What a day! —I thought, as I heaved a sigh while leaning back on the sofa, eyes shut.
I just attended Walpurgis today, and made a big... really big show there. And now that I come back, thinking that I can rest for at least the remaining day, a freaking True Dragon pops up.
MAN... Why is trouble always showing up on my doorstep?! —These thoughts, however, waned, as another thought coursed through my mind.
"Souei, Treyni"
Before my words even completely left my mouth, a Dryad and Kijin teleported before me, bowing on a knee.
"Yes, Lord Rimuru"
"Did you hear what just happened?"
The two of them looked at each other for a second before Souei warily nodded.
"Yes, Lord Rimuru. We dare not reveal this information to anyone without your permission"
They both said in complete sync.
Did they both practice this or what? —However, before I could say anything, Souei spoke once again.
"Lord Rimuru. I am sorry for failing to stop Diablo from barging in such an important meeting. I am prepared to accept any sort of punishment you may impart"
"D-Don't worry about it. It's not your fault that Diablo's faster than you. Just do your best"
"Yes, Lord Rimuru. I will make sure to live up to not disappoint you next time"
"..."
I sighed inwardly. Souei was quite the stubborn dude, I am sure he will just train non-stop. Not that I think I can persuade him otherwise, other than ordering him obviously, so I'll just leave it at that.
"So, did anyone else hear that as well?"
"No", came the combined answer.
"Good, Let's keep it that way for now"
"Yes"
Veldanava did not look like he wanted to announce his return, since he kept his Aura locked in him so effectively that even 『Raphael』 couldn't sense it, though it may have been due to it not working properly ever since Veldanava came into the picture, I still don't understand why though.
Anyway, I ordered the two to keep quiet about this. Veldanava probably needed some time before he was prepared to face Milim, so I guess I could help him hide his identity a bit, and maybe I can ask a favor or two later. It would be a good idea to have another True Dragon like Veldora owe me a favor, after all, two is better than one.
«...»
"So just don't let someone harass him, alright"
"Yes, Lord Rimuru"
They said as they again teleported out of the room.
Still, I need to ask Diablo about Veldanava. He seemed to know him, maybe they have met before.
"I guess I have to go find Diablo", I muttered as I was about to get up from the sofa.
"There's no need to trouble your great-self to find someone as lowly as me, Lord Rimuru"
"..."
"..."
"...Diablo"
"Yes? Lord Rimuru"
"Are you a stalker?"
To be honest, I somehow felt that he was stalking me for a long time, though I suppose he would just avert the topic.
