Chapter 47
"They're just trash fish. It's really hard work."
The soul flame in Momonga's skull eyes began to burn a little more vigorously.
"Don't think that just because Milim-sama likes you, you can slap her on the nose."
Gafan, who was smiling at first, suddenly felt that it was okay for him to use his Yanling to be a bit weird occasionally.
However, when he saw the figure that appeared behind Ferbio at some point, he was stunned for a moment, and a rare evil smile appeared on his face.
"F, Lord Fupio, stop talking."
A man with a monkey face standing next to Phoebio warned in a weak tone.
"What's wrong? There's nothing to say..."
Ferbio turned his head with an unhappy look on his face, and just when he was about to scold his incompetent subordinates, his whole body suddenly froze completely.
Because Milim, who didn't know when he appeared behind him, was staring at him silently with red eyes in his eyes.
Fabio, whose expression was dull: "..."
Milim reached out and patted the other party's shoulder gently.
"I said you, how dare you look down on my friend."
"Alas!!!"
Phoebio, whose shoulder blade seemed to be a little cracked, was so frightened that he screamed subconsciously, but at least he still sat firmly on the armchair without making too much of a fool of himself.
"Milim, wait, if you dare to do anything again, not only lunch, but also dinner will be deprived of you."
Seeing this scene that looked like a little girl threatening the underworld, Rimuru felt a little headache and directly stopped her.
He is currently negotiating with people from other forces. This is a matter from the national standpoint and cannot be messed up like this.
However, to his surprise, Milim, who might usually make a fuss out of grievance, was very obedient this time.
"Oh, got it."
With her pink hair hanging down, Milim walked to the sofa nearby under Rimuru's stunned gaze, fell down, and lay there like a useless dragon. Her whole body exuded a low aura. .
"???"
what's the situation?
Rimuru, who was stunned by the unexpected reaction, also quickly asked Momonga through the "Missing Network".
"Moonga, when you told Milim that I wanted to punish her by not having lunch, what was her reaction? Did she punch you in the face again?"
Wow, you are so embarrassed to ask.
Momonga, who was staring at Phoebio with his dark eyes, heard this and glanced at his lost friend Rimuru speechlessly, but he still answered.
"She accepted the punishment and didn't lose her temper. To be honest, I was quite surprised."
"Eh? That's a bit strange. She is still very easy to get into trouble when it comes to food... By the way, where is Xiaolin?"
"It seemed that in the middle of being dragged around by Milim, I suddenly felt pain in my back. I was afraid of scaring him again, so I put on a mask and helped him to the guest room to rest. Milim's mood has been very low since then. "
"...Um, that's it."
Is this a good thing? After all, Milim has become a lot more honest for the time being.
Rimuru thought speechlessly and tangledly, but now is not the time to think about such things. He still has business to do now.
After adjusting his tone, Rimuru said in a more serious voice.
"Okay, I am indeed a slime, but I still rule 30% of this forest. If you have that intention, there is nothing you can do even if you start a war, so think about it before you speak."
After hearing this, he glanced at Milim who was lying on the sofa with a somewhat psychological shadow. After hesitating for a moment, he also made an unhappy sound and revealed the true purpose of his trip. .
"Hey, Lord Carion ordered us to recruit mysterious demons as our subordinates."
oh? That's it, no wonder he suddenly came to the door.
"That means us."
Rimuru thought for a while, and it seemed that the battle between himself and the ghosts and the Pig-Headed Emperor not long ago must have been known to the demon kings for some reason.
But fortunately, I specifically asked Momonga not to intervene and help at that time. In addition, he always behaves very low-key, so his existence should not be known to the demon kings.
Oh, what a headache.
The slime's jelly-like translucent body shook with some distress, and finally replied simply.
"Okay, I understand the situation. You can go back."
"Huh?" Phoebio was stunned for a moment.
"Rimuru-sama?" Benimaru next to him glanced at Rimuru in surprise. He was ready to chop the opponent with a knife after the conversation was over.
"Is this okay?" Ziyuan on the other side also asked.
"After all, we can't kill him, right?" Rimuru replied helplessly, then looked at Furbio, intending to end the conversation just like that, and his tone was a little tougher.
"Send a message to Demon King Kalion for me. If you want to negotiate with us, please make a new appointment."
These words were like seeing off a guest, causing Phoebio to look at the other party, the two unknown "Demon Kings" on both sides who were still staring at him, and the Demon King Milim who was lying on the sofa.
"..."
There is no room for rebuttal.
After a moment of silence, Ferbio stood up angrily and was ready to take his subordinates back to the Orc Kingdom to report the situation.
But when he opened the door to the conference hall and left, Ferbio couldn't help but glance at Milim and cursed.
"You will definitely regret it."
"Bang!"
Looking at the door that was slammed shut, Rimuru sighed helplessly. It was so troublesome.
