Just wanted to say, thank you all who are still reading this fanfiction. Never thought I'd actually get this far with it but I'm glad I have.
Just to add on, since most of you are probably confused about the time..
It took me some debating but I eventually decided that Sivert stayed in the Cardinal World for 15, almost 16 years. Spending 4 with Shizue, spending 6 with Guy to train under him, spending 5 with Aurora and her fireteam. Already about to spend 1 year with Rimuru.
I'll have to make sure it's all right in the past chapters.
I'm not really following the original time of the main story as of now. Since currently Rimuru is.. 4 to 5 years old in the main story? I'll have to double check. He'll still be the same age, maybe a year older.
Right now, I'm following the Slime Diaries time, where he spent 1 year with the children after spending a few months with Milim and the other executives of Tempest.
And that year with the children is almost up, and those who read the Slime Diaries Manga know what's coming up next.
Hehe...
Also, I might take even longer to upload since of course, Light Fall is coming up in 4 days. I'm Excited! And I enjoyed the trailer. I got chills from it. I want to take my time and enjoy the content and hopefully get an even more better understanding of Strand, which Sivert has acquired the past 5 chapters. But also a better understanding of the Witness's abilities aside from moving worlds between dimensions.
Anyways, that's all.
Enjoy!
Chapter 26, More Old Faces...
It was hot..
The room, his bed..
His body..
Everything.. it was all hot. He shouldn't be affected by such.. temperature yet he was.
Sivert looked down at the two beauties..
Finishing up by cleaning his beloved son.
"There you go." Lethaea looked up at him and licked her lips.
She swallowed it?
Holy!..
Sivert couldn't..
He couldn't think straight. His entire body felt exhausted.. his mind felt exhausted.
It felt so good!
It felt like he was drained of everything..
Lyra pouted like a child, seeing Lethaea finish it made her jealous.
"Here. I saved some."
Lethaea quickly cupped her cheeks, kissing the warlock roughly.
Sivert..
He watched in disbelief as the two beauties began to make out. Their amazing naked bodies pressed against each other.
He backed up and plopped down onto his red sofa next to his bed. Still naked..
"Oh.."
He was panting heavily, resting his right arm above his head.
The Hunter has never experienced such.. pleasure!
"So. How'd you like your first time?" Lethaea asked her beloved as she gave him a loving gaze.
"Amazing.."
Sivert replied quietly, his breathing began to calm down.
"What about you? Sivert's is seven inches. Large for your first time."
Lethaea asked the warlock.
She herself was surprised from his size.. when it was aroused, it was seven inches. When it isn't.
It's five.
She didn't bother to properly measure, instead she made sure to pleasure it.
However she had a wild night! It was a beast!
And so did Lyra.
"Ahh.." Lethaea let out a little moan, she was laying facing up on the bed. Her head looking up at Sivert.
She also gave him a loving gaze.
"It was the best thing I've ever experienced. I hope I get knocked up."
Having his babies.. oh! It would be a dream come true!
"Me to.." Lethaea herself has had that fantasy.
For a long time.
Sivert's eyes widened in realization.
Words of his mother echoed in his head.
"You better practice safe!"
The day he turned eighteen and the days to go on, she always reminded him..
Be safe..
Unless he wants a kid.
And Sivert hates kids!
"Ahh… Shit..!"
He whispered with a little anger.
"You moron Sivert…"
He quietly added on and facepalmed. He was mentally cursing himself over and over as Lethaea and Lyra began to kiss some more.
He was to blinded by the pleasure to properly think.
The two stopped kissing and Lethaea slowly got off the bed, she moved towards Sivert and gently sat down on his left knee, pressing her body against him.
"I love you.." she whispered as she playfully bit his left ear.
Lyra also joined in, mustering up the strength to walk, despite her legs pleading her not to.
She sat down on his right knee and pressed her naked body against his.
Sivert wrapped both arms around their waist, holding them close.
"Do you love us?"
They asked in unison, their eyes full of curiosity.
"I- I'm not sure. But I will always treasure the love you two have for me."
Sivert responded, holding them tight. The two women giggled and began to playfully tease him.
Giving him kisses and nibbling on his neck or ears.
The two women leaned close and licked his cheeks.
Ahh!
Sivert couldn't take this! He was going to lose his mind if they kept toying with him!
"Well.. let's make you love us."
"Yes, then we can get married!"
The two fantasized as they continued to kiss him.
However Sivert stopped them.
"Sorry but.. I'm already wed."
Those sudden words struck both of them hard.
"What?"
"To Who!?"
Their loving gazes and voices were replaced with demanding and slightly angered tones.
Who the fuck! Got their hands on Sivert before she did?! That was all Lethaea wanted to know!
"It better not be some tavern wench!" Lyra added on.
Oh how she was about go on a murdering spree.
"No! No. Calm down. I'm married to Aria." Sivert casually stated.
The two women were silent, staring at him with eyes full of confusion.
They finally spoke.
"Sivert.. your joking right?" Lethaea asked.
"No.. I'm married to Aria."
Lethaea smirked and laughed, Lyra joining in.
This was a joke.
It had to be!
"Why are you laughing?"
"Because your funny."
"I'm not trying to be funny though. Look."
Sivert showed the two his right hand, there was a beautiful golden ring with blue gems on it on his ring finger.
The two looked down at it.
"Your serious?"
"Yup."
Did no one seriously know that?
He swore it was obvious. Rimuru even knew! Aria was always helping him with assisting Sivert on his teachings on what it is to be a man for she wasn't good at it.
It's why she left it up to Rimuru to teach Sivert everything.
Aria even has blue jewels on her mythical grade shell. Her shell matched his ring..
"I thought that was just a ring to show off.." Lyra whispered in disbelief. He did like to wear fancy clothing and accessories.
"No.. were married and have been married for five, almost six years."
Lethaea shook her head, trying to fully understand this.
"Your married to Aria?"
"Yup."
"Your ghost?"
"Mhm."
The two beauties couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Sivert… she's. A ghost."
"So?"
What was wrong with that?
He loved his beloved Aria.
"You can't marry a ghost."
"Yeah I can."
Nobody was about to tell him that he can't love and marry his Aria!
The two women still couldn't believe this..
"You can't even have sex with her. What kind of marriage is that!" Lethaea demanded.
She knew for sure had she married Sivert.
She'd be pleasuring him every single day! In the mornings and in the nights!
Marriage without some sweet lovemaking! It's.. it's a joke!
