All she could recall was fire, blood, and screams

they took something from her

it was unacceptable!

she felt no remorse as she tore down the kingdom

they deserved it in her mind

the only thing she felt was the rage and grief of her late friend.

"M..-l-..m..." something gently shook her. The person's touch was gentle. It made her ignore all her worries

"Mi-im "their voice was soft but confident it made her feel safe, something that she never received until a few weeks ago

"Milim, come on I gotta do my work now"

She slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed was the silver-blue hair and beautiful golden eyes that belonged to her bestie Rimuru

She beamed when she looked at him.

Of course! She should have known it was Ruru, only he had that extraordinary power to make you feel so protected

The slime studied at her, confused as to why she smiled so brightly when she saw him; the girl had fallen asleep on his lap after eating too much of that honey he offered her; she kept tossing and turning along with mumbling some strange bushwa that he, for the slife of him, just couldn't figure out

He moved his head to the side and asked, "you, okay? You sounded like you were having a bad dream" the demon lord frowned when she was reminded of her nightmare, but quickly nodded and grinned

That's right, she has Rimuru now! how silly of her~! there's no reason to remember such sad things when he's around!

"I need more honey!" she demanded with the most serious face one could ever have.

here in Tempest, she can be as carefree as she wants, she can forget her pain and sorrow, she can skip her duty, eat delicious food, and have fun without a care in the world, and no one would judge her, here she's free.

Her eyes slightly softened as she realized just what a precious and magnificent country her bestie had created. Greedy vermin would most likely take Tempest for themselves if they ever noticed how world-changing it could be. Her blood boiled at the notion,

She refused to let some rodents ruin her safe haven! her bestie's hard work would not only go to waste at that point, but the prospect of something happening to his beloved people... it would no doubt turn out for the worst... she wasn't even certain Rimuru could handle such losses...

"But you ate all of it!" Ruru replied, bringing Milim out of her thoughts. Oh yeah, that's right, she wanted honey.

Rimuru had sweatdropped at the pink-haired Dragonoid's demand. That's the first thing this girl says after taking a nap?!

Milim shook Rimuru's shoulders, "But I want more!" she yelled. There was no way she could have eaten it all! No, there had to be more! She was positive of it!

Rimuru turned back into his slime form and hopped out of Milim's grasp, albeit a little dizzy. "Okay, okay, I'll give you more honey," he said, giving in

Milim stopped and gave a victory smile, yes, she knew it! Rimuru was holding out on her with that enchanting sweet!

Rimuru sighed and took a bottle of honey out of his storage stomach, Milim grabbed the bottle and immediately started eating, 'she's going to run my personal collection dry if she keeps this up!' Rimuru thought as he watched the Dragonoid devour the whole thing

Milim closed her eyes contently as she ate another piece of honey, 'yes" she thought 'everything is perfectly safe and fun whenever Rimuru is around' and she hoped it will continue to be that way.
