Bonding Time of Future Reincarnated Family

Just as Rimuru asked himself the question if he had seen those three human adventurers before, Great Saga comes in answering the question.

"Answer. They are the trio you saw in Veldora's cave." Great Sage mentioned also showing him the memory of seeing those three entering the cave.

"(Right, the idiots.)" Rimuru thought remembered now.

"How's the food? You guys seem to be enjoying it." Iruma asked.

"Yeah, it's really good! You guys must've done some hunting to get meat this good, but I'm shocked about this weird heating item you got here." Vierra answered excitingly.

"This kind of reminds of me the stove we have back at my homeland, the chef would cook the food in front of the costumer as they wait for the meal to be serve just right." Sango mentioned.

Rimuru looks over at Shizu seeing that she is eating her meal without having the need to remove her mask, which is something Sango notice too.

"What technique is that? It seems similar to something I heard ninja use to eat their meals quicker without removing their mask." Sango asked.

"It's just a little something I learned during my adventuring days." Shizu said.

"(Boy, this girl got skills to do something like that. I'm already feeling kinky.)" Rimuru thought giggled a little, then flinch a little when he noticed Shizu is looking his way and becomes a little nervous.

"I hope you know how generous Lord Iruma is being, allowing you humans to stumble upon our home and eating the food we have. You better say thank you as well." Ameri scolded.

"Hey now, Ameri. No need to be harsh towards them, they know we don't mean them harm now." Iruma tried to calm his red-haired girlfriend down.

"Well, we are surprised to see a bunch of monsters welcoming humans into their home, but we are grateful, and you have our thanks." Sango bowed.

"(Wow, this girl certainly knows how to be polite.)" Rimuru thought interested in this girl.

"So, Iruma, was it? You're really a Demon Lord?" Kaval asked.

"Yep, you could have I'm a newbie in the long run or something like that." Iruma answered honestly.

"Oh yeah, and my dad here is also the leader of the entire goblin village after helping them and all." Iruma gestured to Rimuru.

"Sheesh, how many more surprises are we gonna experience until everything is said and done?" Eren asked shock as the others are.

"(They seem a little overwhelmed. Can't say I blame them for meeting a Demon Lord probably for the first time and a talking slime that is the leader of a Goblin village.)" Rimuru thought noticed how some of them are a little nervous.

"(I need to figure out how to show them I'm actually friendly.)" Rimuru thought tried to think of a plan, then got picked up by Iruma.

"No need to worry, I promise we're not gonna hurt you." Iruma said with a smile.

"We just want to live in peace like you humans do, and maybe become friends if you're okay with shaking hands with claws." Iruma stated.

"(Aw, Iruma wants to calm the tension down like me. That's my boy.)" Rimuru thought smiled.

"Oh, you should hear this joke dad did when we first met." Iruma held Rimuru a little closer to them.

"Well, if you insist." Rimuru chuckled blushing a bit.

"(Whoa, even a slime can blush. Who knew?)" Vierra thought surprised.

"Nice to meet you, I'm not a bad slime. Slurp." Rimuru greeted with the joke, and it seems Shizu almost laugh besides Iruma.

"(Hold up, did she understand that reference?)" Rimuru thought wondered.

"Forgive our rudeness. It just that we thought we were done for back there, and we never expected to be rescued by a monster and a Demon Lord. Thank you so much." Kaval thanked bowing to them.

"Yeah, and thanks a lot for feeding us too. Everything's really delicious." Eren complimented.

"Glad to hear the meat hunt are suitable for you humans to eat, though to me all meat looks the same." Ghislaine said.

"Which is why I keep telling you to be careful of what you eat." Opera scolded the cat woman.

"We appreciate your hospitality. The last thing we expect to find here were a bunch of Goblins building a village with a Demon Lord and apparently other monsters." Gido said.

"Yeah, this is something I'm experiencing a lot as a first-time adventurer." Vierra smiled.

"Well, I hope you take this experience until death." Ghislaine smirked.

"(Are you trying to freak her out?!)" Rimuru thought gasped, but then noticed Shizu is being quiet.

"Now, I believe this is the part where you ask us questions about why we were wandering in the forest." Sango said.

"You are correct about that; humans don't come to this forest often even for adventurers." Opera nodded.

"Well, our boss, who is this cranky old guy, ordered us to come here. And it was just three days after we investigated the cave where the storm dragon, Veldora was imprisoned." Kaval started to explain.

"(I see, it looks like the humans are taking a little more action of this than I thought.)" Opera thought troubling in their minds.

"We came here to see if there have been any suspicious activities with the monsters though to be honest was originally going to be the three of us." Kaval said.

"Just the three of you?" Ameri confused.

"I came along by chance because I just recently joined the guild and the master, Fuze suddenly puts in the party to get the experience I need when I go on jobs." Vierra explained her reason of being here.

"And you, Sango?" Iruma asked the other girl.

"My reason is different because I come from another continent, I was tasked of hunting down a demon that hurt my homeland and killed any lives of humans and monsters alike." Sango revealed herself.

"A demon, huh? Are you sure it's a good idea to let you go all alone then bringing some extra muscles?" Rimuru asked.

