Passerby Diary (Writing Practice)

Chapter 11 - True Spirit Blessing on this Advocate of Gender Equality

It is dusk, the sky is orange, there is a prismatic pattern on the sky, it's because of the barrier that I have placed a while back. This barrier will prevent any person with Ill will for this town to be unable to use their skill in this place.

Invasion is pretty much impossible now, this barrier will expand as this town is also expanding, it's also preventing the climate change that is happening outside of this barrier because of the massive deforestation for our construction to get inside, so we don't need to worry about our crop going bad because of the excessive heat.

What about the pest like a crow, you ask? There is some kind of repellent that will ward away any pest that dares to approach any crop in this place.

I want to make a river that will go through this city after this whole Orc Lord incident is over, there is also the fact that we still need to do something about the excessive heat outside of the barrier, we also need to build a school so that the monsters are well educated on the human society as well.

Shiori- "So much work, so much thinking, is this how OG Rimuru feels?"

Nia- "Nation-building is hard, Shiorin. But I have sensed your conviction, so I'm sure that you can do it. I'll help you on the way too, so don't worry"

Shiori- "Thank you, Nia" I hug her as she embraces me and strokes my hair.

Nia- "No problem, I am your mother after all" She smiles lightly at me while we're still cuddling naked together in the hot spring.

Yes, we are in a hot spring. The reason why there is a hot spring here is because of me digging up all night some days before I go to the ogre village. Mio and Shinji ask me at first why am I suddenly digging a hole in the ground and I just answer them with "I'm digging a hot spring", they just shrug at my bizarre behavior as they are already used to it by that time.

The door from the changing room suddenly opens and Shuna, Shion, Ayame, Matsuri, and Rimuru enter the hot spring female side together.

Shiori- "Hey everyone, how was your day?"

Matsuri- "It was good as always, thanks for asking Shiori-sama"

All of them wash their body first before entering the hot spring.

Shion- "Good evening, Shiori-sama"

Shiori- "Good evening to you too, say Rimuru, why are you here?"

Rimuru- "Can't I be here?"

Shiori- "It's just that I thought you would be at the male side because of how you would like to be referred to as"

Shuna- "What do you mean, Shiori-sama?"

Rimuru- "I prefer to be referred to as a male"

Shion- "I don't understand why Rimuru wanted to be referred to as a guy, I thought that slime doesn't have a gender"

Shiori- "This slime named Rimuru does indeed have no gender but the reincarnated otherworlder inside of him does have a gender in his past life"

Rimuru- 'Hey! Why are you spilling that I'm a reincarnated otherworlder?!' Rimuru screamed at me using [Thought Communication]

Shiori- 'It's not like they will care anyway'

Shuna/Shion- "Reincarnated otherworlder?"

Matsuri- "I only ever met a stray otherworlder and a summoned otherworlder in my life, is what Shiori-sama said true, Rimuru?"

Rimuru is hesitating for a bit and fidgeting with his finger before answering Matsuri's question after sighing.

Rimuru- "*sigh* Yes, I'm a reincarnated otherworlder, I was a male in my past life, I can get out of the hot spring if you guys are feeling uncomfortable"
