだった。

According to Wisdom King Raphael’s prediction there would be no problems in resisting the rewrite; even so I still want to be extremely cautious though .

(TN: This… . whole…paragraph…kill…me…please… . . )

にするのは、ベニマルである。

Naturally, Benimaru was the first to be nominated .

として、のをにこなしてくれた。

As supreme commander of the army, he commanded the troops wonderfully .

がれてしになったもあったのだが、にはない。

There was a situation where a demon went wild and wrecked everything, but that’s not a problem .

らしいきであったとえるだろう。

You could probably even call it a job well done .

「よし、ではベニマル。からもになれるかもれないぞ？」

“Alright then, Benimaru . Do you know as of today you might even become a demon lord?

「をっているんですか、リムル？」

“What are you saying, Rimuru-sama?”

シュナがののいのを、にけてしてくれている。

Shuna is currently giving a speech to all the soldiers with words of appreciation for this battle .

(TN: And for some reason, literally just cuts off from their conversation into the actions of the other Executives…Whyyyy are you so confusing?!?!?!?!?!?)

のだときし、をみげてくれているのだ。

With my words as the introduction, she read a script out loud

そのをえたのはではなく、シュナなのだが、かいはどうでもい。

Naturally it wasn’t me who came up with the manuscript . It was Shuna, but let’s not mind the small details .

(TN: Rimuru turning into a politician with his speeches being written for him? Wait wut, did I translate this correctly?)

TN Note: Loads of politicians do that . You translated it correctly .

は、やのをにえてしまい、はでのにむになっている。

Recently, techniques relating to fabrics and sewing have been completely passed down; Shuna herself has been allocating her time for her hobbies .

なので、のとしてのがいのだ。

Even so, she spends a lot of her time as my secretary .

シオンは、をっているのだが、ののにしい。

At the moment Shion was listed as my chief bodyguard as well as my chief secretary but is currently busy training her subordinates .

ここはシュナがメインとなって、のとしてのをこなしてくれていた。

Thus recently it was mainly Shuna who was handling the work of being my secretary .

そういうで、シュナがしているにとベニマルのはく。

That’s why, while Shuna was giving a speech the conversation between Benimaru and I continued .

「いや、をしたろ？　あれでへのがらしいのだよ」

“Well, we acquired some souls didn’t we? It seems it’s possible to ascend to a demon lord using them . ”

「いてないぞ？」

“Why haven’t I heard about this?”

「え？　だってったし？」

“Oh? Didn’t I just explained abut it?”

めうとベニマル。

I and Benimaru locked eyes .

ってなかったのはかっただろうか？

I wonder was it distasteful for me to not tell him beforehand?

いや、かしいをける、とかはったがする。

No, I’m pretty positive I’ve already told him I would be

granting him new powers .

「、をけるとはっておいただろ？」

“For the moment, I did say I’ll bestow power toyou ?”

「いやいやいや、、とかそういうじのモノだとうだろ！？」

No no no, wouldn’t one usually think it would be some kind of weapon!?

「むむむ、そうわれればそうかもれないが……

でもまあ、してらないだろ？」

“Mu mu mu, If you say so it might be but…

But you know, there wouldn’t be much change right?”

「わるだろ！」

“there will be!”

びめうが、はベニマルがめたようにをついたではけた。

We once again locked eyes with each other, the stare was broken this time by Benimaru’s sigh as he gave up .

どうやらをめたらしい。

He seems to have decided to prepare himself .

めただけかもれないが、したいはいだろう。

You may have resigned yourself to this, but I’m sure there won’t be any significant differences .

「だけじゃないんだろ？　どうえているんです？」

“It’s not just me right? What are you thinking?”

いである。

Good question .

のは、やが10になった、ののてにギフトがけられた。

In my case, my magic essence and my magic increased 10 folds, and everyone soul-linked to me was bestowed a blessing .

はどうなるのかだが、きくがすはいない。

It’s unknown how it will turn out this time, but it’s certain that he will drastically increase in power .

だが、のにいヤツがるだが、のをしたらにくなるのだろうか？

But, this guy was stronger than I was before I ascended, if he underwent the same evolution wouldn’t he be stronger than I am now?

そういうもあるのはであった。

To be honest I feel a sense of anxiety .