"Other Demon Hunters like myself are needed back home to help repair the damage that has been done and to help the people feel at ease, it was my idea to come here alone so there aren't many strong warriors like us around." Sango explained.

"(I see, they would be stretching their numbers thin and weaken their defense if anything were to happen.)" Rimuru thought nodded.

"How long have you been searching for this demon?" Iruma asked.

"I believe I started around a month or two ago, I was lucky to have met Vierra along the way at the town." Sango answered.

"Okay, then what about Shizu?" Rimuru asked curiously.

"She's not a permanent member of our party, she's tagging along with us because we were going in the same direction as her." Kaval answered that question.

"Well, as you can see all we're doing here is building a goblin village. So, uh, you don't think that'll be a problem with the guild, do you?" Rimuru asked.

"Wait, why would it be a problem to build a village?" Iruma confused.

"It's because we're monsters, most humans only see us as some nightmare beings to take out to decrease our numbers and some don't even believe we humans can think and act on our own either." Ghislaine explained gripping on her arm a little tighter.

"But there are times when humans notice the monsters aren't going against humans, so they intend to leave those monsters alone. So, I believe it shouldn't be a problem though it depends on the entire country." Opera stated.

"I'm not sure if I'm following." Iruma said looking confuse.

"No worries, Iruma. We'll figure it out." Rimuru assured before turning back to the adventurers.

"You guys can stay the night if you want. Our village is your village." Rimuru offered.

"Thank you so much." The party group thanked.

"In that case, would you mind preparing a tent or two for them to sleep in?" Iruma asked Opera.

"It shall be done, my Lord." Opera responded with a slight bow.

"Excuse me, sir. By any chance, are you a demon yourself?" Sango asked Opera.

"I am, do you want to know if I'm either a male or female?" Opera said with a little tease.

"(Even now, I still can't figure out his gender.)" Rimuru thought weirded out from this.

"No, I was wondering if you know of this demon, I'm after or maybe you heard of him." Sango clarified herself.

"That depends on who this demon is." Opera said.

"Have you heard of a demon named Baal?" Sango asked.

Suddenly Opera's eyes widen with their tail standing up in shock along with the sudden pressure feeling that everyone can feel for a moment as Opera looks shaken like something frighten them.

"Opera, is everything okay?" Iruma asked freaking out a bit.

Then Opera quickly calms themselves down from his shock expression.

"Forgive me, it just I have not heard that name in a long time. About one hundred and fifty years." Opera said.

"Was this Baal the same guy who cursed formed Lord Derkila to die?" Ghislaine asked since she hadn't joined Derkila at the time.

"I'm not quite sure, the mage who cursed Lord Iruma's predecessor was a mage with the name Baal and he was human mage." Opera explained.

"Maybe he turned himself into a demon. I heard it happened before." Ameri mentioned.

"Perhaps, but I'm not sure since I haven't heard any word about him." Opera said and turns to Sango.

"Forgive me, but I do not have any information about Baal as of late." Opera apologized to Sango.

"Well, it was worth a try, but at least I learned something about Baal, now I just need to figure out where he could be." Sango stroked her chin.

"You should take it rest for the day, have a look around the village if you like." Iruma suggested.

"I think I will, would you mind showing me around?" Sango asked the young Demon Lord for the tour.

"Sure, no problem." Iruma said of his urge to not say no.

"Oh, I'm coming too!" Vierra raised her hand and finish eating her plate.

"I want to see what this monster village is all about!" Vierra excited as she joins the two.

"We're still going through some construction, so you might not see much." Rimuru informed.

"We shall company you as well." Ameri said as she and Ghislaine quickly follow them.

(Later)

Iruma has shown the two human girls everywhere in the village including the instruction of the dwarf brothers witnessing their crafting skills, and the girls are impressed with how the goblins are working together to make their home strong and suitable for them to live on.

"I have to see; this village is quite amazing or nothing else." Sango complimented.

"Yeah, and everyone here has been so nice to us. This is totally a cool village!" Vierra jumped in joy causing her breasts to bounce.

Iruma gasp blushing of seeing this as he tries to look away despite the image already being in his mind, then his eyes saw Sango's big breasts causing him to blush a little harder.

"Is everything alright, Lord Iruma? You seem kind of down." Ghislaine asked.

"No, no, I'm totally fine. It just I haven't been with any humans since becoming a Demon Lord." Iruma stated.

"Huh, you mean weren't a demon before?" Sango asked a little more.

"Not exactly, it's complicated to explain. But to be always I like this new life and I wouldn't trade for anything in the world." Iruma smiled.

"I see, then I will not ask any further." Sango smiled back.

"That's good to hear, I guess now I can feel at ease knowing a human can be trusted if Iruma truly believes they mean us no harm." Ameri nodded with her arms crossed under her breasts.

"Hey, Iruma!" Rimuru called out as he bounces toward him and the girls.

"(Oh, so cute when he's bouncing like that.)" Vierra thought squealed.

"I was heading over to Shizu to have a little talk with her. Wanna join me?" Rimuru asked.

