Becoming Acquainted with the Final Villain

After sending off my Body Doubles to the other Labyrinths, I made my way back to Yue. I didn't want to lie to her when she finally awoke from her evolutionary slumber, so I was going to straight-up tell her about my harem and plans for the world.

After arriving in the sleeping area, I saw her laying down, covered in a sheet. Se looked extremely peaceful and she even had a small smile on her face as I moved some of her hair from her face to see it better.

'Damn Universe! Why do you gotta make me feel guilty right now!' I thought before I decided to sleep for the night. All of my other bodies were getting ready to sleep as well, so I thought I should too.

I laid down next to the legal loli vampire and close my eyes. 'When was the last time I slept like this, with no sex or anything, just a relaxing nght. I should do this more often.' I thought.

...

Three hours later, I still hadn't fallen asleep.

Turns out, I had trained my main body to f*cu itself into exhaustion and now, I couldn't fall asleep because I was too horny.

'Rob damn my libido!'

...

...

...

The next morning, I was awoken by the sounds of Yue's suckling on my blood while sitting naked on top of me. After seeing that my eyes had opened, Yue stopped sucking y blood and looked over at me with clear lust in her eyes.

"Good Morning, Rimuru-sama." She said softly while hugging me.

"Good morning, Yue." I said while getting up.

"I'll make some breakfast. Want some?" I ask while using [Azura Mazda] to cheat at life.

Turns out, I can create anything, including an infinite stack of super fluffy pancakes. And unlike with [Hephestus], I can even make them warm and fresh. Food I made previously had always tasted rather stale due to the fact that [Hephestus] couldn't create things above room temperature, meaning Ice-Cream would be melted, Pizza would be cold, and hot chocolate would taste like chocolate water. Not even chocolate milk, since room temperature milk is a sin against nature.

"I've already had my fill," Yue said pointing to my neck.

"That's fine then," I said creating a small mountain of bacon and eggs.

'I may not have lived there in over 12 years, but I'm still 'Merican!' I thought as I dug in. Every now and again, Yue would snag a strip of bacon and nibble on it like a hamster or some other cute creature.

After breakfast, we took a bath and I sat Yue down on the bed and we had a talk. She was a little disappointed with the fact I had a harem but she never disapproved or wanted to rescind her vow of service, even after I gave her an out. She also decided that I could use multiple secretaries after I told her about Shion's self-appointed position.

Apparently, royalty had many secretaries, according to miss-'I used to be a Queen so I know' over here.

When we finally left, I had crested Yue and had her attempt the creation magic ritual too. Unfortunately, she couldn't get it, so I copied the magic circle and then sealed the last 100 floors of the Labyrinth with Atlas and placed a gargantuan mountain of gold, precious gems, and even a Divine Class Sword at the bottom of the 100th floor as a reward for anyone who clears it in a sealed room that no monster could ever enter.

We left the dungeon through the intended exit and I was immediately kiss-tackled by a white-haired, blue eyes rabbit-girl, much to the visible shock of Yue.

"You've finally come! The one who will save us!" She said as she hugged me tightly.

"Worthless, rabbit. Let go of Rimuru-sama." Yue said with a little bit of irritation in her otherwise gentle voice.

"I can't do that! If I do, then the chance Rimuru-sama leaves me increases!" She said while hugging me tighter.

"Alright. I'll help you, please let me get up though. The dirty ground isn't a place that one such as me should be laying." I say, realizing that I may be becoming more arrogant as time goes on.

The rabbit woman lets me go and fake laughs to herself while scratching her cheek. "Sorry. I was just so excited to meet you. I've been waiting for days now."

'Oh yeah. She did have some sort of clairvoyance ability in the original, but since [Clairvoyance] is an intrinsic skill that a few people have, though shouldn't [Aegis] have a counter for it?' I think to myself.

[Notice! Individual Shea Haulia possesses the Unique Skill [Oracle]]

'Oh, I see. Wait if she can see the future, why didn't she come right when we would appear rather than wait for us?'

[It is likely that, despite possessing a Unique Skill, Individual Shea Haulia does not have the required amount of magicules to properly use it].

"Alright then. You there, rabbit girl"

"Me?"

