บท 63: Ch 61: Infiltrating The Castle
Imperial Capital of the Hoelscher Empire. In the corner of the restaurant on the first floor of the Inn, cold air flowed slightly.
Sitting down at the table where the cold air was being generated, was of course Rimuru and Hajime's group. After the tree returned from gathering information, the females glared cold gazes at Hajime.
Especially, Shia and Kaori's eyes which were lacking all light, honestly, it was enough to make Hajime feel terror. Just behind Kaori, a demon with the mask and long hair started becoming visible.
"You seem to have had a great time?"(Shea)
"Yue, is very glossy? What were you doing? Nee? What did you do? Nee, Nee"(Kaori)
There were no intonations in the voices from the two, the people from the next table couldn't endure any longer and also quickly left.
While the staff of the INN specially the waiters are afraid to come close to the group but one person Break The Atmosphere
"Waiter We would like to order"said by Rimuru While waving his had to the Waiter as if it's the most natural things to do
"Ahh yes what would you like to order"
After Rimuru and the Girls Order Rimuru turns His Attention to Hajime and Others and explain
" I think You guys misunderstood something. Yue-chan is glossy because she sucked Hajime-kun's blood!"
" N? "
Kaori and Shea were misunderstanding Hajime's situation and were shocked when Rimuru told them the truth. both of their faces became identically goofy looking.
"Did you guys really think I'd place my hands on Yue? Am I a dog in heat. Is that what you guys think? Eh?"Hajime ask the two
"Well if you're gonna ask me I think you.."
*DOPAN*
Before Rimuru could Finish his Sentence Hajime Fired Doner at Rimuru but like always It dint even scratch Rimuru
"Tsk I will seriously Kill you and your cheat ability"
The Kouki's group was shock on what Hajime did and They look at the Girls Mainly Chloe,Yue,Shea,Sakura and the other but the girls just look at them as if saying that it's A normal occurrence.
Hajime, suddenly turns his sights to Shizuku's group. They immediately looked the other way. It also appears that they also misunderstood completely.
"Jokes aside.we got the information that we needed. Tonight, we'll sneak into the palace where Ryve and Sall are most likely being held. Though security seems to be quite severe, as long as we found them, we can quickly escape using space magic, so it shouldn't be that difficult. Only Hajime,Yue,,Chloe,,Ciel and I will be infiltrating. While You guys should meet up with Pal's group outside of the capital. Because we'll transfer directly there"Rimuru Said To the others
After some discussion on how They manage to Get the information.
"Rimuru...right now, if they are in the Imperial castle, shouldn't you just ask for them back? Lily should be there too, I'm a hero as well…..I think we should manage if we just talk it out"
Kouki said, completely late with all the efforts that have already been put in.
Certainly, its as Kouki said, with Kouki's words as a hero, an appointment for liliana could be set up in order to ask for help. Rather than relying just on raw power, negotiations was also a choice.
However,
"And what do they get out of it?"Rimuru ask
"Eh?"
"We can't ask expect them to just Give them up for free They'll definitely want some sort of compensation. They'll definitely take complete advantage over it, there's too much risks. Also consider how they intend to save face as well. Even if they get freed it won't be over for them. Or, it will likely affect the princess who has to deal with the negotiations. Are you still fine with that?"Rimuru ask Them
The possibility certainly exists, Kouki just kept quiet. Perhaps, he also wanted somehow help with the situation. There was that thing with the Demi-human slave a while back too, he couldn't ignore it and now continued to think about something.
After A While Their Food Arive and Everyone start eating Then Rimuru Spoke up
"Guys I Had a plan but we will need the cooperation of Kouki and the others"
"Us?"Suzu ask Rimuru
After that Rimuru explain his plan to infiltrate the Royal Palace to save Ryve and Sall while Kouki and the others Make a Distraction for the Guards.
"Alright Well help"Said by Kouki
"Thanks but we'll need you guys to wear this"
Rimuru hand them over a mask that looks like those on power ranger Mask everyone just look at Rimuru after he Hand over the mask.
"What We need to hide your identity right?"
"Yeah but why does this mask looks like those In power ranger movies"Hajime ask Rimuru
"It's better than nothing right unless you guys want to let the Empire knows your real Identity"
"Alright Fine"said by Kouki
Unknow to them Rimuru just want to prank Shizuku.
"Alright let's get ready"
Out side the Royal Palace The shadow of 4 people could be seen with the moon shining behind them in a grand manner.
"Who are you guys! Don't think you'll get away after defying the Empire!"
The person who looked like the head of the platoon said out angrily towards the shadows.
"Furthermore, furthermore...wearing those funny looking masks! Are you guys fooling around or what!"
"Eh? No, we're not exactly fooling around…"
"No matter how you look at it its foolishness! Especially, the pink colored one!"
" !? "
"Do you feel that you're showing off your cuteness or something!? I only feel sick when I see that mask! You damn sex offenders!"
"….I didn't have the intention to show off my cuteness. ....And its not like I like that kind of stuff in the first place....I was forcefully…..It's not my fault..."
"Wait a second, don't mind what the uncle with the ugly face says Shizu…don't make fun of Pink! Suzu…..Yellow will really get mad!"
