“I see… So that’s what happened, huh…” Muttered the old man Kyron.

“Yes, and here I am, a part of his clone that possessed the most similarities with him. Confusing, isn’t it?” Said Slime with a shrug.

“Indeed…” The old man Kyron muttered as his gaze went distant. He seems to be sorting out a load of information Slime just told him.

(Lucky that the old man didn’t lose himself when he saw you before, master…) (Reo)

(True…) (Slime)

********************************

—A few minutes before—

(Y-you are… Impossible!!) (The old man Kyron)

Slime quickly grasped that the old man Kyron had realized his real identity from his mana. It’s not unexpected, rather, Slime is very glad that the old man Kyron realized his real identity in such a short time instead. But-

The only one that allowed to know his real identity is the old guardian alone.

“The information you just knew is highly classified, sir old guardian. We might need to discuss it in another place,” Said Slime politely. He changed the term of ‘Old Man’ into ‘Sir old guardian”.

(S-so it means it’s true?) (The old man Kyron)

“I-I see… Well indeed, then I guess we need to wait until we arrived at our house. Luckily, we won’t need to clean up the corpses of those bastards thanks to you,” answered the old man Kyron as he nods. The old man Kyron understands the meaning behind Slime’s words. There must be a reason why he’s hiding his identity without revealing it to anyone, even Sera and co.

And there is also the fact that the name of Ren Arken had been labeled as a demon worshiper. The old man Kyron thought that he will face even more danger if his identity got revealed here. And it seems that he is the only one that allowed to know his real identity.

(For these three years, how have you been, Ren? What kind of things had you been through? And even though this kingdom and I had failed you and soiled your name, you still fulfilled your promise and protect this kingdom and the princess…) (The Old Man Kyron)

Slime noticed that the old man Kyron’s eyes showed an emotional expression as he stared at him. Slime could feel his heart enveloped with warmth when he saw the old man Kyron’s expression.

(Nice to meet you again, old man) (Slime)

*Sob!* *Sob!*

(What a touching reunion! *Sob!* *Sob!*) (Fenrir)

(You’re ruining the moment, though) (Reo)

(Shut up!! Try to look at a mirror you stupid cat!! You’re crying way more dramatically than me!!) (Fenrir)

(What can I do? It’s too sad..) (Reo)

Slime smiled as he hearts the conversation inside his head.

(Shut it, both of you. You’ll make me drop a tear too) (Slime)

(HWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! MASTERRR!!!!!!!!!) (Fenrir)

(HEY! SHUT UP!!!!!) (Slime)

***************************************

*Slurp!*

Slime takes a sip of the hot tea Elena made for the old man Kyron and him. As soon as they arrived at the house, the old man Kyron told Elena, Sera, and Nash that he has a business with Slime. The both of them entered the old man Kyron’s room and have their conversation there.

After Elena delivered the tea for the both of them, Slime cast a spell at the room that will block any eavesdropping before telling the whole story to the old man Kyron.

“So your real body is in an unconscious state for these three years, and it all happened because of the battle against the 10,000 demons?” Asked the old man Kyron.

“Precisely,” (Slime)

“And none of you knew the answer and how to cure it? But how could you, clones of Ren still fine when your real body is in such a state?” (The old man Kyron)

“Since my real body had no limiters on its mana, clones like us didn’t get unsummoned because of the lack of mana source. And since each of us has our own mana cultivation in our body, we could still exist even if the mana source from the real body got hindered. In other words, we will only disappear if our real body unsummoned us himself,” Explained Slime.

“What an outrageous ability…” Commented the old man Kyron.

“Well, I can’t deny that,” Said Slime with a shrug.

“But seriously, except for your appearance, everything about you is identical to the real Ren,” Said the old man Kyron as he stared at the white-haired Slime in front of him.

“Well, I am a part of the Slime clone. It seems that he makes sure to make me have the original personality of the real Ren Arken. Complicated indeed,” (Slime)

“True. And to add that you are the emperor of that famous Tarot empire, I guess nothing would make even make me surprised anymore,” Said the old man Kyron with a wry smile.

“No comment. But old man, the reason I came here for you is about my empire,” (Slime)

“I’m all ears, young man,” Said the old man as he took a sip of his tea.

“I believe that you and the kids will love my empire, old man. Will you join my empire?” (Slime)

The old man Kyron opened his eyes wide in surprise because of Slime’s unexpected question. 

“That’s a rather unexpected offer,” Commented the old man Kyron.

“What makes you offer me that?” (The old man Kyron)

“Hm… The first thing is, of course, your strength is more than enough to strengthen our empire. And I heard a rumor that the old guardian had separated himself from the Grandaria kingdom,” (Slime)

“Seems like you don’t miss a single thing,” (The old man Kyron)

“And you and the kids are in danger. All sides will try whatever it takes to have you join forces with them, even if they need to take the kids as hostages,” Slime’s expression turns grim.

“……..Indeed… But how about the Tarot empire? Won’t you do the same thing if I refused?” Asked the old man Kyron.

“Are seriously asking me that question, old man?” (Slime)

“Hahahahaha! Well, your words are not wrong. In fact, I was thinking about where we should go since I also knew that the brats are not safe here. Even though they had grown rather strong, but I don’t want any of them to face any hardship,” (The old man Kyron)

“Well, I’ll be enrolling those kids at our capital’s magic academy if you allow it. They have a lot of potential in themselves. I’ll be very happy if you accept my offer, old man. And I believe you and the kids will be very happy there,” Said Slime.

“That might be a good idea. Fine, I accept your offer, Ren!” The old man Kyron said with a huge smile.

“Are you sure? I thought that it will be much harder to convince you, though,” (Slime)

“Well, I’ve done more than I promised. So I have no obligation to stay in this kingdom any longer. And despite the heroic deed you’ve done, the kingdom blindly follows the church’s words and label you as a heretic. I have no business in a kingdom that soiled my successor’s name,” (The old man Kyron)

“Old man!” Slime is very delighted by the old man Kyron’s positive response.

“But, how about Sera?” Slime mentioned the only reason why the old man Kyron hasn’t left this kingdom yet.

“Hmph! If she has you around her, I believe that not even the demons could touch her,” The old man Kyron said confidently.

“I never said that I’ll protect her, you know? I don’t have any obligations to do it,” (Slime)

“You do have,” (Old man Kyron)

“Hm?” (Slime)

“You’re my successor. So it means that you’ll inherit everything in my possession, even my will. And that’s included the promise of protecting her, and I know you won’t say no towards this old guy’s request, will you?” The old man Kyron said with full of confidence. He’s confident that Slime will not deny his words.

(You’re such a kind-hearted man, after all) (Old man Kyron)

“You wicked old bones… But well, I guess you really do know me well, old man…” (Slime)

The both of them conversed for a long time, it’s already night when they realized. Sera, Elena, and the kids didn’t dare to recklessly enter the old man Kyron’s room. So they waited, while Sera and Elena in another hand wondered just what kind of conversation the old man Kyron is having together with Slime that made them didn’t leave the old man Kyron’s room for hours.

(Just how could that guy get to grandpa’s good side so quickly while even princes and nobles from numerous places came and paid no heed by grandpa…?) (Sera)
