"So, what's your plan?" asked Leon with a cold look in his eyes…
'Damn, chill dude, I'm trying to help you out here' thought Yuki who was being stared at by such a cold look and understood why Leon has no friends before he ignored it and said
"I heard a little bit from Kayle about the different personalities of the other demon lords… And Milim Nava in particular drew my attention since she appears to be quite... childish"
Leon nodded in agreement before he warned Yuki seriously "Never say this in front of her or you will spell your doom"
"Thanks for the reminder… anyways, considering her level of power and her unrestrained personality, we could deduce that her territory is probably rich in magicules, and in turn, rich in magic cores… I think you can establish a good trade relation with her" said Yuki with a smile as he thought 'This could have been easily achieved if this guy was a little bit better at communicating with his fellow demons but he probably never found a need for this in the first place since he had enough supplies from the elves…'
As for how Yuki deduced this much, remembered how rich in natural resources the cave Veldora's sealed in and where Rimuru should be right now, all thanks to Veldora's leaking magicules...
"How are you going to convince Milim?" asked Leon who appeared to have liked the idea but Yuki didn't know that he was shocked 'This guy… it hadn't even been long since he arrived to this world and he already has some understanding about magic… is this why he can use that Dark shield?'
"Don't worry, first we need to attract her… just spread the word that you gained a new subordinate and that he defeated even someone like Claude and that I'm stronger than anyone of her followers… I'm sure she'd come running to our doors" said Yuki happily but Leon immediately glared at him and said "Do you want to kill us both?"
'Tch, I really wanted to see him get beaten up for making me work for my reward… smart bastard' thought Yuki whose heart was filled with evil intentions while his face still had the warm smile he learned from his neighbors
"Ahahaha of course not, we are both still young for death… How about this, ask her to come here and tempt her with some good food, I'm sure she would come right away"
Leon shot him a doubtful look and said "Are you sure?"
'Bitch you are a fucking character from a story, do not doubt me' thought Yuki before he said "Yup I'm sure, trust me Leon-chan, I'm going to make you rich!"
Leon's face twisted as if he ate a rotten apple when he heard the way Yuki called him and immediately disappeared without even saying goodbye…
"Tch, what an awkward guy... don't you think Sacha-chan" asked Yuki but he found Sacha staring at him weirdly which annoyed him so he stretched both her cheeks and said "I don't like this look one bit Sacha-chan, it seems like your mind needs some cleaning"
Sacha's face turned beet red for being figured out and she immediately ran away…
"Tch, now then what should I do… I don't know when will Milim arrive" thought Yuki who was unaware that his fame was already spreading throughout Eldorado and he already garnered the attention of an intel gatherer from Blumund who muttered
"Someone actually defeated the dark knight Claude? And he's only a newly summoned otherworlder, I need to confirm this information as soon as possible!" Thought the intel gatherer as he began using his connections to learn more of the truth…
…..
Meanwhile, after Leon left Yuki, he appeared in front of his head butler and ordered him to prepare a feast before he disappeared into a ray of light and headed towards Milim's domain…
In Milim's domain, her dragon faithful were worshiping her as always led by the head priest Middray…
"Milim-sama, here's our offering for today" Said one of the worshipers as he offered her a tray full of raw vegetables which brought a frown to Milim's face that startled the worshiper but after noticing his reaction, she smiled awkwardly and took a carrot from the tray and bit it reluctantly "T-thanks…"
The worshiper left happily while Milim laid there with a grumpy look on her face holding her tiny stomach that was grumbling "I'm hungry… I want delicious food…"
But suddenly, Middray who was sternly reciting prayers stopped and glanced at a place far away in the sky…
"What's wrong father?" asked his assistant Hermes and Middray frowned slightly and said "We've got a visitor, a dangerous one…"
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Milim also noticed the presence that was rapidly approaching and by the time she stood up from the flat rock she was lying on that wasn't much different than her chest, a ray of light suddenly landed in front of the entrance of her cave and transformed into the shape of Leon…
Middray immediately stepped in front of the other dragon faithful like an immovable rock to protect them and said "Demon lord Leon, what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?"
Leon stared at Middray seriously, he knew that he wasn't someone to easily be messed with since he could easily become a demon lord if he so wished, but he didn't bother with explanations and simply turned to Milim and said "You want food?"
Milim stared at him in surprise since she wasn't expecting in a million years that Leon would visit her, not to mention ask her this kind of question, and even the dragon faithful found the situation absurd as they began whispering to each other…
"Is this really demon lord Leon?"
