COTE x Reincarnated As A Slime (On Hold)

Chapter 14

3rd POV

"Ah. She fell asleep eating her meal." Shuna said, looking at the peacefully sleeping Demon Lord who had come back to Tempest today.

"Let's get her back." Shion suggested, wiggling her fingers.

Meanwhile, Milim was having a dream

Milim's dreamland

"Milim!" Her bestie, Rimuru, called out. "I want to be a demon lord, too! Please take me as your pupil!"

"Very well. You're my bestie after all. How about you, Kiyotaka?"

"Yes, please!" Dreamstate Kiyotaka answered.

"Wahahaha! You both can be my pupil!"

"Yay! Thank you, Milim!" The dreamstate Kiyotaka and Rimuru hugged her.

"Wahahaha!"

End of dream

Milim woke up and pouted. "Just when it was getting good noda... " Noticing no one was around, she wondered. "Where did everyone go?"

She concentrated while eating her chips. Suddenly, almost as if it was a radar, the strand of hair on the top of her hair stood up. "In there, huh?" She looked towards the meeting room.

Meanwhile, in the meeting room, Rigurd, Souei, Shuna, Benimaru, Hakurou, Shion, Rimuru, Kiyotaka, Sapphire and Shizue were there having a discussion.

"Therefore, I believe the ones best in charge of Lady Milim are her besties, Kiyotaka and Rimuru." Benimaru gave his opinion.

"Agreed!" Was the collective response.

"W-Wait a minute!"

"The majority agrees, so it's settled." Shuna stated.

"Which means Rimuru-sama and Kiyotaka-sama will henceforth be in charge of Lady Milim." Hakurou confirmed.

"Sorry Kiyotaka-san, our numbers aren't big enough to overturn the votes." Shizue apologized. She had voted to reject, but there weren't enough 'rejects'.

"Rimuru, Kiyotaka!" Milim called out, making Rimuru flinch. Kiyotaka stayed emotionless as usual. "Have you two decided to be a demon lord yet?!"

She broke through the door and pushed Rimuru playfully. However, she was too strong and blasted Rimuru towards the wall.

Rimuru splattered on the wall and Benimaru's face.

"Rimuru-sama!" Shion and Rigurd cried out.

"H-He won't come off!" Shion tried to remove Rimuru from the wall.

"Sorry, Milim. I'm busy building my nation right now." Rimuru told her while still being stuck on the wall. "And my body is having a hard time now, too."

"Not only that." Kiyotaka spoke up. "Being a demon lord would bring us more enemies. That would be troublesome."

"What?! T-that's not true at all, noda! Demon Lords are... erm... uh... ah... I mean Demon Lords are... urm, eto... They can shout out random attack names they come up with, and everyone will just go along with it!! Because they're Demon Lords!!"

Almost everyone but Kiyotaka, Rimuru and Shizue looked happy with the explanation, while the three of them just deadpanned.

As Kiyotaka put back the slime pieces into Rimuru, Rimuru asked. "Well, what now? You made the mood all weird."

"It's not my fault." Just as she said that, the bell rang. "Rimuru, Kiyotaka! That sound means it's time for lunch!"

"Haven't you just eaten, though?" Kiyotaka asked her.
