A month has passed since the incident at the ruins. Things have calmed down a bit, for most people. For me, the paperwork has only increased. Now that Tempest has more or less replaced the The Five Elders, all the handling of the Council is mainly led by Tempest. Due to which my and Testarossa's workload has increased.

Meanwhile, in Tempest, a proper legislative council was made. The council was majorly divided into two parts. One for humans and one for monsters. Both the human and monster representatives were 150 in number. For a law to be made, it must have majority vote from both human and monster representatives. Finally, my stamp is required for it to be a law. It is a type of democracy, that is, if you don't count me or my executives. I am still above the law and have the right to dismiss anyone from the legislature.

I was in my room when I heard someone running towards my room. It could only be one person. Yep. As I expected. The door blew of its hinges and fell apart. Luckily, I had long given up on making them stronger to withstand Milim's force, rather, now they can restore themselves automatically.

"Bestie. It's hatching. What should I do? Look. Look."
"Calm down. I get it. It will hatch properly and you need not do anything."

Milim has been staying in Tempest for the past month with the excuse of Gaia. She said that it would be better if she stayed here so that I and Veldora, who were dragons, could help her. Quite cheeky of her to run away from her duties, but I guess it worked. She showed me the egg. It had cracks and was moving around. Looks like it really is hatching. Suddenly the egg shell shattered and a cute chibi dragon came out of it.

"Kyuuu." It said.
"Gaia. It really is you." Milim said hugging Gaia and with tear in her eyes. I quickly run an analysis on her. Two things catch my eye.
Firstly, she is strong. She most probably defeats Gobta in EP. The problem is how well Gaia can use her skills.
Secondly, Gaia's race. Gaia was a Chaos Dragon, but now Gaia's race is a Holy Dragon. What the hell? You can change species like this? How? Could it be?
<I speculate that the quality and type of mana a dragon has defines its race. Since Gaia had chaotic energy, he was a Chaos dragon. Now that his mana has calmed down and reached the state before his death, it is possible that his race also reverted back to his original race.>

I knew it. Mana plays a major role in a dragon's life. But, it is still a speculation.
<Correct. A proper conclusion can only be reached if more data is obtained.>

I guess that is understandable.
"Hey. Hey. Rimuru, let's take Gaia on an adventure."
"Huh?"
"Ya. Dragons are apes hunters. They only ever eat what they hunt. Well, I guess you are an exception as you had your soul."
"Then just take him to the labyrinth to train him. Also, wouldn't Frey be angry if you don't go back."
"Ehh. Rimuru. Please."
"Fine. Tell the others to get into their avatars. I will be there in some time."

After quickly finishing my work, I went to go and train Gaia. We four, along with Gaia, later on came to be known as the flourless guardians. But that is a different story.

A few days later...

I was in my room doing al the paperwork when Shuna came into the room.
"Rimuru-sama, you have a guest."
"Who?"
"He called himself Dino."
"Dino? Why is he here? Let him in. He is a demon lord."
"Understood."

Shuna then left the room and came back.
"Please follow me to the guest room."
"Yep." I say and get up and follow her to the guest room.

As soon as I enter the room, I see Dino lying on the couch as if owns the place. I could feel Shuna's anger, but I guess she decided to hold back.

"Yo Rimuru. Doing fine?"
"Yep. What about you?"
"I will go and bring tea." Shuna said and left.

"I am fine. Just lazing around."
"So? Why did you come here? If you came here for fun then I am kicking you out."
"Oi Oi Oi. Wait. Look at this. Guy told me to come here." He said giving me an envelope. It had Guy's aura all over it. I open it up and read what was written. It said,
