130. A suddent Invitation

The operation to subjugate Yuuki ended in a failure.

But taking advantage of what we could, we reestablished the Freedom Association in our favor.

Thanks to our efforts in removing Yuuki and his observers, the transition was smooth.

In the end, a single templar was left in each branch, and thus a new control system was created with the Western Saint’s Church at the head.

And the Church beginning changing its language and structure to more of a “spirit worship.”

Then there’s the Free Arbitration Committee.

A new organization Freedom Association and the Western Saints created.

Unlike the Council–the International Council, I mean–which operates by electing delegates, the Committee–Free Arbitration Committee–is composed of Freedom Association guild masters.

Once it was established it became a method for countries to negotiate on neutral grounds.

Sakaguchi Hinata was appointed as the first Committee Chair.

And since the Church and Templars refused to run for this office, her appointment was rather welcoming.

Furthermore, according to the information the templars collected, there were no visible dissenters at the moment at the branches. I mean, we demon lords–Ramiris and I in particular–tend to operate behind the scenes, but there’s a surprising lack of opposition even when we act openly.

Thus, after establishing this organization, we were able to join the countries surrounding Jura forest with two unions–the Council and the Committee.

You need strong bonds between nations in a large union.

That was the state of the world a month after the failed subjugation attempt.

Of course, while everyone was busy establishing these new organization I was not just playing around.

Three days after the failed subjugation attempt he appeared.

Ripping through Ingracia Kingdom’s barrier, clad in silver armor, he appeared,

Silver Knight Alrose.

Introducing himself as a servant of the Platinum Devil Leon Cromwell, he handed me a letter.

It was an invitation.

As he had promised, he invited me over.

But… why now?

「My master wishes to discuss matters regarding the “Hero” with you, Rimuru-sama」

After Alrose said so, I got an idea of what was in store.

The letter came after the hero was fully awakened–surely that was the cause.

Perhaps Leon knows something about Chloe. It seems they crossed blades once, so perhaps there is something he knows that we do not.

I decided to accept the invitation. In any case, I’ve yet to complain on Shizu-san’s behalf.

Though it all depends on his intentions from now on.

「Alright. I’m accepting the invitation」

「Your kind words are wasted upon us. My master shall be most pleased. Please, this way」

Alrose had a helmet on the whole time so I have no idea what kind of face he was making, but he certainly sounded happy about it; oh, and he teleported away.
