chapter 15

""""CHEERS""""

We were at a kind of dwarven nightclub, holding a rather anticlimactic wrap-up party. The weapons were safely in the king's hands, and it was time to celebrate. I mean, I told them they didn't have to…

"Aw, come on! There's lots of beautiful ladies in there!"

"Yeah, yeah! Young ones, and older, too, if you like a little weathering on 'em! It's the perfect place for any gentleman!"

"...!!"

I mean if they insisted mwehehehe

But of course, I had to come clean. Before we arrived to the nightclub, I removed the illusion over myself and needless to say they were shocked.

"You were a tiefling?"

Kaijin was shocked the most, probably because he was old so he'd know for a fact that I was supposed to he extinct.

And that worked on my favor, I explained that I had to disguise myself since I didn't want anyone to get the idea of selling me since I was basically a walking stellar coin and Kaijin understood.

"You'd be worth at least ten stellar coins if you were sold in the black market, so I can see where you're coming from."

But wow, ten stellar coins. Maybe I should sell myself, escaped then disguise myself as a different tiefling to get rich fast.

Never a dull moment, huh?

The place was called the Night Butterfly.

Were the hosts really butterflies, then? They'd better not turn out to be moths!

…Not that I really cared. I was a gentleman. I'd try anything once, I thought as we strolled in.

"Ooh, welcome!"

"""Welcome, sirs!"""

I.

Was.

In heaven.

Beautiful babes all around me. They were all bona-fide elves and God damn, the media couldn't justify their looks at all, they were even more beautiful in the flesh!

And hell, those thin fabrics that they're wearing! Oh my God, is it just me or is my temperature skill not working!

"Ooh, no way! Who's this handsome fellow!"

H-handsome!?

"Wowee, he's so tall, what's your name Sir?"

"U-Uh, R-Rimuru!"

Oh no, I'm not used to this at all.

I could feel something soft sandwiching both of my arms as two elves immediately ran towards me, probably curious and amazed on what I was.

Thankfully they aren't afraid, I thought they would.

I mean, tieflings are demons, and elves are elves. I'm basically just a dark skinned elf right? Or maybe they also get confused with dark elves? Is this us bonding over possible racism?

I don't even know what to think anymore!

"...Judging from your red face, I'm assuming you like this"

"N-No comment."

I gulped and was essentially a frozen statue as Kaijin and the 3 brothers left to get a booth for us.

I on the other hand was left with the two elves, who seemed to have multiplied as there were now four people escorting me to the booth.

"Are you a tiefling by any chance?"

"Y-yeah! I am actually."

"Wooah, really? That's so cool! Are you an adventurer?"

"N-No"

"Ehh, then how'd you get these muscles? They're so toned!"

Oh my God one of them is latching to my arm, this is heaven! I'm convinced, this is the reason why I was reincarnated!

For elven beauties!

My brother down there seems to completely agree, thankfully the spider silk is holding on, yes my silk! Hold on!

"Well! If it isn't Kaijin! Goodness me, what are you doing, bringing this vulgar monster into a high-class establishment like this?"

Of course someone had to ruin the mood.

By dwarf standards, this one was quite tall and thin in stature, making him…well, an average human in size.

"Hey! Boss! You guys allowin' monsters in here these days?"

Excuse you, I am a customer.

"N-no," an older female manager replied. "But, they're Mr. Kaijin's friend, so..."

"Are you saying that just because a monster is his friend then it's not a monster?"

Oh this guy is getting on my nerves, I want to punch him but I'm still enjoying the warm, fuzzy feeling of being surrounded by beauties. Especially when they clung to me once he entered the scene

Ahhh, blisssss

"I… No, sir, but…" The manager stuttered noncommittally, trying to calm the man down, but the boor wasn't even paying attention. Clearly, he was after us.

"Oh, great," one of the girls sighed. "That's Vester, the minister."

Oh, Vester.

Huh? I look like I don't care? You're God damn right, why would I care for a man who's gonna work under me.

"Y'know what best suits a monster?" Vester bellowed. "This!" Then he emptied the contents of his water glass over me.

Oh?

Oh?

I was about to sit up and pulverize Vester so he knows where he stands on the food chain but luckily I was a gentleman and the feeling of soft mounds stopping me from standing up snapped me into the correct mind set of let weaklings yap.

"Hey… You think you can just pick on us all you want?!"

With an audible kick at the table, Kaijin stood up.

"You think you can run around and make fun of my guest, Vester? You think I'm not gonna mind that? You think?!"

You're doing good old man, you're doing good. This is why I like you.

"How…how dare you speak to me like that, you…!" Vester sputtered, still in shock.

"Will you shut up already?!" Kaijin shouted, accentuating his point by launching a punch at the minister's face. A few moments later, he asked me, "Hey, Rimuru, you were lookin' for someone to help you, right? Would I be good enough, maybe?"

AND A KNOCK OUT PUNCH!

Well not really but it should have been cause damn, Kaijin you got dem throwing hands but back to topic.

"Of course, I'd be more than honored to have you my friend!"

We simply decided to enjoy the remaining time until the upcoming trial, where I'm sure as hell something was gonna happen because I was no longer using my disguise.

But hey, elven beauties man... they're so great. Heck I'm tempted to hunt down the elves hiding in Jura and save them from the ongoing war between those two warring monsters.

Hmm, a bow user would be nice too.

Elves are sharpshooters after all, or is that a racist thing to say?

In other news, we were already surrounded by guards. Like I cared, well I cared because the girls had already left us

Damn.

But anyway, it was time.

To meet the Dwarven Hero himself.

Gandalf...

Ganondorf....

Uh wait, Ga... Gazel?

Uh bah, whatever.
