GATE: Thus The Tempest Kingdom Fought There (Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Cro)

Ep 6 Back to Earth pt 1

*3rd POV*

After passing through the boundary known as the "GATE," they saw rows and rows of towers which scraped the sky. At this time, Piña wondered; what did the men of the Imperial Army who first set foot here think? Did they have any idea of their upcoming fate? Nestled within the valleys between these vast buildings, She realized how small she truly was. The fact that they have declared war on a country that built such magnificent structures makes the imperial princess worry for the fate of the Empire.

Then again, Ginza would not have things like skyscrapers. If one thought about it, most of the tall buildings one might see would be found in places like Shinjuku or New York.

On the topic of grand structures, Piña and Bozes considered the Imperial Palace, the Senate building, and various other military strongholds to be quite impressive, so to them, even walking down Ginza must have struck them dumb with awe.

Having a tall building among regular buildings would only make the tall building stand out more.

Because of that, from Piña's point of view, a capital city should be planned so that there would be an awe-inspiring structure standing in the middle. However, the city on the other side of the "GATE" was different. All its buildings were massive skyscrapers.

If there were a single giant tree, one might still be at peace when looking at it from underneath. However, a forest of giant trees would inflict an enormous pressure on those beneath it.

Among her thoughts, she glanced at Regudo and Shinion who sat beside her. Every time she looked at their face she started to wonder why are they loyal to such a powerful individual.

Rimuru seemed completely calm despite the sudden environment change. Neither Veldora or Milim showed any sign of excitement. The three of them was the statue of calmness. As the car slowly left the GATE behind. They inspected their surroundings.

On Rimuru's face her usual smiling expression settled. On Veldora's face his always serious and sometimes childish suspicious expression, can be seen as he glanced out of the vehicle and measured his surroundings.

As Veldora looked out of the window, he wondered.

Veldora: "So that's how Japan looks like... I saw numerous recordings, pictures and there was a countless piece of literature about this world in Rimuru's memory. But to see it live... really spectacular. Still if anyone hurts MY Rimuru they'll face the wrath of Veldora Dragon Storm Tempest. But-"

He was still a little impressed completing this many feat. In several years with machines and people, still it impressed him.

Veldora: "-After all... they don't have enough man power. So they had to build all of this wih little of it. Only using their wits..."

as he mused about this. He looked out again at the window.

Veldora: "Not as impressive as Tempest's buildings but never the less impressive. I still can't wait for more literature."

As Rimuru glanced out of the window, the nostalgia caught up with her.

Rimuru: "So this is it... This is the same old Japan I knew."

A small smile curled on her slimy face.

Rimuru: "I must admit. It is exactly what I remembered. Of course our new world has beautiful sceneries as well. But this... this is the place where I come from. The place of my origin. Despite I am a slime now and the resident of the New World or as my friend call it... 'Bob'... I still feel a kinship towards the Japanese people... but of course, if I have to choose between the two I chose my current world. my kingdom. If any nation from Earth or the world what located on the other side of our GATE threaten my friend's legacy..."
