Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Ch.104-200+

Chapter 137 - A Year of Progress

Dear readers, Clown here.

I apologize for the delays in getting the chapters out to you. I initially planned to finish the whole chapter roughly 24 hours ago. Sadly, some work came up that I couldn’t put up. I was thinking of how I can give you steady releases, and this is what I decided:

I will be uploading chapters in parts, no more than 2-3 parts per chapter, which will hopefully mean an update once every 2-3 days!

I will try to finish this chapter by Thursday, 3/3 at 11:59 pm GMT -4.

The Empire’s Invasion Arc

137. A year of Progress (Part 1)

After Yuuki escaped, we were unable to immediately pursue.

As they say: haste makes waste.

One could say that Leon’s impatience led to Yuuki escaping, but the real reason is the fact that we couldn’t trust each other.

As such, I noticed that we need to establish order amongst ourselves first.

I mean, there’s no question that all of us desperately want to save Chloe.

But no good will come from acting rashly, and who could have excepted Yuuki to slip into the Empire.

Fighting the Empire along with him puts as at a disadvantage. We need to prepare.

I was tasked with handling Milim, while Leon would handle information-gathering. But that entailed basically waiting for his spy to report in.

With regards to the resurrected red knight, the blue knight was delighted and Leon thanked Ruminas. Thus we decided on our future actions.

Leon will collect information while refraining from impatient actions.

Though Leon’s anger was easy to understand, the fact remains that he let Yuuki escape.

Well, maybe he can just create a barrier around the battlefield—though whether a bearer of an ultimate skill would be affected is a different story—but I still believe that we should not act independently.

Sure, we won’t come to trust each other with our lives; but we do share a common goal.

This common goal is the only thing that binds our group together. Should that common goal disappear there’s no way I’ll be able to control the other two.

While Leon is gathering information, there are places which we must visit.

For now, we need to return and prepare our countries for an eventual confrontation with the Empire.

But first, I have to deal with Milim.

Life got a bit complicated for me once I separated from Leon and Ruminas.

Soothing the raging Milim.

Telling her that her pet was resurrected, and getting thanked by a delighted Milim.

And have her “guardian” come right after Milim anger was soothed.

In short, I had to prevent Milim from rampaging.

I guess you could even say that I needed to manipulate her.

Her “guardian” (Frey) should have come sooner. She seems to have come the moment Milim regained her composure, but I don’t want to think that Frey was just waiting for the right moment to return.

In short: my life sucked, and I couldn’t help but wonder why I had to suffer through this.

Right… Leon forced me into this.
