ch28 < Preparations for Founding festival >

Before the fight against the Holy Knights, Chloe and others arrived using spatial transportation, as I had already given Tempest's coordinates to Chloe

They left a note saying, "We are going on an adventure, and maybe we will never come back.

Four days after battle between tempest and holy knights.

"Now, I am on a shopping date with Chloe and Testarossa. Karn, while enjoying his time with chloe and Testarossa, thought about the situation..

For the Founding Festival, Rimuru and I have meticulously planned the construction of a labyrinth.

Ramiris has already completed 50 floors. We utilized Veldora as a power source to spawn various monsters, ensuring a diverse and challenging environment.

Rimuru and I made numerous modifications to the labyrinth, setting intricate traps and constructing complex loops to enhance its difficulty.

< Milim provided various Elemental dragons for labyrinth >

I requested Veldora to train Zegion, Apito, and Kumara, honing their skills to perfection.

Meanwhile, Rimuru enhanced Adalman's abilities, granting him Holy-Demonic Conversion, which significantly boosted his combat potential.

In a surprising turn of events, Rimuru lost his virginity to Shion.

Later, Shuna joined, and now Rimuru is in a relationship with both Shion and Shuna. This new development has brought a different dynamic to our group.

I sensed Raphael's displeasure through the soul link. It's a positive sign that Raphael is developing emotions.

Haha, with Raphael gaining emotions, her dominance will be less pronounced than in the original story, allowing Rimuru to enjoy his life fully.

Ramiris successfully managed to relocate the entire town and its residents into the labyrinth, efficiently allocating them inside during one of the escape drills I conducted.

This exercise prove our emergency effectiveness of reducing damage.

Additionally, I strategically placed our forces, including Zegion, Apito, Adalman and his subordinates, and the dragons that Milim helped gather in exchange for a jar of honey. Our attack forces, comprising Shion, Benimaru, and Diablo, are also ready and positioned for maximum effectiveness.

We have reinforced the labyrinth's security measures and enhanced its defenses, ensuring that any intruders will face formidable challenges.

Rimuru and I have also coordinated with various allied nations, securing their support for the upcoming festival.

As we walked through the bustling marketplace, I noticed the excitement in the air. The residents of Tempest were eagerly preparing for the festival, their spirits high and their faces filled with anticipation.

Chloe, sensing my deep contemplation, gently squeezed my hand. "Don't worry, everything will be alright," she said with a serious expression.

"Hm, I hope so," I replied, my thoughts drifting to the challenges ahead.

With Chloe now having some memory from the time loop, her presence and support were invaluable.

I looked at Hinata, who was happily engaging with the kids, and decided to inform her about Yuuki's ambitions through thought communication.

Hinata's smile faded, replaced by a sigh.

I think she already guessed that Yuuki is shady. Granbell and yuuki will be more cautious since I defeated Hinata without much effort.

As the preparations for the Harvest Festival continued, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement. This festival would be a testament to our resilience and strength, showcasing the unity and determination of the Jura Tempest Federation.

I mulled over the potential threats, knowing that Damrada and Granbell Rozzo might be plotting something sinister.

Damrada and Yuuki might exploit Cerberus' influence to create turmoil for Tempest..

I need to be exceptionally vigilant during the Harvest Festival.

Leon might have revealed something to the Sarion Empress, given their close mentor-student relationship.

Maria with her unique skill Greed is also dangerous.

Tempest and Rimuru were initially suspicious because of two demon lord and one evil dragon.

It took combined efforts of Blumund, Dwargon, and Youm, now King of Falmuth, helped to dispel any lingering doubts.

< my and rimuru adventure persona also come handy for this situation >

Rimuru and I extended invitations to Elalude Grimwald, father of Ellen, and Elmesia El Ru Sarion, Empress of Sarion and cousin of Ellen.

We also invited Dwarf King Gazel, the King of Blumund and all our allied nations and friends for upcoming festival.

Karna-sama, if you are deep in thought, we can provide help in reducing your burden," Testarossa said.

"Hm, we'll discuss it tonight. Also, ask Diablo to come at night.

"Can I join?" Chloe asked.

"Of course, Chloe," Karna replied.

They stopped at a stall selling colorful fabrics. Chloe's eyes sparkled with excitement as she examined a piece of silk.

"Karna san, look at this! Isn't it beautiful?

"It really is. Why don't we get some? It would make a great addition to your collection.

Testarossa, ever the strategist, was scanning the crowd while they shopped, ensuring their safety and noting any potential issues that might need addressing later.

"this would look perfect with your dress for the upcoming festival" . Karna praised Chloe.

Chloe was happy and rewarded karna with a kiss on his cheek.

As they continued their stroll, karna couldn't help but feel grateful for these moments of normalcy.

Despite the responsibilities and challenges which he will face in future, times like these reminded him of the simple joys of life.

Testarossa (smiling slightly)

"Karan -sama, it's good to see you enjoying yourself. These moments are inportant.

"Yes, they are. Thank you, both of you, for accompanying me. It's been a wonderful day.

Chloe beamed, and Testarossa gave a rare, genuine smile. They continued exploring the market, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and the blooming relationship..

Later at night, in the karna resident

"I briefed Diablo on the looming threat of Eastern Empire invasion

"With Rudra's vast army, including many Enlightened and three Awakened humans, along with a true dragon ,everyone in Tempest needs to become stronger.

"Karna's brow furrowed with concern, especially regarding the potential threats posed by Feldway and Michael.

In response, Diablo proposed a plan: he would venture into the underworld to recruit other Primordials, while Testarossa would rally her lineage.

"I've instructed them to bring their top lieutenants and demons with potential,"

Karna with a hint of longing in their voice.

