"Lord Rimuru, who is this? Do you know him?"

Kajin, who was standing to the side, looked at Gransta's invitation with some surprise and turned to ask Rimuru, because the position was indeed quite good.

"Oh, you mean him? He's my good friend, and also the second-in-command of our village."

Rimuru only gave a brief introduction without going into further explanation.

"Oh..." ✘4

Upon hearing Rimuru's reply, everyone realized that they were indeed acquainted, which explained why Gransta had extended such an invitation.

However, judging from Granstad's expression, he seemed to be a cold person, and everyone couldn't help but wonder why he would invite them to sit down together.

"Hmm... So it's Master Kejin..."

He raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked at the three dwarves of different sizes behind them, and continued speaking.

"I heard about Master Kaijin's superb skills while I was exploring the Dwarf Kingdom, and I've also heard of the three Dwarf brothers!"

After all, he is Master Kaijin, so he deserves our utmost respect. Moreover, they will become heroes in the construction of the village.

Gransta stood up, smiled, and showered the dwarves with compliments, appearing rather familiar with them.

As expected, these simple-minded dwarves couldn't resist such praise and immediately beamed with joy.

"Not at all, we're just a little bit known, hahaha."

"Since he's Lord Rimuru's friend, let's celebrate together! May I ask your name, friend?"

Kaijin and the others waved their hands, indicating that they had developed a better impression of Gransta.

"Just call me Gransta." Gransta's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

However, Gransta had already walked to Rimuru's side, carefully taking him from the two charming elf ladies and carrying him aside, as if she had something important to say.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't bother me while I'm playing with the girls, Gransta, what exactly do you want?"

Rimuru's little face was filled with displeasure.

Granda ignored Rimuru's complaints and instead leaned close to his ear and whispered something softly.

"I know you can duplicate coins, give me some, I'm penniless right now!"

Rimuru stared wide-eyed at Gransta with disbelief, muttering to himself.

"You dare come to a place like this when you have no money?"

To avoid being harassed by Gransta and to return to the warm embrace of the ladies as soon as possible, Rimuru thought, "It's just a few gold coins, I'll give them to him."

"Okay, here you go."

After saying that, Rimuru quickly handed the gold coins to Gransta, and then dashed back into the arms of the ladies like a bolt of lightning.

"Ah~ Oh"

A small impact made the elf girl gasp slightly, her breasts jiggling as if Rimuru had done it on purpose.

"Ugh, that Rimuru guy."

Gransta couldn't bear to look at him anymore, but decided to ignore him for the sake of the gold coins Rimuru gave him.

They quickly took their seats, clinked their glasses together, and greeted each other with words of welcome, accompanied by a lovely elf lady.

Gransta distributed the twenty gold coins to the two elf ladies who had just served him.

"Haha, I really owe it all to Lord Rimuru today. Without your help, I would never have been able to complete that seemingly impossible task. Come, let me toast you!"

With a face full of gratitude, Kaijin raised his glass to toast Rimuru.

Rimuru did not refuse and readily drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Unfortunately, he couldn't taste it. Sometimes, he really envied Granstadt for being able to savor the beauty of fine wine.

Just then, a female elf's voice came.

"Hello, Rimuru, want to come over here? I can give you..."

What?! Is it what he imagined? No way! I'm just a simple slime!

Unfortunately, things didn't turn out as he wished.

It turns out that the other person was asking if they wanted to use a magic crystal ball to make a prophecy and see the person destined for them.

Rimuru became very interested in this and expressed his desire to try it out.

"Okay, Rimuru, just place your hand above the crystal ball."

The female elf guided her as she spoke.

"learn!"

Rimuru excitedly did as he was told.

Granstad paused slightly in his grip on the wine glass, lost in thought.

Is it coming? Rimuru's destined one! Although he already knew it, he chose to remain silent, drinking quietly without saying a word.

Rimuru placed his hand on the crystal ball, which emitted a faint light, and a blurry image began to appear on the crystal ball.

Rimuru stared nervously at the crystal ball as the face gradually became clearer, revealing a beautiful girl who looked somewhat disappointed.

"Ha, she's a very pretty girl, Lord Rimuru."

Kaijin chuckled at Rimuru, saying that prophecies and such were just something to amuse them.

"Gransta, do you want to give it a try? I suddenly want to see."

Rimuru felt a pang of emotion upon seeing the girl in the picture, as if there was some kind of fate connecting them.

Could this girl really be his destined one?

"Me?"

Gransta was a little surprised; he hadn't expected Rimuru to say that.

"I can give it a try. I'm also a little curious about what destiny is."

Gransta imitated Rimuru's earlier actions, and everyone looked over curiously.

At first, the crystal ball was just a blurry mess, but gradually a sense of the scene began to emerge, revealing a snowy and icy landscape.

Gulansta stared intently at the scene, and the image began to clear, revealing a solitary, proud figure.

His back view alone exuded a cold and domineering aura, and behind him stood twelve blurry figures.

The scene ends there, and the crystal ball shatters with a crackling sound.

"Ah~"

The elf who had used magic to predict the future exclaimed in surprise. They hadn't even seen what was going on yet! How could it have shattered so quickly?

Everyone was extremely disappointed, and even Rimuru could only see a little bit clearly.

"We can't completely believe in magic predictions and such. It's mainly up to human effort. Let's continue drinking."

Granstas offered a comforting remark to the group.

"Granstad is right, anything is possible with effort! Let's raise a toast, a truly delightful one!"

Kaijin stood up abruptly, shouted something at the crowd, his face flushed from drinking.

"Cheers!" ✘5

They seemed not to care at all, and continued their celebrations, and the matter passed without a trace.
