A year had passed after the fight with Yuuki.
A lot happened after that.
No, really.
So much that it's a pain to remember it all.
I broadcasted that I defeated Velda to the whole world.
With the help of optics magic which uses observation magic, I projected myself into the skies of all the countries.
And then, declared under my name that a universal crisis had just passed.
The world was filled with joy and slowly the unprecedented disorder came to an end.
And needless to say, it was the people of Tempest who helped bring it to an end.
Anyway, the world has finally regained its previous stability.

A while after defeating Yuuki, I released Veldora.
And then, that guy went on saying stuff like,
"Kuahh-, that was a good sleep. It seems like it's my turn at last!"
Even considering that he was isolated from the physical world while in the 'Imaginary Space', it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he wasn't reading the atmosphere at all.
And the price for that was quite high.
And so him being punished by his elder sisters couldn't be helped.
However, his elder sisters-Velzado and Velgrynd's interest soon went towards Velgaia, the new true dragon, who was riding on Milim's shoulder.
Although it can be said that he was saved thanks to that, it is also true that that was also the 'cause behind his sisters leaving him'-which he definitely deserved.
"Ggnuuu... that Gaia......"
And so, it was my job to console Veldora, who was feeling jealous of his brother (?). Just between us, that was extremely bothersome.
Well, when all's said and done, Veldora is still the same as ever.
Our relationship of him causing problem somewhere and me doing something about it will probably continue here on after as well.
I kinda felt pleasant thinking that but it will be a secret from Veldora.
I mean, obviously, right?
If I were to say that out loud, I can picture him getting carried away clear as day.
As our relation won't change, not now or later, I don't even need to say it out loud.

Speaking of his elder sisters, one of them-Velgrynd, has already set out on a journey.
She probably went to search for Rudra's reincarnate.
"Rimuru, you do have some idea about it, right?"
"Eh?! N-no. I don't know?"
She did ask me once out of the blue before leaving but I ignored it splendidly.
I definitely did not stutter because I was scared of what she did to Veldora.
It's just that I got a bit nervous since a very impactful, beautiful lady's face was very close to mine, yes.
