Chương 20: Hunting
Veldora shut up.So luminous didn't lash out and fought him. So returned to Tempest.
Hinata wanted to see Shizue immediately, but I proposed that, since there was a battle just before, take a bath and suana to freshen ourselves.
This time I successfully went with hinata and luminous group not getting asked to go somewhere else. So my months of preparation for this kind of situation worked out. Veldora wanted to come in female form, hinata was against it, luminous was supportive of it and had some other plans I think. So she agreed in the end reluctantly.
Shauna,Shion, female knights and some goblina s went to adjacent bath and Banimaru,Souei, Arnaud, Leonard went to men's bath. Rigurdo was tasked with feast after the bath.
So we 4 went to a special women's bath.
I telepathically messaged Shizue to join.
So now Shizue came and also entered bath with us. Shizue was sitting to left, beside me, holding my hand, luminous was at my right having her hands over my shoulders.
And Veldora was 'how to say being tightly held' by luminous to her right. I think she just used some technique on veldora, I heard 'embrace drain or something'.
But Veldora couldn't escape but this one did no pain, but something else, I don't think veldora is in pain but in someother sensation.
Moving on only Hinata was infront of us.
She had a moving conversation with shizue all these while reminiscing her past and also surprised by Rimuru and Shizue relationship.
"Shizue, but I didn't know you were interested in girls.. " Hinata teased.
Then Shizue said " Don't mind Rimuru, it's his female form, which he often uses. Actually he is in genderless form most often in official meetings or during battle."
" Ehh so that's why. I heard he was a reincarnator, how's his previous life.?" Hinata said with red face.
" He was a man in past 2 lifes. "And go onto explain Rimuru's life.
Hinata embarassed now, then turns towards me, who is really alike to shizue but was just enjoying this naked skinship and having the life any man would dream of .
Rimuru : feeling relaxed* "Ah, this is the life."
Shizue: *giggles* "Enjoying the hot spring, Rimuru?"
Luminous : *smirking* "I must say, Rimuru, you make quite a lovely lady."
Rimuru : *blushes slightly* "Thanks, I guess?" 'Luminous is still continuing funny business with her hands over one of my melons from side.This is sexual harassment..in a good way??'
Hinata : *glaring* "So, Rimuru, I just found out you were a man in your past life?"
Rimuru : *nervously* "Uh, hmm yeah. Is that a problem?"
Hinata : *hostile* "It's definitely suspicious. What's your game here?And where's my blade?"
Luminous : *laughs* "Oh, Hinata, lighten up. Rimuru's just enjoying the bath like the rest of us."
Shizue : *playfully* "Besides, it's not like Rimuru's here only to spy on us. Right, Rimuru? And this is not his first time. We always had bath together"
Rimuru : *sweating* "Definitely not! Just relaxing, promise!"
Hinata: *crossing arms* "I'm not convinced."
Luminous : *teasingly* "Hinata, do you really think a former man can handle all this femininity without breaking a sweat? Besides look at her, she looks like more of a lady than me for sure. It's divinely cute looking,that's me a God speaking"
Shizue : *grinning* "Exactly. Poor Rimuru's probably more flustered than we are. And even if he were to change to normal form that's also way too beautiful I just can't let him bath with those men outside..it's making me feel guilty somewhat"
Hinata : *softens slightly* "Hmm, maybe. But I'm watching you, Rimuru."
Luminous: *looking at Veldora* "And speaking of behavior, Veldora, you're still on towel duty. No slacking off."
Veldora: *muffled voice from the background* "Yes, ma'am."
Shizue : *chuckling* "Don't worry, Rimuru. We'll make sure Hinata doesn't bite."
Luminous : *mockingly* "Unless she finds out you've been holding out on us with beauty tips."
Rimuru: *laughs* "I swear, no beauty tips here. This is entirely nature's blessings and also shizue's blessing"
Hinata : *sighs* "Fine. But any funny business, and you'll regret it."
Shizue : *smiling* "Deal. Now, let's just enjoy the bath."
Rimuru : *relaxing* "Agreed. Thanks for the... warm welcome, I guess."
thinking 'What a close one, bomb diffused successfully'
Luminous: *grinning* "Anytime, Rimuru. Anytime."
'By the way luminous still continues her funny business even after I took her hands of' Turning towards her, Luminous is still day dreaming looking at Hinata and holding onto us.

And with that, the group settles into a relaxing, lighthearted evening for some of us atleast , the air filled with muffled cries of veldora and conversations about me (Rimuru ) being ludicrous with my facilities here however I want.
---
We went to have a feast and knights enjoyed all these and we had great time drinking with people who just a day before were great enemies.
The next day a meeting was arranged with them:
Luminous agreed a new reconciliation with holy saints church and Tempest in cooperative relation for 100 years. We shared about yukki and his clown troupes and how to do deal with him etc. Also invited to upcoming Founding festival.
Luminous,Majority of knights and hinata's men left but Hinata and Lilith stayed former wanted to be with shizue and children at the academy her on tempest for a while latter to look for Souei.
Diabolo as per request teleported Glenda and sare back to Tempest while he went onto facilitate youm's kingship at farmenus.
In the investigating room I called Hinata.
Glenda was there tied to chair. I didn't go to interrogate. But just knocked herself out.
