Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

“It's finally over, we should head back.”

In the setting sun, Rimuru's adorable face wore a sweet smile as he looked at the many monsters gathered around him.

Although he was suddenly reincarnated into this world as a slime, he now had a brand new family and companions, and together they worked hard to build their own home and protect it.

Rimuru didn't dislike this feeling.

“Going back is fine, but does that Demon Lord agree?”

Hearing Rimuru's words, Lu Minghao chuckled and looked towards a large tree not far away.

There, a burly man with short golden hair walked out step by step.

His powerful presence caused even the air to vibrate continuously, like a king of beasts patrolling his own territory.

“Carrion, why aren't you hiding anymore?”

Beside him, Milim looked at the suddenly appearing Demon Lord Carrion without the slightest surprise.

As early as when Lu Minghao devoured the Storm Great Demon Vortex, Milim had already sensed Carrion's presence.

Even when she sensed Carrion's intention to save Phobio, Milim's aura became dangerous.

It was precisely because of Milim's dangerous aura that Carrion silently watched Phobio being devoured by Lu Minghao.

After all, he had already learned everything Phobio had done from the three Beast Kingdom soldiers.

It could be said that Phobio's death was entirely his own fault, and even Carrion, as Phobio's master, had no excuse to save him.

Of course, all of this was based on the powerful strength of Lu Minghao, Milim, and Rimuru, who had killed the Orc Lord, as well as the ogre girl Shuna, who used mountains as weapons on the battlefield.

Carrion didn't think he could take on four opponents alone.

He was a Demon Lord, but that didn't mean he was reckless.

“Hmph!”

Carrion, who walked step by step in front of Lu Minghao and the others, snorted coldly after hearing Milim's words.

His eyes were fixed on Lu Minghao, who was smiling at him, but he had no way to attack Lu Minghao to avenge Phobio.

Because all of this was Phobio's own fault, and plus, Milim, Lu Minghao, and Rimuru, who killed the Orc Disaster Geld, and the ogre girl Shuna, who used mountains as weapons on the battlefield, were on the opposite side.

Carrion didn't think he could take on four opponents alone.

He was a Demon Lord, but that didn't mean he was brainless.

“What, does this Demon Lord Carrion plan to avenge his subordinate?”

Looking at Carrion, who was staring at him, Lu Minghao asked with a nonchalant expression.

Honestly speaking, Lu Minghao didn't really care about the Demon Lord Carrion.

After all, he was just a Demon Lord-level existence, even if the Demon Lord Carrion had reached the point where he could awaken with just his soul.

But so what?

Not to mention Lu Minghao personally taking action, even Shuna was enough to kill Carrion, at most at the cost of serious injuries.

“Hoo~ Rimuru, is it? I'm sorry, this time my subordinate went berserk.

Because of my poor supervision, I brought you trouble.

As for his death, it was just because of his own fault.”

After taking a deep look at Lu Minghao in front of him, Carrion took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Rimuru.

Then, in the surprised eyes of Rimuru and Benimaru, Carrion actually apologized to them with a serious face.

“Oh... oh!”

Rimuru, who was originally prepared to fight when Carrion appeared, didn't react for a moment after hearing Carrion's apology.

He was stunned for a few seconds before nodding blankly.

“In addition, because this subordinate's rampage has caused you trouble, although he has paid the price of death for it, I will agree to one condition as compensation.”

“In that case, if you are willing to sign a non-aggression pact with my country, I would be very happy.”

When he heard Carrion say that he could offer a condition, Rimuru, although he didn't understand what Carrion was thinking, it was best to avoid hostility.

For this reason, Rimuru directly proposed to Carrion the condition of signing a treaty of non-aggression between the two parties.

“Is that so, then I swear in the name of Demon Lord... no, in the name of Beast Kingdom Eurazania [Lion King] Carrion, that I will not be an enemy to you in the future.”

Hearing the condition proposed by Rimuru, Carrion was also stunned for a moment, and then solemnly swore in the name of Lion King Carrion to establish a non-aggression treaty with Rimuru, and the reason why Carrion did this was very simple.

After all, he was the king of the Beast Kingdom Eurazania, and the remaining people were definitely more important than the dead Phobio.

On the opposite side, Lu Minghao's group had at least four Demon Lord-level powerhouses, and the future was definitely a top-level kingdom.

And Carrion, how could he refuse to befriend such a kingdom and sign a non-aggression treaty?

