Chapter 59
"Hahahaha, Rimuruyo, as my best friend, you can't be scared by such a trivial matter."
Milim raised the slime in her arms with both hands, her cute little face as full of energy as ever.
"Learn more from me. As the strongest demon king, I will never be scared by such things..."
"Yo, what are you doing here..."
"Ahhhhhhh!"
An unexpected voice suddenly sounded from behind at close range. Milim, who was so frightened that he didn't notice the other party in advance, directly raised Rimuru, who was holding high, and subconsciously slammed it in the direction of the sound.
"Bang!!!"
"......Woolen cloth."
At this time, Gafan, who had just teleported over and saw Rimuru and Milim, finished his greetings.
However, this is no longer important.
Gafan raised his waving hand and froze. His vision seemed to go dark for a moment, and he found that the front of his body seemed to be completely soaked, as if his face was covered by a huge balloon filled with water.
In response, Gafan looked down at the blue substance evenly covering his body with an expressionless expression.
Then he looked back at the large pool of "liquid" that was the same as his own on the wall of the alley behind him, leaving a human-shaped outline in the middle.
"...Rimuru?"
"Hey, Gafan, how about lunch." Rimuru said a little weakly.
At this time, Milim also realized what she had done.
"Whoa, Rimuru, I'm sorry, uh, no, it's Gafan who's sorry, uh, it's not right either, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,"
Seeing the hair on the top of his head standing on end and the panic on Milim's face, Gafan helplessly wiped his wet face with a hand, feeling tired.
"It's okay, Milim, I'm not angry. Rather than this, let's help Rimuru 'knead' her back."
"Um, okay, I'm sorry."
Milim nodded obediently, which also made Gafan glance at her in surprise.
After all, when this kid first met, he left the impression that he didn't know how to control his emotions.
Now, has the other party changed a little?
Is it because of Xiaolin's influence?
"...It's okay, I've accepted your apology."
"Hehe, that's good."
Milim's depressed mood disappeared quickly, and her voice became full of energy again in the blink of an eye.
"By the way, Gafan, how did you do that just now?"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"It's just that you suddenly appeared behind me just now, and I didn't notice it at all. This is so strange. After all, I am very, very strong."
"This." Gafan recalled Tetu's somewhat out-of-place guy, and then replied a little uncertainly.
"Maybe it's because I copied a trick from a certain god."
"Eh?"
Milim raised her head with a blank expression, as if she didn't understand.
At this time, Rimuru reminded in a weak voice.
"Well, can you help me put my body back together first? I'm a little exhausted right now."
"Uh, sorry, sorry, I almost forgot."
after a little while.
"Huh - Milim, don't throw me out suddenly next time, otherwise I will confiscate your afternoon snack."
"I know, best friend!"
Milim smiled happily, not sure whether she heard it or not.
At this time, Gafan looked away with guilt for some reason.
This made Rimuru look at the other party a little doubtfully. After all, according to past experience, the other party would have hugged him into his arms without any courtesy at this time.
Although he didn't mind the other party's behavior at all, but now he suddenly stopped hugging him a little uncharacteristically, uh, how should I put it...
Rimuru, on the other hand, didn't know why he felt entangled about this.
After bouncing on the spot a little depressed, Rimuru was about to say something when he suddenly froze again.
"...Um, am I a little smaller?"
Rimuru looked at Gafan suspiciously.
As a result, this time, Gafan and Milim both looked away with guilty conscience.
Rimuru: "..."
Hey, you guys, he's going to be angry.
"Well, Rimuru, it must be your imagination, you are actually this big."
Milim lifted Rimuru from the ground into her arms, carelessly touching her with her little hands and coaxing her.
"Well, it's true. I feel like my slime body is missing ten percent..."
"Oh, by the way, Rimuru, you haven't answered me yet. Do you want to go eat delicious food with me?" Milim hugged the other party a little tighter, and even rubbed the other party's jelly with her little face affectionately. like body.
"I went looking for a lot of 'ingredients' this morning. I want to replenish Xiaolin's health. I also asked Zhu Lai to help cook it. It should be all ready now. It will definitely be delicious."
Milim didn't give the hesitant Rimuru a chance to speak, and said happily: "Rimuru, you said that everyone should eat together to make the meal more delicious. Why don't you come too? And before Gafan, I also agreed."
"Well, it's okay...but Milim, has your relationship with Gafan gotten better?"
"Really? I guess so. After all, I found that he is also a very good person."
Milim was still rubbing her face against Rimuru, simply expressing her thoughts, while Rimuru in her arms looked at Gafan who looked away.
