R18 Dress-up Demon
Testa woke up the next day with a haze, which quickly became groggy when she tried to raise her head. She took notice of her surroundings, slightly startled from the lack of familiarity with the room they were in before remembering that they were currently in a different castle. With a groan, she covered her forehead, feeling a throbbing feeling akin to a headache crop up, before again remembering that she had nullified her resistances to poison, allowing the alcohol, and the aftereffects, to course through her body.
Resuming her resistance to poison, the effects were almost immediate as she felt a wave of clarity hit her mind, dispelling the building headache she was feeling. Taking note of her surroundings again with a clear head, she saw herself alone in bed, with Hinata a little ways away, balancing what looked to be Rimuru in his slime form on her head.
"Oh, look who's awake. Have a fun night?" She asked with a smirk before she took her eyes off Testa to once again catch Rimuru sliding off her head.
"I think so… what are you doing?" The demon responded, not quite knowing what was going on right now. Rimuru wasn't in his slime form very often in this world, and therefore she didn't know what the women would often do with him when he was in slime form. Especially if he had no say in the matter.
"Rimuru is still in his 'sleep' mode, so I'm killing the next fifteen or so minutes before he wakes up." Hinata answered. Since Rimuru never needed sleep thanks to his unique constitution, he had Great Sage create a version for him so that he could at least get some form of shut eye, mainly because he was often times bored beyond belief during the nights of his earlier days building the village, and the country, since most people were, of course, asleep as well.
Ciel has been the main one in control of this and has usually woken him up before or right as the girls were waking up, but sometimes she makes exceptions. In this case, it was simply because Hinata asked her to. The nice part about this was that Rimuru practically never woke up unless his 'sleep' mode was over, so Hinata pretty much had free reign over his body.
Hence the reason why, after the umpteenth time of trying and failing to keep him balanced on her head, she started squeezing him like he was a massive stress ball. Except the face she was wearing was anything but stressful.
"You look like a child." Testa remarked.
Rather than retort back with a chide of her own, Hinata did what Testa swore was a childish giggle and responded, "You seriously need to try this. His body so… soft and malleable."
Testa just sighed at the notion, but Hinata wasn't having any of it. Grabbing her arm and pulling the woman out of bed, disheveling the covers almost completely as Testa was barely able to maintain her balance as she got onto the floor, she said, "Come on, come on. Try it. It's honestly something else."
Shoving Rimuru in her hands, Testa hugged him to her chest and looked at him curiously for a few moments while enjoying the feeling of holding him close to her. As she held him in a more comfortable position, she said, "This does feel quite nice…"
"I know, right!" Came the enthusiastic response. "I'm sure now you can see why Shion used to be so hesitant to let others hold him. I personally didn't see what all the fuss was about until I started doing it."
She gave an affirmative hum in response as she was debating in her head between setting him down on the bed, as would dictate for someone who was supposed to be serving the being in front of her, and letting her curiosity get the better of her. In the end, her curiosity won, and with great care, she gently put him on top of her head and tried to balance him.
Very quickly, she could see why Hinata had such a difficult time trying to do so as whenever she felt like she was able to properly balance him, the slightest movement from her part would cause him to slide off her head. This was largely because his body would slightly deform to accommodate her head and that his body was very smooth and gel-like.
She kept trying a few more times, ever so careful, not noticing a distinct smile starting to spread across her face, before she heard the sound of a shutter. Something she was very intimately familiar with, as she would always hear those sounds whenever she went to meet with the head of a country.
Looking questionably at the source, she questioned, "Is this really picture worthy?"
Instead of answering her question, Hinata responded with one of her own. "Jeez, you really don't remember anything about last night, do you?"
Testa just scoffed at the woman and went back to trying to balance Rimuru. Of course, she remembered what happened last night. She went to Rimuru, who offered (commanded) her to drink, and she did. And they had a really fun night, completely devoid of Hinata, before the darkness of sleep began to claim her...
Realization slowly dawned on her that she couldn't remember what happened she downed her third glass of that 'incredibly' strong cider. In fact, all she could remember was talking to Rimuru and Ciel while practically chugging down the surprisingly sweet beverage. It certainly didn't help that she had some relaxing tea just before.
Seeing Testa slowly open her eyes as her hands were helping balance Rimuru, Hinata chided with a smirk, "Oh dear. Is the ever feared primordial and diplomat of Tempest, a lightweight?"
