Chapter 26 - 21 Humans

=============3rd pov===========

"Hey Zeref, do you think lady Suu is okay?"

".....I don't know Yin, sssshe hassssn't left her room for ssssssometime now"

"I heard from Shuna that lady Suu wouldn't even let lord Rimuru into her room let alone anyone else"

"Do you think we should try and talk to her?"

"No, she needs some time alone right now"

"Bu-"

"I agree with Kuro on thissss one, ssshe needsssss time to calm down"

"Zeref....."

=============Suu pov===========

"........"

(Wh-what am I doing?) I asked myself.

I was currently sitting on my bed while looking down at the floor of my room. I was not feeling all that great right now, in fact saying that I was feeling depressed would be a massive understatement.

I have bȧrėly even ventured outside of my room since my rampage. I know that there is no point in dwelling on this right now but I'm scared, really fuċkɨnġ scared that I could lose it again at any moment.

"Their all probably worried about me right now...."

"I just wish I knew what the hell was happening to me" I said while putting my head in my hands.

I sat there for a little while longer until I finally couldn't take it anymore. I was just so frustrated and angry that I stood up and punched a near by wall, unsurprisingly my hand went right through it as if it was paper.

"I..... I needed that"

(I'm gonna have to ask someone to fix that later) I thought while removing my hand from the wall.

I took a glance towards the door of my room before letting out a long sigh. I then started to slowly and hesitantly walk towards it. I stopped just as I got to it and started to think.

(I-if I'm going out I should at least change into something better first) I thought to myself as I walked over to my wardrobe.

I quickly put on something a little better then what I was currently wearing, yet I still didn't really care what it looked like. I also took this time to some what fix my hair which was an absolute mess right now.

Once I was finished I walked out of my room wearing a black t-shirt with white diagonal stripes on the bottom of it, I also had grey trousers on. I still looked pretty terrible just not as bad as I did before.

After a second of hesitation I began to walk through the different hallways, i did find it a little odd that i didn't see anyone around. My curiosity continued to grow as I kept walking around the building.

(Where is everyon-)

"Birdy?" My thoughts were cut off when I heard a familiar voice.

"Milim? What are you doing here? And where is everyone?"

"Oh, i was on my way to visit Rimuru. He and some others are currently in a meeting with a group of humans, everyone else is outside"

"Wait what! Why are humans here?"

"I.... don't know. You want to come with me?" She asked while tilting her head to the side.

(Well I might as wel-)

"Great!" Milim shouted happily.

"I told you to stop reading my mind" she only smiled innocently in response.

"Sigh. Come on let's go then"

It didn't take us all that long to reach the door of the meeting room. I could already hear unfamiliar voices coming from behind the door. I was just about to open it when Milim suddenly moved in front of me and pushed the door open.

I was currently sitting at the head of the meeting table in my slime form. In front of me were two groups of humans, there were seven of them all together three of which I already knew. Shion, Shuna, Souei, Benimaru and Rigurd were here as well.

(Maybe I should have asked Suu to be here....)

(No, it's probably for the best to leave her be for now. I will just have to tell her what happened after the meeting is over)

Finally coming to a decision on what to do I turned back to my guests, all of which were currently looking at me. It was time to get down to business and start this meeting already.

"Hello, I'm Rimuru tempest the representative of this town. Our nation is called the Jura Tempest Federation"

"Wow, you really are a slime"

The man who spoke was the guild master from the kingdom of Blumund, his name is Fuze. He looks rather old and has brown and grey hair, he also has a scar over one of his eyes. He was wearing a red coat and white t-shirt as well as black pants.

"By the way I gotta ask, it looks like there are some new people here but who are they?"

The next person to speak was Kaval. I had met him before I had first found Suu, the two people sitting next to him are members of his adventuring party. He has blonde hair and is wearing dark blue armour that Kaijin had given him.

"Oh, this is Benimaru and Shion" the two bowed slightly in greeting.

"And that's Souei and Shuna"

Just at that moment the door to the meeting room opened to reveal two people. The first person to walk in was Milim, she quickly took a seat next to Rigurd. It was the second person who was standing behind her who surprised me.

"And that's Milim" I said while still looking at Suu.

"Hey Suu.... you feeling any better" I asked.

Hearing my question the humans in the room became curious and looked over at Suu. Suu didn't answer me and just took a seat next to Milim.

"Sigh"

(Well at least she is looking a little better then the last time I saw her)

"Anyway, this is Suu and she is my daughter" I said much to the shock of the humans in the room.

"She's your daughter!" Kaval shouted in surprise.

"How.... how does that work? Is she a slime like you?" Someone else asked.

"I adopted her, also she's not a slime but she's not human either" I answered.

A few of them were still curious but decided to ask about it later. They also seemed to be curious about Milim but they again didn't ask.

"Anyway, let's get back to business" I said catching Fuze attention.