"So? I can still marry her." Sivert again, casually replied.
"Then why did you proceed to make love to both of us? If your married!"
He totally cheated on her!
"Well, Aria gave me permission."
Lyra and Lethaea looked at each other for a moment before looking back at Sivert.
"Ok, screw this. Call her in here now." Lethaea demanded as she got off of Sivert's knee along with Lyra.
So Sivert did, Aria was in Lyra's room during the whole night along with Lyra's Ghost Nemo and Lethaea's Ghost Ajax.
"Good morning. I hope you had fun." Aria was quick to greet her husband. Flying towards him and proceeding to lay on his shoulder.
He gave her a gentle kiss on the shoulder once he put on black boxers.
"Aria. Are you two seriously married?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, you didn't know?"
Lethaea and Lyra shook their heads. Their ghost couldn't even believe it!
"Since when?!" they both asked in unison.
"Soon after Sivert brought me back to life. I swore I'd never leave him or let him leave my sight, so I demanded we get married so no other women haves him. He's all mine! It's not really a legal marriage in any of the kingdoms but who cares! As long as we love each other!" Aria proudly stated, snuggling up against Sivert's neck.
"How come you guys didn't tell me? Or anybody?" Lyra quickly asked in anger, crossing her arms.
"Isn't it obvious? He has a ring that matches the jewels on my shell. We thought you guys already knew." Aria casually replied, just like her beloved husband.
The two women stared in silence before Lethaea broke it.
"You don't care that we had our way with him last night?"
"Nope, I can't do any of that sadly. So why not let the two women who love him nearly as I do have some fun with him."
Aria's reply was truthful.. and her happy tone proved that.
"Ok… um. Then do you mind if we continue this sexual relationship?"
Lethaea did not want that to be a onetime thing, and neither did Lyra. Though she wouldn't publicly admit it yet.
"Sure.. just don't try to add another women to the list. I'm only tolerating you two because I like you both! The last women I tolerated broke Sivert's heart by betraying him, so I hope you're not like her."
Well that was good to hear.
However..
"Woah? 'Last Women.' Who's this last women?" Lethaea asked in her demanding tone.
Only to receive a harsh response.
"Doesn't matter, she's not relevant now and most likely never will be. So shut up and don't ask about her again." Aria quickly shut the question up with cold words.
Her cold tone managed to silence the two women. Surprising them both since she was always so nice..
Whoever this women was must've pissed her off so pretty bad.
The ghost looked at her Guardian, he was silent, looking up at the ceiling, he closed his eyes.
It annoyed her.. every day it did.
Velzard still had a hold on his heart. The way she treated him with kindness, love. Sivert didn't know it, but Aria did.
He was in love with her.
He was always enjoying his time with her. The affection he received.
They were close back then, still. Despite all the love she's shown Sivert.
Aria will never forgive her! She betrayed him! Breaking the promise she made about protecting him and helping him against Guy if the time ever came.
But now, she knew her grip on his big beautiful heart was fragile.
Soon..
Soon Sivert will be free of her, Aria knows he will.
Lyra and Lethaea will be the ones to remove her grip. With their love and teasing..
Aria will ensure it.
With that over with.
The three lovers indulged in some more kissing and teasing on the bed until Sivert decided it was time to get up before he lost all sanity and became a mindless sex beast.
He had work to do and..
He had to tell someone of his achievements.
The Hunter was quickly putting on a fresh pair of clothes, once he finished and walked out of his closet he caught Lyra and Lethaea back to making out on his bed, both on their knees and embraced by each other's arms.
They stopped and looked at him with a loving gaze.
"You sure you don't want to stay a little longer? Just to have some more fun with us?" Lethaea teasingly asked.
Her hands moving down and squeezing Lyra's buttocks. Pressuring Sivert.
Because he loved squeezing theirs butts!
Sivert was in a whole civil war with himself but he was quick to come to a decision.
"No.. maybe later."
The two beauties both pouted in their own cute manner but eventually accepted his choice.
They went back to their make out session and Sivert watched for a little longer as they went further..
Lethaea wanted to have fun with Lyra now, even after having such passionate and rough sex with her beloved.
She was still aroused.. so she's going to use Lyra!
Sivert quickly regained his composure and departed, leaving the women to indulge in their own love making.
It was dark.. the room was cold but Rimuru liked It that way. Especially when he wore his comfy blue blanket made by Shuna!
The white pillow was also soft and cold.
This was the best..
"Rimuru!"
"AHHH!?"
Rimuru jumped up and quickly got into a defensive stance, only to find Sivert standing by his door.
"What are you doing just appearing out of nowhere like that?!" The slime shouted in anger.
He was laying in such a good spot! And it was creepy when Sivert did that!
"Sorry. I need to you tell you something! It's important!" Sivert replied in excitement.
Rimuru noticed the clothing he was wearing was different then what he usually wore.
A simple white shirt with brown pants and black socks? What?! He's not even wearing shoes!
However it looked like he rushed to put the clothes on so whatever he has to say must be important.
Rimuru sighed in annoyance before sitting down and crossing his legs. "Alright sure.. sit down here."
As Sivert got closer to sit down in front of Rimuru the slime noticed a strange smell..
It came from Sivert!
"When was the last time you've taken a bath?"
He smelled like sweat and.. something else.
"A day ago. I was going to take one right after this."
Sivert couldn't stop smiling, he was so happy for some reason.
"Alright.. what do you need to tell me?"
The Hunter chuckled nervously as he pondered on how to start, he scratched his neck while in turn pushing the collar of his shirt down, giving Rimuru a good view of some marks on his neck..
Rimuru's eyes widened in realization. That smell confirmed it..
Those marks on his neck confirmed it..
"You traitor.." He whispered before Sivert could speak.
"What?"
"Shut up!"
Sivert did as he was told and stayed silent. Trying to figure out what he did wrong to receive such treatment.
Rimuru crossed his arms and shook his head.
The two sat there in silence as Rimuru pondered on how to punish this dirty little traitor.
However…
He couldn't bring himself to, at least not yet. Also, he must've been forced right? No way Sivert would fail to resist a women. Not with the training Rimuru gave him.
So after a long minute of silence he decided to ask the main question.
"How did it feel?"
Given permission to speak he did.
"Amazing… I never thought I'd have two women as my fir-"
"WHAT!?"
Rimuru shouted in disbelief from those words. Probably waking every person in the building up and around the neighborhood.
