Zzz…
Augh…
Rimuru groggily opened her eyes, and was met with a white ceiling. She stirred around for a bit, before sitting up, still dazed. Scratching her head, she wondered what happened yesterday. She looked down and saw she was covered with a blanket.
Noticing she was on a familiar sofa, she glanced around the room and saw that she was in her living room. Throwing the blanket off her, she stumbled to the bathroom. Rimuru blankly stared at herself in the mirror, she looked like a mess. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were red. She had a black tank top on and some shorts.
What happened last night…
Suddenly she felt the urge to throw up and quickly covered her mouth. She quickly kneeled in front of the toilet bowl and threw up. After a minute, she slowly stood up to brush her teeth. Finishing her morning duties, she headed to the pantry to cook some breakfast.
Ding Dong.
Hearing her doorbell rang, rimuru made her way to the door and opened it, revealing the red-haired ogre.
He kneeled down and said, "Rimuru-sama good morning". She panicked and quickly looked around, "W-Wait stop! Thats embarrassing".
"B-But-"
"Don't do it please?"
He slowly nodded, "As you wish rimuru-san", and stood up. While yawning, she asked, "What do you need?", scratching her head.
He said, "I have decided to accept your offer."
She clasped his hand, "Really?", and had twinkles in her eyes.
Surprised at the sudden touch, "Y-Yes, as long you promise to support us". She nodded furiously, "Of course, I will!". He smiled, "Then the deal is sealed, we will be waiting in the town hall for you rimuru-sama"
"Alright, I will after breakfast"
His eyes widened at the word breakfast, "Okay rimuru-sama", and began slowly walking off until he suddenly felt a tight grip on his hand.
"You're hungry aren't you? Come inside and I'll make you something'
He tried to walk off, but the grip was too strong, "I-I'm fine, I'm not hung-", his stomach let out a large growl. He turned around in embarrassment and saw rimuru smirking at him.
"Not hungry?"
He sighed in defeat and was dragged into the dinning room. She made him sit down and ordered, "Wait here, Imma start making the food right now." He began to salute but rimuru slapped his hand,
"Stop saluting me".
"O-Okay"
She headed into a hallway and a few minutes later she came out with eggs, stick of butter, and parsley. She grinned at him as she placed the ingredients on the table. Rimuru took an apron off a shelf and put it on.
"Don't worry it won't take long", she got out two pans and placed it on a stove.
Adding a slice of butter in, she broke the eggs onto the pans and whisked. The eggs turned from a white to a nice yellow color. Sizzling loudly, benimaru could smell the aroma of the eggs from the dining room. His stomach grumbled louder, demanding the food to be done.
After five minutes the omelet was done, rimuru turned the stove off and plated the omelettes. As she was carrying the plates, she asked, "By the way what happened yesterday? I don't remember much."
He froze mid-chew and suddenly had a flashback about the hotspring. "I-I also don't know anything..ahah!", and laughed strangely.
Rimuru raised her eyebrows at him before dropping the topic, and placed the dishes on the table. "Here you go, my original omelette". Benimaru gazed at the dish in delight and awe, the egg smelt delicious and was jiggly to the touch. The parsley garnish really gave the dish an enticing and healthy look.
Salivating, Benimaru took a bite of the steaming meal, and his eyes widened at how tasty it was. He quickly devoured the omelette in half a minute. As he chewed, he said, "This was so good rimuru-sama!".
Looking up and down at rimuru in an apron, he grinned, "You would be a great wif-" , but caught himself.
She tilted her head in confusion, "What? I didn't catch that". Benimaru panicked and quickly stood up, "Nothing! Actually I got to go now", he bowed and walked out the front door.
She glanced at the empty plate, "..That was quick.."
Twenty minutes later-
Rimuru swung open the wooden doors that led into the town hall. The ogres kneeled down as she approached them, reciting
"Good morning rimuru-sama"
She yawned, "Mornin', and plopped herself down on a stool. Rubbing her eyes, she scanned the room and saw all of them were gathered here.
Rimuru grinned darkly, "Now...what should I do with you guys...". The ogres worriedly glanced at each other, rethinking their choices. She shook her head, "I was kidding...geez you guys are so stiff".
