That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Again?

Offer

Wait Wait Wait! Ciel! Intimidation! Intimidation!

<<Am I not doing just that?>>

No! You're basically threatening them!

<<Right...>> Ciel says with a dissatisfied tone.

20 minutes earlier.

<<Master, the location Chloe and Shizue is in is near the east. To be exact, on the borderline of the empire.>>

The empire? Wait, how did he get that far so quickly...

<<Most likely, he was assisted.>>

Ah, right, I do recall Yuuki went to the empire to escape. But that was far off into the future! A year later I should say.

<<Master, you're forgetting the most important part.>>

Uh, yeah, what would that be!

<<Master's appearance this time is severely different from how it usually went. Yuuki must have been extra cautious towards the master, and decided to temporarily escape from your grasp.>>

Then why did he kidnap Chloe and Shizue?

<<I'm not sure, but it seems he somehow was made aware of Chloe's true identity, and immediately contacted Demon Lord Leon to retrieve her, hoping you would re-direct your anger from him.>>

Clever asshole. Well, I know Leon has good intentions, so I don't really mind if Chloe ends up in his hands. But what's more pressing is Chloe is still in Yuuki's hands, as well as Shizue.

<<The area seems to be affected by a barrier, I need to disarm it from the inside in order to destroy it.>>

Can you access it from the inside?

<<Of course!>>

Then go right ahea—

Wait!

<<Confirming body invasion by targeted user's own will...confirmed! I will now be using Shizue's body as a medium to operate from the inside, Lord Rimuru.>>

...Once again, I was too late to stop her. If Yuuki's trapping himself inside, then there's no reason for me to open it so that he can escape! 

Well, that was purely my fault. She just makes it sound so easy, that I unconsciously allow it. 

I wonder what's going on in there...

Well, it's Ciel we're talking about here, there's no need for me to worry.

"Ahhh!"

3 seconds later and I hear screaming as the barrier disappears. Is that Laplace...? Why is he screaming like that...

"Run!"

Yuuki, there you are. But... why is he also running with that expression? Did something scary happen?

It can't be, can't it?

After trying to escape from reality, as if trying to prove to me my delusions were unnecessary. Ciel, who's using Shizue's body, was chasing Yuuki and co with her cold-emotionless expression.

Ciel! What did you do to them, why do they have expressions of death's door reaching out to them!

<<Intimidation.>>

Hmm... incredibly suspicious, but it seems Ciel knows what she's doing. I've got business to deal with Yuuki, so seeing him scared shitless like that, honestly relieves me some of my anger.