Testa tried to defend herself with a bunch of stutters before Hinata shut her down and asked, "You don't even know how you got into those clothes, do you?"
At her quip, Testa looked down at her clothes and yelped before covering her mouth in surprise. She now fully understood why Hinata took that picture, even though she hated it. To her shock, what she found herself wearing was a French maid outfit, typical for seduction and spicing things up in the bedroom. And her reaction wouldn't have been anywhere near as shocking if it wasn't for the fact that instead of the traditional black, it was a bright pink. Something that, to her, was far too girlish.
Despite her panic, she still had the wherewithal to set Rimuru down on the bed before rushing over across the room to change her clothes. Even though she was in a rush, she didn't just want to just tear off the clothes, as despite it being quite shameless, she presumed that it was still Rimuru's.
Finding something decent to wear, she took off her maid outfit, revealing a lacy pale white bra, underwear, and the rest of the garter belt. Deciding to leave the underwear and bra on, she took off the garter belt and threw on some more decent clothes, being a normal undershirt and some black pants.
Looking at the clothes on the ground, only then she realized that she could have just put them in her special storage. Doing that now, she walked over to the bed before sighing as she saw Hinata next to Rimuru, sorting through some pictures she had. Testa wasn't completely sure she even wanted to know what happened last night and was honestly scared to ask where those pictures came from.
Hinata, not caring at all about her internal struggle, simply said, "I did say that you weren't ready to deal with him drunk."
Testa tried to refute her words. "I thought that you were referring to something like sex!"
Hinata slowly shook her head while laughing. "If it was just sex, I would have joined in long before you came to the room. But you see, Rimuru has this thing of… well the best way to describe it is repressed memories. Shuna and Shion, particularly Shuna, used to have this habit of forcing him to wear this kind of stuff. Especially since she's so big on fashion. While he's gotten more used to it now, it can still crop up every now and then, especially with Ciel enabling it."
Testa gave her a dirty look. "Oh. So that's why you didn't go into the room. Were you perhaps just waiting for me to enter before you?"
Hinata smiled while still looking at the pictures. "Well, I can't deny that." She turned to look up at her and said, "I was planning to just wait it out and sleep outside somewhere, but when you came in, I thought 'oh, we might be able to work something out together.' And then you decided to go in."
"Are those pictures going to find their way to the others?" Testa asked with a hint of a stern voice.
Hinata barely managed to stifle a chuckle. "Of course not. At least, not beyond us. If I were you, I would let the other wives see it, but that's your decision to make."
Spreading out the photos on the bed, Testa hesitantly made her way to look at them. The sun had just started its rise over the horizon, so the early morning light made things quite easy to see. As she began looking at them, she heard Hinata say, "I didn't come in until you guys had already started, but by then things had sort of gotten out of hand…"
Testa knew exactly what she was talking about. There were only maybe a dozen photos, but she was wearing six different outfits. It ranged from her in a nun outfit on her knees praying, a comical sight for anyone who knew her origin, and an office lady outfit that, for a brief moment, had her reminiscing about their first date seeing how her clothes were very similar with a pencil thin red skirt and a tucked in white shirt.
Adding to the whole red theme, it continued with her in vaguely see-through baggy blood red silk pants, red bra, and a very see-through veil covering her mouth. The theme broke off and the next pictures were more compromising with Rimuru inside of her, either in her mouth or lower, and this time she was wearing workout gear with a sports bra and capris, wearing a black and white one-piece swimsuit as she was riding him, and finally, the pink maid outfit.
As she was looking through the photos, shame slowly growing on her face, Hinata suddenly said, "Want to see the video I took?"
She answered as if it was the most obvious thing ever. "Of course, I did. You really think I'm going to let a chance like this slip by me? Who do you take me for?"
Testa lunged towards Hinata, pushing her down and gripping her collar. With a look of plea evident in her eyes, she practically begged, "Delete it!"
Rather than immediately answer her, Hinata started giggling again, causing Testa to shake her back and forth a little before Hinata finally said, "You realize that even if I delete my copy, Ciel still has hers, right?"
