Discovering Soul Connections of Destiny

"And that spot over there is going to become our first school building." Rimuru pointed at the spot with a group of children goblins being taught by one goblin woman.

"Hello, Lord Rimuru!" The goblin woman greeted and changed her expression to fear when she saw Iruma.

"Uh, hi." Iruma waved hello.

One goblin child flinch causing her to throw her apple away by accident and close to Iruma's feet, he saw she wanted to get her apple back but too scared because of him though he decided to this little goblin girl some kindness.

"Be right back." Iruma said before picking up the apple and walking up to the little goblin girl.

"Here, this is yours, right?" Iruma asked.

The little goblin girl hesitated at first though she looks up staring into Iruma's eyes which her inner goblin instinct is telling her that he is no threat to her, she got up and took her apple back and look at Iruma again with a smile.

"Thank you, Mister monster." The little goblin girl thanked.

"You're welcome." Iruma smiled back and he didn't mind being called a monster too.

"It would seem you're no trouble to us. My name is Ririna, please feel free to ask me for anything if you so choose." Ririna bowed, making her breasts jiggle in her revealing ragged clothes. Breasts size: F-cup.

"Huh, I'll consider that. Bye!" Iruma hurried back to his group.

"It looks like you're pretty good with kids." Rimuru complimented.

"Well, it's something I used to do." Iruma chuckled.

"Lord Iruma, why is your face red? Are you getting a fever?" Ameri asked noticing the red color on Iruma's cheeks.

"Oh, it's nothing! Nothing at all." Iruma answered quickly.

"(Oh, it looks like he is taking a fancy at a girl goblin consider he got some babes with him.)" Rimuru thought chuckled looking at Ghislaine and Ameri's figures.

"So, Rimuru, how exactly did you become leader of these Goblins and Direwolves?" Iruma asked.

"Well, it was over two weeks ago that I stumble upon them after getting out of a cave and they asked for my help when they sensed my power and asked me to help them take care of some Direwolves that were going to kill them." Rimuru explained.

"I see and judging from seeing the Direwolves working with the Goblins means you defeated them in battle, and they surrender." Ghislaine figured out the rest.

"Something like that, I helped the goblins to defend their homes and took down their leader which apparently made me the new leader and we've been working together since." Rimuru nodded.

"Wow, I'm glad things worked out for the best. Bet you're glad all your people weren't killed in the end." Iruma said petting Ranga's fur.

"Yes, we are grateful for Lord Rimuru to give us a chance to live this peaceful life." Ranga nodded, not being afraid of the boy anymore, though just a little.

"I notice how the goblins are working on construction of houses and such." Opera said looking around.

"That's because we got four dwarfs working with us to help make with the houses and some clothes too, they are really good with their craftsmanship." Rimuru explained.

"Oh, I think I'm blushing from hearing that." A dwarf chuckled walking up to them.

"Speaking of the devil, this here is Kaijin and he's a top blacksmith. The best." Rimuru introduced them to Kaijin.

"I heard that we got some unexpected and frightening visitors, and it looks like the rumors were right." Kaijin looked at Iruma's group.

"Hey, I'm Demon Lord Iruma Suzuki, but I promise we come in peace and don't want any trouble." Iruma greeted with a bow.

"Whoa! Never expect to meet a demon lord who bows at someone lowly like me!" Kaijin surprised.

"Okay, just stand back up and maybe slap yourself while you're at it." Kaijin joked.

"Okay." Iruma slapped himself.

"What the… I was only kidding?!" Kaijin gasped.

"Forgive our lord, he has a strong habit of doing whatever request someone may ask of him whether small of big." Opera explained.

"Sheesh, sounds like a habit that could get you into a lot of trouble." Rimuru commented.

"If only you knew…" Iruma exclaimed.

"Anyway, I just came to let you know that we just finished with the huts in that area." Kaijin reported pointing at the area he is talking about.

"Good to hear, continue doing a great job." Rimuru said making a thumb up.

"Come on, we'll go to my house." Rimuru said as they continue walking to Rimuru own hut.

"Lord Rimuru, thank goodness to see you are still alive!" One tall and muscular Hobgoblin called out to the slime.

"Hey there, Rigurd." Rimuru waved and turn to the others.

"This here is Rigurd, the goblin king and one of the first goblins I met when I came into this forest." Rimuru introduced.

"An honor to meet you, I haven't met a Goblin King in 300 hundred years." Opera greeted.

"Hello there, I was worried about one of our visitors is a Demon Lord and thought about evacuating the entire village." Rigurd said.

"Well, there's no need to worry. I promise." Iruma smiled.

"No way, so you really are a Demon Lord!" Another Hobgoblin surprised appearing behind them.

"Gobta, aren't you supposed to training the others right now?" Rimuru asked.

"We're taking a break right now and I wanted to see these invaders myself." Gobta answered and stared weirdly at Ameri and Ghislaine for their sexy bodies.