"Did he hit his head on a bird while flying?" was the question on everybody's mind, but those strong enough could clearly sense the menacing presence of Leon and recognized his signature light magic…
"W-what are you talking about Leon, barging into this demon lord's territory!" said Milim while puffing out her chest to appear intimidating but Leon didn't understand her gesture and thought that she was rejecting him…"I see, Yuki's guess was wrong, you don't like delicious food… what a waste of a feast" muttered Leon as light begin shining around his body and he prepared to take off again but suddenly, his pupils shrunk slightly as Milim grabbed his hand at an unbelievable speed and started shaking it as she said while drooling "Did you just say delicious feast?"
Leon regained his composure after getting reminded of the power that a being at the top of the food chain had and nodded at her and Milim immediately said "Let's go!" before she took poor Leon by the hand all the way to Eldorado as dark lines appeared on his face 'Someone needs to be punished for this! Oh right, Claude and Alrose' thought Leon with a cold look on his as he suffered getting dragged by Milim through the continent…
….
While Yuki was concocting his evil plans happily… a meteor suddenly fell from the sky at the garden east of the palace creating a huge crater in it and completely destroying its ethereal beauty that Leon worked so hard to cultivate…
"My garden…" muttered Leon with a pained look on his face while Milim apologized with an awkward smile"Sorry… I was too excited and couldn't control my speed"
Leon's mouth opened and closed many times before he simply shook his head and dismissed the guards that arrived to check what happened and he led Milim to the dining room where the feast was held while thinking 'I hope this is going to be worth it...' but to further add insult to injury, he saw Yuki already sitting there and waiting for them
"Oh Leon-chan, you came just in time, the food is ready" said Yuki with a warm smile… how could he miss such a free meal that was made in honor of a demon lord, it was definitely better than any food he was given so far
"Who are you?" Asked Milim with a curious look on her face different from Leon's dark look and Yuki happily approached her and said "Oh you must be demon lord Milim, nice to meet you, I'm the one who asked Leon to invite you here for this feast, you can call me Yuki"
"Ohh, you actually knew of the greatness of this demon lord and prepared a feast in my honor fufufu not bad not bad Yuki" said Milim with a proud face
"Come come, enough talking, we have a free meal to enjoy" said Yuki as he grabbed Milim's hand and pulled her to the table leaving Leon alone feeling like a third wheel… 'Why's no one inviting me?' he thought before Yuki brought him from his thoughts saying
"Oy Leon-chan munch munch, you better hurry up or you won't be getting anything" said Yuki while devouring the food on the table like a black hole and Milim was the same as she had a huge grin on her face and her eyes were even tearing up slightly as she muttered
"Finally, some delicious food sniff sniff" but different from her cute appearance, she was devouring the food with no slower speed than Yuki's as Leon approached them while letting out a small sigh "Eat slowly, there's enough food" which made both their eyes light up as they stared at each other happily before they continued eating…
After everyone had their fill, Yuki and Milim rubbed their inflated stomachs with blissful expressions on their faces as the latter said "Woah that was delicious…" and Yuki immediately replied "Agreed"
"By the way, why did you invite me here?" Asked Milim absentmindedly which attracted Leon's attention as he waited patiently for Yuki to tell her about their plan of starting a cooperation between them, but he was shocked when Yuki simply let out a loud burp and said "Who cares, all that matters is that we had a nice meal"
"Umu, that's right, thanks Yuki" said Milim with a happy smile and she felt like she found a kindred spirit in Yuki, while Leon felt the complete opposite as he suddenly used a formless magic to smack Yuki in the head before he whispered in his ears "Don't forget our PLAN!"
Hearing that even while using his telepathy, Leon still sounded as if he was gritting his teeth, Yuki suddenly remembered their purpose and said to Milim "By the way Milim can I ask you for a favor?"
"Sure" replied Milim with a smile and Yuki immediately said "Can you sell some of the magic cores in your territory to Leon, I'm sure he has anything your followers might need to trade with you"
"Hmm, that's quite simple, I don't mind, just send someone to negotiate with Middray, he usually handles these matters" she said and Leon's face finally lit up as he nodded to his head butler to handle this matter
"Thanks, now do you want to have a walk around Eldorado to help us digest all this food" said Yuki before he whispered into Milim's ears "I'm sure we will find many places that sell other delicious food, and it's all free since Leon will pay"
Milim's eyes immediately lit up as she jumped up from her seat and said "Really?"
"I didn't…" Leon was about to deny this and say he didn't agree but Yuki simply ignored him and dragged Milim away with him "Of course, we are going to have round two!"
"Yaaay" Milim jumped happily and followed after Yuki...
'I should send this guy away from my territory before he drives me crazy' thought Leon but he had a faint smile on his face since their goal was achieved and he even got closer to one of the strongest demon lords… all thanks to Yuki!
