What the fuck?

As they had decided before, Tamazuki and Rimuru named 120,000 orcs, but unlike when they named the Oni, Goblins, or Direwovles, even if they named them, there was no connection between them, so their relationship was different than those of Onis and Hobgoblins.

Also, when they named the orcs, they used a letter combination and numbers.

If he gave an example, it was based on where they lived, such as if they lived on a mountain, then their name would be Mountain-01 or Mountain-02. If they lived near the river, their name would be River-14.

Something along that line.

However, even so, they were happy when they received those names.

Frankly, it was tiring and hard to remember, but fortunately, Rimuru had [Great Sage], and Tamazuki had [Minerva], so everything went smoothly.

Still, when everything was over, he thought of leaving.

Shizu only had two years to live, and she didn't want to become a monster, so he wanted to search for another way to prolong her life.

As for his original world?

It didn't matter for now as he was so powerful.

With his size alone, he could destroy Japan and sink it into the ocean.

Nurarihyon? Nura Rikuo?

He didn't need to take them seriously.

The only problem was Abe no Seimei, but it should be okay.

He believed that everything was okay.

What he needed to think about now was Shizu, so he thought of going to another world again, searching for a method to prolong her life.

Still, the day when he woke up, at night, they had sex as usual.

She let him do whatever with her body and was obedient to everything he asked. She even wore glasses and gave him fellatio while drinking his semen like it was the most delicious thing in the world.

However, when they rested, she suddenly apologized. "...sorry."

"Why did you apologize?" He looked at her in confusion.

"It's because of me, right?"

"...because of you?"

"You became a True Demon Lord because of me, right?"

"......"

He looked at her and chuckled.

"......" Shizu.

"Wh-Why are you laughing?"

Her heart was filled with guilt as she thought that he massacred the orcs to become the True Demon Lord because he wanted to save her, but when she saw him chuckle, she felt ashamed and embarrassed.

"No, it's just that I didn't expect you to be so narcissistic."

Even if Shizu was as kind as an angel, she could get angry, so she bit his shoulder, showing how angry she was.

"Ow! Ow! It hurts!"

He pretended like he was hurt, and she let him go, but she pouted and was still dissatisfied.

Frankly, it felt strange as she was at her advanced age, yet she could act like a girl in love. Yet, suddenly, she felt her hair rubbed, and she was hugged.

"Becoming the True Demon Lord was my decision from the beginning before I met you, so you didn't need to blame yourselves for thinking that I was forced to kill the orcs for you. Shizu, I am not a good guy. I am selfish, and I will do anything to get power."

Shizu didn't say anything and just listened to him. If it was before, she might have been confused as to why he wanted so much power, but now she understands.

"As I am selfish, I also don't want you to die."

He hugged her tightly in his arms without letting her go.

"Of course, I will search for a way to prolong your life without turning you into a Majin."

"Tamazuki..."

Her heart was beating so fast at that moment, and it felt like everything was warm. It might be the first time that she felt something so warm like this. It felt like the world was full of kindness, and his embrace was so comfortable.

Was this happiness?

Before, dying might have been her salvation, but now, she wished to be with him as long as possible.

Facing him, her face turned red, and her eyes became moist as she was unable to control her emotion.

"You are mine now, so I won't let you die."

Hugging each other, it was her first time thinking that she was so fortunate.

"Un, I don't want to die. I want to stay with you too, Tamazuki."

She uttered those words, showing her willingness to stay alive, so she could be with him.

Hearing those words, he had no hesitation, and when everything had ended, he decided to leave.

"Ta-Tamazuki-sama, are you going to leave?" Shion was dumbfounded.

"Yes."

"........" Everyone.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw him putting on his luggage while Shizu was helping him by his side.

They wondered what he was doing, yet he told them that he was going to leave.

When this was known, everyone was startled, and they lost their calm.

"Huh? Really?"

"That's not true, right?"

"Tell me that I am dreaming!"

"....."

Tamazuki thought that they were exaggerating.

"When are you going to come back?" Rimuru asked helplessly.

"Yes, of course, I will come back."

"When?"

"A month? A few months? I am not sure, but I will come back."

"What are you planning to do?" Rimuru looked at him suspiciously.

"I want to become a True Dragon," Tamazuki answered with a joking tone.

"......." Everyone.

True Dragon...

It meant that Tamazuki wanted to become an existence similar to Veldora, the Storm Dragon, the protector of the Great Jura Forest.

Did he plan to become one?

"I was joking. I am a dog. How can I become a dragon?"

"........"

His words were correct, so they couldn't refute him.

[Incorrect. Master can become an existence similar to a True Dragon]

'Huh? Really?'

He was dumbfounded since he was just joking previously.

[Affirmative]

'How?'

[By devouring the True Dragon]

"......."

Tamazuki's lips twitched, and he couldn't say anything, but it didn't matter as he had decided to leave. While they felt bewildered, he said goodbye and then left without hesitation.

Watching him leave figures, everyone felt complex, but they knew that he would return, yet they had to say they felt sad as he had always been beside them.

After watching Tamazuki, who had left, Rimuru looked at Shizu. "Shizu-san, are you okay with it?"

"Un, he promised to return after all," Shizu answered with a gentle smile, as usual.

"So, what are you planning to do?" Rimuru asked curiously.

"I will wait for him."

Shizu's decision was simple, and she wanted to wait for him.

"I see."

If the two were alright, then Rimuru wouldn't say anything, and while he waited for his return, he would protect everyone.

Meanwhile, Shizu glanced at Shion and Shuna, who had this forlorn expression on their faces before she made up her mind.

---

Tamazuki didn't immediately leave this world. Instead, he went to visit Ellen on Blumund for a while before he went to the quiet place and opened the door that would lead him to a new world.

Naturally, he wasn't in his monster form and came to the new world in his human form, as this form was the most normal.

However, when he arrived in another world, he didn't expect that he would appear in the middle of the city.

"What kind of world is this?"

When he was confused with his surroundings, suddenly, he looked up dumbfoundedly before an explosion swallowed him and his surroundings.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!*
