Reborn into a Monster's World : Tensei shitara slime datta ken

Eve of Battle

Inari

After a random straw draw it seemed Lilith and Diavolo would be joining her, Something that Lilith immediately bragged and preened amongst her demons. Diavolo however was more subtle in his happiness in attending the tea party.

   On too more pressing concerns, Clayman's forces were occupying Milim's territory. Worse was the Commander was Yamza, a cruel and abominable lowlife just like his master. While Rimuru hoped he had a modicum amount of decency she very much doubted.

Three Days before Walpurgist 

In the Temple of Forgotten Dragon's Capital :

"What did you just say ?" Yamza questioned, a monster of unknown origin questioned as he idly caught the apple he had been tossing in the air. "M....my apologise, But that is reserved for Milim-sama," The young priest Hermes replied.

    "Didn't I give the decree that Demon Lord Milim a few days ago ?" Commander in Chief Frozen Swordmage Yazma questioned.  "I beg your pardo, Yazma-dono, But were regrettably reaching the limit of what we can provide," A larger and older priest appeared.

  Dragon Worshipers High Priest Midley smoothly continued, "We have emptied three storehouses to already feed your army. Milim-sama would be saddened if her people were to starve." Veins bulging, Yazma crushed the apple with a clawed gauntlet. "Midley-dono, was it ? You would do well to teach your subordinates some respect.....is what I would have liked to say...But you lack respect yourself." He smashed the crushed apple on the stony priest's forehead.

    "Demon Lord Milim stepped out of line on her own. My army is trying to clean up the mess she made, So the least you could do is show us all the respect  you can ! Is what I think. Don't you agree ?"

   "Ah, forgive me we were only thinking about ourselves there," Bowing to Yazma, "We will supply all the support we can offer. Whatever it is, you must only ask."

   He didn't bite, huh. Getting him angry would've made my life easier, Yazma thought.

"I see, is that so ? Then allow me to offer you the chance to cooperate. We already have enough troops to sweep up the crumbs of Yuurazania. I will leave the logistic support to you."

  "P-Please wait a minute ! First you took our food and now you want to take our people !?" Hermes spoke up. Unsheathing his blade Yazma severed his arm. "Hermes !" Priest shouted as they rushed to his aid.

  "Shut up you little maggot."

(Just going to fast forward since Yazma ticks me off so much)

"How dare he hurt a subject of Milim-sama !" Growled the Hight Priest Midley. That kick hurt like hell, too, you know. Through I appreciate that you covered for me, Hermes thought with his arm healed and no longer severed.

  "Not too mention how theh even dared to lay hands on the sacred food offerings meant for Milim-sama !!! ......Who's the one who lacks respect !?" Midley fumed as he placed.  Sacred offering....Hermes looked at the table laden with vegetables and fruit.

He pictured Milim with a tired bored look on her face as she crunched on a carrot while looming over a bowl full of veggies. Maybe that was one of the reasons of her absents...

The fact was the offering was geniune and not a prank...

Lilith

She preened in her spot next to her Demon Lord....Ah just thinking it made her so happy ! Flipping her new present, a gilded fan with silk, lace and studded in precious gems. A present from her Lord...

  It seemed while Inari had supplied the resources, she had one of the talanted dwarves make her a specialized weapon. Depending on how she used it, just a sweeping motion and she could cut down whatever was in her path.

   "Once the Tea Party is all over I'll teach you how to use your Dying Will flame," Inari had said before demonstrating said flames.
