I apologize for the late update! ＿○／|＿ Life got busy with school and house chores and my social life, so I didn't have much time to write. That's why the updates will be slower from now on.

But on another matter. I want to thank you guys for all your suggestions for websites where I could watch the anime. I was really surprised that there would be so many. （・□・；）but thanks to you I was able to continue. So, thank you all very much. (_ _)

I have also seen that the second season will be released in 2020. While I'm sad that it won't be sooner, I'm still happy it won't be a long wait like for other animes where it would take 2-3 years so there's nothing I can do but wait for it.

There are a few new animes I am interested in this year so it would have been hard anyway since I would binge watch them all while forgetting to write this...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new chapter of my little slime fanfic. (⌒∇⌒)

After dealing with the misunderstanding between Rimuru and the ogres the goblins were now facing a new danger. A danger which could ruin them forever.

All goblins were on edge as they watched the villages cook Gobuichi server their Lord Rimuru his first meal. Rimuru took a few seconds to look at the beef skewer which was served to him before he picked it up and took his first bite.

Everyone was silent as Rimuru slowly chewed the meat. But after he swallowed his bite the young boy began to tremble. The goblins began to get scared as their Master didn't say anything.

"Rimuru-sama?" Rigurd called frightened.

"Is it not to your taste?" Rigur questioned nervously.

"It's so delicious!" Rimuru shouted with a big smile on his face.

The goblins roared in joy that their master was happy. Goburu breathed out a sigh of relief. With their Master continuing his meal with a big smile everyone else began to eat and drink with great joy. While everyone else enjoyed the feast Amaryllis took Rigurd, Rigur, and Kaijin to the two ogres in the background to discuss what had happened to them.

Their leader explained how an army of orcs had invaded their village and killed everyone they could find. Kaijin couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"The Orcs attacked the Ogres?! That can't be!"

"It's the truth."

"Can such a thing really happen?" Kaijin questioned.

"I don't know." Rigurd mumbled.

"Is it that strange?" Gobuta wondered with his mouth full of food.

"Of course it is. Ogres are immeasurably stronger than Orcs. That such a weak race would attack them is unthinkable." Kaijin explained.

"Nevertheless, they did come. They attacked our village out of nowhere. They carried weapons and wore armor, and their overwhelming numbers filled the entire forest. Those detestable pigs... overran our village." the ogre snarled.

"Orcs wearing armor?"

"Yeah, the same type of full plate mail that humans wear."

"Then it's likely that the orcs are not working alone," Rigurd commented.

"Orcs could never round up all that valuable armor themselves."

"Exactly. Among them was... a masked demon."

"And you fought Rimuru-sama because you had mistaken him for this masked demon," Rigurd summarized.

"Yes."

"So... what does it all mean?" Gobuta asked.

"There is a possibility that one of the Demon Lord are helping the Orcs," Amaryllis mumbled.

"A Demon Lord, huh?" Kaijin sighed.

"But why a Demon Lord?" Rigurd wondered.

"I don't know. The only thing I' sure of is that only six of my three hundred brethren remain alive."

"I see. No wonder you're upset."

The group looked up and saw Rimuru walking toward them.

"Are you already full, Rimuru?" Amaryllis smiled as her little brother went to lean against the tree besides them.

"I'm taking a break. By the way, your sister is really amazing," he told the ogre leader and looked at the ogre girl who was talking to a few goblinas.

"She knows a lot about medicinal and cooking herbs. The goblinas took to her immediately."

"She was a sheltered child. She must be happy that they are relying on her," the leader smiled as he saw his little sister smiling so happy again.

"So, what are you guys going to do now?" Rimuru asked him.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean your plans for the future. Whether you rebuild your village or you relocate to another area, the fate of your comrades depends on your leadership, right? "

"That's easy. We will build our strength and take them on again."

"What kind of plan is that?" Rimuru stared at him in disbelief.

"Do you even know where to find them?" Amaryllis questioned as she gazed at him skeptically.

The ogre gazed to the side and took a sip of his mug ignoring their questions.

'He doesn't have a plan at all...' the duo thought.

"Well, I have a suggestion. Do you guys have any interest in being my subordinates?" Rimuru asked.

"Subordinates?"

"Of course, all I can pay you I guaranteed food, shelter, and clothes. You need a home base, right?"

"But that would involve your whole village in our revenge," the ogre argued.

"Well... I'm not just offering this as a favor to you guys. You said thousands of armed Orcs attacked you, right? And there might be a Demon Lord pulling the strings," Rimuru mumbled.

"Though we may not know their goal yet, but if their army is roaming around the Great Forest of Jura then this village isn't completely save either," Amaryllis commented.

"Which is why adding as many to our numbers as possible would benefit us. Plus, if anything happened to you guys, I'd fight with you. I'll never abandon a friend," Rimuru explained.

"I see... Sorry, let me give it some thought..." the leader said.

