Rimuru POV - 

The situation with Asmoday was a... disaster to put it lightly.

Everyone was shocked after seeing them, and I barely managed to convince them that they will be fine.

Lucia had been spending most of her time with them and I'd been helping in the Eurazania refugees.

After we returned with Asmoday, the feast had to be canceled.

During that time Benimaru told me about what had happened in the beast kingdom.

"Wait, wait, wait. So you're telling me that Milim attacked your nation?" I asked.

Albin nodded and told me what had happened on their nation.

I decided to have a meeting, and asked all of the high ranking staff to join.

We were about to start when Fuze barged in.

"Rimuru! I've brought 50 armed men. They might be less in number, but we'll do our best to help you!" he said.

Well, this got awkward.

"Umm... You see Fuze. I've already killed the Falmuth army" I sheepishly said.

"HUH!?" he shouted.

I was about to explain further when I felt Gazel coming toward Tempest with the Pegasus kinghts.

"Rimuru. I see that you've evolved into a demon lord" Gazel said.

"Yeah. Things happened and now I'm like this" I said.

"But how did you fight against the church's army?" he asked.

"That was Asmoday" I said.

"Oh? Then they must've evolved into a demon lord too" he said.

"It's a bit... complicated. I'll explain later" I said as I looked at Lucia who was sitting with an unresponsive Asmoday.

We had to keep them near me because their aura randomly started going berserk as their soul healed.

Suddenly I heard some people coming towards us.

"If it isn't the ruler who hides in a mountain" one of them said.

"How unexpected. To think a coward like you would side with a Demon Lord" he continued.

"Elalude. Didn't expect to see you here" Gazel said.

"Huh? You guys know each other?" I asked.

"We're acquaintances" Gazel said.

Your tone makes it sound like you're best friends.

"I'm Rimuru Tempest. The ruler of this nation" I said.

Suddenly Elalude started shouting about how I 'tricked and captured his daughter'.

Before I could do anything, he started casting a flashy spell.

Uwah! Raphael do something!

"Notice : The spel-" she said before Eren ended up hitting him with her staff.

"What are you doing here, Papa!?" she shouted.

Huh?

That's Eren's father!?

After we solved the misunderstanding, he decided to join our meeting too.

We were about to start the meeting when I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Rimuru!" Veldora said as he showed me his new clothes.

"Ho? Who's this?" Gazel asked.

"Everyone, this is my sworn friend. Veldora-kun" I said.