、のがるとはえないが、にりされてするとかはない。

Basically, I don’t think my follower will betray me, but the possibility of them unable to control their powers and go berserk couldn’t be denied .

にヴェルドラもるけど、のがすると――というか、――なになる。

Although Veldora is nearby, someone of my level going berserk ――or rather an unreasonable level――would be a serious matter .

なのでずはづつ、にをしながらのをうのだ。

Hence I’ll start off with performing the evolution ritual on only one individual to make an absolute confirmation .

そういうをし、ベニマルもしたようだ。

I explained the circumstances to Benimaru and he seemed to have understood .

そして、にしないとした。もしいである。

And, he boasted he would definitely not go berserk . What a reliable thing to say .

シュナのもわったので、するにしよう。

As Shuna’s speech ended, I quickly tried to reward him .

「の、くいてくれた！　から”(フレアロード)”をるがいい！」

“You have done well in this battle! You will be known as

“Wrathful King(Flare Lord)” from today on!

(TN: Changed from Angry to Rageful)

TN Note: changed from Rageful to wrathful, I felt the latter had more impact

「はは！　りきせ！！」

“Haha! I am thankful for this blessing!!”

をする。

The ceremony was performed .

はフレンドリーでも、にのではなのだ。

He was usually friendly, but as expected before his soldiers he was their supreme commander .

ベニマルはそういうのはであった。

Benimaru has perfectly differentiated between public and private .

とは、しいりの。

Wrathful, it meant extreme anger .

はさをし、かにりをるようになったベニマルだが、そのはしい。

Benimaru was usually impatient, but now he could calmly control his anger, his nature is like that of a raging fire .

にえる（）のとして、これしいもあるまい。

As one of the (demon) lords who serve me, there is no better name than this .

(TN: Uhhh……… . . 10 dollars on someone finding a better name than him?)

TN Note:  actually means demon king, I don’t even know why we call them demon lords in English instead, but in the raw it fits pretty well .

つというか、になるのか？

So, would this be a second name, or a rank?

(TN: Beats me, you already have a storyline that’s more complicated than Legend of Zelda)

《。[:10]をして、：ベニマルのをいますか？ YES/NO 》

<>

YES、だ。

YES .

それをするとに、はのから、10のをベニマルにった。

When I had commemorated him, I have also simultaneously sent 100,000 souls from the corridor of souls to Benimaru .

されるとに、ベニマルのが――しなかった。

Once the souls were awarded, Benimaru’s evolution ―――― had not begun .

なし。

There was no change .

あれえ、か？

hmm, did it fail?

「どうやら、もうつがあるようだ……

これは、ののだ。

にものがこえた。

どうも、からにするようなんだが、がれなくなるらしい。

がくなるので、をるもなくなるみたいだな。

の、のおさとしてのをえないと、ないみたいだ……」

“There seems to be another condition… .

This problem, seemed to be on my end .

I heard the voice of the world .

It seems, procreation becomes impossible after evolving from an Ogre to a Demon Lord .

Because the concept of life span would disappear, the ability to make a child does not seem necessary .

“Regretfully, until i complete my job as the leader of my species, I cannot complete the evolution… . ”

「……つまり、らないとしないのか？」

“… . In other words, you wouldn’t evolve unless you bear kin?”

(TN: …Okay . . )

TN Note: Big thx to lion san for the pun idea XD, in all honesty thought, he alongside his kin are the last ogres, so it’s justified .

「う、む……。そういうだな」

“U,mu…that’s how it is . ”

めうとベニマル。

Benimaru and I locked eyes again .

はくめうだが、はのがにい。

There were a lot of stare downs today, but my gaze was

overwhelmingly stronger .

(TN: Why did I translate this?… . . )

ベニマルはまずそうにをがせている。

Feeling uncomfortable, Benimaru’s eyes started to sway .

(TN: Lemme, go grab a chair and some rope . . Okay I’ll be quiet now…)

をめろよ、ベニマル。

“You better be resoluted, Benimaru . ”

(TN: WHY,HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?!?!? Okay for real this time, I’ll be quiet . )

さくそういて、

I whispered silently,

「モミジ、へてい！　おとベニマルのをめる！！」

“Momiji, come forth! I hereby recognize the binding of souls between you and Benimaru!”

