Vampire and slime back in time [Indefinite Hiatus] [Rimuru X Luminous]

CH 14 | A wolf's mistake.

~Rimuru~

Rimuru: "We are finally outside! It felt like we stayed there forever!" I said in ecstasy, feeling the sun's rays fall on me. 

Rimuru: "Wait, aren't vampires supposed to die if they get in contact with sunlight?"

Luminous: "Not all vampires are like that. Some overcome that weakness and are called surmounters." Her reply had a slightly proud tone and her chest was somewhat puffed.

Moving through the lush green forest, through the waves of warm, fresh air, accompanied by the sounds of birds chirping. A beautiful walk, except for the sounds of rumbling and crying from the panicking group of goblins coming in our direction.

Goblin: "S-s-strong one! D-do you have any business ahead of here?" The soon-to-be-named Rigur said. Though his words were overshadowed by the jingling noise of their shacking armor and rusty swords, which they are almost unable to hold.

Luminous: "Hoh? I didn't expect you to survive my aura, let alone come all the way here."

Goblin: "I-I'm sorry miss, but we were talking to the strong one in your arms-"

At his words, her temple vein bulged enough that even if she didn't squeeze me hard enough to kill a man, I would have noticed her anger, even if her closed eyes and big smile stated otherwise.

Goblin: "W-we are sorry!!! P-pleas h-have mercy!" they plead writhing in pain on the ground as Luminous unleashed her haki.

Rimuru: "Oi, Luminous!!! You're going to kill them at his rate!"

Luminous: "Ugh, Their disrespect made me angry, how could they not sense my aura?!"

《Luminous-san. I completely concealed your Aura.》

Rimuru: {Wait, you made them misunderstand on purpose?} (If you forgot, {This} means telepathy/soul corridor communication)

《No master. It was just to declare you Master as the superior.》

Luminous: {And why exactly did you want to do that? And even then, why did you do it that way?}

《Teehee~》

Luminous: {What do-}

Goblin: "S-strong ones, w-what do you want from beings like us?" The goblin timidly asked as the pressure on him suddenly disappeared, despite the aura that attracted him here still lingering.

Rimuru: "What do we want? Hm... A place to stay in for now, can you do that?"

Goblin: "W-we can do that, but I fear it won't live up to your standards..."

Luminous: "It doesn't matter, just lead us there."

The Goblin nod its head, stood up, and started walking deeper into the forest. We arrived soon after at a small village filled with huts made of dried grass, leaves, and sticks, decorated with deer-like skulls.

We entered the second biggest hut, the one located at the center of the village. Its roof is embroidered with a picture of a dragon covering a few goblins surrounded by trees with its wing.

Luminous sat on a patch of hay, presumably a sitting spot. A bit after, an old goblin -the soon-to-be-named Rgurd- entered with his son.

He explained the same things he did last time. Luminous didn't hear it before, so she was paying attention to what he was saying. As for me, I was just zoning off, and by that, I mean staring at Luminous' face.

Luminous: "But what can we gain from helping you? What can you offer in return?"

Goblin Chief: "W-We pledge to you our absolute loyalty!" He said as both he and his son bowed down to the point their heads touched the ground.
