Rizaku's POV:
It's been a few days since we left Dwargon. Kaijin and the Dwarves were utterly shocked when they found out that we have giant wolves as pets, and a village full of hobgoblins, but quickly came to terms with it. When we arrived at the village, we saw Rigurd flexing his damn muscles. 'Hmph, it's not like I'm jealous or something, I envious of his muscles. Well, I don't want that type of muscles, it's weird. Haha. Leave that aside.' Behind Rigurd there were nearly 700 goblins who greeted us, seeking our protection. Why the hell there are 200 more isn't it supposed to be 500 goblins!? Rimuru accepted and dragged me along with him to name them. I had to name half of them while Rimuru name the other half. But I convinced Rimuru and I named 70% of the goblins. I glanced at Rimuru. 'Seems like he's happy.' Well, good for him.
'Hmm, I think I heard Veldora screaming from Rimuru's stomach. I wonder why he is screaming. I just felt not like I can see inside someone's stomach.'
Kaijin started teaching the hobgoblins how to blacksmith. The one who are interested only. Garm, Dord, and Myrd were teaching them several things like architecture, clothing, craftsmanship, and armor. Right now, I am in the middle of a dirt road with Rimuru in my hands. 'His Slime form really is so cute.' After a few days Shizue-San will also arrive. 'Should I prepare something. Let's ask Rimuru.'
"Rimuru"
"Hmm, What is it?"
"Big bro, I was thinking about making something like a Japanese house or something. what do you think about it? Should I make one or not?" I asked him.
"Well, that's upto you. If you make one then also make one for me."
"Okay. I will also make one for you but not right now. I will have to gather a large amount of Magicules. After that I'll make one."
"Okay~" Rimuru said with a smile. 'He seems to be happy about his new personal house. Well, good for him. 'Solomon' gather... Wait, I forgot I have my Unique Skill 'Magicule Generator', right?' [Yes‚ Master.]
It's good.
'Then, generate as much Magicules you can. Afterall, during my fights I'll have to rely on them. I'll also have to gain experience. 'Solomon', I want you to train me. The training ground... Mmm, yeah! I know one. Solomon, Can we train in my Demi-Plane or Stomach or whatever it is called.' [Okay, Master.]
Solomon had said Okay but... 'Solomon' [Yes, Master.] 'Use my Unique Skill 'Records' and gimme all the memories or records of all sword experiences.' [... Right away, Master.] 'Why did you stopped for 0.4 seconds or something.' [It's just you imagination.] *Sigh*
Why I said her to use the Unique Skill? Coz' when I asked her to train me I felt cold sweat running down my spine. I know. She will be giving me hell of a training. So, I used my Unique Skill 'Records'. Hehe.
[Master, the transferring of the sword experience is completed. You have now gained all of sword experiences.] Her tone sounded somewhat... Never mind. Let's ignore this.
'Thank you, Solomon.'
[No problem, Master. It's my job.]
Now let's see.
«Time-Skip»
'It's always surprising to see how fast they learn. Tempest will become a full-blown city within a year. I'm looking forward to that. Hmm, I think it's almost time for Shizue-San to arrive. I should be ready to welcome them.'
Meanwhile Rigurd also came running towards us. 'Seems like Shizue-San and the idiot trio also came. Let's see.'
"Rizaku-Sama, Rimuru-Sama!!" Rigurd, The Goblin King arrived. 'Wow! That was fast, really fast. I didn't expected him to run this fast.'
"What's up, Rigurd?" Rimuru asked him.
"We received a message from Rigur and the security team. It seems they've discovered suspicious beings in the forest." Rigurd The Great Goblin King answered. 'Haha.'
"Monsters?"
"No, Humans."
"Humans?"
"They may be scouts from some nation hoping to expand it's dominion."
"Why don't you invite them here since they are the first humans to come near our village? I will go make some ramen and gyoza for them to eat." I said to Rimuru.
(Ugh, you know I don't have any taste buds. Stop mentioning those foods name in front of me!) Rimuru complained me with Thought Communication.
(Don't worry! When you will gain a human body, then you too will be able to taste. Don't take it to your heart. Even though you don't have. Coz' you are a Slime. Yohohoho!!)
"Sure, I will be going then." He completely ignored me. *Sigh*
Rimuru jumped off from my hands and rode Raiga away. I turned my head and saw Rigurd still standing in front of me. 'Well, let's make a house first.'
"Rigurd"
"Yes, Rizaku-Sama?"
"Follow me!"