"Thats right! Shizu…it's alright to like pink and cute things! Thats enough, if you hurt Pink anymore, I...Red Mask won't forgive you!"
"A~, for the time being, Blue Mask also won't forgive you~"
As Pink Mask shoulder dejectedly drops, all the other Kamen shout back at the empire soldiers.
The masked groups goal was, to cause an uproar in the Imperial capital, in order to help Rimuru and Hajime's group to invade the castle easier….Rimuru who accurately saw through Shizuku's facade, in order to stop Kouki from doing reckless things it was unavoidable unless another task was given to him, definitely when they return, she swore in her heart that she would get revenge on him.
While Pink Masks was being depressed, the heated up empire soldiers suddenly,
"Immediately catch those annoying masked guys!" and attacked.
However, although they aren't equal to Rimuru or Hajime and their groups in power, even still, they were summoned from another world, in other words, cheaters. The ordinary soldiers wouldn't stand a chance, one after another they were kicked about.
"Damn it all! Those damn masked guys are all too strong!"
"Damn you, Pink~"
"More like, that sword that Red is holding, I get the feeling that I've seen it before…."
The angry groan while laying on the ground was cursed out from the empire soldier. About 3 platoons were already unable to battle. The commander couldn't endure any longer and shouts out.
"Damn, you fellas, just exactly what is your purpose!"
to the question,Red Mask stopped and declared loudly.
"I demand that all Demi-humans conditions are improved immediately!"
***
In Rimuru and Hajime's Part they successfully Infiltrate the Royal Palace the Headed towards the Basements and there saw the jail whare Ryve and Sall are being kept.
"Hajime you take the Guards on the left While I take don't the Guards on the Right while the others search this place"Rimuru order
"Alright let's go"said by Hajime and all of the start to move
Hajime and Rimuru Takes out the Guard who are guarding the Jail in an instant
The one on the jail got up to see what is happening
""Boss,Leader""the two shout
"Yo are you two alright?"ask by Rimuru
"This is nother Leader" said by Ryve
After Freeing the two Rimuru and Hajime meat up with the girls who manage to find Other Rabbit man and get ready to Leave.
There after that All of them meat up outside the Capital whare the others are waiting
***
In the Throne room in the Royal Palace
A person can be seen giving a report
"That is all I have to report!"
"Good work, you may leave
"Ha"
After the resounding footsteps of the subordinate that left disappeared for a while, Hoelscher Empires Emperor, Gaharudo D. Hoelscher, turned his sights onto the girl who had been talking a while ago.
It was Lilyana S.B. Hairihi, princess of Hairihi Kingdom with a cleansed face, when she noticed Gaharudo's glance, "It seems to be quite serious?", in a worried voice, a troubled smile was returned.
As a princess of the neighboring country, anxiety could be felt due to the report heard just a while ago, however she knew not to interfere because she would only get in the way, such an expression was shown.
"Jeez, I'm troubled. Just after dealing with a ridiculously strong demon some ridiculously strong masked people show up, the strength of those guys were certainly not a joke…..about this matter, what do you think about it? Princess Lilyana"
"…..I, don't understand? Still, maybe it was the Demon behind the scenes again? Because an impossible demon was used before, there may also be impossibly talented people as well?"
"yeah, that's right. ...There's a possibility of that. For example, one of those guys were able to freely manipulate high level magic with ease, there was even one with a sword that gave off a dazzling light, na?"
"...yes, that's right. It's a fearsome thing"
"Ah~, definitely. After being asked what their purpose was they started blabbering about improving the treatment of Demi-humans and their labor conditions, It's very frightening when its too incomprehensible, is what I think"
"that's, right"
Lilyana's expression doesn't collapse.
Gaharudo was amusingly observing Lilyana, it was an impregnable smile guard. Thats because, rather than a smile pasted on, it was an indispensable royal family secret skill, able to change their smiles depending on the current situation without fail.
However, Gaharudo did not not miss the slight moment where her breath was disturbed.
"By the way, Princess Lilyana"
"Yes?"
"Right now, where is Hero-kun?"
"…..The hero, presently, he's out traveling. In order to earn experience and power"
"Gee, and here I thought he surely came to the Imperial capital? And, I remember hearing about the emancipation of slaves from someone before as well"
"Oh dear, Emperor Gaharudo about what you've just said, have you confused speculation as truth? There's no way that would have happened right?"
"Hahaha, of course! Speculation without proper grounds cannot be considered a fact"
"Fufufu, yes, thats right"
After a while, "Hahaha", "Fufufu", the laughter of the Emperor and Princess resounded throughout the reception room.
Seemingly, though it looked like Lilyana had confidence, in her heart.
(What are you guys doing! Kouki and co.—!! I mean, why masks!? There should have been many other ways to hide your identities! To begin with, using your sacred sword will obviously reveal your true identity! What a bad prank! Absolutely, it was definitely someone's prank! And, the only one who would do this is definitely Nagumo-san or Rimuru-san desu! Why, because of this prank, I the Princess have to deal with this stifling conversation with the Emperor! the two of them always treats me casually too, but unexpectedly the things they both does causes a lot of damage. Even though I'm the princess)
is, what she screamed inside. Apparently, Rimuru's masks were made in vain, their true identities were found out by both countries.
