(Rimuru's POV)

Me and Ciel teleported in front of the lizardman chief and they were pretty cautious of us. We were perfectly hiding our aura, and because of that people will see us as an average or perhaps even weak humans. They were also amazed by our faces.

"I knew it, chief these people are just a bunch of weak humans" (???) The same lizardman that got strangled earlier said.

"Stop" (Chief)

"But chie---" (???) The lizardman said but was cut off by a horrifying aura.

Souie is kneeling in front of us and glaring at the lizardman like he wanted to kill him. I looked at the lizardman and activated {Demon Lord's Haki} making all the lizardmen present hit the ground with their knees. The chief were sitting on his throne, not being able lift even one finger.

"We're not humans, I also would like advise you to not underestimate us" (Rimuru) said and deactivated {Demon Lord's Haki}.

"A-are both of you Souie-dono's masters?" (Chief)

"Yes we are, I'm Rimuru Tempest" (Rimuru)

"I'm Ciel" (Ciel) said with a slight irritation in her voice because someone insulted Rimuru.

"Lady Rimuru, lady Ciel, why do you want an alliance? Judging with the aura you showed earlier, you can easily defeat the orcs" (Chief)

"Yes, we could defeat the orcs quite easily. But we wanted to have an alliance with most of the races of the Jura Forest, and I wanted a good relations with both humans and monsters so I don't want to force any of you to comply" (Rimuru)

"I see, I will accept your request of making an alliance with us" (Chief)

And we successfully created an alliance with the lizardmen, we talked about some minor details, I said that we will come back here in four days.

We will depart to Lake Siss in three days since Gabiru's betrayal is in four days, instead of teleporting we will be riding the 'Tempest Star Wolves' which we will arrive in a day. I don't want the wolves to feel useless, so that's why we won't use teleportation. When me, Ciel, and Souie are about to leave, I left a warning for the chief.

"Keep your guard up around your son" (Rimuru) said, after that Rimuru and Ciel teleported and Souie used {Shadow Step}.

(Lizardman Chief's POV)

"Keep your guard up around your son" (Rimuru)

After she said that, they teleported. I didn't know what she meant by that, but I will take that warning at heart even Gabiru is my son, she obviously didn't say that without any reasons whatsoever so I have to comply. After they left, I fell back on my seat while feeling a little tired.

I have finally seen a light of hope in this predicament.

(Shizue's POV)

After Rimuru-san and Ciel-san left, I picked up the empty cups on the table and washed it.

'It kinda feels a little lonely by myself' (Shizue)

After a few minutes they came back. Both of them are holding hands, they are as close as ever, it makes me feel a warmth and comfortable feeling when I see them like that.

"Welcome back" (Shizue)

"We're back" (Rimuru) said and Ciel just give a warm smile to Shizue.

"Wait, I'll inform everyone that we'll depart in three days" (Rimuru)
