StarTera: A Tensura Fanfic

Diplomacy for Dummies Part 1

It's been a couple of months since the charybdis fiasco went down, few things have happened since then. For one, we obtained a source of Styrofoam like material called Sarasa. A group of us took a trip to a large lake deep in the forest to gather some of it. We decided to just swim through the lake towards the Sarasa island in the middle, although I and a few other folks chose to sit on the backs of the two Tempest Wolves since I'm not exactly a floater let alone a swimmer. But as unfortunately we exounter the monster under the lake and things became.... uncomfortable to say the least. By the end of we gotten a grand sum of Sarasa, rimuru made a promise for more trips so the beast doesn't get lonely while I made a promise to name it at a later date. I would've like yo name it there and then to hopefully evolve it into a more humanoid for or just to be able to give it magic sense. But the size alone makes me think that it might take way too much magicules in the naming procedure, Wise Sage heavily agreed with me on that. At least I now know that the OVAs are also canon to this timeline

Fuse and the three stooges left soon after the incident with charybdis. Milim gotten here dragon knuckles to hopefully restrain her door breaking power. A month after charybdis, we finished our hellish training with milim and she left soon afterwards, likely to boast about having a bestie. I'm currently just waiting for the beginning of the next arc to begin. Basically rimuru remembering they made a promise to shizue and now needs to actually do something about it

For now I decided to stroll around the town hall, even with a skill that works as an eternal set of headphones, I still find myself quite bored since the sources of entertainment are quite limited.

I was in the middle of mindlessly strolling through the halls when I came across Benjamin in his office, trying out some noble looking coats

Kaijuno: trying on the latest trends?

Benjamin: I'm just trying out the outfits for my upcoming envoy trip

Kaijuno: envoy trip?

Benjamin: Yes, Rimuru-Sama assigned me and a couple other folks to represent Tempest in the diplomatic envoy trade meeting in eurazania

Kaijuno: I see, I guess rimuru wants to make preparations really early

Bejamin: I say we're more right scheduled since I will depart in less than a week

Kaijuno: ...less than a week?

Benjamin: Yes

Kaijuno: okay, I'll be heading out then

Benjamin: have a good day Kaijuno-Sama

Kaijuno: You too

*Later that night at Kaijuno's household*

Kaijuno: ....... LESS THAN A WEEK!?

Kaijuno:(How the heck did this happen!? The whole start of the diplomatic relationship with eurazania wasn't supposed to start til the beginning of season two. Rimuru seemed to be pretty late in his teaching time by then that he had to take a few days off for it and yet it's happening before they even head out to teach at the academy. Was this some sort of butterfly effect that I caused? What your thoughts on this Wise Sage?)

Wise Sage:[Answer: it could be a possibility that production of the anime altered the timing of some events in the source material. It could be likely that the start of diplomatic relations were never intended to take so long to start in the first place]

Kaijuno:(Really? I know some things are cut from the light novel due to budgeting and limited air time. But timing be out right different from the source material is outright ridiculous)

Kaijuno: Well what's done is done I suppose. Also there's another thing that is concerning. My unique skill Muncher might not be cutting out of it any more. I struggled way more than rimuru during the fight with charybdis since Muncher is way less powerful and had a shorter range than Gluttony. I need to think of a way to evolve into a superior Unique skill, but how? If I remember correctly, Geld had the Unique Skill Gourmet which later evolved into belezebub, basically a non sin series equivalent version of rimuru's belezebuth.