"Sure. Take all the time you need to think about it. Well, I think I'll eat some more."

Both Rimuru and the ogre left them. While Rigurd and Kaijin asked the elder ogre more questions, Amaryllis fell into her thoughts as she contemplates everything she heard about the Orcs.

'Normally the Orcs would never think about attacking those who are stronger than themselves... There shouldn't be any reasons for them unless...'

"A Orc Lord?" she whispered.

"Hm? Is something wrong, Lady Amaryllis?" Rigur asked her.

"Ah... No, it's nothing. Don't worry about it. Anyway overthinking this won't help us tonight. We should discuss the orcs on another day and enjoy the feast." she smiled weakly.

"You're right. It's not likely that we can do anything without any more information." Kaijin agreed.

He and Rigur left to enjoy the feat with the others along with the elder ogre who joined them.

'If an Orc Lord has truly been born then there's no mistake- Someone is definitively pulling the strings behind the Orcs. But I have not enough information about that demon to know if a Demon Lord is behind all this. There is no choice, until I can prove the existence of the Orc Lord there is not much we can do but to wait.'

~ The next morning ~

At this moment Rimuru and Amaryllis were sitting in his room while the young leader of the ogres was standing in front of them.

"So, have you decided?" the slime asked.

"The Ogres are a battle clan. We are willing to charge in and fight for the person we serve. And you are a strong person, we will be honored to serve you as our master."

The young ogre knelt down in front of them and bowed.

"I would like to accept the offer you presented last night. All of us ogres will hereby serve under you."

"I understand. You can lift up your head."

The leader looked up and saw Rimuru standing in front of him in his human form.

"You are all accepted. Call in the others," he told him.

"Yes, sir."

Soon after he left the tent to get his brethren Amaryllis looked at the slime.

"What are you going to do?"

"I have been thinking about it. I'm sure all he wants is to avenge his people now, even if he'll get killed. In order to make this decision as a leader he had to accept his own weakness which was definitively hard for him to accept. So I have to make sure that he'll never regret his decision," he explained.

"I see. How thoughtful from you," she smiled.

A few seconds later Rigur entered the tent along with the six ogres.

"Let me give you guys the symbolic proof of being my subordinates. I shall give each of you a name," Rimuru announced with a smile.

Everyone else wasn't as positive about this idea. While the ogres were shocked by his kindness, Amaryllis sighed while palming her face.

"P-please, wait. Giving a name comes with great risk. And to name such superior monsters-" the young ogre girl tried to warn him but Rimuru didn't listen.

"It's fine, really. Don't worry about it."

"But..."

Amaryllis stopped herself from commenting on his disregard of his own health.

'Maybe this will teach him how he shouldn't name others so carelessly,' she thought as she watches Rimuru name all six ogres.

As soon he finished naming them the slime collapsed and went into sleep mode. Everyone began to panic when they saw his slime body forming a puddle.

"Honestly, he always has to overdo it..." Amaryllis sighed.

She picked up the slime and put him on his bed.

"There's not much we can do except for waiting. Until Rimuru has fully recovered, I'll have to let someone watch over him again."

"Then I shall take care of him," the now named Shion declared and picked up the slime.

"Ah, how unfair. I think it would be best if I took care of Rimuru-sama!" Shuna said and tried to take Rimuru from her but Shion didn't want to let go.

Soon it turned into a tug of war with Rimuru's body stretching more and more. The other ogres watched on as the two females fought for the position of taking care of their new master. Suddenly the ogres began to feel a chill running down their backs. When they turned around they saw Amaryllis glaring at them with a cold and dangerous gaze.

"Enough! If you think I'll let you near Rimuru with such childish behavior then think again! If you can't be able to resolve your dispute, then I'll just ban you from coming near him again. Do you understand?" she commanded with a tone that dared them to contradict.

"Yes, mam!" they answered quickly.

"Good. You guys will probably evolve soon so make sure to visit Kaijin and the others for new clothes and maybe weapon if you need them. Now I have a few things I have to take care of. Rigurd, please take care of the village while I'm away and give them a tour of the village," she said and left the tent.

"Now it's time I give an old friend a visit after all this time..."

Amaryllis left the village and went into the forest. It took her a few hours to arrive at her destination but since she was a spirit she didn't need to take a break. Soon she arrived at a huge flower field with a pond. Sitting there were a few women who were making flower crows.

"It has been quite a while, Treyni." Amaryllis greeted when she walked towards them.

"Amaryllis, I see you have left the cave," the woman, Treyni smiled.

"Well, yes but you should have known this a long time ago didn't you, oh manager of the Great forest of Jura." the maiden joked and took a seat besides her friend.

"Of course, we dryads know everything that happens in this forest, after all," Treyni laughed.

"While I wish to enjoy our reunion with a more happy note but unfortunately, this time I have come because of a different matter."

"I understand. You have come to talk about the Orcs, right?" the dryad smiled sadly.

