"Hey, hey, hey! That's too much! I'm still the World Mediator for now!"
Guy heard Zhong Chen's words and for a moment didn't know what to say.
If even a dog wouldn't do it, then what had he been doing all these years?
"Oh, really! So, by that, you mean you really want to do it?"
Zhong Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile as he unceremoniously questioned him.
"This..."
Guy was speechless at Zhong Chen's question.
Nonsense, if he wanted to do it, why would he ask Zhong Chen? This terrible position meant he had to manage two things every day.
One was that he had to manage this, and the other was that he had to manage that.
Now, he finally had a suitable candidate, but that person wasn't willing to do it either.
Did he really have to do it until he died? Uh... it seemed he couldn't even die.
"See, you can't say anything! You just want to make me take the blame!"
Zhong Chen looked at the speechless Guy, then stood up and pointed at him, shouting loudly.
"Ahem... if you don't want to do it, then let's talk about something else!"
Seeing that Zhong Chen really had no intention of taking over, Guy gave up that idea and instead asked about other things.
"I wonder if I can also go to other worlds to have a look?"
"You want to leave this world, what about your job?"
Zhong Chen was surprised to hear that Guy also wanted to go to the Pirate World and immediately asked.
He knew that Guy had to deal with a lot of things every day, and also had to constantly monitor the operation of the entire world.
Now that he wanted to leave, would this world be left unmanaged?
"I can let Blue and Green temporarily handle my work. I'm just going to other worlds to have a look; I'll be back soon!"
"I see. Alright, go if you want. Let Milim take you; she goes there often to play!"
Hearing that Guy had arranged everything, Zhong Chen stopped asking questions.
After all, Guy himself didn't think there was a problem, and he, an idle person, certainly wouldn't interfere.
He then turned his gaze to Milim, who was still rolling around on the ground.
"Milim, stop rolling around. Guy wants you to take him to the Pirate World!"
"Nani!!!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Milim immediately stopped her tantrum and looked at Guy in surprise.
"You want to go play too?"
"I'm going to do research, to see what's different between the other world and this one, not to play!"
Guy covered his forehead and explained with a helpless expression.
"It's all the same! Then let me take you! Hehe! I'll tell you, there are so many fun things in that world!"
"Every island is completely different!"
"And also..."
"Stop! If you have anything to say, say it when we get to the Pirate World!"
Looking at the endless Milim, Zhong Chen quickly interrupted.
"Mmm mmm mmm, stingy!"
"Guy! Let's go, we're ignoring A Chen now!"
With that, Milim pouted and pulled Guy, ready to leave.
Guy could only be pulled by Milim as he walked out, and just as they were about to reach the door.
Guy suddenly turned back and said to Zhong Chen:
"Are you really not considering the position of World Mediator? It comes with Misary (Green) and Rhein (Blue), you know!"
"If you don't think that's enough, I can be included too!"
Hearing Guy's words, Zhong Chen subconsciously wanted to reply, "No need to consider."
But then he heard the latter part and suddenly found himself a little tempted.
If he could get Blue, Green, and Guy all to come over, he would achieve a truly awesome accomplishment.
Vaguely, Zhong Chen seemed to see a golden prompt pop up before his eyes.
Congratulations, Player, for achieving: All Seven Primordial Demons are Mine!
Congratulations, Player, for lighting up the Illustrated Guide Bond: Seven Primordial Pillars!
"Ahem... that, allow me to consider it!"
Thinking of this, Zhong Chen coughed lightly twice and said to Guy with a conflicted expression.
"If you want, I can turn into a female!"
Seeing Zhong Chen's dilemma, Guy immediately upped the ante.
Zhong Chen's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this. Good heavens, you're really going all out to avoid work, aren't you?
Although Guy did indeed enter Velgrynd's mind in a female form in the original work.
But as soon as Zhong Chen saw Guy's current appearance, he found it a bit hard to accept Guy in a female form.
Moreover, in the original work, Guy seemed to be bisexual.
"That's really not necessary! Milim, hurry and take him away!"
"Hehe! Guy, let's go! A Chen is chasing us away!"
After saying that, Milim pulled Guy out of the room.
"By the way, should I accept it or not... I'm so conflicted!"
While Zhong Chen was still in a dilemma, Rimuru and the others, who had set off early, arrived not far from Clayman's castle.
"Rimuru-sama! According to the intelligence sent back by Souka, the number of troops currently gathered at Clayman's castle is approximately 20,000!"
"Should we launch a direct attack?"
Rimuru activated his perception ability and found that the strongest among these 20,000 people was only an A+.
He then seriously commanded Shuna, who was beside him:
"Alright, eliminate them!"
"Yes! Rimuru-sama!"
Upon receiving the order, the Imperial Guard Corps immediately began to march towards Clayman's castle.
"Hehe! Rimuru-sama, do I not need to make a move?"
Testarossa, standing beside Rimuru, asked with a slight smile.
"If you make a move, the Imperial Guard Corps won't have a chance to act!"
"These Guys are all incredibly excited because they get to act this time!"
Rimuru gently shook his head with a smile and explained to Testarossa.
It wasn't that the Imperial Guard Corps was so excited for no reason; it was because they had never made a move since their establishment.
It was the same last time in the Pirate World; they were finally transferred there, but the First Legion stole their thunder.
Alright, the commander-in-chief is your First Legion's commander, we accept that.
Then, when they finally had a chance to attack Mary Geoise.
Before they could even react, the other three legions, along with the First Legion, rushed in first.
This resulted in them being left behind to clean up the battlefield.
Now they finally had a real opportunity to act, and each of them looked as if they had seen something delicious.
They charged forward with howls.
"Let the Imperial Guard Corps deal with the army; we'll go meet this Guy Clayman!"
"It seems the Orc Lord incident was also caused by this Guy!"
"Yes! Rimuru-sama!"
On the other side, Clayman's assembled army was also discussing the Monster Country Federation.
"Yamza-sama! Is this Monster Country Federation really that powerful, that we need to gather so many people to attack it!"
A mercenary respectfully asked Yamza, who was seated at the head of the tent.
"Hmph! How dare you question Clayman-sama's decision? Do you have a death wish?"
Hearing his subordinate's words, Yamza looked at him coldly and warned him.
"This subordinate knows his mistake! I spoke out of turn!"
The subordinate immediately lowered his head, full of trepidation, fearing that Yamza might kill him if he became displeased.
"Mind your place. Some things are not for you to inquire about!"
"This subordinate understands!"
"Hmm!"
In fact, not only was this subordinate curious, but Yamza himself was also very curious.
He had never heard of the Monster Country Federation before, but he didn't dare to ask Clayman.
So he could only answer his subordinate's question in this way.
Thump... Just as Yamza was about to tell someone to go out and rest for a while, a figure stumbled and rushed in.
"Yamza-sama, enemy attack!!!"
"What!!!"