Helplessness overcame her body as she let go of Hinata's collar and rolled over a couple times so that she was face down in the covers, pretty much deflating in the process. With a groan, and feeling like she would know the answer, she said, "Ciel…"
Materializing from a cloud of black particles, Rimuru's more calculative half said, {This isn't something that you need to worry yourself over. It's only us, and after all, I think you'll enjoy watching it.}
Testa turned to look at Ciel straight in her red hexagonal eyes. She was tempted to look at her with a stink eye, but knowing Ciel could be the type to hold a grudge, she decided against it. After a couple more moments passed, she found the strength to push herself up to a seated position.
{If it's any consolation, you did enjoy yourself last night.}
This prompted a stifled chuckle from Hinata, to which Ciel responded by flicking her in her side, causing Hinata to click her tongue at her. Testa watched this interaction, eventually deciding to just go with the flow and crawled her way to the two.
Ciel wrapped her up in her arms while Hinata laid down next to Ciel, using Rimuru as a pillow as Ciel made a projection in front of them of Hinata's video. Almost immediately, Testa buried her face in her hands, peaking out from the small gaps in her fingers. She was forced to admit that the version she was when she was drunk was vastly different than any other way she normally carries herself.
There was quite a bit of laughter coming from the video, and it opened up with Testa in her nun outfit and Hinata asking her a question. "You're completely shitfaced, aren't you?"
The Testa in the video turned to look at her, laughing while nodding her head. With slightly slurred speech, though not enough to be incomprehensible, she said, "Yeah, you're really missing out. The alcohol was amazing. Now shush. I'm in the middle of prayer."
She would have been a lot more convincing had it not been for the fact that not even five seconds after she returned to 'praying,' she went into a laughing fit and fell face first into the ground. The video turned to have Rimuru and Ciel in view, with Ciel shaking her head with a smile and Rimuru just laughing at Testa.
A sigh could be heard amongst the laughter as the video panned back to Testa, revealing Hinata's foot rolling her over on her back and extending an arm to pull her up to a sitting position.
Panning back to Ciel, Hinata asked, "How many drinks has she had? It's not even been half an hour since she entered."
{Would you believe me if I said that she's only had three?}
Rimuru added on, "She has a super low tolerance. Oh, Hinata," he continued, "while you're here, help me with getting her in this outfit." He said while conjuring the next outfit, which consisted of a blood red skirt, white button up shirt, and breathable black stockings.
Hinata took a good look at the outfit he prepared, fully knowing that it was not going to end there. "I almost feel sorry for her."
{She says while filming.}
Ignoring that last part, Hinata put the video recorder down on the bed facing Testa and helped her out of her nun outfit. It wound up being a surprising struggle, both because of her inebriation and the fact that the nun outfit was a bit more complicated than just a robe. Eventually, they were able to get it off, and Hinata picked up the recorder to see Testa putting on the next outfit.
"Ooh, I like this one." She said as she took a seat on the bed, leaving one leg dangling. "It makes me feel quite fancy~"
"If you like that one, I'm sure you'd love some of the other outfits I have planned for you." Rimuru said. "Still, I think something's missing from this one."
"Yes!" Testa chirped. "A glass of cider!"
Following through on her words, she teleported the bottle into her hands and materialized a glass to pour it into with an expectant smile. While this was happening, Rimuru looked at her with a slightly strained smile and said, "I was thinking something along the lines of glasses. You realize that you're going to have one hell of a hangover tomorrow, right?"
Testa waived off his concerns as she started drinking her fourth glass. As she was drinking, Rimuru framed the spectacles over her ears that appeared in his hand, adding to the look she had going on. All the while, the video approached the bottle that she still had in her hand, and Hinata reached for it, grabbing it out of her hands.
Taking a good look at it, Hinata exclaimed, "This is thirty proof. How the hell are you getting this drunk off 15% alcohol content?"
Testa, having downed half the glass already, simply shrugged her shoulders and laughed it off before putting the glass back to her lips.
Once she finished, they continued with their impromptu photo op with Testa posing for the video before changing again to something more distinctly Arabian. Rimuru got the idea after seeing Juna's wardrobe for her broadcast but decided on something less gaudy. Still, with her midriff showing and her legs being discernable through the fabric, the outfit retained much of her sex appeal.
As she was enjoying her outfit, she slowly crawled up to Rimuru before tackling him on the bed, sealing his lips. If his reaction was anything to go by, he was quite surprised by the action, though he reciprocated in kind. However, their make out session didn't last too long as Testa pulled her head back and said between heavy breaths, "Oh, I'm really starting to feel that last glass- Ah!"
