Chapter 40 - 3 Star Audience

Somewhere at Dragon's Peak, four True Dragon Lords circle around an area. Out of nowhere someone with silver blue hair and approached what was surrounded by the four true dragon lords

Rimuru: Hey! How are things going?

Zuko: It's you again

Rimuru: Yup! I figured he would be done naming by now. Where is he?

Toph: right over here

What was surrounded by the four was a form in between slime and human in the middle of spasing out

Kaijuno:. . .

Rimuru:. . . Kaiju-

Kaijuno: ahsbdhiesovjfjsajsofoqpqadjejqaoskwjqjqajskswowkdnewjogoiffkdnenwsosowkqjaaksisowkwnwnwjwejeiddaaaqaddee!

Rimuru:. . . Are you done being a drama queen?

Kaijuno:. . .

Rimuru: what if I said that Cameilla had finally perfected that dish you showed to be introduced at the founder's festival?

Kaijuno: !!! Woohoo! What are we waiting for! Let's get going!

Rimuru: (instant recovery!)

Rimuru: Hold on! You're not finished with this yet

Kaijuno: akashdejefofosmaaks WHAT!?

Rimuru: we still need to figure out who will be brought to Tempest

Kaijuno: . . . Yeah, this is kinda of a lot to bring huh?

Rimuru: yep

Kaijuno: hm, how about the four true dragon lords for some floor bosses in the lower floors. Some dragon lords for some higher floor bosses. And we can just have arch and medium dragons sprinkled here and there 

Rimuru: What about the rest?

Kaijuno:eh. . . Listen all of you! While some are taken else where, the rest of you shall guard these lands from any outsider!

Dragons: Hai!

Veldora's Pov

Veldora: sksfhbejsslaamaajajajaJajsjfahzjajsjsNanasjsjsjdjdsjsjajajffbrbedjxdjwnwjssjsAaaisjsahajaANSSJSHSKZJswekdkdskskwkwje!!!!!!!

Kaijuno's Pov

After picking out who specifically will come, we transported back to Tempest, dropping off each dragon in their selective area in the Labyrinth 

Kaijuno: Hey rimuru

Rimuru: Yeah?

Kaijuno: Ya remember Murax, the magic beast from the lake?

Rimuru: You mean the one who produces our sarasa supplies? What about him?

Kaijuno: Do you think he can be a floor boss?

Rimuru: I'm not to sure about that, especially with what his tentacles are capable of

Kaijuno: I figured maybe thay might be the case but should we at last keep him on reserves in case if needed? What do you think?

Rimuru: (Raphael, what should I say about doing something with no intent on doing it?)

Raphael:(You'll think about it)

Rimuru: Kaijuno, I'll think about it

Kaijuno: Also is it true that Cameilla finally made the dish?

Rimuru: Yeah, she has a bowl ready and everything

Kaijuno: YEEES!!!!!!!

With the founder's festival coming up new dishes were being made in celebration of the event like burger and pizza. Rimuru's choice of the matter is ramen while Veldora's is takoyaki. A great choices I'd personally say but for my own choice is something far more glorious 

For my choice it is...

MAC & CHEESE!!!

A sea of golden arches, ooey gooey textures to devour, breathe taking flavor of cheese that makes you salivate. Nothing more fitting for a ruler than the golden pasta

Truly, eating this would make anyone feel like a king of kings

Kaijuno: (So good! It's been too long since I had this. It's just like mo-. . . it's just as good as I remembered it. Macaroni and cheese in another world, my life is complete!)

Kaijuno: So has Benjamin came back from his expedition to the tengu tribe?

Rimuru: Yeah, he came back a few days ago

Kaijuno: How did things went?

Rimuru: Seemed to have went well although he looked miserable when he came back

Kaijuno:(hehe)

Rimuru: It's looking like you will be talking more with the tengu along with the rest our forest neighbors 

Kaijuno: What do you mean talk?

