Chapter 165: My harem life
While Shizu woke up faster than they had thought, it was all good.
"Congratulations, Shizu-san, you will be alright from now on! I have also taken out the Ifrit on your body."
Rimuru was excited when he saw that Shizu was okay. Whether it was Tamazuki or Shizu, they were coming from the same world as him. He felt a comradeship... no, he felt that they were like his family as they were the only ones that he could trust, considering they were also coming from another world.
"Oh? Really?"
Still, Shizu was surprised as she listened to Rimuru's explanation. The great thing was that Ifrit was taken out of her body, yet another one was...
"...I am alright?"
"Yes." Rimuru nodded with a bright smile. "Tamazuki has told me that you are alright."
Shizu glanced at Tamazuki, who kept his mouth shut, but she only lightly smiled. "I see... that's great."
"Right?"
"By the way, you should rest now."
Tamazuki interjected.
Shizu had just gone berserk, and even if he had made her body younger, it didn't mean that she was okay.
"Oh, right! Should I bring food?" Rimuru looked at Tamazuki.
"No, let her rest for a while until dinner, Uncle?"
"Okay." Rimuru nodded. "By the way, did you also learn the knowledge of medicine and doctor?"
"I learned it."
"...."
Rimuru thought that his [Great Sage] and [Predator] were good, but it seemed there had always been a bigger mountain outside.
With that said, Tamazuki helped Shizu to take a rest. Even after her confession and knowing her situation, his expression didn't change. He didn't treat her with special care like she was the most fragile thing or look at her with pity. Instead, he just saw her like how he saw other people.
Still, knowing that Shizu was okay, Rimuru decided to take care of the village as it was just being burnt by Ifrit. Fortunately, they didn't lack money now, and Tamazuki also brought many things that could be used to develop their villages.
"By the way, Uncle, is it me, or has the numbers of the population increased?"
"Yes, there are 5,000 of them!"
"...did you name all of them?"
"Of course!" Rimuru nodded while puffing his chest proudly.
"...." Tamazuki.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's okay. I will introduce myself later."
"Okay! I will tell everyone about you too."
While Tamazuki often left this village, without a doubt, the creator of this village was the two of them.
Rimuru also thought about Tamazuki's strength, and having him as a thug was also good, but more importantly, as his god of wealth, he wanted everyone to treat him with the greatest respect.
Nevertheless, monsters are races that are strict with their hierarchy.
The strong get everything, and the weeks can only be eaten.
That is the law of this forest.
Rimuru said goodbye, and Tamazuki also thought to leave, but his hand was held by Shizu.
"...can you stay with me?" Shizu asked with a weak voice.
"Yes."
Neither of them said anything again, and he just watched her, who had fallen asleep, showing she was forcing herself to wake up before.
Still, Rimuru, who had just left, thought about Shizu's confession before and wondered what Tamazuki was going to do. Yet even if he was curious, he needed to handle the village first.
In the past few days, everything was peaceful.
Shizu's condition also had been stabilized, but she still needed to rest.
Ellen and the few goblinas helped Shizu.
In those times, he also met the leaders of the villages and several dwarfs that were in charge of building the village.
When they met, he showed his hybrid form, causing them to shudder in fear yet also mesmerized by him.
"What's wrong, Uncle?"
Still, Tamazuki looked at Rimuru, who was sulking.
"Hmph!" Rimuru pouted while looking away, feeling quite depressed as he realized that this guy was a traitor!
They might be monsters, but why was this guy so handsome?
Damn, handsome guy!
Burn!
What could Tamazuki do?
Nothing.
Anyway, Tamazuki could only watch an uncle who reincarnated into a slime sulk helplessly. Nevertheless, he knew that Rimuru wasn't serious and just joked around.
"Don't worry, Uncle. You will become a handsome guy in the future."
"Huh? Really?" Rimuru was surprised.
"Yeah, leave it to me." Tamazuki patted his chest, trying to reassure him. "Not only will you become a handsome guy, but you can also taste delicious food and change your gender into a woman."
