"Hello there, you two little fellows."
The Storm Dragon looked at Nolee with some surprise. In his impression, many weak creatures would follow their instinctive reaction when seeing him—fear to the point of fleeing. Rimuru was a clear example of this. For someone like Noleeto remain so calm was truly a first.
"Hello, powerful dragon."
Nolee said calmly. Though he had a young dragon's body, he showed no fear whatsoever.
"Boss, let's run quickly. We can't beat this giant dragon."
Rimuru said tremblingly inNolee's embrace.
"Don't be afraid, little one. I won't harm you. You don't need to run. I really won't harm you."
Hearing Rimuru say she wanted to flee, the giant dragon seemed somewhat anxious, raising his dragon claw and explaining somewhat flustered.
Looking at Veldora's appearance, Nolee found it somewhat novel. It seemed that after being sealed here for three hundred years, Veldora was truly bored to death—otherwise, he wouldn't have this expression.
"It's fine. I don't sense any malice from this giant dragon. And think about it—even if he wanted to harm us, do you think we could escape?"
Noelle stroked the slime in his embrace and patiently explained.
"Great Sage, is it really like this? Does this giant dragon really have no malice toward us?"
Rimuru seemed somewhat uncertain and asked Great Sage in her mind again.
[Please rest assured, host. After detection, the other party has no malice toward the host and others. Detection shows the target contains a powerful amount of magical energy. The gap between the host and others and the target is too great. Even if there were hostility, the host and companion would be unable to escape.]
[Moreover, a powerful seal has been detected on the target. The target should have been sealed here by some powerful being. Overall assessment: "No threat." Please rest assured, host.]
Hearing Great Sage's explanation, only then did Rimuru let her worried heart settle down.
"Hello, powerful giant dragon. I am a harmless, kind slime."
Rimuru followed suit, greeting the giant dragon before her just as Nolee had done.
"Hello. I am the powerful dragon species, the world's strongest [Storm Dragon]—Veldora."
The giant dragon before them said with a proud expression.
Looking at the giant dragon's chuunibyou appearance, Nolee couldn't help but feel speechless.
"Truly worthy of being called the Chuunibyou Dragon by numerous netizens in the previous life. Chuunibyou enough. However, if you're the strongest, why would you be sealed here by the strongest hero? Not to mention this hero—if your second and third sisters were called here to see you, would you still dare to be so arrogant?"
"However, although what the Storm Dragon said was jest, his strength is indeed at the top level of this world. In this world, while he can't rank in the top three, entering the top ten is no problem. At least in the early period, there really aren't many who can fight with the Storm Dragon."
"If you're the strongest, how did you get sealed here?"
At this time, Rimuru said, tearing down his act.
Hearing what Rimuru said, Nolee couldn't help but have a dark expression. Even if it's fake, you can't just say it to his face like that.
At this moment, Nolee covered Rimuru's mouth.
"Sorry, my friend doesn't know how to speak properly. Please don't mind too much."
Nolee explained.
Only then did Rimuru realize—you just met someone and immediately tear down their act. Isn't this making them lose face in public?
"Sorry, sorry. I misspoke."
Rimuru hurriedly explained.
At first, Veldora was somewhat embarrassed, but hearing Rimuru's apology, he took the opportunity to save face.
"It's fine. I am the great Storm Dragon Veldora. How could I care about such unintentional words?"
Veldora said with a laugh.
"So, you called out to us—is there something you need?"
At this time, Nolee inquired of Veldora.
Hearing what Nolee said, Veldora seemed stumped by the question, then let out a helpless sigh.
"Actually, I've been sealed here for a full three hundred years. Do you know? A full three hundred years! I've been alone here for three hundred years. I was truly bored to death, so I called out to you, wanting you to chat with me."
Veldora's voice was filled with lonely emotion.
"Is that all?"
Rimuru said somewhat incredulously.
"If you won't harm me, I'm very willing to accept your request. And I'm also very curious about why you were sealed here."
Rimuru expressed indifference—it was just chatting. She thought it was some big deal.
"What about you, the other little one?"
At this time, Veldora turned his gaze toNolee.
"I sensed the aura of loneliness from your words. Being sealed here alone for three hundred years must be very lonely and solitary, right?"
Nolee directed his gaze toward Veldora.
"Little one, what joke are you making? I am one of the four great dragon species remaining in this world, the great Storm Dragon Veldora. How could I feel lonely?"
Veldora still wanted to argue.
But being looked at byNolee's eyes, he felt somewhat guilty, yet still stubbornly refused to admit it.
Looking at Veldora's tsundere appearance, Nolee couldn't help but want to laugh.
This was truly worthy of being the Tsundere Dragon—even after being seen through, still so stubborn.
Then Nolee said:
"It would be my honor to communicate with a powerful being like you. And I'm also as curious as this slime about who could seal such a powerful giant dragon like you here."
"Seeing as you're so polite, I'll forgive your unintentional words."
Veldora said with a tsundere expression.
"Alright then, where shall we start chatting?"
Veldora said somewhat impatiently.
"How about this—first give us an introduction to this world?"
Noleeproposed.
"Right, right! We two were reincarnated here and still don't know what this world is really like!"
Rimuru looked curious.
After saying this, Rimuru covered her own mouth.
According to Rimuru's thinking, things like transmigration and reincarnation couldn't be casually mentioned to outsiders.
"So you two are otherworlders."
Veldora said with some surprise at this time.
"Is it very rare?"
Rimuru said with a somewhat trembling voice.
"You don't need to be afraid. This world isn't without otherworlders. On the contrary, there are quite a few otherworlders in this world."
Veldora explained, seeing Rimuru's frightened appearance.
"Really?"
Rimuru said somewhat surprised.
"Alright, let's just listen to what Veldora has to say."
Nolee said while stroking the slime in his embrace.
Then Veldora explained to Rimuru and Noleeknowledge about this world and many different races. Even monsters were divided into three types: ordinary, special, and named. There were also different races like spirits, dwarves, vampires, demons, etc., as well as common knowledge that otherworlders in this world were divided into reincarnators and otherworld visitors.
He also told them who sealed him here and why he was sealed here, among other matters.
