*(Y/N) POV*

The whole meeting, discussing the matters of the Orc Invasion, was cut short when a Dryad, an actual Dryad, requested an audience with both Rimuru and I. We accepted and now, Treyni the Dryad, requested our assistance in dealing with the Orc Lord. When Treyni appeared, I was Swampfire and she gently landed on the floor. Rimuru and I looked at her with Benimaru, Shion, Shuna, and Souei behind us.

Swampfire: Treyni, was it? Can you please repeat what you just asked?

Rimuru: Uh... Defeat the Orc Lord? 'rubs back of head' I mean, come on. Are you serious?

Treyni: 'closes eyes and smiles' Uh huh. That's right.

Swampfire: Damn that smile of hers is really cute, and her blue eyes are something else. What's with the girls here having cute smiles and looking so adorable?

Rimuru and I were about to speak until Benimaru came between us and stood in front of us.

Benimaru: That's quite the request. Seeing as you dropped in out of nowhere, you won't mind answering a few questions. Why did you come to us? There are stronger races than the Hobgoblins.

Treyni: 'opens eyes' Yes, I suppose, and if the Ogre's village hadn't been destroyed, I might have gone there.

All the Kijin gasped when Treyni said that.

Treyni: Though if I had done that, 'looks at Rimuru and I' I can no longer ignore a couple individual's existence. If our settlement were to come under attack from the Orc Lord, we couldn't possibly held them off on our own. 'turns around' That's why I came here to request assistance from two strong, capable individuals.

Swampfire: Hmm... What you say is true, then the Orc Lord has come into existence. At first it was only a theory, but now...

Treyni: 'grabs chip' The Dryads have knowledge of essentially everything that happens in this forest. Believe me, the Orc Lord does exist. 'eats chip'

The room grew quiet and gasps were heard.

Rigurd: If she acknowledges it...

Kaijin: ...then it must be true.

The room grew even more quiet, and tense until I broke the tension.

Swampfire: Well shit... 'looks at Rimuru' Rimuru?

Rimuru: 'thinks' Give us some time to answer.

Swampfire: Backing the Kijin is one thing, but taking on the Orc Lord is a different story altogether. We don't want to go poking some hornet's nest without reason.

Rimuru: We need a little more information before we decide. After all, I am the one in charge.

Swampfire: I'm basically the second-in-command here.

I revert back to normal and saw Treyni smile again. I smiled back as everyone went back to their seats, but Treyni sat between Rigurd and Kaijin. Things went tense for the two of them, I mean, a hot Dryad was sitting in between them casually eating chips and drinking tea. Who wouldn't be tense?