Rimuru swiftly pulled her back onto him as they continued to make out as soft giggles could be heard emanating from Testa's mouth. As this was happening, Ciel made her way to Hinata and asked, {You aren't going to join in?}
Hinata answered, "Drunk sex isn't as fun when one person's sober. Besides, this is a nice show."
Ciel moved herself so that she could lie her head down on Hinata's lap. {Fair point.} She continued after making herself more comfortable. {Master, don't you have other outfits to show her?}
Her words elicited an affirmative hum from him, and he rolled her over and said, "I almost forgot. Thanks for reminding me."
Getting a teal sports bra and equally colored capris, he urged Testa to put them on. Though she pouted a bit, which was made more adorable with her ruddy complexion covering her face, she agreed nonetheless and put on the clothes. Stretching herself out, she got to a point where she was doing the full splits before reaching for another glass of cider.
Before she could pour it, Rimuru laughed and said, "I think you've had enough. Anymore and you might black out."
Testa gave a groan of disapproval along with a pout, but a devilish smile soon crossed her face as soon as Rimuru's back was turned, and she immediately tried to take his pants off, saying, "If I can't have anymore alcohol, I want something else down my throat~"
It didn't take much more encouragement for Rimuru to take the rest into his hands, and Testa helped by going back into doing the splits while arching her back and opening her mouth. Rimuru's phallus quickly sunk deep into her throat, and her lips covered all the way to the base as his hands wrapped around her head, messing up her hair as her spittle was sliding down her face.
As muffled gagging sounds filled the air, Ciel asked Hinata, {You still don't want to join in?}
Hinata would be lying if she said that she didn't want to join in, as she slowly found herself getting heated up by watching Rimuru pump himself in and out of Testa's mouth. Still, she felt that getting the video for her personal collection was more important for the time being. "Nah… well, maybe a bit later."
They continued watching the rough facefuck before they saw Testa taking the first load of the night down her throat. As he exited her mouth, her throat looked like it was deflating from the bulge no longer being there. They both were breathing heavy as Testa was coughing a little from exerting herself while Rimuru lied down on the bed.
After catching her breath, she changed into her next outfit, the one piece black and white swimsuit, and climbed on top of him. Once she was in a comfortable position, she asked Hinata, "Hey, when you have sex drunk, is it normally this exhausting?"
"No, but then again, I'm normally never that drunk."
Rimuru chimed in, "It's true. Hinata doesn't drink much, and even when she does, she's more tipsy than drunk."
Ending their talk with a thrust upward, Testa let out a mild yelp and got the message. Fortunately, she was still coherent enough to remember her lessons on what to do on top, courtesy from Hinata, Ciel, and Shion. Gyrating her hips to form letters, moans of pleasure quickly flooded the room as her face morphed into one of ecstasy.
One thing the camera didn't catch was Ciel being sly with her fingers finding their way down Hinata's pants. While she didn't let that affect her camerawork, it was possible to make out the occasional heavy pants through the sonorous moans from Testa.
They went for a couple more positions before they settled with Rimuru behind Testa, both on their knees as he was hugging her to his chest, forcing her in an upright position. Her ample breasts bounced and jiggled every direction from his strong thrusts, each one drawing out powerful shrieks of pleasure from her. It wasn't long before her body started seizing up, marking the first orgasm she received of the night. Rimuru quickly followed, his pace slowing as he collapsed on top of her while dumping his seed deep within her cavern.
Once they were finished, Testa's face melted into one of pure satisfaction, her eyes looking like they barely recognized their surroundings. Rimuru, for his part, didn't look much better. Sex took quite a toll on him when he was drinking, so rather than being ready for another round, he was still panting while resting his head in the crook between Testa's neck and head.
Unfortunately for him, it seemed that Ciel had no intention of letting him rest. Getting up from Hinata after giving her a light orgasm, she pried him off Testa, removed her pants, and sat herself on his length. The video didn't capture anything more of that, as Hinata was more focused on Testa, and she approached the demon while the bed was rhythmically creaking from Ceil and Rimuru.
Through Ciel's moans, she asked, "Are you really done after one orgasm?"
Testa was able to regain enough of her faculties to respond, albeit weakly. "Just… just give me a moment…"
"Well, I have one more outfit I want you to try on. If you're too tired, I can put it on for you."