Clearing her throat, the blue-haired said, "From now on you guys will be my underlyings, am I correct?". They all nodded in usion, the leader said, "We will follow you until we defeat the orc king".
She nodded in agreement to the terms, and they both shook hands to seal the deal.
"Nice working with you!...err"
The red-head said, "I don't have a name"
Rimuru was taken aback a bit, until realizing ogres were monsters too. She took at a peek the others ogres behind him, "You guys don't have names too?". He nodded, "We all are nameless".
The blue-haired began silently counting the group, moments later she said, "...Why don't I name you all?".
Everyone's eyes widened in the room. "W-What?". She was surprised at the reaction. "Uh..Did I say something bad?".
The princess stuttered, "N-No, that would be a great honor..but are you sure..?". Rimuru tilted her head in confusion, "I'm positive, but.. why do you look so worried?". The pink-haired warned her, "Naming a monster consumes alot of mana and really risky.."
She cracked her knuckles, and quipped, "I'm prepared for the consequences..! Let's go!".
The risk is probably me fainting like last time
She walked over to the leader first, and gazed at him in deep thought. The intense stare made him slightly uncomfortable, making him look away.
"Hmm...you're now Benimaru", he bowed and saying, "I am eternally grateful to you rimuru-sama".
She walked over to the princess who was twiddling with her pink locks.
"...I will call you shuna"
She jumped in glee and happily hugged rimuru.
Rimuru made her way to the assassin. Gazing up close, he seemed pretty handsome. "S…..Shoei, that will be your name."
He kneeled down, and uttered, "Thank you rimuru-sama". Besides him was the old man, he stood still as she analyzed his face. Rimuru stepped closer and touched his beard.
"You have a fine beard...Hakuro"
He graciously thanked her and said, "Thats a fine name, rimuru-sama",
She walked over to the purple-haired ogre, she crossed her arms and stayed silent while rimuru gazed at her.
"Hmm..you are shion", She grunted and kneeled down in gratitude. The big ogre was last, he stood there with a big grin,
….How about Kurobe?"
He happily clasped his hands together and said, "That's a great name rimuru-sama!"
She let out a deep breath, "Alright that's everyone right?". The leader nodded and looked at her in awe. Rimuru plopped herself onto a stool nearby, "Phew, that was more exhausting than I thought..".
She was breathing heavily due to exhaustion, and sweating. Her vision was starting to blur and she began slumping on her chair.
'Rimuru-sama?"
"...Alre..ady…?", rimuru fell off her chair and onto Benimaru's arms. The last thing she saw was everyone's worried faces staring at her.
Everyone quickly crowded around her in a panic.
"Rimuru-sama?!"
"No!"
Time-skip a week later-
Zzz…
.
Hm..?
.
Rimuru eyes flashed open to see a human looking at her from above.
"Ahh!", she shrieked and immediately jumped out of bed. "W-Who are you?". The lady seemed confused and said, "You don't remember me rimuru-sama? I'm shion." Rimuru scanned her face and features, she looked like a human except for the horn sticking out of her forehead.
She tried to remember back, "Shion?", after a few seconds she finally realized that it was indeed the busty female ogre. She was wearing an office suit and sported some glasses. "Y-You look different now". She smiled and responded, "Yes, since you named us we transformed from ogres to kijin".
Rimuru remembered how the goblins changed when she named them, "Ahhh, I see". She looked around and saw it was only them.
"Where are the others?"
Shion answered, "They are at the dining hall rimuru-sama". She picked her up "Let's go meet them shall we?" and they both went over to the dining hall.
Entering the room, rimuru saw the group sitting around the dining table, She recognized most of them except for one. Upon seeing rimuru, they all stood up and bowed, "Welcome back rimuru-sama".
She nervously responded, "T-Thanks", and bounced onto the table. She began to analyze each person. The first person her eyes locked to was a petite girl with pink hair. "You're shuna correct?" She smiled and nodded, "Yes! I'm happy you recognized me". The person next to her was an old man who wrapped a scarf around his neck, "Ah! You must be hakuro!". He nodded and bowed, "I'm honored that you remembered me".
