After three days of lying in bed, Rimuru's breathing had improved. She no longer moaned in pain, and the black tattoos on her body had disappeared. Now, she just lay there as if in a normal sleep.

By the bedside, Veldora was still waiting for Rimuru. After seeing that she was okay, though still a bit worried about her condition, Veldora occasionally wiped the sweat from Rimuru's forehead.

Sitting in a chair with his legs crossed, he read his manga again while keeping an eye on Rimuru.

"Mnn... No, Veldora! We can't do that now, we're not married yet..."

Veldora, who was sitting casually in the chair, almost fell to the floor from what Rimuru had said, with red lines on his face.

He gave Rimuru a sour smile.

"Actually, what are you dreaming about?"

Ignoring what Rimuru had said, he sat back in his chair.

Not long after, Rimuru slowly opened her eyes. It was as if nothing had happened.

Her first words were:

"Where is this?"

Her face was still dazed as she looked around until she finally saw Veldora sitting there, looking at her warmly.

"You're awake? Sleeping beauty?"

Her face was filled with questions from Veldora's words; she still didn't understand what was happening.

Then she felt a strong wave of nausea coming from her stomach. Crawling to the side of the bed, she vomited all the nausea.

"Ugh... Are you okay, Rimuru?"

Why do I feel nauseous?

What actually happened while I was asleep?

Her head was sweating again as she struggled to look up at Veldora.

"I'm okay." Even though her face was pale and sweating coldly, she forced a smile at Veldora.

<<It seems this is a side effect after you underwent body reconstruction, Master>>

Re--, Re--, what do you mean?

<<Body reconstruction, unlike your previous body which was only filled with slime liquid. Your current body now has internal organs like a regular human.>>

I more or less understand... So... Do I now need to eat and have other needs like when I was still a human?

<<No, you don't need anything. It's all just for show. However, your current body can reproduce new life.>>

Hm... What do you mean?

<<In other words, your body can now have a child>>

I see? ... Ahaha, Raphael-sensei really knows how to joke... Ahaha–haha–haha.

For some reason, Rimuru was a bit pleased that Raphael could joke with her now. Unlike before when he only spoke stiffly. Although his words were still monotonous, they were considered jokes by Rimuru.

So, Raphael-san. Can you explain what's really going on?

<<...>>

R-R-Raphael-san... C-Can you explain what's really going on?...

Veldora, who was there, was a bit worried about Rimuru, who was wearing a depressed expression. But he ignored it again, knowing that if Rimuru was silent like this, it meant she was talking with Raphael about something she didn't want him to know.