Iruma notice this and started to feel something strange in him as he doesn't like how this Gobta guy is looking at the girls funny that way, just one fierce glance suddenly sends shivers down Gobta's spine.

"What sort of training are you goblins doing?" Ghislaine asked curious.

"Check this out!" Gobta smirked and a few seconds later, he summoned his Star Wolf companion out from his shadow.

"Whoa, that was amazing! It just came out of your shadow like a ghost or something!" Iruma amazed.

"It is amazing consider I'm the one who invented this new skill." Gobta smirked and rubbing under his nose.

"That only happen because we accidentally forgot about him." Rimuru whispered to Opera.

"Gobta, would you mind helping me really quick?" A hobgoblin named Rigur called out.

"Be right there." Gobta said and said his goodbyes to the newcomers.

"I have to say, your village is quite unique with three different races living together under your leadership." Opera impressed.

"Well, I'm just doing my best to take care of everyone for protection and all." Rimuru chuckled.

"Anyway, why don't you two come inside and we can do more talk about certain topics." Rimuru gestured to his hut and hops off from Ranga.

"Ghislaine, Ameri, go have a look around this village and try to get along with them. I have a good feeling about this place." Iruma said.

"Just as long as they don't try anything then I think we can along just fine." Ghislaine smiled.

"Call us if you need anything." Ameri said with a small smile.

Iruma nods as he and Opera follow Rimuru into his hut as the little slime hops onto his own large pillow as the two guests sat on the guest pillows Rimuru had prepared, then Haruna came in giving them each a cup of drinks.

"I hope it's not alcohol, I'm still underage." Iruma hoped.

"Don't worry, it's just tea and Haruna made sure of that." Rimuru assured.

"Hope you enjoy yourselves." Haruna smiled and Iruma saw her E-cup breasts making him blush as she leaves.

"Okay, now that we're all alone. Let's get down to business, like for the fact that you were reincarnated to this world like I have." Rimuru revealed.

"Huh, you already know about that much, but how?!" Iruma gasped.

"Could it perhaps be a skill that lets you know things?" Opera asked.

"Yeah, the skill's name is Great Sage, and she holds the knowledge of everything like magic, certain creatures, and other stuff." Rimuru nodded.

"Wait a minute, you just said that you're like me? You were reborn into this world too?" Iruma asked.

"Yeah, probably in the same world as you though you probably don't know me. My former name was Satoru Mikami and I used to a normal human being." Rimuru revealed.

"It would seem you are not the only one who was fated to be reborn into this world, Lord Iruma." Opera said.

"Sure looks that way." Iruma nodded.

"So, how exactly did you end up here and became a Demon Lord?" Rimuru asked.

"Well, I was helping out this old lady crossing the street when suddenly a crazy man showed up and killed me with a knife in my heart." Iruma answered.

"Weird, I was killed in the same way, maybe not the knife in heart but still killed by a murder." Rimuru surprised.

"Huh, now that you mention it… It feels like we have seen each other back in our old world." Iruma said as he and Rimuru look at each other.

"Well, I lived a good life with a good job that pays well and let just say I was also a chick magnet if you need any advice on the ladies." Rimuru bragged and look toward Iruma making him blush.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Iruma muttered.

"You just lied about that last part." Opera said seeing right through that lie causing Rimuru to gasp.

"So, after you died, you met Veldora?" Opera asked.

"Yeah, I woke up in a cave at the mountain side until I bumped into the Storm Dragon himself, told me lots of stuff, and I ate him." Rimuru mentioned.

Iruma and Opera just look at the little slime monster shock when he said the word "ate" as the demon butler raise his fist emitting a demonic red aura.

"Wait, wait, I didn't mean it like that! I mean he is living inside my body for the time being!" Rimuru clarified freaking out.

"Oh, so he's still alive inside." Opera said.

"Yep, I used a skill call "Predator" to put him inside along with the barrier to help find a way to break that seal and set him free, it's a promise between best friends." Rimuru explained and just realize something.

"Oh yeah, I just remember Veldora mentioning about a friend he knew who would come visit him from time to time, and that's you!" Rimuru mentioned.

"Yes, I'm glad to hear that Veldora has found another good friend he trusts his life with." Opera said with his kitty ears up meaning his happy.

"That's really nice of you." Iruma complimented.

"Thanks, now what about you, kid? I'm sure you had a good life before." Rimuru guessed.

"If only I wish I could've lived a good life or anything kind of life at all." Iruma said feeling a little sad.

"At all, you had a tough time in school or something?" Rimuru asked.

"Not exactly, it's more like…"

Outside the hut, a couple of hobgoblins were walking by carrying some large pieces of wood.

"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!" Rimuru shouted in rage that frighten the two hobgoblins almost dropping the woods.

