'I was walking down the road at that time, until a gust of strong wind hit me'
'I close my eyes so the dust didn't get to my eyes, when i open i was in a place that i unfamiliar with'
'I remembered the day my dad's company when bankrupt, it wasn't really a good time. Not just for dad, but to all of us'
'Now he's a drunkard who's gambling, he hit mom and make our lives more miserable'
'So i killed him with my own 2 hands, i thought that was the right thing to do. But i was wrong, mom is deppressed cuz of dad's death'
'I dont understand, why is mom sad to that bastard who dares calls himself dad, 'is she broken?' i thought. Then i realized, i am the one who's broken'
'I once saw the holy knights fighting a beast, they draw their swords in the name of god Luminous. That's looks ideal to me, so i went to my teacher who is also an otherworlder'
'She is the person that i respect and owed, she's done a lot of thing for me'
'But im afraid if i keep standing beside her, i may be to weak to hold myself if she left me'
'I owed her a lot and yet i left her like this, not knowing that would be the last day i see her'
Hinata Sakaguchi, the leader of the western church's Ten Great Saints, Chief knight of the imperial Guard who is an otherworlder
Rimuru Tempest, the leader of the Jura Tempest Federation, the demon lord who reign the Great Jura Forest who is also an otherworlder
Both, now sitting side by side only seperated by a glass table that is full of sweets. Now, looking at a fight between the Holy Knights and the Immortal Osoweic
Hinata look at Rimuru with a confusing expression and with many question, 'why didn't he attacked me?', 'is this how he really looked like?' And 'what is he planning'. Rimuru expression was blank while he stuffing his mouth with cakes
Behind them, Hinata's saints is asking Rimuru subordinates while they answer with a friendly manner. Lilith' cheeks for some reason, redden everytime she tried to talked or looked at Souei
"So.....what is....this?" Asked Hinata to Rimuru
"I don't know, a joint exercise maybe?" Rimuru just shrugged Hinata question
"But they're killing each other"
"Correction: injured"
A strong gust of wind hit them but arent strong enough to move them, only their clothing
"By the way, do you have that 'dragon sword' with you" asked Rimuru, Hinata gaze sharpened at him
"......yes, why?" Hinata's subordinates is raising their guards at Rimuru but stopped when Rimuru subordinates told them to stop politely
"Give it" Hinata just become more confused while also raising her guard
"And why would i do that?" Asked Hinata while gripping her Holy Sword
"You want to live?" Hinata and her Knights widened their eyed, all of them start to reach their sword while Rimuru's side still showing a friendly manner. Hinata is quite worried for herself and her knights but.......why does it feeled like he was trying to warned her?
Hinata then give him the dragon buster with no hostility while still keeping her guards high. Rimuru inspect the sword, his eyes narrowed in dissapointment
"This.....is the dragon buster?" He asked looking at Hinata
"....yes"
Rimuru sigh, he extended his left arm to the front while Hinata is just looking at him with utter confusion and the same goes for her knights. With a full force of a saint, he swing the sword to his left arm with a full meaning to cut himself, the sword hit his arm but broke in half without leaving a scratch on his arm
Everyone look at him with astonishment
"Cant even scratch me, weak......oh look the fight's over" everyone regained their composure when Rimuru stand from his seat, they approach the battle field where the Holy Knights is all on the ground tired and beaten
Lennart, upon seeing her master walking side by side with a demon lord felt nothing but despair within him. He thought that the seven sages were right, that is until-
"Well this is quite a fight" a soothing woman voice came out of a portal in the other side of the battlefield. Then, a silverish grey haired woman came out with black like dress followed by a tall man with white robes and butler
Hinata eyes widened and she immediately kneeled to her, the knights are all confused by the sudden action from their chief
"Not what i expecting but ok" said Rimuru with a smile looking at the woman infront of him, both of them then look to the red haired knight, Gerald
"W-what are-"
"Will you explain of what happen here, Arze?" He flinched, then Gerald turn into someone else while prostrating
He looks like a very old skinny guy wearing white robes covering almost the entirety of his body, only his hand are exposed
"I-im sorry G-God Lumi-Luminous"
"You have planned to kill my favorite subordinate behind my back, what makes you think i would let you go?"
