The Dwarven King Visits
Planning took a while indeed, that Treyni was busy scoping for plants and materials Rimuru wanted for farming and construction, and it took a while for the requested architects to come over. Until then, the tribe lived in the cave.
'So it's all over now...' said Ellen in relief. They learned how the Orc Disaster ended using the forged story everyone made in Chieftain's throne room.
'Yeah. The problem now is that we gotta rebuild from scratch.' said Rimuru. 'Sooo until we build new homes, the kids will be sleeping on my cushion doubles...' she said as they glanced at the large, but flattened clone of Rimuru where the children squeezed in together.
Now that danger is over, Cabal's Party can finally go home. For Rimuru's safety, they also had to give a false story as to how Shizu ended. They agreed as they got the true story anyway, the problem was POLITICS.
The tribe salvaged what they could from the ruins of their village. For the blacksmiths, it was their tools and equipment. For the others, their tools of their trade that were thankfully, still usable.
In the meantime, Rimuru found said land, and left markers incase. She leveled down enough trees and atomised the stumps and branches, needing only trunks for wood she magically-processed for construction, and soaked the soil in enough magicules to grow hipokute. She even paved a clean path towards their new city.
'You can turn plants into Hipokute?!'
'Nope, not really...I just cultivated it.' Rimuru told the oni. 'Hipokute are said to grow in only magicule-rich areas because magicules cause non-toxic weeds and grass to mutate into Hipokute while toxic ones mutate into deadlier plants. That's something only Dwargon and now we, currently know. This way, even weeds are useful to us!' the tribe lit up, finding a now steady supply of valuable medicine by knowing how to obtain Hipokute.
They cleaned up the now empty lot that was now a massive Hipokute Patch, and the ladies processed the potions with Rimuru's help. To create a Full-Potion, they need to extract Hipokute Essence out of the herbs, and mix it with pure, magicule-rich water so Rimuru HAD to purify the water in the cave, before adding more magicules in!
And then the breakdown formula of Full-Potions downgraded to their marketable versions of Low and High Potions respectively.
To date, Dwargon can only create High Potions as they can only extract 98% essence off the herbs. They rarely get 99% or 100% that enables creation of Full-Potions.
'Well, using manual way by machine, doing that will be real hard so you have to rely on Skills or Spells to create a Full-Potion...' Rimuru would tell the women with a sigh.
Upon obtaining barrels of precious Full-Potions that are magically-sealed-until-needed by Princess, they all went home with the goods.
And now, Rimuru can name 84 oni a day into Kijin. But due to her partiality, the princess who is named Shuna, got 100000 from her. She was a B-Ranked Monster so she could protect herself as being a Tribal Princess, she's a target for attacks in the past.
By the time Souei was back with the needed guys, she could name the final batch of adults. There are 125 warriors in a village of 300. 102 named so far, with 23 warriors left that Rimuru must Name, along with the naturally-evolved Kijin as the Kijin she names are superior to naturally-evolved ones.
C-Ranked Oni cannot be named for the survival of their race, with the Kijin acting as protectors of their tribe's lifeline. They understand as without children, they have no future.
Koushiro made an edict that the Oni must pair up and at least, have six children, before they can be evolved by Rimuru into Kijin after contributing to the race's future. There are 175 oni left, be it young adults and children.
As for those named into Kijin? Train like hell once their city is finished building to protect the Oni. Their prides got severely wounded by Treyni's information.
The dwarves sent by Kaijin to aid them were the three brothers Garm, Myrd and Dord.
Gard specializes in weapons and armor, Dord specializes in tools and equipment, and Myrd specializes in construction.
Once they arrived, Rimuru utilized her knowledge. Because the Oni culture was leaning on Japanese, that, was her forte.
A large piece of paper and ink was already consumed by Rimuru to print out a blueprint of the town, to show how the city should look. Though she had to adjust to western sizes of rooms and heights of ceilings as the kijin are 'really tall'.
The dwarves were astonished at seeing so many kijin at once when their kind are 'incredibly rare'.
The orcs soon came now that the dwarves are here to help them out thus a construction and production boom began, after naming all of them except the children. The children are advised to witness the naming of their parents and elders as appearances may change and they might not recognize their elders had they come home looking different. She evolved them to High Orcs by the end of working days, batch by batch. Warriors first, before civilians. She gave American names to the Orcs. Like the Kijin before them, she focused on both beauty, strength and intelligence thus the Orcs got smarter.
