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

"Rimuru, you bastard, you didn't actually fall off my back, did you?! No way, can someone really fall off a wolf?!"

When Gransta saw Rimuru's sullen expression, he teased him first, and Rimuru, who had a lot to say, immediately fell silent.

"No...no, that's not true. It was just too fast..."

Rimuru blushed slightly and stammered as he spoke.

"Haruna, now that Rimuru is back, let's hold the banquet we prepared before! Remember to invite everyone!"

Gransta said to the goblin assistant beside him, "Haruna was named by Rimuru."

"Yes, sirs! I'll take care of it immediately."

Haruna bowed to Gransta and Rimuru before leaving the ice sculpture castle.

"Holding a banquet?"

Rimuru looked at Gransta with a hint of confusion.

"Of course, it's to celebrate everyone being named and evolved, and also because this is our first gathering together, so of course Rimuru, as the head of the group, should say a few words."

"These were all prepared long ago, but since you've been asleep, Rimuru, we were just waiting for you."

Gransta glared at Rimuru with annoyance. "You've been sleeping for days on end, while I've been taking care of everyone's food, clothing, and shelter. You've been reincarnated and you still have to be a corporate slave? I'm not having it."

"Oh, I see. But I still have to go on stage and give a speech. That's kind of embarrassing."

Rimuru was also a working-class person in his previous life, so it was a bit difficult for him to speak to so many people on stage.

"You're the leader of this group. If you don't go, do you expect me to give the speech?"

Rimuru's eyes lit up as he looked at Gransta expectantly.

Gulansta simply gave a cold laugh.

"No way. Besides, this is a group you yourself are preparing to build; you are the core of this group! Take responsibility, Rimuru!"

Rimuru's expression immediately froze, turning extremely serious.

"Gransta, you're right. I will definitely take responsibility."

Gransta looked at Rimuru, whose fighting spirit he had ignited, and nodded in satisfaction.

But in my heart...

"Yeah, now I can slack off without worry."

...

"Lord Gransta, and Lord Rimuru, the banquet is ready, and everyone is waiting for you two."

"We are all incredibly excited about this banquet."

Ligurd and Haruna also entered the ice sculpture castle at this time to deliver the message.

"Alright, you guys go and wait. Our Rimuru needs a little more time to prepare."

"Yes." ✘2

The two were a little puzzled. It was just a banquet, what did they need to prepare?

After they left.

Rimuru emerged from behind Gransta, but there seemed to be something strange on his face.

"Gransta, do I look more dignified like this?"

Rimuru also showed Gransta the finished product he had been preparing for a long time.

Gransta's face darkened instantly when he saw the two white beards made of Lan Ya's wolf fur.

"Um, Rimuru, I can't really explain it... just try it and you'll see."

Gransta facepalmed. How can you look at a slime with two big mustaches? And you call that dignified? Are you trying to put on a comedy sketch?

.....

This open space outside

It was piled high with many food creatures, and in the middle was a high platform carved from ice.

Around the high platform stood rows of goblins and frost wolves, standing side by side in neat formation, much like a cavalry phalanx.

Standing at the very front was Ligurd, the former village chief, whose explosive muscles were quite eye-catching.

This was something Gransta had asked them to do, and although they didn't quite understand it, they did as he said.

Under their watchful eyes, their two adults finally appeared.

"Hmm, why is Gransta making such a big fuss? I'm getting a little nervous, what should I do?"

Rimuru was nervous when he saw such a big scene, even though he was somewhat prepared.

"Just walk slowly up to the platform, say a few words, and return it."

Gransta didn't care; today's protagonist was Rimuru.

Instead, he walked over to a pile of food, sat down casually, picked up a piece of fruit and started eating it, quietly watching Rimuru.

Rimuru could only slowly move onto the platform, but he silently put away the white beard he had prepared.

"Ahem, everyone... everyone~"

Faced with the expectant gazes around him, Rimuru was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Uh! Actually, I don't have much to say. So, to celebrate the evolution, to celebrate the end of the battle, and to celebrate my recovery, let the banquet begin!"

Since I can't come up with any proper opening remarks anyway, I might as well just start the banquet and leave the problems for tomorrow!

Amidst everyone's joyful cheers, the banquet continued until late at night.

The next day,

He gathered everyone together.

"Ahem, I'm planning to set some rules for the village. There's a saying that goes something like, 'Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.'"

"Is that how it's said, Gransta?"

Gulansta could only nod with a wry smile.

After the banquet last night, Rimuru and Granstaco had a long and in-depth discussion.

They were all discussing the future development direction of the village, since they had a large number of people to support.

Rimuru had a long chat with Gransta last night and summarized three points. Since the village is not large now, these three points are enough.

Rimuru jumped back onto the platform, and the goblins and frost wolves below fell silent.

"Is everyone here? Well then, Gransta and I will announce the rules! There are three rules in total, and we hope you will abide by them."

"So, these are the three main points."

"First, we cannot attack humans proactively. Of course, if humans injure us, we can retaliate."

The latter part was added by Rimuru at Gransta's request.

"Secondly, we must not allow internal strife to occur. Remember that we are a whole, and we must face difficulties together."

"Thirdly, haven't your strength already evolved? You can't bully other weaker races just because you are strong."

Rimuru rattled off a long speech, then looked at the crowd below and habitually uttered a single sentence.

"Did you understand everything? Feel free to ask any questions."

At this moment, the village chief's son, Liguru, stepped forward and asked in confusion.

"Lord Rimuru, why can't you attack humans?"

However, he was immediately glared at by Rigurd. The implication was clear: how dare you question the will of Lord Rimuru and the Grandmasters?

Rimuru sighed inwardly as he watched this scene.

Actually, he hoped that others would speak their minds directly, just like Liguru did.
