Chapter 20

"I want the colourful dessert at the party, it's delicious. Also the grilled meat at table 4." the King asked an official what meat the one on table 4.

"Underwater Chicken" I heard that official say. Underwater Chicken? A fish Chicken?.

"How about you?" he asked the other 3

"I didn't get a chance to taste everything but I want a lot of meat delicacies, and a ton of booze too" Ace..didn't get a chance?, as far as I remember...he ate the most.

"The same as Ace, I want my subordinates to taste it." Rimuru

"I don't have anyone I want to give food" Kakashi

"Give it to the other members in my house and your team" I said

"The same as Ace then." Kakashi

"Are you sure? can your storage spell stop it from going bad? it'll go bad before you arrive at home if not." King James

"It won't, we'll teleport anyway," I said

"Teleportation? is there any teleportation gate nearby?" Justine

"How would I know?" I said

"huh?" Justine

"We have our way of teleportation, we don't need a teleportation gate."

"I see" King James

"We'll give you a newly cooked one before you leave" King James

"alright"

"Aren't we here to know who's behind the assassins? how come we're talking about foods? the topic flew far away eh." Rimuru

"Your fault," I said

"It's no- I guess so?" he said unsure, he's the one who asked if we are leaving, the one who initiate the conversation to go that way and asked about the invitation so technically, he's the reason the topic deviated.

"Your Majesty, we'll be going to the hall now..tomorrow at 1 pm is our departure time, don't forget the food." I reminded.

"Yeah yeah, go now before another topic was created," he said while massaging his forehead.

Except for the royals, the rest of the people with them didn't butt in our conversation...after all, even when we blatantly disrespect the king by ignoring him..he didn't get angry and the method of distant teleportation that doesn't use a teleportation gate shows our unique Identity.

I and my gang went back to enjoy the party that ended at midnight.

We rested after the party, and Kakashi and Ace slept soundly. I meditated and Rimuru helped in cleaning the hall cause' he was bored.

At 6 am, we walked around with the Princes for 2 hours.. told us more tales about the kingdom.

At 8 am, we ate breakfast with the Royals..we also met Prince Jules, the King's brother's son.

The King's younger brother, John was situated on the border...managing the most chaotic city under the kingdom.

The Royal Family likes naming with J at the start. James, John, Justine, Josh, and Jules, I also heard King James has an older sister named Joanne that was cursed by a demon and died.

At 9 am, I started meditating in the garden cause' we got nothing to do. Ace went to a local pub to mingle, Kakashi was reading his favourite novel and Rimuru was having fun with Justine. As for Josh, I don't know.

3rd POV

The Infinity Gang did different activities while waiting for the mission to complete.

At 10:30 am, the Royal cooks started making the foods with lots of meat.

At 12:50 pm, all infinity members gathered at the garden where the MC is cultivating.

Ash's POV

I sensed a bunch of people going to me, is it time already?

I ignored them and waited for the notification.

[Mission Completed! Everyone who participated will be given the coin rewards according to their performance.]

{You received 480 coins for this mission.}

'How about the others?'

{Kakashi got 550 coins, Ace got 500 coins, and Rimuru got 580 coins}

'I got the lowest?'

{You just ate and watched the whole time, if not for giving them information about the assassins.. labelling you the group Scout, your reward will be lower. Thank your luck to get targeted by the assassin and seeing one on the second floor..also seeing the escapees.}

'Ok, thank you my luck.'

"Do you have the food? I asked them.

"Nope." Rimuru

"They'll arrive here in 5 minutes, can you still wait?" Justine asked

"Just 5 mins, we can wait..." I said

The King, Jules and Josh arrived one after another.

After 4 minutes, the servants arrived carrying a lot of containers with food in them.

Fortunately, glass existed here.

We took our food and put them in our stores, I also took the one Kakashi requested for the non-participants...of course, I gave him some to give to Naruto and the others as today is just the introduction, the bell test will happen tomorrow.

[Guildmaster Ash, choose the item reward:

4x one-time teleportation talisman

Or a

Specific Invitation Card]

'How much is the Specific Invitation Card?'

{It is not available for you.}

'Why?'

{Because you might keep inviting your favourite characters, the guild members will increase fast and there will be more competition for limited mission participants. It'll only be available once you're mature enough to only invite those useful to you.}

'What a bummer'

'I choose the Specific Invitation Card since it can't be bought.'

[You got a 1× Specific Invitation Card]

'Do I need to give this personally or there's free delivery if I sent it while in the pocket Dimension?'

{You can send it anytime.}

'I want to Invite Josh Moore'

{Affirmative, sending the invitation now.}

I looked at Josh's side to know how it will be sent.

The Invitation just appeared in front of him, floating at chest level.

He sent a questioning look at me.

"Your Invitation," I said

"I thought there's only 1 invitation?" Rimuru

"Why? Can't I give one if I want to?" I asked back

"Justine and Josh, only those guild members and the one with the invitations can see what is written in there..you can read each other's letters, there is a difference." I reminded

"What's the difference?" Acr

'System, can you send a picture of the letters to the group chat?.. I also don't know what is written in it.'

{Sure}

"I sent it in the group chat," I said

"I'll check later" Ace
