Another Otherworlder

As a villain, he should be the one who made trouble for the protagonist, yet why was the trouble coming to him?

Yet, it might be the price of his Ultimate Skill.

Jupiter, Lord of the Great.

It made him the protagonist, giving him many chances to steal the protagonist's chance.

Frankly, he wondered what was happening to Rimuru, as it had been quite a while since he had left his uncle. It hadn't been two weeks, but it was quite a while, so he felt that he should go back to meet him as he knew what kind of trouble his uncle had faced currently.

Building a city for monsters.

It was definitely something that was worth doing but hard to do.

Nevertheless, he had brought many souvenirs as he knew what his uncle needed to currently.

And this quest from Fuze was his chance to return to meet his uncle.

"Do you want us to investigate the forest?"

"Yes." Fuze nodded. "I know that you are busy with your business, but there aren't many people who can help us with this, and just leave this quest to the three..." He let out a tired sigh as he felt helpless.

Tamazuki glanced at the three, who were eating snacks on the side like this matter wasn't his problem. "Can you give us time to prepare?"

"Oh? Will you accept it?" Fuze had almost given up as he thought that Tamazuki was going to become a businessman instead of an adventurer. Nevertheless, whether becoming an adventurer or businessman, it didn't matter as Tamazuki would increase the income of the country as his business grew.

"I don't mind. I need to train from time to time, so I won't be rusty."

"That's true. That's true." Fuze nodded, feeling relief as Tamazuki was dependable.

"Then, in three days, we will leave since there is something that I have to do first."

"Okay, then, in three days."

There were no wasted words, and everything was concise, as Fuze knew that Tamazuki wasn't someone that liked to waste his time.

With everything decided, the four of them would leave in three days.

Kaval and Gido didn't really have a problem since as long as Tamazuki was with them, everything would be alright. Still, before they left, Ellen walked toward him and whispered, "By the way, I have bought the maid outfit."

"Oh?"

"Wait till tonight, okay?" Ellen giggled before she ran away in a hurry as if she was afraid of being eaten by a beast, then smiled mischievously at him.

Watching this little lewd fairy from his spot, he realized that elf was an amazing race.

"Alright, let's get back to work!"

Still, as the three left and talked about their investigation into the Jura Forest, someone suddenly stopped them.

"Excuse me, could it be that you plan on going to the Great Jura Forest?"

"Hmm?" 3x

The three looked at the petite figure of a young woman with long black hair and a unique mask.

"My name is Shizu. If you don't mind, can you allow me to travel with the three of you?"

At night, with a maid uniform on her body, Ellen breathed heavily with a flush face, then suddenly remembered something. "Inugami."

"Hmm?"

"Someone is going to join us on our quest later."

"Oh? We're going with five people, then?"

"Un." Ellen nodded. "It seems that this person has something that she has to do in the Jura Forest. I wonder what she is planning to do there...?"

'She?'

That point caught his attention, but he answered Ellen's question unfazed like he didn't have any interest in the person that would join their party in their quest to investigate the Great Jura Forest.

"Well, isn't that normal? With the disappearance of Veldora from the Great Jura Forest, many problems will arise from it."

It was like Direwolves who wanted to conquer the Great Jura Forest before; many races also covet that bountiful forest, wishing to conquer it themselves. Direwolves weren't the only ones or even the first ones.

That place, without a doubt, would become the center of many problems in this world, especially when it was located in the middle of the world.

"I wonder whether there will be a lot of problems in the future..."

"It's hard to say, but all we can do is to prepare, so we will be okay." He rubbed her hair and then kissed her forehead. "It's still too early to sleep. Let's do it again."

"....."

Ellen thought that her body might wreck sooner or later.

Still, after that night's conversation, he busied himself with his business again.

As for the person that would join their party, he didn't pay much attention to it. No, he paid attention, but he tried not to say it as he had a feeling that this should be one of the heroines in this world.

At the same time, he thought that it was almost time for all the main heroines to come as the first problem that Rimuru encountered would arrive.

The wheel of destiny had always moved, and he was already part of it, joining and becoming a big part that would change many things.

As for whether this change was good or not, no one could tell, but he knew that he had to stay with Rimuru for so long, leaving his business for a while.

Like a war, one had to be ruthless in business, so he didn't hesitate to manipulate the mind of his subordinates, so they would be loyal to him.

With everything ready, he thought about his objection once again.

One was to get all his hands on the main heroines, and the other was to become a demon lord.

However, he had a new objective, and it was to learn as many skills as he could.

There were many unique skills that could give him unique powers, and he wanted to get all of them, especially the Ultimate Skills.

Still, after he got his hands on Ellen, the new door that led him to a new world had opened. He could go there anytime, but first of all, he had to finish two of his objectives first.

Then, three days passed, and it was time for him to start his quest.

With Ellen, Gido, and Kaval, he walked toward the guild building, and there he saw someone who triggered his system.

A petite body, long black hair, yet with curves that were even better than Ellen's. It was outrageous, and it made him wonder whether all the nutrients in her body were taken for that place.

"Ah, Shizu-san! Sorry to make you wait!" Ellen greeted their new party with a smile.

"It's okay. I have just arrived," the woman, whose name was Shizu, answered softly before she stared at Tamazuki.

"Ah, it's your first time seeing him, right? He is our party member. His name is Inugami." Ellen hugged Tamazuki as she introduced him to Shizu.

"...Inugami?" Shizu was stunned for a moment.

"Hello, my name is Inugami." Tamazuki introduced himself politely.

"Hello, my name is Shizu." Shizu also politely introduced herself as she looked at his young appearance.

Was he from another world like her?

That thought crossed her mind.

"Now, let's start our quest. The faster we finish, the faster we go home."

"OOOOH!" 3x

Yet, with the three of them, it was hard to talk with Tamazuki, but as they were at the same party, she knew their chance to talk would arrive.
