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

"Not bad, not bad, I didn't expect this trip to Dovagon to have such unexpected gains."

Gransta lay bored on a high building, quite satisfied with the B-grade materials lying in the material library.

"I've pretty much seen the entire Kingdom of Dowagon. It truly lives up to its reputation as a country where dwarves, humans, and elves coexist."

"Even monsters can roam the streets of this country."

King Gazel, known as the Hero King, possessed such courage entirely through his strength. It is said that he alone was comparable to a thousand troops, and he had never been defeated in his many years of conquest.

His strength is already comparable to that of a Demon King, and he is even on par with an awakened Demon King!

Gransta estimated that his strength was only at the level of an ordinary demon king, still some distance from the level of an awakened demon king.

Rimuru's strength should be similar to his, at the level of an ordinary Demon Lord.

If it were against some ordinary Demon Lords, Gransta would be confident of a complete rout, but against someone like Gazel, it's hard to say how long he could last...

"The awakened Demon King~"

Gransta stared intently at the resource library; he had already asked the [Overlord] how to improve his strength.

The answer was that it required combining the advanced properties of several A+ grade rare materials to induce evolution.

It was then that he realized he could also increase his strength by fusing high-level materials.

Simply put, these materials are Gransta's experience materials, but with his current strength as an ordinary demon king, he can only fuse materials of A+ grade or higher.

This is why Gransta is so eager to hunt high-level monsters; he is not like some naive slime who can become stronger by devouring monsters.

In the world of Moe King, the rules are that simple: everything is based on strength. Without strength, you can only be dominated by others.

He only needs to evolve once more to reach the strength of an ordinary demon king, but that requires the right materials.

Gransta snapped out of his thoughts and stroked his chin.

"I think I can go find Rimuru now. Is he still in prison? Should I try to rescue him?"

"I'll wait for Rimuru in the same place; I'm afraid of hurting his pride."

Soon Gransta thought of a place, and his figure disappeared.

Shortly after Gransta left, a ghostly figure appeared in the place where Gransta had been.

"Strange! Why can't I track them anymore? Could it be that my stealth technique has been discovered?"

The figure frowned slightly; she had just tried to track him using her skill, but it had failed.

"Never mind, let's go back and report to the King!"

The figure slowly disappeared from the spot again.

...

On a street

A man in a blue robe, with a handsome face and captivating icy blue eyes.

I stood quietly in front of a shop, looking up at the shop name hanging above.

Logically speaking, how come there's no one around this kind of shop? Maybe he arrived too early.

"The shop is called 'Night Butterfly'? This should be it! Let's go in and take a look..."

He muttered to himself as he stepped into the shop without hesitation.

Upon entering the store, you'll see a beautiful and charming female elf dozing off against the bar.

The female elf seemed to sense someone entering, subconsciously rubbed her eyes, then suddenly looked up and said with a smile.

"Welcome! I'm sorry, our store usually only opens in the evening, you've come too early."

However, when she saw who it was, the smile on her face froze instantly, replaced by utter astonishment. She involuntarily covered her mouth with her hand and cried out.

"Wow...so handsome! Wait...you, you're actually a male elf? How is that possible!"

Time flies, and night quietly falls...

"Haha" x4

"Lord Rimuru, you've really done me a great favor today. Rest assured, I will fulfill all your requests."

"Thank you very much, Kaikin."

Rimuru thanked him with a big smile.

Actually, he only copied a few magic swords today using his skills, so why did you drag him along to celebrate?

"I heard that several very pretty elf girls have come to that store again."

"That's right, they are all very cute elf sisters."

"hey-hey."

Rimuru was initially planning to refuse, but upon hearing the three dwarf brothers mention that there was a shop with an elf lady, he immediately changed his mind.

"Actually... it's not that you can't go and take a look."

You know, Rimuru has been eyeing the elf girl for a long time. Is he going to get a good look today?

Rimuru, pulled along by the dwarf brothers, arrived at a shop called "Night Butterfly".

"Oh, welcome!" ✘2

These...aren't they all beautiful older women?!

Wow! Those ears are so long! She really is an elf lady, and not a male one at that.

At that moment, two adorable elves also saw Rimuru's round and chubby appearance.

"Oh my! So cute!!" ✘2

"Hey! I found it first!"

"Hmph! I saw it first!"

The other fairy lady was not to be outdone.

Rimuru felt something soft against his back!

Is this... the legendary paradise for men?

Limmu thought to herself, "It smells so good!"

"Heh heh, it seems Lord Rimuru is quite popular!"

The dwarves who followed Rimuru were a little envious of his popularity.

"Eh...? Well, it's not as exciting as you say..."

Rimuru wanted to offer a sanctimonious explanation, but the expression on his face betrayed him.

As expected, the explanation was a bit far-fetched... Nobody believed it at all.

But there's nothing we can do about it! After all, Rimuru is currently being held in the arms of the elf ladies!

Rimuru was carried into the shop by two fairy girls, his face still showing a look of reminiscence.

So comfortable~

"Oh, there are other customers in the store!"

Rimuru noticed a somewhat familiar figure from behind, flanked by two beautiful elves, and asked curiously.

"Ah, that's our honored guest. I'll arrange a good seat for you right away."

Just then, the blue-robed figure sitting over there heard the commotion and turned around to meet Rimuru's gaze.

"Ah! Gransta, what are you doing here?"

Rimuru was very surprised, especially after Gransta saw him looking like this, he felt even worse.

Oh no, my perfect image is about to collapse.

"Oh, Rimuru? Arrange them in my position. They're my friends, and this position is quite lucrative."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

The two elf ladies were a little surprised, not expecting that the mascot in their hands would recognize this adult.
