What if Rimuru met the dragon sisters earlier or in a different way?
Ship: Velzard × Rimuru × Velgrynd
...
(I saw others wanting this ship, so I decided to try it out. I'm a literal noob in writing. It's my first time)
Characters are not promised...
"Well, putting all formalities and greetings aside, all of you may go do what you have all been doing," Rimuru said as he waved his slime hand.
The orges then looked at each other as if they were having a meeting council with their eyes, hesitating before relunctantly nodding and did as he said. They all went out of the tent and went on their own way. Well, at least except one ogre. "Hmm? Benimaru? Is something the matter?" Rimuru asked. Benimaru, who was standing in front of the exit of the tent, looked like he has something to say but does not know where to start.
"Do you have something to say?" Rimuru tried to encourage him, "You don't have to hold back, you know? We are family now after all!" His tone sounding enthusiastic.
"Actually, Rimuru-sama...", He paused, "Other than us, there are actually some of us left. Survivors, you might say," He sighed, finally speaking.
"Oh? You could have told me much earlier so that I could have at least arranged some place to stay. Why tell it late?" He asked, feeling a bit worried. After all, it would have been very efficient and not rushed if he were told earlier about the matter so that he had Rigurd arrange some tents to stay in fore the other ogres.
Benimaru sighed deeply before speaking, "We were worried that you will use us. For us, it is an everyday matter of people of various races to come up to us. After all, our race is one of the intelligent monsters," he paused before continuing again, "While we were travelling, we saw a sign. A sign that only us orges have knowledge about, was carved deeply on a tree. We followed it and turns out we were not the only survivors."
"Hmm, I see. Well, how many are there?" Rimuru inquired further so he could be sure of how many he is supposed to house and feed.
"Well, there should be about 300+, Rimuru-sama..." Benimaru, his voice gradually lowering as he said these words whilst bowing his head more and more.
Rimuru: "Oh, then, would there happen to be a place to stay where they are located?"
Benimaru: "Yes, Rimuru-sama"
"I see, I see. Then, would it be fine if we were to take over the place? We can't start new houses here on such a short notice. So it would be better, in my opinion, if we were to strengthen their place first as the others here, at the same time, build the houses." Rimuru said as his mind wandered around. "In the future, we can utilise that place for more housing and more others. What do you think?"
"I will deliver your message, Rimuru-sama." Benimaru knelt down to the ground, his eyes seemingly reddened with tears threathening to fall. "Thank you very much!" He shouted with dedication and enthusiasm.
"Hey now... didn't I already tell you? We're family now, if one is in trouble, every one of us is and we shall help them to overcome it! One's success is everyone's success," Rimuru replied, "And one's failure shall be everyone's lesson to learn."
"Hai, I shall relay this message! Rimuru-sama, thank you, once again!"
With that, Benimaru had Souei deliver the news to the survivors. After so, Rimuru, who was alone with the quiet Vezard simply had some talks about some stuff.
"Hey, Velzard-san. Do you really have to?" he asked with a somber tone and expression.
"I'm afraid so, yes. The Frost Palace or should I say, the entire Ice Continent, is frozen only because of my aura. If I were to stay away for a long time..." she didn't finish the sentence.
"The Ice Continent will return to how it was?" he finished the trail of her unfinished sentence. As a response, Velzard nodded with a serious but sad expression.
Rimuru: "Will you be back soon?"
"Well, it could take days but I'll be back before one week?" Velzard tried to cheer him up whilst patting his head.
(Before a week... time'll pass quite quick without you knowing so it should be a breeze?) Rimuru pondered, (Well, it's not like she won't do it if I disagree so I don't really have a say on the matter.)
"Un, got it. Well, I know you're a True Dragon but stay safe," he leaped off her lap.
Velzard nodded, "I will, thank you," she crouched down, gave Rimuru a peck on his slime cheek before smiling softly and then leaving.
"W-wha...?" he stuttered, his originally blue color turning into a pink one.

(That girl! That cunning dragon-woman!) he hated how she dodged a bullet but loved how tricky and seductive she can be. In the end, he was left blushing. After a few minutes, he calmed down and exited the tent and went to find Rigurd.
. . .
"Ah, Rigurd!" he called out to the muscular/burly green goblin.
"Eh? Rimuru-sama!" Rigurd then ran up to him with his back slouched and head bowed down, "Did you need something, Rimuru-sama?" he asked in a low and submissive tone of voice.
"Un! Actually, there turned out to be some ogre survivors. They're estimated to be 300+. I was thinking if you could send people there and rebuild their stuff? We'll be taking the empty territory there and use it to house them and future more others. What do you think?" he said with a solemn expression the whole time.
"Well, if it is what Rimuru-sama wishes then it shall be done!" Rigurd saluted. "I shall take my leave and get the preparations to the ready so as not to waste any more time. May I?"
"Yeah, go on. Thank you, Rigurd," Rimuru waved his hands.
"Rimuru-sama's wishes are our command and shall be done with no flaw," he nodded before running and meeting with a few elders.
