—End—

A few years after Rimuru Tempest, the demon lord of Tempest, defeated Velda. The world has now advanced into somewhat an industrial age. Technology powered by both magic and science is slowly advancing. Many scholars managed to make new inventions day by day. Although the world was saved from danger, there are always threat. One of those are threat from wild monsters. Overtime, the classification of monsters changed. The sentient monsters are now classified as inhumans, while the ones with no reasoning is classified as wild monsters. These classifications is by the decision of the Holy Empire Ruberios and the Monster Country Tempest.

Of course, monsters are not the only ones who have been classified. All living beings are researched and classified. Although magic is still in use, science is more prominent. Schools all over the continent are applying science into their studies. Not only will they increase the knowledge about the world, they also helped increase ones proficiency in magic. They are now at the age where information is power.

Now, students are studying hard to gain more knowledge. Because Tempest is at the center of four countries, as well as the fact that it's at the border of the demon lords territory, their school is the combination of knowledge from all countries. And that's why young students enroll here hoping to achieve some achievements. The school is called Tempest Academy, students enrolled from junior high school, all the way to college. Kindergarten didn't exist, because most nobility raise their own kids until they are coming of age. While the commoners went to the churches for education of their parents are unavailable.

And it was in this country that Tachibana Rika is reincarnated at. She is now a half elf girl with long black hair with a pair of golden eyes. She is now named Rina. She's an orphan who's parents had passed away during her birth. She has been living in Tempest's orphanage ever since.

Rimuru Tempest is the reincarnator who came from another world. He is born from the excess magicules from Veldora. After a serious of events he ended up becoming the leader of some of the monsters in the Great Jura Forest. And after a tragic event, he turned into a demon lord and become king of this now country. And then it was during the great war that Rimuru is also acknowledged as a hero.

That was the information Rina could find using her unique skill 'history record'. For about 13 years since her birth, Rina's been using her unique skills to gain knowledge. Unique skill 'history record' is a skill that allows the user to read past events that's been recorded in history. The condition is that, there has to be at least more than 10 people that recounted the event in order for it to be recorded in the unique skill.

Out of all the history, so far what's interest her is this country she lived in. So far she has been given simple education since her birth. She managed to learn the languages here easily, since they are close to English. But considering her past memories, she needs more form of entertainment. So far, computers has already been invented, though not that advanced yet, however the orphanage is not rich enough to buy them. And it was then that she learned of her unique skills. She most likely got them from before she died. Although she acquired a lot of skills, she could only recall 'history record' and 'clairvoyance', the rest of them she forgot. She decided that if she received another skill, she would do well to pay attention.

Ever since her tenth birthday, she decided to explore this country more. Starting from the capital city Tempest.

(This demon lord seriously has no sense of names)

Rika thought as she noticed that most architecture and places here is called Tempest. She's now sightseeing at the roads of Tempest. As she was about to walk home—

"KYAAAAaaa—!!!"

Deja vu, thought Rina as she noticed that this had happened before. As she looked behind her, she saw a monster appears out of nowhere. The monster looks like a six legged tiger, with black furs covering its body. It's rampaging in a rush towards Rina's direction. As she was not fast enough to react in time, she feared that she would die a second time. But as the tiger was 1 meters apart—

*BOOOM!!*

A small explosion occur and killed the six armed tiger. Rina was lying down on the road at the sudden turn of events, then she looked at the source of the explosion, and her face is filled with shock.

"Geez, where'd this guy come from?"

What appeared was a girl with a silvery-blue hair and a pair of golden eyes. She looks like the girl who saved that man's life. She thought that this was a coincidence at first, but just as she thought this she heard the whispers of the bystanders.

"Hey look, it's Rimuru Tempest"

"You're right, what's she doing here?"

"You know, like always, she's probably just sightseeing"

"The demon lord couldn't possibly have 'that' much free time. She must be busy with some sort of work"

The whispers continue as Rina figures out the identity of her savior. As she thought this, Rimuru approaches Rina.

"Hey. You okay?"

"...y-yes!"

Rina answers with a hint of nervousness. After all, she's within the presence of the king of this country. But more than that, what's she's most curious about is his appearance. There's no doubt that he looks like the girl who revived the man that got stabbed. As she thought this, Rimuru spoke.

"Well, I'll be going now. I've got business"

Rimuru said that as he walks away. After brooding for a couple of seconds, Rina decided to walk back towards the orphanage, which is by coincidence where Rimuru was headed a few seconds ago.

—XXXXX—

Rina soon arrived at the orphanage. This orphanage was first made to educate tribes of monsters, but soon became an orphanage after the increase of population. Rina has been living here ever since she was born. The orphanage director said that both of her parents are dead. Her father, who was human, died from a monster, while her mother, who was an elf, died due to an accident. Although Rina hadn't thought much of them, she still yearns for a parent figure since she missed her own family.

As Rina made her way to the entrance, she opens them only to saw a familiar figure talking to the orphanage director.

"Ah. Rimuru-sama, this here is the one named Rina. Rina, why don't you introduce yourself?"

The orphanage director said as she pointed at Rina's direction. As the director said, the familiar figure is non other than Rimuru Tempest.

"Oh. It's you. How are you?"

"F-fine. Nice to meet you"

Rina stuttered as she hadn't expected that she would meet him twice on the same day. As Rina was lost in thought, Rimuru approaches and ask Rina a question.

"So, Rina. I would like to request something?"

"W-what?"

"Would you like for me to adopt you?"

"...huh?

At that sudden request, Rina was made speechless. After all, even if she yearns for a parent figure, she hadn't expected a demon lord to be one.

And so this is the first, or more like the second meeting of two reincarnated otherworlders.
