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

However, Torreni still respectfully bowed to Gransta in thanks.

...

"Lord Gransta, Lord Rimuru informed us that he had something important to announce."

At this moment, Zhu Lai spoke up, her expression suggesting that she already knew what it was about.

"Let's go, let's see Rimuru off."

Gransta quickly tidied up the scattered ice sculptures and then went to the council hall.

As soon as Gransta arrived at the council hall, he heard a sound of weeping.

"Lord Rimuru, we can't leave you!"

Tears streamed down Rigurd's face. When he heard that Lord Rimuru was leaving for a while, he felt like the sky was falling.

Therefore, he tried his best to persuade him to stay. If Lord Rimuru left, what would happen to this huge demon capital?

"Oh dear, Rigurd, don't be sad. I'm only leaving for a while. I'll leave everything here to you."

Rimuru kept patting Rigurd on the shoulder to comfort him.

Upon hearing these words, Ligurd burst into tears.

As Gransta walked over, he immediately saw a group of people surrounding Rimuru, all of whom looked very reluctant to part with him.

"Rimuru, have you made up your mind?"

When the goblins gathered there saw Lord Gransta arrive, they all respectfully made way for him.

Upon hearing Gransta's voice, Rimuru turned around and nodded at him.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. I'll leave this to them."

Wow~

Suddenly Rigurd burst into tears, startling Rimuru who was standing nearby.

"Lord Gransta, you must persuade Lord Rimuru. We cannot live without Lord Rimuru."

Ligurd wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes, looking very sad.

Granstas sighed helplessly as he looked at Rigurd's pleading expression.

"I've already tried to dissuade him, but Rimuru has probably already made up his mind to go play for a while."

"Play?"

Ligurand immediately turned around and looked at Lord Rimuru with a strange expression.

Didn't they say they received a mission from their senior brother Gazel and had to go away for a while?

"Ahhh~ Haha, Gransta!"

Rimuru quickly stopped Gransta from continuing, and winked at him for a while.

"Um..."

Rimuru quietly explained to Gransta for a while; otherwise, he really wouldn't have found an excuse to cancel all his work.

Gransta glanced at Rimuru, who was lying, and found it a little funny. He went to play and had to tell such a lie.

However, he didn't expose Rimuru's lie and nodded to Rigurd.

"Rimuru does indeed have a mission this time."

Since Lord Granstas had said so, Rigurd immediately believed it, but he was still very reluctant to part with it.

Before long, Red Pill, Old Man White and the others received the news and rushed over.

"Hehe, Lord Rimuru is going to see the outside world, so don't neglect your swordsmanship!"

Old Man White's familiar laughter showed that he wasn't surprised at all by Rimuru's decision.

Back then, his swordsmanship wasn't something he honed in isolation; he gradually mastered it after traveling to many countries...

Rimuru looked at his swordsmanship teacher, who had appeared before him, with surprise and promised to respond.

"Don't worry, Elder Bai, I won't neglect my sword training."

Old Bai stroked his beard with satisfaction, his face beaming with a kind and gentle expression.

Benimaru, as the military commander, also stepped forward and addressed Lord Rimuru before him.

"Lord Rimuru, I will definitely protect the Monster Holy City while you are away, and nothing will go wrong."

Rimuru was also deeply moved. He felt very reassured that he could entrust the Demon Saint to these capable individuals.

Even if something unexpected happens, they will notify him immediately—or rather, leave it to that reliable guy, Gransta.

"Rimuru-sama~!!!"

A very loud female voice could be heard from a great distance.

When Rimuru heard this voice, his body trembled uncontrollably.

Oh no, I'm terrified of seeing that person come.

"Rimuru-sama..."

Her hair was tied in a high purple ponytail, and her chest rippled as she walked, making her very eye-catching.

The goblins surrounding Rimuru consciously made way for him, though they were also a little flustered when they saw him.

Gransta glanced over and saw Shion walking over, holding a large cleaver.

This made his eyelids twitch. Good heavens, this wasn't a farewell party, it seemed like they were actually "sending off" someone.

"Ah, Shion, what... what are you doing?"

Rimuru cowered behind Gransta, looking at Shion who was approaching with a somewhat frightening aura.

"I heard that Lord Rimuru has decided to leave for a while, so I specially made some bento boxes for him to eat on his journey..."

Shion slammed the several-meter-long sword down on the ground with a loud thud. (Don't misunderstand, this is Shion's chef's knife; she just carried it because she arrived in a hurry.)

Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back. When Rimuru heard that Shion had made him some lunchboxes for the road, his face almost turned purple.

Ziyuan handed over a large box with a big smile, she was extremely happy.

But Rimuru looked terrible. To be honest, he really wanted to refuse, but then he looked at the huge cleaver stuck in the ground and swallowed hard.

Rimuru remained frozen for a long while, hesitant to take the box from Shion's hand.

Ziyuan looked puzzled; this was a gift she had painstakingly prepared...

The goblins around them didn't dare to look over, and even Benimaru and Haku stood aside chatting quietly, as if they hadn't seen what was happening.

Gransta pulled Rimuru from behind and stood in front of him, speaking earnestly.

"This is Ziyuan's kind intention; you mustn't let her down."

Rimuru stared wide-eyed at Gransta, his face then filled with resentment.

In the end, Rimuru accepted Shion's bento with trembling hands.

Seeing that Lord Rimuru accepted the bento, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at him.

"You guys..."

Tears were already welling up in Rimuru's eyes, but Granstas seemed not to notice Rimuru's expression and patted him on the shoulder.

Shion thought that Lord Rimuru was touched by her actions, especially since it was a bento he had carefully prepared. At that moment, she smiled like an innocent girl.

"Lord Rimuru, be sure to savor this on your journey!"

"Um...."

Rimuru choked out a sound.

(Ahem...sorry, Black Myth, huh? It's so hard to play, I almost smashed my keyboard. I heard the Slime mobile game just came out today, hehe, going to look for some inspiration...)
