Hi guys! It's been a while, right First of all, don't worry, the chapter is about to start!
I just wanted to explain that from now on posts will take longer to be posted.
I currently work 10 hours a day in a hospital, so it's hard for me to find time to write.
But don't worry, I won't abandon the story! I just ask you to be patient, I'll be doing my best!

"Daddy, Daddy! Let me play with Gobuta! When he's the others hunt, he looks so cool!"
"Luna! I already told you no. It's too dangerous for you."
"But, Daddy..."
"Haa... Luna, Gobuta and the others can defend themselves and you haven't demonstrated any ability or magic that can defend you. So, until you prove to me that you can defend yourself, the answer is still no."
Finishing the sermon, he goes to Luna and pats her head.
This had become a little quirk of Rimuru's, as whenever he did this, her unconscious tail would move happily.
And he found it adorable.
Soon, Luna sits on her little bed, angry that she can't go play with her new friends.
—**—**—**—
Inside Luna's mind, as if there is a separate space, the persona we know is freaking out...again.
YOU ARE CRAZY?! GOBUTA AND HIS GANG GO INTO THAT FOREST AND YOU WANT TO GO AFTER THEM?!
DO YOU WANT TO DIE?! OR BETTER, KILL ME!
Ah... I don't know whether to thank Rimuru for becoming super protective or worry about my future.
The worst thing is that this body doesn't seem to obey me, I just can't control it, and this child is very stupid and doesn't seem to listen to me.
I hope my body… no, our body jumps through time again.
I can't bear the shame of being a small child again.
In fact, I can't say if I have what can be called shame anymore, since life in that crib, I can't identify it anymore.
Frustration is the most constant feeling...
"Luna! Come out here, I have a surprise!"
Seriously, this guy can't let go of me for 5 minutes?
"I'm coming, Daddy!"
Upon exiting the tent, the first thing one could find is Rimuro standing in his humanoid form, with Ranga beside him.
"Ranga!" She says, running up to him and hugging him like he's her adorable pet.
With the same wagging its tail as if it were a propeller.
Clearing her throat inwardly, Luna admits that Ranga's fur is very soft and warm, and finally understands why Rimuru sleeps on it during the course of the work.
"Luna, since you can't play with Gobuta and his friends, I decided to leave you with Ranga for the whole day!"
"SERIOUSLY?! I LOVED IT!"
"It would be a pleasure to entertain the little miss!"
—**—**—**—
Rimuro looks at the scene and can't say his daughter wasn't adorable.
At first, it was difficult for him to consider himself a father, he thought about raising the baby as an uncle or handing it over to someone who could take care of it properly.
But he saw that there was no way around it, the little girl wouldn't let go of him and called him father loud and clear.
In a short time the villagealready considered her as its adopted daughter, there was no way to refuse at that point.
And also something intrigued him, the great sage could not find what his race was. So it would be nice to screen nearby to continue searching.
In the end, Rimuro became attached to her more than he had realized.
Giving a resigned sigh, Rimuru turns his attention to the scene, going to Ranga's side, as little Luna was already on his back.
"Luna, I'm leaving the village for a few hours, so anything you need go to Rigurd. Okay?"
"OK!"
Will he leave? Hmm... this is strangely familiar, his clothes are not strange to me either...
He hasn't left my side since I came to the village... I think I'm forgetting something...

OH MY GOD THE OGRES! HOW DID I FORGET THAT!
HE WILL MEET THE OG- wait, shouldn't this have happened on his first day in human form...?
Did I cause a butterfly effect...? Rimuru can't miss them, their meeting makes the future happen
Without them Rimuru will never be the strongest character!
NO, THAT CAN'T HAPPEN! MY FUTURE AND SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON THIS GUY NOW!
Okay, I need to calm down and come up with a plan...
Apparently this event is going to happen today, who was there?
Rimuro, gobuta and friends, and... RANGA!
IT WAS THE ONE WHO CALLED RIMURO WITH TELEPATHY TO SAVE GOBUTA AND THE OTHERS!
THIS BRAT IS GOING TO RUIN THE PLOT!
I NEED TO DO SOMETHING RAPI- Why are we in a forest...?
"Hehe, he'll never find me here, hehe"

Is she playing hide and seek...?
An-and went to the forest to hide...?
...
RETURN MY BODY NOW, YOU CRAZY!
IS YOUR GOAL REALLY TO KILL US?! IF NOT, IT LOOKS A LOT!
IF YOU'RE GOING TO ENTER THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREST AS A SUICIDE, AT LEAST GO FIND THAT BUNCH OF HOBGOBLINS!
"Hum...? Look for the hobgoblins...? Who said that? I heard wrong?
"Did you hear me?! Finally! Hey, go do that now! The plot needs to go back to the rails!
"I think I heard wrong, but it's not a bad idea! If I find him, we can all play together!"
"Good thing I marked the smell of the gobuta, hehe, he always loses in the hide and seek because of it"
Luna, lifts her little nose and starts sniffing the air around her.
This really surprised our protagonist, initially, the five senses of this small body, were worryingly sharp, being able to find anyone in the village, without much effort.
Scaring Rimuro countless times, with his sudden appearance.
"I found it! You can't hide from me!"
At impressive speed for a 3 year old, just muttering what only she could hear.
"Strange, there's another smell that makes me a little sleepy..."
WE'RE LATE! RUN CHILD!
