The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　"Oh, could that be your secret weapon, slime? It seems I have to question your motives."

　Before Rimuru could answer, a little girl in a sailor uniform emerged from the bushes. The tree spirit Treny immediately bowed respectfully to the little girl, and Rimuru also took out a large string of grilled fish and threw it to the little girl. This was Shuna's method, which was to feed the little girl more food to increase her affection level, but you must not touch her horns or tail, as that would instantly reduce her affection level to zero.

　"This is what you are doing?"

　"Hero King, this is actually the person you've been looking for."

　"Hmm? Wait, I know the tree spirits don't lie. No, I mean, this is just such a small child."

　Gazel Dovergun's original intention was to test the stance of the Jura Forest Alliance to determine whether to conclude a peace treaty with them, but now it seemed that the alliance was unreliable. Gazel Dovergun raised his longsword and pointed it at the young girl. "I already guessed what was going on."

　The dryads Treny and Rimuru looked at Gazel Dovergon with suspicion. Just as they were wondering why Gazel Dovergon would say such a thing, Gazel Dovergon spoke up: "This is not your true nature, is it, Lord of the Jura Forest? The purpose of my visit is to discern your true nature. It seems you are indeed not a good person. Indeed, I can only use this sword of mine to see your true nature."

　"King of Heroes, no!"

　Gazel Dovergun leaped up and swung it down at the little girl's neck. Just as the little girl was about to stuff the last skewer of grilled fish into her mouth, she sensed someone trying to steal it. She bared her teeth and was about to unleash her Berserker Giant Beast when Rimuru, worried that Gazel Dovergun might hurt her, immediately fired a water blade. By sheer coincidence, Gazel Dovergun knocked the little girl's grilled fish to the ground. The little girl looked at the grilled fish on the ground, then at Gazel Dovergun and Rimuru, her little face puffed up like a steamed bun in anger.

　Immediately afterwards, "Bang!" and "Clang!" were heard. The first sound was Rimuru flying out, and the second sound was Gazel Dovergun flying out. Gazel Dovergun, who was wearing full armor, was sent flying like a weed in the wind by the little girl's tail. The armor that the dwarves were so proud of was left with an indelible dent. The Hero King's guards immediately wanted to rush forward, but Rimuru helped the Hero King out of the ruins. If Rimuru hadn't immediately thrown a healing potion at the Hero King, the Hero King would probably have fallen asleep for a while.

　"Don't move! I, I'm certain, she's absolutely not an evil person." With that, the Hero King collapsed.

　At the evening banquet, Gazel Dovagon looked at the little girl with her cheeks stuffed full and said in surprise, "What? You're saying that's actually a dragon? But didn't the Storm Dragon Veldora disappear? Wait, isn't Veldora dark blue?"

　The tree spirit Torene nodded. "That is indeed the case, King of Heroes. Although he doesn't look like it, Lord Guang is indeed a dragon."

　Besides the king of the armed nation of Dovergon, on the other side of the continent, the demon lords of this world also saw the platinum dragon. Like King Gazel Dovergon, the demon lords seemed to regard the platinum dragon as some kind of power of the slime. The pink-haired little girl said that the slime was very interesting.

　The white-haired man beside her reminded her, "But I must remind you, Milim, the Jura Forest is protected by an inviolable treaty. Isn't it inappropriate for you to go there so rashly?"

　"Ha, the inviolable treaty, Veldora has disappeared, what use is that thing now?"

　"I see. If that's what you think, then I have no further questions."

　The others around her nodded in agreement. Milim was praising her own cleverness when she suddenly thought of something. "Hey, I'd like to make one thing clear in advance: no underhanded tactics allowed. Anyone have any objections?"

　After receiving affirmative answers from the others, Milim nodded. "Then it's settled. I'll be right back. Clement, Carrion, Frey." With that, Milim transformed into a pink streak of light and dashed off.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: That PVZ hybrid version is so much fun!