"It's been three days since they departed to find demons in the underworld. I already miss the comfort of Testarossa's presence and even milim is busy because of her studies.

"Meanwhile, the governance of the whole Jura Forest fell upon Rimuru, prompting visits from various tribes—mainly the Marine, Gozu and Mizu, Rabbitfolks, Lizardmen, Tengu, and several other goblins and animal tribes.

"I silenced them with my ruler's authority, forcing them to submit after they displayed arrogance,"

"After their submission, I relocated the Gozu and Mizu tribes into Ramiris' Labyrinth.

"As per the agreement between Erald Grimwald and Rimuru, they needed to establish the Sarion trade route, passing through the Casco Mountain where the Tengu tribe resided.

Benimaru was dispatched to extend invitations and explain their situation. The Tangue tribe agreed, on the condition that Benimaru marry Momiji, daughter of their leader. Who also actually is Hakarou own daughter.

"Alvis and momoji started competing for Benimaru's attention.

Karna chuckled. "I convinced Benimaru to take both as his wives, citing the need to leave heirs for easier evolution while I even help gobwa get settle with Benimaru.

The reason is one of his heir should belong to same ogre lineage.

He was thoroughly embarrassed by shuna's teasing and my suggestions.

"Later, Dagruel sent his children, along with Same as Cannon, who caused trouble and spoke ill of Rimuru.

Shion delivered a punishing blow, and Rimuru intervened just in time to prevent a potential fatality.

"So much for their supposed love," karna mused, noting Shion's protective instincts heightened due to their relationship.

They later joined Yomigeari for special training sessions with Shion.

After some days because of news about Founding Festival.

Karna encountered Masayuki, a chosen hero and fragment of Emperor Rudra.

Masayuki gained his title after performing a heroic deed: encountering slave traders and liberating elfs from their clutches.

"This time, Yuuki is absent due to Karna's presence. He won't be attending the Founding Festival, so Masayuki and his friends are not under his thought domination.

While Rimuru and I were meeting with Masayuki, the crowd began chanting his name and praising his heroic deeds as the chosen one.

Masayuki looked extremely embarrassed.

"I nullified the effects of your unique skills," Karna said.Masayuki was stunned, gazing at Karna as if he were a messiah.

I invited him to a private meeting and ordered my subordinates to separate him from his companions.

His friends were occupied exploring shops and restaurants while Masayuki accompanied me to my residence.

The children were thrilled to meet Masayuki, except for Chloe, who clung to me, demanding to be spoiled.

After some time passed...

"Hey, Masayuki, how's life?" Karna asked.

"Not much, Karna-san. I'm troubled by the expectations placed on me," Masayuki confided.

Karna gave a reassuring smile. "I understand. The weight of being the chosen one isn't easy to bear."

Masayuki sighed. "Everyone looks up to me, but they don't realize how overwhelmed I feel. Sometimes, I wish I could just be a normal person."

I proposed to modify his skills. My plan was to obtain his skill, the chosen one, which allowed interaction with dreamlands, similar to the Herrscher of Sentience, along with luck manipulation.

He readily agreed.

I didn't establish a soul link with him, so I incapacitated him and used the Magic Eyes of Void to consume him.

I employed full analytical powers and the Power of Logic to comprehend his skills and the intricacies of luck manipulation.

<<Unique Skill "Chosen One" obtained>>

Despite my calculative abilities, understanding luck proved challenging.

For some reason, this skill was special, and only Masayuki's soul could utilize its true potential.

So, I took some of his soul shards and added them to my astral body.

While I healed his soul using pure spiritrons and life aura, this was the only way to establish a strong connection with the chosen one.

I endowed him with various resistances and

Extra akill < diamond body > and

<weapon mastery>

Using the Power of Logic, I enhanced his physical functions, making it easier for him to evolve into an Enlightened Human.

When Masayuki awakened, he was astonished by his new physique and abilities.

He could now activate or deactivate his skills at will.

"Thank you, Karna-san. I am forever indebted to you," Masayuki expressed his gratitude.

"No problem, but I need you to help us promote Ramiris' Dungeon during the Founding Festival. This will boost our city's popularity and revenue," Karna requested.

Masayuki's eyes lit up with determination. "Anything for you, Karna-san. I'll do my best.

"Karna chuckled. "I'm glad to hear that. Besides, you might find the dungeon intriguing. It's full of challenges that might even surprise you.

"Masayuki smiled. "I'm looking forward to it.

I then provide him some Japanese food and manga.

"Thank you for introducing me to them.

Karna-sama are you perhaps an angel. "Masayuki beamed.

"After he returned, I decided to combine the luck bestowed by the system with Masayuki's chosen abilities.

Rimuru had a meeting with blumand King. Where he showcase his various invention and city museum..

Soon luminas come to visit me. She got super excited when we went to see music opera and try various dishes..

I also introduced soft drinks , mocktail and

Cocktail to luminas.

"Oh these drink are so delicious and refreshing." Luminas said.

She instantly fell for Cocktail and asked me to prepare some for her. She want a handmade one.

( karna was the one who introduced various cold drinks and mocktail in Tempest )

I prepared Sangria and Cherry bomb for her.

I even used Outcome alteration on it to make them even more delicious.

I handed her Cocktail and she took a delicate sip, her eyes lighting up with delight.

Luminas: (tasting) "Mmm, this is delicious!

You really outdid yourself.

Karna with happy smile

"I'm glad you like it. It's just for you.

" karna settled beside her on the couch as she savored the mocktail, enjoying the moment of intimacy with luminas.

< karna is rubbing her thighs >

"You know, you might have to make these more often now. Luminas said.

"Consider it done. Anything for you." Karna teased luminas and kissed her on neck.

Karna and luminas did some intimacy moment together.

Days later Diablo and Testarossa returned with demons and other two primordials.
