We were bathing in the hot springs with Shuna, Shion, and Milim. As usual, Shuna always helps me wash my hair. Now, I was washing Milim's hair. Although there was a bit of commotion behind me between Shion and Shuna, I ignored it as they washed my hair simultaneously.

"Milim," I called out as I rinsed her hair again.

"Hm... What's up?"

"Why do you want to be a Demon Lord?"

"Me?... Hmm... Why indeed..." Milim paused for a moment to think, then continued, "Something bad happened and made me... Annoyed?" She turned to look at me, tilting her head.

I just stared at her flatly. If you ask me, who should I ask? "Why are you asking me back?"

"Well... I don't really care; I just want to eat some really delicious food in this city."

"Yeah, that's fine," I smiled at her and continued washing her hair.

After Milim arrived here, I immediately introduced her to the residents. I didn't want another Gabiru situation; she had hit Gabiru hard just because Gabiru called her 'Little Girl'. Now, Milim was eating a honey sandwich. I know it's delicious...

BUT IT'S STOCK FOR ME!!!

"Hm... What's wrong, Rimuru?" Milim asked, puzzled. Maybe she noticed my gaze.

"Ah! Nothing, just continue... After we eat, we'll go to the shop that Shuna set up. There are many nice clothes for you there," I said with a smile.

"Woah... Really?"

"Em."

There are still some matters from Vesta's research that he's working on. Has he made any progress?

Actually, a few days after King Gazel returned, he came back bringing Vesta. So... Even though I was reluctant, I still accepted him. His attitude has also been improving day by day.

Therefore, I wanted to leave Milim with Shuna for a while.

Oh! I forgot to introduce Diablo to everyone.

"Benimaru, can you call everyone to the conference room within the next 2 hours?" I sent him a telepathic message.

'Certainly, Rimuru-sama.'

The transmission was cut off. "Diablo."

I called his name, and his figure suddenly appeared next to me.

"Yes, Rimuru-sama, is there something you need?" Diablo, as usual, bowed with an elegant bow.

"I'm going to introduce you to the others, so come with me."

***

Everyone had gathered... "Everyone, I have something to announce..." I then introduced Diablo, who was standing beside me, "This is Diablo; from now on, he is my personal guard."

The room contained Milim, Benimaru, Shion, Souei, Hakuro, Rigurd, Kaijin, some other Goblins, and Shuna, who already knew about Diablo.

"Em... Can he be trusted?" Benimaru asked with a bit of doubt.

Well... That's understandable, as I couldn't trust Diablo when I first met him.

"Kufufu... Don't worry, Benimaru-dono. I would never think of betraying Rimuru-sama. I hope we can become close in the future." Diablo replied with an elegant bow. I started to wonder if he was some sort of noble demon from the underworld.

"That's all; I just wanted to introduce him, so you can go back to your activities," I said, dismissing the meeting.

"Alright, Shuna, I'll leave Milim with you for a while."
