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

Gransta lazily rolled his dead fish eyes. Now that Rimuru was gone, he would have to handle these things himself.

After chatting with Bai Lao for a while, Hong Wan and Bai Lao said goodbye, as they still had many things to take care of at their posts.

"By the way, Lord Gransta, that disciple named Yhorm is also leaving here soon."

At this point, Old Man Bai mentioned the human's situation to him. Gransta knew about this human; Rimuru must have made arrangements beforehand.

"If this human from Yhorm wants to leave, let him go."

"Yes, that's what Lord Rimuru told me too. Heh, he really is a talented human." Old Man White stroked his beard and chuckled, as if this human named Yhorm had shown remarkable talent during training.

Under Rimuru's tutelage, Yhorm gradually mastered various combat techniques and magical knowledge. His progress was remarkable; not only did his physical abilities improve significantly, but his control over magic also became increasingly skillful.

In a practical exercise, Yhorm, with his excellent tactical awareness and decisive decision-making, successfully defeated a powerful monster. This impressed the goblins, including Whitebeard, who praised him as a rare talent.

Granstad and Old Man Bai talked about the Ice Guards' performance in training.

When the Ice Guards were mentioned, Elder Bai's eyes lit up with anticipation.

"Lord Ice Guard is truly a born knight, and his understanding of swordsmanship far surpasses that of ordinary people. He has even begun to comprehend a swordsmanship that is uniquely his own."

"Just recently, I sparred with him in swordsmanship."

However, Elder Bai did not reveal the specific results of the sparring match, but his surprised expression showed that he was deeply impressed by the Ice Guard's mastery of swordsmanship.

After all, Elder Bai was the one responsible for instructing the Ice Guards in swordsmanship, and now even he was amazed by it.

Granstas's expression faltered slightly. He knew that the Ice Guard might have some talent for swordsmanship, but seeing Elder Bai's shock, he realized that the Ice Guard's talent far exceeded his expectations.

Old Bai couldn't wait to return to the training ground to continue teaching his disciples, so after bidding farewell to Gransta, he turned and walked towards the training ground.

Watching Elder Bai's departing figure, Gransta stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

"It seems I need to deliver that weapon, specially crafted for the Ice Guard, to him ahead of schedule..."

Gransta pondered to himself that he should give this special weapon to the Ice Guardian as soon as possible to help him better unleash his power.

Just as Gransta was about to return to the ice sculpture castle, a pink-haired loli dressed in a sailor uniform rushed over from the clean street in the distance.

"Hmm..."

As soon as Milim saw Gransta, she rushed over, even buttoning one of her clothes crookedly.

"Grandmaster, where's Rimuru?"

"Milim asked anxiously, staring with her innocent big eyes."

"Rimuru already set off; he's probably far ahead by now!"

Granstas told the truth, his gaze fixed on the traces of drool at the corner of Milim's mouth.

"Ah~"

Milim's face immediately showed regret. She clenched her fists and stomped her foot angrily: "Damn it, I missed the chance to play with Rimuru!"

Her eyes gleamed with resentment and disappointment, as if she had lost the most precious thing in the world.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have gotten up earlier and not slept in..." Milim murmured to herself, her heart filled with self-reproach.

She recalled that she had gone to bed early last night because she was too tired, but she did not expect to sleep so soundly this morning that she missed the moment to set off with Rimuru.

"Sigh, what should we do now?" Milim sighed helplessly, feeling extremely frustrated.

She had been looking forward to playing with Rimuru, but now that wish was shattered, leaving her feeling incredibly disappointed.

However, Milim did not give up hope. She decided to take immediate action and catch up with Rimuru and the others.

So she quickly straightened her clothes, composed herself, and then chased after Rimuru in the direction he had left as fast as she could.

Although she knew it might be too late, she still didn't want to give up even the slightest chance.

As Milim ran, she secretly resolved that she would get up early next time and not miss anything important again.

"Damn it, it's all Ramiris's fault that I stayed up so late yesterday and overslept."

Milim grabbed at her hair haphazardly, making it a mess.

"I didn't even make it to Rimuru's farewell, sob..."

"I'm not a...good best friend..."

Milim's expression was one of extreme regret, and tears were almost falling.

"Milim, what are you going to do with Rimuru? If you actually go with them, it will be a huge problem."

Gransta looked at Milim like this and felt his head was about to explode; he was utterly speechless.

Huh?

To be honest, how long has Milim been staying in the Monster Capital? If she doesn't leave, then what about her and Queen Frey's plans...?

Gransta felt terrible at this thought. Although the Monster Holy City was very well-built and had excellent entertainment facilities, it was not a reason for Milim to stay here.

"I'm telling you, Milim can still catch up with Rimuru since he only left recently."

Granstas said slowly, looking at Milim with a hint of ill intent.

Milim's eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes, I can still catch up..."

"Thank you, Gransta."

As soon as Milim finished speaking, she couldn't wait to take flight and run towards the outside of the Demon Holy City.

"Rimuru, I'm here..."

It flew towards the sky outside, shouting all the while.

Granstas could finally relax once he saw Milim leave.

However, this puzzled Julai, who was standing to the side.

"Lord Gransta, you still haven't told her where Rimuru went?"

Julei blinked, looking curiously at Gransta's profile.

Gransta smiled indifferently and waved to Julei.

"Haha, I don't think Milim will be coming back for the time being, since Rimuru has already left."

"Oh?"

Julai knew that Lord Gransta probably had some plans that seemed to be related to Milim, but she didn't ask about them.

Gransta then returned to the ice sculpture castle and took out a crystal ball from his person.

After some magic was infused, the crystal ball began to vaguely display some images.

It seems that a connection has been established with another crystal ball, as Frey's figure appears in the image.

Frey lay languidly on a chair, watching a familiar face appear in the crystal ball in her hand.

"This elf contacted me?"
