14 New Subordinate

[Notice: The core of Charybdis has been removed from Phobio and consumed, preparation to isolate it and begin its Appraisal]

The Great Sage said to Rimuru as he removed the core of Charybdis from Phobio, who came out of the body of Charybdis by using his Unique skill: Gluttony, while he also used Healing Potions to cure him.

"Is this guy still alive?"

Mordred inquired while poking Phobio using a stick that came from branches of some trees while everyone looked at her with a twitch in their eyes.

(You are the one who almost killed him!)

Everyone thought while a girl dressed in a rather bold swimsuit-like outfit consisting of thigh-high socks and black panties appeared close to Mordred and talked to her.

"You are so strong! Just who are you-noda?"

Milim looked at Mordred with stars in her eyes.

"I am Mordred son of Artoria Pendragon"

"Oh, what a knightly woman."

"..."

The atmosphere changed when Milim said her thoughts about Mordred, making even Rimuru step back.

"..."

"..."

"Hah... forget about it, even if I challenge you because you thought me as a woman, I might be the one who would be beaten up, particularly my 6th senses are telling me that your dangerousness is the same as our mascot."

"I see. Did you hear that, bestie? Whahahaha, she's scared of me-noda!"

(Stop!!! Don't add more fuels to the fire!)

Rimuru thought as he forcefully pushed Milim to the back, while Mordred, who's been called a coward, had a thick mark on her forehead.

"Mordred-dono, thank you for saving us from that monster; I feared that if you did not appear, we might have difficulty defeating that monster."

Dorf, the Captain of the Pegasus Knights of Armed Nation of Dwargon, gives his gratitude to Mordred, who's been fuming with anger because of Milim.

"Don't mention it; if you are going, thank me, then thank my father, as she's the one who orders me to help you guys."

"Of course, We are also grateful to Artoria-dono and Rimuru-dono. I think it's time for us to leave; I must report our victorious battle on Charybdis to my King, who had catastrophic effects on all mankind."

"You guys were a great help; Please give King Gazel my regards."

Rimuru said to Dorf as Dorf and Pegasus Knights decided to leave to report their victorious battle against Charybdis.

...

...

Treyni the Dryad and Rimuru examine Phobio, who'd been awakened minutes later after he came out of Charybdis's body.

"Yoh, You awake?"

"Where... am I? What... What did I..."

Rimuru questions Phobio, whose been holding his head because of the confusion and headache that caused him when he was separated from Charybdis.

"Do you remember what you did?"

"!!!"

"I'm so sorry; I've done something unthinkable to Milim-sama and caused so much trouble for you."

Phobio suddenly becomes aware of what he did, bows his head to Rimuru and everyone as he apologizes to them, and confesses his sins.

"Why did you do--"

"Why did you eat the core of Charybdis? No, who gives you the core of Charybdis?"

"We won't accept that you just happened to find it randomly on someplace."

"You heard her!"

Treyni and another Dryad interrupted Rimuru as she was the one who continued to question Phobio.

"Right... You see..."

...

...

"You already have so many strong subordinates; why do you still need me who could not have eliminated the problem that resides beside my territory since my reign?"

Frey question Dino whose been eating his food with Ophis.

"Your specialty lies elsewhere; that monster has Jamming Magic, Resist Melee Attack, and Ultraspeed Regeneration, a worse opponent for you."

"..."

"And, I also did not expect Mordred to Kill it singlehandedly, just like you; her Unique Skill was Charybdis nemesis."

"I see..."

[Notice by Administrative Assistant: I am the one who recommended Mordred, please recognize my contribution (^.^)]

(How of you, cheeky... Of course, also thanks to you)

[Notice by Administrative Assistant: Hehehe (^.^)]

Dino thanks his skill that brought him some notice through-window screen, making his Unique Skill: Administrative Assistant become very happy and start to feel the emotion called happiness.

"More importantly, how's your progress about Clayman."

"That guy already give me this."

Frey said as she brought an ominous necklace in front of Dino.

"You really know what that guy was going to do next..."

"Of course, that guy whose only skill was to manipulate his subordinate will also try to manipulate his comrades. Did not that guy already use you because of this incident?"

"..."

"Then this thing is also useless, just like him."

"!!!"

Dino said as he wore the necklace that Frey brought and gestured to her that it was nothing but a sort of joke.

"See? a useless skill for a useless guy."

"Hah... you are terrifying in another way, just like Guy and Milim, as the one you would expect to the ancient Demon Lords, they are not to be a mess with"

"Hohoho, you finally see my magnificent, so do you want to become my subordinate now?"

"Yes"

"I see, such a shame that---!?"

Dino, who thought she would reject him, became shocked as he did not expect her that she will agree with him.

"Fufufu, at least you could not expect that from me, aren't you?"

"..."

Frey smiled seductively at his shocked expression.

"Hah... What a fine woman... if you're fine with it, accept my summoning and become my subordinate."

"Why?"

"Well, there are many merits to you. Accepting my summoning and becoming under my Ultimate skill influence would hasten your power growth."

(Well, at least for the time being, she will be loyal to me until she awakens, so until that time...)

Dino thought as he explained the benefits of becoming under his Ultimate skill influence.

"Well, you're the boss. I could not say no to you, right?"

Frey said to him with a wink making him wryly smile because of her boldness actions.

[Notice by Administrative Assistant: Use Indolence King Belphegor - Summoning Servent: on the subject "Frey the Sky queen?"]

"Yes..."

Blinding light could be seen between the two Demon Lords as a strong connection started to connect them without a certain doubt.

"..."

"..."

"You... how came you----"

Dino said, looking at his new subordinate with a shocked expression printed on his face.