"You laid with two women?"
Sivert gave a silent nod in response.
"I bet one was that lewd Hunter. Lethaea. She seduced you! Damnit I should've trained you harder."
Part of this was Rimuru's fault for not strengthening Sivert's resistance to women, he facepalmed and shook his head once again.
Still.. Sivert had a full on threesome!
Now he was a double traitor!
"Who was the other?" Rimuru asked..
And that was an order to..
"Lyra."
Of course…
Rimuru saw that coming by how close they were. He just didn't think it'd be so soon.
He closed his eyes.
"Well.. congratulations."
Sivert's smile grew wider.
Rimuru opened his eyes and gave Sivert a demanding look, "Now tell me all about it."
"Understood!"
Rimuru was told everything.
He was so lucky!
"Agh! I'm so jealous!"
Sivert chuckled a little in embarrassment as Rimuru rolled around on the floor, crying out of jealousy.
Especially when Sivert blurted out the size of his manhood!
He was an Alpha Male! A King! Had Rimuru been human still, he would've started worshipping the Hunter!
This went on for a few minutes until he managed to regain his composure.
The slime sat back up, crossing his arms.
"So what do you plan on doing with them?"
Rimuru was curious if Sivert was going to marry them. It's why he asked. Rimuru sure would if he was him.
Sivert stared at him for a moment before finally responding.
"I.. don't think I love them. But.. they are my women and I will treasure the affection they shower me with." He declared with determination in his eyes.
Rimuru looked into the dark golden eyes of his friend. The Slime sighed once again and uncrossed his arms.
"Two women.. heh. I'm proud of you for ascending to a plane I'll never go.." Rimuru felt like he was looking at his student.
And in a way he was, He taught Sivert everything about being a man, his teachings were the main reason why Sivert started to have so many lewd thoughts, thoughts he's never had before.
He was proud of him but still disappointed for getting seduced by that Hunter!
"Now.. go take a bath you stink. We can talk more another time."
Rimuru's confident Lethaea is going to ask to speak with him again since their whole 'business' meeting was cancelled.
And Sivert will most likely be there. He just hopes it's not during a day he's busy.
"I will. And don't worry. I'm sure you will be able to figure out a way on how to experience the same pleasure I felt. See ya."
Sivert gave him a small wave before vanishing.
Rimuru stared in silence before slowly leaning down and burying his face against his pillow.
"Why couldn't I reincarnate into a young handsome man like him.." he pouted and cried.
It would take a while for him to regain his will to proceed in life..
It's been a week and a half since that night, he's of course done it once again with the two. With Aria's permission, the relationship continued.
During this period of time Sivert has also been focusing on the Guardians.
Within the span of a few days, several Guardians from Nimerah's command arrived at the Temple.
There was at least a few hundred!
It was a beautiful sight!
What's more, the Guardians Lethaea had under her command started arriving as well.
The Temple was packed! And Sivert needed to start figuring out a new place to live.
As he searched, many Guardians have already decided to follow him.
Of course there were a bunch who challenged him, mostly Titans. However they were all defeated with ease.
"Use your Light." Nimerah suggested as Sivert battled many Guardians.
He did just that.
His Light was bright and strong, even attracting several ghosts to him.
Stating "He's like the Traveler but stronger."
Those words were enough for the Guardians to follow him.
Currently they numbered up to about 4,438 Lightbearer's with more on the way according to Nimerah.
Lethaea also seems to have a few more on the way.
It made Sivert so happy..
Not only because of the amount of Lightbearer's but..
The balance of power in the world that the Demon Lord Guy so dearly cherished was destroyed so easily..
Even if he doesn't know it, it still made Sivert laugh every morning and night before going to bed.
Because this was his revenge!
Sivert doesn't plan on waging war on Guy unless need be but messing with him is enough for Sivert.
He still has many plans, such as infecting the minds of his demons using Darkness. Feeding on their desires for power.
Messing with his ranks and causing chaos!
Sivert couldn't wait!
As of now though, Sivert will focus on the Guardians he has under him.
Cause there.. are a few issues and reports he's been getting from Nimerah.
The Hunter was currently in his office and was in a meeting..
In his office was the Warlock's Nimerah, Kaguya and Aurora.
There was some trouble, concerning the warlock Kaguya.
"How could you train someone like her!"
Nimerah demanded and slammed both her hands onto Sivert's desk before pointing at Kaguya who sat elegantly on the couch in the middle of his office.
"I saw myself in her. That's all." Sivert casually replied.
"She's a bloodthirsty warlock who'd probably kill just for fun if you weren't here! Do you have any idea what monster you created?"
Sivert sighed and brought both his hands together.
According to Nimerah, Kaguya's been using her teammates in the crucible as bait or meat shields to defeat her enemies, and her methods of.. killing her opponents were also to brutal.
It's been effective but.. Nimerah couldn't just accept watching Kaguya throw a Titan into an oncoming tracking Nova Bomb to shield herself.
"If she was do you think I would've trained her? Kaguya is disciplined and has already proven to be by simply following your order's has she not?"
Nimerah turned around to look at Kaguya who's eyes were closed. She turned back to look at Sivert.
"That's because of you! I will not allow someone like her to fight alongside our Lightbearer's! She's a sociopath! Have you not seen the way she's acted around others?"
Nimerah asked, desperately wanting an answer.
"I have and-"
"And yet you sit here! Allowing her to use her own teammates during crucible matches as bait! Or meat shields! She doesn't give a damn about anyone but herself and you."
Kaguya was known for being a big fanatic for Sivert, Aurora even claims she secretly started to worship him after being trained by him.
The Hunter helped her get back on her feet after all. She was close to their old fireteam member Ike, who was like a big brother to her. His death dragged her into depression, only to get saved by Sivert.
Sivert didn't think too much of it since it felt like everyone in this temple was a fanatic for him but then again.
Kaguya was strange.
He stood up.
However while Kaguya's ways were cruel.. Sivert would defend her. For he's seen wore.
"That's called Strength! In this world! The weak die! And the strong live! It's a rule that's been going on for millions of years! You have no idea what's out there and if were to survive were going to need to be strong! All of us!"
It was the first time anyone's heard Sivert shout, yet Nimerah persisted.
"So your willing to allow her and others like her to use the weak as bait? Living shields? Just so they could defeat their opponents?"
Sivert's golden eyes stared into Nimerah's blue ones.
His pupils narrowed.