"Sure, I don't mind." Iruma nodded before saying goodbye to the girls.

"Tell me, were you girls trying to become his lovers from you use your body to seduce him?" Ameri asked the two human girls who became shocked of the question.

(With Shizu)

Shizu is seen standing on top of a tree with a single tree looking at the sunset with the color of the sky being now yellow, orange, and red together.

Then Iruma came flying in with Rimuru in his arms.

"Hi, I hope you don't mind the company." Iruma greeted as he lands next to her.

"We wanted to ask you something. Um, are you from—" But before Rimuru could ask the question, Shizu spoke.

"That line you said. It was from that game, right?" Shizu asked confusing the two boys.

"I'm not a bad slime, slurp." Shizu repeated the words Rimuru said making him chuckle.

"You know the game?" Iruma asked shock.

"I never played it, but I heard about it from someone else who's from my country." Shizu explained as she took Rimuru from Iruma, holding him up to her chest.

"(Yeah! I've been closer to boobs way more as a slime than I ever was as a human dude. Talk about your perks.)" Rimuru thought excited blushing.

"Tell me, are you two from Japan as well?" Shizu asked.

"Yep." Iruma and Rimuru answered at the same time.

"I see, I'm glad I met you two." Shizu smiled.

"It was kind of a bit obvious your Japanese, there was your name and the way you were sitting back at the tent." Iruma pointed out.

"Oh my, it seems you know your stuff better." Shizu giggled.

"Well, I used to work at a hot spring resort, so I know a few things." Iruma remembered his days in the hot spring resort.

"So tell me, how did you two come to this world?" Shizu asked.

"We both die in the same world and the same way, but I died very heroically." Rimuru answered.

"That's terrible." Shizu shocked.

"I came back to life as a slime while Iruma here was brought here by a spell of the Demon Lord who died." Rimuru explained.

"Yeah, apparently he wanted a good boy to be his successor or something." Iruma added.

"I see, you two must've had a difficult time on this world." Shizu said petting Rimuru.

"Was it different for you?" Rimuru asked.

"Yes, a little bit. I'm what you called a Summon." Shizu revealed herself.

"(Summon, Opera told me about that when I first came to this world.)" Iruma thought remembered learning about Summon.

"So, when were you summoned to this world?" Rimuru asked.

"A while ago. There was fire, the town was burning." Shizu descripted of how it was for her.

"A war?" Rimuru guessed that it might be from around World War II.

"Bombs were falling from the sky." Shizu mentioned which Rimuru figured it is World War II.

"My mother and I tried to get to safety, but then she…" Shizu paused as the memory became a little painful to talk about.

"What? Did she make it?" Iruma asked, but Shizu shook her head meaning no, then Rimuru got an idea.

"I know. Do you wanna see something cool?" Rimuru asked.

"Huh, like what?" Shizu confused.

"Iruma, prepare to be mind blown by your old man." Rimuru excited now confusing his adopted son too.

"(Great Sage, I'd like to use Thought Communication to show Shizu and Iruma some of my memories.)" Rimuru ordered.

"Commencing." Great Sage activated the skill.

Suddenly Iruma and Shizu felt something is entering their minds and now finding themselves in a weird stary space as the Demon Lord boy is freaking out.

"Don't worry, Iruma, you just seeing the memories in my head." Rimuru calmed his son down.

"Oh, okay, we're looking at your mind. That's not freaky at all." Iruma said shaken a little.

Then they saw a computer which shows a digital screen of an elf and suddenly her clothes are fading away leaving only her underwear.

"An elf?" Shizu confused.

"Don't look! It's not what you think, I swear!" Rimury panicked that Shizu is gonna think he's a pervert, and Iruma might think he's weird.

"She's very pretty." Shizu complimented.

"But why are her clothes disappearing?" Iruma asked.

"Ignore that and look at this instead." Rimuru hurried show Shizu and Iruma through the knowledge he has on after World War II.

Shizu became amazes of how much Japan has changed since that time before her summon, and now she sees the country has become very bright.

"It looks like New York city." Shizu said.

"You've been there?" Iruma asked.

"No, but I saw it on a postcard once." Shizu mentioned.

"After the war ended, peace came to Japan. The towns and economy all flourished." Rimuru explained.

"That's great, I'm so glad. I wish my mother could've seen this." Shizu smiled.

"It maybe a long shot, but I wanna make this a world where everyone can live in peace too." Rimuru revealed his goal.

"That's a cool goal, dad. Can I help?" Iruma asked.

"Of course, and I know it'll happen." Rimuru believed.

Suddenly Shizu groan in pain causing her to drop Rimuru and the Thought Communication ended as both boys become worried of her.

"Are you okay? Something wrong?" Iruma asked.

"I'm sorry, but I'm fine. Thank you." Shizu assured before putting on her mask.

"(She says she's fine, but it doesn't seem like it. I'll need to ask Opera about this.)" Iruma thought worried.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

Iruma and Rimuru have gotten to know more about Shizu being from the same world as they were and that she came from the near end of World War II, but now there is something wrong with her that could be dangerous for everyone and herself.
