The months drifted past as time went on. I kept on teaching both theoretical and practical magic skills to the children of Class S and occasionally to those of Class A. When it comes to magic, I can say that I am the greatest, and aside from primordial, very few people in the known universe can match my skill. Although I'm very certain I could defeat primordial in a fight, I'm not so sure about my theoretical knowledge. I won't be prematurely discussing anything because it's not like I have any evidence.

My days passed by as quickly as the wind, and then one faithful day—today—I felt a force that is difficult to put into words emerge from me. Something altered within me. I felt extremely light(?) but I was already so strong that my weight was completely irrelevant to me.

《The suppression has been lifted, indicating that today is the day the master was supposed to be born. 》

Okay, that makes sense. Does this mean the world will not drain any of my spiritual energy?

《Correct. However, it also means that we cannot affect the future from now on. 》

In other words, the alteration created by my presence is unavoidable.

《That's correct. 》

Anyway, I don't care either way. I don't want to do anything reckless that will harm the Jura Forest, and since the majority of my subordinates are already there, they'll be fine.

So, does it mean the game has officially begun? No, there are still two months remaining, but I devoured the Veldora three months after my reincarnation. I can't change it. I wish to save the Benimaru clan, but it seems difficult. It can cause a massive chain reaction. I don't want to lose some of my best and most trusted subordinates because of my whims.

《I agree with Rimuru-Sama. However, I believe we can save them if the master wants. 》

Oh, seriously? To be honest, I don't know them right now. I only read about them in novels. Ah, I understand. Now it appears that the 'future me' expected that I would do my best to save all of my subordinates. That's why he erased his memories and remembered them as novels. It not only allows me to have access to all relevant information, but it also cuts off my relationship with my subordinate. So, I can make a rational choice without being influenced by my emotions.

《What is Rimuru-Sama's next step? 》

Let's wait until it's time to start our game. After three months, I will ask Veldora to restrain his aura, and we will proceed in the same manner as the previous timeline described in the novel, but we will do it my way.

《Fufu. Understood. 》

So, Ciel-San, could you please contact Ramiris and tell her to relocate to Jura Forest? Also send her the spot where she could build the gate for her labyrinth.

《Consider it done. Beretta has been assigned to keep an eye on her. 》

Oh, don't forget Veldora. It would be unfortunate if Veldora broke his seal to deal with Ramiris after detecting her presence in the forest. 

Contact him. I'll talk to him personally. 

'Hello, Veldora. How're you doing?'

'Ah, Rimuru. It's you! Hahaha, I'm alright, but the 'Sacred Books' you gave, I almost completely read them. When are you coming? '

'Don't worry. I'm coming in three months. Do not attempt to break the barrier. You will terrify the other weak monsters. I contacted you to inform you that Ramiris is heading into the forest to construct her labyrinth, and.....................'

I discussed the labyrinth, how I intend to make him the ultimate boss, and other topics in a brief conversation.

'... So you understand, correct?'
