Closing the Distance

Starting a Real Vacation

(Hinata's Pov)

After we left the Twilight Manor or whatever they call it we made sure to collect the 10 Million "Valis" as that's what this world's currency is, from the grubby hands of the "Prankster Goddess" Loki who fought desperately against it

However she had failed to account for the fact a deal is a deal and Rimuru too it personally

"Hey you did say "deal" didn't you prankster goddess?~" He asked her while looking down at her like he was the god while she was a sad mortal how was robbed of all her life savings

(Truly a fearsome god Rimuru is) I thought while looking down at the Red haired goddess who was currently on her knees trying to plead her case

"Wait-wait-wait look I know I said deal but we never shook on it so an agreement was never reached so-"

"So your a liar a goddess of pranks who can't keep her words" he interrupted her while continuously gaslighting her his golden eyes piercing directly into her with a scrutinizing gaze as his soft smile didn't reach his eyes which were gazing intently for her next words

(I don't know why but seeing this goddess who irradiates me being treated like this makes me feel better, good job Rimuru)

"No you see-" she tried to continue with a teary eyed expression however thankfully someone stopped her

Finn: "Goddess just give them what they want they won fair and square"

Riveria: "Unfortunately this was ultimately your fault for agreeing to their terms so take responsibility"

Gareth: "Like what that elf said just give them that 10 million already"

Her entire Familia scolded her for agree to this duel saying that she only had herself to blame for this loss which I couldn't help but agree

"You traitors! Fine you can have it, have your stupid 10 million Valis" she cried out as Finn they're captain handed us an enormous brown bag filled with silver coins with an insignia in the middle of it

I thought they would try to give us less than the amount she said since we don't know the currency but just from the looks of the bag alone it seems that wasn't the case

"Thank you for your business and don't worry I'll buy you some drinks later Prankster Goddess" Rimuru said with a playful smile

(Honestly his tittle of Chaos Creator is well suited for him) I thought as I saw his smile

We quickly said ours goodbyes to the Loki Familia  hoping that they wouldn't change their minds about this

As soon as we got out of their sight Rimuru quickly put the bag of Valis into his [Imaginary Space] as he calls it saying that it'd be to troublesome to have that huge bag of money out in the open which was sensible of him

"Still though that stunt you did was incredibly a petty of you"

"Huh"

"Very petty"

"Wha-"

"Petty indeed Rimuru-San"

"Ah come on"

We all chuckled at him honestly it was nice finally being able to relax a little with Shizu-sensei, Rimuru, and Chloe without having to worry about work

"Hey Rimuru thanks for taking me on this vacation with you guys I guess..." I said which sounded more embarrassing when it came out of my mouth

"No problem, besides you did want this too right?" he asked softly looking shyly at me his golden eyes shimmered softly as they looked into my eyes