"The kingdoms of Blumund and Falmuth both sent people here to investigate our city"

"Yes that righ-"

"Whoa hold on just a minute. Why the heck is a slime acting like some kind of big shot, it's crazy. What's the deal, why do you chumps listen to him"

The person who spoke was the leader of the group sent by Falmuth, his name is Youm. He has silver hair and was wearing a cream coloured coat with red stripes that when down each sleeve, he was also wearing a black t-shirt and pants as well as brown gloves and shoes.

Shion was about to open her mouth to yell at him but stopped her self when she felt a familiar aura. Recognising the aura I looked over at Suu who was glaring at Youm.

"I'm not in a very good mood today so I suggest you shut the fuċk up before I rip your tongue out" a gulp could be heard from Youm as he when pale.

"Birdy, calm down" Milim said as she lightly hit Suu on the head.

"Whatever" Suu looked away from everyone as her aura vanished.

(Her temper seems to have gotten a lot worse over the past couple of days, I will have to do something about that later)

"I apologise for Suu, she's just going through puberty that's all" this got me a very annoyed look from Suu and a giggle from Milim.

"That aside I would like to be on good terms with humans. Ideally i would like to open up a trade network with you all one day"

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, we're already negotiating with the Dwarven Kingdom"

"Wait, with Dwargon!" Fuze seemed rather shocked.

"Being able to pass through our lands would probably make it much easier on travelling merchants, don't you think"

"Also there's the fact that merchants may start buying and selling my enchanted stuff" Suu pitched in, she seem to have calmed down a little.

"Stop right there and let's back up a second. Dwargon acknowledged this monster town as a legitimate nation? Also what exactly do you mean by enchanted stuff?"

Before I could answer him the door to the meeting room opened once more. I immediately recognise the new comer as Vesta.

"If you want I can confirm that information for you"

"Minister Vesta!"

"Former minister actually" Vesta said in a sad tone.

"But I don't understand this, what are you doing here?"

"Trying to put my talents to good use. Anyway what lord Rimuru has said is true, he and king Gazel have entered in to an official treaty together" Vesta politely bowed toward me.

"As for what lady Suu has said, we are currently in the process of creating prototypes for different enchanted items. We believe that some of these items would be very popular if we sold them" Suu nodded in agreement to this.

"Now are you convinced"

Fuze and Youm doth glanced at each other then at their companions. For a moment they were silent before Fuze finally opened his mouth to speak.

"I mean if that is the case then we aren't exactly opposed to cooperating with you or anything like that. Still though we will need some kind of proof your an ally of humans, unfortunately we can't just take your word for it. Is that fair?"

"Doesn't that go both ways?" I was about to answer him but someone cut me off.

=============Suu pov===========

"Huh?" Everyone looked over at me confused.

"What do you mean?"

"It simple really, you say that we need to give you proof that we are allies to humans yet what kind of evidence do we have that we can trust you?" I pointed out.

"Hmmmm, I suppose you make a good point, you really don't have any reason to trust us either"

(Dad can be way to trusting sometimes, seriously not everyone who comes to town will have good intentions towards us. Those beastmen are the perfect example for this) I thought to myself.

"Well we can figure all that out later, right now I would like to ask you a question if you don't mind" Rimuru said trying to dispel the slightly tense atmosphere.

"What is it?"

"Do you know if the knews about the orc lord being defeated has gotten around yet?"

"Well no, only our king knows as well as a select group of others"

"Well then Youm do you want to make a contract with me?"

(So the silver haired guy is called Youm) I'm mentally noted.

"Huh? Why would I want to"

Just as Youm finished speaking he suddenly froze as he felt a very angry aura coming from Shion. He glanced over at her only to see her glaring back at him.

"I mean why wouldn't I want to"

"You said that the kingdom of Falmuth paid you to come out here right. All you would be doing would be switching employers. To put it in the simplest way possible, I just want you guys to be the champions who defeated the orc lord" after Rimuru finished speaking the room became dead quiet.

"Wait what?" Youm and his two companions were surprised to say the least.

"You can tell everyone that we helped you out, then you'd start a rumour that you were the ones who defeated the orc lord and that's pretty much it. If everything goes according to plan then we become known as the town of trustworthy and friendly monsters that ȧssisted the champions in their time of need"

"I think it will be much easier to build good relationships with humans if they think that we're cool instead of just mean hearted creatures" Rimuru said as he finished explaining his plan.

"What do you think?" Rimuru asked Benimaru.

"That's a good plan, yes I agree"

"Wow you actually came up with a good plan for once" I said sarcastically.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"

"Hehehe, Birdy your gonna end up hurting his feelings" I just rolled my eyes at Milim's comment.

After that the meeting went on for a little bit longer like usual. As for Youm, he had asked for sometime to think about Rimuru's offer.

When the meeting was just about to be over I got up and left the room. Soon after several other people left as well but I didn't pay much attention to any of them.

"What should I do now?"

I looked out of a nearby window to the town outside. Seeing as it was still mid day and that I really needed some fresh air I decided to go for a walk.

(I guess that I could go see what everyone is up to, their probably worried about me.....)
