Tensura: The Abyss Demon

Chapter 45

Within Veldora and Rimuru's abode, Chloe sat comfortably with a smile on her face. She had finally confirmed that the Rimuru sitting in front of her is the one she knows and loves.

"I'm all ears. Explain yourself." Rimuru said.

Veldora sat behind him, reading manga. It may not seem like he's paying attention but he is just as curious as Rimuru.

"My name is Chloe Aubert and this soul within me is Hinata Sakaguchi. We're from the future." Chloe said.

"The future you say?" Rimuru asked, skeptical.

"One where you did not reincarnate as a primordial demon. I was quite surprised when I found out that you reincarnated earlier than the normal timeline, as a primordial nonetheless." Chloe explained.

"That makes sense. Veldanava did say that this was the only timeline in which I reincarnated as a primordial demon, due to some unknown factors." Rimuru quietly muttered, finally realising the significance of his reincarnation.

"Rimuru-sensei, I am as you know from the future. I can't exactly tell which time it started, it's a bit complicated. All I know is that I usually time travel two thousand years before you reincarnate. The key to the activation of my skill is Hinata.
Everytime she dies, my skill activates." Chloe says.

"I see."

"To be honest, I don't know if I should tell you about the future. But since you already ruined the timeline, then I guess telling you won't hurt." Chloe said.

She then began her explanation, starting from how her and the other kids were summoned. Then to how she was enrolled into a school for kids like her who were otherworlders, as they were called. With someone named Shizu Izawa becoming their teacher. She died, then Rimuru arrived as a substitute. He managed to save them from dying by letting spirits inhabit them.

She continued, stating how Rimuru ruled over a nation as its king.

"Hold up! I created a nation?" Rimuru asked surprised.

"Yes you did. A nation of monsters." Chloe answered.

"That sounds like a lot of trouble though." Rimuru said. Managing a nation full of monsters wasn't something just anyone could do. It is a draining endeavour to say the least.

Chloe continued with the story, telling Rimuru about the tension that existed between his nation and the holy empire of Lubelius.

"Lubelius? Never heard of it." Rimuru flatly said.

"Well it was meant to be created after Veldora-san destroys Luminous' Night rose." Chloe explained.

"Why would Veldora destroy.........never mind. That actually sounds like Veldora." Rimuru deadpanned.

"Oi oi Rimuru don't say that. I'm a different person now you know?" Veldora chimed in.

He was ignored. No one wanted to argue with him, not when they were discussing very important topics.

"Veldora this time didn't destroy Night rose, so this changes alot. Lubelius is a country that is very important to the timeline, especially for the humans that suffer from monster attacks." Chloe said.

"Why don't you just tell Luminous to still create Lubelius. It sounds like it's an important nation, convince her somehow." Rimuru stated.

"That's a great idea. I'll do that when I see her next time. Now then...."

The war with the Eastern empire was where things began to get complicated.

"Probably. When the Empire started their march into the West. You went to fight in the war and....." She couldn't finish her sentence.