Rimuru then taught all she knew about Japanese-Style Homes for oni and kijin with insulation techniques for temperature comfort during nature's worst. The Kijin who have small families naturally, have smaller homes but to be fair, same size of front and backyards. The Orcs naturally, have different style of buildings...as are Goblins who pleaded they too, want to live in the city for protection in exchange for their loyalty to Rimuru who was declared by Treyni to be Chairman.
Thus if Koushiro is Kijin King and Geld Goblin King, Rimuru selected the goblin who's ideal in personality as Goblin King with Great Sage's help in scanning all 40000 goblins, selecting a goblin whom she talked to for a bit.
He and six others were the survivors of a Direwolf Attack on their village, everyone else killed and eaten. They fled to join another goblin tribe who took them in.
Thus the Goblin King Rigur was born.
Thus to make the goblins useful to aid in construction and farming, Rimuru named them as well into B-Class Hobgoblins and Goblinas when normally, their kind are up to D-Class only. Just...B enough not to trigger evolution into Oni for now.
Everyone was learning new building techniques from Myrd on Rimuru's orders, while the dwarves learn different housing styles from Rimuru.
'You can plan buildings now?!' Benimaru gasped in amazement as in a makeshift council room were the dwarves, Geld and some high-ranking High Orcs, and the Kijin Council.
'Yup! I got all my memories back!' Rimuru decided to 'screw this, I'm going ahead now' because of their situation. 'I was a General Contractor before I died, so I work side-by-side with Architects and Carpenters.' she said. 'We basically oversee massive construction projects and coordinating everything so its required for us to have knowledge of building any type of building with materials since deadlines must be met by the demands of society as to NOT cause traffic obstruction as well as bothering people through construction noises...but thankfully, we don't worry about that here, so at least by NOT rushing things, we can put effort into quality of our buildings so they'll last us years before the next maintenance schedule!'
She also gave it her all in farming knowledge to ensure production of crops. Until then, all of them are reliant on Treants' graces with Treant Fruit.
Moreover, the fruit being magical, it does not rot no matter how much time passes. As they learned later from the dwarf brothers, this fruit is sold as a rare ingredient called Dried Treant in human markets. It's really hard to find and can be sold for a large amount of money.
The reason for the price is its abundant magical energy. Just one fruit can keep you going for seven days, without feeling hunger.
What is this, Senzu Beans off of Dragon Ball?
The similarity between these foods is that they stay fresh FOREVER. Well, technically forever for the beans if not planted, that is! But the difference between this fictional and real food is that a whole Treant Fruit can keep you going for seven days while an iddy-biddy Senzu Bean can last you for ten while also fully-healing a person of all ills and injuries.
Treant Fruit can only sate a person for a week. Its superior to the bean in terms of satisfaction in both scent, taste and texture, while a Senzu Bean may taste like a typical bean while having better effects and lasts longer.
Having anyone capable of Shadow Travel, including Souei and herself, lugs all the cargo from Point A to Point B. Each citizen thus has a stash of fifty fruit each, and everyone understood that the stash granted to them must last until harvest day of planted crops in the farms.
Thus each person has 350 days worth of food, totaling almost 11 months with their granted rations.
The longest a crop can take in growing, is several months in cases of grains. But in a magicule-rich land like Jura, that duration is slashed off by 1/4 and the grains are double the size which was a welcome change when she analyzed with Great Sage before planting everything Treyni found that matches Rimuru's requests though she analyzed all of them before planting. The farms are organized by growth rate.
Human crops they got such as grains, leafies, roots, spices and culinary herbs mutate in Jura which is the thing, but thankfully for good. They dubbed it 'monster crops' as a result. Growth time is cut off by 1/4 the time, and are bigger. Some change in appearance and some change through quality of taste and texture, be it raw or cooked. So they really have to adjust, big time. The Oni and Kijin are long used to the flavors and textures of fast-growing crops they favored but Rimuru decided to include slow-growers due to their new neighbors and versatility is good change too, because being given free Treant Fruit won't last forever. The more the better.
What was native to Jura were what human world doesn't have. Medicinal Herbs, and this world's version of Rice, Mushrooms, Soybeans, Coffee, Tea, other asian goods she knows and Chocolate. Sugar, they can obtain through trading anyway. Sugar has to be grown in an equatorial climate, so that means they'll be relying on honey for a long while...through a Bee Monster Rimuru met and Named when going around.