でした。

I declared with a loud voice .

ベニマルはをっにさせてき、しかしそのにはみがまれている。

Benimaru looked down with his bright red face, however, a smile is engraved onto his mouth .

しかったのか。

You look pretty happy .

をっているには、なである。

Although he seemed like a hardliner, he was a pure man at heart .

いじゃないよ、そういうの。だが、はだから、っておいたらいつまでたってもだろう。

I didn’t dislike this, but if I left him alone, he’ll end up single till the end .

……ま、まあ、ものはえないんだがね。

… . We-well, I am in no position to judge others about such things though .

(TN: What, because you’re forever a virgin?)

TN Note: does he even have a virginity to begin with?

シュナはできにをめ、しかししそうにをするつもりのようだ。

Shuna looking surprised had widened her, but it seems she intends to bless her older brother .

をめくす、とのにまれて、ベニマルとモミジはをげた。

The arena echoed with blessings and outcries of jealosuy, Benimaru and Momiji received congratulatory words .

まあ、はだけだけど、このというののがしたら、ベニマルのもげねばなるまい。

Well, it is only an announcement now, but after the ascension ceremony that was our victory celebration in name ended, I’m going to have to host Benimaru’s marriage .

せそうなベニマルとモミジはにがらせて、シュナにだけじ。

Benimaru and Momiji seemed happy, After I told them to come off the stage I ordered Shuna to prepare .

モミジはしそうににし、ベニマルにくっついてにがる。

Momiji bowed down joyfully to me and left clinging to Benimaru .

くはりまなかったが、がをげるでようやくかになった。

The cheers did not stop sounding for a while, once I raised my hand the cheers finally silenced .

がつかえていなければそのままっていたいのだが、はをしておきたい。

When there isn’t time later on, I’d like to bless them just as it is, but for now this ceremony takes priority .

わぬハプニングだったが、にはがあるので、ききするにした。

It was an unexpected incident, but I had time to spare, so we continued our progress .

いて、ゴブタだ。

Consequently, it was Gobuta .

にがったゴブタに、

Gobuta went up onto the platform .

「おには、はない！」

“For you, no reward!”

そういった。

So it was declared .

「ええ！？　いっすよ！　じゃあ、でここまでんだんすか？」

“EH!? That’s terrible-tsu!  Then why did you call me up here?”

「いだ。おにははいが、のわりにつ、をやろう」

“That’s a good question . There is no reward for you, but instead I’m going to bestow you a right”

「っすか？」

“A right-tsu?”

のにするゴブタだったが、くのがないのか、したである。

Gobuta was confused, unable to fully understand the meaning of my words; he had a confused expression on his face .

というのにがいのか？

Does he have no confidence in the words ‘right’?

ったようなのゴブタをニヤリとめ、

I look at Gobuta’s confused expression with a broad grin .

「おはにし、”のままのでにする”、をくれてやる！」

“You are given the right to “converse in a casual tone” with me!

TN Note: Basically Rimuru is telling Gobuta he can talk casually with the king of Tempest as he would with his pals, which he already does to be honest .

そうした。

So I declared .

このに、ほどのベニマルにするのにったようながゴブタにがれた。

With these words, an even louder outcry of jealously even greater than the previous one towards Benimaru was aimed towards Gobuta .

TN Note: Rimuru still best waifu, they get more jealous of someone talking to her casually than someone marrying momiji…

シオンやシュナまでも、ろしいでゴブタをしている。

Even Shion and Shuna, were staring at Gobuta with scary gazes .

よっぽどましいようだ。

They seem to be jealous .

というか、はにしてもいとっているのだが、なかなかしいらしい。

Or rather, I usually told them they could converse with me in a casual tone, but they looked like they were having difficulties .

そんな、にするゴブタへのが、ていたのだそうだ。

Meanwhile, there were plenty of complaints given to Gobuta for being given the right to talk casually .

くさいので、””としてめるにした。

Because it was troublesome, I decided to recognize it as a “right” .

そもそも、このはみたいなもので、にするがいではいだろうし。

After all, this tone is something like a dialect, it doesn’t mean they’re being disrespect to me .

をればわかるよ。

It’s clear when I looked into his eyes .