The man just kept asking for forgiveness, everyone is confused except Rimuru, his subordinates and Ruminas's
"This is a capital offense, at the very least you shall be granted death by my hand......but i have a debt to pay, Rimuru!" Ruminas looked to Rimuru
"Yes?"
"You have done many things to remove the weight i have been carrying without me noticing, so this is one of my payment" she point her finger to Arze
'Weight? What weight, you put them all to your subordinates!' is what Rimuru said in his mind but just shut his mouth
He then look to Arze who kept trembling with his cold eyes, hands still in his pocket
"..."
"..."
"..."
"May you all stand back a bit, im gonna test something" all of them then move away from him
Rimuru extend his right arm to the right, then Multiple orange magic circle quickly sorround him making a dome
'Wait, is that-' Hinata eyes widened knowing what is the magic he's spelling
The magic circle kept multiply until all of them sorround Arze, then with a cold and commanding voice-
"Disintegrations" all of the magic circles fires multiple white beam of lights all aiming Arze, the light was blinding enough that Hinata and her knights cover their eyes
Then it stopped, the magic circle dissapeared with the smoke it created. All that was left was nothing but a crater caused from the disintegration, Rimuru then look behind him just to see everyone suprised with a hint of fear except Ruminas who just gave an impressed one
Hinata can cast "disintegration", but compressing them with still the same output and such numbers? No, yet Rimuru who is a demon lord, Not a human, cast it like it's his weakest spell
He then walk through them "Well then, shall we-Oh right"
Rimuru then turn around to face his guest
"Welcome to the Jura Tempest Federation"
-------after sometime
Rimuru and Ruminas walk side by side while their subordinates were behind them looking at their master interaction, they interact as if they were old friends talking about their life when they lost contact on each other
Ruminas then asked "by the way, have you prepared 'that'?"
Rimuru chuckle then replied "of course i do", Hinata look at them with suspicion
Now, Everyone has arrived at the front gate of the City of Jura Tempest, they are welcome by 2 rows of goblina Maids
"Welcome back Rimuru-sama" they all bow at the same time, impressing the Holy knights but most importantly, Ruminas
In the center of the rows, stand a goblin wearing a grey single breasted suit with a green tie with some motive and a glass looking at his hand watch. His face turn into a delight one after seeing Rimuru
"Welcome back Rimuru-sama" he bowed "i have prepared everything for our guest as you requested"
"Thank you Rigurd" he pat his shoulder
Hinata eyes narrowed in suspicion, 'right, what are you guys planning?'
Rimuru turn around facing his guest "well since you all have come all the way here and since its night, why don't you take off your equipment and have a rest, ey? we also give you guys a tour"
Some of them are hesitant until their chief casually disarm herself and give it to one of the maids, then they all do the same
Some of the knights are injured, so some of the maids had prepared a crates full of Full Potion. The knights drink the potion
"Wait? what is this?" ask one of the knights
"oh, that is a full potion with strawberry flavor" said the goblina maid innocently
'What?' Hinata approached the maid, "may i try the potion?"
"Of course you can, you are our guest after all" Hinata take a sip of the potion, she click her tongue making the knights worried for their chief until she just chugged all of it in one go supprising them
"Hahahaha, you really like it don't chu? No worries, we have a lot of things waiting for us up there" Rimuru pointed to a building close to the mountain
"The hot spring!" Ruminas shouted like a child while ghunter facepalmed for his master behavior, Hinata expression turn into a supprised yet a confused one
"Yes, now follow me" the knights, already disarmed themselves, followed Rimuru