"What's your name?"

Shea visibly brightens before standing and doing a pose. "My name is Shea! Shea Haulia!"

"Shea? So you have been named?" Yue asks.

"No, I think Beastmen count as Demi-humans, so they can name themselves without magicule loss like monsters," I say while explaining to Yue.

"But all vampires have names and we still gain power from it."

"I think that is simply tradition, since Vampires on average, are much stronger than normal demi-humans."

"I see," Yue says as she ponders to herself.

"Ummm. Could you please not ignore me...?" Shea asks while drawing our attention back to her.

"Ah yes. Take me to your tribe. I shall help you out." I say as she leads us through the ravine.

Shea explains how the Haulia tribe was originally from the Mesmede countryside but they left after Shea was found to have a Unique Skill. Beastmen with Unique Skills are very rare if they have them from birth and they are typically very powerful people who bring ruin to the lands they inhabit, so when Shea awakened her skill, the other Beastmen were terrified of her and due to their isolated and superstitious ways, they drove out her tribe.

Originally, they were going to the capital of Mismede, but they were intercepted and attacked by a black dragon. Many died, but the dragon eventually was taken away by an older red dragon. Taking this as a sign, the Haulian Tribe crossed the inland sea and made their way into Torus before Shea had a vision of me.

I acknowledged her plight and sympathized with their people. The Heteromorphs in Yggdrasil were the same. Discriminated against them because they were superior in terms of stats but also looked ugly and inhuman, so they were driven out of all but the worst servers to play on like Hellhiem.

Feeling a slight pang in my heart, I took the gentle rabbitmen back to Tempestin a {Gate} and had Shuna teach them all about service. I was going to have them work as bunny servants in the hot springs.

The rabbitmen were extremely gentle, just like the original, but unlike Hajime who would have toughened them up before kicking them to the curb, I decided to use their gentle disposition to service customers and help them relax. I left soon after, but needless to say, the hot springs were even more well-received now than they were before.

After collecting Shizue, Asagi, and keeping Yue along with me for the heck of it, we all rode together on Ranga towards the nation of Ingrassia. The plan was for Yue to hide in my shadow with Ranga using [Shadow Step], which is an Intrinsic Skill of all Vampires, and have her wear an Anti-magic ring when inside. I would meet with Yuuki Kagurazaka along with Shizue while Asagi and Yue would be our 'guards'.

It was a total nightmare explaining to Shizue that we couldn't let Yuki have any of the information about my skills. I tried to convince her that, even though he was her student, he still had a job to protect the human world and would disapprove of my methods at worst, or still write a report about it to the Western Council at best, which would cause them to be hostile towards us.

I couldn't tell her that her student was evil and trying to kill us. Not only would she think I was either joking or not believe me. It may cause our relationship to deteriorate and make her unwilling to have Class S transferred. I needed those kids, since having 5 potential heroes growing up outside my borders to be slaves of the other states would definitely cause trouble.

After meeting with the demon lor- I mean, Yuuki's secretary, we were escorted upstairs to the Guild Master's quarters.

"Whoah!! Yuuki-kun's office is so big!" Shizue said as she looked around.

"You've never been here before?" Yue asked.

"No, I retired from adventuring before he got this position. He would meet me regularly so I never had a reason to visit him while he was busy." She said, looking under his desk for some reason.

Just before I could say anything, Yuuki himself opened the doorway and walked in. "Shizue-sensei! It's so good to see yo- why are you under my desk?" He said confusingly.

Shizue flushed immediately and stood up from her position and coughed to clear her throat. "Nice to see you again, Yuuki-kun. I came here to introduce a friend to you." She said as she walked beside me and gestured.

I reached out my hand to shake his and introduced myself. "Good morning, Kagurazaka-san. I am Rimuru Tempest, overseer of the Jura Forest in Veldora's absence." I said. I had masked my presence to be just above the standard Special A tier that most Majin are required to be in before asserting themselves as Demon Lords. It gave Yuuki a sense that I was probably named by Veldoa, given my last name and power.

"It is nice to meet you, Rumuru-san"

"I brought Rimuru-san here today because he wanted to bring Class S with him to deal with their life-span problem," Shizue said.

