That Time I got Reincarnated as a slime (remake)

Evil Creeps Closer

Phonio pov

Phobio: we set up camp in the forest for the night we were sitting around a campfire

Flashback

Milim: What do you think you're doing
to my bestie's subordinate?! She said and punched him knocking him out

Flashback end

Phobio: Damn it! She'll pay for that! Clenching his jaw

Who does she think I am?

I'm Phobio the Black Leopard Fang!

Guy1: With the Demon Lord Milim in the
picture, it's beyond our control.

Even for the Demon Lord Carrion.

Phobio: You idiot!

Lord Carrion wouldn't have
humiliated himself like this!

I just wasn't good enough.

But my pride won't allow
me to go back empty handed.

Those guys built a town all on their own.

I saw them as no more than lowly monsters,

but they have skills and
techniques that even we lack.

Guy1: That's for sure.

Instead of ordering them to serve us,

I'd like to see Eurazania establish
diplomatic relations with them.

Phobio: Yeah. Even if the Demon Lord
Milim hadn't been involved,

I handled that all wrong.

I couldn't have gained their trust by just
taking over without giving them a say.

But it's too late now.

My wounds may heal, but this
humiliation will never fade.

I want to take revenge somehow,

so I won't cause trouble for Lord Carrion.

Guy1: That's easy to say, but
revenge isn't realistic...

Phobio: I know that! I know in my
head that it won't work!

Still, I just can't rationalize this! He said breaking a stick

They heard a laugh and quickly turned around to face whoever it was

The same guy: Who's there?!

A fat guy in a clown costume and mask walked out of the bushes

???: Oh, how well I understand that
vexation you must be feeling!

Greetings, fine people! He said bowing in greetings

My name is Footman.

Phobio: Footman?

Footman: I am a member of the
Moderate Harlequin Alliance,

the one they call Footman the Angry Pierrot!

Pleasure to make your acquaintance!

Tear: Now, please don't be so guarded. She said walking out from behind a tree

I'm Tear, and I'm not your enemy!

Phobio: What do you want?

Footman: Well, I was summoned here
by your anger and hatred.

Phobio's eyes widened when hearing that

Phobio: Anger and hatred?

Footman: I sensed some choice waves of anger, you see.