It seems that this guy doesn't know how to convey the message properly.
But Demon King Kalion? I have heard of the name, but I don’t know the specific situation. Milim must know it, but the other party is in such a low mood now, it’s hard for him to ask... Well, at least we have to wait until after dinner. ask.
Milim is pretty easy to coax, but if that doesn't work, I'll ask Xiao Lin for help.
Rimuru thought evilly.
Then, after bouncing on the seat twice, he returned to his cute and beautiful human form and stretched greatly.
"Well - it's finally over, I'm exhausted."
Rimuru, who had no trouble for the moment and relaxed, looked at Gafan with a smile.
"Gafan, it's almost time for lunch. Didn't you say you wanted to have a meal with me before? Come together."
"Eh? Is dinner ready?"
Hearing this, Gafan also stood up with a cheerful look on his face, put away his somewhat tiring breath simulation, and imitated Rimuru's behavior just now, stretching as well. He didn't notice that at this moment, Momonga and Benimaru were already silently preparing to leave secretly.
He thought for a while and asked with a smile.
"By the way, Rimuru, what should we have for lunch today?"
"It seems to be omelette rice."
Rimuru tilted his head and said with a cute and uncertain smile. For some reason, his expression looked a bit like a bad smile.
"I see, the omelette rice sounds pretty good, I haven't had it for a while."
Gafan, who seemed a little regretful that he didn't have a big meal, put down the hand he raised while stretching, and at the same time looked at Momonga and Benimaru strangely, and silently left from the door without saying a word for some unknown reason.
What happened to these two people?
"Then let's have dinner together. Oh, by the way, Rimuru, who made lunch?"
Gafan asked casually, and then he felt what deep regret was.
"I did it!"
A hand was raised, causing Gafan to turn his head and look subconsciously, and then...
He saw Ziyuan who looked excited and eager to try.
Gafan, whose expression was dull: "..."
Damn, you are cheating.
Then, without any words, Gafan followed Momonga and Benimaru's previous expressions and turned around silently, preparing to leave this place of right and wrong through the gate.
"Snapped!"
As a result, someone grabbed my hand directly.
It was a small white hand, very soft and delicate, with a bit of comfortable coldness.
No matter if it is any man, if he is held by such a small hand, he will definitely not refuse or hate it.
But at this moment, Gafan was trying desperately to take out his hand with a little cold sweat on his forehead...
Depend on! You're holding it too tight!
Looking at Gafan who showed his face to him for the first time, don't touch me, let go now, Rimuru, who was very amused, also smiled cutely.
"Gafan, why are you leaving? I haven't had lunch yet. Do you need me to feed you then? Hehe~"
Chapter 59: Recalling the fear of being dominated by cooking
Once upon a time, Gafan felt that the dinner cooked by Hubi was the most unpalatable dish in the world.
After all, when making soup, you also added some engine oil and gear parts to it. No matter how you look at it, it is not something that carbon-based organisms can eat, right?
But now it seems that he was naive.
Gafan once again experienced what it means to live and learn, and to learn a lot.
Sitting at the dining table, Gafan looked down at the bowl in front of him with an expressionless face, that, that...
Um, how to describe this?
Gafan, who was at a loss for words, looked at the illusion product in the bowl that looked like the ghostly face of an innocent ghost, and fell into deep thought.
He thought for a while, and finally decided to try touching this indescribable thing with the spoon in his hand.
"Zi——"
The spoon made a slight sound of being eroded.
"..."
Damn, this is really a scam.
To be honest, Gafan was shocked by this surreal scene.
He turned to look at Shion, who was standing nearby wearing an apron, holding a kitchen knife that seemed to have a few gaps missing, and a spoon that had turned into a colander for some reason.
His eyes were full of disbelief.
He just wants to have lunch, you, you can't treat him like this.
You, how the hell did you make such a thing?
Ga Fan still can't understand why the bowl in front of him still exists. Is it some kind of corrosion-resistant high-performance material?
"Dang, when-"
"Rimuru-sama, don't hit the bowl with your spoon when eating. This is impolite behavior."
Ziyuan crossed her arms, squeezing the burden on her chest, and said an unexpectedly serious reason with a little dissatisfaction on her face.
"I know, Shion... By the way, isn't it lunch with omelette rice today?"
Rimuru's cute little face looked a little confused at this time.
"Where are the eggs and rice?"
"Oh, Rimuru-sama really loves to joke. Didn't you add the eggs and rice well?"
Shion smiled sheepishly and said, "I don't know why the plates kept breaking when I was putting them on plates, so in the end I had to use the bowls Kurobei helped make to serve them. The bowls he made were strong and the next Please ask him to make some dishes later.”
Isn't Kurobei a craftsman who forges weapons?
Rimuru's dull little face looked even more confused.