She spotted a figure besides shion with a mask on. Rimuru approached the individual and said, "Take your mask off". He nodded and removed the mash, revealing souei. He looked the same, perhaps even more handsome than before. Rimuru's cheeks turned a pink tint as she gazed at him, "O-Oh, its you souei". He kneeled down. "I'm glad to see you rimuru-sama". She murmured, "L-Likewise", quickly averting her gaze at him.
Did he get more handsome?
She saw Benimaru standing near Shuna, he looked completely different from before. He was wearing a red robe and looked less muscular. He was handsome, same as souei. She asked, "You're a mage now benimaru?". He nodded and held a finger up to her, and a black flame lit up.
Her eyes twinkled with awe, shouting, "Woahh! That's amazing!". Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a middle aged man wearing a blue robe.
He was huge and stood near the corner of the room, wielding a giant hammer. Rimuru had no idea who this person was, he waved as he looked at her. She asked, "W-Who are you?", to which he said, "I'm kurobe rimuru-sama!". Her jaw dropped because he looked like a completely different person now. Rimuru was dumbfound as he chuckled at her, "I looked different do I?"
.
Different is an understatement, you look like another person!
.
She scanned the room to see if she got everybody, and her stomach suddenly let out a loud growl. Rimuru blushed as she realized she hasn't eaten for several days. "S-Sorry about that".
Shion's lit up in excitement, "Rimuru-sama, I can cook lunch if you'd like!". Seeing no problem, she agreed to the request and shion happily skipped to the kitchen.
She heard a cough behind her and a door creaking open. Turning around she noticed some of the ogres left, leaving benimaru, hakuro, and souei, who were sipping tea in the dining room.
Rimuru noticed their suspicious behavior and turned into her human form, asking, "Is something wrong?". They nearly spit out their drinks when they saw her walking towards them, trying to keep it cool, benimaru sputtered, "N-Nothing at all rimuru-sama! This tea is so delicious!". They all laughed in a strange manner, and kept on sipping.
A voice yelled out in the kitchen.,"Almost done rimuru-sama~!".
Souei promptly stood up and excused himself, "I-I need to survey the area", and almost vanished into the shadows if it wasn't for Rimuru holding his arm with a vice-like grip. She smiled at him and said, "Why don't you eat with us first?~"
He stuttered, "I-Its fin-", until the doorway to the kitchen swung open, revealing shion with a large bowl of food that she made. Shouei looked at her in horror before being forced to sit down by rimuru.
Shion plopped the bowl onto the table, which showed the slimy contents of the food. A foul stench filled the room and it seemed like there was a living creature living in it. Rimuru approached the bowl cautiously, "W-What is that..?", Shion grinned, "This is my special curry! I made it with lots of love!", and took off her white apron.
Rimuru looked back at the curry, and it seemed like the curry was emitting some kind of ominous aura.
T..This is curry?
She stared at the trio of ogres sitting at the end of the table, they quickly looked away and whistled. Rimuru bit her lip in annoyance, "So they knew all along?", and gulped as she looked at the horrendous meal.
Shion held a spoonful of curry over rimuru's mouth, and happily said., "Eat up!". The smell got worse as rimuru slowly opened her mouth. She swore something in the spoon was looking at her.
She moaned out, , "A-Ahhh…"
Somebody help me!
The door suddenly swung open, revealing gobuta. He strolled casually in and walked toward rimuru.
My savior!
He waved, "Yo rimuru, looks like you're awake", and looked at the bowl on the table. Gobuta's nose crinkled up and he swiftly pinched his nose as she smelt the odor of the curry. "W-What is this?!"
Shion turned towards him, "It's curry I made~ would you like some?", He slowly backed away, with his hands raised up, "N-No, please", before tripping on a loose board on the floor. As he fell, he kicked the spoon out of shion's hand.
He fell on his back with a thud, "Ow…"
"Gobuta watch out from above!"
"Huh..?", he opened his eyes to see the spoonful of curry fly towards him. Opening his mouth to scream was his fatal mistake. The spoon traveled into his mouth,
Gobuta frowned as he chewed, "Wait this isn't half ba-, before widening his eyes and collapsing again. Rimuru watched him as he turned into a purple color and foam started to come out of his mouth.
Rimuru stared at shion in disbelief, and slowly walked towards gobuta. He was on the ground, groaning in pain. She pulled the spoon out of gobuta's mouth, and walked towards the bowl to grab a spoonful.
