In the middle of the courtyard of Marquess Rommel’s residence, I stood in a small gazebo. This place, which was usually the center of activity for my family’s small afternoon tea party, was filled with monsters known as stealth slimes.

Their soft, slimy ball-like bodies made me want to vomit, but I was able to stop the disgust when my mind was filled with the powerful pressure of wild magic energy from the seven stealth slimes.

As I had previously wished, the seven stealth slime monsters gathered before me.

Ciel and Sia joined me in this emergency meeting. But they just standing without interrupt my actions to role-play something.

Imitating the emergency military instructions that my father and Earl Timoti had previously given, I tried hard to carry out an embarrassing role like a military official who focused on strategists and scenario designers for the stealth slime group.

The military uniform I was wearing was from Wilhemshaven Maritime High School.

It felt a bit inappropriate when the navy military uniform was worn to design land attack tactics for fighting stealth slime monsters.

I wanted to voice my opinion about it but my Goddess easily denied it like, "There’s no need to think about complicated things to show off cosplay art and do role-play after wearing a cosplay uniform!"

With that statement, I had to hold back my embarrassment to wear the Wilhemshaven Maritime High School cosplay uniform again. This time, my Goddess had adjusted the size of the cosplay uniform to fit my teenage girl body.

The appearance of the Victorian-era Maid girl had been replaced by the appearance of a military girl who looked tough and disciplined.

"Ekhem! Please... pay of this attention!" With a loud voice from my mouth, I stomped my hand on a table engraved with a topographic map of the dense forest that directly borders Marquess Rommel’s residence.

I got the topographic map from Earl Timoti who happily lent it to me when he learned about my plan to help the stealth slime monsters in taking their cave that was taken by the bear.

"I don’t know where you all are from, but please take a look at the topographic map that shows the layout of the forest that has become your home, if you can recognize the cave that is your nest... then please come forward and show me the location on this topographic map!" I ordered the seven stealth slimes lined up on the table.

Booinggg...

Boiinngg...

A tentacle suddenly emerged from one of the slimes and pointed out a place that looked like a plateau. On the topographic map, a plateau and a lowland were distinguished by their lines.

To read this topographic map, I needed to study it by comparing it to the actual terrain. My experience vacationing in a dense forest filled with various kinds of plants and animal habitats made me accustomed to reading topographic maps.

According to Earl Timoti, this topographic map had an accuracy level that was still at the tenth level. A level of map that had just been created and its accuracy was guaranteed by the Aurora Kingdom’s military.

While guarding the borders of Marquess Rommel’s territory and training his soldiers in the forest filled with monsters, Earl Timoti also went on an expedition into the forest to create an accurate topographic map.

"Is that the cave where you all live?" I asked the stealth slime monster and its slime tentacles wriggled as if answering my question.

I observed the contour of the land height and the demographics of the monsters.

The hidden cave area around the river was a humid area suitable as a habitat for slime monsters.

"Thank you for your contribution in providing information about the area where you all live, cadet. Next is to investigate your combat strength and the combat strength of the enemy you will face!"

"Are you capable of carrying out a simple task such as spying on the enemy from a distance and infiltrating your cave without being detected by your opponent?"

I played my role as a tough and cunning military girl according to my Goddess’s instructions. As the Mastermind who organized the stealth slime troop’s attack, I had to stay where I was without leaving to kill the bear that inhabited their cave during the winter.

Because I had been reading the magic book left behind by one of the Great Heroes who had extraordinary charisma and was famous as a villain who could not be judged by common sense for too long, I at least had a rough idea of ??the figure my Goddess referred to as the Mastermind.

I immediately sat down on one of the gazebo chairs and crossed my legs.

Puuuffttt...

Far behind me, I could see my family and some honored guests sitting and watching me, they are shocked by my actions which seemed arrogant in their eyes. My presence in the stealth slimes had made them keep their distance so as not to get involved with the actions I was about to take.

My father and mother seemed indifferent to this. However, Earl Timoti continued to stare at me with a gaze that did not want to blink for a single second.