　Volume 1: Chapter 255 - The Strongest and Oldest Demon King

　As the town developed, its infrastructure gradually improved, including a running water system, flush toilets, and bathhouses. Under Rimuru's command, the orcs quickly completed the road between the goblin village and the lizardman village, allowing for the exchange of lizardman resources for goblin products.

　The next project to begin is the road leading to the armed nation of Dovergon. Rimuru plans to sell healing potions. The cave that originally sealed Veldora is very suitable for the growth of herbs, and healing potions are an essential product. Having reached this point, Rimuru also knows that if he wants to continue to develop the Jura Alliance, he must open up free trade routes. He plans to discuss this with the dryad Treny and the lizardman leader at the next meeting.

　That day, Rimuru was admiring his town. With the development of infrastructure, life here was becoming more and more comfortable, although there weren't many things that Rimuru, in his slime form, could enjoy. Moreover, he had just received good news: they had obtained rice and paddy rice. Just as Rimuru was imagining the taste of curry rice, he suddenly sensed an unusually powerful magical force. According to his magical perception, the huge ball of magical force was flying towards the town at a terrifying speed.

　"boom!"

　Before Rimuru could react, a pink meteor pierced through the clouds and crashed directly near him. The immense air pressure instantly whipped up dust and rocks from the ground, and the impact, like a meteorite falling, created a huge crater in the road that the orcs had painstakingly paved. Rimuru knew that the person who came was no ordinary person, so he immediately called Rigurd to help evacuate the nearby goblins.

　At this moment, a petite figure gradually appeared in the smoke and dust.

　"Nice to meet you. I am Milim Navada, the only Dragon Demon in this world, the Demon Lord with the title of 'Tyrant of Destruction.'" After introducing herself, Milim glanced around at the crowd, then turned to Rimuru on the ground. "Looks like you're the strongest one in this town. I've come to say hello~"

　Rimuru immediately used his appraisal skill to examine the other party's data. As he had predicted, the opponent's strength was on par with Veldora, judging from the amount of magic energy emanating from them. "So this is the Demon Lord," Rimuru thought to himself.

　"Hello, my name is Rimuru, Rimuru Tempest, and I am the master of this town."

　As Rimuru introduced himself to Milim, he tried to figure out Milim's purpose in coming to the Jura Forest. The dryad Treyne had told him that the affairs of the Jura Forest could not be hidden from the eyes of the Demon Lords. He did not expect the Demon Lords to come to him so quickly. If it was an invasion, then he had to call the young girl over as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Rimuru suddenly remembered that Ranga had told him that the young girl had gone out hunting early in the morning.

　"Speaking of which, does Miss Milim have any other business here besides saying hello?" Judging from Milim's attitude, it didn't seem like she was being aggressive, which relieved Rimuru.

　"Speaking of which, this is your original form. That giant platinum-colored creature that killed Krumit and the Pig-Headed Emperor in an instant was your special ability~"

　"No, no, no, that's not me. But it's amazing that you recognized me as the strongest at first glance." Rimuru never expected that this Demon Lord would mistake him for that platinum-colored giant beast, just like the King of Heroes, Gazel Dovergon.

　Milim winked smugly, then proudly put her hands on her hips.

　He said, "This level is too easy for me. My eyes are special Dragon Eyes; they can even detect the amount of hidden magic energy in an opponent!"

　"It's similar to my [Analysis and Appraisal], I wonder if she can see through Hikari's hidden magic power," Rimuru thought to himself. Then, looking at the abundant magic power on Milim's body after the appraisal, Rimuru roughly calculated that Milim's magic power was more than ten times that of Rimuru. She truly deserves to be called a calamity.

　"So don't try to play the victim in front of me. But that giant platinum-colored creature really isn't you, is it?"

　"No, no, but that person is indeed one of our allies, and if you want to see her, you must follow the rules of the alliance."

　"rule?"

