Leon: "What do you mean? You don't evens-"
"Chloe Aubert." The words I spoke made Leon get so shocked that he simultaneously stood up and became weak in the knees that he almost sat down.
"Ho-how do you know that… that name?" Leon's voice was shaky to say the least, the one thing that could break that cold exterior of his was his adopted sister and now that he had someone who knew something, he wouldn't let it go.
"I know a lot of things Leon, just think of it as a bit of spacetime probing." I said as a tease.
Leon moved on from my reading and desperately asked for more answers, "When you said something about someone already being summoned, did you mean that…"
Leon didn't finish his sentence and hoped that I would answer him anyway, "Those kids that were saved by Rimuru, the ones you were just about to intercept and save yourself, one of those was that adorable childhood friend of yours."
As I spoke I moved the grayfog to the middle of the table and it formed into a projection of the five kids and Rimuru, I silently commanded the projection to zoom in on Chloe.
"See that, that's your precious little friend right there. Although whether she remembers you is another story as her soul has went through a lot of erosion."
Before I could finish my warning, Leon had gotten up and began walking out, " I wouldn't recommend that if I were you."
Leon stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at me, " Why is that?" His eyes looked slightly crazy.
" Currently at the moment, those kids are being watched and under protection by Rimuru. If you take evens one of them away then Rimuru, who already has a bad view of you, will retaliate and their will be a war between two demon lords."
" So you just expect me to-"
" Not to mention…" I interrupted Leon in the middle of his retort, " If you make an enemy of Rimuru then you make an enemy of me."
My declaration surprised everyone there, " Do you think that a threat from you will really stop me? There's no way Guy would allow you to just do what you want."
Guy: " Leon just do what he wants. Evens I'm not confidant in my ability to defeat Simon."
Now Leon was just astonished, he looked around the room and Velzard, Misery and Raine all just nodded.
My authoritive tone transformed into a solemn pitiful tone, "It was nice to see you again Leon but I will not spare someone who acts so irrationally for something. You've waited three hundred years for her, you can wait a little longer."
At my words, Leon's cold calculating exterior returned and he just sighed in exhaustion, " See you all at Walpurgis." He walked out and the door closed behind him.
Everyone looked at me with a worried expression, " Can you all calm down, it's not like you guys haven't delivered threats before."
I got up after Velzard moved from my lap, "I'm going to Rimuru, he should be in some sort of meeting at the moment." I said as I looked through the fog to see Rimuru in the outside meeting with officials from Dwargon, Sarion and more.
Velzard: "I'll go with you."
" Really?" I was surprised by her interest.
Velzard: " Well yes, it would be nice to see my little brother."

"So basically Clayman is trying to pin the blame Carrion's betrayal on me and that Milim's destruction was completely justified." Rimuru repeated what Ramiris had just said to him.
"Yeah so that's why Walpurgis is being held." Ramiris said calmly as if her previous panicked demeanor didn't exist.
"I doubt you have anything to worry about."
"AHHHH!"
"AHHHH!"
Both Ramiris and Rimuru jumped when they heard the voice, 'Raphael! Didn't I tell you to alert me of any significant individual entering Tempest!?' Rimuru screamed internally at his skill.
{Apologies but… I couldn't detect Simon's presence and still can not detect his presence at this very moment. It seems he is only making himself visible to ordinary human senses.}
'Of course he is.' Rimuru just sighed internally.
" You do know I can hear both you and your ultimate skill talking to each other, right?" I said to Rimuru who flinched slightly.
" So it seems that you are aware of Walpurgis… wait how did you evens find out about it?" Ramiris was very confused by my knowledge of events.
Simon: " Well I am friends with a couple demon lords… but the real reason is because I'm the one hosting Walpurgis this time."
Ramiris: "HUH! You're hosting Walpurgis!? Why?"
"Guy asked me to do so and frankly I'm quite interested in seeing what will happen." I shrugged off Ramiris's shouting.
"So… we're going back to Eden?" Ramiris asked with stars in her eyes.
"Yes, yes you little fairy." I said patting the head of the fairy queen with my finger.
"Do you think it will go down well for me?" Rimuru addressed me with concern.
"Oh you have nothing to worry about. I'm sure that it will be ok, evens with Milim being controlled." I said, easing the slimes concerns, " Believe me when I say that your situation is much better than you think it is."
Rimuru: " How do?"
"I have slowly paved some steps for you within the Demon lords council and you have done so yourself by befriending Milim and Ramiris."
Rimuru turned to Veldora, "Ok Veldora, we're going in- WHAAAAA" When he faced the originally manga reading storm dragon, well he wasn't reading anymore.
Instead he was laying in the lap of a women who was patting his head and putting him to sleep.
"Um, who are you?" Rimuru asked the suspiciously appearing women, although she wasn't the only one who suspiciously appeared.
The women looked up and greeted the slime with sincerity "Oh apologies for not introducing myself. I am Velzard, the true frost dragon and Veldora's older sister."
Rimuru was shocked, " Huh, What business do you have here? Are you here to see your brother?"
" Did he not tell you, that's disappointing. Well I'm also Simon lover and his plus one in visiting this place."
Rimuru just felt like his mind had blown, he looked towards Ramiris who just nodded and then they both looked at me.
But when looking at me, they saw that I was both looking away and had a feint blush on my face with a tiny smile.