Everyone watched her get another spoonful of curry to their shock. Shion happily said, Ÿou'll eat my cooking rimuru-sama?".
Rimuru smirked, "I'm not but-", and disappeared into the shadows. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Rimuru reappeared behind benimaru, before saying, "benimaru is!", and stuffed the spoonful of curry into the unsuspecting kijin mouth.
Benimaru eyes widened as he realized what happened, "W-Why...rimuru-sama..". During midchew he collapsed face first onto the ground.
"This is revenge for not telling me", she huffed as she walked away. Shion gloomily sat down on the table and her stomach growled loudly. She blushed as she looked towards Rimuru, who flashed a smile and said, "As repayment for the curry, I'll make lunch this time".
Hakuro looked visibly shocked, "R-Rimuru-sama...you can cook?". She nodded, "Mhm! I'm gonna cook a soup today".
She happily skipped to the kitchen, thinking of all the recipes she could use. Souei followed suit saying, "I'll go help". Shion on the other hand tried to get up, but she groaned as her stomach growled more.
Laying on the floor, gobuta was slowly dying. He was coughing endlessly, and his skin started to turn purple. HIs vision was slowly blurring,
"Is this it..?"
Before closing his eyes completely, he heard rimuru saying she was going to go cook, He weakly glanced at rimuru walking past him.
"Rimuru….cooking..?"
"..Apron..?"
Lewd thoughts rapidly filled his mind, causing it to overload. His head turned bright red and he quickly stood up. The poison seemingly left his body, for no apparent reason. Feeling like a new man, he marched into the kitchen with one purpose in mind.
Seeing her in an apron.
"..."
"Hmm.. looks we'll do this one", rimuru pointed at a dish in a recipe book. It was a french soup. She began prepping and asked, "Souei can you get the ingredients?". He promptly vanished and after a few minutes he reappeared with the needed items.
Rimuru took them and placed it on the table, saying "Alright you two help me". Gobuta's excitement turned to sadness as she handed him a knife and an apron. As he looked beside him, souei was already chopping vegetables. Sighing, he joined souei and began unenthusiastically chopping,
Rimuru grabbed a white apron in the cabinet and put it on, and pushed her long hair back. The apron really hugged the front part of her body, especially the chest part. She joined the duo in chopping the ingredients. Gobuta stopped cutting as he sneakily glanced at rimuru, his cheeks pink.
"Ow"
Souei raised up his finger, which was bleeding, He sighed and was about to get a band-aid, until Rimuru grabbed his hand, saying "Are you okay?".
He nodded and his eyes widened as she proceeded to put the finger in her mouth, and sucked. After a few seconds, she pulled her head back and saw souei's red face. She smiled, "There! It should stop bleeding!". To his surprise the bleeding stopped, and saw the cut was almost healed.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw gobuta slice his finger open intentionally. His finger was gushing blood, and he cried, "Rimuru I cut myself too". He could feel her intense cold stare at him, as she walked off. He was crushed, he looked at souei with a jealous fierce stare. Dumbfounded, souei shuddered as he felt a heavy aura next to him. Looking besides him, he saw gobuta looking at him with a scowl.
Souei perceived him of srunching his face in pain, Oh you cut yourself too?", he tried to grab his hand to suck the blood. Gobuta quickly pulled his arm away. "I'm good..", and trudged away.
After 15 minutes, they were done with cooking. The soup was simmering in the pot, emitting a pleasant aroma in the kitchen. She tested the soup with a spoon and decided it was good to go, and promptly carried the pot to the dining room.
The aroma made everyone in the room drool and stand up, as Rimuru placed the pot on the table, which showed off the steaming contents. Stomachs growled and soon they found themselves downing bowl after bowl of the soup.
"T-This is delicious!"
"You could create a restaurant rimuru-sama"
Rimuru blushed as she heard the comments, twiddling with her hair as she happily watched them eat all of it.
Meanwhile in the Lizard Kingdom.
A group of panicked lizards quickly ran into the throne room. They hurriedly bowed in front of the sitting king, saying "Your Majesty, there is an emergency".
He looked confused, "What happened?"