　Before Rimuru could even begin to explain, Ranga immediately emerged from the shadows, grabbed Rimuru in his mouth, and carried him on his back. Just as he was about to retreat, Rimuru quickly transformed into human form and stopped Ranga's actions. "Ranga, why are you back? Where are Hikari and the others?"

　"My lord, I sensed a powerful energy fluctuation, so I rushed over immediately. Lord Hikari is still on his way back to the village." Ranya's fur stood on end as he looked at Milim with a wary expression. This was understandable, as the pressure Milim exuded was indeed quite terrifying.

　"Don't worry, Ranga, Milim doesn't have any bad intentions. She just wants to say hello to Hikari."

　Milim nodded in agreement. "If you follow the rules of the alliance, I can take you to see that person."

　"Ugh, this is so troublesome, why?"

　"Because you are the Demon King, you are already very intimidating. If you cause a ruckus in our village, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Look, you have destroyed this road. So, if you promise not to cause trouble in the village without my permission, I will take you to see that person."

　Although Milim was somewhat reluctant, she still agreed to Rimuru's request, "Yes, of course, no problem, Rimuru." Afterwards, Rimuru called Rigurd over and instructed him to repair the damaged road surface.

　Rimuru was leading Milim towards the kitchen. According to Shuna's experience, there were two places where young girls often appeared: the kitchen and the high places in the village. "Is this some kind of feline?" Rimuru wondered to himself as he answered Milim's question. Milim was just like a child, very interested in everything around her.

　Unfortunately, the little girl wasn't in the kitchen. Rimuru then thought of the other summoning method that Shuna had mentioned, and Milim said with some regret, "Eh, she's not here."

　"Hmm, logically it should be over here."

　Just as Rimuru was about to use his food summoning technique, two loud "booms" echoed as the little girl tossed two enormous spear-armored crabs at the kitchen doorway. "Whoa, what... what are these things?" Rimuru stared dumbfounded at the enormous spear-armored crabs. The crabs' round heads had been completely deformed by the little girl's beating, and they looked extremely gruesome, while the little girl's face was only covered in some dirt.

　The young girl wasn't sure if it tasted good or not, but judging from its appearance, the Gun-Leg Armored Crab was somewhat similar to the Daimyo Shield Crab she had seen before. However, the way crabs were prepared was almost the same in every world, and the goblin chef chose to steam or stew them.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: The restriction on private messages was lifted last night. I was originally going to say that I would update one chapter for every private message posted, hehehe. Luckily, I was honest. Some big shots in the group were forced to update ten more chapters, lol.

　Volume 1: Chapter 256 - The Impending Storm

　The chefs removed the eight legs of the Gungnir crab and placed them in a steamer along with its cephalothorax, sprinkling them with onions, salt, and other seasonings before steaming. The massive abdomen, after being processed, was placed in a large iron pot with broth, chopped into small pieces, and stewed with beef and pork. Typically, one Gungnir crab is enough to feed most goblins, but two would only fill the young girl to about six or seven tenths of her capacity.

　"Eat~" After answering Rimuru's question, while waiting for the Gun-Leg Armored Giant Crab dish to finish, the little girl munched on the fried pork cutlet that Shuna had prepared for her. Milim curiously approached the little girl, poking her chubby cheeks with her finger. The little girl shook her head unhappily, then opened her mouth, revealing her little fangs, and bit down on Milim's finger. Rimuru quickly grabbed Milim's hand, "Stop playing, or she'll bite you."

　"Hahaha, she's so cute. Is she really that big guy? Why can't I sense any magic energy at all?" Rimuru was unsure what to do. As a secret weapon of the Jura Alliance, Rimuru generally didn't want others to know the young girl's true form and abilities.

　The young girl looked at Milim in front of her and decisively...

　This pink-haired guy was classified as a "dangerous person." The little girl carefully took a small step back, then quickly stuffed the rest of the fried meat cutlet into her mouth and chewed it continuously, resulting in her cheeks being bulging out.