"Why do you think I had this place built? Why do you think I'm desperate to gather every Lightbearer in this world? To help them all get strong! Cause right now there's people out in this world capable of simply snapping their fingers and killing you all. I don't want that! We've already lost the Last City! Our Humanity! Only together and only through strength can we ensure our survival!"
Nimerah finally remained silent and stayed silent. Still, she could not accept Kaguya..
"Kaguya's ways are brutal yes! But we've all done brutal things just to win.."
Sivert's seen it all.
Using teammates as bait was nothing compared to the things he saw Lightbearer's perform.
Titan's ripping the arms off of Vandals and laughing as they slowly died in a puddle of their own Ether.
Hunter's feeding Dregs to Cabal Warbeasts for fun.
Warlock's slowly taking their time to drain the life force of their opponents with Void Light just so they could watch and hear them cry and beg.
Sivert knew.. he and every single other Lightbearer were no Saints..
He himself has.. done horrible things to ensure his survival or his victory.
And Nimerah herself has as well.
No one in this Temple was innocent..
And never will be.
"May I propose something?"
The Warlock Aurora who stood in the corner of the room asked and walked forward to stand next to Nimerah.
Sivert gave her a light nod in response.
"Kaguya has changed drastically since we've found her. She's changed even more when we met you Sivert. She's obsessed with you, Nimerah is right. Having her fight alongside us is not a wise choice. I propose that you give Kaguya a different role, something that allows her to be close to you."
Sivert and everyone else turned to look at Kaguya.
She finally opened her eyes.
She turned to look at Nimerah, the elf was glaring at her for a moment before stopping.
She sighed and gave her response.
"I'm fine with that if.. she is." Nimerah said, it was as good as it was going to get.
Keeping her close to Sivert was a wise choice.
"I accept." Kaguya was quick to give her answer.
Sivert gave another light nod in response.
"Then it's settled then. Kaguya you will no longer operate under Nimerah's command and will report to me from now on. I hope you will get along with Misora."
Kaguya gave him a quick nod. Both beings fanatics for Sivert. They indeed will get along just well.
"Thank you for hearing me out and I apologize for my outburst.." Nimerah gave Sivert a friendly, apologetic bow.
"I'm sorry as well.. but it's just how things are in this world and it's not our right to try and change it. The best we can do is prevent the deaths of millions from the powerful.."
Satisfied, Nimerah walked out with Aurora in tow, leaving Kaguya with Sivert.
"I was only following your teachings.."
Kaguya said in a quiet tone.
"I know and you did well." Sivert assured as he sat back down.
Though he doesn't remember teaching her to use teammates as baits. He did teach her to survive no matter what, even if you can come back from the dead.
Kaguya stood up, "I have?"
The Hunter gave her a thumbs up in response along with a bright smile.
Kaguya's heart fluttered with absolute joy.
"Forgive me for asking, but knowing how generous you are. Is it possible for me to receive an award for my hard work?"
She did get stronger..
Sivert crossed his arms. "What do you want?'
Kaguya raised her right hand, her lips parted and she gave her answer.
Well..
This..
This was nice.
Sivert did not expect this.
Apparently all Kaguya wanted was to give him a lap pillow in the garden and Sivert would be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying it.
Her thighs were comfy!
Kaguya was enjoying this as well, giggling like a little girl from time to time as she played with his soft hair or watched him show a pleased expression.
Truly a bliss!
Once she was satisfied, Sivert returned to his office and got back to work while he sent Kaguya to Vince to get a new weapon. The Titan was still pissed about Raze Lighter getting destroyed, he even refused to make another weapon for Lyra. Leaving her to pick from her vault.
Sivert sat down in his chair, preparing to get back to work.
Well he wanted to get back to work.
The doors to his office were opened before he could even read another report and two familiar Lightbearer's entered.
The Titan Sim, and the Hunter Ivory.
"Sivert.. hey.. how you doing?" Ivory greeted, though by her tone and expression.
She was nervous.
"What'd you two do.." Sivert asked while rolling his eyes, knowing what their tone meant.
These two were troublemakers and whenever they got in trouble, they'd always run to him for help. Using his kindness to their advantage.
Though he didn't mind it much before.. He's not in the mood for problems right now.
"Well.." Ivory scratched the back of her head, finding the best way to explain the situation.
The Hunter crossed his arms and stared at the destroyed building. He slowly shook his head.
He was cursing quietly in Japanese.
A beautiful two story house outside of Tempest.
One just for Sivert.
The House Rimuru had Geld build for him..
According to Ivory, her and Sim were practicing their battlewill arts out around here when she unleashed a powerful aura slash mixed with her arc Light.
It paved through the forest until making its way here, destroying the home and even injuring a few of the Orc's.
Had Geld been here at the time, he might've been able to stop it with his shield but sadly he wasn't.
Sivert turned slightly to the right, "Sorry about them.."
He apologized to Geld for this situation.
Though Geld was kind and forgiving most of the time, this time. He wasn't so forgiving.
He didn't like when his hard work was destroyed, especially when the ones responsible are trying to get out of it by taking advantage of Sivert because of his kindness.
"How will they pay for the damage they caused?" Geld asked Sivert while glaring at the two guardians on their knees.
Their armor in ruins, they were bleeding from places they didn't even know they could bleed from!
Sivert beat them to a pulp once he got here and prevented their ghosts from healing them.
Quick but a brutal beating..
"I don't know.. how will they?"
Sivert turned around to look down at the two.
"We don't have enough points to pay for it.." Ivory said, coughing up blood as she did.
Of course they didn't..
Sivert should've expected that, knowing they blow all of their earned points on food.
Sivert fixed a glance back at the destroyed home.
"Well then. How about rebuilding it by yourselves?"
"Eh!?" the two were caught off guard by that. Ignoring the pain their injuries caused.
"Is that ok with you Geld-san?"
Geld simply smiled and gave Sivert a small nod in response.
"Great."
"Wait! Sivert!"
Ivory and Sim started to beg. When did he become so cruel!? The beating was fine though painful but..
Usually he'd give them a minor punishment, such as taking care of his two dire wolves for a week!
Not..
Building an entire home! They can't do that! It'll take years!
They kill stuff and destroy things.. they don't create things!
"You better get to work before I get more creative with you two." Sivert threatened with a cold voice.
His dark golden eyes glared down on them, they could just see all the ideas he had to punish them within that glare.
