----------------------------------------------------------
The next day, early morning. Walking on the path leading deeper into the Great Forest of Jura, Ellen and the two were more nervous than ever before. Constantly paying attention to their surroundings, the three no longer dared to be as reckless as before. After all, the information Emiya Shirou had told them last night had not yet been fully digested. After all, a Demon Lord, to humans, was death and catastrophe. A terrifying existence. Now, there were traces of a Demon Lord in the Great Forest of Jura, how could it not make them afraid! Walking at the very back of the group, looking at the nervous trio, Emiya Shirou kept cursing himself in his mind for wanting to be a prankster and deceiving them like this.
This resulted in their current speed being far below Emiya Shirou's expected speed. What was even more helpless was that Emiya Shirou couldn't take back his words. He couldn't just say he was joking on a whim yesterday, could he? If he did, the other party would inevitably ask about Emiya Shirou's purpose again. He couldn't just expose his identity as an otherworldly traveler as soon as he arrived, could he! Besides, he wasn't really deceiving them, was he! After all, weren't the traces of a Demon Lord just the traces of Rimuru? According to the typical plot, the future Rimuru is definitely the strongest Demon Lord, there's no doubt about that. So, why wouldn't the traces of the future strongest Demon Lord count as traces of a Demon Lord? So Emiya Shirou thought about it and decided to just go with it!
Anyway, in this world, being anxious was useless. Since he decided to play the game with a farming-style player, he could only wait for trouble to find him. Otherwise, a farming-style player would never actively engage! Just like that, in a tense atmosphere, Emiya Shirou and his group continued to advance. Although their progress was not fast, through conversations with the few during the journey, Emiya Shirou gained a better understanding of the surrounding environment. In addition, with his guidance on their combat styles along the way, the group soon reached their destination. The cave where the Storm Dragon Veldora was sealed.
"Tsk, there's actually a gate here, this is too abnormal!" Looking at the tightly closed gate in front of him, Emiya Shirou stroked his chin and couldn't help but complain. (In the original novel, this gate was inside the cave, but in the anime, it was outside. For the sake of story development, the author followed the anime's setting here.)
"So, Senpai Shirou is leaving now?" Looking at Emiya Shirou leaning against the side, Ellen, holding her staff with both hands, said somewhat reluctantly. After spending this time together, the relationship between the four had grown familiar. Especially Ellen, who naturally held special feelings for Emiya Shirou, this charming strong individual.
"Ah, for the path ahead, you'll have to forge it yourselves!"
"All good things must come to an end, and separation will come sooner or later."
"But I believe that given our fate, we will meet again sooner or later!" Extending his palm, Emiya Shirou gently stroked Ellen's head, comforting the three with a smile.
"Yes, Senpai Shirou!"

Struggling to push open the heavy gate, Ellen and the two waved goodbye to Emiya Shirou, then used invisibility magic and walked into the cave. Before he could fully experience the sadness of parting, Emiya Shirou sensed a powerful presence. Knowing that he had arrived just in time, Emiya Shirou activated Presence Concealment, then leaned against the cave entrance with his arms crossed, waiting quietly. Soon, he heard a 'plop, plop, plop' sound. It was like the sound of a water-filled balloon continuously bouncing, getting closer and closer. Feeling the dangerous aura emanating from that blob of slime, Emiya Shirou seized the moment and instantly stepped on the slime that had just leaped out of the cave, pinning it to the ground. "Although the high concentration of magical energy around makes your presence difficult to perceive, leading one to think they've imagined it, that's ultimately for others." Looking at the slime that seemed to be constantly sweating, Emiya Shirou's smile became even more pleased.
"I didn't expect such a terrifying monster to exist in the Great Forest of Jura. Although I've just arrived in this world, as a Hero, should I eliminate you?" Taking out the sword he had projected beforehand and continuously tapping the slime pinned to the ground, Emiya Shirou laughed heartily in his mind.
"This is truly too much fun!"
"Besides me, no one else should be able to step on the strongest slime of the future world!"
"The current Rimuru doesn't fully understand his own strength, so he has no intention of engaging with enemies."
"He should be bluffed by me now, right?" Although Emiya Shirou's heart was constantly laughing at this moment, on the surface, he still maintained a stern demeanor. The current Rimuru was not actually weak, but having just arrived in this world, he had no combat experience or will whatsoever. Just as Emiya Shirou thought, Rimuru's heart was currently screaming in panic.
"It's over, I just came out and already ran into a strong enemy. What did he say he was, a Hero?"
"Confirmation: The human in front is a Hero's Egg, truly a Hero!"
"Even Great Sage says so. Did I just walk out and immediately encounter a big boss?"
"A Hero, the strongest human... I won't die here, will I? This is too unlucky!" Thinking of his previous life and the Storm Dragon Veldora he encountered earlier in the cave, Rimuru's desire to survive gradually grew in his heart. So, he pretended to say, "Although I'm a monster, I'm not an evil slime, you know!"
"Just a talking slime is already an extremely bizarre thing!"
"And what you just said sounds like a line from an old game, right?" The moment Rimuru finished speaking, Emiya Shirou's retort had already arrived. Although his words were completely denied, Rimuru discovered something else.
"Game, line!"
"Are you also from another world?" Although still a round blob, Emiya Shirou surprisingly could read his emotions. Seeing that the other party finally caught on to his topic, Emiya Shirou moved his foot away and pretended to be surprised, saying, "Hey, you're not trying to say that you're an Earthling who reincarnated into this world, are you!"
"That's already an old, worn-out trope!"
"Although it's indeed an old, worn-out trope, I really am an Earthling!"
"After I died saving someone on Earth, I reincarnated into this world. I've been like this ever since I woke up!" Seeing that the other party was indeed from another world, Rimuru, happy to meet a fellow countryman, excitedly bounced around.
"Tsk, so he really is a reincarnator? And a monster-type." He grabbed the continuously bouncing slime, cupping it in his hands. Emiya Shirou said with a smile, "Since you're an Earthling, then it's fine!"
"My name is Emiya Shirou, an otherworldly traveler from Earth!"
"Emiya Shirou!?" Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Rimuru, seeing that the other party was indeed his fellow countryman, said excitedly, "My name is Rimuru Tempest, and my previous life's name was Satoru Mikami!"
"Satoru Mikami, huh? It seems we really are from the same place!"
"Is this luck? To meet a companion right after arriving in another world, this should be considered good luck!"
"Shirou, did you just arrive in this world too?"
"That's right, I only arrived two or three days ago." Looking at the slime in front of him, Emiya Shirou said with a smile, "It seems we'll have to figure out how to survive in this world!"