She got a groan in response, but Testa nonetheless agreed as she tugged at her magically created swimsuit, causing it to disappear. The camera was then placed down on the bed, picking up bits and pieces of what was going on in the room, before revealing the final outfit.
The pink French maid outfit was one that Luminous initially crafted up to hopefully try and convince Hinata to wear, but when she revealed it to her, Hinata just looked at her like she'd lost her mind. Still, she decided to keep it, mainly because she wanted to do the exact same thing to Rimuru, but she was never able to find a chance for it. This resulted, eventually, with Testa winding up to be the one to wear it.
Once she put it on, and with the high of her orgasm finally passing, she said, "This is… surprisingly comfortable. Though it's way too pink."
Looking back at Rimuru and Ciel, she added on, "Why are you the only one not having fun?"
She responded, "I'm having my own version-" She was cut off by her own sigh as Testa, seemingly not caring about her response, reached for her pants. She wanted to say that she was fine sitting this one out, but since Testa seemed to be so insistent, she raised her hips to better allow Testa to take off the bottom half of her clothes. Grabbing a pillow, she laid down while Testa began spreading and admiring her legs as well as what was in between them.
Running her hands through her shaven pubes, Testa remarked, "You take really good care of yourself."
God, is she so drunk that she forgot that spiritual beings don't even need to take care of their body?
Unaware of the thoughts going through her head, Testa began kissing her inner thighs, slowly making her way towards her folds. Hinata was watching this play out, reaching a hand down to run her fingers in Testa's hair. She continued to work her way towards her target before eventually running a finger in between her folds, feeling her wetness before licking off her finger.
In the very next instant, Hinata felt her bury herself in between her legs, vicariously lapping up whatever juices she was letting out while sticking her tongue in her walls. Hinata was struggling a bit between letting the camera down to enjoy the moment and filming Testa eating her out. Since the video kept on going, it was obvious which urge won out.
While the video was a bit shaky at times, it still captured Testa licking away at Hinata, wrapping her arms around her thighs, raising them to get better access. Managing to get soft moans out of the woman, this continued for a few minutes before the camera briefly turned to Rimuru and Ciel, still in the same position, unleash his final load in her as his body wasn't able to keep its shape, going back into his slime form.
The video panned back to Testa, drunkenly continuing to suck, kiss, and lick her vulva, quietly filling the room with Hinata's soft moans. Eventually, her left hand found its way under her shirt, and began kneading her breast. The pleasure began compounding as she continued to roll her nipples with her fingers as Testa finally decided to amp up her efforts, sticking two fingers in her walls as she focused on her clit with her tongue.
Soon after, the subtle quivering that Testa has been working towards coiled around her fingers as Hinata had her first proper orgasm of the night. Testa raised her face, her saliva and Hinata's juices running down her chin, to look at her work. As she saw Hinata's chest heaving from her breaths, she gave a wide smile…
… and then fell asleep on her thigh.
The video cut out soon after, and the only words that came out of Testa's mouth after it ended were, "I'm never drinking again…"
Both Ciel and Hinata looked at her with knowing smiles before Hinata gave voice to what you were thinking. "Yeah, you and everyone else says that. At least until the next social gathering."
The three went and got ready for the day, along with a now awake Rimuru, and came down to meet with the others. The third day of their occupation consisted of the official start of getting food to the people of Van, as well as the start of other benefits for the country. However, the food that they had for the people would be gone within a week, and that was among the more optimistic outlooks. Fortunately, Poncho had a suggestion that would curb that for the time being, and that was to harvest something called the beguiling lily rootstalk that was known to grow in mountainous regions, and Amidonia was no exception.
The only problem with this was that, as the name suggests, the beguiling lily had a powerful hallucinogenic effect. A few wouldn't do anything, but a field of hundreds, or even thousands, and it was a much different story. There was even an incident a couple decades back when a large patrol unit came across a field of these and wound up walking off a cliff to their deaths.
Fortunately, there was an animal, a type of orangutang known as shoujou, who could get the job done. Poncho knew about these types of orangutangs from his travels getting food from all sorts of places, and the Empire in particular trained these types of animals to harvest the roots for them. And as luck would have it, they are also in the same region as the lilies.
Normally, that's where things would end, as it would take a considerable amount of time to train these orangutangs, but they had Tomoe on their side. Someone who can communicate with animals. Naturally, since she couldn't do this on her own, she needed people to escort her. And with the ease of someone breathing, Rimuru recommended his services.
