14 Chapter 6 Part 3

- Felix -

As Rimuru was showing us around, I saw a Lizardman approaching us, hmm now wait. It looks like a Dragonewt, could it be an evolved Lizardman?

"Rimuru-sama! I have completed the task you have assigned to me, may I ask who these three are?"

"Ah this is Felix my friend and his bestie Milim, that's Raiden,

"Ah, I see, those two must be Lady Raiden's subordinates, I could never mistake them being your superior, even though you are clearly trying to pretend to be their subordinate. Truly you ar–"

BOOOM

Ah, he got struck by lightning and punched in the face. Raiden was able to strike him with lightning quite gracefully, to the point she didn't even look like she did anything. Truly, Raiden has improved her Lightning Manipulation quite a bit.

And well, Saeko is Saeko.

That looks like it hurt, I bet he wishes he had Pain Nullification right about now.

"Ah Felix is this one of those Jumping moments? Can I join in?"

"No Milim, now isn't the time, I think this poor Dragonewt would die if you joined in."

"Aw man, that's no fun."

"Ah my apologies, My lord I lost control of my temper for a moment when he implied you were my subordinate, I won't let it happen again."

"Gah! How dare you insinuate that my master is someone's servant!"

"Ah, it's fine Raiden, Saeko, I don't particularly care, and he looks fine, nothing a good night of sleep shouldn't fix up."

Raiden looked at me as if I was Jesus himself, "Ah truly, your kindness shows no bounds." 

"And Gabiru is at it again, I would try to correct this issue of his, but I find these misunderstandings of his highly amusing, well so long as he isn't killed I can always heal him."

"Gah! I almost died, I think I saw my father on the other side! Truly though, Lady Raiden's grace shows no bounds! To go so far to defend your master! You are truly the peak of perfection!"

….

Ah, looks like he's smitten. Oh wow, for a second there I saw a look of deep disgust on her face, though she switched back to normal too quickly for anyone but Rimuru, Milim and I to notice. Poor Dragonewt, he never stood a chance.

"Ah! Good one Raiden! I would have beat him up too!" Thankfully Raiden already dealt with the Dragonewt, I don't want to imagine what Milim would have done.

"Oh no! Poor Gabiru, he just had his first crush and he already stands no chance. Anyways, let's get on with the tour." 

Rimuru showed us around Tempest, and boy was I impressed. Apparently those Dwarves we met at Dwargon were kicked out, so they decided to help Rimuru out.

He's also got the Orcs on manual labour, something they looked like they were made for, it seems he is also mass producing those elixir like potions.

I'm sure that won't have any sort of concerning global effects.

The food they have here is great too! They have rice, honey, and all sorts of modern food, though he hasn't cracked the code on Soy Sauce yet. Not something I really care about, I was American in my first life after all.

He is even having a place built for me, and boy does it look nice.

Umu, I can easily see myself freeloading here, it's basically paradise. 

Now Rimuru is showing us to the hot springs.

As we were walking in I was wondering if there was a way for me to change genders, then no one can deny me when I go to the ladies side.

'As a Daemon you are genderless and are capable of freely taking on any sex.'

Huh? For real? I wonder how I look as a chick? I must be hot as hell.

Hmm, now that I have a towel around me, how do I switch genders? Should I just will it?

Ah!

That feels weird.

But yes I do appear to be drop dead gorgeous, I would tap this. 

As expected.

I do some poses in front of a mirror, and damn, I would make a good model.

Ah well, time to join the ladies.

"Hey Felix, Come sit next to me!"

"Ehhhhhhhhh, that's Felix?!"

"Oh you don't recognize my sexy self, Rimuru?"

"Ah! Felix! What are you doing here! Why are you a woman?!"

"Daemons are genderless entities, we are neither male nor female, but pot calling the kettle black?"

"Hah! I'm a slime! I have no gender!" 

Shuna just giggled so that shows none of them seem to mind my presence here.

I take a seat next to Milim, Raiden and Saeko quickly sit at my other side.

"Now remember Rimuru, we are not Japanese school girls, and despite how Milim dresses she is not a magical girl, so keep the tentacles to yourself."

"Gahh!"

"Eh? What does that mean Felix?"

"Just something from our homeland."

After that the bath became quite peaceful, man it's been a while since I've been in a hot spring like this. And the eye candy is really nice. According to Rimuru the water flows straight from the source. 

Though I did notice Milim and Shuna staring enviously at Saeko's, Raiden's and my breasts, poor Milim, 2000 years old and still flat. Shuna still has time to grow though.

Once we finished up Rimuru escorted us to where we would be staying. Milim and I decided to share a room with Raiden and Saeko in the room next to us.

After that the days went by quickly. 

- Rimuru -

"Rimuru-sama."

He looked towards Rigurd, "Huh?" 

"It's about Lady Milim and Lord Felix, I never imagined that two beings of their power would ever come to Tempest."

He is right, both of them are super strong, Great Sage wasn't able to get a read of Felix's power either, "Yeah, but it should be fine, Felix said that he can keep Milim under control."

"Yes, but that's not the only issue Rimuru-sama." Hmm? Even Benimaru is concerned?

"The other Demon Lords will learn soon enough that Milim is staying in Tempest with her friend, this may make it seem like Tempest is under her protection. The Demon Lords keep a delicate balance of power, her supposedly having Tempest under her, will break that balance."

Is that so?

"In reality though, we can't do anything about it, we can't stop Felix-sama, let alone Lady Milim from doing what they want. From what I know of Felix-sama he would not do that, but it still makes many of us uneasy. The both of them are overwhelmingly powerful, Felix-sama was concealing his aura, but Saeko mentioned in the past that he spars with Milim often. To even be able to survive a few seconds in a fight with her is an incredible accomplishment, let alone being her sparring partner." Even Hakurou is concerned? Hmm, but Hakurou is right, if the two of them wanted to do something, there is little we could do to stop them. He knew that Felix wasn't like that, but his subordinates' concerns are valid.

"Your concerns are valid, but I have faith in Felix being able to contain Milim, he said that he plans to stay here for now so he will be an added layer of protection for Tempest."

"I see, we will leave it to you Rimuru-sama." Thanks for your trust Rigurd.

- Felix -

Quite a lot has happened during the last few months.

Carrion sent over some of his subordinates, it seems like he didn't just forget about the battle we watched, it would be odd if he did.

He sent over one of his three beastketeers, Phobio, one of his second in command.

He was quite respectful, likely due to Carrion warning him about me, though I could tell he looked down on Rimuru.

Oh well, not my problem, Rimuru has to earn other's respect himself.

The guy was delusional though, believing that Carrion was as strong as Milim, I couldn't control myself and ended up laughing in his face.

Thankfully Milim wasn't around at that time, if she was he would have gotten beat up.

He got quite upset at that and tried to defend his Lord's honour, I just told him to ask Carrion himself if he was as strong as Milim. Surely his pride wouldn't let him lie to his direct subordinate.

Still, quite the funny guy, especially when Carrion is weaker than me.

Anyways, Rimuru and Phobio started talking, it ended up leading to Rimuru asking Phobio to leave and ask Carrion to make a time and date for a proper meeting.

Phobio agreed begrudgingly once he realised all that Tempest could offer.

Once Carrion's subordinate left Rimuru had offhandedly asked me if I knew the reason another Demon Lord could be interested in Tempest.

It seems that he isn't aware of just what it is he is building here. He is easily creating Full Potions, he has great food, strong subordinates, and he has the backing of me, something I'm sure Carrion must have heard of by now.