This guy obviously looks quite serious...but he seems to be surprisingly popular with children.
"Then it's settled, you guys follow me and cross this street to Xiao Lin's place!"
As soon as she left, Milim turned around and started jumping around. Gafan thought about it, shrugged, and followed him indifferently.
However, not long after walking, Rimuru suddenly spoke.
"That, Gafan."
"What's wrong?" Gafan looked at the other party in confusion and a little guilty.
After all, when he was just helping the other party rub the slime back, memories of Rimuru-sama's series of delicacies suddenly popped into his mind for some reason, and he couldn't hold it back for a while.
I secretly licked the little "liquid" left at the corner of my mouth when my face was smeared, and then...
I was very confused again, with a complicated expression on my face, so I secretly tasted some again.
But he swore that he never ate as much as Milim!
"Well, what should I say?" Rimuru, who didn't know what the other party was thinking, finally couldn't help asking after struggling for a while.
"Why don't you just grab me from Milim's hands and hold me in your arms? Just like you did when you faced Momonga before. It's not like you to be so honest and motionless now."
Oops, I still said it.
After all, I'm very confused, um, no, I'm just curious, hehe.
Rimuru thought a little embarrassed.
However, what he didn't expect was that this time Gafan looked at him with a surprised expression after being stunned for a moment.
"Um, Rimuru... No matter what I say, I can't snatch things from a child, right? I'm still a mature adult."
That complicated look seems to be asking you why you ask such a strange question?
"...Aha, haha, ha, that's right. I said some strange things. I'm sorry."
After hearing this answer, Rimuru was silent for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and waved his cute little tentacles.
In response, Gafan nodded generously, his heart full of tolerance for his friends.
"It's okay, I don't care at all."
"Yes, yes, haha, ha, ha..."
The laughter gradually died down.
Seeing Gavan's dazed face looking at the white clouds in the sky for some reason, Rimuru in Milim's arms stared at him silently, what should I say?
do not know why.
I feel a little angry for no reason.
...
at the same time.
The outskirts of the Jura Forest.
In a dense forest far away from the monster town, a somewhat bloated figure wearing a strange mask was quietly looking at the corpse of the flying dragon in front of him.
The smelly blood stained the soil here and soaked it. One of the flying dragons, which was seriously injured and on the verge of death, was not completely dead. It struggled to slowly lift its dragon head from the ground. A pair of vertical pupils full of hatred stared at it intently. Looking at the figure in front of him.
The ethnic group it belonged to had been completely massacred by the other party and another person.
Obviously they are lower-level dragons. Individually, they have a strength similar to that of the Spear-footed Kai Spider. When in groups, they are not afraid of anything in this forest.
I didn't expect that I would be slaughtered so easily by this guy I had never seen before.
next moment.
Blood filled its sight, and then its consciousness fell directly into eternal darkness.
"The corpses of these low-level dragons should be enough to awaken the blood sacrifice of the Great Storm Demon Vortex, right?"
A member of the Moderate Clown Company, Angry Clown Fordman, withdrew his hand from the opponent's head, not paying attention to the blood on his hand, but spoke to himself in a strange tone, with a slight cadence.
"Fortman, Fordman~"
At this time, a girl with twin tails wearing a strange mask and pink clothes suddenly jumped out of nowhere, waving her hands and shouting something as if she was making a fuss.
"Tia?"
When Fordman saw his partner, he asked in a gentle voice: "What's wrong?"
"Fortman, our plans have changed~"
Tia jumped up to the other party, then raised her head and tilted her head and smiled: "Compared to the corpse of the lower dragon, I found a better target~"
"Oh haha, let's hear it. Tia must have discovered something very interesting, so she took the initiative to tell me to change her original plan."
"Now, now, Fordman, listen to me, I found one..."
Tia jumped up from where she was happily, and then smiled evilly as if she was announcing the wonderful performance that was about to be performed and the funny clown who was about to appear.
"Very stupid and stupid——Black Panther~"
Chapter 72: The Coming Disaster Part 2
Monster Town.
Somewhere in an open yard.
Gafan looked at the limbs and feet in the bowl in front of him which resembled crab legs but were much more ferocious in appearance, and fell into deep thought.
He was debating whether to speak or not.
In the end, as a flower-growing family, the curiosity for new types of food engraved in our DNA prevailed.
"Automatically shucking, oohoo."
He took a bite of the indescribable meat exposed inside, and the delicious feedback on his taste buds made Gafan raise his eyebrows.
"It's quite delicious."
"Indeed, it looks like a crab, but it tastes more like a lobster, and the taste is much richer."
