Location: Tempest

I let out a deep sigh as I simply stared at ever-increasing pile of paperwork in front of me. At this point it might just be indefinite. Every time I would finish the paperwork that I was assigned, new ones would be delivered straight to my desk.

I was just finishing up my last couple of papers and it was already deep into the night. Not that I needed sleep but it was still tiring somehow, to stare out the window and realize it's night time.

'I wish I could do something rather than just sitting here and doing paperwork.' I thought spinning the pen I was holding in my hand. 'Things have been pretty dull around here ever since I defeated Yuuki. Even Guy doesn't approach me at this point. Not that I'm complaining.' I shrugged and just turned back to the papers

Suddenly, in the quiet of the room, there was a sudden voice inside of my head:

<Master, I will now begin searching for anomalies in the Dimensional Rift, I believe you may find the entertainment that you desire there.> Ciel stated in a prideful voice as if she was showing off her capabilities.

'Huh, I wish I could Ciel, but I can't bring myself to leave behind my subordinates. I am aware that they are very formidable and can deal with problems by themselves but what if something bad were to happen, like, for example, Guy showed up with a declaration of war and I wasn't here to defend this place.'

<The probability of such a thing happening is extremely low.> Ciel stated in a stern voice. <All the other Demon Lords know what will happen if the decide to provoke your wrath.>

'Wait a minute, Ciel, I just realized, you're being fairly persistent about this. Is it possible that you are the one that wants to go and do something entertaining.' I chuckled.

<I-> Ciel stuttered. <No, it is just your imagination.>

'Wow, you really do keep going with that, don't you?' I thought as I turned back to my papers and continued to sign then.

'Being the Demon King really is hard work. If I knew this was going to happen, I probably wouldn't have gone through the trouble.' I thought as I stared off into the distance. "Ah, well, what's done is done, I won't regret anything if it's to save my friends." I said as I finished signing my last paper.

As if on queue, I heard a knock at my door.

"Rimuru-sama, I'm here to deliver the new paperwork that we just received."

I let out a long sigh as I got up and opened the door.

"Sure. Thank you, Shuna." I said giving her a warm smile as I took the papers.

She simply returned the smile, bowed, and left the room.

'You know, maybe that going into another dimension thing isn't that bad of an idea...' I gave it a quick thought while scratching my chin.

"Hey, Ciel-sensei, is there anyway to keep my subordinates and Tempest safe without expending too many magicules.'

<Master can use Skill: Multiple Parallel Existence to create a copy of themself. This double will share its own consciousness and will be able to deal with any problems that occur.>

'Hm, alright then, let's give it a shot.' I said as I raised my hand and then chanted, 

Suddenly, a bunch of black smoke appeared and after it cleared, there standing in the middle of the smoke, stood a perfect copy of myself
