Rimuru pov
I shadow step a few feet behind the party I rejoined when they were turning the corner
"Alright has anyone seen that mask" the short blonde looked around
"I'm right here" as I stepped around the corner and revealed myself
The green haired elf bowed "thank you for helping us back here. But I have to ask what's your name"
"Rimuru tempest" as I introduce myself I quickly found out there names and backgrounds without them noticing.
"Good luck with the rest of your journey through" I say that as I turn towards the stairs and head up
"Woah woah woah slow down kid. Your gonna hafta give us more than your name. Why familia do you come from." the grey dog eared man said
"Hestia familia. Now if your done interrogated me I'd like to leave now."
"Wai-" just as the dog eared man was about to ask me more questions the green haired elf chopped him on the head
"I apologies for Bete's behavior. He's just shocked right now. My name is Riveria Ljos Alf. The short man is Finn captain of the Loki familia. That's Bete right there as the girl next to him is Ais wallenstein."
The two dark skinned Amazon's walked up and introduced themselves "I'm
Tiona and I'm Tione."
"As you can guess we're from the Loki familia. Now can you introduce yourself" Finn said
Ahh this is an annoying situation
"Fine. My name is Rimuru tempest. I'm the captain of the Hestia familia. Now then can I leave" I say it calmly but right now I'm frustrated
dammit this is an annoying situation
"Wait what. I knew Hestia got 2 new children but i didn't think their captain was you". Bete looked shocked by the news
"Forget it Bete your not gonna get anything more out of him" Riveria scolded Bete for being to nosy
"Well then since we're heading towards the surface you wanna tag along" Tiona offered this and I accepted it.
Might as well considering theres nothing left to do around here
I climb up the dungeon with these adventurer's and while we were travelling Bete asked me "what's under your mask. You've never taken it off when we were going up another floor".
"Why should I remove my mask" I respond coldly adding a bit of my demon lords haki into it
"Alright alright alright" Bete backed off on asking me anything else.
As we climbed up to the 6th floor almost to the 5th the surface the dungeon shook. Just then a wave of minautaurs spawned in around us and rushed the stairs.
"What the-" then I felt it. A familiar presence.
What's Bell doing down here.
I rush forward carving a path through the minautaurs and slaughter my way to the stairs. The Loki familia close behind me quickly killing the surrounding minautaurs.
When we got to the stairs there were already several minautaurs on the upper floors.
Dammit looks like i hafta kill all the minautaurs and then find bell
Using universal perception I find bell not far off and a minautaur chasing close behind
"Go Rimuru we can handle things here. Save the starters on the upper floors" finn gave me the order and I followed it.
Bell pov
When miss Eina began the lesson. I was forced to endure 5 hours of monster studying and learning the layout of the first 5 floors. After that miss Eina decided that practical experience was necessary. They gave me starter equipment and told me to explore the first 5 floors in my own.
Ah I wish captain was here.
Eina's tutelage paid off big time as I easily saw there strengths and weaknesses of each monster from the kobolds to the killer ants.
When the dungeon shook I looked around confused
What's happening.
Thats when I saw it. A large bull on two legs looking right at me. It roared and started chasing me
No way a level one like me could beat a minautar.
That's when I hit the wall there was nowhere else for me to go. Just when the minautar raised its club it was suddenly cut in half.
"Alright that's the last that breached the upper floors" Rimuru was looking around and then saw me
"Hello bell what are you doing here. Oh uh whoops" Captain as usual was nonchalant as always
Looking down I saw that I was drenched in blood.
"Here let me fix that" Rimuru raised her hand and proceeded to douse bell in water and quickly dried him off with a blast if air.
"Water and wind magic. The most efficient magic in terms of cleaning somebody. To bad it makes someone look like they were stuck in a current" said a bemused Rimuru.
I set my hair down to normal since captain left some water in my hair.