Rimuru: As the new demon lord we had arrangements made for the tribes within the forest to meet you as the highest ruler. It's one of the reasons why we're holding this festival 

Kaijuno: (*groan* I seriously have to do this!? *grooooaaaaaaaaaan* I don't wanna)

Yagami:(Notice, You don't really have much of a choice here)

Kaijuno:(. . . . . . Well I guess it's not gonna change whether or not I complain about it)

Kaijuno: oh alright, who are the tribes?

Rimuru: All of the locals like the halflings, merfolks, lizardmens, gozus, mezus, etc. 

Kaijuno: It's not gonna be a long list right? RIGHT!?

Rimuru: It is pretty long infact. You'll be expected to do it for a few days

Kaijuno: . . .

Rimuru:. . .

Kaijuno: . . . SodvwhsajzhahwjJOaaja-

*Couple of days later*

Kaijuno Pov

Kaijuno: So this is the crowd? Kinda a lot

Benjamin: Well it's to be expected that none of the tribes would skip from introducing themselves to their new ruling demon lord

Cameilla: To begin introductions, we shall start with the wolffolk tribe

That day was beginning of my formal introduction to the rest of the Jura forest tribes. I was in a tall muscular form to fit into the more intimadating demon lord look, I would've felt awkward and out of place in my usual teeny build. I was also sitting on my kingly demon lord throne that the dwarf brothers conveniently made right before so I had an awesome chair to do cool sitting poses on. There were species that I didn't even knew existed within the forest like pandafolks and turtlefolks

I also saw some familiar people like the lizardmen's chieftain Sabat who I had chatted Dovakin later in hopes of starting reconciliation. Unfortunately, Dovakin had to be a moron and gotten drunk in the middle of it. Thankfully they arranged to talk again at a later date so their is still hope for the father to forgive his traitorous son

The dryads also asked for my permission to serve under Ramiris. I found it quite odd since I didn't view them as subordinates but more vaguely like associates but I assume it's better to stick to formalities in these types of settings. I just led them to the Labyrinth and told them she's in there.

I didn't escorted them myself since I didn't want to have ramiris within my line of sight nor do I want to be within her sight either. I may have no shame taking advantage of my association with her but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna avoid her as if there is a restraining order between us

There was also one specific interaction I took note of

Rabbit Chieftain: Oh great demon lord Kaijuno-Sama, please accept us rabbitfolks as your humble servants

Kaijuno: No need to stiffen yourself. I'm not someone who would just become aggressive for no apparent reason

Rabbit Chieftain: Y-yes! In truth, I wanted to bring my daughter along in this introduction as well but we lost her in this city's complex crowd

Kaijuno: If you're concerned, I'm sure our local officers can keep a look out for any lost people. Any description to keep note of?

Rabbit Chieftain: O-of course! She's a young lady who shares my brown hair. And she's specifically a straight ear rabbitman, not a floppy ear rabbitman. Also she is a named one, her name is Framea

Kaijuno:(A young rabbitman lady with brown hair? It sounds familiar but I can't quite reach the mark. Yagami, is there any character that fits that description?)

Yagami:(Affirmative, Individual Framea is the protagonist of the official spin off "The Way of the Monster Nation")

Kaijuno:(. . . OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-)

Kaijuno: OOOH! YOU'RE HER FATHER!?

Everyone:. . .

Kaijuno:( Uh oh! I said that out loud. Everyone is giving me weird stares now. Activate Mikael!)

Yagami:(Humility King Mikael Activated)

Cameilla: Kaijuno-Sama? Have heard of this Framea previously?

Kaijuno: Of course! I have heard of her, it's nothing farfetched at all!

Napoleon: Really?

Kaijuno: Exactly! I mean, who hasn't heard of Framea theeeeeee Stellar Intelligence of Judgement!

Everyone:(The Stellar Intelligence of Judgement?)

Kaijuno: Yes! Yes! I have heard of her all too well. She's a grand observer who casts her judgement upon many qualities with her all seeing eyes and all knowing mind. She determines the value by summoning the very stars to her whim! The number of stars is what determines the value that she judges. Nothing gets past her vision!

Everyone:(She is capable of doing all that!?)

Kaijuno: It's no small news, she's gained a big reputation across the forest. Only a fool could not have heard of her!

