Blessing Of Yuri Goddess

My horse immediately galloped towards the main city of Earl Timoti.

The journey on my horse's saddle felt a little boring, especially with the scenery that didn't catch my eye and the problems that kept popping up every second I passed.

My mind was still haunted by Momo's words that told me that behind this attack was someone as troublesome as me.

The same thought...

The same idea...

Even paying someone else to do the bad thing...

It was like I got a lot information that showed the similarities between me and someone as troublesome as this. Sitting on the horse's saddle like this, I followed the pace of the horse that was being led by Evelyn.

Following from behind her who was heading towards the main city, I gave a small code to Aiko and Sirius who were in their slimeball forms to move quickly to secure our way home.

By giving that small code, several herds of stealth slimes immediately scattered to carry out the task I gave.

Swiipp...

Shhuusshh...

They immediately spread out faster than my horse which was running fast like this.

"They can run faster than a horse now?" I muttered a little while holding back my surprise knowing they could move faster than before.

[ Supreme Commander, are you listening to my voice? ]

When I had ordered the stealth slime herd to spread out, I suddenly heard a voice from one of the stealth slimes who had served as a spy agent in another noble's territory under my supervision.

"Yes, I heard you. Is there a special report you want to give directly by contacting me suddenly like this?" I replied in a thin and faint tone.

Wooosshh...

With the wind exposed to my horse's speed like this, I began to tighten my body position on the saddle of my horse which began to run without caring about the safe speed limit.

Sitting on this uncomfortable saddle, I listened to the report given by this nameless stealth slime.

[ Yes, Supreme Commander. This is a report that you must hear directly. ]

[ Do you still remember the people who caused chaos in your territory before? ]

"What's with that kind of question?"

[ We have discovered the involvement of this noble family in the smuggling of royal treasures in exchange for the services of a group that aims to satisfy the desire for destruction that will awaken the Goddess of Destruction. ]

[ Doesn't that sound quite terrible if it were to happen again? ]

"Has something like that happened before?"

[ Hasn't it happened before, Supreme Commander? ]

[ We even found evidence of a strange sword being carried by one of the mysterious members. From the magic components and traces of magic emitted by it, it is similar to a sword we saw inside the body of the Golden King Bear. ]

[ I'm sure this is the same group that caused chaos in your territory, Supreme Commander. ]

Hearing the report given by the herd of stealth slimes who served as spy agents made me want to test them with some information. It seemed like they had understood some of the information that was happening along with the red knot that were connected.

"I didn't know you could find important information like this as spy agents, is there any difficulty that the report given is a little longer than usual?"

Wuuussshh...

While enduring the wind that hit my fast-moving horse, I asked this stealth slime a vague question.

[ Yes, we were a little late in reporting because this one sword seemed to be alive and aware of our presence. It's a little difficult to sneak in and find information if this sword is actively casting magic which makes it difficult for us to hear the contents of their conversation. ]

[ Forgive us for the delay in reporting this information, Supreme Commander. ]

"No problem, it's because the sword you found is one of the cursed swords made by the Goddess of Destruction."

"A living sword that has its mind and consciousness. Now that makes me wonder, are the cursed swords you saw pure swords made by the Goddess of Destruction or cursed swords made by humans using illegal black magic techniques?"

By asking a question like this, I seemed like I was giving a tough task to the stealth slime who was on duty as a spy agent.

The only way I could think of right now to distinguish between the cursed sword that was originally made by the Goddess of Destruction or an imitation made by humans.

I will rely on Momo's ability to recognize her cursed sword sisters.

An unusual and difficult method but with a high success rate.

[ Do we need to confirm this, Supreme Commander? ]

With such a question, I gave a casual answer to the hed of stealth slimes who were on duty as spy agents.

"For now, act according to the situation. You can report directly when they start moving and planning something, right?"

[ Ah! Yes! We can do that and it seems like we understand new information from the lip reading that has just been translated well by one of us. ]

"Hmm..."

On the saddle of a horse that was galloping like this, I tilted my face as if I heard something interesting.

