Chapter 9

"Really?" The king said while looking at Rimuru's figure with a doubtful look...thinking obviously.

"I'm 30" Rimuru revealed

"Ehh?!" Prince and King

"I'm sorry for losing my composure, I'm just..shocked" King

"I know..and ohh.I'm a male" he added

"Sighh, I see" King

"Father, they're Ace, Kakashi, Rimuru, and Ash" Prince introduced while pointing at us one by one.

"So Mr Acr, Mr Rimuru, Mr Kakashi, and M-" The King looked at me confusingly

"Mr," I said

"Mr Ash, would you accept my proposal of being Justin's Bodyguard?"

"We sure do your majesty, we don't need payment. Justine is already a friend" Justine smiled at my speech.

The king, seeing his son smile genuinely also smiled. He of course knows his son's wish to have a true friend.

"I'm employing you, so you have no choice but to accept my payment" King's tone is softer now.

"We don't need it, you can just give us some weapons as Kakashi is the only one who uses one in our group. I thought that we should at least have some Dagger for an emergency." Me

"Weapons? very well..what kind of weapons do you need?" King

"I brought a sword with me," Rimuru said then a sword came out of his hand.

"Spatial Storage? Wait no..you don't have any accessory in your hand" King

"Storage spell" Ash

"I see, how about you Mr Robin? Mr Ash?" King said with a softer voice and some tint of respect.

The 3 members looked confused by the sudden change.

"Spatial Items, especially spells are rare here" I explained

"Spatial Items are rare in my Kingdom while Spatial Spells is a myth, I always thought that it's just a legend. I heard that only those Ancient Sects and Saints have Spatial Spells" King explained with now noticeable respect in his tone, after all..the three are confused why he held the Storage in high regard and thought that things like that might be common from where we came from.

"I need a twin short swords," I said, going back to our topic.

"I don't need one," Acr said while looking at me

"Give him a sword" I said to the King

"Just use a sword with armament haki, your fire is too overkill," I said to Ace.

"Very well, please don't expect much as the quality might not be on par with your expectation"

"It's fine, it's just for Emergency," I said

"Justine, give them the rooms beside yours"

King

"Follow me" Justine

His room is rather close to the office. Kakashi and Rimuru Occupied the room beside Justine. I took the one beside Kakashi while Ace took the one beside Rimuru.

After 10 mins of checking our room, the maids called us for dinner.

After dinner, we went to our room.

I waited for half an hour before going out.

I looked at the door beside mine while contemplating.

{Host}

'Yes? If it's not important, tell me later. I'm having an important internal discussion '

{More like thinking if you should enter Kakashi's Room, your Pervert side is waking up}

'I wonder if he showered already? A little peek is all I need'

{Sigh}

'You sound like you've given up on something'

'Alright, I've decided..this is for the greater good ' I walked towards my room

{You gave up?}

'Hmm, I feel like if I did something..things will go awkward the next day, I don't mind it but I prioritise my member's feelings'

I went back to my room and started cultivating.

In the pocket Dimension, I'm absorbing void energy.. in here, I'm absorbing what they call Qili, the same as qi.

------

When the sun is about to rise, I got up from my bed..took a bath and went outside. My clothes didn't get dirty so I can just wear them again.

'Come to think of it, Can I still enter the pocket Dimension while on mission?'

{Yes, but the others can't}

'That's good'

I went outside and in just a couple of minutes, the others went out one by one.

'All of them are morning people? cause I'm not'

{Ace is used to waking up at dawn, Rimuru don't sleep, and Kakashi only slept lightly..because of you}

'What did I do? I didn't go to him last night.'

{That's the point, you said you're going but you didn't.}

'Don't tell me he waited for me!'

{He did actually.}

'oww, what a loss.'

I deactivated my Invisibility and greeted them.

"Good Morning Ladies and gentlemen!" I said but when I looked at Rimuru.

"..and neither?" I said then chuckled at my joke.

"Should we wake up our little Prince?"

{You keep calling everyone with nicknames, you're not like that in the past}

'What do you think will happen if I called someone with a nickname back then?'

'This time, I'll do what I feel like doing. I felt free, without any worry about the consequences of my actions'

"Slimy, you're on the live stream? did you even close it last night?" I asked Rimuru

He ignored how I called him and answered.

"I didn't close it, I'm bored so I let it open and talked with the others. They said that they don't feel tired and hungry in there but some still slept out of habit." I just nodded

"Ace, wake Justine up," I said

He knocked at the door loudly which opened after a minute.

Justine who's wearing a loose shirt that showed his collar bone and a pyjama. His eyes were still closed and his hair was messy.

Justine has black wavy hair that reaches to his chin with a golden brown Phoenix eye...with an earring in his left ear.

'Damnn, He looks so sexy' I thought as I observe his morning get up carefully.

He opened his eyes and coincidentally met mine so I whistled, he suddenly blushed and slammed the door close.

"Huh?" Rimuru blinked as he stared at the door.

I opened the live stream as we waited.