Kaijuno: (Let's see if they take the bait)

Dovakin: . . .ah yeah! I definitely heard of Framea, obviously 

Lavandra: Y-yes, everyone knows about her. Who wouldn't?

Benjamin: *clears throat* yeah yeah, totally know about her

Cameilla: Of course! Of course!

Napoleon: mmhm! Definitely heard of her

Gobta: I don't reca-

Rigur: shush!

With the first sparks lit, it spread to everyone else like wildfire

Halfling Chieftain: Of course! It's so obvious

Gorillafolk Chieftain: She's truly someone you best keep your eye on afterall

Serpant Chieftain: Everyone and their grandparents obviously knows about the Stellar Intelligence of Judgement. No one could've possibly missed that!

Everyone else:(I'll just pretend I know about her to avoid looking like the idiot here)

Kaijuno: (OOH! Thank goodness!)

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: W-wha!?

Kaijuno: So rest assured we'll be keep a look out for her

Rabbitfolk : y-y-yes! Thank you so much your merciful generosity Great Demon Lord Kaijuno-Sama 

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: (Since when did my daughter became such a big deal!?)

This kind of timidness was about the same for the weaker tribes. Not being the flustered and nervous one of the convo oddly gave me a sense of satisfactory and ease. Even the stronger tribes chosed to stay formal and respectful to avoid upsetting a demon lord . . . . . . Well almost all of them. For anyone who read the novel, you can guess who I mean

Gozu Chieftain: Hey Demon Lord! Join us and no one will stand in our way! Especially the pathetic Mezu tribe!

Mezu: In your dreams! Team up with us instead and we'll show fools like the Gozu tribe what we're made of!

Kaijuno: (Dang! I almost forgotten these two knuckle heads. An odd comedy of of kissing me up while making it obvious they wish to use me for their own gain. Actually I sounds about like every visitor here but these guys a shamelessly open about it)

Benjamin: How dare you act like this infront of our lord! If you don't seized this behavior then I'll have to take this matter into my own hands

Gozu: Mind your place puny maid!

Mezu: Yeah! You'll only end up getting hurt!

Kaijuno: Benjamin! I permit you to handle this one yourself

Benjamin: with pleasure 

Kaijuno: Make sure to show them the secret technique I trained you to do!

Benjamin: wha-

Kaijuno: (Just slap them really hard)

Benjamin: (Hai?)

Gozu: We'll show exactly why the Goz-

*Slap of Shame*

Gozu: Ow! What was that!?

Mezu: Ha! As expected from the weak Gozu. But that won't work on the mighty-

*Slap of Shame*

Mezu: Ow!

As proceeded, both were slapped an embarrassing amount of time til both of their cheeks were swollen and red. Dropped to the ground as if they ran a marathon

Gozu: S-stop! Please!

Mezu: We give up! We give up!

Benjamin: You're sure?

Gozu/Mezu: YES!!

Kaijuno: The matter does seem to be settled. So do I have your undivided attention now?

Gozu/Mezu: *nods yes*

Kaijuno: Perfect! Cause I'm really gonna need you two to focus for the next part

I knelt down to face closely to the two tumbled brutes. I removed my mask by a tiny amount so it would still cover my face from everyone and led out enough of my Monster King Haki for everyone to notice 

Everyone:!!!

Kaijuno: *wears mask again* So! Are we going to behave now?

Gozu/Mezu: Hai!

Gozu: (Such unimaginable power! Is this the true strength of a demon lord!?)

Mezu: (He was holding this much power!? It feels like there are worlds of distance between us!)

Mezu Chieftain: A-as the chief of the Mezu, I swear our tribe's undying loyalty towards your majesty!

Gozu Chieftain: S-same here! The Gozu tribe pledges to serve under your lordship!

Kaijuno: (They're were fast! Not missing a second. I guess I can thank Monster King Haki for this since unlike Demon Lord Haki, it has an effect of making weaker monster more willing to subordinate themselves to me)

After that, the elf chief introduced themselves to me. Immediately I was thanked for having the Gozu and Mezu situation be dealt with. Apparently those chuckle nuts made loads of problems from the nearby inhabitants including the elves.

