Ch.4: Shizu

It's been a while since we came back from the Armed Nation of Dwargon and currently, I was waking up as great sage automatically turned off the sleep mode. I was in a bed and besides me was Shiro who was sleeping peacefully without care in the world. I thought of this beautiful scenery as if the most beautiful and cutest in the world. Seriously, how can she be so beautiful that it supposed to be illegal.

I sighed and jumped off the bed while making sure that I wouldn't wake Shiro. I bounced towards outside the house and the sunlight hit my body warmly, it felt nice to turn off my resistance sometimes. My mood was then replaced with shock, it was because I saw 3 giant brown spiders and many white spiders, helping the goblins with gathering foods and with the construction. <Notice: the giant brown spiders are called Greater Taratect and the smaller white spiders are called Horo Neia.> Greated sage said.

Then I saw Rigurd running towards me and stopped with a drift.

"Good morning, lord Rimuru!" as always, Rigurd greeted me.

"Hey Rigurd, what's up with those spiders?" I asked him.

"Ah, I'm not really sure myself, my lord. They suddenly appeared and help us in our jobs," he replied.

"Wait what? Why would they do that?" I asked.

"I apologize, my lord. I do not know," he replied.

I was looking at the spiders, then all of them turned to my direction and bowed down. I wonder why. They returned to their works and one of them didn't, it crawled towards me and stopped in front of me. I expected myself to panic, instead I felt nothing more than warmth.

"Good morning, father," the spider said.

""What?!"" Rigurd and I were shocked, not because of the spider spoke but because of the spider is calling me 'Father'.

"W-what do you mean by 'father'?" I asked the spider.

"You are mother's lover, are you not? That made you my father," the spider replied.

"M-mother?" I asked as I was wondering who's the spider referring to. Before the spider could answer, Shiro came out of the house I was in a moment ago. Did she woke up by my shout?

"... good morning Rim," she greeted me while rubbing her closed eyes. I was about to greet her, but the spider beat me to it.

"Good morning to you mother," the spider greeted Shiro. "Hm," Shiro replied to the spider with only that.

"W-wait... M-MOTHER?!" I shouted in shock.

"Ah, yes, She is our mother. Being her lover makes you our father," the spider replied. I was shock and confused at the same time. I turn towards Shiro, she just nodded in confirmation in the white spider's statement.

"W-what? really? How?" I was so confused by now.

"We are merely mother's clones that had our own ego, thus making us mother's children," the spider replied.

Rimuru took awhile to comprehend things and now he had calmed down a bit. He's still thinking while blushing about the spider being Shiro's lover, even Shiraori didn't deny it, so he also didn't.

=A day later=

Shiraori was walking around the town while carrying Rimuru, who's enjoying the warmth and softness of her breast. They observed how Gobta taught some goblins how to summon their wolf. Then they noticed Rigurd running towards them and stood straight in front of them.

"Is something up?" Rimuru asked Rigurd.

"Yes, sir! We received a message from Rigur and the security team. It seems they've discovered suspicious beings in the forest" he replied.

"Monsters?" Rimuru asked Rigurd.

"Humans...," the one who replied wasn't Rigurd, but Shiraori.

"You knew?" Rimuru asked her. She nodded as yes.

"Then let's go and meet them," Rimuru said.

Shiraori look at the greater taratect nearby. Sensing Shiraori's gaze, the spider came towards them. Rimuru noticed the spider and asked, "why is it coming here?"

"Ride," Shiraori replied. Once the spider arrived in front of them, Shiraori jump high and landed on the spider's back near the head.

"Stay safe lord Rimuru, lady Shiraori!" Rigurd shouted as the spider crawled towards the direction where Rimuru wanted.

Few minutes later, they saw a party of 4 adventures, 3 of them were watching the masked lady killing some giant ants. As the masked lady thought they were dead, one of the ants tried attacked her, she also tried to fightback, but her knees gave out causing her mask to fell off.

"Go," Shiraori said as she pointed out the former masked lady. The spider dashed towards the ant and made a barbecue out of it. The adventures looked up to the spider and saw Shiraori and Rimuru on her arms. Rimuru jumped off and landed on the ground, he picked up the mask and gave it to the girl who owns it. "Here, miss. This is yours, isn't it? Rimuru said while giving the mask to the black haired girl.

"A slime?" The girl with blonde hair asked. "Yeah, got a problem with slimes?" Rimuru asked. "Uh, no. We just never meet a talking slime before," they replied. "Um, thank you," the black haired girl said as she wore the mask.

'whoa, she's one of my destined one, isn't she?' Rimuru asked in his thought. <Yes> great sage answered. Rimuru invited them to visit his village to rest, Shiraori decided to jump off the spider and picked up Rimuru from the ground. She looked at the spider and said "go." The spider crawled away right after.

Currently, as usual Rimuru is on Shiraori arms as they went to a certain tent. Rigurd was standing outside the tent as the people inside argued with the foods. They entered and saw the guests mouths are full of food except the masked girl.

"Allow me to make introductions. This are our masters, lord Rimuru and lady Shiraori." Rigurd said as his hands are gesturing our direction.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Rimuru the slime! I'm not a bad slime!" Rimuru said making the masked girl chuckle. Also making Rimuru confirm that she also came from earth.

The guests introduce themselves as Eren, Shizu, Gido and the leader Kaval. They also explained the reason of coming inside the forest of Jura by the order of their guild master to investigate the forest.
