128. Alliance of Three Kingdoms

Hinata and Ruminas were in chairs awaiting our arrival.

From the looks on their faces, something must have happened.

Well, I guess it’s a good thing they don’t know I’ve been just playing around the whole time. It certainly wouldn’t go over well if they knew.

「Fuze-kun, come on in」

I said, having Fuze join us in the reception room we prepared.

Without me needing to say anything, Shuna had already prepared tea.

She really is a well-disciplined Ohime-sama. Completely different from a certain regrettable secretary, but that secretary does get serious when training the subordinates and the guards.

But considering that I’ve been slacking off lately, I have no right to complain.

No, actually, I haven’t been playing around! I was studying!

Can’t be getting this distinction wrong myself; or else someone will find out.

Alongside Fuse, I sat on the sofa whilst facing Ruminas and Hinata.

A cushion made with material of the highest quality gently caught my body.

「Hey Hinata, it’s been a long time. Ruminas-san, nice to meet you… no, we have met before. It’s been a while.

This is Fuse-kun. He’s the Freedom Association Branch head in Burmund.」

I introduced Fuse to the two ladies.

「N-nice to meet you! I, within the Burmund Kingdom, work as the head of its Freedom Association branch.

To be able to meet Hinata-sama today, the highest tactician of the Western Church, I am truly honored.

And to this beautiful lady, it’s the first time we’ve ever met, but you must be someone of illustrious prestige.

I am uneducated in these matters so please forgive my ignorance!」

Greatly nervous he greeted them.

Completely ignoring him, however,

「Rimuru, was it? ‘Tis been a while, since Walpurgis that is. Glad to see you healthy. But, that man must not remain here. Freedom Association is the enemy. Or have you not noticed?

The identity of he who manipulated Hinata.

Knowing this fully well, why do you still associate yourself with someone from the Freedom Association?」

(Translator’s/Editor’s note: the word Ruminas uses to address Rimuru is 貴様 kisama which in modern time is an insult, commonly translated as “bastard.” Centuries ago, however, it was used to address a person politely, and this translation Clown feels fits better with Ruminas’ mannerism)

One of the primary Demon Lords–Ruminas asked with an accusatory tone.

She is a cute young girl silver hair, and heterochromatic eyes giving off a gold and silver shine.

Why is one of the Octogram here?

It’s also strange that she’s by Hinata’s side; the worst thing I could do here though is act hostile and make her an enemy.

Besides, forging an alliance with the Western Saint’s Church will probably allow Tempest to fully integrate into human society.

And that’s something I earnestly want to achieve. Hinata and Ruminas’s relation is yet uncertain, but perhaps its best to speak openly rather than keep secrets.