There was surprisingly little pushback from the others when he recommended this, and the only ones who did were Ludwin, who wished that they would be in a place more protected, and Hakuya, who wanted Rimuru to help with the logistics of the armory. With Amidonia being largely a militaristic state, they had an overabundance of weapons and armor, both of which were impressive in quality. And as such, would fetch a decent price. However, the reason why Hakuya wanted more hands-on deck for this is because eventually, Van would have to be turned over back to Amidonia, and the more they could reduce their potential, the better.
Taking the Hero's Sack with them, the item that was modified to fit far more than what it looked like it could handle, they set off. Fortunately for Tomoe, as well as the soldiers that came along with them, the hilly region was much cooler than the capital. However, Rimuru still had a complaint.
"Why exactly am I the one hauling this?"
Naturally, because of the hilly region, it was difficult to utilize the use of animals beyond horses. On top of that, any sort of carriage, or anything with wheels really, weren't able to make the journey up the hillside due to Amidonia not bothering to maintain the roads that were initially created. They simply didn't see them as useful. This resorted with Rimuru carrying the Hero's Sack filled with what they intended to barter with the orangutangs. That being barrels of alcohol, as according to Poncho, they were infatuated with the liquid.
Tomoe, sitting atop a horse along with Hinata, said "It's because Sir Rimuru's big and- It's because Sir Rimuru's strong!"
Her adorable innocence when saying something that sounded like she was chiding him was a bit too much for Hinata to keep a straight face, and she folded over in silent laughter, desperately trying not to let any of it out. Even Testa was struggling with her reaction of whether she should see that as a compliment to him or lightly rebuke her for it.
Tomoe, ignorant to her thoughts, turned to look back at Hinata and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Once Hinata regained enough of her mental faculties to actually form words, she said, "No… don't worry about it. You're just cute."
She turned to look back at Rimuru, who was walking due to the excess weight he was carrying, and said, "It's nice to have a strong man do the heavy lifting."
Rimuru, knowing damn well that she could easily carry it without so much as breaking a sweat, gave her a mock laugh. While he didn't show it too much, he was carrying almost 150kg of alcohol, and they unfortunately had to maintain appearances in front of people who weren't Souma, Liscia, Aisha, or Juna. Since it was known that Rimuru was able to hold his own against both Castor and Gaius, it wasn't seen as weird that he could carry weight like that.
Tomoe, still feeling like she did something wrong, wanted to try and lift the odd air that lingered before her wolf ears twitched, picking up some sound. Noticing this, Hinata asked, "Oh, do you hear them?"
She happily squeaked out a yes, and they went in the direction of where she heard the sound. As they got closer, they started to see some of the beguiling lilies growing, and the apes soon after. However, they decided not to go any further beyond this point. Of course, Rimuru, Testa, and Hinata were immune to the lilies, but the others weren't. Right now, the wind was pretty stagnant, so the pollen wasn't going anywhere, but if it were to pick up and head in their direction, they would be in a bit of a pickle.
So, instead, Tomoe called out to the orangutangs, who sauntered over to their position. Something that Rimuru noted about these types of animals was that they had all the normal features of orangutangs from earth, however, instead of the orange fur that they are known for back on earth, these species had a bright purple sheen of fur covering their bodies.
Once they got over to where they were, Rimuru and Testa were once again privy to how her magic works. While most thought that she could simply speak to an animal and they would understand her, the reality was quite a bit more in depth. One of the big reasons language exists today is simply as a means to convey intent. Of course, people could use language to lie and manipulate, but if you're able to understand more of how someone communicates, for example their actions and body language, you could more easily ascertain their intent.
Tomoe's magic is akin to this. She can easily perceive the intent of any animal, excluding those who are sentient, and she can put it into words. Similarly, she can say words, whatever words she wants, really, and her intent can be easily understood by other animals. So, while it isn't wrong to say that she can speak to animals, it's more accurate to say that she can communicate with them on a deeper level than anyone else. After all, someone can understand what animals like a dog or horse want or need after enough time with them.
With Tomoe working her magic, and Rimuru providing the alcohol, the orangutangs worked at breakneck speeds, and within a couple hours, they had enough lily roots for the foreseeable future. When they got enough, they headed back to feed the populace, marking one major thing done for Souma's plan.
