Rimuru's journey In the world of Orario(Tensura x Danmachi Crossover)

Epilogue: The Escape

***Rimuru POV***

I am currently doing my typical paperwork on my desk and inside my office that I have been working on for the past thousands of year, maybe even more.

It has been so long since the tenma war had ended that I can't even remember the exact years from now.

{Correction. It's been exactly 69,194 years  until now, mater} Ciel said.

It's already been that long?...

I think I started loosing my sense of time after the first thousand years that I have been in this world.

And looking back at it. when I was still a human, I never would have imagine me living for thousands of years. Maybe that's why I'm having problems right now. Who knows?

{I know}

I decided to ignore Ciel as I have nothing to reply with.

A lot has happened since then but I can't even remember most of them. And the saddest part was the passing of some of my friends. I can't remember their names nor their faces and I hated myself for that.

Thankfully my closest friends were still alive and well. Benimaru has passed down the role of the General onto his son. Hakurou is still as strong a ever. Shion and Shuna would still get into small fights with each other. And many more of my friends stayed the same as they were 6 millions year ago.

But even though things we're finally peaceful after the war, I felt like I'm loosing a part of myself each passing year. It's a feeling of boredom and loneliness that is slowly eating away my emotions. Was this the feeling veldanava felt after he created the world?

Because things are already peaceful in the cardinal world, there were no more reason for me to interact with the outside world. And that maybe the reason for my profound solitude.

As I was thinking of all of stuff. I detected someone's presence approaching my office. And that someone was Benimaru.

"Lord Rimuru, may I come in?"

"Of course. Come in"

"Lord Rimuru, I have something important to ask of you" he said

"Hmm? And what could that be?" I asked

"It's about your well-being"

"My well-being? Is there a problem?"

{...}

"It's not like that Lord Rimuru. We, your subordinates have been noticing something about you, like boredom perhaps? We are just worried that you might be suffering"

"C'mon, don't say that. I'm happy that thing are now peaceful"

"And that's all because of your sacrifices, Lord Rimuru. But you appear to be bored and lonely, that why we decided that you go on a vacation to escape your responsibilities" Benimaru said while showing a little bit of sadness.

"Are you sure you guys are okay if I go away?"

"As sad as  it may seem, we are more worried about your well-being than anything else"

I eventually gave up on arguing with him and accepted his offer. I myself thinks that a little vacation won't hurt and it's nice to have a change of pace.

After asking a few more questions to Benimaru regarding this 'vacation', here's the details: I will be going alone (with the exception of Ciel of course). Benimaru will be the one in charge of Tempest while I'm gone. And that's pretty much all of it.

After talking with Benimaru about all this things, I arranged a meeting with all of my closest subordinates to say my goodbyes before leaving.

***SOMETIME LATER***

"We will miss you, Lord Rimuru!" Cried the purple haired Oni, Shion.

"We must consider our Lord before us, first secretary" Diablo said in a rather corrective manner.

"Indeed, he who gave us life must come first" Zegion, The massive insectar said in a matter of factly tone.

There were many others who are in this meeting such as Hakurou, Shuna, Benimaru, Souei, and Gabiru.

"You guys... I really will miss you. But it's just a quick vacation so don't worry about me. I'm more worried about you guys"

"We appreciate your worries, Lord Rimuru. But we can handle ourselves" Benimaru said.

"Your right. I guess I shouldn't have worried"

And with that, I said my final goodbyes and got ready for my vacation.

I flew on top of Tempest to get a final look of it before leaving.

"Goodbye everyone" I whispered to myself.

{Are you ready, master?}

(Of course. Where are we going anyways, I hope it's ingracia or some other place)

{No, master. You will have your vacation on another world}

(Another world huh? It's been a while since I left the cardinal world. I'm kind of excited)

{Indeed. Now commencing [Dimensional Leap]}

I trusted myself to Ciel as I momentarily shut down my mind to prepare for the process.
