Chapter 32 Plot will resume in the next couple of chapters, don't worry.

I am once again asking for your fina-

*Cough*

I am once again inside the Japanese styled house I made. What am I doing you ask?

HAHAHAHA!

Why do you even need to ask? For I am living my life the way I please.

Specifically, I am on Mikoto's thighs.

After a while, Mikoto gradually began to feel less and less embarrased about carrying me around and hugging me. At least, while I'm in my slime form.

I once transformed back into my human form while I was being carried around, and let me tell you, Mikoto did not like it. I had to sleep on the couch. Why? I don't fucking know. We sleep in separate beds in separate rooms. Why did she force me to sleep on the couch I have no fucking clue, and why I even let her force me to sleep on the couch, I don't know either.

I'm joking. But she really didn't talk to me for a while after that.

Anyway, it's been a couple of days since I first experimented with my human form and my skills. Since then, my days were spent half of the time in human form. The majority of that time was spent eating. Since I'm a slime, I don't ever feel 'full' from eating too much, so I can eat endlessly. That, combined with [Creation], let me constantly make and eat as many meat buns as I like.

Yes, I live solely on meat buns now. Fight me.

Anyway, Mikoto practically lives with me now. This house is the only thing that can be considered 'modern' so it's a source of comfort for her. I understand it, after all, I would find it difficult to live without any proper showers or toilets if I were still a human.

We do spend our days outside, however, and only hang out inside if there's nothing really exciting going on, like feasts the goblins hold and the like.

Although my food is good, there's this certain charm to the roasted food hunted and prepared by the monsters. I can't wait until Shuna gets here so we can REALLY pick up the cuisine culture.

Speaking of which, should I save the ogre village?

… Yeah. But not now.

Procrastination.

Why not now? Because, as I said, I am currently enjoying Mikoto's thighs.

Rimuru- "But still, you finally stopped getting embarrassed at holding me like this, huh?"

Mikoto- "Oh be quiet."

Mikoto hugs me closer to her chest while resting her head on me and pouting.

I just chuckle. My body is really comfortable to hold, it's soft, springy, bouncy, cool, smooth, and many other things. I sometimes make a replica of myself with [Enhanced Replication] and hold it with my human body.

I experimented with it a bit and gave the replica me to Mikoto because I wanted to see if there was a difference.

Apparently, there is.

Mikoto- "It's just… not the same…"

… Or so she said. Fuckin RIP, I'll never be able to experience what it's like to 'truly' hold my slime body.

Oh well, at least Mikoto's thighs are top quality stuff. It's a bit of a shame that her chest is a bit lacking. If only her lands weren't plains and became mountains, that would make the whole experience better.

*Spark*

Mikoto- "Hey… did you just think something rude?"

Rimuru- "U-uhh, no!"

Quick! Think of an excuse! Oh, wait, there was that…

Rimuru- "Right, I forgot to give you this."

After saying that, I take out a small box from my [Predator] stomach. I quickly hand it off to Mikoto before jumping off her lap and running away.

Meanwhile, Mikoto stares at my retreating figure before sighing at looking at the box. It's a black sliding gift box. After contemplating for a bit, she opens it. She looks at its contents, causing her eyes to widen before her expression softens.

Mikoto- "Honestly, that guy…"

A while later, you can see Mikoto walking out of the house with a new addition to the bracelet on her wrist. She didn't bother throwing the bracelet away, even though it's practically useless, and always wore it as a memento. But now…

There is a small crystal gekota accessory adorning it.

(A/N: A gekota is a certain mascot thing that Mikoto was absolutely in love with back in her old world. Obviously, this world doesn't have it, so MC made one. Back to MC…)

Anyway, I find myself back at the absolutely fucked experiment site. Making up my mind, I decided to clean it up and restore its condition.

Oh, I forgot about the 3 adventurers!

So yeah, they left. They stayed in the village for a few days after Shizu died. The day after Shizu passed away, I let them know about what happened, that Shizu is no longer here and that I ate her at her request.

They were pretty sad. They didn't even have the chance to thank her for all the help she provided. So, I asked them to stay behind in the village for a few more days, and when I finally used my human form…

Kabal/Elen/Gido- "Thank you very much!"

They bowed in thanks to me, who was in my human form and was holding Shizu's egg. I told them about Shizu's current condition and that she will live again. I was hesitating if I should do that, but remembering Shizu's smile as she told the story of her journey here with those 3… I couldn't really keep it from them.

Rimuru- "Though she did say you all were pretty danger prone…"

I mean, who goes and stabs a giant ant nest!?

Anyway, I gave them gear made by the dwarves as a gift and they finally left.

Kabal- "We'll have to tell the Guild Master about this place."

Elen- "Though we'll make sure to only say good things!"

Gido- "And maybe we can come back here again."

After that, I made a small memorial for Shizu on the hill with the tree and the great sunset view. It's nothing special, just an altar of stones. Though, I did infuse those stones with magicules, so they became rather precious materials.

Although she's not technically dead, it just felt right. Mikoto and Ranga thought so too.

As I finish restoring the river bank experimental site, I find myself on that very same hill next to Shizu's memorial wearing her mask and wondering how Mikoto likes her gift. I remembered her like for gekotas, so I made one out of highly condensed crystals pumped full of magicules. It's rather expensive stuff, not that it took much out of me to make.

It's actually a support item that can help Mikoto with her Electromaster esper ability. It provides a boost in power and also serves as a form of training assist tool for her.

How does it work?

HAH!

… No fucking clue…

What? I just make the damn thing, I don't bother trying to understand how it works.

<<Anwser. The accessory works by focusing the esper's mental state, allowing their calculations to form smoother and faster. This also helps in guiding their thoughts, allowing them to eventually perform at those standards even without the item->>

Yeah, I don't get it. I mean, I do, but… not really. You can handle things like that, yeah?

<<… Understood.>>

Great! More work off my back.

Procrastination.

I sense Mikoto walking up from behind me, eventually standing next to me and looking at the sunset view with me. I'm in my human form, so she can't pick me up, unfortunately. I'm not going to change back though.

Why? Well because…

Mikoto- "Can I have one?"

Rimuru- "Mmm? Oh, sure."

I make another meat bun and hand it to Mikoto before focusing back on the meat bun already in my hand.

Buns before hoes.