　Soon, the steamed giant crab and crab meat soup were ready. The little girl skillfully pried open the crab's legs, took out large chunks of crab meat, and stuffed them into her mouth, showing an "O~O" expression. She also gave the soup a good review. After the meal, Milim, accompanied by Shuna and Shion, went to the newly built public bathhouse for a bath. This was a service that Rimuru had specially recommended. Sure enough, Milim also liked bathing after experiencing it, even though Shion kept advising her not to swim in the bathhouse, but Milim simply wouldn't listen.

　After a tense and exciting day, Rimuru summoned Kaijin, Benimaru, Hakuro, the young girl, and Arashi to the conference room to discuss Milim's arrival. According to Rimuru and the dryad Treyne's plan, the Jura Forest Alliance, under the protection of the young girl, would not have to worry about the Demon Lord unless he took the initiative to invade. However, Milim's arrival made things take a strange turn.

　"What are everyone's thoughts on Milim's situation?"

　"We never expected the Demon King to come in person." Benimaru, Souei, and Haku expressed their opinions. In the past, this was something they would never have dared to imagine.

　“However, Milim has already agreed with us not to cause trouble in the village, so there shouldn’t be any problems.” Rimuru felt that things were fine as they were.

　"Lord Rimuru, what's more concerning isn't Lord Rimuru himself, but rather the opinions of the other Demon Lords."

　Red Maru, Soei, and Old Man Bai nodded in agreement with Kaijin's point of view.

　"What do you mean by that?" Rimuru was a little confused by Kejin's words.

　"There are currently ten Demon Lords, and they have been keeping each other in check for a long time, so they have always been in a state of balance. Lady Milim's decision to stay in our city sends a signal to the other Demon Lords, indicating that this town is under the protection of Demon Lord Milim. However, since the Storm Dragon Veldora protected the Great Forest, the Jura Great Forest has always been an independent place. Now it means that the Jura Great Forest has formed an alliance with Lady Milim, which will inevitably affect the balance among the other Demon Lords."

　The little girl had a blank expression, completely unaware of what they were discussing. The only reason she wasn't asleep was because she was chewing on jerky. Her long, white-gold tail was curled up in front of her and swayed slightly. The golden scales made people want to reach out and touch it, but no one dared to do so yet. After all, Gavilu had shown others what would happen if they touched a little girl without permission.

　Lanmei didn't understand what they were so nervous about. Was the Demon King some kind of terrifying thing?

　"I see, that really is a difficult problem."

　On the other side of the Jura Forest, in the Kingdom of Brumt, Fizz, the guild master of the Free Guild, is sharing intelligence with the Baron.

　"Monsters built and lived in a town, and the monsters were led by a slime. That slime even killed the pig-headed lord. Is this true?"

　Fitz nodded noncommittally. "It's hard to believe, but it's true. And we should thank that slime, after all, we were saved by this slime named Rimuru."

　"Yes, and we also need to consider how to handle our relationship with him in the future. Should we befriend him as a benevolent monster, or should we identify him as an evil threat to humanity and try to eliminate him? But can we really eliminate him?"

　"It seems I have to go there myself. Let me see for myself what that guy named Rimuru is really like."

　After finalizing the next steps with the Baron, Fitz found the team that had seen the slime before—the bumbling trio of Ellen, Ghidorah, and Kabaru. When Fitz came to their door, the three initially thought they were about to embark on some dangerous mission, but they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they were going to see the slime.

　"Hey!" The little girl wielded the Berserker Giant and hacked at the Bloodhorn Bull herd. Milim also jumped up and punched a Bloodhorn Bull in the head. Soon, under the two's onslaught, the large herd of Bloodhorn Bulls was loaded onto a cart and hauled back to Goblin Town. Thanks to Rimuru's efforts, Goblin Town now had crops such as flour and rice. So, the meal to be prepared in the kitchen today was decided to be hamburger patties.

　The young girl and Milim stood happily in front of the stove waiting. The goblin chefs worked together to throw the Bloodhorn beef onto the cutting board, and then quickly picked up kitchen knives to cut the Bloodhorn beef into different cuts, such as shoulder, tenderloin, ribs and brisket.

