My Soulmate's a Slime

Fairy Tail Wizards..🌳

The night has fallen as soon as the travelling group finally reached the Elven Valley.

Nestled in a rather hidden gap between two enermous mountains, the Elves had stayed hidden all those years till this so called 'Absorber and Summoner' plauged the tranquil valley with his corrupted schemes.

Elves of other kinds had chosen to mingle with the humans and other creatures alike, but the Mountain Elvens chose to isolate themselves.

Atleast till this summoner appeared out of nowhere and made them all his personal puppets.

"What a rather odd place to build such valley," Noir muses, his eyes looking around, trying to access any hidden traps and attacks.

"It's quite serene. Are you sure this is the right place, Maevah?" The butler quirries finding nothing out of the ordinary.

"This is the exact place, Master Makarov had stated in his letter. Plus, we are looking only at the forefront. Ridiculous schemes are mostly done in some hidden dark creepy place, right?"

Noir chuckled at the response.

"Well, that is correct. Beauty is deceiving after all."

Maevah carried her slime soulmate in her arms as she got down from Ranga, the wolves hiding in Rimuru's shadow at his command.

"Hmm, I don't like the stillness of this place," the slime comments rubbing his imaginary chin. Even without Raphael telling him of the dangers, he just feels something dreadful in the air.

The words absorber and summoner is blacklisted in his vocabulary, with all the experiences and carnages he had witnessed associated with these 2 words.

"I don't like it either. Gives me the creeps," Maiah agrees now walking on ahead.

"Any plans?" Rimuru asked the princess holding him.

"For now, I'd like to gather informations first-"

"We've gone ahead and did all that for ya!"

A voice cut off Maevah, halting the group in their tracks. Noir heard her soulmate gasping. He turned only to see her with a happy grin?

Huh?

What is going on?

"No way, is that who I think it is?!" She exclaimed excitedly.

All looked ahead to see silhouttes of individuals blocking their way.

"Report: I sense enermous magical prowess of fire and sky dragons. Another holds the power of the zodiacs, S class titania, demon classified ice wizard and 2 exceeds."

Rimuru's slime eyes widens at that.

Say what now?

Did Raphael just say what he heard her say?

Just who are these people that even Noir is wary? Judging by the sisters expression though, they seem friendly enough and looks like they knew of them.

The fog that hid the owners of such intimidating auras, slowly parts and cleared till it finally revealed whom it concealed.

And there they are.

"Natsu nii-san!"

"Natsu! Guys!"

Rimuru yelped in surprise when Maevah almost threw him to Noir, before she and Maiah dashed to the group.

Noir and his master could only exchange dumbfounded looks for a while and settled their gazes back on the now huddled group.