There was no end to his creativity…
The two Lightbearer's quickly obeyed and ran towards the instruction manual Geld placed on a workbench for them.
Sivert sighed and shook his head..
Hopefully..
That was the last issue he had this week.
A Few Days Later
Why did he have to be here.
In the same room with..
With that beautiful lust crazed women who already got her hands on Sivert and his precious virginity.
Who was now his girlfriend? Maybe.. he didn't know what she was. Only she and Sivert were still sleeping together.
Oh how Rimuru was jealous of his friend, still.
Rimuru hated this because he was nervous around her! He slowly turned his head to the right, even Mjollmile-kun looked nervous!
Earlier, Lethaea contacted him about continuing their business meeting but Rimuru rejected the invitation since he was busy for the day.
So, she requested help from the man she so dearly loved.
Rimuru was peacefully enjoying his breakfast until suddenly he was pulled into some black portal and then arriving here.
In her office!
It was obvious Sivert brought him here because he was here as well! Sitting on a red couch in the middle of the room.
Lethaea sat down on her leather chair, behind her desk and Rimuru along with Mjollmile sat on the opposite side of her wooden desk on their respective chair's.
"Why am I here?"
Rimuru asked, breaking the silence.
"What do you mean why? We have business to discuss! Isn't that right Mjollmile-kun?"
The nervous merchant only nodded in response to his idol. He was amazed Rimuru who he deems a Goddess was here..
Then again.. it was Lethaea. She's pulled off the crazy before.
"Ok.. so what business are you talking?" Rimuru wasn't sure what she wanted since their last meeting was canceled before they could even discuss business.
Only that she wanted to get involved with his Nation.
Lethaea slammed both her hands on her desk, scaring Rimuru a little.
How the hell was that desk still standing?! Especially with Lethaea's current strength.
"It's simple! I want to invest in you! I'm pretty sure Mjollmile-san said the same thing but I truly do. If Tempest were to become the heart of trade in the near future, it would be in my best interest to get along with its leader."
Rimuru was surprised to hear that.
Because..
Mjollmile literally said the same thing. He really did take off of her when it came to business.
"Alright then. I'll give it a shot, I look forward to doing business with you.
Despite how crazy she can be. Rimuru is confident Lethaea will be a very useful business partner just like Mjollmile.
"Great. Mjollmile-kun is that fine with you? It's been a while since we last worked together. I'd like to get back to the old days if we could." Lethaea asked her student.
The merchant simply smirked and stood up.
"Of course I'm fine with it Lethaea-chan." He replied in a proud manner.
"Awesome! Let's make a bunch of money!" Lethaea shouted, standing up from her chair and reaching over her desk to shake both of their hands.
Rimuru smiled, he liked the sound of that!
After several minutes of talking and discussing Mjollmile soon departed and Lethaea was given permission to begin operations in Tempest.
Rimuru was expected to depart as well since he had to get back to the children but he was curious on something and he had a matter to settle.
"Lethaea-san. What services do you offer? I know you're a merchant but there's other stuff you do right? I noticed how you wanted to avoid the Western Holy Church back at that bar of yours."
Lethaea leaned back in her leather rolling chair and span around slowly.
"Things considered illegal apparently. Those bastards have been pressuring me only because I don't believe in their little god who has never shown their damn face."
She continued on, stating her disbelief of the god Luminous.
Sivert looked away to not meet Lethaea's eyes since he was a bad liar and she always knew when he was keeping something secret or lying.
Though he has his dislikes about her, He'll keep his promise he made to Demon Lord Luminous Valentine.
She was the 'God' humanity believes in after all.
Rimuru himself forgot how serious humanity was about their God. Every day he has Great sage remind him to be careful and not reveal his identity as a monster in public.
He still has his old human traits and keeps forgetting he's a slime sometimes.
As Lethaea span around in her chair she looked at Sivert..
She sighed and stopped spinning around. This was his friend..
So why not build up Rimuru's trust? She thought.
So she added on.
"And because I'm not selling the weapons I manufacture to them. Who knows what havoc they'd wreak."
Sivert was glad she was on the same page. It's best they don't meddle with things they do not understand.
Even Guy Crimson had the same mindset.
"I see.." Rimuru whispered. It's obvious she's manufacturing guns and.. probably other crazy modern day weapons. Or maybe sci-fi like weapons from Sivert's universe?
She did establish a transmat system in her home, though according to her it's more of a 'rip off' version since it doesn't have good range nor is it capable of transmatting one within seconds. Taking a minute or two to actually transmat them once they were locked on.
How she built it was thanks to her ghost Ajax who was capable of giving Lethaea and her subordinates proper instructions. They had to fix it up of course, they use spatial magic to have the transmat system properly operate.
Rimuru became even more curious about her operations.
Fufu..
Getting in business with her was a good idea. He was a greedy person, he won't deny it. But he knows his limits, so he'll just have to wait patiently until he can get his hands on some juicy rocket launchers or machine guns!
He smirked as more mischievous thoughts flooded his mind.
"I'm not a bad person though. I'll make sure to prove that, just don't double cross me.."
Lethaea's voice became cold and Rimuru was receiving one hell of a glare! Washing away all of those greedy and mischievous thoughts.
"Or else I'll have a dead slime hanging on my wall.."
As if it wasn't there, the glare and cold tone was replaced with her usual cheerful one tone and expression.
"Kay?"
Rimuru only gave a silent nod in response. It felt like she peered into his very soul..
Lethaea stood up and walked over to her small bar next to her desk, as she poured herself a drink, Rimuru turned around in his chair and looked at Sivert.
He was looking back at him..
"Hm. I just remembered, I have to punish you."
"Huh?"
Sivert was caught off guard by that! What did he do!?
"Yup, I just know how to punish you."
Rimuru grinned, scaring Sivert a little...
Huh..
This isn't what the Hunter expected.
This wasn't even a punishment in his eyes.
"Let me ride a sparrow!"
Rimuru demanded..
Of course Sivert accepted, he took the slime to a dirt road near Tempest. One Rimuru gave to Sivert and the Lightbearer's, allowing for some small sparrow racing. Since there was no one here, Rimuru had the whole road to himself.
The two were here with Lethaea and Ranga who left Rimuru's shadow at his orders.
The slime stared at the sparrow in front of him..
"Is it supposed to be on fire?" He asked the Hunter with a slightly concerned voice.
This was Sivert's personal sparrow.