I offered them a place of residence in the Labyrinth since their current position isn't favorable despite the Gozu/Mezu situation being settled. Maybe rimuru could get off my butt if this works well. 

Kaijuno: (Hey rimuru!)

Rimuru: (Yeah?)

Kaijuno: (I got us some new inhabitants for the Labyrinth)

Rimuru: (You do?)

Kaijuno: (yeah, some look like minotaurs but aren't labeled as minotaurs somehow. There's also some horse head that are just as strong as the minotaur people. I figured we could use them as bosses for our Labyrinth)

Rimuru: (That actually sounds great!)

Kaijuno: (Also we got a bunch of nature loving hobos as well)

Rimuru: (hobos? What?)

Kaijuno: (yeah, we got a bunch of homeless people to inhabit all those forest floors in the labyrinth)

Rimuru: (Don't tell me you just kidnapped people from the streets)

Kaijuno: (Oh I'm sorry! I didn't thought you'd be against have elves in the Labyrinth)

Rimuru: (. . .what?)

Kaijuno: (Elves! E-L-F, like the Will Ferell movie)

Rimuru: (and why were you framing them as hobos?)

Kaijuno: (hehe, to mess with you)

Rimuru:( Oh you sly dog kukuku! well that great! I hope they'll like it here)

Kaijuno: (Any particular reason why your so hopeful?)

Rimuru: (N-no!)

Kaijuno: (hmmm alright, also I wanted to let you know as well, apparently some of the elves had move away to other places but had concerningly hadn't been contacted since. Should we be concerned about that?)

Rimuru:(. . .YES! We should have Leonardo investigate it)

Kaijuno: (O-oh alright!? I make sure he gets on with that. I have a couple others to chat with, bye!)

Rimuru: (. . . I won't let any noble get in the way of my dream of a personal elf bar, no matter what!)

It was fairly mundane for most of the chats and introductions til the people of the hour finally showed up, the tengu tribe. The head of the group is none other than the daughter of the elder, Momiji

Momiji: Greetings Demon Lord Kaijuno, I am Momiji. I am here in place of our tribe's leader

Kaijuno: Excellent! I am who they refer to as Kaijuno and it's my pleasure to meet the people of the tengu tribe. I wished to first establish that despite becoming the ruler of the forest, I have no intentions of stepping into your affairs

Momiji: That's good, while you're recognized as this forest's ruler, we won't tolerate any interference

Kaijuno: (Yagami, how is she feeling right now?)

Yagami: (Answer, individual momiji is currently suppressing her stress)

Kaijuno: (figured, seeing how clenched her fist is. Despite her prideful attitude, even she can't feel at ease in talks with a demon lord while keeping her stance as a leader)

Kaijuno: I'm sure you would be wary. I assume this due to your matter with the former demon lord Frey

Momiji: Yes exactly. We wished to discuss with that infact. If what that letter said was true, then Frey really stepped down as a demon lord?

Kaijuno: (Good call for myself. I had Frey's situation be mentioned in the letter for them to read. Opens up a clearing of that misunderstanding)

Kaijuno: Indeed, I have heard that there were tensions between the tengus and the harpies. For your concern, I can confirm that the sky queen Frey has stepped down of her position as a demon lord and is currently serving demon lord milim

Momiji: But what would that change anything?

Kaijuno: It does, since I claimed the entire forest of jura as my territory as a demon lord, it would mean she can't attack and invade like she used to due to the non-agression pact between demon lords. Despite no longer being a demon lord herself, she serving milim who is a demon lord so that pact still applies

Demon Lord milim is also a personal friend of my sister so the last thing she'll want is to attack and provoke us

Momiji: You seriously mean?

Kaijuno: Yes, Frey can no longer attack the tengus. Also I don't believe she would need to anyways. Geld, isn't Frey pleased with the reconstruction of her capital?