The thing about Monster Rice is that its BLACK. Then again, wasn't black rice in vogue among health enthusiasts in Earth? But just as sweet and chewy!
There's also an ideal source of silk. But they compared the species, and Rimuru chose Gehenna Moth Silk as it was superior in quality compared to Hell Moth. They also searched other sources, the human equivalent of cotton, linen, hemp, etc.
Food Crops aside, they would cultivate these too. For now, they're reliant on silk and fur...which is very high-class, by the way. Just not sustainable enough.
Not just homes but also many, many production facilities...as well as city interior designing and entertainment areas and such...and an Aqueduct for water flow for daily use, as well as flushing toilets and sewage system.
Creating an ideal city aside to keep everyone happy, a solid government must also be built...so who does what?
'For now, Benimaru, Souei and I will go back to Dwargon to keep mining Magisteel.' said Rimuru. 'We do need to arm everybody!'

'Man, after y' took all that trouble to set it all up, I bet its killin' ya that a new Demon Lord wasn't born huh?' Laplace spoke to a man facing outside the window while he lounged at the couch.
They set things up as nobody knows how a Demon Lord is born. All they know is that they gain power through a lot of deaths in their wake to gain immense power. So it was quite the project.
'Yes...but I did get to see an interesting sight.' the man turned to look at Laplace, amused. This man is the Demon Lord Ruler of Jistav, Clayman. He dresses in white, stylish suits to match his lavender-ish silver hair and red eyes. He is a Deathman Elf. 'Now what shall I do about that Slime?'
Yeah, that slime-girl, Laplace thought. She's powerful to produce magic circles that causes 'veldora-heads' to chow down on whoever's unlucky enough to be within the circle. She was also capable of defeating Orc Disaster by herself from what he witnessed. She went from child to adolescent. She seems to 'age' based on how strong she is. Until they can determine the full-scope of the slime-girl's powers, they can't move yet.
She was already so powerful as a child, she even gained Geld's power thus becoming stronger. How far can that go, Laplace wondered. She was also cruel enough to crush Gelmud's sacks and feed him to Geld as revenge for the troubles he caused the forest.
'Well, good luck to ya. I can lend you a hand for cheap.' Laplace offered as he stood up and bowed. 'Demon Lord Clayman.' and he poofed out of existence. Clayman snorted in amusement. Yeah right, that's just a mere slime, he wouldn't even need his hand held against such a creature. Bah!

Since construction began...things are peaceful for now.
Because Rimuru never met the King, only dealt with Kaijin, Gazel never knew of the existence of a budding monster city, though he was aware of the Orc Lord's existence but not much else news as nobody can get information yet. Kaijin never said anything even if he was loyal to Gazel thus Kaijin was the only one who knew the truth about what's going on and it was he who lent his workers to the Oni.
Cabal's Party never said anything either except to Fuze with whom, after much deliberation, was allowed to know the full truth about Orc Disaster, but NOT about Shizu. Thus Blumund was able to sell the information with big money and profited. So it took a while for everyone living near Jura Forest to know that Orc Lord is dealt with by Jura's Residents themselves with four tribes allying over one enemy. Oni/Kijin, Tempest Wolves, Lizardmen, and Goblins.
After that, the united front dissolved, everyone going home, though the Oni Tribe had to rebuild as their village was destroyed no thanks to Gelmud, a Majin who claims to serve a Demon Lord. Gelmud was going around Jura, naming Monsters he fancies in hopes of powerful pawns, but he was so weak he can't evolve them even after Naming them.
He only lucked out with Orc Lord because he was close to evolving in the first place all he needed was a 'small push', according to his son when the Orcs regained their sanities once the effects of Starved was over when his father the Orc Lord was killed. The Orcs, remembering all they had done under the effects of Starved, seeks to atone for the troubles they caused, thus the United Front decided their sentence.
Cabal's Party knows because they lived with the Oni Tribe for safety while the Orc Lord was around and they don't want to risk their luck. Three of them against an army? Really? The mixed Oni/Kijin Tribe let them refuge with them for safety and were treated well. They also didn't mention Rimuru...who named them into Kijin...because Rimuru didn't wanna deal with the fallout if she, a Monster Namer was known to exist, and evolving monsters left-and-right.