"During one of our scouting missions, we ran across a huge army of orcs marching towards our village".
The king scratched his chin, "Orc?". The scout nodded, "Yes, they are well-equipped with armor and weapons".
"Nonsense, the orcs are not capable of this" and said, "How many are there?"
"Approximately 75,000 of them your majesty."
"W-What?!", sweat started to form on his forehead. The lizard army only had 20,000 soldiers, only a third of the orc's army.
A lizard suddenly appeared at the doorway, "Are you seriously intimidated by the orcs, father?". He was clad in green scales, and wearing leather armor. "Pathetic"
A female sitting next to him stood up and scolded him, "Brother! Don't talk to father this way".
He stomped on the ground, "I said don't call me that, my name is Gabiru!". He folded his arms, "Orcs are orcs, it doesn't matter if they have a large number of troops, we'll crush them all!".
The henchman behind him cheered, "That's more like Gabiru!".
"Don't underestimate them too much, there's no way we could face 75,000 alone.", an idea popped into his mind, "Let's ask the surrounding villages for help".
Gabiru protested, "Father the only villages near, are filled with weak goblins".
He stared right into his son's eyes, "I don't care, ask them for help". Gabiru angrily muttered, "..This is why I'm more suited to be leader".
"What was that Gabiru?"
"Nothing"
He angrily walked off and disappeared behind the entrance door, his henchman following suit. The king sighed and sat down, saying, "What a reckless child.."
Gabiru grumpily hopped on a lizard and rode off into the distance with his henchman. "Men! Who do you think is a better leader! Me or my father?"
They loudly answered back, "You! Gabiru-sama!". He rubbed his nose proudly, "All right full speed ahead! We're gonna finish this quickly and go scout that army of orcs".
So Gabiru and his men quickly requested help at each of the goblins's villages. After hours of traveling they were finally on the last one.
One henchman said, "Looks like the village ahead is the last one gelmud-sama". The leader wiped his sweat off his scaly forehead, "Finally, I had enough of seeing those little weaklings".
The group approached the entrance of the village and was stunned at what he saw. The buildings looked tall and complex, and there were direwolves wandering around the area. Not one goblin in sight.
Gabiru muttered in awe, "Uhh...this is a goblin village right..?". The henchman peered closely at his map, nodding his head, "Yes! Gabiru-sama, this is a goblin village".
Gobuta saw them and made his way towards the entrance. Gabiru noticed how small the goblin was, and looked the same as the other goblins he had met.
Gabiru sneered, "Weakling, bring over your leader". A tic appeared on his head, "Don't worry she's coming".
She? That's unusual, I thought males were the leaders.
"Who is your leader?". The small goblin responded, "A slime, her name is rimuru"
The lizard scoffed, "A slime controlling the goblin village? Pathetic", and laughed in his face.
Rimuru was with Shuna who was teaching her how to weave. She was watching her weave a pink robe.
"So like this?"
"Yes! Just like that rimuru-sama"
Suddenly the doors swung open, revealing Souei. He kneeled down and said, "Rimuru-sama, there is a lizard man requesting your presence". Rimuru scratched her head, "Lizardmen? What do they want…?"
Souei said, "Their intentions are unknown, but it's unlikely to be a threat to you rimuru-sama. What shall we do?".
She slowly stood up, "Hmm..I'll go meet them then",
The lizard group began to make fun of gobuta. The leader sneering at him, "Hey fight me goblin".
A buff goblin suddenly appeared and stood menacingly. Gabiru glanced up and down, and noticed how muscular he was, definitely stronger than all the other goblins he'd seen before.
Intimidated, Gabiru stuttered, "W-What you want a piece of me?!" He stretched his arms out and his henchman and lifted him up. "D-Do you even know who I am?! My name is Gabi-"
.
"Oi"
.
Gabiru glanced down and saw an attractive woman with blue-hair gazing at him with an ice-cold stare. He jumped down from the formation and fixed his collar.
She coldly said, "What do you-", before widening her eyes in surprise after he kneeled down, and grabbed her hand. To her surprise he kissed it, making everyone cry in outrage.
She stood frozen in shock, meanwhile the men were trying to hold back with all their might from killing the lizard.
"Will you...please marry me?"
.
.
"Eh?"
.
.