Geld: Yes, she especially enjoyed how much higher it was made compared to the previous design

Kaijuno: So there you have it. Frey is no longer a problem for the tengu to deal with

Momiji: So it was true all along

Having the concern in regards to Frey settled, negotiations went far more smoothly and we were able to form a pack with the tengu

Tengu Guard: Kaijuno-Sama, we truly appreciate your kind generosity 

Kaijuno: No problem

Tengu Guard: Also, our leader brought a letter for you to read

Kaijuno: then I'd like to look at it myself

The tengu guard handed me the envelope holding two letters. The one behind the front one was the actual letter intended for me. It was basically hopeful wishes for prosperous relationship between them and us along with documented confirmation to be permitted to dig a tunnel through the mountain they reside in.

The letter in front was the one intended for shifu, full of romantic gestures. Kinda awkward to say out to a demon lord

Kaijuno: (You're welcome momiji, I just saved you a moment of embarrassment)

Kaijuno: hm, hey Shifu! I think this one is intended for you

Shifu: Is it now? . . . . . . . . . . . "As my senior disciple and as the girl's father, I beg Shifu the Sword Savant, please teach her, train her, and guide her to success. To my beloved from Kaede" Goodness so after all these years, she's still in love with me

Momiji: Wait are you?

Shifu: Yes Momiji, I am your father. I'm glad I finally got to meet you

Not taking a moment longer momiji embraced Shifu in a hug with Shifu fully accepting it. The sweet reunion left a couple in tears

Shifu: I must warn you I'm quite the harsh teacher

Momiji: Ok!

Shifu: Sweetie you must overcome my training and claim young Benjamin's heart!

Benjamin: !!!

Napoleon: !!!

Cameilla: !?

Kaijuno: *snicker*

Benjamin: Hold on! Don't go off making such claims!

Shifu: What! Are you saying you're too godd for my daughter!

Benjamin: I barely know your daughter! And so do you so why are you suddenly acting like a dotting father!?

Shifu: I know I missed out on a lot so I'm wasting no time in making up for it!

Cameilla: Oh! That reminded me, Albis had message from Albis

Benjamin: What?

Cameilla: "I have made up my mind Lord Benjamin. I intend to win against Moniji and claim the position as your wife. At the worst case, I'll settle as your concubine". That the message

Kaijuno: pfft!

Napoleon: Son

Benjamin: Yes?

Napoleon: You shouldn't brush this off. You have women throwing themselves at you. Do you know anyone else who can pull this off while in a pretty pink maid dress?

Benjamin: Not you too!

Napoleon: Benjamin, as the current generation and upcoming Chieftain, it is your duty to set up an heir for the next generation to follow

Benjamin: I know you're asking for but-

Napoleon: Also I want grand kids

Benjamin: Father!?

Napoleon: Have sex already and give me grand kids!

Kaijuno: (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!)

Dovakin: Benjamin is such a lady killer, who would've thought the ladies would make a line just to get a piece of him

Geld: Indeed, to think he is capable of this level of attraction

Dovakin: Yeah, it's not just Albis and Momiji, I also heard Toka and Saika have the hots for him as well

Leonardo: You mean Souka's folks?

Dovakin: Yeah! They originally had it out for you but they gave up since Souka is already with you

Leonardo: I don't know what you're talking about. We're not exactly an item yet

Kaijuno: (Yet?)

Gobta: So Benjamin straight up has a harem? I'm so jealous!

Geld: His great masculinity already hold lots of attraction but the addition of his maid dress brings out femininity that gives him a softer side. Even I'm envious that he can pull this off

Dovakin: What are you talking about Geld? You're doing great! I bet you have some chicks interested as well, I can't exactly say the same for myself though

Geld: How so?

Gabiru: While appreciated, all the people of praise me are men, a total sausage party

Geld: So you lack the interaction with women?

Dovakin: Well no, I do chat here and there with my female coworkers at the research facility 

Gobta: So what's the jist then?

Dovakin: Unfortunately they can't bring themselves to be attracted to a reptilian 

Geld: That sounds unfortunate indeed

Dovakin: It's even worst when my own dragonnewt subordinates getting asked out to dates and getting their reptile features "cute" it so unfair!

