>>6097540With a movement of your hand and a use of your completely full mana reserves, a small mist shoots at the grumpy man. He hisses, much like a cat would, before complying, “Fine, whatever you spoiled, princess,” “Hmph,” You cross your arms, “Less happened than you would think, handed Saori off to Inquisitor Beneger,” He loses eye contact as he says the Inquisitor’s name, “Then I was told to give Johann a phone call, don’t worry what that is, and gave the order to have him extracted.”
“That wasn’t very specific, even Alyssa told me more.”
You hear a mumble about being too tired and a few curses, but eventually, he relents, “I used strangetech to communicate with Johann. Learned that he was frequently visited by an Inquisitor under the pseudonym ‘Rabbit,’ who we quickly identified as Abram. Turns out he’s turned traitor. He was having Johann produce items that we never cleared for use and he never documented, most items the caputred Strangers and rioters had. So we’re pretty sure he’s with the coup attempt. Kinda Strange since Abram is vocal about supporting the Radical faction, but it is what it is,” Asher practically spits out the last part. He’s not very good at hiding when something bothers him, “I told Johann to hang tight and pretend everything was normal as we send a train up to get him. I’m going to personally get on that train and make sure Abram or another Inquisitor doesn’t deal with him as he’s taken to safety. I’ll be out of the city for a few days because of that, we’re using your new traincar hope you don’t mind.”
“What? Why wasn’t that brought to me?!”
“You were a bit too sleepy when it happened,” You blush a bit at the logical excuse, “And technically, it’s the Royal Familie’s train, so the king’s train, not yours.”
You don’t let your annoyance show, not at all, “And what about the slave crest put on Tamlin? Why was that used?”
He clicks his tongue, “Heard about that?” His sideye at Alyssa isn’t subtle, even in the dark, shockingly she reacts. A small frown decorates her face, “That was Inquisitor Beneger’s decision. He’s taken up her training so Goddess have mercy on her soul. Anything else, princess?”
“No, it was a decent enough explanation. Worthy of half-marks, in my opinion,” “What, why?!” “Anyway, Marie, what about you?”
“You know your world’s crazy, Lori?” You look at her, confused, “I talked to a slime today, and actual slime,” She says like it’s a normal thing, even if she gives off the impression it’s anything but. Which isn’t that weird, slimes can’t usually talk, “Apparently, slimes are just a thing that exist in this world, actual Dragon Quest style slimes.”
“Huh, of course they exist. They’re common monsters. Does Earth not have them?”