ゴブタはのなら、すらもわぬというをしていた。

Gobuta had eyes that didn’t even mind death for my sake .

、でお、クラスにえるものでもないだろう。はしていないのだし。

Fundamentally, you wouldn’t give medals of honor or money to a general class, they wouldn’t need it .

をえるにも、どうせないだろうしがい。

Giving a territory would probably also be meaningless since they can’t govern it anyways .

も、ランガとヘンシンするからないし、かなりんだのだ。

As for weapons and armor, since he had Ranga as well as their union skill it also wasn’t necessary, so I was troubled in finding the proper reward .

まあ、だだとあるのかもれないけど、にそこまでしいはない。

Well,  honor and authority were options, a system of formality wasn’t necessary for us monsters though .

はのやりたいようにするだけである。

I just do what I want to do .

ゴブタはしそうに、

Gobuta seemed joyful,

「あざーーーっす！！」

“Thank you very much-tsu!!!!!”

(Alfha Robby: This can also be translated as AZA-tsu (Arigatou GoZAimasu) Courtesy to The Mysterious Lion MAsk for this Line . )

と、90におして、にえた。

Afterwards, he bowed to me in a 90 degree angle and waited in line .

びである。

It’s delightful not having to deal with the formalities .

らく、でもをそうとしていたのだろう。はくていなかったけどな。

He was probably also trying to fix his tone . However it didn’t seem to work .

ゴブタにとってはよりのであったようで、もしい。

That seemed to be the best reward for Gobuta, for that I too am happy .

なとは、にしいものなのである。

Finding the appropriate reward was truly difficult .

さて、ゴブタとえば、はランガだ。

By the way, speaking of Gobuta, Ranga is next .

ランガをぶと、のからかにれた。

As I called for him, he silently emerged from my shadow .

「ランガ、くゴブタをけてくれた。をう。

さて、からおは、”(スターロード)”をれ！」

“Ranga, you’ve been a great help to Gobuta . I give you my thanks .

Well, from today on, you may call yourself “Star Wolf Lord(Star Lord)!”

ランガはし、した。

Ranga gave a bellowing roar, and accepted it .

そしてのをう。ランガはベニマルとい、にがした。

And then I began the Ascension Ritual . Unlike Benimaru, Ranga immediately began evolving .

とに(ハーベストフェスティバル)もまったらしい。

Like what happened to me, the Harvest Festival has begun .

ぐにののにし、りにつかせる。らく、のも、にギフトをけているだろう。

Ranga immediately went back into my shadow and fell asleep . Perhaps, his star wolf subordinates will also receive a blessing gift from him .

、どうなっているかにしみである。

Whatever happens to him after his evolution is sure to be great .

ランガのはいらなかったようだ。

Ranga running out of control didn’t seem like it was something that we needed to worry about .

なくのにり、ランガはりについた。

Safely back in my shadow, Ranga went back to sleep .

ガビルをぶ。

I called forth Gabil .

３をいて、なをじてくれた。

With the third army air corps, he performed an excellent aerial dogfight .

いのをけると、ガビルはに、

When I gave him my words of appreciation, Gabil meekly,

「まだまだでした。

のでもしてしまいましたし……

はまだまだです。

『』をいこなせるように、するです！」

“There’s still a lot to improve upon .

People were injured by my command… . ”

I still have a lot to improve upon .

For the sake of using 『Dragon warriorization』 freely, we’re willing to put in the effort!”

そうえた。

He answered so .

はいようだ。

He seems to be determined .

えば、にってランガのにけていたがかしい。

I felt nostalgic, I remembered the time when he got defeated by one of Ranga’s subordinates when going with the flow .

にりやすいもではちいて、のをめるのとなっている。

His tendencies to get cocky has settled down, he has become an experienced general who can perceive his surroundings .

はあったようだし、のとベスターとのをじて

ではさもにけていた。

Through experiencing defeat and communicating with Bester and co, His original prudent quality has surfaced .

ではれるなのである。

He’s an existence that can be relied on now .

「おに””をける。

いこなし、”(ドラグロード)”としてしてせろ」

“I will grant you “power” .

You have managed the army wonderfully, “Heavenly Dragon King (Dragon Lord)” awaken and show me your powers . ”

The souls were given and the ascension has begun .

