They awake to a cough. Rimuru was unsure of who the three in front of him were. He recognized two of them being the ones who attacked the town awhile ago.

Milim jumps up quickly

"Carion! What are you doing? I told you not to interfere!"

"I know Milim but I have come for my subordinate."

"Huh?"

Rimuru realizing who this is stands up and confronts him.

"Ah I see so your the one who sent them."

"Yes I sent them. But not to force you under me I assure you. Those were never my intentions I will punish him later. If he's still alive."

"I see. Don't worry he's alive."

"I appreciate that if you ever need anything I'll gladly assist."

"In that case how about an alliance with me?"

"Hmm. An alliance."

"Yea we can both benefit from this if you really think about it."

"Alright I accept."

The treaty between them was formed. They talked about many things like trading and other things. Carion insisted they hammer out the details later cause milim was looking a little irritated from being excluded from the conversation.

They make it to tempest where benimaru has Phobio on a bench. Phobio jumps up and runs to Carion kneeling.

"I'm sorry lord Car..."

Before he can apologize Carion slams his face in to the ground.

"I'm not the one you should apologize to."

Rimuru was stunned.

"I apologize on his behalf ill make sure to punish him properly later."

Rimuru laughs nervously. "Yea don't go to hard on him."

"Well we will take are leave now I do apologize Rimuru."

"It all good just make sure you remember that we're allies now."

Carion bows and leaves dragging Phobio.

Rimuru sighs in relief thinking "I'm glad this is over now I can focus on spending time with Milim." He turns to see Milim spacing out. He grabs her attention.

"You ok Milim?"

"Huh? Oh yea I'm ok."

Rimuru wonders what she could be thinking about.

They begin walking back home to get something to eat. Milim thinks to herself "I wonder what freys up to I haven't talked to her in awhile. I should visit soon."

They make it to the diner for lunch. Milim decides to tell Rimuru that she's gonna go visit Frey for a bit. He's concerned that he messed up somewhere.

"Wait Milim did I do something to hurt you?"

"Huh?! No Frey is a good friend of mine and I just wanted to check up on her."

She leans in close makeing Rimuru blush.

"Don't worry your all mine I'll be back." Then kissing him and then takes her leave.

Rimuru is left speachless for awhile but Benimaru snaps him out of it saying they have a meeting he must attend. They then head for the meeting.

As Milim flies to Freys place she screams out in embarassment thinking "Why would I say something like that." Her face lights up brighter then ever. When she arrives she finally calms down. She lands and takes a deep breath unaware of Frey already standing there.

"Oh hey Milim I was about to come look for you."

"Huh. You were?

"Yea I wanted to ask you something important."

"Yea whats up Frey you know we're friends ill help whenever you need me."

"I need you to help me clayman."

Milim was confused.

"I can't explain just yet and I know you and Rimuru are together and I dont want to separate yall."

"Seperate? He would help us I'm sure. Not that i need help to deal with Clayman."

"He can't. Clayman will notice if Rimuru helps. He will need to be clueless for this to work. And if you attack him my life will be in dangee."

"I see so I can't tell him? How long will it take?"

"I don't know but I really need your help." as she begins crying.

"I understand Frey."

"Thanks Milim."

She tries a little longer before slowly calming down as Milim embraces her.

"Don't worry Milim while I get everything set up you can spend all that time with Rimuru ill take care of everything else."

"Ok Frey just let me know when to come help."

They sit there for awhile until Frey stands up and thanks Milim again.

Milim smiles and says "Until then be careful Frey."

Milim is about to leave when clayman arrives.

"Oh hellomilim it's good to see you."

"You as well clayman."

"Your quite a rare sight now adays what have you been up to."

"Just messing around like allways any way got to go cya."

She takes off back to tempest. She's worried about Frey but she knows she can't act right now.

"For now ill just have faith in Frey and wait.
