Chương 133: Chapter 123 Striking a deal
Ramiris- "So… why were you looking for me?"
Oh, I never really explained it to her.
Rimuru- "Well, it's kind of a long story. I made a friend, but she died. However, before she died, I promised her to fulfil all the regrets she had, and saving some students of hers is one of them. To save them, I need your help, so… Yeah, that's the gist of it."
Ramiris- "Hmm…"
Ramiris closes her eyes, thinking over what I just said. Mikoto, Illya and even Ranga wait silently beside me, hoping that she won't just outright refuse to help us.
They've come to like her in a way, It would be a shame if I had to force her to help.
Ramiris- "Mmm… I need you to give me the full story first. I can't decide with just that amount of information. If you had those students here already, I could take a look at them to see if they're worthy of my help, but otherwise, I can't really do anything."
Rimuru- "Worthy?"
Ramiris- "Yeah, I can't help someone with bad intentions now, can I? I can generally see if someone is good or bad by looking at them."
Come to think of it, Treyni can do something similar, although she has to sneakily follow that person for a while as she did with me before contacting me for the Orc Lord problem. Is it some kind of speciality among spirits?
I look towards my companions, silently asking them what I should do. They respond with a small shrug, to which I turn back to Ramiris.
Rimuru- "Yeah, we don't mind staying a bit longer."
I say as I take out a sheet of cloth from my [Gluttony] Stomach and spread it over the ground.
Rimuru- "Come on, sit down. It's gonna take a while to explain, I'll do it while we eat."
Ramiris' eyes start to sparkle as she leans in while rubbing her hands together.
Ramiris- "S-so, about those cookies you mentioned…"
Rimuru- "Ha! I have something better than cookies!"
Ramiris- "Better than cookies!?"
I smirk at the floating fairy that's looking at me as if I just committed the greatest sacrilege and use [Ahura Mazda] to create a plate of steaming hot meat buns.
These bad boys are gonna rock your world…
Ramiris looks at the buns warily as Mikoto, Illya, Ranga and I all dig in. I then begin to explain the important bits of the story in detail.
About how Shizue stumbled upon my (at the time) village, about how Mikoto and I quickly became friends with her and about how she died peacefully. During this part, Mikoto was feeling a little depressed, feeling bitter over the matter. Although it's been a long time, she never forgot.
Illya sat in Mikoto's lap in an attempt to cheer her up, which thankfully worked. Although Illya personally wasn't there, she shares my memory of those moments during her time as a skill, so she also feels grief over this matter.
Well, I also feel sad over it, but I can't show any weakness. I'm a man (at heart) after all!
Ramiris- "Are you ok?"
Rimuru- "*Sniff* I-I'm good… *hic*"
I randomly wipe my eyes with a handkerchief (completely random, I swear) and continue explaining. I didn't tell her about Shizue's reincarnation into a Hellcat named Shizu.
I then move onto Shizue's students, about their status as failed summoned heroes and their magicule rampage condition. I then talk about my 'theory' about fusing Greater Spirits with the kids and stabilising their magicules.
I use the word 'theory' very loosely because it's already pretty much confirmed in the series, so…
Rimuru- "And that's pretty much it…"
I finish my explanation and look over at the small fairy eating a meat bun the size of her body with a blissful look on her face.
Ramiris- "Humuhumu, I understand now. Those kids are quite innocent in the matter, so I don't mind helping… But I refuse!"
Rimuru- "N-Nani!?"
In all seriousness though, I had a slight inkling she might refuse. It doesn't matter what she looks like or how she acts, she's a bonafide Demon Lord in the end. She's not running a charity.
See, Mikoto and Illya didn't even flinch, meaning they totally expected it.
*Munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch*
Or it might be that they're just indulging too much in the meat buns…
In any case, I came looking for Ramiris to strike a 'deal', and it's not a deal if only one side is providing benefits.
Rimuru- "Then how about this. I'll make a completely new golem for you to replace your Elemental Colossus."
Ramiris- "Haah!? You mean the Elemental Colossus YOU broke!"
Ramiris snaps at me as she finishes the last bite of her meat bun. I hold up another meat bun to which she snatches it out of my hands.
Rimuru- "You were saying?"
Ramiris- "Nothing nothing…"
Rimuru- "*Ahem* As I was saying, this new golem will be much stronger than the Elemental Colossus you just magically lost. It'll also be fully sentient so it can even act as some kind of lackey- *Cough* assistant to you."
Ramiris' eyes sparkle. It seems she really wants a new golem. I'm pretty sure she just wants an 'assistant' more than a guardian, but meh, not my problem.
Ramiris- "Very well, if you insist so much, I accept!"
I wasn't insisting, but ok!
Ramiris proudly pushes out her chest after stuffing the rest of the meat bun into her mouth.
Where the fuck does she fit TWO meat buns that are almost her size in that small body?
No wait, she's a spiritual being, so it makes sense in a way. She doesn't exactly have a physical stomach, so-
DID I JUST SOLVE THE FOODIE SABER(Artoria) PROBLEM!? IS THIS WHY SHE EATS SO MUCH!? HOLY SHIEEEET!
*Cough*
In any case, a successful deal has been struck between Ramiris and me. I would make her a powerful sentient golem and in return, she will grant me access to the Dwelling of the Spirits along with Shizue's students to get them their spirits and save their lives.
Ramiris- "Ano… can you make the golem now? I mean, I don't think I can have the labyrinth completely defenseless while you're gone, since that Elemental Colossus you dest-"
*Creates a mini Kamehameha*
Ramiris- "Elemental Colossus that just disappeared into thin air kinda was the only thing that could put up a good fight, so…"
Ramiris shyly asks while pointing her fingers together like an anime girl.
No wait, she is an anime girl, never mind.
Rimuru- "Well, it shouldn't take too long."
I guess I'll be making a golem for her right now then.
