Tap! Tap! Tap!
A sound of steps that came from a pair of traditional sandals sounded throughout the chaotic night. The man is using a robe with gorgeous dragons imprinted on it. He’s Takeda Shingen, the leader of the Musin Society mercenary guild.
“Kenzo, stand up,” said Takeda with a cold voice.
As if he just got splashed with a bucket of cold water, Kenzo raise his body and kneeled in front of his boss.
“Boss…” Kenzo called out his boss with an apologetic face and tone.
“It’s fine. Tell me what happened,” Takeda said indifferently.
In front of them, dozens of their men are currently lying on the ground, fainted.
“Our men chased them with all they got, but they’re too fast. When I’ve arrived, our men are ready to attack both of the assassins, but they hesitated when they saw both of the assassins seems to be attacking each other,” (Kenzo)
“Hm? I see… No wonder…” Takeda muttered to himself as if confirming something inside his head.
“After that, their confrontation with each other went to another level and all of us suddenly got caught in something like an electricity spell. I could still catch their moves and is waiting for the right moment to subdue both of them, but it looks like I’m too naive and made us lost lots of men. Please forgive my incompetence, boss…” (Kenzo)
“Lost lots of men?” Takeda raised a question towards his subordinate.
“Yes?” Kenzo asked back as he didn’t seem to understand what his boss is implying.
“I don’t think we lost anyone, Kenzo,” Takeda said as he shifted his gaze towards his men that are still lying on the ground.
(I could still sense the faint electric mana on the air, it seems that Kenzo is not lying by one of the assassins used an electricity spell to end the battle) (Takeda)
(But controlling the power from electricity spell is difficult, at most, some of my men should be dead, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. In normal cases, assassins will kill the guards or people who might be a witness and harm them without second thoughts, but this guy spared all of them…) (Takeda)
“Interesting…” Takeda mutters to himself as a wide grin appeared on his face.
“Boss…?” Kenzo asked as he got confused when he saw the strange expression his boss had on his face.
“Kenzo. We’ll be acting like today didn’t happen. Even if the nobles or even the king asked us to find the culprit, we won’t make any move,” Takeda commands his subordinate with a strange command.
“Wha!? What do you mean, boss-” (Kenzo)
“This is my decision, Kenzo. Do you have any objections about it?” A sharp gaze pierced Kenzo, silencing him completely. Kenzo shivers as he lowers his head even deeper.
“I understand…” (Kenzo)
“Good. This is not provocation for war, but compensation. He’s saying that he had made enough problems for us, he’s sparing our men’s lives as an apology. How interesting…” (Takeda)
“…?” Kenzo looked at his boss with a huge question mark imprinted on his face.
Looking at his subordinate that still didn’t understand, Takeda sighs as he lost interest in him and has no intention to explain it to him.
(Well, this surprisingly gave me a good mood) (Takeda)
Takeda looked back at his lying men and said with a cold voice that mixed with his mana, “Now boys, wake up,”. Similar to Kenzo’s reaction, they immediately regain their consciousness, and when they saw their boss’s figure, they follow Kenzo and kneeled to Takeda immediately.
Looking at how his men had no considerable damage, Takeda got even more interested.
(Looks like living in this kingdom won’t be too boring, after all…) (Takeda)
*************************************
The morning sun had risen and spread its warmth to the world. Stretching his body, Slime let out a groan.
“I guess I’ve been getting too many orders these days. Even though I’m a slime, it seems that my body still gets stiff because of the fatigue. Or is it just because my lazy self is telling me to rest?” Slime muttered as he looked at his hands that transformed from a normal human’s hand into a black liquid.
“Well, no matter what the answer is, today is my damn-long-awaited rest. Let’s enjoy this day to the fullest,” Slime muttered to himself with a shrug.
Using one of the formal suits that he brought from the Tarot, Slime exits his room and went to have breakfast.
“You wake up rather fast, Mr. Slime,” A woman’s voice suddenly greets him when Slime arrived at the first floor.
“I have the same words for you, it seems that this inn’s young owner is rather diligent. Ah! Please don’t misunderstand, I just showing my respect,” (Slime)
Hearing Slime’s words, Hina happily and cheerfully smiled in response. She looks genuinely happy when she heard Slime’s compliment.
