The sudden appearance of the Tarot empire’s legation at the Grandaria kingdom’s capital shocked everyone. Without any process of construction, the building just popped up from nowhere as if it got summoned by the heavens.

“We’ve made them owe us. made them acknowledge our empire. And made them permit us to make our legation in their kingdom. What’s next-” A skinny man with pointed ears and a pretty face that obviously showed that he’s an elf. He about to make a conversation with his weird boss that always looked like he’s about to do a mischievous thing, but that weird boss of his is putting his index finger in front of his mouth, giving him a sign to stay silent.

They’re sitting at the office room of the Tarot empire’s legation that had just been made a couple of hours before. Slime Tarot continues to drink his coffee at his office’s desk as he enjoys the quiet night. But on the other side, the skinny elf is thinking hard whether he made a mistake or something to that weird boss of his.

But despite his weirdness and mysterious identity, the skinny elf fully knows how smart and strong his boss is.

(Well, everyone in the empire that possesses a position is full with strong and smart people, though) (Skinny Elf)

“So? Until when will you stand there, mister shadow?” Slime Tarot suddenly spoke.

!!??

There are two people that are currently surprised, the skinny elf and the one who is hiding at the shadows. As an imperial soldier of the empire, he’s confident with his strength. But yet, he didn’t realize and hasn’t sensed the presence of the intruder yet.

And for the shadow, the fact that he got busted is enough to make his back sweats as he’s confident with his stealth.

“Hm… To avoid misunderstanding, this is not a bluff. Well, as a proof,” (Slime Tarot)

Thud!

A card flew towards a wall and slightly pierced it. The force is controlled enough to make sure the card will get stuck on the wall while minimizing the damages to the office’s wall.

“Will you show up now, mister?” Said Slime with a smile.

“Fine, fine, you win. Damn, I never thought I will get caught this easy,” Alfred appear from the shadows and said with a shrug.

“How dare you sneak inside the legation of the great empire,” The skinny elf said sinisterly as he unsheathes his sword.

“Stop it, Aquila. Don’t make too much noise. I don’t want the others to come inside the office too and cause a ruckus,” (Slime Tarot)

“But general-” (Aquila)

“It’s fine. You guys are not a match for him, anyway. The most you guys could do is maybe slightly injure him, but still, he could flee whenever he wants to. And more importantly, he came here just to evaluate me, am I wrong?” (Slime Tarot)

Alfred couldn’t help but sighs as his moves and his plans got by Slime in such a short time, it’s been so long since someone ever does that to him.

(This frustration, only Ren managed to make feel this way. To think there will be another person that could checkmate me like this…) (Alfred)

“You’re exactly right. Well, I’m not sure with the part where I could fight with that mister Elf over there, but I’m sure that I won’t be able to do anything if I were to fight against you,” Alfred said frankly as he pulled the card from the wall.

(A card, this is… 2?) (Alfred)

“Such a flatter, you don’t come here only to flatter me, do you? Tell me, what answer are you searching for, I’ll answer any questions that you want but only the ones that I could answer,” (Slime Tarot)

“G-general! Not capturing him is already troubling, giving him information about us is too much!” (Aquila)

“It’s fine. Sooner or later the questions he’ll ask us will be answered anyway. So? Tell me, assassin. What answer do you seek?” (Slime Tarot)

Even though Alfred likes to manipulate his enemies with his suggestions and blackmails. But when Alfred stare at Slime’s eyes, Alfred felt uncomfortable as he felt like he’s the one getting manipulated.

(How much do he guess?) (Alfred)

“Hm… Not all, maybe three-quarters of your questions?” Slime said with a smile.

“Y-you… How could you read my mind?” The smile at Alfred’s face disappears as he starts to get annoyed.

“I’m not reading your thoughts, I’m reading your expression. It’s as easy as reading the card inside your pant’s pocket,” (Slime Tarot)

!!??

Alfred immediately put his hand inside his pocket, and he could feel that a card is inside it. Alfred pulls the card out and sees that this time, number 3 is imprinted on the golden card.

(Since when did he put this… Wait, where do I see this card before…?) (Alfred)

“The time is moving, quickly tell me your questions. You only have your chance to answer until the number 5 card appear at your body,” (Slime Tarot)

“….Fine, who are you? What exactly is the Tarot empire? What are you aiming for? What is the huge tree inside your empire? How could it appear?” (Alfred)

“Hm… Quite a lot of questions you’re asking, but well, I’ll still answer it. Who am I? I am the ambassador and the acting consul of the Tarot empire legation at the same time. Tarot empire is an empire that rules several races under our banner, you could say that we’re the ruler of the Everdeen magical forest,” (Slime)

“How the races could live in harmony with each other is all because of our great emperor’s effort, our aim is to eliminate our enemies and our future enemies in order to protect our peace,” (Slime)

“The huge tree is called the divine world tree, Yggdrasil. How it could get summoned is a secret that only the emperor and the kings of the Tarot empire that know. I’ve answered all your questions, right?” Said Slime with a smile.

Technically speaking, Slime Tarot had answered all of Alfred’s question. But his answers are not what Alfred seek, Slime Tarot is purposely giving out the safest answer for his country. He answers all of the questions and avoiding them at the same time.

“Who is-” Before Alfred could give another question, Slime cut his sentence.

“Before you ask, can you give me back the card you’re holding?” (Slime)

!!??

(Again?) (Alfred)

Alfred looked at his right hand and he finally realizes that he’s holding a card, and number 4 is imprinted on it. Alfred threw the card to Slime Tarot with his full power in annoyance, but yet Slime captured it in ease.

Alfred is sure that he had tried to watch carefully every move that Slime made, but he still doesn’t realize when Slime put the card at his hand and moreover made his hand hold the card.

(Shit. I completely fell to his pace…) (Alfred)

“So? What’s your next question?” (Slime)

Alfred’s mind got into a disorder because as he tried to focus on Slime’s movement, he couldn’t think of any other questions that could benefit the Grandaria kingdom. But if he focuses on thinking about a question, he’s afraid that he might miss Slime’s movement and feel humiliated again.

“W-what is your real purpose by coming to our kingdom?” Said Alfred as he could only think that question.

“Hm… If I say I want to conquer this kingdom, what could you do?” Asked Slime with a provocative smile.

(T-this bastard…) (Alfred)

Alfred’s right hand immediately went to the knife sheathed at his hip, but rather than his knife’s hilt, he felt a sensation of a small and thin thing that he is quite familiar with.

(D-don’t tell me…) (Alfred)

Alfred draws the thing, and it turns out it is a golden card with a number 5 imprinted on it.

“Well, don’t get too serious. The reason I come here is… Hm… To protect someone?” Slime said with a smile. Somehow, Alfred is sure that what Slime just said is sincere even though he doesn’t have any proof.

“To protect someone?” (Alfred)

“Well, since you had already seen the number 5 card, the question session is over. It’s time for you to go out from here before more trouble appear,” (Slime Tarot)

“What? Wait-” Before Alfred could ask another question, Slime flicked his desk softly, and the scenery that Alfred saw suddenly changed. He’s in front of the gate of the royal capital.

“F-forced teleportation?” (Alfred)
