”…So Supreme Gods are comparable to the weakest of your bunch… how thrillingly terrifying to think about. You guys are really in another league… How strong is this manifestation of yours?” I asked.
”Weaker than you. You can defeat me if you want to. Oh! How about you eat me?” She asked.
”I would prefer not to…” I said.
I spoke with Shub-Niggurath as if we were good friends already, but I was in fact very wary of her. She was too mysterious, and her intentions were unclear to me. She seemed to just want entertainment, but you never know what Outer gods want or not, you never are enough careful.
Although my family seemed to be relaxing and eating some picnic, they were also in high alert, Rimuru had generated a strong barrier around everyone by merely being there, so I was reassured that things should be handled by her… Bubu, Azure, and Nova were also with them, so they can offer backup if this giant tree decides to gobble us up.
”What are your true intentions?” I asked.
”Amusement. I am bored.” She said.
She didn't seme to lie, she spoke very plainly and… honestly.
I don't like this a single bit, but she's my ticket to learning more about these mysterious Outer God and what the heck they're up to with their shenanigans. I know they're bizarre and ugly guys, but there's no way they live this long while doing absolutely nothing, right?
I want to learn more about them, and what strange things they're up to, even if it means asking a bit… too much than what I should ask. Maybe I am exceeding my own limits by asking this much, but I honestly couldn't care less. I will ask away.
”Why are you letting me ask whatever I want? Do you have ulterior motives with me? Do you want me join your faction or something? Are you colluding with someone? Why are you in hell? Do you know Lucifer?” I asked.
”So many questions! One at a time, please~” she said.
”…Why are you letting me ask whatever I want?” I asked.
”That's already said, because I want to, and I am bored.” She said.
”…”
”Hm?”
”…Do you have ulterior motives with me?” I asked.
”I would be lying if I said that I didn't~ fear not, its nothing… too bad.” She said.
I knew it, this fucking eldritch bitch has something planned with me!
Should I get out of here…?
…
”Do you want me join your faction or something?” I asked.
”Hm~? Do you want to?” she asked.
”…No.” I said.
”Then don't join.” She said relaxedly.
”Are you colluding with someone?” I asked.
”Many.” She said.
”How many?” I asked.
”As many as I want.” She said.
”That doesn't tell me much, you're evading certain questions at the end.” I said.
”Of course, I want to talk to you but you're just asking away things I wouldn't want to talk with you… yet~” she said, her tentacles wiggling around. Her jaws began to drool…
”Why are you drooling? Do you want to eat me or something?” I asked while raising an eyebrow.
