Tensura: The Epic Tale of Rimuru Tempest!

Chapter 4: Life in hell - 2.

'From Previous Chapter'

"So, are you going to admit defeat, or do I have to deal with you too?" I asked him.

If he insists on fighting, I'll have no choice but to eliminate him.

"No, no, Argent-sama. I will submit to you. Please accept me as one of your servants," he said.

Ehh... Ehhhhhhhhh...?

'Continuation Argent POV:'

Ehh.....Ehhhhhhh...?

What is he saying? Why would I take him under me? I don't need any subordinates now, maybe in the future, but not presently. I will just decline him for now, but it's going to be tough.

"Hey... Noir, why would you want to serve me?" I asked him because I need to understand his reasoning.

"Because now, I can see your greatness. Even if it's your lowest rank, I will become your subordinate." The first part he said like he was speaking of a deity, and later he seemed desperate.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't need any subordinates at the moment.

"I will greatly appreciate the thought of you serving me, but I don't currently require any subordinates. However, if in the future the need arises, then I will certainly consider you. So for the time being, let's become friends," I explained to him.

Initially, I was going to decline him, but seeing his disheartened expression, I reconsidered. When I mentioned I didn't need him, he looked as if he had been through a traumatic experience. Witnessing his reaction, I changed my mind, and he seemed relieved, at least for now.

"Thanks for the opportunity, Argent-sama," he said while bowing.

"Don't call me '-sama', okay? We are friends, and friends are equals, right? So, let's keep it casual," I suggested, wanting to avoid creating a hierarchical dynamic.

"Being equal to Argent-san is like a blessing," he said.

After that, I returned home with Noir accompanying me. He expressed a desire to stay with me for a while, which I welcomed. This arrangement allows me to learn Dark magic from him, so I agreed to his request.

So here I am sitting in my home. I wonder how strong I have gotten since my evolution. I feel that I have gotten a lot stronger, but how much? Let's ask Raphael about it.

>>Hey Raphael, could you run an appraisal on me?<<
