Male Reincarnated Zoroark X Female Hisuian Zoroark

Chapter 4: The Hobgoblin Village. [Zorro POV]

     We eventually made it to the Hobgoblin village and it was more of a town instead of a village. “Wow,” Zorua said, and honestly it was a good looking town or village… There was a lot of hustle around the town almost as if they were rebuilding everything in the village. “What happened here?” I asked, “What business do you four have here..?” One large hobgoblin looked at me saying that, before Tsareena spoke up, “Guests for Lord Rimuru and for Lady Reshiram...” and the Hobgoblin stared at Tsareena then to me and Zorua. “Where is Absol?” Tsareena asked the hobgoblin, and I saw a person walk up to us and they have a horn on the side of their head and they are wearing an all white fur coat with a belt on their waist. “Tsareena! Where is Lucario?!”  The newcomer asked, as they had a female voice, Tsareena handed Lucario to her. “He is going to be in his cabin for a while.” The newcomer said angrily, “Absol, we have two newcomers here.” Tsareena told Absol, and Absol looked at us. “A Zoroark and a Zorua? Why are they here?” Absol asked, “We were already on our way here, until Glalie attacked and Lucario helped us… I'm Zorro by the way” I told Absol, Absol seemed to get angrier. “OF COURSE THAT SON OF AN ICE CUBE IS CAUSING TROUBLE!” Absol yelled, and Zorua looked at me and whispered “I don’t think that guy is on good terms with these guys either…” I nodded at this and I saw Lucario waking up. Lucario looked at Absol and then tried to sneak away from everyone but Absol grabbed Lucario by the ear, “Ah, no you don’t.” Absol said, and Absol dragged Lucario away. “Is he going to be alright?” I asked Tsareena, and Tsareena shrugged.

     Later in the day we were told to wait in what looked to be a meeting room, I sat down and waited while reminiscing how similar the structure was to earth. I was beginning to feel nervous about this until Zorua somehow was outside… “How did you get outside?” I asked, “I fell out the window,” Zorua admitted. Then I chuckled before the doors opened up as I saw a more younger looking figure with blue hair, gold eyes and matching outfit to all the other male hobgoblins… standing next to the golden eyed person was a woman with white hair with the ends being orange. She is wearing a large cylindrical torch-like dress and she has a single silvery band around each of her hands and when she saw me I saw her strikingly blue eyes. “So you are the one that Rigurd said someone wanted to see.” The blue haired person said, I looked before saying, “Yes, a dryad sent us to meet with you…” I told them, and the golden eyed person looked at the lady in white. The tension grew through the open meeting room, before I spoke up “If you don’t believe me that's fine…” when I said that the golden eyed person looked at me before introducing themselves “I’m Rimuru Tempest, and guessing how you two look confused I am a slime…” my eyes widened when I watched as they transitioned to and from a slime and human. After that we discussed what happened on the way here about Glalie… while we all discussed what to do Rimuru sent the big hobgoblin in the room out with a whisper, before looking at me and saying, “I sent Rigurd to the artisans to get you a better weapon… your axe looks pretty old and crude.” I realized after he said that ‘I almost forgot… even though I have a weapon, did I try to use Skills… would that make me useful..?’ Zorua seemed happy hearing that before getting overly excited before blurting out “Now you’ll be able to use Night Slash!” I looked at him, he was still outside the window “You're being rude by interrupting an important meeting Zorua.” After that I heard Rimuru started to speak “Sounds like you haven’t been able to use your Skills, that's not something I’ve heard nor seen before?” and the woman in white nodded in agreement. “It is strange.” The woman in white said,  I looked back and forth nervous before speaking “It’s not that I can’t use skills at all, it's just that I can’t grasp the full power of one of my extra skills without a sword…” Rimuru looked at me a bit puzzled before saying “Well I have been trying to recreate a katana, but if you want we can make you a custom weapon if you’d like… and if you want to stay for the feast we’ll be holding your more then welcome to stay as long as you need.” he said as he gave me a smile. I looked relieved that we had a safer place to stay, before I looked at Rimuru with a smiley “I'm sure Zorua wouldn’t mind that, I wouldn’t either… I need 3 days of rest…” I said before we were able to leave. Me and Zorua got led to a plank house, we entered before I saw a wrapped object with a note “To Lord Zorro, this will substitute until we make a weapon suited for you-.” Then I unwrapped the sword seeing a blade that had a curve at the end, before I laughed “They did say they were trying to replicate a katana, but this is a nice shape alone… Zorua time for bed, I'll wake you up when the feast starts-” I noticed he was already asleep on one of the beds.