Reading lip movements in spy activities, it can be said that it is quite a risky method because human lip movements are often not precise in pronouncing consonants in words at the right lip movement interval.

But they can do read human lip movement... translation like this?

Haven't they developed a lot as a herd of stealth slimes that specialize in spying?

I seem to have raised a stealth slime that is able to develop rapidly with the right education and assignments.

In this way, at least I have been able to use the herd of stealth slimes for various needs.

[ Do we need to tell you about this, Supreme Commander? ]

[ Their current plan is not something that threatens your territory. ]

"Just tell me, I also want to know what kind of stupid plan they are planning."

[ It seems like they are planning to spread poison around the territory of a noble who has the title of Earl. ]

[ If we not read their lips movement wrong... it Earl Timoti or Bimoli territory. ]

"They plan to spread poison in a river in Earl Timoti's territory."

[ Y-Yes, Supreme Commander. How did you find out with such rough information? ]

[ Oh! They are also preparing to file a lawsuit against that Earl family through a legal report to the royal family after the widespread pollution of the river using poison. ]

"Oh, my, is that their brilliant plan?" With a seemingly lazy tone, I tried to enjoy the ride home on the horse's saddle and listened to the report given by the stealth slime spy.

I felt that the tactics they used were not bad.

I felt amazed after previously feeling satisfied with getting an opponent that was equal to me.

It seemed like they were creating a good opportunity to attack legally or attack by invasion.

"I feel happy about this," I muttered without connecting to the Soul Tame communication channel.

"I didn't think they would do something crazy like this with thorough preparation."

While keeping my face from smiling and sitting quietly on the saddle of the galloping horse, I began to give further instructions to the herd of stealth slimes who were on duty as spy agents.

"Continue your work in monitoring this noble family, I want reports on every movements their make to be monitored."

"I feel like they are making smooth movements like this by getting help from outsiders."

[ We understand, Supreme Commander. ]

[ We will continue to monitor their movements that have become more annoying like this. ]

"Uhm, as a note for you alls. I just stopped their movements that were polluting the river with poison that already happen."

"I don't want to say this, so please work more actively and keep yourselves from not being detected by that cursed sword."

[ Yes, Supreme Commander! ]

After listening to the report given by the stealth slime, I began to glance at Mio and Evelyn who seemed focused on what was happening around them.

After the emergence of the troublesome cult, they were much more careful with their surroundings which were filled with only trees and wild plants.

On the way back to the main city of Earl Timoti, we made a long detour and conducted a patrol military training.

With Evelyn's group's attitude and behavior being alert to their surroundings, it gave me free time to correct the truth that had been conveyed to the stealth slime herd that was acting as a spy agent.

"Did you hear my entire conversation earlier, Momo?" I asked Momo who was not far from my horse's saddle.

"I heard it clearly, my Monarch."

"Well, maybe it sound stupid... What is your view on this matter?"

"My view on this matter? Isn't it obvious... they are not fools who can move as complicated and structured as this. Someone control them..."

Hearing the answer given by Momo, made me feel relieved because we have the same view on strange oddities like this.

"This one cult usually only contains a group of fanatical fools who will do anything to achieve their goals. Usually not far from the damage caused by their muscles and stupidity."

"I know that feeling, especially after meeting Jean," I replied, with a tired look after remember Jean's fanaticism towards the Goddess of Destruction.

Brrrttt...

My body suddenly felt goosebumps when I thought about this and my mind began to replay the scene where Jean began to obey my every command.

"Ahhh... this gives me goosebumps when I remember it again," I continued to grumble after understanding the stupid characteristics of this cult.

"Fools who gather in one place but suddenly move together with full preparation like this, they like puppets being controlled by someone. Nothing more than that..." in my one sentence, I immediately gave a gentle caress to the handle of my cursed Odachi.

"It would be very doubtful for them to move without direction from someone who seems to understand the political conditions that are happening in the Aurora Kingdom."

"Someone who made Princess Anastasia herself must have moved behind the scenes by calling an emergency meeting attended by the royal family and several important nobles who are her closest allies."

"...That is if they are allies of the royal family... without any ally impostor behind it..."