をえ、をす。

ガビルのはだった。

The evolution of Gabil was dramatic .

のがにし、えるようにエネルギーがガビルのをけっている。

His scales turned from blackish purple to reddish purple, magic essence energy wrapped around his body as if he was burning .

しかし、『』をしてせたそのにより、をすをこすはかった。

However, with the same conviction he used to control 『Dragon warriorization』, he didn’t went berserk .

にガビルはえてせたのだ。

Gabil endured the evolution wonderfully .

「うぉおおおお！　からは”(ドラグロード)”をらせていますぞ！

そのにも、このの、いこなすのである！」

“Uooooo~! From today onwards, I will be known as “Heavenly Dragon Lord”!

For that, I will master this level of strength!”

がり、ガビルのがのエネルギーによりきがれる。

Purple electricity discharged about, Gabil’s body appeared as if it was burned by energy .

したようだ。

It seemed to have succeeded .

ランガはににりりについたのだが、ガビルはこのでをさせたようだ。

Ranga went into my shadow and fell asleep immediately, but in his place I got to see Gabil’s successful evolution .

ガビルのギフトは、100のヒリュウとソーカ５がくけいだようだ。

As for the blessing gift from Gabil, 100 Hiryuu as well as

The 5 individuals of Souka and co .

(TN: There’s a 5 of something ソーカ translates to sōka in Romanji . I think they’re the female ninjas in Souei’s grop? Would greatly appreciate the help . )

TN Note: Yes they are, actually it was “the 5 individuals consisting of Souka and co, and there’s actually some males amongst them .

(ブルーナンバーズ)の(リザードマン)3,000もをけて、ドラゴニュートにした。

The 3,000 lizardman from the Blue Corps were affected by the blessing as well and evolved into Dragonnewts .

ソーカ５はアークデーモンにじるさになったようだ。

The 5 individuals of Souka and co had attained strength equivalent to Arc Demons .

(ヒリュウ)もクラス。Ａランクのをにえたようである。

The Hiryuu folks had reached Majin class, and well surpassed A rank .

から『』のとなっているようなもので、スキルそのものもえた。

The skill “Dragon Warriorization” seems to have disappeared since they’ve evolved into the very thing itself .

わりに、『』というスキルにて、のをにまできげるをにけていた。

In its place, they seem to have acquired the ability 『Dragon Scale Armor』 instead, an ability that turns their scales into armor .

ガビルなど、でもレジェンドのなのに、そのはゴッズにいまでねがる。

Gabil and the rest already had defenses that were equal to Legendary class, but using this new ability would their defenses jump to be close to god class .

、だけではなくもするだ。

Naturally, not only did their defensive power rise, their offensive power rose as well .

は(ドラゴニュート)のままであるが、なのである。

Their race remained as DragonNewts but they received a drastic increase in power .

ソーカ、もからがい。はのようななのだが、せずともをけたに、がのようにするのだ。

Souka and co, the females too had defensive power that was higher than usual . They’re appearance is usually like a human being’s, but if they were their skin would unconsciously change into scales .

TN Note: If case anyone forget, the female dragonewts have a human-like form since they desired it, but the males looked like winged lizardman since they find no need for a human form .

らくだが、『』をすると、のけはなくなりそうである。

Perhaps, when using “Dragon Scale Armor” the distinction between males and females may become impossible .

のも、がって、のにっている。

Through time, the reddish-purple scales had gradually faded back to their original blackish-purple .

だが、よりもきとみがしており、をわせるまでししていた。

But, the brightness as well as depth within the scales have been increased compared to before, it had obsidian-like artistic quality .

でもでされそうだ。まあ、はがるだろうし、そんなむもないのだけど。

Even one piece of the scale seemed to fetch a high price . Well they’ll probably dislike it though, so there’s no point asking .

しかし、をれとったからか、ガビルのからながえていた。

However, because I called Gabil a king, splendid horns had protruded from his forehead .

ガビルのになほど、よくえる。だが、それでいいのだ。

Due to Gabil’s conceited air, it complemented him well . But, that’s all good .

“(ドラグロード)”にしく、とをねえたなであった。

This was suitable for a “Heavenly Dragon Lord”, he had an excellent evolution that united power with dignity .

