Rimuru’s Elegant Escape Play – 24 END

Afterward .

The students were put on the airship that Diablo and Souei came in and sent off to the Kingdom of Ingracia .

While I was going to miss it, this was the end of the survival training .

Laplace stayed on the island and talked with the monsters about the plans for building Wonderland .

This was in order to listen to their requests and to insure habitat segregation .

In the future, this island would have a secret base for mysterious airships and an amusement park from hell for the training of the students .

We were also considering allowing civilians inside while accompanied by guards .

And—

Within the airship, I decided to listen to what Diablo and Souei had been doing up until now .

“This must be some kind of mistake!”

Screamed Jujilas as Souei escorted him . He was tied to what looked like a dirty log .

But on closer inspection, it wasn’t a log, but a person who had been turned into a tree .

“What’s this?”

“Ah! This guy had crawled into the NNU Magic and Science Investigation Academy, and so I punished him . As you commanded, I refrained from taking his life . ”

Diablo answered proudly .

While it was true that he had not killed him, what did he intend to do now…?

“Hehehe . Once the questioning is finished, I intend to put him in the treant labyrinth town . ”

“Uh, I don’t know if Trainee would like that?”

“Do you think so? Then what if I give him to you as a present, Lord Rimuru?”

“I don’t want him! This isn’t just a questionable hobby, you know? They will question my sanity!”

“That is true . I am very sorry . Shall I burn him now?”

“Hmm . Maybe…”

The conversation was like some kind of comedy sketch . Just then, the log–I mean, Godama, began to cry .

I felt a little sorry for him .

But upon further questioning, it turned out that he was causing the most mischief in regards to my plans for the school… I could not forgive him for that .

I had no reason to forgive him .

“Oh, well . After making him an example for other fools and enduring one hundred years of tree life, he can be released . He may even be able to start life again if his brain is fine . In the end, it is important to repent . ”

“That’s wonderful, Lord Rimuru . You are always overflowing with mercy!”

Oh, really?

I felt like I was being rather harsh .

He was feeling a lot of pain but couldn’t die . He couldn’t faint or even go mad . Perhaps it would be better to just die .

However, he would be much more mentally stronger if he came out of this intact after a hundred years .

Depending on his attitude at that time, I may just hire him at Tempest .

It was not particularly pleasant, but it would work as an experiment .

And there was one other person .

Jujilas, who had been crying for quite some time now…

His heart certainly would not be able to survive turning into a tree…

Hmm . In fact, just like the small fry he was, he hadn’t actually committed that grave a crime .

On the other hand, he had affected the school and put meaningless status systems in place and shown open hostility towards me .

“What should we do with him?”

“I could kill him for you?”

Souei was quick to say .

Do you mean it? Diablo seemed to ask as he looked at Souei with surprise .

Wait a minute? I just remembered something .

“That’s it! This guy is fixated on class . We can strip him of his status and make him labor as a prisoner . ”

“I see . He can help clean the labyrinth . ”

“Hehehe . And there will be no worry of him dying if he wears the bracelet . ”

It seemed like a very harsh punishment indeed .

The bracelet would cause him to resurrect every time that he died .

And cleaning the labyrinth was very dangerous work .

A certain number of the monsters had been dealt with, but there was still parts that needed work .

It was Trainee and the other labyrinth managers that went their periodically, but they would need people to help them .

Or course, it was all very dangerous .

There was a possibility of being killed by monsters repeatedly . So it was usually work for prison laborers .

The least popular job in Tempest .

However, this was not the kind of conversation we could have in front of the students .

It wasn’t just a matter of having a bad influence on them .

So all of these thoughts remained in my head as I decided on Godama and Jujilas’s fates .

After that, there was also Magnus, Rozari and Irina .

Irina would sometimes look at my face and shout .

“Tsk . Just kill me!”

Ah! How typical!

“Hehehe . Then without further ado!”

Diablo began to move, and so I stopped him frantically .

You can’t kill the person who begs to be killed .

It was against the rules .

“Um, I understand that you hate me and everything . But, it’s not exactly justified . The ruler cannot just stand by without resisting during a war . A country cannot exist without protecting its citizen’s safety and assets . It is fine if people want to sing about being pacifists, but the ruler cannot . Or else the country will fall . Can you understand that?”

“Yes… I understand that I am wrong . But! I cannot help but hate you…”

Well, she couldn’t help herself then .
