Chapter 4 - The Destroyer

It's been a while since I killed the 'Orc Disaster' Geld. I took all the other Orc as my subordinate, so other races didn't dare to bully them. I think they also know this that's why they all are working very hard. Many other races started to come for my protection. I didn't want to do the bothersome job, like protecting the whole Jura Forest but I think it's my responsibility. That's is the only reason why I accepted all the races in my town without any complaints.

I was seating peacefully in my office chair and sipping tea while doing some paperwork. When I feel an enormous amount of magicule heading towards Tempest. It was at the sidelines of the Tempest.

I used my skill «Shadow Moments» and appeared in the position where the thing is about to land.

Boom!!

And with a large blast, that thing landed in front of me. Smoke filled my whole view, when the smoke cleared I saw a girl a little bigger than me in height with blue eyes that were shining with power and holding an innocence of a little child. Platinum pink hair with a grin on her face.

The source of magicules.

"Whahaha, I'm Demon Lord Milim Nava. I came here to say Hello"

She said with a grin while laughing loudly. She reminds me of Veldora.

So she is a Demon Lord. She looked a little childish! That doesn't matter because she is a threat. Great Sage how big the difference between us is.

<>

She is not even serious and she is ten times stronger than me. I didn't want to imagine what will happen when she was fighting someone seriously.

I send a message to others through «Thought Communication» so they don't disturb us and not get caught in a backfire even if we have to fight.

"I'm Rimuru Tempest the slime and the Leader of this city."

I said in my usual cold tone but she didn't even flinch. That was expected of a Demon Lord. If she is this powerful then what about the Demon Lord Leon.

"Whahaha, I challenge you for a match."

She said while laughing. She is too excited about fighting with me.

"I decline. You are clearly ten times stronger than me and you are not even serious. I didn't want to fight with you."

I said to her honestly, to be honest, she has the same air as Veldora but much denser.

I have a bad feeling about fighting with her that's why I decided to leave.

"Wait." She shouted and I turn around to look at her.

"What?" I asked her with a frown. What did she want from me now? I have already declined her request.

"This is not fair, not fair, not fair you all are having fun except me noda." She whined childishly.

"Are you bored?"

I asked her what I was thinking and seeing her expression I hit the jackpot.

"Well, then why don't we become friends. No not only friends but Bestie."

I said to her with a smile. Well, I have to control her somehow so she didn't wreak havoc in my town.

"Humph. Why would I?"

She said arrogantly. I expect that much from her, seeing her personality I already have a backup plan.

"First, eat this." I said to her as I gave her a jar of Apito honey.

"Delicious!! What in the hell is this delicious thing." She asked with stars in her eyes.

"I will give you more if you listen to me and don't cause trouble for me in my city." I said to her as she nodded.

"Let's introduce you to others." I said to her as we moved into the city.

I send a message to Rigurd

'Tell everyone to gather at the center of the city in five minutes.'

"Because we are now friends I will permit you to call me Milim but only you."

Milim said with a smile. She is a Demon Lord this much arrogance I think is given. She has the power to back up her arrogance after all.

"You can call me Rimuru." I replied to her.

"So let's go to the city everyone is waiting for us," I said to her as she nodded.

"Woah. Your city is very nice"

Milim said as she is watching the city while going towards the center plaza.

"It takes a lot to make this city,"

I said to her as I pointed towards the Orcs who are working hard day and night.

"Everyone seems happy"

Milim muttered under her breath, I heard her but I choose to ignore her.

When I reach the center plaza most of the people were already present there waiting for me and Milim.

"Hello everyone I want to introduce you to a guest,"

I said to them as they all looked at me with excitement. Why are they excited, that doesn't matter I signal Milim to introduce herself who is currently eating honey.

"Hello, My name is Milim Nava. The destroyer and I'm the best friends of your master Rimuru. So in near future, you can count on me"

She said as all the people cheered. I can hear them murmur something like.

"The destroyer is the best friend of our lord"

"As expected of our lord"

"Rimuru-Sama is great"

I ignored all of them and lead Milim into my office. Because I didn't want some fools to make her angry.

When I reach the office I asked Shuna to prepare some desserts for Milim and a cup of hot chocolate for me. When Shuna bring the items that I asked for, I dismissed all the other people with Shuna because I want some privacy.

"So Milim I want to know more about you,"

I said to her as I drink my hot chocolate. She looked at me confused.

"Sigh. I will be honest with you, all of my subordinates said to me that I'm not very good at socializing"

I bluntly said to her with a straight face.

"Hahaha, I can see clearly why they told you," She said while laughing.

"While coming here I saw all the people are working very hard but none of them looked bothered nor angry. They are working very diligently with a smile. Seeing them I can guess that you are not a bad leader nor a bad person" She said to me while eating cake.

She looked like a kid and also a little childish but in the end, she is a Demon Lord. I think she is not a Demon Lord for nothing.

"You are just like Leon. Don't know how to talk with people" She said as she eat more cakes.

Leon after hearing Shizue's story and analyzing the facts of the story I already guessed that much.

But even so, I will give him a piece of my mind and a punch when I meet him.

"And you are just like that old Dragon. Childish"

I replied to her with a cold voice. She looked surprised for a moment after hearing what I said.

"You know Veldora!!"

She asked surprised. Hmm is Veldora that famous? From the reaction of the townspeople, I can guess that Milim is extremely famous among both Humans and Monsters but I didn't expect Veldora to be that famous.

"Yes, he is the first friend that I made in this world" I replied to her casually.

"Did you know where is he now?" Milim asked a little cautious.

"Yeah. He is inside me I'm trying to break his seal" I said to her.

"What!!"

Hey, why are you surprised. Where is your dignity and pride as a Demon Lord?

"Tell me, tell me all about it,"

She asked me excitedly. And for some reason, I told her my whole life story. I don't know but I feel safe around her like I can tell her all my secrets. It may be because I didn't have any other friend except her... I didn't want to lose her.

"Ohh. That's why I can't feel his presence" She said to me while nodding her head.

"Don't tell anyone. This is our little secret"

I said to her while putting one of my fingers on my lips.

"Ok," She said with a smile.

"So why don't you tell me something about you," I said to her with a grin.

And for the first time in my whole life, I talk with someone that much. We talk with each other for hours. While talking Milim was laughing and smiling, joking with me. But on the other hand, I was just listening to her talking, I was also laughing at her jokes or feeling sorry for the people who get in her way and now became jokes.

"I'm glad that she is not my enemy," I thought while listening to her talking.

"Hey, Rimuru it's time for dinner,"

Milim said as she run out of my office towards the dining hall.

"She is more than 2000 years old but her actions are too childish"

I murmured to myself as I also started to walk towards the dining hall.
