10 Eat this

"Eat this"

"NOT THIS AGAIN!"

Rimuru can't help but get irritated by the blonde dragon who makes the face of a certain number-one hero, again.

"Pseudo core heart... it has a few my Dragon factors, it'll help with your next evolution. You'd become more powerful in your next evolution."

Veldora stated this after dinner.

Rimuru, with a dark-stern face, looks at him, "You haven't learned your lesson are you?"

"Come on now, I am just trying to make you stronger. You know I don't want anything bad to happen to you, Rimuru."

To which, Rimuru responded with a glance of wide eyes.

"A- ah, of course, I know that..." With a little bit of guilt and embarrassment mixed inside, she delivered those words while looking away.

She does approve of Veldora's reasoning, she even asked Great Sage about it and she concluded it'll give her the best outcome.

But if she had to change into some unknown race, a woman, or worse... A huge monstrosity due to the Dragon's experiments, she'd prefer being CRUSHED TO DEATH by a meteorite.

"oh well, I'll make sure to weaken the link between the corridor when your evolution happens so as to not give Voice of the world the wrong idea that you are my subordinate. That way, you'd be able to wish how you want your powers to be... And your gender, probably."

"... I see." (A/N: She doesn't)

Suddenly,

«Report»

A notification came from great sage.

A huge surge amount of power is making its way in this direction.

"Benimaru, tell everyone else to evacuate." (Rimuru)

"Well, this is a very interesting one..." (Veldora)

The King of the Dwarves came with his pegasus knights unit, they soars through the sky and landed in front of the entrance to the new town.

And just after the king, Gazel Dwargo landed...

"This isn't the courtroom, so it's fine if we speak without permission isn't it?" Rimuru in her casual clothes-- Which is a sailor uniform, asked with a forced smile on her face.

She inwardly cursed both Veldora and Shuna who dressed her up before this occasion.

A subordinate sensed hostility in Rimuru's words and draw his sword, but his king gestured him to stop.

"You are... You are undoubtedly that slime." The dwarf king mutters.

"Rimuru, it's Rimuru Tempest."

Suddenly Veldora stated that as he descended from the sky, it was formerly Gravity Manipulation which Veldora evolved into Law Manipulation throughout the years of his skill set despite not being able to use it before.

The King widened his eyes, "As I thought, so the storm dragon has been freed." Veldora has given him a few chances to feel his Haki, yet the king already knows who he was at a glance.

"S-storm dragon!?"

"That veldora!?"

The humanoid dragon paid no heed to the crowds of dwarfs in their stunning armor when he step his food on the ground his black cloaks fluttering from the Magicules' excrement.

After he landed, "What matters do you have, Dwarf King"

The King stared at him a little before deciding to tell the truth.

"...We come to judge the true nature of your subordinate. We were convinced of her existence, and we wish to build a friendly relationship."

Honestly, the dwarf king himself wished that the reports of his spy weren't true. That is the fact the slime was actually a subordinate of the Evil dragon Veldora himself... A living catastrophe from 2000 years ago, but if there's a chance...

If there's a slight chance his subordinate, the slime who is now human with a "good" personality, is a huge factor that can change the current situation, then the dwarf will take it.

He swore that his men will get home alive.

"You made two errors in your judgment."

Veldora delivered those lines as he folded his arms on his chest.

"First: Rimuru is the one leading these monsters. I have no absolute say in everything she wants."

Translation: If you want to "test" Rimuru's real nature then do it yourself. Don't ask me.

"And second: Rimuru is not my subordinate... She's my partner."

Translation: Don't call her that ever again.

"J-JURA TEMPEST FEDERATION!" Rimuru announced the name of this new country.

Jura Tempest Federation, Country of Monsters. After a few drinks with the king of dwarfs somehow it led her to become a leader of a country.

Seriously, she wasn't even expecting that before. All the things that Veldora told her somehow showed one by one into reality.

But truthfully speaking, she was just concerned about the unconscious prime minister that was "delivered" by the Dwarf King himself, calling him a "gift". But that's a story for another time.

"Like what you said... Am I... Really going to become a demon lord?"

She wondered if what he said would come true: the fact that she would sooner or later, become a Demon Lord.

Veldora answers her question, "That'll most likely happen. The worst case scenario would be one of our comrades die at the enemy's hands. And you raged, before becoming one."

"How do you know I would rage?"

"I just knew, maybe you will try your best to hide it. But you'll resolve yourself to find retribution."

"Do I... Really look like that?"

Under the beautiful light of a full moon at midnight, Veldora sat next to her and placed a hand on top of her hand before forcefully turning her face at him. "GAHK--!"

"As of now, no... You don't. But what if they died at the hands of humans? Specifically, what if Shion was their victim?"

"Wha--!?"

Both golden eyes of reptilian and human locked onto each other as the humanoid slime opened her mouth.

"B- But still... I don't want to kill..." She bit her lips and frowned. The thought of taking someone else's life is never a good light she would ever chase, not even in a few of her inner monologues.

"You don't have to."

"...huh?"

"You don't have to... You just need to be strong. You don't have to become a demon lord... If you don't like it either, then you don't have to do anything..."

The dragon showed no emotions while stating those words, yet those glowing reptilian eyes that shone with gold gave Rimuru a mysterious comfort that she never felt before.

"I can take care of it for you."

"WAHAHAHA! I have come to say hi-noda!"

A demon lord with Platinum Pink hair and flat che-- "I see, hello to you too. I am Veldora, your uncle".

No, Veldora did not mean that in the Chinese stereotypical way. He is LITERALLY her uncle.

"So you're Veldora-noda!?" The girl asked the blonde dragon excitedly.

"That's Veldora Oji-san to you."

A few days after the dwarf king's visit, the demon lord who wields the title of "The Destroyer" lands on the part of Rimuru's land which created a small-huge crater on the ground.

And then, Veldora fought with his niece for a good 2 days before calling it a draw after Rimuru shoved a gelatinous goo of honey into her mouth.

"Eat this!"

Unfortunately, she didn't make a reference.

"What is this-noda!? I've never tasted anything like this-noda!!"

For some reason, they avoided the whole catastrophe peacefully.
