I'm a Daemon, so what? (Tensura/Multicross)

- Felix -

I continued to watch the meeting, at first I was surprised at how well both Gazel and Erald got along, even when trading jabs with each other I could tell it was only jokes to them.

Though I guess it only makes sense seeing as how according to Ramiris they are both descended from Earth and Wind Spirits respectively.

King Gazel is even a Saint with a Unique Skill.

At some point the conversation came to a point where our evolutions into Demon Lords came up. The issue was that Rimuru massacring 20,000 people will make it hard for other nations and people to trust him. 

After all, anyone he meets will consider the thought that Rimuru can easily kill them, most people don't want to be in the presence of someone like that, someone who is capable of wiping them out effortlessly.

There weren't any bodies left from Rimuru's massacre, and it was already known that I killed Clayman and his entire army of over 30,000 majins so I offered to take the blame for it, not like it will hurt my reputation any more than everything that has happened already has.

However Gazel came up with an alternative idea, blame Veldora. Veldora is already known to be an Evil Dragon, it wouldn't be odd for him to massacre a bunch of humans who bothered him right after he was sealed after all.

This also made it so my reputation wouldn't take a dip as according to Gazel, massacring a bunch of majin and massacuring humans are seen in completely different lights.

This way my country still has the possibility of having friendly relations with some human nations.

Once the private meeting was over and everyone was on the same page, I brought Arcueid in so that we could discuss an alliance in more detail.

It was quite entertaining to watch as Arcueid slowly wrapped Gazel and Erald around her finger, at this point they were just moving as she wanted to. She wasn't using any skills or magic, just pure political maneuvers. Man did I get lucky summoning her, as long as I have her my country should flourish.

It doesn't hurt that she is also drop dead gorgeous, huh, now that I think about it all my subordinates are beautiful.

Hmm, I haven't gotten laid in a long long while either, I definitely wouldn't say no to any of them. Ah well, it's best to just let things move at their own pace, if it happens it happens.

Once everything was sorted out we headed back outside to have a meeting with everyone relevant involved.

It was basically just the same discussion as before, Rimuru talked about his reincarnation along with everything that had happened with Hinata Sakaguchi.

From Fuze's reaction it seems that she is quite important. I have heard about her before, during my travels she was said to be the leader of the so-called Ten Great Saints.

Though from what I was able to learn they aren't all actual Saints. They are just Enlightened with the potential to reach that stage.

Hinata must be quite strong to have been capable of practically toying with Pre-Awakening Rimuru.

He was around a Disaster-class threat at that point, along with being a Demon Lord Seed.

All that with just Holy Magic and Swordsmanship, hmm, maybe I should look into Holy Magic, from what Rimuru is describing Holy Magic can be quite fearsome as long as you have enough faith.

"Khuhuhu, Rimuru-sama, allow me to take care of this Hinata." said Diablo

Ugh, that laugh of his creeps me out, if I wasn't sure of his loyalty to Rimuru I would 100% think that he is the bad guy behind everything wrong with the world.

My first meeting with Diablo was quite odd.

- Flashback -

Man is the hot spring relaxing, the people of this world don't know what they are missing with this.

Oh?

Rimuru is coming here with Diablo.

I haven't gotten the chance to have a conversation with Diablo but from what Arcueid has said he is a complete monster combat wise, he was able to rival Guy Crimson back before Guy was summoned.

The odd thing about Daemons of Black according to Arcuied is that most of them desire things other than strength, oftentimes strength is just a side benefit they get chasing their goals.

Diablo himself is quite strong, I noticed he gained a Unique Skill from being named.

Between Arcuied and Diablo I'm not sure who would win in a fight, Arcueid has a superior vessel as her Deathman body was made out of 30,000+ majin, whereas Diablo's was made up of about 20,000 humans.

But Diablo's mastery over his abilities and new Unique Skill aren't to be underestimated.

Truly an interesting subordinate that Rimuru summoned, I'm not sure why he chose to serve Rimuru but his loyalty is true.

Soon enough Rimuru and Diablo arrived, "And this is the hot spring, this place is great to relax."

"Truly Rimuru-sama, I thank you for showing me this establishment." He then looked towards me, "And who is this?"

Rimuru then looked towards me and said, "Hey! What's up Felix, I hope you don't mind if we join you!"

"Come on in, the more company the better."

He nodded, then looked at Diablo, "Umu, that's Felix, one of my closest friends, just treat him like an honored guest."

"An honored guest? I see, I will fulfill his wishes as best I can." 

As the two were entering the hot spring Rimuru said, "Umu, Felix, this is Diablo, my new secretary."

"Secretary? I see, it would be useful for you to have a secretary wouldn't it? I don't think anyone can claim to have a Primordial as a secretary though, except maybe Guy Crimson, though according to Milim his Primordial servants are his maids. Umu, a respectable fetish."

"Really?! Umu, respectable indeed."

"Ah, Rimuru-sama, I would be honored to become your maid if you wish, us Daemons are able to freely change genders so it will not be a problem for me."

"Ah, uhm, no maybe another time Diablo."

As I watched their interaction I could tell that Rimuru was barely holding himself back from agreeing, he likely only said no due to his Japanese upbringing, asking someone to change genders isn't something that's usually done after all.

But, I'm sure he'll crack in time.

I took a closer look at the Primordial of my Lineage, I could see that he was observing me as well, I'm sure this is a first for him, to see something completely new, something that was likely thought to be impossible.

"It is nice to meet you, Felix-sama."

"Ah, It's nice to meet you as well Diablo, I did always wonder what the Primordial of my Lineage would be like."

"Huh! Felix, he's the Primordial of your Lineage?! You never told me!"

"Ah, it must have slipped my mind, I am a Daemon belonging to the Black Lineage."

"Huh, I summoned someone really impressive then."

"Summoning any Primordial and living to tell the tale is impressive Rimuru."

"They really are some big shots huh?"

Sigh, this guy.

I look back towards Diablo, at which point he gives me a creepy grin, "Kihuhuhu, truly interesting, I will enjoy watching you grow Felix-sama, to have outgrown a Primordial, you must be truly special."

What the fuck is that laugh, that's creepy as hell.

"Ah, thanks I guess?"
