The crimson princess

Pov Dia,

Dia: "And what do we do now? This place is ruined, and there’s still Sword Oni who’s either passed out or dead."

It’s good that my relationship with Rimuru has evolved, but it doesn’t change the problem that this place is destroyed because of the fight.

Sera: "Wouldn’t it be better to move to a village or town? There, we’re sure to have food."

Dia: "We’ll do that because we don’t have much choice."

I started to expand my aura to find a place with a lot of presence. In principle, it is towards these places that we will find a city.

We headed for a place where the population is really very high; it must surely be the capital or a major city.

Rimuru: "Dia-sama, I feel something a little further."

For greater security, I asked Rimuru to continue scanning the area so as not to ambush us.

Finding ourselves at the place where Rimuru felt a fluctuation of energy, we found ourselves facing a conflict between a nine-tailed yokai kitsune and humans holding another nine-tailed kitsune hostage.

Kitsune: "If you dare touch my husband, you will die."

Human1: "What are you going to do? Even if we touched one of his hairs, you wouldn’t take a step because we might as well kill him before you kill us all. So now, take this tento and kill yourself, and we promise we’ll release your husband."

Apparently, these cowards are unable to kill her, so they decide to take the person who is most dear to her to reach their end.

Mari: "Lady Amaterasu-sama will never forgive you for wanting the death of her miko."

Human 1: "As if we were afraid of a deity whose existence we have not seen for ages. Now, woman, kill yourself, otherwise your husband will die."

Kitsune:" Hope of an unholy asshole."

Human 2: "You are the yokais that we watch. You are not normal; you should not even exist."

They’re starting to piss me off, these racists. I’m gonna kill them.

Dia: "I’ll take care of the one who holds the husband. Sera, you build a wall of ice to protect him, then you attack the others. I don’t want you to leave one alive."

Sera: "Okay, he pisses me off so much, it feels like the world is theirs."

Dia: "Welcome to the real world, a world full of injustice where it is the strongest who wins and the weakest who suffers. Rimuru, send a telepathic message to the Kitsune to say that we will help her and distract them a little by making them believe that she will do what they want."

Rimuru: "As you wish, Dia-sama."

While Rimuru sends his telepathic message, I start to create a crimson bow and then craft an arrow.

I take aim at the head of the one who took the husband hostage and release the arrow, which strikes directly into the skull of my target.

Dia:" Sera you can."

Right after my words, Sera springs into action. By the time the others understand what’s happening, more than half of the people have already been killed.

Human: "Prepare yourselves to attack her. She caught us by surprise, so she can’t be that strong."

This is their biggest mistake; in the heat of the action, they forgot about the Kitsune, who took the opportunity to attack them from behind. Thirty seconds later, all humans were dead.

Dia: "You can unfreeze the wall, Sera."

Sera: "Okay."

After the wall thawed, the Kitsune headed toward her husband, spoke to him a little, and then approached us.

Kitsune: "Thank you for saving our lives. If you don’t mind, I can accommodate you for as long as you want."

It’s great; now we have housing.

Dia: "Speaking on behalf of the three of us, I don’t think we mind. Can we count on you to take care of us, madam?"

Kitsune: "True, I forgot the most important thing. My name is Inari, and this is my husband, Kurama."

Dia: "I’m Dia Gremory, and these are my two wives, Sera Sitri and Rimuru."

I hope there are some who thought that one of the 2 kitsune was Yasaka
