ch 6 < new subordinates >

It's been a few days since Rimuru absorbed Shizu.

Rimuru has been looking sad and sometimes crying.

The people around him thought that he was just mourning. Kaijin even tried to console him, but it did not work.

I, of course, knew exactly why my brother was sad, so I went inside his house to console him.

Yes, he asked me to build him a house, so I built him a traditional Japanese house with a personal hot spring in the backyard and a fish pond in the front.

My house was identical and right next to his. The only thing that separated the two was the fence that surrounded each house.

"Rimuru, are you still sad?"

"Oh, hey Karna, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to comfort you."

"C-Comfort me?"

"Rimuru, it's ok to be genderless, y'know.

But here's the catch: I can help you get your lil' bro.

"Rimuru was thrilled to hear this.

In canon, Ciel never let him get his little brother.

Then, with a soul link, I made some modifications to Rimuru and his skills.

He received a notification:

<Extra skills Matter Manipulation, < p>

Matter Creation,

World Understanding have been obtained.>

It was Great Sage who conveyed the message to Rimuru.

Rimuru was shocked, hoping he might get his gender.

I used the power of logic and reason to make modifications to his slime body.

Rimuru's face showed shock. <His 4 penis size is inches.>

Rimuru received another notification:

<Notice: Combine World Understanding with Great Sage using Degenerate? < p>

Yes / No.>

Rimuru said yes.

Now, Great Sage was far stronger than the canon version.

I activated her Great Sage and improved its calculations.

<Processing speed increased to 100k from 10k.>

"This is... a difficult situation." I petted Rimuru once again to calm him down.

"Don't worry, Rimuru-chan. You will fulfill your wishes."

I said in a righteous and serious voice.

The slime perked up at that.

"Eh?!" he exclaimed, looking at me with a surprised and bewildered expression.

"What's with that expression? Aren't we soulmates? Our soul cores are linked together," I said once again, with a confused voice.

"I'll always help you. With each evolution, his lil' brother's size will also increase.

"Still a friend and companion to Rimuru, I wondered when I had become so happy. I looked towards the blushing slime in my embrace.

< did he even remember that he is hugging me while naked >.

[Note - World Understanding is stronger than All of Creation skill.]

I gave Great Sage information on various architectural styles and building forms from my memory, originating from an ancient civilization.

It mostly consisted of castles, monuments, and knowledge about planning, cultivation, and warfare.

After a day, Karna set out on his journey to get his adventurer license.

For B rank, I needed to defeat a lesser demon, which I accomplished by infusing my blade with aura.

Spectators were left agape at such a spectacle.

It caused quite an uproar.

Later I took a quest to subjugate some dark goblins.

While I was busy as an adventurer.

At Tempest

Rimuru fought against ogres and convinced them to join Tempest.

Young master will be "Benimaru.

"Princess will be "Shuna.

He named everyone in one go.

"Their guard as well, Kurobee, Hakurou, Souei, and Shion.

The ogres who have evolved into kijin. Rimuru was excited to meet his fated ones.

Therefore, he thoroughly convinced them to join Tempest.

After naming, he fell into sleep mode.

Soon he woke up and was shocked to see all the ogres who evolved into kijins and the village has became a town.

Karna also arrived before the feast.

When we arrived, the feast preparation was almost completed, all that was left was the meat.

Kaijin, Rigurd, Rigur, Karna, the old ogre, and I gathered on a mat while Rimuru was trying out the skewers.

We were listening to what happened to their village until Kaijin almost spit out his beer.

"The Orcs attacked the Ogres? That can't be!"

"It's the truth."

"Can such a thing really happen?"

"I don't know," Rigurd said.

"Is it that strange?" Gobta walked in.

"Of course it is. Ogres are immeasurably stronger than Orcs. That such a weak race would attack them is unthinkable," Kaijin said.

Benimaru then explained how they all wore armor and mentioned that a majin named Gelmud came and offered him a name, but Benimaru rejected him because he was suspicious.

"Gelmud is a subordinate of the Demon Lord Clayman. He sees himself as a superior majin, running around in this forest," Karna explained.

"So, he is a demon lord's subordinate?"

"Yeah, and the demon lord he serves is Clayman, The Marionette Master. A very sly, self-proclaimed demon lord if I must say. He is the type of person that would use and kill his subordinates. Most of the demon lords see him as a nuisance; even I could easily defeat him."

"Self-proclaimed demon lord? Aren't demon lords the same?" Kaijin's question made everyone curious.

"Most people don't know this. Self-proclaimed demon lords are not real demon lords.

He just possesses the qualification to become a true demon lord recognized by the voice of the world.

The only true demon lords are Demon Lord Guy Crimson, Milim Nava, and Valentine."

"So what about Leon? Is he weak like Clayman?" Rimuru asked.

"Oh no. Leon was a chosen hero who fell from grace and became a demon lord. Even I might lose against him."

"I see," Rimuru said.

"Ok, we are getting off-topic. Let's talk about the orcs." As I said, everyone became serious.

"I believe that the mastermind behind this is Clayman."

"Is it because of Gelmud?"

"Indeed. As you know, Clayman is quite weak compared to other demon lords. So he might need strong monsters in his army. Therefore, his subordinate is naming monsters willy-nilly, and since you declined his request, Gelmud might have sent orcs to remove ogres as they might become an obstacle for orcs.

