Chapter 48 - The Don and Conspiracy of High Elves 5 (2/2)

”Oh, I got an idea,” the slime hit her palm. ”Hey, you piece of little paper. Do you wanna form a contract with our master?” she extended her hand upon saying it. ”E, e, eh? T, that's impossible. I'm so sorry, sister. I am not allowed to do so,” she lowered her head before her.

”Why not? Explain yourself, my sister,” the slime demanded with a terrifying voice. ”Uh, eh, I already pledged my loyalty to the rightful mast― I'm already taken, so I'm so sorry!” she begged for mercy.

'Why she hesitated to finish it? There's no harm of revealing it, though,' Hermes rubbed his chin as he observed them quietly.

The young Don wasn't a fan of forming another contract with a stranger, but the slime's plan said otherwise.

The grieving souls inside of her body started to lurk around like a powerful manifestation of her anger, irritation, and disappointment. Her liquid hair floated like the hair of medusa in the horror games.

”My day is ruined. My disappointment is immeasurable. To think you choose the wrong master. You're a disgrace to our family!” the slime cast a spell and shot her little sister without hesitation. Thankfully, the letter reacted quickly and used her shadow barrier to deflect it.

”S, sister, what are you doing?” the letter m.o.a.n.e.d, begging for an explanation. ”You're no longer my sister. You're a disposable familiar and a disgrace to our group. There's no need for us to continue our chit-chat like we used to be. It's fun to meet you again, but this is the end. Farewell,” the slime explained, converting the souls of her victim into mana.

The cries of the souls disappeared and two small spherical shape lights appeared on her hands. Then, she locked her eyes at her little sister.

'This is gettin' out of hand,' his lips trembled.

His body stood still from the outside perspective, but he's shaking inside his mind. The true personality of his companion gradually revealed itself.

'They are sisters, but she doesn't hesitate to kill her on the spot. Unbelievable, this is some sort of a mistake. I'm gonna make sure I won't do something stupid next time,' he gulped his saliva.

”Master is our true master. To think you let yourself be tainted by a fake individual. Why, why do you think I'm attackin' you right now? That's because I hate people who don't know their place in this world. As your big sister, it is my solemn duty to remove the disease within the family,” the slime declared, smiling.

Her smile looked genuine outside, but deep inside, she's holding a grudge against her little sister.

The letter petrified upon seeing her terrifying figure. Then, she vanished from our sight.

The slime clicked her tongue and folded her arms across her c.h.e.s.t.

”She escapes. What a stupid little sister. I'm so sorry. This is not what I expected. Next time, I will kill her for sure,” the slime faced her master and lowered her head in apology.

Hermes scratched his chin and smiled.

”It's fine. You don't have to worry. By the way, your little sister is a wonderful person, huh. To think she decided to appear even though she held a grudge against me,” said Hermes, recalling the letter's disdain gaze.

”Master, there's a lot of time we can do right now. How about I explained your former relationship with my other sisters?” the slime suggested. ”Naah, I'm good. I'm certain, I can come up with a great idea once I meet them in person,” Hermes adamantly refused.

The slime saddened upon his refusal.

'I, I don't understand everything. I'm not your former master's reincarnation, though. Hmm, wait for a second, I should come up with a good strategy to distant myself from this creature. I'm very sure this creature won't stay with me once she meets the owner of that letter. Yup, this strange development between us is certainly wrong,' Hermes simpered.

He closed his eyes and imagined the case.

'Once I'm done with this place, I will migrate to the Unified States. Then, I will hail to Southeast Asia to make sure my character's potential enemies won't find me. Yup, this is the best. I shouldn't aim to become the strongest being. This creature is enough to dismantle a magicless unit in one go. In this world, the mafia bosses are attracted to the overpowered individuals. The stronger the person is, the fear of being trampled prevailed over their hearts,' Hermes commented.

”Unbelievable. You're scheming something, aren't you, master?” the slime puffed her cheeks. She transformed immediately from her human figure to a mask. ”Of course, I'm always like this, slime. I have a wonderful plan that no one but me can initiate,” Hermes cheered.

”Master, master, can you share it with me?” the slime asked, eagerly. ”I'm sorry, but it is a personal agenda, slime. Don't pry into my plan, okay,” Hermes demanded.

The slime cried happily.

”Master, you're really a magnificent man. Just like the old times, you're always making a plan ahead of time. Then, everyone will tremble in fear once you commence the whole thing. Wonderful. This slime here will always follow you. No one shall ever lay a hand against your will, over to my dead s.e.xy body,” the slime declared.

”Man, my legs are starting to stiff. Let's head outside,” Hermes suggested.

'Crap, I have to find the children and Venus after this. Man, let's just pray they are okay,' he huffed.
