61 Chapter 61: Shion's Food

"Eat up, Mom, then maybe your memories will return," I said and tried my best not to laugh seeing Rimuru's horrified face seeing Shion's food.

He was looking at me with a look that screamed, 'TRAITOR!'

"So... Umm... This is Lord Rimuru's son?" Benimaru asked, looking at me.

"Yup," I said with a bright smile.

He then looked at Rimuru and the bowl with Shion's cooking and had a face that told me he rather not question it any further.

Rimuru looked at the food and then at, before he had a look of enlightenment, "My son, how could I forget you? How about having a meal with me."

Is he trying to use me to escape? I smirked mentally, "Of course, Mom," I said with a smile before sitting next to him. With all of my resistance skills, I should be alright after eating this.

At this point, Rimuru was sweating as what I assumed was his plan had failed.

Somehow Shion instantly placed another bowl of 'food', "Eat up," She said with a smile.

Rimuru and I both shared a look before we took a spoon full of the purple food.

At the same time, we ate it, and I started chewing it before swallowing it.

...

..

.

It wasn't that bad. I had worse in my previous life. I continued eating, minding my own business and could hear a gasp from Benimaru and Souei even who was still hiding.

"Impossible!" He said, looking at me like I was some kind of monster.

"Is something wrong, Uncle Benimaru? Are you hungry too? I'm sure Aunt Shion would make you some if you want." I said and saw him look paler with each second.

"N-No, no, no, I just ate before coming here." He said, waving his hands franticly.

I looked to my side where Rimuru was before but didn't see him there anymore, "Huh? Where is Mom?" I asked before looking down and noticing him melting, "Oh..." I'm sure he will survive this...

"Emm... Young Master Cale, can I ask you, why are you calling Lord Rimuru mom?" Benimaru asked me.

"Oh!" I perked up and smiled, "Because it's fun seeing his reactions when I call him Mom instead of Dad."

"I see..." He replied awkwardly, looking between the slowly recovering Rimuru and me, "Then are you really Lord Rimuru's son?

"Ummm... I was born from his magicules," I said, using [Universal Shapeshift] to change into a slime before quickly returning to my Rimuru-form. Something that took me lots of time to perfect. Changing my appearance to a humanoid was easy to do, but changing into something like slime was slightly harder for me.

"But even if you were born from Lord Rimuru's magicules, how could you know all of us?" He asked, still suspicious but trying to hide it.

Acting embarrassed, I scratched my cheek, "Well, after I was born, I tried to find Rimuru but got lost before meeting a nice guy who gave me a name. I think his name was Ashborn. After that, I was scared Dad wouldn't like me, so I observed everyone before showing myself to Dad."

"I'M ALIVE!" Rimuru screamed while crying before looking at me and the empty bowl, "How are you alive after eating that?!" He asked, surprised.

"Sniff.." I pretended to cry, "Aunt Shion, Mom doesn't want me, and said your food is bad..."

A dark aura appeared behind us, and Rimuru instantly shuddered in fear and looked at me with pleading eyes to save him.

I think that was enough fun, so I will help him this time, "Mom, can we go and see Uncle Hakurou?"

"Yes, that's a good idea!" Rimuru said and quickly dragged me away.

"I'm safe," Rimuru breathed a sigh of relief before turning his attention to me, "So now... Emmm... Son?"

"Yeah, Mom?" I asked with a smile.

"Firstly, it's Dad. I'm a guy!" He said, almost crying.

"Okay, Mom," I said with a salute.

I saw his eyes twitching, "Okay, the second question, how are you, my son?"

"Oh! Right! You fell asleep while eating, so you didn't hear," I then proceeded to explain everything as I did to Benimaru.

...

"Okay, okay, so if I got everything right," Rimuru paused for a moment to gather his thoughts, "You were born from my magicules near the sealed cave and then tried to find me before meeting Ashborn, who gave you a name then you observed us because you where scared before eventually deciding to show yourself? Did I miss something?" He asked.

"No, I think that's it," I stopped and pretended to think, "Oh, now that I remember, Ashborn said that he was looking after the person that made Veldora disappear and looked angry."

Rimuru looked scared for a moment, "Are you sure his name was Ashborn?" He asked, and I nodded. Am I really that scary?

"Mom, why are you so scared of Mister Ashborn? He was nice and even gave me this book." I said, taking out a book with Dragon Ball on the cover.

Rimuru Tempest POV:

Okay, so I now have a son... I got a son, and I'm still a virgin...

Not only that, but he also calls me Mom instead of Dad.

"Mom, why are you so scared of Mister Ashborn? He was nice and even gave me this book." He said, taking out a book with Dragon Ball on the cover.

Wait, is that!? Oh, right, I forgot Veldora said Ashborn used to give him mangas or, as they called it, sacred texts.

Wait... This could work, 'Great Sage, what are the chances of him starting calling me dad after giving him more manga?'

[Notice. Approximately 95%.]

YES! 'Great Sage, create all the Dragon Ball Mangas and others.' Even if I'm genderless, I don't want to be called a Mom.

[Notice. Task Complete.]

"Hey, Cale, Look what I have," I showed him the manga in my hand, "If you start calling me Dad, then I will give you this one and many more."

I think I saw stars in his eyes as he snatched the manga out of my hands and hugged me, "Thanks, Dad!"

Good, now, instead of being a single mother, I have become a single father...