Kaijin believed it wasn't that big of an impact anyway as the oni are a good warrior race. So when Blumund released information, he just went 'Meh.'
However?
When Gazel found out about the news Blumund spread, he sent a spy to locate and gain information anyway...
The Spy took a month to find a development going on. Monsters were doing labor in building...a freaking CITY as a large amount of land was cleared!
Gazel read the lengthy report a month later, which marks the end of the second month of the city's development.
Three tribes cleared a large amount of land for farming and city-building. The farm being near the Ameld River.
A Slime Girl with immense power clearing the land for construction room and has a...very unique way of logging. She even creates paper by swallowing literal tree trunks and spits out a pile of paper! She also creates Hipokute out of grass and weeds for the womenfolk to harvest before the menfolk can do the construction work. Men from two tribes were doing all the building and the farming! The womenfolk were doing the cleaning and cooking, and looking after the kids. Where the Hipokute went? The ladies process Potions in Veldora's Cave as what else can be made out of Hipokute. The spy has no idea what kind, as he has no idea how they sense intruders and such. He can't risk himself.
The scale and development of which, was far too sophisticated it may as well be a human city being built, just inhabited by monsters. Development was too fast without compromising quality as the work ethic should be a model example for humans.
They hired a trio of three dwarves called Garm, Dord and Myrd.
They just supervise construction and teaching the men how to build and craft better while making clothes and shoes for everybody. Three races of Oni and evolved Kijin, Orcs and Hobgoblins were co-existing peacefully. The large wolves in the city hunt and patrol...and playing with children.
Sometimes, the Slime-Girl called Rimuru sings during dinner, making music out of her body as music can be heard FROM her body, music no known instrument can make and all her songs are stuff no musician in their world has ever composed. She sometimes sings with two voices, imitating a man's. And ALL monsters in the budding city, are all NAMED!
Though while children are understandable, some Oni remain unnamed unlike their stronger Kijin counterparts. Orcs are now High Orcs, and Goblins became Hobgoblins for men, and Goblinas for women. All are somehow beautiful while menfolk are 'impossibly good-looking with chiseled muscular bodies' while retaining their racial characteristics.
The spy bet his career on the Slime Girl Rimuru as the Namer as she was the strongest in the city in terms of magicules. However, in terms of leadership, she answers to the Kijin Individual named Koushiro and has a very child-like personality but clearly, responsible in doing her share of jobs. She goes around in human form but sometimes bounces around as a slime, playing tag with the kids.
Heck, they don't even have a working government! There's no hierarchy whatsoever other than tribal kings. Koushiro the Kijin King, Geld the Orc King and Rigur the Goblin King. He reckoned that's just for formality regarding the strongest of their kind thus are representatives of each race. Since everyone is of the single-minded goal of building, and production activities. Building homes, making potions, clothing, furniture and home decor, tools and equipment, swords out of magisteel and armor out of monster parts, etc...
The monsters seem content about just building a new home after they lost theirs no thanks to Gelmud directing his manipulated Orc Army troubling everyone else.
Gazel thought long and hard about this.
After building a monster city, the question 'and then what?' worries him.
If the matter isn't handled carefully, even Dwargon for all its development, won't survive an attack from a city's worth of Named.
Upon tracking down the background of the Dwarves hired, he summoned Kaijin to reveal all he knew about the Slime...who was in fact, a Reincarnator Otherworlder who remembers mostly songs, and the one who saved the career of his men by healing them. She was in possession of mythical Full-Potions! She had also saved his career by giving him 'one hell of a magisteel supply' when Gazel had ordered all craftsmen to craft 20 magisteel longswords per workshop. So as repayment for saving his men, he lent said men when Souei asked him for reconstruction help because of Orc Disaster Incident.
Kaijin was also the one who revealed to Benimaru and Souei what Rimuru is, clued in by the music and song she makes...which doesn't exist here. She was child-like in nature but memories will return slowly, but surely.
He had discussed this with his council and decided, 'I'll see this developing city with my own eyes.'
Thus one morning, he mobilized his Pegasus Knights with him at front.
Thus that same morning, Souei reported anxiously. 'Chieftain, we have an emergency.'
'What is it, Souei?'
'Several mounted Pegasus Knights are headed this way.'
'Maybe they're just passing by?' Rimuru asked warily and clearly hoping that was the case.
'I'm afraid it's really this way.' this got everyone concerned now. 'They are dwarves from Dwargon Kingdom.'