'Burnout'
"I don't know. The Hunter Marcus who gave it to me said it wasn't supposed to be on fire and that he couldn't get it to stop burning. Only the solar energy is not fully contained.. but it's safe to ride on! I know because I rode on it all the time!" Sivert assured with a bright smile.
"Well.. unlike you. I don't lives to spare." Rimuru whispered, he could feel Lethaea's gaze on him. She knew he was nervous, making her chuckle as she drank her wine.
{Notice. It is safe to ride, it is not strong enough to destroy master.} His unique skill Great Sage even insisted..
Still, Rimuru had some questions before riding this.
"Does the fire ever go out?"
"Not as far as I can tell. This baby has been burning for a long time." Sivert replied as be put both his hands on his hips.
Rimuru crossed his arms, "It still seems dangerous though.."
Lethaea continued to snicker at the Slime and Sivert shrugged.
"Like I said, the Hunter Marcus said it was stable for now, but he wasn't sure how long it'll last. It could explode at any second."
That didn't help Rimuru much.
However he had to admit..
"That's pretty cool."
"Right?"
The two grinned and stood in silence, watching the charred sparrow burn.
Rimuru eventually sighed and turned around to look up at Sivert, "Can't I ride a different one?"
He's already died once.. and riding something like that is just to much for him.
"Pussy." Lethaea whispered as she leaned back against the tree.
"Shut up! I don't have unlimited lives like you." Rimuru shouted at the Hunter as he pointed at her.
Lethaea smirked, she chugged her bottle of whine and threw it on the ground. Breaking the glass bottle and scaring Rimuru a little.
Did he piss her off?
The Hunter walked past Rimuru and Sivert who both watched her sit down on the sparrow. She locked eyes with Rimuru.
"Life isn't fun if your not taking risks.. Pussy.."
She whispered again before taking off, leaving a trail of dust in front of Rimuru. Angering him a little, but he wasn't going to fall for her bait. He turned back around to look at Sivert once again.
"Just get me a different one."
Sivert shrugged once again.
"Ok."
So he did.
Rimuru smiled at the sight of the second sparrow. Now, this one looked safer to ride.
(Externalization Sparrow.)
"Hehe.."
Rimuru was so excited.
"Looks to big for you." Lethaea pointed out as she returned with Sivert's sparrow.
Rimuru ignored her comment, already realizing that his height was to small. So he forcefully increased his height by just two inches, making him look like a young women. He slowly moved over and gently sat down on the sparrow.
Placing both his feet on the pedals and gently grabbing both the handles.
"Now you turn it on." Sivert told him as he pointed at the button in the middle of the screen.
Rimuru tapped on the button, it reminded him of the times he'd use a tablet or a phone.
This sparrow was already his favorite.
The Sparrow turned on, floating slightly above the ground, Rimuru felt the seat vibrate slightly.
He had chills, it felt like the time he first turned on a car!
"Now, just gently push on the pedal-"
"AHHHHH!"
Rimuru took off within an instant at quick speeds.
"Oh right.. I forgot to adjust the settings of that sparrow.." Sivert whispered as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
He likes to go fast all the time, so he changed it to where you just to slightly push on the pedals to take off at full speed.
Luckily Rimuru managed to quickly get accustomed to it.
"Wooooo! This is amazing!" He shouted in a clear voice, despite the wind blowing against his face
Sivert and Lethaea watched as Rimuru blew right past them.
"Mm..? He's got a knack for sparrows. Should have him join the sparrow races in the future." Lethaea told her fellow Hunter in amazement. She herself took some time to get used to a sparrow, seeing Rimuru easily best her made her a little jealous.
"Maybe."
Sivert crossed his arms and watched as Rimuru once again blew past them. He was going a few hundred miles per hour? Pretty fast..
He wondered how Rimuru was able to quickly adapt to the controls. Was it because he's seen his memories?
It could be..
Sivert's thoughts were interrupted as he heard a quiet whine, he turned his head to the left. It was Ranga..
And Sivert could feel his jealousy..
"Don't worry. He's not going to abandon you." Sivert told him.
Ranga shook his head and stood tall. "Ha! You need not to tell me that. I know master would never abandon me for a simple toy!" He proudly stated in response.
Sivert raised a brow, staring at the dire wolf in silence.
His stare easily broke through Ranga's last defense, his ears drooped and he looked down at the ground in sadness.
"There There..."
Sivert began to comfort the saddened Ranga with some pets and scratches.
After several minutes of going around the trail, Rimuru finally stopped in front of the trio. He turned off the sparrow and hopped off.
"That was amazing! Thank you!" Rimuru yelled with a happy smile.
Then he quickly remembered! This was a punishment.
He cleared his throat, "I mean! Your Punishment is over with. You are no longer a traitor." he said with a tough like tone.
Sivert only chuckled in response. "Your welcome and thank you.."
Rimuru nodded and turned to look at Ranga, he looked extremely sad and Rimuru was quick to realize why.
"If you want. You can keep it." Sivert told him. He wanted to build a stronger relationship with Rimuru.
Rimuru was quick to reply.
"No." He shook his head. "I'm ok. Sparrows are cool but loyal companions are even better!" He claimed, walking up to Ranga and giving him many pets and scratches.
His sadness was washed away, replaced with utter happiness. Sivert watched the two bond together, making him smile.
That reminds him, he has to visit Fenrir and Shiva.. He'll do that later.
With the 'punishment' over, Rimuru departed back to the academy, stating. "I've been gone for to long."
He didn't want to worry the children. He also told Lethaea or Sivert not to contact him for several days, wanting to avoid her.. and other Lightbearer's. They were all to crazy for him.
Once he left, Sivert departed back to his office in his Temple with Lethaea.
Once he sat down on his chair Lethaea quickly sat down on his lap sideways, wrapping both arms around his neck.
Sivert smiled and she returned it.
Their faces moved closer as they desired to kiss each other.
Sadly..
The doors to Sivert's office opened stopping them.
This is the one thing Sivert hated about being in an intimate relationship with someone. There's always a moment when you desire to give them affection until something or someone shits on the moment.
"Sivert.. we have a slight issue."
It was Nimerah, she entered with Aurora in tow and they closed the doors.
Lethaea grumbled in annoyance since her alone time with Sivert was trashed on. She got off his lap and stood up, crossing her arms.
"What is it?"
The Warlock gulped, the calm expression she always portrayed was replaced with a nervous one.
Sivert's never seen her like this, aside from the time they dueled and she witnessed his strength firsthand.