"Our conversation took place for some time. After it, we went to our home.

The next morning, I went to Hakuro to assign him to train our goblin riders and asked him to take special care of Gobta as he seemed to have the most potential, I felt.

He is currently training with me. Well, I am using analysis to understand his sword art.

We were sparring with each other.

After some hours, I could easily overpower Hakuro in pure sword performance.

He seemed happy about it, and some of the citizens witnessing our swordplay also congratulated me.

While we were talking, Souei appeared in front of us.

"What is it, Souei?" I asked.

"I bring a report, Rimuru-sama, Karna-sama. I witnessed a group of lizardmen."

"Lizardmen? Not orcs?"

"Hai, because they make the marshlands their home, it seemed unnatural to see them near here, so I had to inform you at once.

They seemed to be attempting negotiations with a nearby Goblin village. They may one day come here as well."

"Good job, Souei, continue keeping an eye on them," I said.

"Hai." He disappeared.

"Hey Rimuru, do you want to look around town? Things are developing quite fast."

"Sure, let's do that. It was pretty weird, y'know, falling asleep in a village and waking up in a town."

"Have you guys come to eat?" Hakuro asked.

"Yeah. Shion said she cooked us a meal." Rimuru said.

Everyone, including me, flinched except for Shion and Rimuru.

I did not know about this."In-Including me?" Karna asked, my voice trembling.

"Yup," Rimuru said and asked the rest, "Want to join me, guys?"

"Oh, I'm not really hungry..."

"Yes, we'll just have tea."

I will go out and scout the surrounding area!"

Souei disappeared with his body doubles.

"U-Um, brother?"

"Yeah?" Rimuru replied.

"I already planned to eat burgers, so I can't join you.

Sorry." I sat beside Hakuro and created a couple of burgers.

I shared them with Benimaru and Hakuro so they wouldn't starve.

('Good call, Karna-sama,') Benimaru communicated telepathically.

('Wise choice,') Hakuro added.

('Phew, that was close,') I replied.

"Sorry, Shion, but I won't be eating your food today. As you can see, I already have my own.

Rimuru can have the dish you made for me."

"Hai." Shion was a bit dejected. "

I'll bring it out, then."

"Oh, sure. Karna replied.

"After a while, she returned with two bowls of "food" on a tray.

"I've returned! Please, help yourself."

She placed the food in front of him. Seeing the food, Rimuru glared at us and used thought communication.

('Oi, you guys! Why didn't you tell me and brother? You knew about this?!')

('Forgive me, Rimuru-sama.')

('Consider this training.')

('Sorry, man. Try to survive this. If I eat that thing, I don't think even my poison nullification can save me.')

When Benimaru and Hakuro heard this, they looked at me with envious eyes.

"Whew, I'm starved!" Gobta and Gobzo opened the door and entered.

"Please eat before it gets cold," Shion said, giving Rimuru a spoon.

"I-Itadakimasu." Rimuru grabbed a spoonful of whatever it was and suddenly closed his eyes, turning his whole body to the right and putting the spoon in Gobta's mouth.

Gobta then rolled on the ground, and his whole body turned purple.

"Oh, dear," Shion said.

"Shion."

"H-Hai!"

"Next time you make food to serve to someone else, get Benimaru's approval first."

Hearing this, Benimaru's face paled.I stood up and walked over to Gobta, put him in a coffin, and everyone prayed for Gobta's sacrifice.

After some talk, Rimuru asked me to create a sword for him.

He got jealous when I showed him my Moon Arc.

"Please, my dear brother, make a cool katana for me," Rimuru said in a begging tone.

"Alright, I will come here to forge Rimuru's sword tonight," I said.

"Really?" Kaijin and Kurobe asked in unison.

"Are Rimuru-sama and Karna-sama here?" Rigurd entered the workshop.

"What's up, Rigurd?" Rimuru asked.

"An envoy of the Lizardmen has arrived," he said, striking a side chest pose.

"Okay, let's go," I said.

Rimuru jumped onto Rigurd's left shoulder.

We walked out of the workshop and headed to the town entrance.

Benimaru, Shion, and Hakuro followed us, curious about why the Lizardmen were here.

'It's time to meet an idiot.

'We soon arrived at the entrance and saw multiple Lizardmen waiting for us.

They started hitting their spears on the ground and moved to the side, making way for Gabiru to enter.

He jumped off his ride and landed in front of us, making a dramatic entrance.

"I am Gabiru of the Lizardmen. You will all serve under me.

Consider this a great honor!" His companions reflected light off their shields and started to praise him.

One of them said to us,

"Remember him well, this is the man who will be the next chieftain of the Lizardmen! Bow down!""

""Huh?"""

Shion began squeezing Rimuru, and Rigurd stepped forward..

Karna then released my aura to shut him up.

He started shaking under the demon lord's presence I emitted.

But gabiru stubbornly said

" your puny tricks will not work against me "

Ohoho.

then karna use a sturdy steel thread to tightly bind Gabiru.

With immense force, he hurl him high into the sky.

Finally, I bring him crashing down to the ground with a powerful slam..

Boomm! A huge creator was formed in ground.

The Lizardmen were deadly quiet, while my subordinates just chuckled.

Gabiru was out cold, completely unconscious.

"Oyeee! You overdid it. What would have happened if he died?" Rimuru exclaimed, then used a healing potion on Gabiru.

His subordinates took him and disappeared into the distance.