“Then, I'll take my leave first, see you next time, Rimuru.”

After seeing Rimuru on the opposite side nod and agree to establish a non-aggression treaty, a faint blue light lit up under Carrion's feet.

In the last second before leaving, Carrion took a deep look at Lu Minghao, and then disappeared in place.

“Minghao, should Shuna go kill him?”

In the next second after Carrion just left, Shuna quietly approached Lu Minghao and asked expressionlessly.

Just now, Shuna noticed that Carrion had been secretly observing Lu Minghao, and plus, Lu Minghao had devoured Carrion's subordinate before.

In other words, Lu Minghao and Carrion may already be enemies.

And for Shuna, the best enemy is the enemy who is devoured and turned into nutrients.

Hearing Shuna's words, Lu Minghao didn't answer, just smiled and touched her little head.

Anyway, Lu Minghao never cared about the Demon Lord Carrion from beginning to end, but if Shuna wanted to do it, then do it.

It's just right that during the time he leaves the Slime world, Shuna can find something to play with, and by the way, collect more disposable tools and spare food for herself.

“Shuna knows!”

Feeling the gentle touch on her head, Shuna narrowed her big eyes and gently rubbed Lu Minghao's palm like a cat.

After becoming Lu Minghao's subordinate, Shuna had already been considered to be in sync with Lu Minghao, even if Lu Minghao didn't say it, she already knew what Lu Minghao meant.

“Minghao, what were you and Shuna talking about just now?”

At this time, looking at Shuna who was happy, Rimuru curiously came over and asked.

Just now, Rimuru noticed that Shuna and Lu Minghao whispered something after Carrion left, but unfortunately he didn't hear what they said at all.

“It's nothing, Shuna just said that this time we successfully defeated the Storm Great Demon Vortex, and we should hold a banquet to celebrate when we go back.”

Faced with Rimuru's inquiry, Lu Minghao wouldn't say that Shuna wanted to kill Carrion, after all, Rimuru and Carrion had just reached a non-aggression agreement, although Lu Minghao didn't take this treaty seriously.

After all, the last time two countries reached a non-aggression treaty, the capital of the country that really believed it was walled by the other party.

Besides, Lu Minghao and Shuna didn't join Rimuru's Jura-Tempest Federation, what does the treaty that you Carrion and Rimuru reached have to do with my Gluttony Kingdom?

“A banquet, confirm that we'll have a banquet tonight!”

At this moment, Rimuru had no idea what Lu Minghao was thinking, his attention completely drawn to the banquet Lu Minghao mentioned. He was already enthusiastically arranging for Gobuta and the others to gather ingredients for tonight's feast.

......

An hour later, as night completely enveloped the Jura Forest, a huge bonfire was lit in the central city 'Rimuru'. All kinds of aromas permeated the air, and the cheers of numerous monsters echoed through the night sky.

As for the main course of the banquet, it was naturally the Sky Swim Giant Eel summoned by the Great Storm Lord Veldora. Although Lu Minghao and Milim had already eaten a portion while watching the show, the remainder was more than enough for tonight's feast.

At the same time, while many monsters were reveling, in the city's largest hot spring, the laughter of young girls echoed continuously in the light mist. Through the mist, one could vaguely see the girls' delicate, jade-like skin, and the alluring 'justice' that was partially exposed above the water, varying in size.

"Ahhh! As expected, hot springs are the best!"

A sky-blue slime was constantly swaying on the surface of the water, following the ripples. Rimuru felt as if his body was about to be completely soaked and melted by the hot spring.

"Indeed, hot springs are great!"

Beside him, an ice-blue slime nodded in agreement after hearing Rimuru's words. A pair of big eyes on his round body kept looking at Shuna, Shion, Sally, Milim, and the others beside him. This heavenly scene was simply amazing.

If it were those cynical netizens from his previous life, they would probably be shouting, 'One person, one bite, no extra sips allowed!'

"By the way, Minghao, Rimuru, do you two want to become Demon Lords?"

At this moment, Milim, who had been sitting on the edge of the hot spring, suddenly stood up. A pair of small but exquisitely shaped 'justice' appeared before Lu Minghao and Rimuru's eyes, directly scaring Rimuru's body into a strange shape.

"Cough cough, thank you for the treat... No, Milim, I don't want to become a Demon Lord, at least not for now."

