Moderate Clown Troupe

Walpurgis Venue - Guy's Party

The moment the Walpurgis ended, both Leon Crownwell and Roy Valentin, who act as the double body of Luminus Valentine in her position as Demon Lord, decided to leave after the territories were distributed according to their covered areas, making Rimuru, Dino, and Milim have some territories or widen their territories. In contrast, the other Demon Lords decided to stay for Guy's party, and they started drinking and eating some food and wine that came from Guy and Rimuru.

"Octagram, huh... you're good at naming Rimuru."

Dino said lazily while smirking inside, as he's the culprit behind why Rimuru was forced to name their group after Frey and Carrion's abdication, making the start of hellish naming of their group if not for Dino's intervention as he recommended Rimuru that was good at naming his subordinate alike to other Demon Lords.

"Yeah, thanks to someone."

Rimuru answers Dino with sarcasm while tasting the food created by Guy's subordinate. At the same time, the other Demon Lords praise the wine that comes from Rimuru, making him in a good mood since the death of Clayman.

-Nom nom nom

"..."

Still, if there were some anomalies in this party, it would be Artoria, whose been munching on the food, maybe because she was not content with what had happened earlier that she started venting all of her frustration on the food.

"..."

"Heh, quite a subordinate you have there, Dino."

Dagruel said curiosity as he felt that his friend's nature changed when he kicked him out of his territories.

"Well, sorry about this Guy, she's quite a gluttony."

"No need to apologize. I acknowledge all the people at this table as my equal."

Guy said to Dino, not caring about Artoria's attitude, as all the persons at the table have the ability to defeat him, even though some of them have little chance of defeating him. Still, having a chance and not having a chance to defeat him was a big factor, even for Guy himself.

(Aside from some escorts of Demon Lords, as they were the subordinate of the Demon Lords themselves, Guy won't acknowledge anyone just because they are Demon Lords or have a power equivalent to the Demon Lords, meaning that he acknowledges Artoria as one of the potentials who could defeat him someday.)

Dino thought inside him, having guessed Guy's motive in his sentence. At the same time, Milim, whose been denied by Rimuru to drink alcohol, look in Dino's direction with vigor.

"That's right-daso. Her potential could outmatch Ramiris in her prime, hehe."

"GAAAH!!! That was impossible. I am Eternal Invincible in my prime! Remember how I smacked you to your senses when you wreaked havoc in the past!?"

Ramiris denied Milim's statement as she shouted at her irritatingly. At the same time, she boosts her past achievement on how she supposedly defeated Milim even though it is not accurately true.

"No, I don't remember."

"..."

Ramiris was speechless as Milim did not remember how Ramiris sacrificed herself as Queen of Spirits to stop Milim and Guy's doomsday battle in the past.

-Nom nom nom

Artoria, the center of the topic, just continued eating her food while ignoring the commotion around her, making Frey, who was behind Dino, replacing Erza as Dino's escort, smile wryly at Artoria.

-?????, Moderate Clown Troupe Base(?)

"That's a lie!!! I Don't believe that Clayman and Laplace were dead!"

The clown with the angry mask said, still recovering due to Tristan poisoning them using his unique skill, while the clown with a crying mask was crying due to the bad news they received from their leader.

"President Kazalim!!"

"Given the current situation and Laplace and Clayman not responding to us, it might already be too late."

A beautiful female elf with violet eyes and blonde hair wearing formal attire said to her subordinate with a serious expression. She is the former Demon Lord that Leon Crownwell defeated in the past and also the current partner in the crime of Yuuki Kagurazaka, the "Curse Lord" Kazalim.

"My connection to them was severed. I don't feel their souls anymore..."

Kazalim said with sadness as she was also affected by the disappearance of her subordinates, making her hate Rimuru and the mysterious Demon Lord in the Great Forest of Jura.

(My adorable subordinates... take a good rest and watch us as we're going to realize our dreams.)

Kazalim also started crying as she mourned her subordinate's disappearance from this world.

-BANGGGGGGG

"!!!"

"Wha-"

At the same time, when all the Moderate Clown Troupe started mourning their supposedly dead comrade, an angel with unbelievable beauty with an aura of death itself appeared before them while kicking a clown with a happy mask in his butt repeatedly whose holding some kind of Orb housing a certain soul.

"Express Jibrilery~ Fufu, how's this? Did you awaken in some fetishes"

"AHHHH, YER CRAZY!!! I already apologized, so please stop kicking my butt!!!"

"This... how strange... according to my Master's record, kicking a pathetic monkey like you repeatedly would awaken in some kind of fetish..."

Jibril, who reads her master's information, particularly some dirty books, does not know it is only a fictional story. Still, with Jibril's total trust in her master, she won't doubt any information that comes from her master's memories.

"Then, let's cut it~. According to master's memory, cutting that part would enlighten you in some meaning."

"GAHHH~ help me, President Kazalim, Footman, Tear!!!"

Laplace said as he ran towards his comrades, who were looking at them dumbfoundedly. At the same time, Kazalim, looking at Laplace, feels her connection with Clayman, who she thought to die because of a severed connection between them.

(Don't tell me!)

Kazalim thought as she eyed their unexpected guess warily while Footman and Tear assumed a combat stance, ready to intercept their unwanted guess.

"Wait! President Kazalim! She's not an enemy or an enemy we can face!"

Laplace said hurriedly as he stopped the tension that was brewing between his comrade and Jibril.

"What do you mean, Laplace?"

"This... you should probably know who is this, right?"

Laplace said as he showed the Orb that house's Clayman souls, making Kazalim and others look at each other as they drop their combat stance. At the same time, Jibril, looking at them with an interested eye, smiles at them.

"Well, It's a shame I thought I could play with you guys, your such a kill-joy clowny~."

Jibril said while looking at Laplace with cold eyes, making Laplace chill on his back as he remembered the trauma he experienced in Avalon.

"I see, an Angel. It looks like you guys want to have a negotiation with us."

A young guy with black hair spoke. Jibril narrowed her eyes in his direction because she sensed a danger coming from him—it was Yuuki Kagurazaka, the Grand Master of the Free Guild.

(Master is right... this guy was dangerous... but why is Dino-sama still not disposing of him... I want to kill him but...)

Jibril might do some wicked plans for Yuuki Kagurazaka if not for her master's warning before she came here.
