"Isn't that a big problem, Lily-sama?" Mio whispered after seeing me do something so extreme.

Slashing Aiko's body and smashing her body to pieces seemed like a bit too much.

"It's okay, they already know that I'm disgusted by their slime fluid. But they still do such disgusting things. If their behavior isn't corrected soon, it will continue," I replied softly in a whisper that answered Mio's question.

Bluurrppp...

Blluurrrpppp...

Aiko's shattered body looked like it was trying to grow back.

I deliberately attacked only her shattered body without damaging her magic core so that it could regenerate.

It would take at least three days before Aiko could recover and move freely.

For the time being, the leadership of the stealth slime herd around me was taken over by Sirius.

With my relaxed footsteps, I approached Sirius who was still in her slimeball form, and gave her a mandate to take over the leadership of this stealth slime herd from Aiko.

"Sirius, you will take responsibility for your previous mistakes, right?" I asked with a cold gaze at her.

Sirius' slimeball body trembled and showed that she was scared after getting my angry with her.

I deliberately stayed silent in front of Sirius and watched her disgusting slimeball body. With the small vibrations from her slimeball body that wanted to say something, I could only hear her small voice that was almost crying.

"I-I will take responsibility for this," said Sirius with her slimeball body shaking in fear.

It seems that I was too excessive in giving punishment which made Sirius bear two big responsibilities like this.

While I was scolding Sirius and giving punishment like this, I also heard anger from Aiko who could not accept if she was punished as the leader of the herd who could not manage her herd to cause a small incident like this.

"I hope this is my last warning to you who already know how disgusting your slimeball bodies are, right?"

"Even you have admitted that you are disgusting..."

"If something like this happens one more time, I will terminate the Soul Tame contract and leave you all."

With my cold words that sounded serious, I gave a small warning to the entire herd of stealth slimes in the Soul Tame communication network about this incident.

The response given by them was only obedience and fear of being abandoned by me.

Even Aiko who was scolding Sirius earlier could not say anything about this.

"I hope this is the last time for you to show disgusting slime in front of my own eyes," with these last words, I gave a magical energy pressure that seemed to strangle their slimeball bodies.

Along with my slightly rising and falling anger emotions because of remembering the disgusting incident, I tried not to lose control and drew the cursed Odachi that was currently in my grip.

"..."

Pooorr...

Spllasshh...

With gentle hand movements, Mio seemed to be cleaning my hair that had been exposed to Sirius' disgusting slime.

"This place is too dark to clean your hair, Lily-sama," said Mio who roughly groped my hair with a handkerchief that had been moistened with her drinking water supply.

"You're wasting your drinking water supply just to rinse my hair from that disgusting slime, Mio," I said to stop Mio's actions that felt like a waste like this.

My long hair felt a little sticky and damp now, it felt uncomfortable to move.

My changing mood made me want to calm my little anger towards the stealth slime named Sirius.

Taking a small breath to calm down, I tried to control my unstable emotions along with feeling the gentle movements of Mio's hands that were cleaning my hair from the disgusting slime mucus.

"Do your job well, Sirius."

"That way, you will have a chance to apologize to me personally."

The words I gave felt very cold and my footsteps immediately went towards my horse that was left standing in fear in the dimly lit mine like this.

Just a few steps away from us, a room that had become the meeting point with Earl Timoti would soon be visible.

I, who felt a little calmer after being consumed by emotions earlier only said a few words to Momo.

"Sorry for using you to carry out a light execution on Aiko," I said to Momo who seemed indifferent after being used for such an unimportant thing.

"No problem, my Monarch. It was an important decision to discipline them harshly and severely. Without such a severe punishment, they would act rudely by exploding their disgusting bodies like that," replied Momo who seemed to know the disgusting feeling of a slime with their slimy body.

"If I may be honest, the Goddess of Destruction also doesn't like the slime body that is disgusting like that. The Goddess of Destruction also once did something crazy by destroying a slime lineage that had disgusting slime with its giant body but was stopped by the Goddess who had regulated the lives of monsters in the wild," continued Momo's words which made me a little surprised about my similarity with the Goddess of Destruction who also disliked the disgusting slime body.

By pulling my horse's leash, I tried to stay calm and control my emotions so that they would not get worse after what happened earlier.

Taakkk...

Taaakkk...

