We had gone back to tempest and settled in a open area home and began drinking to our hearts content, the issue with Gazel Dwargo had been completely resolved.
Rimuru had been completely roped into, not only agreeing into an alliance with Dwargon but also making his developing country an official nation and naming their town after him.
Thus the Jura-Tempest federation was established as well as the capital being Rimuru city.
"Lord Pneuma, may I ask you something?" Hakurou approached me with curiosity.
"Did you need something from?"
"Yes, where exactly did you learn the haze style, you've never been to one of my lessons and the haze style isn't exactly a popular sword style." Hakurou asked causing everyone else there to turn their attention to us.
"Mhm if I told you, then you most likely wouldn't believe me?" I told Hakurou and the entire room who was listening.
"Is it really that much of a secret?" Hakurou lightly chucked for what he assumed was vigilance.
"It's not a secret, it truthfully is just an extremely unbelievable reason, but if you insist then I'll tell you. The person I learnt the haze style from is King Gazel."
The room was surprised by this and all eyes turned towards Gazel who just shook his head, "I didn't teach him, I'd think I'd remember a figure like him."
"You wouldn't remember me, not after what I did 50 years ago." My words caused the entire room to become intrigued and when I opened my eyes, I found everyone sitting Infront of me, like children expecting a story, "Do I have too?"
"Pleaseeeee!" Rimuru begged.
"Fine but you all can release your anticipation because there is no story, all I did was erase my name across the world. I made it so that the entire world would forget the name Simon Winters and only remember Pneuma."
The room went silent, everyone was surprised by this sudden revelation, everyone except Rimuru.
" That makes so much sense." My revelation made Rimuru go back to what Veldora said about how he had his memory erased by Pneuma and that he couldn't grasp the name or face of his old friend.
Gazel also grasped something, "So I was the one who taught you the haze style."
"No, it's more accurate to say that we fought in the past and I replicated the haze style and adapted it to my body."
…
"So you basically stole the haze style from me?" Gazel seemed to feel a sense of betrayal.
" Yep, oh wait, I almost forgot something." I got up, opened imaginary space and pulled out a stand with armor and a two handed sword. The armor and sword radiated a powerful signature that even Rimuru doubted he had.
"Um Simon, what is this?" Rimuru asked warily.
"This is King Gazel's new armor and sword." My words making everyone even more surprised.
"Lord Simon, I appreciate the sentiment but you don't have to feel sorry for breaking my equipment."
" Sorry?" I looked at Gazel in confusion.
"Is that not the reason?"
"No, the reason is your title. For someone who calls himself the hero king, that armor and sword you carried was absolutely pathetic." My words struck Gazel in the heart, and he almost fainted from the insult.
"So… I'm guessing you want me to put it on now." Gazel recovered quickly.
"Yeah all you need to do is tell the armor to put itself onto you." My question made everyone in the room to become confused.
"You jest right?" Gazel assumed I was joking until he saw my eyebrow raise. He sighed and complied with what I was saying, "Armor…could you put yourself around me… I guess?" Gazel not knowing how to do it awkwardly asked the armor in a way that made him extremely embarrassed.
That embarrassment vanished the next second when the armor liquefied itself and moulded itself onto his body and the sword seemingly just appeared in his hand.
Everyone was amazed by this sudden performance in which I went into lecturing, "The armor and sword respond to your thoughts. They can automatically repair themselves when broken and bold itself into any shape to form any armor or weapon. The armor and sword can hide in your skin without any side effects and when you're in danger they will automatically defend against that danger for you."
Everyone was blasted away by the effects of this armor, to an extent that it made Rimuru quite jealous that he didn't get such an armor.
Like a little child Gazel began experimenting with the effects, "Hide!" Upon the command, the armor and sword hid in his body, so much so that he couldn't feel the weight of either.
I teleported behind him and kicked him in the head. As expected, the metal came out of his body and solidified into a helmet, " Perfect."
Gazel soaked in the liquid metal that just protected him and bowed to me, " Thank you Lord Pneuma, this armor is truly a national treasure."
" It's no issue and I apologize if the armor isn't up to standard, I only made this a couple hours ago."
Now everyone was truly shocked, it was only now that King Gazel, not only realized why I am the innovative god, but also that no matter what Dwargon tried, they will never reach my level of technology.
————————————————
Gazel had left after showing off his new armor and sword towards his own Pegasus knights and then returned two days later with a body bag.
"Holy shit, it's Vesta." I replied calmly.
"Vesta hasn't been allowed to work for me since the trial, I want you to give him a job."
"But my king, wouldn't Dwargon suffer without his knowledge."
"Bold words from someone who left Dwargon themselves. We allies now, sharing resources is what we do, this is your chance to develop your country evens further."
And so Vesta become employed under Kaijin…once again.
"So you are Pneuma?" Vesta said while approaching me.
"That's correct."
He kneeled down to me, "Lord Pneuma, it is an honour to meet you in the flesh."
"The honour is all mine, now you must be a good researcher and maybe not try and sabotage your colleagues." I bent down and said teasingly to Vesta.
"No! I promise I won't do such a thing."
I got up and shouted to Kaijin, " Hey Kaijin, make sure you take care of Vesta over here!"
Kaijin paused for a second and then gave me a wide grin and a thumbs up, which I returned in kind.