I brought him to an empty patch of land. 'Hmm, this land should be fine. Let's make it here. Now that I think a small traditional Japanese house should be fine. Like my old house. Yeah!"
"Rigurd, when Rimuru comes back with the humans, call them here."
"Hai, Rizaku-Sama, do you want to set a tent here?" 'Well, not right now.'
"No need, Rigurd. Just wait and watch."
'Rigurd's staring at me with a confused look. Well, let's tell him.'
"You see, Rigurd. I'm gonna make a house. After that you also will have a question why I didn't make a house? If I was capable of such thing. You see, while making things or something it requires a very large amount of Magicules. So, I didn't used it until now." I lied a little.
"I understand, Rizaku-Sama." He then bowed down a little.
"Okay, let's do it!"
'Solomon, create a small traditional Japanese house for the guest or should I say Shizue-San and the idiot trio to stay in.'
[On it, Master.]
'Oh! That's a new phrase.'
[Thanks... Master]
'...'
'Huhhh!? I was totally surprised. Seems like you are learning all the manners or whatever it is. Seems like you are learning emotions really fast. I'm happy for you.'
[...] Seems like she is embarrassed.
After our conversation a large amount of Magicules left my body and form a house-like shape in front of me. It slowly materialized into a small traditional Japanese house with a square table in the middle. 'Hmm, my Magicules didn't decrease at all. Seems like these Magicules are used from my stored Magicules in the Demi-Plane.'
Rigurd watched in awe as one of his master created a house. 'His eyes were sparkling with stars.'
"S-such Skill! As expected of Rizaku-Sama. What he says he will do it it. Glory for Rizaku-Sama!" He praised me.
"My Master is really amazing!" Ranga popped his head out from my shadow. I petted his head a few times before he went back inside my Shadow.
"Call them here, ok? Don't worry about the food, I've got that."
"Hai!" Rigurd left the scene. I walked inside the house and closed the sliding doors. 'These doors are really smooth. As expected from my partner or should I say future wife. Fufu!' [...] Then I stood in front of the table and looked at the table. Hmm
[Create four bowls of tonkotsu ramen and one big platter of gyoza? Yes/No]
'Huh!' I didn't knew she would ask me directly. Without even waiting for my call. *Sigh* 'What should I do?'
[...Yes/No]
I should just say 'yes' for now. She is becoming more and more independent.
'Yes'
And so just like that, one bowl of ramen appeared on each side of the table with a giant platter of gyoza in the middle. After that, I went outside the house and sat on the porch, waiting for Rimuru. 'Hmm, I should make some grand introduction. Like flashing magic power. (Going back to his chuuni*) Aaa, my chunni is catching me again. I have been able to suppress my chuunibyo diease, but... It is catching me more and more. *Sigh* What should I do now?
'Btw, 'Solomon'. Did you create any new skill. I just felt like I have one more Ultimate Skill.'
[... Yes, Master.]
'I see. So, what is the name of this Ultimate Skill. Also give me the details.'
[Understood, Master. The name of this Ultimate Skill is 'Defense Lord Anicetus.' This Ultimate Skill is the combination of Unique Skill 'Creation's anti-skill and Unique Skill 'Guardian' with Physical Attack Nullification, Spiritual Attack Nullification.
This Ultimate Skill 'Defense Lord Anicetus is a skill that specialized in defence against anything physical, spiritual or skill related, meaning if there in any magic / spiritual / physical attacks involved, it will completely nullify it, canceling their effect completely to 0% you won't feel anything, no matter the enemies' strength. With an absolute defence barrier that no one can easily penetrate.]
'Wow... that sounds busted, but... Now ist that mean I can't use Anti-Skil in creater.'
[Negative. Anti-skill is part of Unique Skill 'Creation'. So, Master can use Anti-Skill.]
'Well, since you have used this anti-skill to make an Ultimate Skill I don't think I need to worry about anything. Also I should start training with Rimuru. Let's start training after saving Shizue-san. I don't want my brother to be sad. Hmm, now that I think I don't think he will be happy about his son. Ahh! He can use spatial transformation to grow his son Haha. But...'
But in the main series I have never seen this skill. Even if it was there. I... Forgot.
'Well, whatever. She created a new Ultimate Skill. Now I will be able to protect my people. No matter the enemies' strength. But why I didn't heared any announcement. Normally the Voice of The World would anounce it but why me.'
[Master, I had suppressed the Voice of The World. That is why Master didn't heared the announcement.]
'Wow... that's cool. Didn't knew that you will suppress the Voice of the World's announcement.'
(A/N: Rizaku acknowledged them as their precious subordinates. Now, he will protect them no matter what.)