"I can't believe what I'm hearing! How could parents ever do that to their own child, forcing him to do hard labor work even as a toddler, doing dangerous stuff, and force to fend for himself!" Rimuru angered after hearing Iruma's life story.

"I agree with you, those two are perhaps even worst than demons." Opera commented with his kitty ears shaking in anger.

"They are so lucky I'm here in this world otherwise, I would have sentence them into a life sentence in jail!" Rimuru proclaimed.

"I'm not sure if they could get something like that, it's not like they actually broken any rules." Iruma stated.

"Are you kidding me?" Rimuru yelled making Iruma jump a little.

"They were abusing you like a damn tool, no concern for your own feelings at all!" Rimuru pointed out which Iruma can agree on that.

"And why hasn't anyone even mentioned any of this to anyone like the police?" Rimuru asked.

"I don't know really, guess they just didn't take pity on a kid and thought I just like helping out." Iruma shrugged.

"And that also explain about his habit of not being able to say no on requests." Opera added.

"But still, you're so young with full of life with a potential bright future and your fucking idiot parents didn't care one bit!" Rimuru said literally hopping mad.

"If I were your dad, then I would have given you a better life made sure that you would always be happy to do whatever you want when you feel like it!" Rimuru stated boldly.

"Really? If we were to meet back in that world, would really have given me such a life?" Iruma asked shock.

"Totally, I'm a pretty awesome guy once you get to know me more." Rimuru smirked.

"But have you ever been a parent before?" Iruma asked.

"Well, I was struggling with finding a girlfriend and maybe settle down with her, but that doesn't mean I would want kids of my own to help give them a good life." Rimuru admitted.

It was then that both Iruma and Rimuru suddenly had a flashback of their former life on earth, to the very last moment of their death where they saw each other, they gasp upon seeing that memory as they glaze onto their eyes.

"Whoa, I guess we really did meet each other in a way." Rimuru said.

"But what does that mean?" Iruma wondered.

"I believe it maybe destiny that was telling you two were meant to come together, that you share a connection even though you never knew each other until now, perhaps becoming a family." Opera stated.

"A family, one that is not with my parents?" Iruma asked.

"(Whoa, whoa, is this for real? We're both from the same world and died in the same way, and ended up being reincarnated in this world, I feel like this is too much of a coincidence.)" Rimuru thought surprised.

That's when Rimuru saw Iruma is on the verge of crying like something made him really sad or something amazing happened, this also made Rimuru feel like crying even though he can't do tears. And Iruma's demonic magic is bursting out all over the hut.

"Hey, what is going on!" Rimuru asked freaking out.

"(Answer: the emotions Iruma is feeling right now is causing his demonic magic to burst wild that could destroy the entire village if not careful.)" Great Sage explained.

"Serious, all this from what the red cat guy said?" Rimuru surprised.

"But if that's the case…" Rimuru looked up at Iruma.

"Well, what do you say, Iruma?" Rimuru asked getting his attention.

"Do you want to be a family together?" Rimuru asked softly and extend a small slime arm.

Iruma let out the tears again and rush in hugging Rimuru repeating "Thank you" dozens and dozens of times, Rimuru smile believing he is doing the right thing to help this kid grow up into his own man as Opera watches this touching moment smiling on the inside.

After ten whole minutes of crying with joy, Iruma finally calms down and Opera handed him a tissue paper.

"Thank you, Rimuru. You really made me happy, and I guess I should start calling you dad now." Iruma smiled.

"Do it however you feel like, it's going to be new for us, so let's take it slow." Rimuru advised.

"Speaking of which, would you mind tell me about how you've been adjusting to this world, son?" Rimuru asked.

"Sure." Iruma nodded and told Rimuru how he was reborn as a Demon Lord, his time with the three friends who are also his servants to now.

Later, Rimuru ordered to have everyone gather at his hut for a big announcement he wishes to share with.

"Okay Lord Rimuru, we're all here." Rigur informed.

"Lord Iruma, are we to be ally with this village?" Ameri asked.

"Well, it's more than that." Iruma said.

"Monsters of this village! I, Rimuru Tempest, have talked with the Demon Lord Iruma as we have decided to combine our strength together. Which means he along with those with him will be living with us from now on." Rimuru announced surprising everyone and cheer for their slime lord to make a friend of a Demon Lord.

"But that is not all for you see, Iruma is still a child who has recently been a Demon Lord for a few months and let just say he had a life before this which was really bad for any child to live in." Rimuru mentioned.

"Which is why I'm saying this that from now on… I have adopted Iruma as my son, and now dubbed Iruma Tempest!" Iruma revealed shocking everyone.

"It looks like they've been scared the life out of them." Iruma chuckled.

"Thank you, dad, I promise to do my best for this town." Iruma said holding Rimuru in his arms.

"And I promise you would have an awesome life. Whatever hardships we face, we'll face them together." Rimuru smiled and they look forward to the future together.
