Demon Slime | Demon Slayer x Rimuru

Chapter 3: Peace

(Edited)

(Rimuru's POV)

'It has been a month since I first came to this world.'

During my time in this world, so little has been accomplished but I like I've witnessed an endless series of events.

'This world certainly is interesting.' You thought while gazing out off into the distance. 'I hope everyone's alright back in Tempest... I wish I had a way to communicate with them, but with my current power, that's not possible.'

I took a long and deep sigh.

'I really wish I could go home.'

Flashback

"Alright, Rimuru, I would like to introduce you to my family." The burgundy haired boy said while motioning me to introduce myself to his family.

"Hello, everyone. My name's Rimuru. Rimuru Tempest. I appreciate your hospitality." I said while giving a small bow while staring at Tanjiro's family right in front of me.

"No, no, no, lift your head, it's fine. We're just happy that we could help." Said a woman with purple eyes and long black hair. "My name's Kie. It's nice to meet you, Rimuru." She said with her aura screaming motherly.

I gave her a warm smile then turned to face the rest of the family.

"Hello! My name's Takeo. I hope we can get along." Said a young boy with black hair and red eyes.

"Nice to meet you Takeo." I said. "I hope that we can get along as well."

"H-Hello, my name's Hanako. N-nice to meet you." Said a young girl with short black hair and wine colored eyes.

"Hanako." I said to myself. "That's a pretty name."

I noticed once I said this she seemed to become more comfortable and smiled at me.

"My name's Shigeru, and his name is Rokuta." Said a boy with very short hair while pulling the person that I now know as Rokuta into a hug."

"Nice to meet you both!" I said with enthusiasm as I gave them a close-eyed smile.

They simply returned the smile and started whispering to each other.

Lastly, was a young girl around the same height as me with long black hair, tied into a bun with soft pink eyes.

"My name's Nezuko. I hope that we can be friends." The girl said giving me a warm smile.

"Likewise." I said returning the smile.

"Alright then," Kie said while clapping her hands together. "Now, let's get you situated with some new clothes and a meal." She said while motioning for me to follow her out of the room.

"Thank you. Please take care of me." I said as I, once again, gave them a respectful bow.

FLASHBACK END

(Rimuru POV)

Peaceful.

That's what my life has been like for the past month.

Everyday, I would wake up in the morning having no clue what I expect to happen.

I was so used to having to deal with several problems ranging from other Demon Lords, to subordinates, to running a nation, etc. That living such a peaceful life like this one feels...

Wrong.

Back in Tempest, I would always be busy. Whether it's paperwork or having to settle a dispute. Overtime, I learned to trust my subordinates with those kinds of things but even with them doing that portion of the work required to run a nation.
