As they go to leave rimuru stops and says he needs to go to the room and grab his sword. He enters his room and finds it leaning up against the table. As he goes to leave he notices the wall was badly damaged.
"Huh. Wonder what happend there?"
"Notice. Milim is a wild sleeper. While you were in your sleep Milim threw her pillow at the wall. Also pushed you off the bed."
Rimuru laughs and grabs his sword.
"Lets hope no one heard it."
He goes to leave but then runs into Shuna. "Lord Rimuru. I have a question."
"Yea wassup."
"So... I heard some noise come from your room last night."
"Oh yea." he said nevously
"Shall we be expecting an heir to tempest soon?"
His face lit up "No no no! Its not what you think Milim just happens to be a wild sleeper!"
"Oh I see. Well you should get going Milim is a little impatient."
"Oh yea. See ya later Shuna."
Shuna bows as Rimuru takes his leave. As hes leaveing he thinks to himself "I hope no one else thinks that."
He makes it out to were Milim is.
"What took you so long slowpoke."
Rimuru laughed and apologized.
"Shall we get started Milim."
Milim nodded in agreement before taking her stance.
They both smiled as rhe began to clash sending shockwaves through the forest.
In terms of strength Milims far exceeds Rimurus but he is able to react fast enough and dodge thanks to thought acceleration and great sage. But he still cant land a clean hit.
The fighting goes on for some time before Rimuru finally lands a hit because of a mistake milim made. She instinctively jumped back and shot a beam at Rimuru. Her face went pale because it had more power then she realized and knew that Rimuru could withstand it. She tries to catch up to block it but she cant.
Great sage informed Rimuru of the danger. Rimuru didnt know what to do and asked great sage if they could use gluttony. Great sage says that it would increase their chances at survival. Also if they do survive it will cause him to go into a sleep mode because of the enormous amount of energy absorbed.
"I see. Lets go great sage."
Rimuru took the blast head on. He felt unimaginable pain in his arms as he began absorbing it.
He absorbed most of it before Milim caught up and redirected the rest into the sky. She looks at Rimuru and touches his face before he turns back into his slime form. She picks him up and rushes him back to tempest. When she makes it back she encounter Benimaru, Geld, Shion and Shuna. She asked if they know what is wrong. They ask her what happed and she told them about it.
Benimaru sighs and tells her "It appears that it appears to be a type of sleep like when hes out of energy nothing life threatening from what i can tell but he will be out for awhile because of the amount he absorbed."
Milim felt terrible and thought that they wanted her gone because of all the trouble she caused. She goes to leave before Shion stops her and asks "Lady Milim will you help me look over Lord Rimuru while he recovers?"
"Huh? You sure all I have done was cause trouble for him he pro..."
"Lady Milim we all cause problems at times." Shion says interruptin.
"Its mostly you that causes problems Shion." Benimaru said laughing.
"Huh. What ever. Come on Milim lets look after Rimuru together." She said with a smile.
This made Milim feel a little better so she agreed.
They took him back to his room and laid him in the bed.
Three days pass before rimuru awakes.
he awakes to milim sleeping while holding him in her arms. He chooses to remain quiet and still so milim could rest.
"Hmm. I wonder why I feel so different today. Must be my imagination. " He thought.
After awhile Milim wakes up to see Rimuru awake. She grabs him and hugs him tightly. He changes back to his human form to hug her back. They sat there for awhile without noticing Shion a little upset that she's being left out. She coughs to get their attention. They apologized for not noticing her. She agrees to let it go this time and she excuses herself to inform everyone that Rimuru is awake.
They sit in silence for a bit before Rimuru rises to his feet. He is thrown off a bit realizing he seems older in appearance. Milim notices this as well and wonder why it apears older but they ignore it for now.
"Hey Rimuru how about we go get something to eat."
"Yea sounds like a good idea."
They head out to get some breakfast but then Rimuru tells her to go on ahead because he has to talk to benimaru.
She was hesitant at first but agreed. She left but on the way out she ran into geld.
"Oh hey geld."
"Morning Lady Milim."
"What you up to geld?"
"Going to get some food from the diner then head off to work."
"Oh yea mind if I join while Rimurus busy."
"Sure Milim i allways enjoy your company."
Milim smiles and they set off to get some food. Meanwhile Rimuru was with Benimaru discussing charybdis. Benimaru informs Rimuru that Charybdis is moving faster then they thought and that they only have today before its arrival. Rimuru asks benimaru if he thinks they are ready for the upcoming battle.
"As ready as we can be. But we do have aid from the Dwarven kingdom coming to assist."
Rimuru is glad to hear that and proceeds to plan their attack. they set up the teams that will take on the meglodons and who will help with charybdis itself.
After awhile of planning he tells Benimaru to go inform everyone. They both take their leave and Rimuru heads to find Milim. He goes to the diner first but they tell them that her and geld went to the the construction area. They also tell him that she made sure to get some food for him. He smiles and bids a farewell and heads off to catch up with Milim.
He finds her rather quick because of how loud she was being. He finds her and geld playing with the goblin kids. Her and Geld are playing the villains and the kids were the heros. He laughs but lets them play awhile before interrupting.
When Milim notices she directs the kids at him saying hes the mastermind while laughing. The kids then tackle Rimuru saying "We got him!" They all laughed but geld said it was time for them to get to work and that they will play tomorrow. the kids wanted to play more but then headed on their way.
"So im guessing you and Benimaru have devised a plan for tomorrow." Geld says.
!"Yea you will be on one of the teams takeing on the megalodons."
"I see. Understood ill do my best."
"I know you will geld." He said with a smile.
Milim interrupted saying "What about me!!"
"I guess you can help Geld for now."
Milim was really happy she could help and jumped on Rimuru hugging him.
Well lets enjoy the rest of our day without thinking of that. They all agreed and headed their own way. Geld went to work and Rimuru and Milim went to go try new foods and new clothes Shuna made.