Nimerah walked towards his desk.
"Well not really an issue but.. a surprise."
"Hm?"
Nimerah gulped once again.
Suddenly the doors to Sivert's office were flung open and sent flying in the direction of his desk.
Sivert, Lethaea and Nimerah all ducked just in time.
Sadly Aurora was unable to react to quick enough due to the speed the doors were flying.
She was struck and pinned to the wall behind Sivert, groaning in pain..
"So! It is true. Ha! I knew it was you when they described you! Oh how I missed you!"
A large heavily muscular man, who was an inch taller than Lord Shaxx entered while Lethaea moved to help Aurora get unpinned.
He wore a black sleeveless top with a golden collar, black fingerless gloves, black pants and boots.
He had white skin, dark hair and dark blue eyes.
Oh he was a Titan alright. One Sivert quickly recognized due to his face and eyes.
"Evander?" Sivert called out to his old friend who was deemed deceased shortly after the Taken War due to him not appearing anywhere or being sighted.
The name of his friend caught Lethaea's attention, causing her to click her tongue in annoyance.
She knew the Titan but never took much interest in him because of the destruction he always caused.
Lethaea saw him as a danger to Sivert and did her best to keep her beloved away from him when he was a new Light.
But that big bastard always knew how to convince him to come with him on missions.
"I'm glad you remember me. Look at you. You look amazing!"
The Large Titan swooped in at superhuman speeds, capturing Sivert in a big bear hug, ignoring the desk he just ruthlessly destroyed.
He hugged him with all his strength. The strength of a Full Fledged Saint!
Had Sivert not been strong as a True Dragon, his body would've exploded into a pool of blood.
Sivert smiled a little.
He wasn't to surprised about it to be honest, after Lyra and then Lethaea's appearance, Sivert expected more friends to show up, either in the form of a reincarnation or.. just show up alive.
"Come here you!"
Lethaea who tried to sneak away was quickly captured by Evander's right hand, unable to match his raw strength, she too was hugged tightly.
She was one of Evander's first friends along with Sivert, so of course she was going to be hugged as well.
Though unknown to him, she despised him a little because of his destructive qualities.
"Ow.." she whispered, her life slowly being squeezed out of her.
Despite being a big and intimidating man, Evander was a softy when it came to his loved ones.
He was usually a quiet simple person who tends to maintain a stoic expression most of the time. Unless he's with close friends.. then he tends to become less quiet.
During his time as a new light, he was always training and working hard. Always challenging the strongest such as Lord Shaxx or Ikora.
Despite losing countless times confronting them, he never held a grudge against them but blamed himself for his own inadequacies and weakness, his hatred for his weakness was one of his main motivations for becoming stronger.
Thanks to this, within a short span of time, he became powerful and skilled Titan, one who eventually beat Lord Shaxx himself in a brawl and in other several challenges.
His countless visits to the crucible was how he met Sivert.
A quick new Light Hunter who took him out with ease.. it made Evander take interest in the Hunter.
Quickly befriending him and becoming like a brother.
Evander has always followed Sivert due to his strength and kindness, he wanted to join him on the raid to take out Crota but he was forbidden due to his value.
He was the one who comforted Sivert when he returned alone that day. From there on out, Evander swore to be by his side. No matter what.
The time came for the raid on Oryx's Throne World, again. Evander wanted to come but was forbidden.
He tried to fight Zavala for not allowing him, several Titans tried to hold him back but Evander beat them all to a pulp.
It took Sivert to stop the Titan, his words stopped Evander and he finally accepted the decision.
Again..
Sivert returned alone, angering Evander on the Vanguard's actions for not letting him go with.
Sadly, shortly after, he was assigned a solo mission to mars. Only, during his mission he suddenly arrived in rocky terrain near a forest. Eventually realizing he was a in a whole new world..
His journey in this world was just like Sivert's, only he did not have much help.
He was quick to adapt to this world, acquiring the unique skill 'Warrior' in response to his desire to grow even more stronger.
His Light was also extremely powerful.. it's why Sivert found it hard to believe he died all those years ago.
"It's great to see you." Sivert whispered as he returned the hug.
He missed being hugged like this. Evander always had a special place in his heart.
"This is Evander, of course by the looks of it. You already know him, he leads a large fireteam of Guardians, he originally came here to beat you to a pulp for wielding Darkness until he found out it was you. He leads his guardians along with Lord-"
"Ha! So Saladin's Young Wolf is here as well. What a pleasant surprise!"
Another large Titan walked into the office.
"Today is full of surprises isn't it.." Lethaea whispered, Sivert nodding in agreement with her.
Now they were fine with their affection giving being interrupted.
The Legendary Titan himself, Lord Shaxx who wore his same armor that looked to be upgraded in a way.
Now this is something Sivert didn't expect.. Shaxx must've arrived here when the Pyramid Fleet attacked the tower. Right when the Traveler left towards here.
At least that was Sivert's speculation.. Several Lightbearer's under his command did say they were defending the tower when suddenly arrived here.
So.. did the Traveler take a few with it?
Either way.
Things were going to drastically change around here now.
Finally being released by Evander, Sivert gave him a fist bump which he so graciously returned, Sivert then walked over to Shaxx.
"Lord Shaxx. It is good to see you." He greeted with a bow.
Something Shaxx was not used to and was utterly disgusted by!
"Stop that! You are a Lightbearer. Seeing a Hunter as skilled as you bow before me makes me sick!"
Shaxx replied in his usual loud tone, he moved quick to fix Sivert's posture. Making the Hunter stand straight and tall!
Like the mighty Hunter he was!
"There! Much better! Now! I hear you've gotten much stronger and have plenty of stories to tell! I hope to see if that is true later. However!"
Shaxx swiftly turned his eyes to Nimerah, who tried to sneak out.
She stopped once she felt his gaze, even though his helmet was on. It felt like his eyes were looking into his very soul.
"Nimerah! How dare you not tell him of my presence in this world!" Shaxx demanded an answer!
Sivert turned to look at the warlock.
She knew..
He was here the whole time but didn't tell him? Now Sivert was curious on why.
"I… forgot?" she stuttered in response.
Sivert never thought he'd see her like this, she was like Ikora in his eyes. Just more talkative.
But here she was.. cowering like a lost puppy.
"Forgot?!"
That was the worst answer she possibly could've gave. But she didn't have another! She truly did, after meeting the Demon Peer Misora and then Sivert. She just couldn't help but forget about him since she was taking on a role that required her full attention.