"Truly!?! You can save them!?!" Yuuki said, acting genuinely surprised and hopeful. It was at this moment, I marked Yuuki as being a greater immediate threat than even Guy Crimson. He was seriously too good of an actor and when I scanned him during our handshake, I was completely blocked from doing so. Probably by [Manas: Velda], but this was the first time my Analysis had failed.

'My analysis is completely undetectable, even using [Universal Detect] and watching my Body Doubles do it, I couldn't sense it, but somehow, this guy can block it passively.' I think while also having a smile on my face.

"Yes, I can. I had figured it out earlier. Unfortunately, I can't tell you right now, because I don't want others to know and start summoning children to indoctrinate and enslave." I say while giving a reasonable explanation that he can't refute.

We both know that, officially, he would have to write a report about it, and that such valuable information would be sought after by other powers. Even me admitting to knowing how to solve the problem would put a target on my back, so he knew he couldn't press the issue anymore, and with Shizue's reputation and his current fake personality's goals, he is forced to acquiesce to my demand.

'I'm not sure yet, since I have come off as sincere and very friendly and without any visible signs of lying, but I think he and [Manas: Velda] have probably marked me for kidnapping or interrogation/mind-control in the future because he can summon children soldiers using my method' I though while we made small talk.

Little did she know it, but Shizue had inadvertently started a cold-war between all Human Nations, led by Yuuki in the shadows, and the Monster Country of Tempest.

...

...

...

It took a few hours of negotiations, but we were finally able to get Yuuki to relent on letting the children go with us on a journey to fix their rampaging magicule problem. While Shizue left with Asagi to go and collect the children, I printed tons of Mana and even gave Yuuki a working smartphone with infinite battery and a collection of thousands of anime to watch. I even included a few hentai in a secret folder.

[Athena] was constantly patched into it and it was always recording audio, so I would be able to listen in and record all of his messages to use as a case against him to Shizue later, but for now, he simply bowed in reverence to my glory while calling me 'shisho!'

When the meeting finally, ended, Yue and I went on a mini-date around the city. We were ignoring the spies from Yuuki, who were on-par with Akatsuki in terms of stealth. To be honest, I didn't even detect them until halfway through the date and lost them a number of times before picking them back up again, which was impressive since I literally have the pan-ultimate detection skill.

We picked up Shizue, Asagi, and Class S around an hour later and hung out for the rest of the day with them.

I taught Chloe a few tier-magic spells using a Grimoire that I then gave to her, which she loved. I bought Alice Rondo a HUGE Stuffed Rabbit which she used her powers to ride like a horse. I made Kenya a new Magisteel Metal Sword with runes to allow it to shoot fire. Gale got a few comic books as well as a pitcher of bottomless tea (A/N: The anime implies Gale is from a western country, so I made him British) while Ryota got a magical book containing thousands of manga.

Needless to say, the children adored me. After giving the children the time of their lives, we all stayed at the fanciest hotel in the city. Shizue had once saved the owner when he was a small boy, so he naturally cleared out the penthouse suite for us to stay in. It was nice but the Waterfall Palace was better.

During the middle of the night, one of my Body Doubles succeeded in finding Ramiris' Labyrinth, so I took everyone out of the city and summoned Fluer, Ranga, Fenrir, and Tenebris. I had them guard the children while we went through a {Gate} and traveled halfway across the world in an instant.

"""Whoah!""" the kids all awed while looking around at the massive trees and emasculate wood and stone door to the Dwelling of the Spirits.

"This place is..." Shizue started.

"The dwelling of the spirits. There are a few things we need to do here." I say before pushing open the doors.

"Heya Rimuru-sama!" Chloe ran up to me and grabbed my cloak.

"Yes, Chloe-chan?"

'What are we doing here?"

"I'm going to save you lot," I said while patting her head. She blushed heavily while Shizue and Yue pouted while Asagi simply covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled to herself.

"Hey-a! How are you going to do that?" Kenya asked with his arms behind his head, looking relaxed.

"Well, the first step is to make a deal with a demon lord!" I said with a big smile on my face.

"""..."""

"""HA!?!"""
