Chapter 1 An Entire Town of Monsters

A tall man in red robes looked around and said, "Rimuru-sama, I didn't expect there to be another town full of monsters. I thought we were the only ones."

A goblin riding a wolf said, "Even so, there are so few humanoid monsters."

A group of monsters curiously looked around.

The blue slime being held in the arms of a certain monster had several question marks floating above its head.

Rimuru: "I remember when I came here last time, there didn't seem to be many buildings, right? Did I remember wrong? Hmm, my memory shouldn't be that bad."

"Rimuru-sama? Rimuru-sama?"

"Hmm? What is it, Shuna?" Rimuru asked.

Shuna: "Rimuru-sama, you look puzzled. Is there something wrong here?"

Hearing Shuna's words, the monsters began to cautiously look around.

Seeing everyone's tense expressions, Rimuru quickly said, "Shion, you're holding me too tight. And everyone, don't be so nervous. It's just that the changes here are a little big, and I didn't react for a moment. Nothing's wrong."

Shion: "Hmm, is Rimuru-sama alright? Did I use too much force? Ah, are you okay?"

Feeling Shion loosen her grip, Rimuru seized the opportunity to jump down and turned around, saying, "Ha, don't be so nervous, Shion. I'm fine. Look." {Rimuru bounced in place}

Jumping onto Ranga's back, Rimuru looked at Benimaru and asked, "What's wrong, Benimaru? You look so serious."

Benimaru: "Rimuru-sama, I feel a powerful aura of magic approaching."

Rimuru: "Hmm, I feel it too. Maybe the owner of this place is coming."

A group of monsters came and stood behind Rimuru.

.....

Shierlier, accompanied by the monster girl Xiao Na and Lilina, who had secretly followed them, arrived at the monster plaza and saw the monsters Xiao Na had mentioned.

Shierlier strolled up to them, sensed their presence, and looked at Rimuru. After a moment of surprise, she said to Rimuru, "May I ask who you all are?"

Benimaru was about to step forward to introduce them, but stopped when he saw Ranga carrying Rimuru-sama forward.

Rimuru: "Hello, we came from the Jura Forest. I've been here before, but it seems like there were only a few buildings then. I didn't expect it to change so much now."

"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Rimuru. Are you the owner of this place?"

Shierlier looked at Rimuru and replied, "I didn't expect you to have been here before. My name is Shierlier, but I'm not the owner of this place. He hasn't returned yet."

Shierlier looked at the monsters starting to surround them and said to Rimuru, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to my tavern."

Rimuru also saw the monsters surrounding them and asked Shierlier, "There's a tavern here? Hmm, let's go then."

Shierlier led Rimuru and his group towards the tavern.

The surrounding monsters, seeing that there was nothing to watch, all dispersed.

.....

Shierlier: "I didn't expect you to be the ruler of a country. Please forgive me for my negligence.

"I can't contact the lord from here, so I can only ask you to wait a while. Judging by the time, it may be a while before he returns."

Rimuru: "Hmm, it's alright. We don't have anything to do right now, so we can wait."

Rimuru looked at Shierlier's pointed ears and asked curiously, "Um, Miss Shierlier, may I ask, are you an elf?"

Shierlier: "Yes, what about it?"

Rimuru: "Nothing, it's just that elves are indeed as beautiful as I imagined."

Shierlier: "I see, thank you for the compliment."

"By the way, it's boring for everyone to wait here. How about I give you a tour?"

Rimuru: "Is that alright?"

Shierlier: "Why not? Let's go, I'll take you to see everything."

Shierlier first took Rimuru and his group to see the monster buildings unique to the monster space, introducing the functions of each building, which made Rimuru and the others exclaim in amazement.

Then she took them to the recovery spring.

As soon as they arrived at the recovery spring, Rimuru jumped off Ranga's back, transformed into a human, walked towards the recovery spring and said, "I know this. When I came here last time, I even took some away."

"Those spring waters were a great help. But why are there two more springs?"

Shuna: "So those spring waters were obtained from here?"

Shierlier looked at Rimuru with surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect him to be able to transform into a human. Did slimes have this ability?

Shierlier: "It seems that Rimuru-sama came here even earlier than I did. As for the other two springs, they were only recently built. One is still a recovery spring, and the other is for restoring magic power."

Magic power? Rimuru curiously put his hand in, and hmm, it can also restore magic essence.

Shierlier smiled and said, "Rimuru-sama can take some with you when you go back. Anyway, these springs will automatically recover."

"Now, let's continue the tour."

This time, Shierlier walked towards the beach, and as they got closer and closer, Rimuru's expression became more and more excited.

Splash...splash...

Hearing the sound of the waves, Rimuru exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, I didn't expect there to be an ocean here. It doesn't look like it's near the sea at all."

Benimaru and the others looked at the sea in shock.

Gobuta: "This lake is so big!"

Benimaru: "Is there such a big lake in our Jura Forest?"

Gobuta: "Bah, this water is so bitter, it's completely undrinkable."

Benimaru also tasted it, and it was indeed very bitter.

Hakuro ran to chop at the waves, looking very satisfied.

Shion grabbed a crab and asked, "Um, Rimuru-sama, what is this?"

Rimuru: "That's a crab, it's delicious when cooked."

As soon as Shion heard that it was food, her eyes lit up and she shouted to Rimuru, "Rimuru-sama, then I'll catch more and cook it for you."

After saying that, she ran off excitedly to catch crabs.

As soon as he heard that Shion was going to cook, Rimuru's expression changed drastically. He didn't even play in the sea anymore and immediately ran to Shierlier, shouting, "Miss Shierlier, let's go to the next place now."

Benimaru and the others also followed behind Rimuru, and even Hakuro stopped chopping at the waves.

Although Shierlier was a little puzzled, she still led them to the next place. Hmm, it seems that only the Gourmet Forest is left.

Shion, who was looking for crabs, saw Rimuru and the others leaving. She was about to follow, but glanced at the crabs at her feet. Hmm, noticing that they were far away, she grabbed two big ones and chased after them.
