With the goblins guiding them, the trio reached Rimuru's village safely.

They had some minor inconveniences along the way, such as getting attacked by beetle monsters, but they were all taken care of easily. Tempy casually opened a portal to send the monsters straight to UT, who would punch them to oblivion.

Their combo honestly felt illegal. The monsters didn't have time to realize that the scenery had changed since they would get destroyed faster than they could process it.

It might not work on a more intelligent monster, though.

"Oh, is that the village?" Tempy asked, excited.

"Yes," answered a goblin.

"Finally, some roof!" UT yawned, stretching his limbs.

They can finally sleep without any worries now. Or rather... relax. These guys don't really need to sleep, but you get the point.

"Hey! Wake up! We're here."

"Ah? Huh...?" Suki rubbed his eyes in surprise, looking around in confusion upon being shaken awake by UT. He still hadn't fully recovered just yet.

"Morning, sleeping beauty. We've arrived. Now, if you could park your spider somewhere? It's a bit too big to bring along." Tempy said, glancing at the knight spider.

"Right."

As Suki stored the knight spider in his shadow, the group immediately entered the village and they were greeted by Rimuru along with seven unfamiliar monsters the trio couldn't recognize, since they were not shown in anime, manga, or light/web novels.

Which could only mean one thing...

'HSW folks?'

The trio immediately concluded that they must be reincarnators like them, since it wouldn't be that strange for some of them to join Rimuru, just like them.

There was an issue, though.

What should they say now that they've arrived and the man (slime) they were looking for was now in front of them? Very unsurprisingly, they didn't think about this part and simply focused entirely on finding this place. They did not stop for a moment to think of a believable story that would make Rimuru accept them.

'Shit! Think, I need to think of something good!'

As Tempy tried piecing a backstory together all while panicking mentally, Rimuru greeted them warmly.

"Welcome to the village, travelers! I'm Rimuru!"

"H-Hello, Rimuru... san—erm, sama?" UT was the first to say anything, unexpectedly, all while sounding stiff and awkward.

The other two were also the same. As much as they wanted to act casual, they remembered it would be impolite to behave like that in front of a big shot. He might be lenient and easy-going, but he is still the master of this place. While he probably wouldn't mind it even if they behaved roughly, the monsters serving him might take it differently.

That would invite a lot of unnecessary troubles and they're not prepared for that, at all. What if they get kicked out? They would be wandering around aimlessly, and the chances of them getting killed would skyrocket. They can probably take most of the monsters in Jura Forest head-on, but it would be annoying if they encountered a group of reincarnators.

They could easily imagine a few who would try to kill them without a proper reason, other than doing it for fun.

What should they do now?