'Ehhhh?!'
So the Council of Kings rushed out to see just what the heck is going on with Hakurou, Benimaru and Souei coming along.
'Father, what should we do?' Benimaru asked his father who sighed.
'For the sake of our progress thus far, I'd rather we avoid conflict if possible.' said Koushiro as the knights landed. 'If worse comes to worse, we evacuate the town.'
Upon landing, Gazel eyed the assembly who are all dressed TOO well...his keen eye recognized SILK!
Silk is expensive and these guys can wear it so...so...casually?!
'I am the King of the Armed Nation of Dwargon, Gazel Dwargo.' he introduced himself. 'Who is of the highest authority here? May I speak with them?'
Because of how Naming works that the Named see their Namer as a God as any monster becomes amazingly grateful to the one that have named them, the instinct of the monsters present was to look at Rimuru who meeped because they looked at her at the exact same time which was creepily-uncanny!
Rimuru groaned.
Because she was not used to Political Leadership, she was taught and trained by Koushiro as the laws of the Naming changes things. Literally.
And so...at Koushiro's Residence...
Monster Leader Rimuru may be, but she was still living with Souei's Family out of preference. So Koushiro's Family has a literal estate to live in due to their status. The Kings must live in Estates, so incase Geld and Rigur marry, they're all set up!
'So you're named Rimuru Tempest. That's an Equal Naming isn't it.' Gazel mused because of the nature of Rimuru's name. He was with his War Minister and Captain of the Pegasus Knights, so he wasn't alone while Shuna served everyone tea. He came here to see with his own eyes a new budding culture that came to be after Orc Disaster.
'Yes. Well, that guy was really lonely that he was OK with naming me but in terms of equal status, I had to come up with a Family Name.' Rimuru explained. 'He liked it and he gave me my name after. Due to what he was, Tempest was the only cool-sounding one as the rest sounds downright dumb.'
'Tempest...' Gazel thought of names related to it. It has everything to do with bad weather. And she was a really young slime who was born around the same time Veldora disappeared. 'Storm...and judging by the timeline, you came to exist around the time Veldora disappeared...don't tell me...'
'Ehehehe...' Rimuru looked sheepish now as many eyes bulged as they came to the same conclusion as Gazel and they all were horrified.
'That eccentric monster who named you was Veldora-sama himself?!' Rigur squawked. Rimuru began twiddling her fingers now... 'But why did he disappear?'
'Well I sorta made him a promise, but to make it work, he has to temporarily cease to exist.' several jaws dropped.
'What promise can that be?' Koushiro choked out. 'You made a promise with Veldora-sama of all people?!'
'Mm. He took care of me so why not?' came Rimuru's usual innocently-ignorant reply. 'He's a nice, but shy guy so despite how he looked and how loud he could be, he was increasingly less scary as hours went by when we talked. Being a slime I can survive his presence when nothing else did so he was really lonely.'
The monsters and dwarves had trouble imagining THAT.
'So I made him a promise. With my Great Sage, we can pull it off. It'll take a while though.'
'W-what promise is it?' Gazel asked nervously, wide-eyed in dread.
'Oh, he'll be free from his prison of course!' they all went white with shock. 'It'll take a while, but by combining his Skill and mine, we can do it!'
'Er, you do realize freeing him is the same as causing a literal storm to happen, right?' Gazel choked out in horror. 'The world will feel his return just as how we all felt him disappear months ago!'
'Yeah, we both know that, so we're also figuring out how to help him restrain himself while safely letting loose.' said Rimuru. 'He may have temper tantrums as a result of pent-up power he had to release or go boom which is even worse, but out of all dragons, he was the kindest too.' she said as they had trouble imagining that. 'He was indeed, protecting the west from the east by creating this fertile forest and a landscape impossible for an army to cross. Life began being possible here within this natural barrier as well. This forest was born through his power as well.' she told them. 'He's also kind to a mere slime like me. Its what made me decide to help him.'
'Rimuru-sama...' Shuna croaked out. Rimuru was loyal to Veldora with good reason.
'Does that mean you can convince Veldora not to be too explosive should he return?' Gazel asked Rimuru anxiously.
'Its either that or another Hero comes by to imprison him again, so he'll definitely work on it...' Rimuru giggled. 'He says the past three centuries were lonely and boring.' the monsters and dwarves exchanged anxious looks. 'Veldora is living inside my Skill for the time being, teaming up with Great Sage.'
