The Red Priest and Blue Slime Chapter 43 (Patreon)

All too soon, those three fuck nugget beastmen were inside of my office and sitting across from my table Benimaru was behind me on my left, and Shion was behind me on my right.

"Let me preface this meeting with this... I am not happy with you three. Greviously hurting one of my people is NOT the way you introduce yourself in polite society." I said coldly.

The leopard beastmen, the leader of this trio, snorted and said flatly. "You have set yourself up as the king of a Monster nation. We don't have a polite society, you damned fool."

I tilted my head to the side before I said idly. "Oh... So I should tear your limbs off, and use you as a blood bag for high-quality alchemical reagents huh? I do need a steady supply of majin organs and limbs for alchemy. Yes... That's a good idea."

All three of them paused, and their own faces went pale as my much more powerful mana slammed into their sense,s as my eyes glowed with eldritch power as well as the purple flames of the Yatagarasu.

Then I pulled back my power as I idly noted the two women. Suphia, the tiger woman who in the original timeline, actually married Gabiru. And the serpent woman Albis who was part of the chad Benimaru's harem who actually had a number of kids by the time the series ended.

'Pity, she is rather hot.' I mused as I wasn't going to steal one of my very loyal suborbinates future wives just because she was pretty and had a snakeussy thing going on.

"Why are you here?" I asked Phobos, the leopard beastmen, bluntly.

He grimaced before he glanced at Milim who was across my office slurping down an oversized rootbeer float. And by oversized, I meant the cupt was as tall as her chest as the cup was meant for the big orcs that were part of our city state.

Then he looked back to me and folded his arms over his chest... Like a fucking child as he said petulantly. "Lord Carrion told us to get you to submit to his rule. He promised his protection in return for your elixirs that can grant skills and wanted to set trade agreements."

I raised an eyebrow before I said slowly. "So... As the representative of another Demon Lord. You stroll into my land, almost kill the man who greets you and demand me to bend the knee when your king more along the lines wanted a more equal vassalage of my lands?"

He snorted and said flatly. "You are neither Hero, nor Demonlord. Where do you get the idea you have the right to dictate terms to my lord! You should be glad, my lord didn't come and force you into swearing loyalty!"

I just... Fucking stared at the dumbass, and I looked at Milim, who shrugged helplessly as Shion, behind me snapped out.

"Stupid fool! There is a reason your king didn't attempt to force my master into service! If he, who can casually make elixirs even before reaching either stage, can give out skills in mass. He knows he can just as easily make elixirs that will poison the land or its people before they could even realize!"

I shrugged. As it was all too true. Making an elixir that safely gave someone a skill from the worlds will, was far harder.

But my face twitched as Phobo, without any hesitation, shook his head and said firmly. "No! Once my kink shows his strength, his charisma, and his vision. Once Jake is welcomed into the beast nation, a dozen women seeking his strength and talent tie him down with thirty children before the year is out! He woudn't even think of poisoning the well!"

The room went quiet at the beastmen's... Utterly shameless way of bringing me into their arms.

I could hear Shion's knuckles behind me cracking along with her outfit straining as her clenched fists at her sides tore the fabric even as Benimaru coughed and threw me a helpless look.

As I knew what he was thinking... He was totally the kind to fall into such a honey trap after all. He had like three or four kids by the time the series was over after all.

Still, I face-palmed as I realized this dumbass was both too stupid and shameless to be schemed against by me. Maybe someone more cruel and clever could use him. But he was just a beat stick in the end after all.

"Shion, lead them to the guest room. I will pen a letter to the Demon Lord Carrion that you will deliver to him detailing a trade agreement we can have. Which includes that skill elixirs, obviously. But I would be ready for a beating when you get home." I finished with an evil look at Phobos.

The man snorted and said proudly. "If getting those elixirs into my kinsmen's hands requires my king to beat me bloody. Then that is a price I will proudly pay! Your teasing threat means nothing to me, Jake Bariss!"

Even Milim snorted and said helplessly. "I kinda feel bad for Carrion... But he is also a muscle head anyway."

Either way, I exhaled in annoyance and waved them away. I just wanted these empty-headed beastmen out of Jura at this point so I could get a couple more months of peace before the next bullshit happens.
