(1st PoV)
After a while, we reached Blumund.
I cannot notice any suspicious gaze on us anymore. But someone was definitely watching us. Mainly Rimuru.
It must be a really talented spy.
"Finally!"
Eren exclaimed as we reached the entrance.
On the way, they got confused due to some flowers, so I actually had to lead us here.
They sure are useless.
"Aww! What a cutie! Must be a fan of the champion Shizue Izawa!"
On being called a cutie, Rimuru wearing his mask seemed happy.
"Young lady, here, for you!"
Rimuru got a free street food.
"Thank you miss!"
...He sure is a weird 37 year old man. Maybe even 38.
"You are enjoying this?"
"Hey! Free food is free food. Don't judge me! What about you, huh? All the ladies are frozen in their place, blushing looking at you. Ikemen like you should explode!"
Now that he said it, girls are looking at me.
Well, Sasuke is the most handsome character in fiction. That's why I was cosplaying as him.
All the stares... I find it rather troublesome.
"Umm, excuse me! Can I get an autograph—"
"No."
"Can I ask your name—"
"No."
Before I knew it, a horde of girls started following me.
...
And Eren and her party disappeared in the crowd.
Moreover, Rimuru was having fun on my expense.
So, I grabbed his head, and turned to the crowd.
"This is my daughter."
"WHAT!?"
I cut off Rimuru and left him in the crowd, disappearing in the crowd using Transformation Jutsu as their attention shifted to Rimuru.
I should have brought a cloak...
Anyway, I headed to a store, bought a cloak, and left for the guild, undoing my transformation.
And I bought something else too that I found interesting.
"Pfft!"
I controlled my laughter as I read it on the way.
The 'Champion' Youm's companion sure is good at writing fanfiction.
'The Champion and the Monster Princess'.
Anyway, I arrived at the guild, which had a restaurant as well.
I sat at a table and ordered the first thing in the menu, listening to the conversations of adventurers.
"They say that the Hero gave Demon Lord Milim a run for her money."
Guy... that bastard...
"Well, he did tame Charybdis. No wonder he can challenge a Demon Lord."
"Idiot! Milim is not some weakling like Clayman that even Hinata Sakaguchi can defeat! She is one of the ancient Demon Lord! Charybdis is nothing in front of her!"
"Whatever man. I don't think he is a Hero. Why would he be serving a monster nation like Tempest then?"
"Maybe he is an Otherwolder Summon? His name does sound weird. If the leader of monsters summoned him, then he wouldn't really have a choice but to serve him, won't he?"
"Damn man! That's scary! What if the monsters attack Blumund?"
"Heh. Why would they? As if Blumund has anything to loot. It will be better to target Falmuth or Dwargon."
"Nah. They are monsters. What reason do they even need?"
All kinds of rumours were going around. Regarding Tempest, mostly negative.
Propaganda is being spread that I was summoned by Rimuru. Meaning, a Hero is bound by a monster.
And in the centre of it all, there is one adventurer who is knowledgeable about Milim's strength, not ignorant like others who think that all Demon Lords are around same level and Hinata can defeat them.
And judging by him trash-talking Clayman, it's not the work of Clayman.
Maybe it's Yuuki.
Or, judging by the adventurers magicules...
He is a Majin or Demon serving Guy, working to spread rumours.
I bet Guy is overestimating me and is itching to fight me, that's why he is intentionally pissing me off.
Well, whichever of the two possibilities it is, there is one way to find out.