Looking at the福利 Milim offered, Lu Minghao subconsciously said 'thank you for the treat', but halfway through, Lu Minghao quickly changed his words, and thankfully he was reincarnated as a slime, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see this beautiful scene so easily.

"Demon Lord? How could I become a Demon Lord? And is there any benefit to it?"

As he spoke, Rimuru's body began to stretch, blocking Milim's body. After confirming that he couldn't see anything he shouldn't, Rimuru breathed a sigh of relief and said indifferently. He really didn't care about the title of Demon Lord.

"Benefits?"

"Milim, why do you want to be a Demon Lord?"

"Why? It seems like something unpleasant happened, and then I was very troubled. In short, it was a long time ago, I forgot."

Hearing Rimuru's words, Milim tilted her head and thought. She couldn't remember the reason why she became a Demon Lord, but she vaguely felt that it was something that made her very angry and troubled.

"Since you don't remember, Milim, it must be a bad memory, don't worry about it."

At this time, Lu Minghao, who was being held in Sally's arms as a bath towel, looked at Milim and Rimuru and smiled softly. Of course, Lu Minghao knew the reason why Milim became a Demon Lord. As for why Milim forgot, it was probably because that memory was too cruel for her, and Milim subconsciously forgot it.

"That's right, don't worry about it."

Hearing Lu Minghao's words, Milim nodded with a happy smile on her small face, and casually threw the Rimuru in her hand aside, directly pouncing towards Lu Minghao, taking Lu Minghao from Sally's arms.

"By the way, Minghao, Rimuru, I have to go back to work."

After playing with Lu Minghao in her arms for a while, the satisfied Milim raised Lu Minghao, then looked at Rimuru not far away and said with a smile.

"Work, so suddenly?"

Hearing Milim's words, Rimuru raised his head and looked at Milim curiously.

"It's not a permanent farewell, just a temporary goodbye."

As she spoke, Milim returned Lu Minghao to Sally, grabbed Ciel beside her, and jumped out of the hot spring. With a flash of light, Milim and Ciel returned to their usual appearances.

"I will make sure to tell the other Demon Lords not to attack here, don't worry!"

Looking at the people in the hot spring looking at her, Milim raised her hand and made a peace sign, then directly grabbed her exclusive chef Ciel and flew into the sky and disappeared.

"She's gone, I'm really worried that Milim will be deceived with her like this."

Looking at Milim disappearing into the sky, Rimuru blew a bubble and looked at Lu Minghao with a worried expression. After all, in Rimuru's opinion, although Milim was a Demon Lord, her personality was too simple and scatterbrained.

"Don't worry, Rimuru, Milim is not so easily deceived."

On top of Sally's head, Lu Minghao looked at Rimuru, who was full of worry, and smiled softly. Milim did have a simple, innocent, and scatterbrained appearance, and she was also a foodie, but in reality, she was extremely intelligent, literally.

"By the way, now that Milim has left, I should be leaving too."

"Eh? Minghao, are you leaving too?"

Rimuru, who had just heard that Lu Minghao was leaving, couldn't care about whether Milim would be deceived or not, and quickly looked at Lu Minghao and asked. Although Lu Minghao had said before that he would stay here temporarily, Rimuru didn't expect Lu Minghao to leave so soon.

"Yeah, after all, I still have things I need to do."

Speaking of this, Lu Minghao's ice-blue body exuded a strange aura. After all, during this time because of Rimuru, he had to pretend to be a kind slime, and Lu Minghao couldn't hold it in. He planned to have some fun in the next world.

"Well, then goodbye, best friend!"

Hearing Lu Minghao's words, Rimuru nodded reluctantly, after all, they were only temporarily separated, and they would see each other again.

"Don't worry, Rimuru, when I come back again, I will give you a big surprise."

Lu Minghao looked at Rimuru and smiled softly. If he had the chance, he would definitely get something similar to the Cursed Springs, and he would definitely give Rimuru a big surprise at that time. He believed that Rimuru would definitely be very happy at that time.

"Minghao....."

At this time, a pair of small hands hugged Lu Minghao. Sally's purple eyes were full of reluctance as she looked at Lu Minghao. Then, Sally deeply buried her face in Lu Minghao's body, and only released Lu Minghao reluctantly after several minutes.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Looking at Sally in front of him, Lu Minghao's body slowly wriggled and turned into a human form, stretched out his hand and gently hugged Sally in his arms, then touched Lolyana, who was about to cry, and his body disappeared little by little in the hot spring.
