"Tell me exactly what happened there."
Seeing how seriously Rimuru was taking this matter, Phobio-one of the Three Beastketeers-stepped forward. His expression was solemn.
"As Lord Carrion's attendant, I stayed with him until the very end."
He paused briefly, then continued.
"In that battle, Demon Lord Milim's power was simply overwhelming. There was no comparison. The Beast Kingdom Eurazania was completely destroyed by her."
Rimuru nodded after hearing this.
He had a rough understanding of Milim's strength. After all, her battle with Shirou Emiya had nearly wiped out the entire Jura Forest. Hearing that Eurazania was destroyed by her didn't surprise him in the slightest.
According to Phobio, Milim destroyed Eurazania with a single, devastating blow.
Phobio himself had nearly died just from observing the battle.
Even though he survived, he had been gravely injured. Later, after regrouping with Albis through a base transfer, he received a complete recovery potion from Gabil in Emiya City and finally recovered.
When Phobio finished explaining, silence settled over the conference room.
At the same time, Shirou Emiya, seated to the side, was quietly digesting the information.
Then, as if recalling something important, Phobio spoke again.
"There's something else."
Everyone's attention returned to him.
"After that exaggerated explosion ended, Lord Carrion was ambushed by Demon Lord Frey."
His voice lowered.
"Two Demon Lords working together... it's hard to believe."
Phobio frowned.
"Demon Lord Milim hates that kind of petty tactic. I don't think she's that sort of person."
He hesitated, then added,
"And now that I think about it... some details feel strange."
"What's strange?" Shirou asked immediately.
"At that moment, when Demon Lord Milim took Lord Carrion away-although it was only an instant-I believe I made eye contact with Demon Lord Frey."
The room remained quiet.
"At the time, I was extremely tense. And since she didn't react, I assumed it was just my imagination. I thought she hadn't noticed me."
Phobio clenched his fist slightly.
"But thinking back now... Demon Lord Frey is known to have the best eyesight among all Demon Lords. They say she can snipe small animals from extreme distances."
He shook his head.
"I was hiding, yes. But there's no way she could have missed me."
"I see." Shirou nodded.
He clearly agreed.
If she truly had that level of vision, overlooking Phobio was impossible.
"There's more," Phobio continued. "When Demon Lord Milim took Lord Carrion away, the direction they traveled wasn't toward Milim's territory."
Everyone stiffened.
"It was toward Demon Lord Clayman's territory."
"Demon Lord Clayman?"
Sophia of the White Tiger Claw immediately stood up.
Albis reacted faster, stepping forward to block her.
"Wait, Sophia. Don't be reckless," she said calmly. "And even if we're settling accounts, we'll do it together."
After a moment, Sophia exhaled and returned to her seat.
"Demon Lord Clayman..." Shirou murmured.
His eyes narrowed.
"Rimuru."
"Yeah, I know." Rimuru answered at once.
They didn't need to say more.
"Demon Lord Clayman, huh," Rimuru said, standing up and facing the Three Beastketeers. "Then let's go together."
His tone was firm.
"I've got my own accounts to settle with him."
"That's right," Shirou added without hesitation.
Seeing the two of them speak so decisively, Albis and the others were visibly moved.
"This isn't just for your sake," Rimuru continued. "We also have unresolved business with Demon Lord Clayman."
Shirou nodded.
"Whatever trick he used to manipulate Milim, he won't get away with it."
The two exchanged a glance.
This matter wouldn't end here.
After the meeting with the Three Beastketeers concluded, the Monster Federation held a celebration.
Rimuru's ascension to Demon Lord was no small event.
Everyone worked enthusiastically to prepare the venue. Even Shirou Emiya joined in, taking charge as head chef and personally preparing a wide variety of dishes.
The banquet was lively.
Laughter echoed throughout the hall. Satisfied smiles appeared on every face.
After the celebration, the demon known as Noir-summoned earlier by Rimuru-finally fulfilled his long-standing wish.
He pledged his allegiance.
Rimuru gave him a name.
Diablo.
For the demon, this alone was enough to fill him with boundless joy.
"Shirou," Rimuru said afterward, "do you want to come to the cave with me?"
The cave Rimuru mentioned was the place of his birth.
It was also where he and Shirou had first met.
"What for?" Shirou asked.
Rimuru glanced around. Seeing no one nearby, he leaned in and whispered,
"I'm planning to release Veldora."
"The Storm Dragon?" Shirou raised an eyebrow. "You've already finished analyzing the barrier that sealed him?"
"Of course," Rimuru replied confidently, giving a thumbs-up. "After evolving, Great Sage became Raphael-Lord of Wisdom. It was done very quickly."
"That fast?" Shirou was genuinely surprised. "I thought it would still take a hundred years."
He shook his head in disbelief.
"The Lord of Wisdom is ridiculous."
Then, as if something clicked, his expression changed.
"Wait," he said quickly. "If Raphael is that powerful... can it handle the magic I need?"
Rimuru blinked.
Shirou had remembered something important.
He had asked Great Sage about it before, only to be told it would take over a hundred years. That timeline had been unacceptable.
He couldn't afford to remain in this world for a century.
But now-
If Raphael could analyze a hundred-year sealing barrier in a few days, then designing a personal space capable of storing living beings should be possible.
Looking at Shirou's expectant gaze, Rimuru immediately consulted Raphael.
"Calculating magic for a personal space capable of storing life. Estimated time required: three days."
Rimuru's eyes widened.
"Shirou," he said immediately, "Raphael says it only needs three days to complete the design."
"Only three days?!" Shirou's face lit up.
So that was it.
"So the guidance from Ultra Instinct was you, Rimuru."
He let out a small laugh.
Ever since learning he could obtain that magic in this world, he had been researching nonstop, with no progress. Now, after Rimuru became a Demon Lord and awakened Raphael, the problem was solved effortlessly.
"If even the ultimate skill representing the pinnacle of research in this world couldn't do it," Shirou said, "then no one else could."
He smiled.
"Looks like I was overthinking things."
Then he looked straight at Rimuru.
"I'm counting on you."
"Yeah," Rimuru replied seriously. "Leave it to me, Shirou."