　Place the cut brisket and tenderloin into a meat grinder and grind them until they become a sticky mass of minced meat. Then, crack the rock pheasant eggs and pour them into the minced meat. Next, add chopped onions, pepper, salt, and a series of spices. Finally, add an appropriate amount of flour and mix the meat filling evenly by hand. The next step is much simpler: press the meat filling into patties, coat them with egg wash and breadcrumbs, and place them in a hot iron pan. The bright red meat patties immediately emit a wonderful sizzling sound when they come into contact with the high temperature.

　Seeing the mountain of hamburger patties piled up, the little girl couldn't wait to grab one and stuff it into her mouth. The patty slurped...

　It disappeared down her throat in a gulp, and Milim happily took a bite of the meat patty. The juices immediately filled Milim's mouth, and the bursting aroma of the fat and the satisfaction brought by the high fat content made Milim squint her eyes.

　At this moment, Milim seemed to have forgotten why she had come here in the first place.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: Speaking of which, Hikari's strategy as the ruler of the Great Forest is similar to Milim's – you all live your lives, I live mine. However, Hikari has one more requirement: she must be able to cook. Hopefully, Hikari can manage the Great Forest well! 23333

　Volume 1: I was ganked by chilled watermelon and iced cola~

　I bought a watermelon after get off work, then ate a couple more bites of the chilled watermelon. While researching, I also drank an iced cola. I... I'm completely out of typing... I need to take a day off.

　I feel like the love is gone. All the fun of summer is gone, I can't even eat a watermelon anymore!

　Speaking of which, the Tenkai Ryu plush toy I ordered arrived today, and hahaha, let me show you~

　You're Tenkai Ryu, why are you cosplaying as Imperial Sea Dragon?

　Volume 1: Chapter 257 - The Test Between Demon Kings

　After a long day's work, the diligent young girl, Milim, and Arashi arrived at the bathhouse together. The young girl took the lead, quickly sliding into the water, while Milim crashed into the water like a stone, splashing a large spray. After soaking herself in the hot spring water, the young girl puffed out her cheeks and made gurgling sounds, then exhaled a series of bubbles. Seeing the young girl's actions, Milim also imitated her, blowing bubbles as well. Arashi slowly took off her clothes and gently stepped into the hot spring. Shion also took off her wet clothes and followed suit. Shuna looked at Shion's chest, then at Arashi's chest, sighed, and then soaked in the hot spring as well.

　With a "whoosh," Gobqi pushed open the door and walked in. "Everyone, the hot spring package and shochu are here."

　Zhu Cai took the plate and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Gobqi."

　"Not at all, it's my honor to serve you gentlemen. I'll take my leave now. Please let me know if you need anything else." After saying that, Gobki left the hot spring. As for Rimuru, he was in the men's bath next door. Although Rimuru himself is genderless as a slime, his core is that of a great mage in his thirties. Especially with the young girl and Milim there, he didn't want to go in at all, not even a little bit.

　The onsen set meal plates were designed with the idea of ​​fully enjoying a hot spring bath in mind. The wide, boat-like bottom of the plates could float on the water, and the carved tracks could hold the plates containing food. Shuna picked up the plates and thoughtfully poured sake for Arashi and Shion. The young girl and Milim didn't need Shuna to pour sake for them, as they were the type to drink directly from the bottles. The main dishes of the onsen set meal were grilled fish and chicken skewers, and of course, there were also onsen eggs.

　Milim swam happily in the bathhouse. She had won the breath-holding contest against Shion and Shuna last time, so this time she was going to beat the little girl in the swimming contest. The little girl floated on the surface of the water, her slender tail propelling her forward. Shuna, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Speaking of which, how did Lady Milim know about our village?"

　"Uh, well, it was unintentional, yes, I noticed it unintentionally. Or rather, after your battle with the pig-headed tribe, it's hard for anyone not to notice what's going on here~"

　"Oh, I see."