And used the memory of her to project Damrada the member of cerebus at east.
And also granbell, his location at silzestro, Mariabell, otherworlder children under her.
Etc.
I left hinata and Glenda alone to speak and left. It seems Damdrada might leave to east after meeting with yukki as in plot.
So I went to meet them.
I used inspiration from moss, a demon subordinate of rimuru in plot with his skill ghostly presence not able to detect his presence and with both mine and Ciel's analysis and testing came up with it and then used shub niggharth to create that skill.
I used the mask to prevent the aura and used ghostly present and teleported to ingrassia. I could see yukki location went near his office and waited for a chance for kagali to leave the premises.
I put an isolation barrier that prevented every aura and presence around yukki's office.
He already felt some difference and I just appeared in his seat.
"How Rimuru san, why trying to scare me like that."
I already put Nexus God nullification in every concept of him. His skills and magic won't work. His soul corridor with kagali is currently off so can't send a message.But that leave me a short time before she teleports near me. So I used domain manipulation when barrier is placed to lower the time to 100 billionth of a second equivalent of a second and conveniently touched him to enable similar thought acceleration to let him to talk. That's when he said those earlier words.
"You know Yukki, if everything was nice and all I would have been here to invite to you to my nation.
But you know what mistakes you did, you manipulated those clowns for orc lord, for charybdis, that clayman, trying to kill citizens, using thought manipulation on shizue , me and hinata, making the sages fight with us,Hinata to fight with me, and still boss of that Damrada, who is infact member of cerebus which you are also head of, and by the way Damrada is also a covert agent but still a high ranking offical of eastern empire under Rudra nam ul nasca, setting you up also.
You know you had Vega the violent maniac in your cerebus right?, I plan to kill him soon after this."
Yukki is baffled my statements and he tried attack me I stopped with a finger with vector domination with physical strength alone as he is just an saint human without any magic or skills which I removed first.
"World domination is a wonderful concept ain't it. I am also fascinated by it. But you won't be there to know how I will accomplish that. And just so you know. I am a true dragon the 5th of those in existence and digital life form just so that you know you had the honour of being killed by one of the strongest in this cardinal World".('apart from zelanus, feldway,Michael?' I thought while speaking)
"What a life and accomplishments you could have it your life if you didn't oppose me? Ha never mind, I am in a hurry so I won't listen to your villian speech ok and nobody will know of your death also."
I then forcefully extracted his soul and see his memories and obtained information Vega, Damrada, and other one code named 'lover' facilitating trading rare creatures, rest of the cerebus members and his plans
I used information particle delete operation on yukki's body and soul which are under domination to slowly melt making him in pain just to get some revenge and used azathoth to devour him fully. I teleported away with ghostly skills after removing every trace of interaction. There was no trace of magic or even skill usage and even divination won't work as I used information particle delete to wipe out the concept of both our presence using Nexus God skill also.
I silently left afterwards kagali came panicked sensing no yukki and even soul corridor.
I teleported near the slave trader and cerebus agent and killed her immediately. Stored all creatures and elves there using azathoth.
Next I went to clowns at their hidden mansion I could not exactly went inside as there are so many contraptions made just to notify any spatial or magical variation nearby. I located footman Used thought communication to shout with intent in my mind "Awaken Jahil.This is feldway." Jahil consumed footmans remained ego and changed which didn't go unnoticed by other clowns and went into a fight only to get miserably beaten back even Laplace got injured. So they escaped, from them to meet the boss where they will meet another shock.
Well I feel like I am more of a villain than Yukki. Well this jahil will shift a direct claim that I am involved in disappearance of yukki.
I could see commotion arising and this will be a major news. But eventually that kagali has more things to worry about.
Next went to weapon merchant going in eastern route through jistav. He was strong but not strong enough so I just teleported him away and without making my presence known and used negate to invalidate skills to kill him and go through his soul and seen the memories about his position at eastern empire. His death is probably found out immediately through soul lamp they used well they couldn't narrow it who killed anyway since I am constantly exuding information delete from my body.
I went back to ingrassia to find chaos in street. Jahil awoken prematurely is irritated and confused as Feldway or any others haven't came to him and he doesn't know where to teleport or go himself. He found those escaped clowns and made plans to subdue them on streets to learn about his appearance, but the clowns shocked and saddened by disappearance of Yukki escaped to Jistav's previous safe location they had after a short fight.
I went without anyone noticing behind footman to teleport him away using spatial domination. I did that and now we are inside Ramiris labyrinth in my research room.
Usually this kind of teleport won't work as labrynth exist in a different spatial dimension, but I am authorised by Ramiris to have this internal teleportation.
I instantly killed and absorbed him using Azathoth. Even if Feldway and company notices jahils premature awakening, they won't be able to narrow it down to location.
Luckily he didn't came before I took jahil back to labyrinth.
Granbell is always working for humanity albeit not always in a right way, all he needed was the awakening of human hero Chronoa which led to his death in the plot.
'I won't deal with granbell or that Mariabell for now. Next is Vega. But I may need to go to eastern empire undercover? How's that supposed to do and when? ' I thought.
May be after founding festival. The three members of cerebus is dead. They will surely found out, even the eastern empire will find out and cerebus will get into hiding or extreme caution, since this is no small deed. I silently left Labyrinth to outside.