“Thanks! You’re quite a flatterer, Mr. Slime,” (Hina)
“Not a flatterer, I’m just an honest person,” Slime replied with a gentle smile. Didn’t want to continue the conversation any longer because of his starving stomach, Slime bid farewell to Hina and went to eat his breakfast.
“Please give me a heavy one, I’m starving. I’ll pay an extra if needed,” Slime said towards the waitress that approached him.
“There’s no need, sire. We’ll prepare your food immediately, please enjoy your drink as we make your breakfast,” The waitress politely put an elegant cup, bowed, and left.
(Their etiquettes are trained rather well) (Slime)
The drink that the waitress gave Slime is milk mixed with expensive honey. Slime could tell it from the smell, but it seems that there are still some other ingredients mixed inside the milk that he didn’t recognize.
*Slurp*
Slime took the first sip on the milk.
“Hm~ A perfect beverage for the morning…” Slime praised with his eyes closed, completely absorbed in enjoying the milk.
The milk served is hot but not to the point where it made the tongue burnt, it got heated perfectly where the consumer could enjoy it and have their body relaxed.
Just as Slime is enjoying the hot milk and waiting for the breakfast he ordered to come, an unexpected disturbance suddenly happened.
“S-sirs!?” A panicked exclaim from the waitress made stole everyone’s attention.
“Hm?” Slime shifted his gaze towards the source of the voice, and he saw that dozens of royal guards entered the inn, with just one glance, Slime finished his estimation of the royal guards’ strength, and quickly get disinterested in them.
(Maybe in human countries, their strength is rather strong. But still, they’re not even worthy to be compared to the royal guards and royal soldiers of the kingdoms inside our empire. Not to mention the imperial guards and the imperial soldiers.) (Slime)
Just when Slime went to enjoy the milk on his hand again, he sensed that the royal guards strangely approached him, and a split second, the royal guards had completely surrounded him.
“I wonder what this is about?” Slime calmly asked towards the royal guards with his eyes closed.
“Slime Tarot. One of the Grandaria heroes, the next successor of the throne, the princess of Grandaria, Seraphina Grandaria had summoned you. Please follow us right away!” Said one of the royal guards.
*Slurp!*
Slime indifferently drink his milk and finish it, paying no heed towards the royal guards.
“Y-You-” As one of the royal guards about to threaten Slime, the one that seems to be the leader stopped him by raising his hand, signaling him to stop. As the loyal royal guard of Grandaria, he decides to stop and obey his superior’s orders.
(Good judgment. If he attacked me, it would have become one of my playing cards. What a shame) (Slime)
“Ambassador and the acting consul of the Tarot legation, Slime Tarot. Please forgive my subordinate’s behavior, as his superior, I apologize,” Said the one who seems to be the leader of the royal guards.
Seeing that Slime didn’t give any sign of responding, the royal guards’ leader smiled a little as he continued.
“My name is Reynald Gregory. I’m the captain of the princess’s royal guards,” He respectfully bowed towards Slime.
(He seems to be rather smart) (Slime)
With a thin smile formed at Slime’s face, Slime answered Reynald’s self-introduction.
“I believe you knew who am I already so there is no need for any self-introduction from my side, I believe. But, sir Reynald, the inn’s currently preparing breakfast for me. It’ll be insulting and impolite to just leave when they’ve tried their best to please their customer here, no?” (Slime)
“I see. Then I believe they’ll be rejoiced to send your breakfast to the princess’s resident. We’ll also pay the breakfast you’ve ordered to the inn twice the price, then this way, it’ll be beneficial for all sides, right?” Reynald answered as he clapped his hand and called a waitress and immediately explain his thoughts without confirming Slime’s permission.
“An interesting man… Seems like the princess wants to meet me that bad to the point that he sent someone like you here, sir Reynald. Fine, consider yourself lucky since this milk had given me a good mood. Now lead me to your princess, gentlemen,” (Slime)
“Then we will, Mr. Slime. I’ll convey my thanks towards the milk later,” Answered Reynald, responding to Slime words with a joke.
(Let’s see… Maybe this will help me choose what choice I should take for the winter bird…) (Slime)