　"Yes, after all, a half-orc monarch could potentially grow into a demon king, so naturally he's attracting the attention of the current demon kings~"

　"Are the demon kings so bored that they have to pay attention to these things?"

　Milim suddenly stood up from the water, "Becoming a Demon Lord is quite interesting."

　"You can fight strong people, you can scare demons and humans, it's all very interesting~" Seeing the little girl's O_o expression, Milim quickly emphasized, "It really is very interesting~"

　Meanwhile, the other three demon lords were not idle either. Although Milim had warned Carrion, Frey, and Clayman not to interfere before setting off, things always change. After learning that Milim had stayed in the Jura Forest and reached a friendly agreement with the goblin village, Carrion, the demon lord of the Beast Kingdom of Yurasania, decided to send his three beast warriors to test Milim and the strange slime's attitude. The one who accepted this order was one of the three beast warriors, Black Panther Fang Phoebe.

　Queen Frey of the Sky Kingdom of Folbrogia seemed to have some urgent business to attend to. After saying goodbye, she left, while Clayman continued to carry out his plan, secretly keeping a close eye on everything.

　Although the Jura Forest was being eyed by various forces, this did not affect the young girl's mindset at all. The young girl still only had three things to do every day: eat, sleep, and play. However, few people dared to risk their lives to accompany the young girl when it came to playing. Apart from Arashi and Milim, Benimaru and the others could only end up being beaten like moles. Although it could train their ability to withstand blows, they did not want to participate.

　"Xiao Guang, look! Cut this tenderloin into small pieces, then skewer it with a mixture of green peppers and onions, and sprinkle some seasoning on top. Look, this is the Demon Man's Special Forest-Style Grilled Skewers!"

　The little girl chewed on the skewers she had just taken off the grill. The tender and juicy bloodhorn beef, paired with fresh green peppers and onions, along with just the right amount of seasoning and sea salt, made for a dish that, while not fancy, was exceptionally delicious. She stuffed her cheeks full with each skewer. On the grill next to her, large pieces of bloodhorn beef ribs were oozing oil. Zhu Cai had made several cuts on the ribs to help them absorb the flavors better. Through the smooth cut of the ribs, you could clearly see that the meat inside was still undercooked, showing a pinkish tinge.

　Upon entering the Jura Forest, Phoebe quickly found the location of the goblin city. Looking at the clean, flat ground and exquisite buildings, Phoebe couldn't help but want to bring the town under Carrion's control. At this time, Rimuru was chatting with Kurobei and Kegin in the forge. Some time ago, Kegin combined Orichalcos and Mithril to enhance the little girl's Berserker Giant. Looking at the brand-new Berserker Giant, Milim was extremely envious. So, under Milim's persistent pestering, Rimuru had no choice but to agree to forge a weapon for Milim as well.

　The Jura Forest Allied Nation doesn't restrict monsters from entering, so Phoebe was able to enter the goblin city smoothly. While surveying his surroundings, he boasted that he would bring the city under the Beast King's control. Gobuzang had already gone to find Rigurd, while Phoebe eventually found Shuna, who seemed to be in charge. Shuna asked him what he wanted, and Phoebe arrogantly kicked over the barbecue grill, declaring that Shuna was unworthy to speak to him and demanding that the city's master come to see him. Then he saw a young girl dressed in a sailor uniform.

　"Where did this little guy come from? It's a lizardman. You want to call out that slime here right now?"

　"Ow~"

　"Paji!"

　Phoebe crashed through the wall like a dead dog, then lay on the ground, his body severed at the waist. A huge gash was torn open in his chest by the monstrous beast, revealing his beating heart and the warm blood gushing out. The other two messengers stared at the little girl in shock. Phoebe was one of the strongest warriors in the Beast King Knights under the Lion Demon King Carrion. They quickly reacted and rushed forward to protect Phoebe. The little girl didn't let them off the hook either, after all, they dared to rush up.

　"Paji!"

　"Paji!"