"...leaving the changing gender aside, I am interested in tasting the food."
As a slime, Rimuru didn't eat, but it wasn't like he couldn't eat. Instead, he felt that it was meaningless, especially when he couldn't taste anything since he didn't have tastebuds, so Tamazuki's promise made him interested. "But what are you going to do?"
"Not sure, but I will travel around the world for a while, but you don't need to worry; I will help you with the development of the village or the money."
"...don't forget to come back, okay?" Rimuru reminded Tamazuki since he had to say it felt lonely without Tamazuki.
"Don't worry, Uncle." Tamazuki patted Rimuru's squishy top part and thought that he had to do something with Rimuru's body. He thought of making something similar to homunculus since he knew that such a thing existed in this world. However, he could do that later as he wasn't in a hurry.
Nevertheless, the days for Kaval, Gido, and Ellen to leave were near. Before they left, Rimuru gave them a reward, which was full Rare Grade equipment.
In this world, equipment was graded from Normal Grade, Rare Grade, Unique Grade, Legend Grade, and God Grade.
As for his sword, it was a Unique Grade.
As for Ser-Veresta, it was a Legend Grade. As for why it didn't reach the God Grade, it was because the material of the weapon wasn't good enough. If he wanted to make this weapon stronger, he had to take out the core and change the material for the holder of the core.
However, he could think about this matter later.
Shizu walked out of her tent and looked at Kaval, Gido, and Ellen. Her body was okay, and even if she was slightly weakened as she didn't have Ifrit on her body, she was still powerful as she owned a Unique Skill.
As for what her Unique Skill was, he would explain it later.
"Are you not going back with us, Shizu-san?" Ellen asked sadly. After they were on an adventure, she had always thought of Shizu as her older sister, so she was sad when she thought that she would part away.
"Yes, I will stay here."
The three of them knew about Shizu's decision, and it was impossible to change, so what they could do was...
"Rimuru-san, please take care of her!" 3x
The three of them bowed their heads at Rimuru.
"Yes, leave it to me." Rimuru nodded.
Hearing that, they felt relief, but then they looked at Tamazuki.
"Inugami, come on."
"Yeah, let's start our adventure again!"
"Let's go!"
However...
"Sorry, I will stay here too."
"...what?" 3x
This time, they couldn't stay calm any longer.
"Why?"
"Do you hate us?"
"Is it because of Kaval's bad breathing and Gido's snoring?"
"OI!" 2x
"No, it's just that I don't plan to join you in the beginning. We have stayed for quite a while, and it is time for us to part away. I'm sorry. I have something that I want to do, and our path will have to part from here, but of course, we will meet each other again."
"....." 3x
Gido and Kaval were helpless, but they could tell that Tamazuki wanted to do something different.
However, Ellen couldn't accept it so easily. "...you will really go?"
"Yes."
Tamazuki was decisive, and he decided to leave Kaval's party. Ellen might be a wonderful girl, but he had something that he needed to achieve in this place, so they had to part away.
Still, to the surprise of everyone, he was kissed.
Ellen pulled him and kissed his lips in front of everyone.
"..." Everyone.
Everyone forgot to breathe, and their pupils enlarged because of the surprise.
However, Tamazuki and Ellen ignored all of them, pressing each other's lips until their lips parted as they stared at each other.
"...Ellen."
"It's okay. I won't bind you, but remember..."
Her cold, soft hand touched his cheek, then lightly caressed.
"It's impossible for you to run away after you have stolen my girlhood, okay?"
"..."
Was this the eyes of a girl in love?
Why had this girl's eyes become so scary?
Suddenly, Tamazuki realized this girl was more dangerous than he had thought.
"Shizu-san, please take care of him, okay?" Ellen asked with a gentle smile.
"...ah, um..." Shizu answered quietly, meekly, while lowering her head with a noticeable blush on her cheeks.
"..."
What did those words mean?
Yet, for one thing, Rimuru thought that Tamazuki's harem life was about to start.