ののようにりにつくまでもなく、はした。

Unlike my evolution, he completed his evolution without the need to sleep .

ののとしてしい、”ドラグロード”がしたのである。

He was quite suitable to be the king of my subordinates, “Heavenly Dragon Lord” was born .

いて、にてにわったである。

Next, the people who participated in the capital defensive battle on the surface .

ゲルド、シオン、ディアブロの３だ。

These three were Gerudo, Shion and Diablo .

のはさそうだが、のにずつさせよう。

There doesn’t seem to be any danger of them going berserk, but just to be safe we’ll do it one by one .

いのをけ、””をける。

I will give out my words of appreciation and grant “power” to them .

ずはゲルド。

Starting off with Gerudo .

ところが、

However,

「りきしですが、よりもがるかと……

のの、のサポートとしてリムルがけてさった、カレラに。

がなければ、はよりしいものとなっていたでしょうから」

“I am thankful for the proposal, but isn’t there a person more qualified than I am? ……

In this defense, Rimuru-sama assigned Carrera-san as my support .

If she wasn’t there, the defensive battle would have been a lot more difficult”

のによるへのをしてた。

He declined the awakening to Demon Lord with the power of his spirit .

それはだが、オーク・ディザスターのがのつなのだろう。

It’s just a gest, but the rampage of the Orc demon lord Orc・Disaster was probably another reason .

TN Note: Orc disaster was the orc that led the orc army against the lizardman and destroyed most of the ogres, but was eventually defeated by Rimuru early on .

ゲルドがするはいだろう。しかし、としてはがえないのだ。

Gerudo probably wouldn’t run out of control . However, I can’t clear away his uneasiness .

それに、いのもあるのだろう。

Besides, this is probably also a form of atonement .

あののにより、ジュラのになるをきらしたのをうとしての。

He was a person that once carried the responsibility of spreading calamity within the Great Jura Forest when they were out of control .

そのはいをめていており、をってをていた。

His eyes shone with a strong will and unbending determination .

「わかった。では、なるをって、しきをげるようめ。

ただし、がだったのはいない。

おのきは、にだった。より、もでしてうになるしな。

“I understand . Then strive harder, in order to perform a suitably distinguish military service .

However, there is no denying that the defense battle was splendidly executed .

Your work was without a doubt, wonderful . Above all, from now on you will be playing an active role in the construction of the city .

は、これをけよう。そして、から”(バリアロード)”をるがいい！」

This time, I will grant this to you . From today on, you will be known as “Barrier Lord”!”

TN Note: The Kanji meant something like Guardian conqueror .

そうって、した(レジェンド)をがカスタムしたものをりして、ゲルドにけた。

After saying so, I took out the remodeled legendary ranked equipment that I attained during the war, and granted it to Gerudo .

これはゲルドのにしてざり、ゲルドとなる。

There was a mixed response in Gerudo’s Youki; this piece of equipment will be Gerudo’s private arms .

ゴッズとレジェンドのいは、そのもののレベル。

The difference between Myth class and Legend class is based on the user’s own level of skillfulness with the arms .

がいをて、するのだ。しかし、がれている、のがにする。

The arms would constantly evolve over time . However, the speed of the evolution rises incredibly when it’s wielded by a skillful owner .

ゲルドはのなので、レジェンドであってもぐにゴッズにががるだろうとしていた。

Because Gerudo’s ability is specialized in defense, even if it’s legendary class equipment, his defensive power will probably rival a god rank, that’s what I predicted .

きなもしてあり、にのがめるだろう。

The big shield was prepared for him, I expect defensive power would further increase .

ゲルドはしくをけり、にする。

Gerudo received the rewards respectfully and bowed to me .

「かにりました！　この”バリアロード”、にじぬようにしましょうぞ！」

“I gratefully accept! I’ll devote myself to living up to this new title “Barrier Lord”!

ゲルドはすると、にぶ。

Gerudo declared, and went back into line .

ではさせるのはがりない。なので、はゲルドのいをけれよう。

Under present conditions, I don’t have enough souls to awaken everyone . So I’ll accept Gerudo’s response this time .

だが、のにはオーク・ディザスターのなどりって、としていたいものだ。

But, you should forgive yourself for going out of control back then; forget all about it during the next opportunity . I want you to ascend magnificently .

