In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

"Hehe, I got too carried away with the fight earlier, now I know your name is Gransta."

Then Milim opened her eyes and looked at Gransta with a serious expression.

"I'll reluctantly acknowledge your strength. To be able to fight me to that extent, you're among the top demon kings."

Gransta looked at Milim with a strange expression.

"Um...so are you complimenting me, or is there something you want to tell me?"

Milim immediately moved closer to Gransta.

"Actually, I just wanted to ask you, have you ever thought about becoming the Demon King?"

Gransta looked at Milim's serious expression, then shook his head at her.

To put it very bluntly:

"I haven't thought about it."

Milim stared at Gransta in disbelief.

"With your strength, you never even considered becoming the Demon King."

"Um."

This is not surprising. In this world, the Demon King is synonymous with power and fear. The title of Demon King is proof of power and authority.

Milim stared wide-eyed at Gransta, and she could see a hint of indifference in Gransta's eyes.

"Hmm, how could any powerful demon not want to be the Demon King!"

The world operates on the rule of the survival of the fittest, and the Demon King stands at the pinnacle of power, inspiring fear in all races who dare not offend him.

Milim turned her head to look at Rimuru again.

"Rimuru, your magical power has long exceeded the limit of A-rank, hasn't it? Why don't you become the Demon Lord?"

Rimuru listened to Milim's words and began to think about them seriously, even touching his chin with his hand.

Milim's eyes immediately lit up; this seemed promising.

"What are the advantages of being a demon king?"

Milim blurted it out, a smug look on her face.

"Being a demon king grants you unparalleled authority, allows you to face challenges from many powerful figures, and most importantly, it exudes an extraordinary aura of power."

Rimuru immediately and decisively shook his head at Milim.

"What's so fun about this?"

Milim froze on the spot, Rimuru's words echoing in her mind.

What's so fun about this?

What's fun about it?

Gransta had indeed thought about the Demon King before. There were a few Demon Kings in this world whose strength truly reflected the intensity of the dimension, but if it was just for show, he wasn't really interested.

Rimuru's personality doesn't actually make him interested in being a Demon King. However, in order to revive Shion, the goblins, and others, Rimuru chose to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of people to awaken his powers and declare himself the Demon King to the world.

Reaching a certain level of strength does not automatically make one a Demon King. The distinction between Demon King species and ordinary Demon King is merely a standard for classifying strength.

With Granstas around, Shion's death is absolutely impossible, but he fears the world's corrective forces might cause things to veer in other directions...

This made Gulansta frown deeply.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Rimuru might still become one of the Eight-Star Demon Lords, just like in the story. As for me..."

After calming down for a while, Milim hugged Rimuru tightly. Rimuru was in his slime form, so she gently rubbed him.

"Hey, Milim, what are you doing!"

Rimuru winced in pain.

"Ah~, Rimuru, you must have something more fun than being the Demon Lord. We're friends, how come you didn't tell me?"

Milim looked displeased.

"No...no, let me go...I feel like my body is going to explode."

Rimuru's body was very flexible and had a very soft feel to it, so Milim was reluctant to let go for a moment.

"Hehe, I've decided I'll stay here for a while."

"What?!"

Rimuru was startled.

"Didn't we agree to leave after finishing the ice cream cone? How can you go back on your word?"

Milim gave a sly smile.

"It's all because the ice cream cone was so delicious that I didn't want to leave. Are you trying to find fault with me?"

Hearing that Rimuru seemed reluctant to let him stay, he immediately gave him a pitiful look.

"Sigh, you can stay if you want, but we have to agree on three rules."

"Don't worry, we're friends!"

...

Rimuru led Milim to the ice platform because Milim had chosen to stay there, but she was in too much danger, so it was necessary for the residents of the Monster Holy City to get to know her.

"This is Milim Nava, who will be staying in our city from now on."

Rimuru's voice had barely faded when...

The goblins in the audience were quiet for a while, then they became lively.

"Holy crap, isn't that...that tyrannical demon king's name?"

"I never thought I'd actually see her face today."

"Lord Rimuru actually knows the legendary Demon Lord. It seems they have a pretty good relationship."

Ligurd was the first to shout excitedly.

"Long live Lord Rimuru!"

Gobuta jumped up excitedly and waved towards the stage.

"Rimuru-sama, yyds"

Rimuru hadn't expected Milim's reputation to be so great that he didn't need to introduce her at all.

Milim looked happily at the goblins below the stage and excitedly hugged Rimuru.

"That's right, Rimuru and I are best friends, the best kind... we call them... best buddies."

"So if you ever have any problems in the future, just use my name."

Milim clenched her fist confidently.

The goblins below the stage cheered even more enthusiastically.

Gransta, who had been watching from below the stage, suddenly realized that Rimuru and Milim actually looked quite compatible, in terms of height, appearance, and even personality...

"Ugh, how could I think like that? They're a little girl and a little boy..."

Gulansta quickly shook his head.

Zhu Lai and Long Xueqing behind them looked at their adults with curiosity.

Rimuru then took Milim on a tour of this monster capital.

Wow, there are so many flavors of ice cream cones here!

Milim walked up to an ice cream shop, her eyes sparkling, and she couldn't move her feet.

"Hey, Milim, didn't you just finish eating?"

"No, I want to try other flavors too, the green one and the pink one..."

As Milim reached out to take it, Rimuru quickly stopped her.

"Milim, you have to pay for food here? You can't just take it for free."

The goblin clerk in charge of the ice cream shop noticed that Rimuru and Milim's conversation had become awkward.

"Actually... if it's two adults, they can eat it for free."

As expected, upon hearing the clerk's words, Milim immediately grabbed all the flavors without hesitation and happily licked them.

"So, Rimuru is something he said he could eat for free."

Rimuru sighed, "These goblins wouldn't dare make you pay if they saw you."

I spent most of the day playing with Milim in the Monster Holy City. She was curious about everything there, just like a simple little girl.

This is really tough on Rimuru.
