Chapter 42
This answer made Rimuru stunned for a moment. He really had some clues about this combination. After all, those two people left a very deep impression on him, but he couldn't be sure whether they were the people the other party was looking for.
And the most important thing is that of those two people, one is his friend and the other is Milim's... Well, what is their relationship?
Rimuru, who suddenly discovered a strange problem, jumped out of Gafan's arms, and then landed firmly on the back of a huge wolf-shaped monster that suddenly jumped out of the shadow.
"Gafan, I roughly know who the person you are looking for is, but you have to tell me first, why are you looking for them?"
Rimuru looked at Gafan seriously.
"This." Gafan thought for a moment, scratched his cheek, and gave an uncertain answer that sounded very strange to others.
"Send them home."
Um, what is this, a new threatening word that will send you on your way?
Fitz, who was frowning and looking at the monsters around him, was speechless and distanced himself from Gafan after hearing this.
But Rimuru unexpectedly understood.
"That's it..."
After Rimuru was silent for a while, his voice became a little sad, as if he was about to part with a friend.
"Well, anyway, come to my town first. We just have a party today. It will be very lively."
Limu, who was in his slime state, stood on the back of Lanya who was sticking out his tongue. After jumping up and down a few times, his voice became full of energy again.
"Although Ligurud and the others seem to hold a banquet almost every few days, as long as everyone is happy, Gafan, I hope you can like it there too, everyone is very nice."
He looked at Rimuru, who was stretching out a small tentacle and waving it cutely towards him, and Lanya, who was grinding his teeth at him for some reason.
The corners of Gafan's mouth curled up slightly unconsciously, revealing a kind smile.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it."
But Rimuru, why don’t you complain about why I don’t wear shoes?
With a smile on his face, Gafan, who was still floating away, had this pretentious thought in his heart.
Well, forget it, I hope there will be something delicious at the banquet, after all, he hasn't had lunch yet today.
That's all he had.
With this thought in his mind, Gafan's face showed full of expectation.
He felt like something good was going to happen to him next.
At this moment, the system is also jumping around happily in its mind.
"Haha, the speed of finding someone this time is so fast. It seems that I can go back soon, easily, easily. Hey, host, do we want to bring some souvenirs back?"
"I definitely have to bring it with me. It's a rare trip, and surprisingly, I didn't encounter any big danger."
"Uh, no, I don't seem to need any souvenirs."
"It's okay. System, wouldn't it be good for you to drink some northwest wind?"
"Then the host needs to blow some wind into your head first."
"...Hey, let's skip this topic."
Gafan and the system quarreled in a relaxed tone.
They all felt that they were definitely stable this time.
After all, they are almost found, and they are still in a safe town. There is no reason why something bad will happen again?
So it must be stable.
...
Half an hour later.
A micro-earthquake occurred in Monster Town.
Chapter 52: On the importance of a physical constitution that can withstand beatings (Part 2)
Ten minutes ago.
Gafan, who had already entered the monster town, looked at the street in front of him as if it had been plowed back and forth several times by a bulldozer, and fell into deep thought.
What is this?
Is this the case in the original novel?
"Rimuru, were you attacked by some dangerous monster just now?"
Standing at the crossroads, Gafan pointed at the ravine-like street in front of him, turned to Rimuru and asked doubtfully.
"Almost, ahem, no, I mean don't worry about it, it's just a little accident." Rimuru, who had turned into human form again, looked away guiltily and explained with a reluctant smile.
At this time, Ailian and others had been sent to the reception room to rest and eat desserts by the special reception staff. It would be better if they had just entered the town and the Kabal three-person adventure team had already eaten them non-stop, and they were so excited to follow them. The hamster-like mouth is filled with various snacks.
That shameful look aroused President Fitz's disgust, even though he had a stick of barbecue stuffed in his mouth and was chewing it.
What surprised Gafan was that the man named Youmu, the leader of the investigation team, came to pat him on the shoulder and say thank you before leaving.
The trouble was obviously caused by them... Well, no, it should be said that it was caused by Kabal, although they were the ones who led it there together.
"Rimuru, do you have anything else to do now?"
After drifting past the "gully", Gafan thanked a stall owner on the roadside who suddenly gave him a few skewers of barbecued meat. Then he thought about it and asked again with a bit of confusion while chewing the barbecued meat in his mouth.
"I have some things to do, but it's not too urgent."
Because of the strange look in someone's eyes before, Rimuru, who didn't want to return to slime state for the time being, replied with a bunch of snacks given by others on the street in his arms and a meat skewer in his mouth.
By the way, that guy named Fubio shouldn't be awake yet, right?
Although he had been treated with [Complete Recovery Medicine], Milim's attack was so ruthless that he would still be in a coma for a while.
A subordinate of Demon King Carlion? Oh, it feels so troublesome.
Rimuru thought a little troubled, with a headache expression on his little face, but he quickly calmed down. After all, it would be too shameful to be dejected in front of guests.
"Anyway, let me take you to meet the person you may be looking for first. They should be staying in the same place right now." Rimuru smiled cutely, thinking about whether Momonga was awake now.
After all, Milim's impulsive punch that knocked him away was much harder than when she punched Phoebio.
At this time, Gafan lowered his head and looked at him silently. Looking at the appearance of the blue-haired child, Rimuru had just walked for a while, and there were a lot of things in his arms, even covering up the scarf around his neck. , and half of the white and tender face.