(TN: Remember the Orcs resorting to cannibalism and eating everything? Yeah . )

もうも、ゲルドをのでるなどいのだから。

Nobody’s shunning Gerudo for what happened in the past anymore .

のゲルドのがあったけれど、りのはするだろう。

Though the refusal by Gerudo was unexpected, the remaining two people will probably accept it .

しろ、シオンにディアブロだしな。

After all, it’s Diablo and Shion .

のとってもいい。

You could even call them the evilest Individuals .

TN Note:  may mean misfortune, but it could also mean evil, something that causes widespread chaos and destruction, and so on .

このがにれだしたら、はなものになりそうだ。

If these two people run out of control at the same time, there will be some serious damage .

ベニマルならばそうってしそうだが、はしていなかった。

If it was Benimaru, I would be cautious, but I wasn’t worried .

シオンはにるようになっているし、ディアブロからいもいないだろう。

Shion already has some self control now; but Diablo isn’t exactly unlinked to rampaging though .

というで、ずはシオンである。

And so, we begin with Shion .

「シオン、おは”(ウォーロード)”にずる。

より、するなくをってくれ」

“Shion, I appoint you as “War Lord” .

Henceforth, please protect everyone without going berserk . ”

そういながら、をけた。

While saying so, I granted her the souls .

のだが、あれえ？　くなし。

But, huh? There was no change .

シオンもキョトンとしてをている。

Shion was blankly staring at me .

くめったがのしもかった。

We stared at each other for a while, but there was no indication of change .

、か？

A dud?

こうなると、をえてないようにわれて、にまずい。

As a result, it seemed as though as if I didn’t reward Shion, well this is awkward .

いきなりピンチにってしまった。しろ、にもしていないのだ。

I have suddenly fallen into quite a pinch . In any case, I haven’t prepared anything else

どうしたものかとったが、ながきていた。

That was what I thought, but something unexpected happened .

シオンにはのもかったのに、(ヨミガエリ)がしたのだ。

Although there were no changes in Shion, the members of Yomigaeri suddenly started to evolve .

がだからないが、シオンのだし、こういうもあるのだろう。にはながいので、いてもいられない。

Although I don’t understand, since these are Shion’s subordinates, things like this will probably happen . Because monsters have a lot of strange quirks and features, you shouldn’t be surprised by every single one of them .

そういうで、シオンはでさそうだ。

That’s why, leaving Shion alone is a good idea .

シオンはそうだったが、でのレシピをえてやるとくと、そうにいてにんだ。

Shion seemed to be dissatisfied, but after whispering to her about being taught the recipe for the latest dish, she nodded in satisfaction and went back into line .

いやすいヤツである。

She was easy to handle .

しかし、シオンのである(ヨミガエリ)。

However, there’s still Shion’s subordinates the folks of Yomigaeri .

のようなじになっている。(デーモン)とはう、らくはとでもえばだろうか。

They seemed to have turned some half-spirit life forms . Rather than calling them a demon, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them a Yoma .

にい、なにしたようだ。

It seems that they’ve evolved into a kind of unique race that resembles spirits

TN Note: Not spirits as in dead people, but more like spirits as in Tree spirits (Dryads) and Fire Spirits (Ifrit) .

をしつつ、デーモンにい。

They possessed bodies, but their existences were closer to demons .

ヒリュウよりエネルギーはいし、もそうなのだが……

They had lower magic essence compared to the Hiryuu, they also seemed to have lower defensive power as well .

をすれば、どちらがいかしいである。

If you considered their immortality trait, it would be difficult to determine who’s the stronger one .

はホブゴブリンだったのに、ではにだった。

Though they were formerly part of the hobgoblin race, they’re completely different now .

シオンのオニのがよりくれたようで、にべてがい。

Since Shion’s ogre traits had greatly surfaced, they also look more becoming than the others .

ゴブリンだったとっても、もじないだろう。

Nobody would believe that her subordinates were goblins in the past .

シオンにがかったのはではあるが、はきたのだろう。

It’s unexpected that there were no changes in Shion, but evolution has in fact occurred .

こんなじに、はいていったのだ。

In this sense, the victory celebration continued .