Boinngg...

Booiingg...

One of the seven stealth slimes that had a high level of magical energy stepped in front of me. The stealth slime formed itself into a figure that looked like a bear with thick scales and formed another monster that looked like a bear with three horns on it.

"Thick-scaled bear..."

"Three-horned bear..."

I muttered as I watched the stealth slime form its body and gave me a rough idea of ??the fighting strength that the stealth slime would face.

"Golden-crowned bear..."

"Eh, wait a minute! Golden-crowned bear?" I was shocked when I saw one of the rough forms of a golden crown bear.

If my knowledge of monsters from the monster encyclopedia published by the Adventurer’s Guild is not wrong. It is one of the rare monsters that is hard to find and has a high price when its body parts are sold on the auction market.

Looking at the composition of the bear.

I can conclude one thing.

It is not an ordinary bear monster but a colony led by a bear monster with a high level of intelligence.

The name of the bear monster with golden horns varies from region to region. Some adventurers use the term King or Emperor for its classification. If the main strength of the bear monster comes from pure physical strength, then it is categorized as a "Golden King Bear". However, if the classification of their main strength comes from the power of wild magic energy, then it has become a "Golden Emperor Bear".

The two monsters who are the leaders of the group are very terrifying.

On the largest scale alone, the Bizan Empire once deployed its main royal army to eradicate a group of bear monsters led by the Golden Emperor Bear.

"Seeing their fighting strength that leans more towards physical, I can conclude that their leader is the Golden King Bear."

"However, this information could be wrong and will take time to prove."

"Can you sneak into the cave and confirm their main strength?"

I asked the seven stealth slimes who understood every word I said.

Boiing...

Boiinngg...

Their bodies moved up and down as if they wanted to discuss something.

Their bodies that looked chewy and thickly slimy almost made my mouth vomit again.

I was not used to seeing slime monsters up close like this.

Although their bodies did not emit a bad smell, their body shape made me almost vomit many times.

Suppressing my stomach I was slowly getting nauseous, I tried to act normally in this ongoing role-play.

Honestly, I was no longer able to act calmly without showing an expression like this.

I wanted to go and observe their fight from a distance without feeling nauseous like this.

Suddenly my mind was filled with cunning tactics that would keep the stealth slimes busy for a while.

"Cadets, it seems we have no other choice!" I said in a loud voice.

"Answer my question, does the cave you are occupying have a water channel so that stupid bears like that can survive without thirst inside the cave?" I asked, looking for an excuse to chase them away for the time being.

Booinngg...

Booiingg...

The seven stealth slimes moved with the same rhythm in their ups and downs as if answering the same answer.

"Should I assume that is a positive answer?" I asked to confirm the answers of the seven stealth slimes.

Their slime body movements were supported by other slimes who seemed to want to give me a positive answer about it.

"Can you infiltrate through the water channel that flows into your cave?" a subtle question that could chase them away for the time being had come out of my mouth.

"Do that so that information about their main strength can be known for sure!" I shouted to suppress their movement so that they would infiltrate and bring definite results from the spying activity.

Booinngg...

Boiingg...

Responding to my shout that gave an order, I could see the seven stealth slimes moving back and arranging a line that was spread out in seven directions.

The gazebo located in the courtyard of Marquess Rommel’s garden slowly looked peace after several stealth slimes left to carry out infiltration and spy activities.

I immediately stood up and gave them a salute by raising my hand on my forehead.

"Carry out this noble task, my cadets! And bring back good news!" I shouted to see them off to carry out the task I gave.

As if responding to the task I gave to all the stealth slimes, their slime bodies formed tentacles that waved as if returning my salute to all the stealth slimes.

[ Oh! I didn’t know they had this level of intelligence. ]

[ If only I had the intervention to form a new slime species. Maybe I would have formed their bodies into slime girls that could be controlled by the Yurification System. ]

Hearing the disgusting intention of my Goddess like that, my body immediately shook with rejection.

"Don’t do that!" I threatened my Goddess.