'Er, can you bring the Sage out? We'd like to ask it a few things.' Hakurou asked her.
'M'kay.' Rimuru closed her eyes and in place of her gold eyes, its now red.
'Report. Great Sage is active for ten minutes.' Rimuru got stronger now when before, it's only three minutes possession! The dwarves choked at the sudden change!
'Great Sage, how is the progress of Veldora-sama being freed from his prison?' Hakurou asked the skill.
'Notice: progress has been 20% and ongoing. However, the Individual: Veldora feels no need to rush. He is taking pleasure in browsing through Master's memories so he is in no hurry to leave any time soon.'
20% is already a huge deal and it's just over three months since he vanished from the world! The progress is THAT fast?!
'How come?'
'Master regained her memories upon devouring Orc Disaster.' Great Sage played along with Rimuru's plans. 'He wanted to know what her former world was like and entertainment. He thinks its like its him traveling to her world by looking at her memories.'
'Can you project to let us see Rimuru-sama's world somehow?' Shuna requested.
'Acknowledged.'
They're now in an illusion of Tokyo. They're all above the city, thus seeing the city before they're suddenly on the streets with so many people walking around. And a sample of Rimuru doing her job as a Contractor.
Next is a school for children...school for elementary, junior and high school...and college...
Adult Nightlife...Entertainment...places to go for a vacation...
'...what is Veldora-sama currently looking at now?' Benimaru wondered.
'Proceeding to play...'
And Great Sage played a movie of The Grudge and at the scariest part among several jump-scares that made them all scream and swear. The movie shook.
'Sonovabitch, what is that?!' Souei sputtered as the sight scared them.
'A horror show called The Grudge. The show shook a little because Veldora screamed in fright just now.'
They have no idea what to say to that...
'Master watched this show when she was fourteen years old, she could not sleep alone for a month after, usually crawling to her brother's bedroom. And before that, watching The Ring scared her for a week.' Great Sage deadpanned and that reveal stunned the monsters. 'Her country of Japan has many supernatural beliefs and myths, particularly focusing on grudges coming back as malicious spirits bent on revenge or killing simply because they can. So many shows were made focusing on this genre.'
'R-riiight...so Veldora-sama is watching horror shows...' Rigur sweatdropped while calming down his poor heart. That, was HORRIBLE!
'Yes.' they were back at the guest room now. 'He's still insistent on exploring so he will take time.'
'...should we be relieved?' the war minister choked out. Veldora's taking his time because he wanted to know Rimuru's world.
'That depends on you though.' said Geld.
'...last question.' Souei asked Great Sage. 'Given what we know of Rimuru, she would rather avoid trouble if she can help it. She was too kind to have enemies.' he said. 'What caused her death?' Benimaru squawked at Souei's question.
'She was murdered one morning by a mugger who stole her purse and ran away with it, while going to work.' Great Sage showed how Rimuru died in her past life. But nothing about her skills. 'She was going to cross the street...when it happened.' and they saw the crime occur.
'Oh my god...' Shuna squeaked, horrified as they gaped at who Rimuru used to be, an adult woman who was dying in broad daylight, murdered for her purse! A knife was still sticking out of her back, and blood was already flowing out of her in fatal levels. 'It's normal to be killed over a purse?!' she cried in horror.
'Its a common crime in her world.' said Great Sage as the scene vanished. 'Victims of hit-and-run are usually workers who work in wealthier districts with high-paying salaries like master herself. She earns the equivalent of 5 star gold a month as an example. Many more like her get killed once a week at average and it can happen anywhere, any time without warning thus nobody knows when its their turn to be murdered.' that was a terrible prospect. 'This is also, disastrous to family members who rely on them as family main breadwinners. Master's parents still work, but retirement is imminent, so they mostly count on master and her brother.'
'Horrible...' Geld choked out. They were shaken.
'Time duration is over. Switching control back to Master.'
'Rimuru-sama, where did you go when Great Sage took over?' Geld wondered while Rimuru looked absolutely terrified.
'Veldora that dumbass, he's watching The Grudge!' Rimuru shuddered, arms around herself. 'Its been a while since I last watched it...I ended up with him in my Isolated Dimension at the scariest scene that scarred me for a few weeks! I can't even sleep with a blanket!'
So that's where she went...
