With the sound of footsteps, Rimuru saw a well-trained army coming out from the gate of the kingdom.
In the middle is a brawny man full of majesty with a crown on his head.
Rimuru looked a little worried, so she secretly asked Shiro whether it was time to escape.
While Rimuru was whispering, the king brought three important ministers forward.
"I am the King of the Dwarves Kingdom, the Sword Saint Gazel Dwargo! Why do you disturb our country for no reason?"
"Um, If I said this was just an accident, Wil you believe it?" Rimuru asked nervously.
"Please don't be joking! It's not a noble act to fool someone for a Maou!"
"Maou?" Rimuru asked confused.
"Your huge amount of magic, and the aura that contains the characteristics of the dragon species, how can I make a mistake! Are you Veldora-sama?" King Gazel continued to ask.
"I am not Veldora, my name is Rimuru Turnpest, I very sorry to having disturbed you, Gazel-san."
"Really? So why did you visit our country and made trouble? Isn't this a provocation?"
"I'm sorry, Gazel-san, the story is like this..." Rimuru explained one by one.
"Then, please tell me the purpose of your trip."
"That's it, we come from the goblin village. Due to the lack of construction, forging, clothes and other technologies, we came to your country to seek help from craftsmen, at least to see if we can learn some crafts to develop our village."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"I don't trust you."
"Then how can I gain your trust?"
"Fight me."
"Huh?" Rimuru was stunned.
'What's the situation?!'
The three ministers behind Gazel also covered their faces and murmured.
"Here we go again."
"What do you mean?" Rimuru asked Gazel.
"Language, facial expressions, movements and even eyesight will deceive people, but weapons will not, combat will not, I want to determine whether you are trustworthy from the fight."
Rimuru's expression became serious.
'He should be just trying to test me?' Rimuru thought
"What do you think Shiro?" she asked her friend.
"Hmm, Shiro?... Where are you?!" she hurriedly searched for him.
"Right here."
When Rimuru looked in his direction, she saw him sitting on a sofa eating an ice cream with Winona on his lap.
"Shiro... can you tell me what you're doing?" she asked calmly.
"Can't you see that I'm eating an ice cream?" Shiro replied normally.
"I know that! But can't you also see the situation?!" she shouted angrily.
"Aren't they just some soldiers."
"*Sigh* Can you please help me?"
"Yare yare." Shiro said and stood up.
The next second he stretched out his arm and flicked his fingers toward Gazel.
*Boom!*
"Wha-Argh!!"
A terrifying compressed air hit Gazel sending him flying thousands of meters away.
The soldiers and consultants looked at this scene all dumbfounded.
"G-Gazel-sama... Lost!?"
"Did he just win with... a finger?!"
"But how can it be?!"
They all shouted in shock, their King is known as a Sword Saint But now he was defeated with just a finger!
"Yeah! We won!" cheered Rimuru.
Suddenly some soldiers brought Gazel's unconscious body and put him on the ground.
"Quick go and bring a Healing potion!" ordered one of the ministry checking Gazel body.
"No need." said Shiro.
[Omni-Heal]
Soon Gazel opened his eyes in surprise.
"My wounds..." he checked his bodies and discovered that all his wounds are healed.
"I healed you."
"You..." Gazel looked at Shiro for a while.
The two in the field stared at each other closely, until Gazel laughed.
"Hahaha! That flick was amazing! I lost!" to said he was really shocked, he would have never expected to be defeated with a flick.
"Shiro, was it? You are worthy of trust! From now on, you will be allowed to enter the Dwarves Kingdom without problems!"
"Thank you!" Rimuru immediately thanked, while Shiro ignored him.
Gazel took Shiro and Rimuru into the city, Gobuta, who is in a coma was forgotten by them.
...
"Shiro, Why did he wanted to fight with you? When entering the city, Rimuru communicated with Shiro through [Telepathy].
"Didn't you see some anime where a strong warrior judge the character of someone by fighting with that person?"
"Oh, I Understand!!" nodded Rimuru in understanding.
...
After entering the city, Gazel originally wanted to take them to the palace first, but a small accident happened midway.
"Guys, an Armorsaurus suddenly appeared in the mine! The dwarf brothers are seriously injured!" a soldier said to his colleague.
"What? Where's the Armorsaurus?"
"It's already gone, but the brothers are still injured."
"Where's the recovery medicine?"
"We don't have enough!"
"Damn it, what can I do?!"
Rimuru wanted to lend a hand when she heard this, but the situation was special and she wanted to ask Shiro's opinion, but when she looked up, she found that Shiro was still with Winona.
So Rimuru asked Gazel to wait a while and asked the soldiers to bring her a barrel, although suspicious the soldiers brought a wooden barrel, and Rimuru filled it with the healing potion in her body.
When Gazel saw all this, the corners of his mouth was slightly raised.
