Rimuru, Princess of the Storms.

The Legend of Shizue Izawa.

Ch 14, S 1.

3rd POV :

Shizu gently put her mask back on the side of her head before bending down and picking Rimuru up in her arms. She then turned around at the same time her temporary group approached her to make sure she was fine.

“A-are you ok, Miss Shizu? You scared us for a moment.” Elyun asked Shizu with a worried tone while checking her for possible injuries.

Shizu happily laughed and said with a small smile. “I’m fine, do not worry about me. Slime-san over here helped me.” She gestured to the curious slime in her arms, which Elyun had overlooked in her worry.

“H-huh? This slime help you? I thought they weren’t sentient-” “Hey! I’m here, you know?” Rimuru interjected with a slight pouty tone. “I’m not like the others! I even have a name and it's Rimuru Tempest!”

Shizu giggled at the slime’s rebuttal while she lightly petted it and said. “As Slime-san meant, I would be injured if Slime-san didn't help me while I was weakened.”

“O-oh.” Elyun said slowly, feeling slightly embarrassed. She then bowed in gratitude towards the slime. “I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions! Thank you for saving our friend, Rimuru-san!”

Rimuru’s pouty face changed to a surprised one and it said with a laugh. “It's ok, don't worry. I heard cries from the village where I live so I investigated.”

“Speaking of a village.” Kaval said, wiping sweat from his eyebrows. “It's been three days since we ran nonstop after being chased by those damn ants. Our equipment is broken and we don't have any belongings left. If your village is close by, would you mind giving us hospitality in your village a little?”

“What? Are you crazy, Kaval? What if it's a village of Monsters? What if it's dangerous?” Gido interjected, only to be bonked on the head by Elyun. “How dare you, Gido? The slim-sorry, Rimuru-san, had the courage to save us when it didn’t have to and seems very nice. Doubting Rimuru is like spitting in the face of its help right now.” Elyun scowled before she turned to Rimuru with her hands clasped together around her cane. “Excuse this idiot. We would be happy if you accept us in your village for a little, if you allow us of course!”

“Err, I guess I can. It's not really my village but it's in my forest anyway so I guess I technically can?” Rimuru thought about it before shaking its little body in Shizu’s arms. “Why do I even wonder? Rigurd will not have any problem with that I'm sure. I’ll guide you to Rigurd’s village and you can stay as long as you want.”

“I will follow them as well. You don't mind, do you, Slime-san?” Shizu asked with a smile in which Rimuru shrugged. “Sure.”

“Thank you, Slime-san.” Shizu pat Rimuru’s slime body again which made Rimuru comfortable.

“This way.” Rimuru pointed in a direction with a little slimy limb sprouting out of its body before turning to Ranga still at his precedent spot. “Can you lead the way, Ranga?”

“With pleasure, Master!” Ranga panted and ran forward in front of them as they all walked towards Rimuru's village.

After arriving at the Tempest Village (official name courtesy of Rigurd), Rimuru, Ranga and their temporary guests were greeted by Rigurd, who immediately ran in front of Rimuru like a train with a respectful bow.

Rigurd then accepted the group without much of a thought, saying Rimuru's friends were also his.

The group moved on to a tent where some food was displayed and the whole idiot trio froze before running to the seats and eating like their lives depended on it.