The kind and loving eyes of the surrounding residents towards Rimuru were also clearly seen by Gafan.
"...Rimuru, you are really a very good person." Gafan murmured softly.
"Huh? Gafan, what did you just say?" Rimuru, who was thinking about whether Momonga's cracked skull face could be restored, said that he didn't hear it clearly for the moment.
"It's nothing." Gafan shook his head and pointed to the snacks that were piling up in the other person's arms. "Speaking of which, you don't have anything to spare. Can I help feed you?"
"Huh? I don't really mind that."
Rimuru, who was a little surprised, tilted his little head and looked a little confused.
By the way, isn't Gafan's kindness to him a little too much? It was obvious that they had only known each other not long ago.
Forget it, it's not a bad thing if others want to be nice to him, and he doesn't object to others taking care of him now. It would be better to say that he enjoys it.
"Well, ok, thank you then, Gafan."
"It's okay. I'm quite happy to take care of children, except for naughty children of course."
"Well, I'm not a child. Don't look at me like this, but I'm better than you... Wow, um, this barbecue is quite delicious."
"Don't talk when you're eating, or you might choke."
"Don't underestimate people, I won't choke."
Rimuru frowned and retorted unceremoniously, but the next moment he was fed another bite of roast meat, he couldn't help showing a delicious and cute expression.
"..."
With an expressionless expression, Gafan silently sped up his feeding movements.
The system in his mind once again expressed disdain for this scene.
"Seriously, host, your XP is really weird... Wait, did you have a particularly good attitude towards little girls before? You also said that you are not a Lolita control."
"You are Luo Li, you have a weak system, and Rimuru is not a little girl." Gafan replied speechlessly in his heart.
"His real age is enough to be my brother, I still know this."
"You still know that he is an uncle? Then if you are still like this, the XP of hosting a carbon-based creature like you is too weird!"
"Because human beings pay much attention to other people's appearance when it comes to their understanding of others, and you don't know that my current perspective is a little different from ordinary people's, well, how should I put it..."
Having said this, Gafan showed a very troubled expression, and he didn't know how to explain it.
"Forget it, system, you just need to know that I have a good impression of 'Tuanzi' now, but this is just pure love, and it's time to clean up your database. Can our thoughts not be so dirty?"
"......oh."
This time, the system just responded weakly and then fell silent. This actually surprised Gafan. After all, according to custom, the other party should reply to him at this time, "Weak carbon-based creatures." ".
But what Gafan also doesn't know is that in the place where he can't look, in the void...
A "dumpling" that is all white and flawless.
My whole body trembled as I was feeling a little chilly.
"Hey...the XP of carbon-based creatures is really weird."
Then, there was complete silence.
On the streets of the monster town, under the kind eyes of the residents, Gafan and Rimuru arrived at their destination in a short time.
At this time, Gafan nodded with satisfaction after looking at the conference hall-like building in front of him and the two red dots on the virtual panel that were almost within easy reach.
It seems that we have found the right place.
At this moment, Gafan suddenly seemed to have thought of something again, and asked Rimuru who had finished all the snacks and licked his lower lip with his tongue.
"By the way, Rimuru, I almost forgot to ask, do you know the names of those two people?"
"Hey, Gafan, don't you know?" This made Rimuru look at him in surprise.
"You might recognize him after you meet him, but before that I really don't know."
"Wow, Gafan, you are really a strange guy." Rimuru climbed up the white steps and walked into the building first, waving his hands carelessly, "Forget it, let me tell you directly, they are Momonga Xiaolin... well, Gafan, why did you stop?"
"...Rimuru, let me confirm first. Momonga, does he refer to a skeleton spellcaster named Ainz Ooal Gown?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Rimuru nodded, and at the same time confirmed again that the other party did know Momonga and the others.
The confused Gafan said: "..."
Damn, you are cheating me. Why is Mao the King of Bones?
Having read the original work, he knew how inhuman the other party was. Now he was afraid that after meeting the other party, he would be treated as a strange experimental material.
Because the people he had implicated in time traveling together in the past few times were all good people, Gafan subconsciously ignored his cheating passive time traveling physique, and he might even have brought the villain along with him.
This is so fucking... Uh, wait, did Rimuru just call the Bone King Momonga?
After Gafan was in a daze for a while, he suddenly looked at Rimuru who had a strange look on his face and asked tentatively.
"Um, Rimuru, I want to ask, based on your impression, what kind of person do you think... Momonga is?"
"That guy, how should I put it?" Rimuru thought for a while and replied, "A person who is easily lonely and longs for friends. Even though Momonga has a scary skeleton look, he treats me very well. The residents of the town are very nice, and the children also like him very much. If they meet him on the street, they will climb on him. By the way, he also likes to soak in hot springs. "
I just don’t know why he still likes to use his slime body to bathe.
Although he doesn't really care.
Rimuru thought a little speechlessly in his heart.
At this time, Gafan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it sounds like the Bone King has not completely lost his humanity, so that shouldn't be a big problem, but from Rimuru's tone, they seem to have become very good friends.
In this case...well, that's pretty good.
Gafan, who was completely relieved, finally followed Rimuru and walked inside, passed through the corridor, and finally came to a very spacious room and opened the door...
Then Gafan and Rimuru were both stunned at the same time.
However, Gafan was stunned because he saw Ainz Ooal Gown lying face down on the carpet like a corpse.