"My sisters and I are also worried about them. Right now we are trying to gather as much information as we can. Unfortunately the army is quite large and slow on the way. It will take a while until we truly know what their goal is. But I think you can already guess what is happening right now..."

"The Orc Lord, huh..." Amaryllis sighed.

"Yes, to control such a huge army while also supplying them all it can only be because an Orc Lord was born."

"It had been many centuries since the last one was born... The question now is, who was the one who created him..."

"We don't know it yet. If we know more, I shall inform you."

"Thank you. There nothing else we can do for now. With the speed the orcs are progressing with it will take a bit until another major attack. I have to wait and see what Rimuru will want to do."

"This is probably for the best. By the way, how are you these days? The last time we saw each other was when you left the cave for a bit air after saying there for so long with Veldora-sama." Treyni wondered.

"I feel contend," the spirit answered with a small smile.

"After Veldora-sama was sealed away I was truly afraid of the time when his magicule would have run out. Truthfully, I had already lost hope of him ever being free again. But then Rimuru has appeared and for the first time in centuries I was able to think of the future again. Though he is still not able to be on my side, at least now I don't have to be afraid of never seeing him again."

"I see. I'm glad To see you so happy again. I remember the last time we met you had such an empty gaze in your eyes... But I'm relieved to see them gleam with life again," Treyni smiled, happy for her friend.

"Me too... After meeting Rimuru I was able to experience so many new things. To be able to live among monsters, to meet new people and explorer new villages. I would have never dreamed that this was all possible."

"Then I have to visit your village once it is finished."

"Of course, I'll await your visit." the two friends smiled.

"I believe it's time for me to return. It is quite late. Rimuru should be awake now and there is much to do until the village is finished."

"You're right. Then let us meet again at another day."

"Yes. The until we see each other again."

The dryad sent her off with a wave and Amaryllis walked back home.

When she arrived back in the village, she saw Rigurd talking to the justice department leader Rugurdo

"Lady Amaryllis! Welcome back." Rigurd greeted her with a big smile when he saw her walking towards them.

"I'm back. Has Rimuru woken up?"

"Yes. Right now he's observing the young goblin children's training session with Hakurou along with Benimaru on the cliff.

"I see. I will go there. Continue your good work, gentlemen," she said and walked towards the cliff.

When she arrived, she saw her little brother along with the former leader of the ogres and the ninja. It seems the ogres have now fully evolved into Onis as Benimaru and Souei looked more human-like now.

"Rimuru, I'm glad to see you awake now," she greeted him.

"Amaryllis. I heard from Rigurd that you had to take care of something at the forest," the slime waved."

"Yes but it was nothing important. So what were you two discussing?"

"It seems like a group of Lizardmen are traveling around the goblin villages for negotiations. There is a possibility that they will also come here one day." the slime informed her.

"I see... Maybe they have also got the information about the Orcs and are now trying to get help from others... But it's not like we really know what they want without them telling us. The only choice we have is to wait and see if they will approach us." Amaryllis said.

"I think so too. Besides, we have other things to think of. The construction of the village needs to be completed soon. For now, it's better if we concentrate on that."

With the new evolved Onis joining Rimuru and his friends the village has gained new strong comrades, but along with them also came a new dangerous threat. Soon Rimuru will discover what kind of role he will play in this battle of the Great Forest of Jura against the army of 200.000 Orcs and their feared leader, the Orc Lord.

So, what do you guys think? When I watched Treyni debut in the anime I just thought that she would get along well with Amaryllis as I like to image that their personality are similar. Besides, she's the manger of the forest, so she must have known that Amaryllis was in the cave.

And I'm so happy that Benimaru and the others finally got their names! It got kind of annoying to always write ogre or leader or such. Having names are truly a blessing. (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

Reviews:

Toa Solaric: I'm pretty sure it's known that slimes don't have a gender, so she won't be surprised by it But I'm happy that you think so.

Ricc850: Probably if I'm finished with the main arcs. I'm thinking about a few fillers with how the village is progressing or with Veldora's view of this. As for an original arc, I'm planning this but this will be for later on.

CallmeCrazylol: I think he would be too afraid to stop her. (￣∇￣)

GunBlade2019: I know there wasn't much action for her but I believed that it was important to show the ogres how much stronger Rimuru was alone, so they could respect him even more. And thank you I will. d(_・ )

inFamousSlyMonkey: Of course this legendary scene with him checking himself out can't miss! d(_・ )

17Reshiram: Thank you. And don't worry there will still be a few times when someone makes her angry. *cough* a specific lizardmen *cough*

LuluRavenCrow: Thank you o(^▽^)o

AmbertheCat: Thank you. I liked your chapter too. And yes I have. They both were good but it was a bit boring for me when Veldora only recited what had happened in this season even though Episode 23 did the same thing. But I was glad that they did a filler for the Demon along with more scenes with Shizu.