Geld: O-oh

Geld: (I not sure which is more depressing)

Dovakin: I might as well accept that I'll be lonely forever. There's no women avaliable to be interested in me

Kaijuno: . . . Well I mean Suphia is avaliable

Dovakin: huh?

Kaijuno: . . .

Kaijuno: (Kinda suprised from the pairing later in the novels but liked that he had his moment. Mildly hilarious that he offically gotten a girlfriend before rimuru hehe)

Leonardo: You're all making a big deal out of nothing. Women aren't that impossible to charm

Geld/Gobta/Geld: Really!?

Leonardo: Yes, remember the holy knight from Luberious?

Gobta: the blonde or the red head?

Leonardo: we don't talk about him

Kaijuno: (Hopefully he doesn't mean that bdsm crap. If he does know a good thing or two about charisma, then I might be a little somewhat interested just in case if it's only needed later on. It's not like I want to know more out unwanted necessity)

Yagami: (Notice, tsundere characteristics detected)

Kaijuno: (I'm not a tsundere!)

Yagami: (tsun tsun)

Cameilla: Kaijuno-Sama, shouldn't we halt this at once?

Kaijuno: (Oh Cmon!)

Kaijuno: ah yes Ahem! "Seize this racket! I demand silence!"

Everyone: !

Kaijuno: So Benjamin what do you intend to do?

Benjamin: w-well I only need one lover and that's that

Kaijuno: (I'm willing to bet so much it's not going to be the case)

Momiji: I'll accept this challenge! I'll defeat Albis and claim and the position of wife!

Cameilla: Is this alright Kaijuno-Sama 

Kaijuno: Yeah, let's make it a Tempest tradition afterall "Love is War" and who better to start this than this "Oh Mister" of a battle maid. Although don't actually fight your competition, just focus on out competing your opponents by winning the heart of your crush. It'll be a pain if we get sudden brawls over such ridiculous reasons

Benjamin: (Oh Benjamin, what kind of headache did you get yourself into)

As assumed this became a custom within Tempest. One that I was able to get labeled as "Love Dramatic" it was oddly entertaining see multiple people trying to charm someone out in the open. It's like watching a romcom anime

The moment I finally had some time off from the formal meetings I decided to take a trip to check you big bro's Veldora's food stall that was set up show some cuisine prior to the festival. I still couldn't bring myself to eat seafood so I just went in support of his takoyaki business trial run. But before i could reach his stall, there was a big line that formed a crowd.

I decided to just came back later when the line is less clustered but before I stepped away, I noticed a stack of paper on the ground. Taking a moment to check it, I noticed it has illustrations of various things and little stars. It didn't took a while me to smirk upon realization of who this belongs to

Kaijuno: (What are the freaking odd)

.

*later that night*

In a meeting room within the Town hall, sat a nervous wreck of a rabbit girl, pondering how that gotten to this situation 

Framea's Pov

Framea: (Framea, you just HAD to have your father take you to the capital city of a demon lord and look where that gotten you! Now you're in his freaking office! How could this get even worse?)

While she was regretting her current position, her chieftain father had just entered the room. both were suprised to see one another

Rabbitfolk Chief: Framea?

Framea: F-father!?

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: Framea! Where have you been!? Do you know how many days we were in search of you!?

Framea: I-I was just sight seeing! Just traversing the town I swear!

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: then how can you explain this "Stellar Intelligence of Judgment" buisness? Why am I only hearing about this now!?

Framea: What!?

Cameilla: Excuse me, I brought some tea, please drink before they get cold

Framea/Rabbitfolk Chieftain: Hai! Thank you!

Cameilla: Kaijuno-Sama shall be here momentarily, I assure you there isn't anything to worry over

Framea: O-ok

Framea/Rabbitfolk Chieftain: *sips* (so refreshing!)

Framea: Wow! This blend is great! 3 stars!

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: F-framea, calm yourse-

Framea: And that dress, it's so pretty! Is it made here?

Cameilla: Yes, I made it myself infact. There are dresses in similar quality in our shops

Framea: I'll have to make sure I stop by then

Cameilla: It would our pleasure to the Stellar Intelligence of Judgement come by

Framea: What?