The sound of our horse's footsteps echoing in the mine made the herd of stealth slimes around me fall silent. Their body movements seemed to be unenthusiastic after receiving the threat I had given them.

If it weren't for Sirius' mistake, I wouldn't have done something so crazy with a harsh punishment that tested their loyalty.

Even in the silence of our footsteps heading to one of the iron mine rooms, I heard Aiko trying to get her herd of stealth slimes cheers up again.

Her body which was still in pieces seemed to give her encouragement to do something that would not disappoint me again.

I was quite touched when I heard it but it also had to be proven by their actions trying to cover up my disappointment with their maximum work performance.

At this point, I let Aiko take care of this chaotic situation and watched what Sirius could do with her responsibility that was able to get herself a chance to apologize to me.

This punishment might sound quite cruel and harsh to them. But it would make them realize my disgust that was not easily removed by such disgusting slime.

Taaakkk...

Taaakkk...

Our footsteps had arrived at a room filled with small tents belonging to Earl Timoti's troops and his presence seemed to be looking around warily.

The echoing sound of our horse's hooves seemed to have gotten his little attention to pay attention to the source of the sound in front of him.

Because the lighting in the iron mine was limited and we were still in the dim part, it made Earl Timoti held the hilt of his sword to prepare to attack if we were enemies trying to enter his territory from inside the mine.

When our footsteps brought us to the bright light.

The silhouette of my face that was hit by the light had made Earl Timoti calmer.

"Lily-sama, I have been waiting for your arrival," said Earl Timoti while bowing his body like a noble welcoming another noble who was visiting the territory.

"Earl Timoti, you were waiting for me with this many troops?" I replied with a small nod to Sirius to carry out her duties as the leader of the stealth slimes who were on duty around me.

Before their stealth slime bodies were hit by the light of the magic stone used by Earl Timoti as a light source in the iron mine, they seemed to have done something to not step into the light and waited for instructions given by Sirius as Aiko's replacement.

Sirius who was not used to this immediately asked Aiko for advice on what she should do.

Aiko quickly gave advice that made Sirius take the right step to not step into the reflection of the magic stone light.

"I have to bring this many troops because of the heated situation in the Aurora Kingdom Capital, Lily-sama," replied Earl Timoti who seemed to have a lot to talk about in this short time.

Using a small code of his raised hand, several tents that had been standing were removed.

"Another conflict between nobles?" I asked with a guess.

"You could say that, Lily-sama. But this time with some actors who are starting to get bold enough to enter the conflict at a young age," replied Earl Timoti with a face that looked like he wanted to say something that made me curious.

"Let me guess, a twin boy who likes to tease women and a twin daughter who seems a bit unique with her knowledge," I said to guess that the source of this problem started from the reincarnators that my Goddess herself had sent.

Oh, my Goddess, how sinful you are when such a small mistake caused a kingdom to get into such a complex political problem.

"It seems you already know something about this, Lily-sama."

"Of course, I found out after several noble families around my residence entered the opposition faction. Even a fool would know that something had happened in the politics of the Aurora Kingdom."

"I can't deny it with such obvious signs huh," while saying such a thing, Earl Timoti scratched his cheek.

"Leaving aside political problems that have nothing to do with a neutral noble family like me. Have you heard from my father about why I need to enter Earl Timoti's territory who is in the faction that supports the royal family like this?" I asked to make sure that Earl Timoti knew our intention to use the river in his territory that was connected to the river flowing into the territory of the opposition nobles.

"I at least know one or two things, but for more precise information. I won't sniff too deeply into this matter," replied Earl Timoti who didn't want to get involved with our little preparation if the opposition faction did something to the neutral Marquess Rommel family.

"After all, precautions should be taken after seeing the approaching danger, right?" continued Earl Timoti's words which sounded like he supported the decision of the Marquess Rommel family to sabotage the river flowing into the territory of the opposition nobles.

"I'm glad you understand about such a simple thing, Earl Timoti," I gave a small smile to Earl Timoti after his troops had packed up to leave with us who were guiding them to his territory.

"Thank you for your trust in the Earl Timoti family, Lily-sama. From now on, please wear our military uniform to blend in with the others," along with Earl Timoti's words, I saw a woman standing beside Earl Timoti while carrying the military uniform of Earl Timoti's territory.

Does this mean that I will be a military girl serving in Earl Timoti's territory for the time being?
