Iruma POV

I enter my bedroom, followed by the mysterious child named Rimuru. She walks over to my bed, climbs up (with some difficulty), and sits on the edge, her little feet dangling. Looking at me with a smile on her face, she pats on the bed indicating that she wants me to sit next to her. I walk over and awkwardly sit down.

"Soooooo...before we get to the main topic I want to talk about, I have a different question for you. Are you Japanese?" she says with an almost excited look in her golden eyes. Thrown a bit by a question different from the one I was expecting, I hesitate for a moment before answering.

"Yes..."

"I knew it!" she exclaims "As soon as I heard your name, I knew you were Japanese!" she says with excitement.

"Why does a demon care that I'm from Japan?" I ask, feeling confused.

"What makes you think I'm a demon?" she looks at me puzzled.

"Wait...what?"

"I never said I was a demon, kid. Where did you get that idea?"

"But you said you were a Demon Lord...and why do you keep calling me 'kid'? I'm clearly older than you!"

"I am a Demon Lord, but that doesn't mean I'm a demon! Those are two completely separate things!" she says this as if it is the most obvious thing in the world. "I guess I technically am a demon, in a sense, but not the same kind as Diablo or Sullivan. I'm something different." She clarifies after pausing to think.

"Also, for your information, I'm much older than I look, so calling you 'kid' makes sense! I can change my appearance at will, at least to a certain extent. I just happened to pick a very young-looking one today." Rimuru says in a casual tone.

"W-what are you then?" I ask, honestly a little scared to hear the answer.

"Ok, I'll tell you. I'm a type of monster, a magic-based creature. This form I'm in right now is a transformation, a mimic of a human, and a gift from a friend who passed away a long time ago." Rimuru says, showing a hint of sadness when mentioning this old friend. After a few moments of contemplation, she asks "Do you want to see my true form? If I show it to you, you have to promise not to freak out! I tend to startle people pretty bad when I show it to them for the first time."

Freak out? She did say she was a monster...so is it going to be really scary?

"Sure, I'm ready for anything..." I say, trying my best to sound confident.

"Okaaaay..." Rimuru says. I watch in horror as she begins to melt into goo right before my eyes! I stare in disbelief at what's left of her body. A light blue blob, similar in color to Rimuru's hair, is now sitting on my bed. I instantly recognize what she is, having seen them before in games and stuff.

"You're a slime!?" I say, my jaw about to hit the floor.

"I told you not to freak out! Sheesh...you said you were ready for anything, kid!" the slime sitting on my bed says in a scolding tone. She'd probably be rolling her eyes at me if she had any.