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: (Framea what are you doing!!? Do you have any idea how risky it is to be so casual with a servant of a demon lord!!!?? He could be here any secon-)

Kaijuno: The King has arrived! I'm Kaijuno Tempest

In an instant, both of the Rabbitfolk tensed at the arrival of a demon lord 

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: D-d-demon lord Kaijuno!? I-it is my humble honor to be in your presence once again

Framea: Oh! I-um, I'm Framea of the Rabbitfolk tribe!

Framea: (He is a lot shorter than I imagined)

Rabbitfolk Cheiftain: (Wait wasn't he much taller the last time I saw him?)

Kaijuno: (Shoot! I forgot morph into my taller form. Hopefully he doesn't mention it)

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: (Nevermind, it's better to not question it)

Kaijuno: I've heard of you. Tell me, what do you think of our tea?

Framea: Well it's really nice. There's a hint of sweetness, it's leaves must've been fermented. Also is this cup glazed in quartz?

Kaijuno: Heh! I knew it

Framea/Rabbitfolk Chieftain: Eh?

Kaijuno: This level of analytics is exactly of what I heard of. As expected of the Stellar Intelligence of Judgement

Framea: (Wha!? What is he talking about!?)

Kaijuno: This power. . . is clearly sourced from a skill at the level of unique! Aren't I right?

Framea: It is. To specify it is my Unique Skill Dilettante 

Kaijuno: I assumed so. But that's not all, there's also THIS!

Framea: My notepad!? When did I drop it

Kaijuno: I found your sacred relic lying on the ground, your "Cosmic Records"

Framea: (Eh!? What is he on about!? It's just an organized stack of paper!)

Framea: I believe there might be a misunderstanding, surely you jest

Kaijuno: No, it's clear this relic is how you summoned the star in your whim!

Framea: What!?

Kaijuno: Look!

While I was delirious, three tiny balls of light suddenly sprouted out of my notepad. The same number as the rating I gave to the takoyaki which was the top of the pile

Framea: Huh!?

Kaijuno: You can't feel me! These are the very stars you used to cast your judgment upon takoyaki! 

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: So it's true!

Kaijuno: (Put up a couple of white flames contained in a form of a sphere and you can convince anyone those little beads are shrunken stars. Great thinking Yagami!)

Yagami: (Heh)

Framea: W-wha, HUH!?

Kaijuno: Framea I hold a question to ask

Framea: Y-yeah?

Kaijuno: You looking for a job?

Framea: wut?

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: HUH!?

Kaijuno: (Yagami, please show me the manga page)

Yagami: (Affirmative)

Kaijuno: (Thanks, Ahem!)

Kaijuno: We're holding a festival soon. We'll be having a lot of guest from out of town. So I'd like a guidebook to help out foreigners in their time here. I'd like to have help from someone of your skill, these rating stars are exactly what we need for everyone new in these lands

Framea: I'm not sure I'm up for it. It sounds like a pretty big job

Kaijuno: You clearly traveled plenty so I can count on your perspective. This sort of expertise is quite rare infact.

And it's not like this could get in the way much, you would be able to continue to enjoy Tempest freely

And of course

Kaijuno: (Dang what a list!)

Kaijuno: Food, Lodging, Clothes, and a salary shall be provided in your employment

Framea: ?

Kaijuno: You will be granted free passage in your time here.

Framea: !

Kaijuno: and of course, we're gonna be revealing some new cool stuff and as our reviewer, you shall be given a good look in advance, all of them

Framea: !!! I-I'll do it! Please let me handle it for you!

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: employed!? M-my daughter!?

Framea: isn't that great father! I get to serve a demon lord

Rabbitfolk Chieftain: Shouldn't you at least think about it more!? This isn't something to hop into immediately!

Framea: You're always such a worry wart father!

Kaijuno: (Hopefully Rimuru wouldn't mind this new addition. They were the ones who offered the deal in the original canon anyways. I can't believe everyone bought the whole Stellar Intelligence of Judgement thing. Best of luck to you Framea cause you might need a bit extra of it)
