Chapter 161: The plot is really unstoppable


    Still, even if they knew each other, they didn''t talk to each other openly, but Rimuru talked with Tamazuki through [Telepathy].


    Naturally, Tamazuki also learned this [Telepathy] when Rimuru used it on him.


    ''Bastard, where the hell have you been ying around?''


    ''Calm down, Uncle. I have brought a lot of surprises. Also, let''s talkter, and don''t tell them my real identity since I want to hide my identity as a monster from them for a while.''


    ''Okay, but you need to exin everything, okay?''


    ''Okay, okay.''


    "....."


    Rimuru let out a helpless sigh before he realized that his squishy body had been poked by several people.


    "Huh? A talking slime?"


    "Really?"


    "How can a slime talking?!"


    "Do you have a problem with slime?!" Rimuru got annoyed.


    Still, Shizu blinked her eyes, then moved closer to Tamazuki and whispered. "Inugami-kun, that''s..."


    "Yes." Tamazuki nodded. "He should also being from Japan."


    Shizu confirmed it as the sentence that came out from Rimuru was so familiar.


    "Still, why are you sure that this slime came from Japan?" Shizu asked in wonder as the people who came from another world didn''t onlye from Japan.


    "Just say an instinct?"


    Nevertheless, when they finished their introduction, the talking slime, Rimuru, brought all of them to the vige where he lived.


    Still, Rimuru quickly realized the surprise that Tamazuki had talked about, especially when Shizu picked him up and whispered about her origin.


    "Eh?"


    ''Eh?''


    ''You don''t need to say ''Eh?'' twice. Calm down, okay?''


    "........"


    Rimuru had to say that even if Tamazuki was a nephew-like existence to him, this guy was more mature than him.


    Also, did Tamazuki be an adventurer somehow?


    Frankly, Rimuru had many things to ask, but let''s just follow Tamazuki''s idea to keep his identity a secret.


    ---


    Unlike before, the vige had started to grow.


    The buildings were no longer dpidated and almost destroyed hut-like buildings. Instead, it was like a Yurt, the traditional Mongol house with a shape of a round tent used by nomadic groups.


    The inside was clean andfortable.


    Moreover, Rimuru also gave them good hospitality as he served everyone grilled meat on the stone grilling.


    Tamazuki also wanted to talk with Rimuru, but it was harder than he had thought.


    "Inugami! Inugami! Grill the meat for me!"


    "Damn, don''t steal the meat that Inugami has baked for me!"


    "Eating is a war! It''s your fault for lowering your guard!"


    Tamazuki was extremely popr with the three.


    "........" Rimuru and Shizu.


    In the end, Rimuru and Shizu talked with each other about how she could meet Tamazuki.


    Yet, was it Rimuru''s imagination that Shizu talked about Tamazuki so fondly?


    When Shizu talked about him, her voice was soft, as if she was talking to her loved one.


    While listening to Shizu, Tamazuki also looked at him, who was close to the cute human adventurer.


    "......"


    This guy... was he able to achieve a harem-like life like the typical protagonist of "Isekai" was?


    Rimuru wasn''t jealous... no, he was extremely jealous!


    Yet, Rimuru knew that he didn''t even have a gender, so he could do nothing and just epted the status quo.


    Nevertheless, Shizu also talked about his past to Rimuru as Rumiru told him about his past. Simr to Tamazuki, she thought that Rimuru wasing in the same era as Tamazuki, so she didn''t feel that surprised by the development of the country since Tamazuki had told him a lot of things.


    Yet, if there was something that made her curious, how did Rimuru and Tamazuki know each other?


    It felt like they had known each other from the beginning.


    However, Rimuru didn''t mention this matter as he had promised Tamazuki not to say anything, so that is what he was going to do. Yet, he had to say Shizu was such a strong person, especially when he heard about Shizu''s past, and it made him feel a bit guilty when he thought that he had tried to hide Tamazuki''s identity.


    Yet, Rimuru decided to leave the matter to Tamazuki.


    Nevertheless, Shizu should be a grandma, right?


    So, when Rimuru thought that Shizu bore a feeling for Tamazuki, it made him feel conflicted, but Shizu was a beautiful woman, so everything was okay, right?


    Age didn''t really matter.


    All that mattered was love, right?


    Especially when Tamazuki was also a monster.


    This made Rimuru more curious about what Tamazuki had been doing when he left.


    Fortunately, Rimuru''s blunt side, who often talked thoughtlessly without thinking of anything, didn''te out. Nevertheless, Shizu didn''t seem to hide her affection toward Tamazuki.


    Yet, how could she not be?


    Shizu didn''t have an experience with love since she had stayed alone most of her life. She was afraid of her curse-like power. Her power had robbed many people that she cared about.


    If she stayed with someone and felt affection toward them, then lost them once again, she was afraid that her heart might not be able to handle it anymore.


    Frankly, she hoped that she wouldn''t have this feeling, yet the time she spent with him was kind of different. It was the first time that someone could make her heart flutter yet calm at the same time.


    Just staying by his side, even without saying a single word, was enjoyable.


    Still...


    Shizu looked at Tamazuki, who was so close to Ellen, then shook her head.


    "Can you guide me around your vige, Slime-san?"


    "Of course."


    Rimuru nodded, then talked with Tamazuki through a telepath.


    Tamazuki nodded and let Rimuru leave with Shizu. Frankly, he had to say, as a doctor, he noticed that Shizu''s condition was far from good. He had seen Shizu''s power, which was a fire maniption, but it seemed wherever she used it, her body would be in pain.


    Moreover, when he looked at her, she reminded him of Helga, the grandma he saw in the world of Asterisk, yet with a youthful body. By now, he had also mastered Helga''s ability, which made him able to change his personal time and age. Naturally, this power was strong as he could make himself move fast by elerating his personal time or making him appear as old or younger as he wished.


    Still, as he looked at the three idiots, he thought that it was time for them to part. He knew that the best way to get stronger was to stay by Rimuru''s side, so that''s what he was going to do.


    However, when all of them were eating, a sudden explosion stunned all of them.


    "Wh-What''s happening?"


    "Ah, my meat drops on the ground!"


    "NOOOOO!"


    "Be serious!" Tamazuki knocked the head of the three and then walked out of the tent before he saw an enormous pir of me, followed by the three. No one hesitated, and they ran in the direction of this pir of me before they saw Shizu was there, surrounded by an intense me that burnt everything.


    As if noticing his presence, Shizu stared in his direction and used all of her to say, "Please-Please leave... I can''t suppress it anymore... quickly get away from me..." Even with a feeble voice and pained body, she hoped all of them would leave her as she didn''t want to hurt all of them.


    However, she soon lost control over her body and went in berserk, burning everything.


    Under the intense me, Tamazuki stared at Rimuru with a helpless gaze.