'Thank you, Solomon.'
[No problem, Master. It's my job.]
«Little Time-Skip»
Thirty minutes passed just by thinking about my chuunibyo diease and speaking with 'Solomon'.
Now there is only one solution.
'Solomon, Whenever I try go to my chuunibyo, you will have to stop me. Or you can help me cure my chuuni disease.'
[Understood, Master.] She somewhat seemed happy.
[No, it's just your imagination.]
'Solomon, there is no need to cure or help me with my chuunibyo disease.'
[... Understood] That's a long gap. *Sigh* Let's ignore her for now.
After I finished my conversation with Solomon. I saw Rigurd walking in my direction, followed by Rimuru and the idiot trio group of adventurers. 'Well, just for now. I'll let go my chuuni. Time for the show.'
"Yo, Big Bro! How was the little rescue mission. Did the..." I put one hand on my right eye and started speaking. "grand mission went well."
"It went well, but what's with that style. Have you gone mad or something. Are you okay?"
"No, no, no. I'm not mad. Now I am in my chuunibyo. No one can stop me. Keh-heh-heh, kuahahahahaha." I started Diablo's and Veldora's iconic laugh. Cool.
"Let's live that matter. But why haven't you BUILD THIS HOUSE EARLIER!? We've been sleeping in tent!"
Rimuru then screamed at me and continued to babble about how inconsiderate I am. I just ignored him and looked at the adventurers behind him.
"Jeez, Stop whining, Big Brother. And why are you screaming. Like I have taken your wife or something." I turned my gaze to him. "And don't tell me you already forgot about the conversation. About why I didn't or why I can't build a house?"
"Huh? Which conversation are you talking about? We didn't have any conversations like tha..." Rimuru paused for a moment. 'Seems like he remembered now.' "Wait, I remember now.I totally forgot about that. Hahaha."
"Okay. Enough of that, Big Bro Rimuru." I said then turned to the guests, "Hello! My name is Rizaku Tempest and this is my Big Brother, Rimuru Tempest. We're the Lords of this village and-"
I went back to my red slime form (the rarest slime in the whole existence) and danced around.
"We are not bad slimes. Keh-heh-heh!" I stole Rimuru's joke and added the iconic Diablo laugh.
"Y-yeah, what he said." Rimuru tried to join in.
"Pufft" Shizue-San's tiny laugh leaked out.
"""The Lords!?""" This trio will always be remaining idiots. 'Three idiots'
"Got a problem with that?" Rimuru asked the idiot trio.
"N-no!"
"A red slime?"
"I've never seen them before"
"Well, that's because I am the one and only red slime in existence. Kuahahahah."
"Wow, that's unique."
"Yeah, I know. Enough with that, and head inside. You all must be tired and hungry, so I made some food." I morphed into my human form and opened the door. " I made some hot tonkotsu ramen and lots of gyoza, go ahead help yourselves." The idiot trio rushed inside and started to munch on the food.
"Ohh! What is this!? So delicious!"
"This gyoza is amazing!"
"I call dibs on the last piece!"
They looked like monkeys. They really are the legendary three idiots. I was giggling thinking about the three monkeys. I turned my gaze towards Rimuru and saw him struggling to stay calm. I then turned Shizue-San, who is just silently staring at the scene. I could hear some sniffs under the mask. I feel sad for her. I literally cried after I get to know what she had been through. Let's not think about that. Or else I will be starting to cry.
"Are you ok, Shizue-San?" I aske her. Let's see her reaction.
"Sniff, I'm fine. This just brought some memor... Eh? How do you know my name?"
"Kufufufu, that's for me to know and for you to find out~," I said with the official laugh of Diablo.
"Come on, man. Stop messing around."
"Ahaha! Sorry, sorry." And just like that, me and the adventurers ate while depressed Rimuru sat by my side.
(I can understand you, Big Bro.)
(Yes, yes.) 'Eh!? What was that? Just for a second I felt cold sweat running down on my non-existing spine.'
(Big Brother, you are getting more and more scary.)
(Ugh!) Now he's not angry. *Sigh* Looks like I'm gonna get attached to him. I really love him. (A/N: This love not like the relationship between 2 opposite sex. It's the love between brothers.)
«Time-Skip»
Right now, me, Rimuru whom I'm carrying, and Shizue-San are on top of a hill.
"There's something I'd like to ask you." Rimuru started the conversation. 'Let's go along with the flow.'
"You are Japanese, right." I bluntly said. Both, Big Brother and Shizue-San were surprised by my remark. 'Hmm, Why are they surprised?'
