Negotiations I

After getting a pair of new clothes Rimuru found himself in the meeting room of his manor. The room contained a large oak table with twelve all of which were occupied not including Grace and Shizu who were standing to his left and right. Seated at the head of the table Rimuru turned to look at the human party, " I guess it's about time that we get down to business and why the tree of you have entered my Forest " Gido crossed his arms and glared at Rimuru, " You don't own the forest you just live in it " Rimuru chuckled at the human's statement, " Sure just keep telling yourself that, now I'm sure that the three of you would like to know where I come from, what I plan to do in the forest and if I hold any hostility towards your kingdom "

Elen Kabal and Gido glanced at each other unsure if they were supposed to answer, sighing Rimuru continued, " As for the first questions I can not give you an answer but I can tell you I don't seek to harbor animosity with Bulmund and I wish to trade with them " Kabal scanned the faces of the chief drow but didn't see any emotions show on their faces, " I mean no offense, but what could you possibly a group of monsters have to negotiate " In his hand, a chunk of magisteel ore appeared all the adventures stared in shock.

Gulping Kabal didn't take his eyes of the ore as he asked his next question, " I- Is that magisteel ore " Rimuru nodded, "I'm surprised that you humans didn't strip mine this cave even with the threat of Veldora. But as humans, I guess you can't sense the abundance of magicules in the air. Every one of my soldiers has their own personal weapon created from magisteel. " They all blanched when they heard Rimurus boast if over two hundred drow owned weapons that would grow stronger over time, they could wipe out an army twice there size.

Seeing the fear in their eyes Rimuru prepared to blow them away again, taking out a glass bottle filled with a glowing blue liquid Rimuru placed it on the table. Intrigued by the new item the adventures quickly dismissed their thoughts about the weapons, Elen was the first one to speak up, " Is this a healing potion " Rimuru clasped his hands and sent a wink at Elen making the young mage blush, " How perceptive of you, yes but this is not just a healing potion but a full healing potion. As long as one's heart still beats it can heal any injury " Immediately Kabal Elen and Gido were suspicious, even the most advanced race the dwarves could only get up to 98% how could a ragtag group of monster create the equivalent to the cure for cancer back on earth.

Gido laughed at Rimurus boasting, " You must be joking right there's no way you created that if it's the real thing " Rimuru shrugged and pushed the potion over to him, " Give it to your guild master and see what he thinks. I believe that all the time I have for now if the kingdom of Bulmund wants to negotiate a treat please send an envoy at any time " Rimuru stood up clearly signaling the meeting was over, " We will give you enough resources to make it back to your city safely and see if you can join the envoy at all "

The three humans were escorted out by the Drow guards that were present in the room not before sending a glance at Shizue who just slowly shook her head. Rimuru sat back down and sigh, " Just let it out already " The chiefs glanced at each other before one of them spoke up, " Is it wise to paint such a large target on our backs so soon. " Rimuru nodded as it was a good question, " As of now we are in a secure place but are population is growing rapidly and soon we will either have to go further into the forest for food which will greatly increase the chances of death or we need to buy food from the other kingdoms until we can grow our own. Even if they sent a force to conquer I'm confident that I can kill them all "

Rigurd nodded like what Rimuru said was common sense, " Lord Rimuru is right, now I believe we all have our own duties to get to so how about we let our lord rest " Rimuru sent a thankful nod his way as the guards and chiefs filled out of the room. Stretching his back Rimuru got to his feet, " Finally I have some free time to do what I want " turning to the two women who were at his side Rimuru saw that Grace was glaring at him, " I saw that wink how could you do that in front of me your wife " Rimuru shrugged and in a flash he was behind Grace and was openly fondling her large breast, " Have I not told you I'm going to have several wives. " Stifling a moan Grace started to grind her ass against Rimuru groin, " I know, but that doesn't mean I have to accept it "

Rimuru leaned down to steal Grace's lips when he heard a slight whimper from the other person in the room, glancing up he saw Shizue's face was heavily flushed and a trail of blood leaked from her nose. Tracing his eyes Grace caught sight of Shizue's appearance and grinned, " It looks like we have ourselves a little closet pervert. If you want to watch you should have just asked " Shizue ears started to turn red and Rimuru thought he saw smoke come from her ears and she tried to form a cohesive response but that didn't go so well.

Walking over the Shizue Rimuru patted her on the head, " Don't worry Grace is just teasing you " then he leaned down next to ear, " But you can watch if you want. " Grace stiffened as Rimuru turned around and walked to leave the room, " Come on you two I have something I want to show you "