But, no one forgets Shaxx's mighty name!
"Well then! If you forgot about me then It'd be best to refresh your memory. Come on now! I'm going to beat my name into your head."
Nimerah tried to escape but was quickly caught by the Titan, her braided pony tail was grabbed and Shaxx dragged her out of the room to beat her to a pulp in one of the crucible arena's.
Her cries for help were ignored, even as Aurora followed, she did nothing but stare at her mentor.
Evander laughed at the sight until he spotted something disturbing. He focused his eyes on Lethaea's neck since she stood next to him.
There.. was a tattoo?
"Huh? Sivert's…. property? Ew… Gross..
Evander noticed the tattoo on Lethaea's right shoulder due to her scratching her neck, he backed up in disgust after realizing what that meant.
"Sivert. She got her lustful claws onto you? Shit."
Evander felt like a failed father..
So he punched Lethaea with his left fist, sending her crashing into a wall much to Sivert's disappointment.
But of course.. he wasn't going to attack his old friend. If he thinks that Lethaea deserved to be punched for that tattoo. Then so be it.
He disliked it to.. but still with his pleas, she did not remove it.
"Sivert! I heard Evander was he-"
Lyra who came running in wearing her black warlock armor spotted the large Titan.
He was also a close friend and like a big brother. But he didn't act like one, Most of the time, Lyra had to chase him and Sivert around the Tower for not reporting to Zavala or for pulling a prank on her.
Or just for getting on her nerves.
"Hm? Who's that."
Evander pointed at the warlock.
Lyra took offense to that until she quickly remembered she reincarnated. She removed her helmet, revealing her beauty and her long silver hair along with her silver eyes.
"It's me! Lyra! I reincarnated!" the warlock said as she walked up to the Titan.
"Lyra? You're here to! This is a good day indeed!"
Evander swooped in to hug her despite her attempts to evade him. He was too damn fast!
"Your… going to… kill me.." Lyra warned the Titan as he squeezed her tighter.
"Oh! Sorry."
Evander released her and Lyra fell down on the floor, gasping for air.
"Still a big hugger.." Sivert whispered as he walked up to his lover, helping her stand up.
She rested her back on his chest, calming herself down in the process.
"Why aren't you punching her to! She has the same tattoo!"
Lethaea asked the Titan out of anger once she recovered from his punch.
"Huh?"
Evander looked down at the Warlock, her silver eyes looking up at him. They averted quickly in embarrassment.
Part of her didn't want to get it but..
Once she did..
Oh she never felt more alive!
Even if Sivert didn't love them, being able to still receive affection from the one you love is all she could ask for.
"Well. That's reasonable. I've always wanted the two to get together. They were made for each other!" he replied with a bright smile.
Lethaea rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. Not bothering to respond cause she knows he'd just punch her again.
"Evander."
Sivert called his name, the Titan turned his eyes towards him.
The Hunter's lips parted but stopped.
No..
Best he tell everyone at once.
"Round up those under your command please. I have to tell you all something."
Evander didn't like his sad tone, it gave him bad vibes, but he would listen to his friend.
Sivert told them all everything,
It took several hours of talking with Evander and Lord Shaxx along with telling the Guardians under their command about what happened to the Last City.
And how Sivert defeated the Witness.
Their reactions were expected. Anger, grief..
Some tried to attack Sivert for saying such things but Evander was quick to defend his friend.
Squashing all of those who dared to lay a hand on him. Eventually though, most of them accepted.
There was still some who needed time to think about it…
Sivert wasn't surprised.. they had loved ones there..
After that, he left Nimerah and Shaxx to get them settled as the hundreds of fireteams began to pledge loyalty to Sivert. Even offering him gifts in exchange for a home and protection.
A lot of them.. went through some tough times.
Once that was over with, Sivert decided to make his way to the landing pads at the top of the mountain the Temple was built in.
Sivert walked onto the main landing pad.
There were a few Wyvern's here but they're not the reason he was here.
Standing on the edge of the pad, looking out into the distance was Evander.
He came up here to enjoy the view.
Sivert walked up and stopped right next to him.
He looked down and at the hundreds of tents outside the Temple. Since it was packed..
And there was no more room..
A bunch of Lightbearer's had to sleep outside.
"Were looking for a new home right?" Evander asked Sivert, but did not look at him.
"Your staying?" Sivert asked with a slightly surprised tone.
He wasn't sure if he would. Evander was sort of adventurous, so he thought he'd just leave to explore the world after he guided his Lightbearer's here.
"Of course. Your stuck with me now." he stated with a cheerful smile.
Sivert was glad to hear that. His strength and cheerful presence would prove helpful.
"Hey you have a Throne World right?" Evander curiously asked.
It was mentioned several times but the Titan never got any good detail on it.
"Yes."
"And it's not creepy and full of hive nests?"
"No.. it's not full of hive nests and it's not creepy."
Sivert always found it funny talking to Evander sometimes.
He was like a child in a man's body.
"Then.. why aren't we moving there?"
Sivert turned and looked up at his friend.
"Your fine with living in a pocket dimension?"
"Well.. it has to be better than living in this world right?"
Sivert chuckled and simply nodded in response.
Well then.
It was settled.
The room was dark, a small candle was the only light aside from the moon light piercing through the dark covers on the window.
Four figures sat in this room, each sitting in a wooden chair and in front of a round wooden table.
"Hm."
A Hunter leaned closer to the table, she had yellow luminescent eyes and glowing irises, her eyes focused on the two posters.
An Awoken…
"Ten Thousand Gold Coins.." she muttered, her lips formed into a small smile.
"For two dead." She added on.
Her three allies gave nods in confirmation.
Her eyes were focused on the poster on the right..
A Former Hero..
Intriguing.
But..
He needs to die.
She looked at her allies.
"You three will go after the Slime. I'll get this one." She ordered as she took the right poster off the table.
"Understood." They replied and took the left poster before departing.
She leaned back in her chair, resting her feet on the table.
"A slime should be easy for those three.." she whispered..
But she was confused on why that merchant was offering such a large payment for a mere slime.
She knew the former Hero was understandable but an extra 5000 for a Slime?
Something wasn't right..
She started to nibble on one of her nails.
One of her traits.. she does this when she's nervous.
But.
She'll do her job and get that sweet gold.
End!
Hope you enjoyed.
Take care my beloved readers!
We'll meet again on the next chapter.