"Yes, you are right. How did you know that I'm Japanese?"
"I have a Unique Skill called 'Records'. With that I can get absolute information only upto Unique ranks. So I tested whether if it's true or not by showing you some Japanese food and a house." I lied, I lied. I don't want to lie but for the better future I will have to lie.
"I see, are you both also from Japan?"
'''Yup, I am.''' We both replied in unison. Then I continued we are both Japanese, we both died together and both reincarnated as slimes. Just colour difference.
"So, both slime-sans are reincarnated?"
"Yeah, was it different from us?"
"I'm... a Summon."
"So when were you summoned here?"
(Why are you asking her such a sensitive question!?)
(Eh? Is it that sensitive?)
(Yeah)
(Well, there's no going back now.)
"A long time ago, my town was burning, engulfed in flames, bombs fell from the sky, my mother and I fled together, but then..."
"What happened to her?" Shizue just stayed silent with her eyes closed.
(Seriously?)
(I'm sorry)
"I'm sorry"
"It's ok."
"Hey, I know! I'll show you something fun!" Hmm, guess he's gonna show the modern world.
Then Rimuru used thought Communication on all of us. The first thing we saw was a lewd elf in the computer screen.
"She's pretty."
"Don't look!"
"Hoho, my big brother is one of a pervert~"
"Shut up. This is what I want to show." He started to show various scenes of modern Japan. 'It's really beautiful.'
"Wow, it's like the skyscrapers of New York that I saw on a picture postcard once."
"After the war ended, peace came to Japan. The towns aand the economy all boomed." Rimuru said
"Yup, it became one of the most peaceful countries in the world."
"I see, I'm so glad. I wish I could have saw my mother on this."
"I want to make this world one where everyone can live in peace, too."
"That's wonderful. I hope it really happens."
"That's a far fetched dream you know."
"Stop ruining the mood!"
"Well, since it's you. I think you will be able to create such a world. And I will always be there with you. Which ever step you take, which ever path you choose. I will always be there. Even if I have to go against the world. I will always help you."
"Thank you."
"Ugh!" The Thought Communication was cut off and Shizue-san clutch her chest in pain. 'Seems the time is coming soon.'
"Shizue-san!" Rimuru said in worry
"I'm sorry."
"Are you ok?" I asked. 'Even if I know the outcome. I would like to change it. Let's see.'
"Yes, I think so." Shizue-san replied.
"Rimuru-Danna, you got a minute?" Kaijin, who was a few metres away, called out to Rimuru.
"We'd like to talk to you about where to build a new house."
"Sure. See ya later, Shizue-san." Rimuru hopped to Kaijin.
"See you later."
They were walking away and I could hear their words. Haha.
"Was I interrupting?"
"Shut up!!"
"Now, don't be shy."
"I'm not!"
"But you're blushing."
"I don't change colour!"
I turned back to Shizue-san who was staring at the sunset. I walked and stood right beside her. 'Should I start a conversation. But the topic. What's should it be. Yeah! I know. Let's do that.'
"Leon sure has communication problems." I said
"Eh?" Shizue's eyes widened.
"If you're searching for Leon, he is long gone from this forest."
"H-how did you know?" Shizue was heartbroken to hear that her journey here was all for nothing. I feel bad about that.
"I have my ways... Did you know why I said Leon has communication problems?"
"I don't..."
"Well, he did not put a curse on you, you know. He actually saved you by putting that spirit in your body to calm down your rampaging Magicules. If he did not do that, you would have died. I never knew why he did not bother to explain. What a crap."
"...I-I see, but why is that spirit trying to control my body?"
"That spirit has a weak ego, I think he was trying to go back to Leon."
"Oh."
"I can save you, you know. I just need to replace that spirit in your body and you would be good as new."
"It's fine. I dislike living in this world and I want to atleast die as a human."
"I see..."
'Too bad I wanted to atleast save her, seems like I won't be able to save her. But that's her choice. Even if I save her now she won't be happy. That's what I think.' *Sigh*
«Time-Skip»
Currently, the idiot trio and Shizue-san are saying goodbye to us.
'Well, Shizue-san might be saying that in a literal sense.'
As they were about to leave Shizue-san stopped her track. That was when I knew Ifrit would come out. Let's beat him into pulp. And then Veldora will get a partner to play Shogi with him.
"Rigurd, Rigur! Quick evacuate everyone from this area! I'm having a bad feeling about this." I ordered them.
"""Brother? / Rizaku-Sama? / Rizaku-san?""" They all questioned me at the same time.
"Just do it!" I ordered them.
