The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Morax prepared to wake Rimuru from sleep.
“Rimuru, wake up, Rimuru, wake up, don’t sleep anymore.”
Morax held Rimuru in his arms and gently shook him twice.
“Morax, is something wrong?”
Rimuru opened his big eyes, which were materialized from Slime liquid.
“It’s dawn, it’s time to set off.”
Morax looked at Rimuru and said softly.
“Oh, got it.”
Rimuru replied lazily.
“Let’s first find a place to live, after all, living in the forest forever is not a solution.
However, because we are Demons, we cannot go to human towns, so let’s first find a safer place in this Jura Great Forest, build a small house with trees, and then make other plans.”
Morax explained to Rimuru while talking about his plans.
In the original work, Rimuru met a group of Goblins as soon as he came out of the cave, but the location was not detailed in the plot.
After all, this is not a novel or an anime, so Morax couldn’t force it; he could only find a place to live and search slowly.
After all, Rimuru’s head butler and many elites were among this weak group of Goblins.
Before Morax could finish speaking, he heard a snoring sound.
Morax turned his head and saw that Rimuru had fallen asleep again at some point.
Looking at Rimuru, Morax could only smile helplessly.
What else could he do?
He had to pamper his own person, and this was his future strong backing!
Morax could only hold Rimuru in his arms and began today’s journey.
After walking not long, Morax heard a sound of fighting.
Upon hearing it, Morax followed the sound and arrived behind a bush.
Morax slowly pushed aside the bush and saw a small group of Demons being hunted by several humans.
The hunted Demons had green skin and pointed ears; they were clearly the type of Demons extremely common in this other world.
“Goblins.”
“Found them.”
Morax’s eyes lit up.
Aren’t these the first Demons of Rimuru in the Rimuru storyline, and also the first residents of Tempest?
It can be said that the existence of this group of Goblins made Rimuru want to create the Demon Country Federation.
To be honest, Goblins are often very unpopular in many two-dimensional anime.
Goblins in many anime have dark green skin, are short and ugly red-eyed dwarfs, greedy and despicable in personality, evil, cunning, and good at deception, and also have a disgusting ability: no reproductive isolation (e.g., Goblin Slayer).
But in the Rimuru worldview, Goblins are portrayed in a way that makes people feel good about them. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Among these Goblins, the ones that left a deep impression on Morax were undoubtedly Rigurd, who was hailed as the head butler, and Gobta, who survived two punches from Milim.
“Morax, what happened?”
At this moment, Rimuru in Morax’s arms woke up.
“Look.”
Morax pointed his hand at what was happening in front.
Rimuru followed Morax’s dragon claw and saw several humans, clearly adventurers, hunting Goblins.
Seeing this scene, Rimuru was confused.
Isn’t it normal for humans to hunt Goblins?
“Morax, is there a problem?”
Seeing Rimuru’s puzzled expression, Morax realized that it seemed to be true.
The current Rimuru was not the Rimuru in Morax’s memory.
She was not the king of Tempest (Demon Country Federation) now, nor the Leader of the Jura Great Forest, nor an Eight Star Demon Lords; she was just a reincarnator whose previous life was even affected by the butterfly effect and became a girl.
Although she had now transmigrated into a Slime, her thoughts were still stuck on human thinking, so for her, humans hunting Goblins was, of course, a matter of course.
Otherwise, that tragedy would not have happened in the later plot.
“Rimuru, I want to save this group of Goblins.”
Morax said to Rimuru.
“Why?”
After all, in Rimuru’s view, humans hunting Demons was a perfectly normal thing.
“Rimuru, don’t forget, we are not humans now; we are also Demons.”
Morax lectured Rimuru.
To be honest, although he was laying the groundwork, Morax still hoped that Rimuru could change his thinking as soon as possible, so as not to harm himself because of his kindness.
The tragedy of the Demon Country Federation was caused by Rimuru always having good feelings for humans.
Morax did not want Rimuru to regret things after they happened.
Although there were remedies, why let bad things happen when they could be solved from the root?
“For one, we are now Demons, and we should stand on the side of Demons.
Second, we are not familiar with this forest; we can save this group of Goblins and be their leaders.
Third, we don’t have a place to live yet; we can go to their place to stay.
Understood?”
“Understood, Morax.”
Listening to Morax’s words, Rimuru responded as if he understood but also didn’t.
“Then what should we do?”
Rimuru asked. Find the original chapter at g.com.
To be honest, it was a bit difficult for the current Rimuru to take action against humans.
Looking at her troubled expression, Morax said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, you don’t need to fight humans.
We only need to release our magic power, making that group of humans mistakenly think that a powerful Demon has arrived, and that’s it.”
Hearing Morax’s words, Rimuru smiled.
“Morax, you’re so good.”
“Alright, stop messing around.
Don’t you have that skill, ‘Mimicry’?
Just use the Mimicry skill to simulate the aura of a Demon you once devoured, and that’s enough.”
Morax suggested to Rimuru.
“Okay.”
Rimuru quickly used the Mimicry skill, simulating the aura of a B-rank creature, a Black Spider.
A leading human man who was hunting Goblins seemed to sense something.
“Everyone, run!
There is a powerful Demon aura here.
At least B-rank.”
After saying that, he no longer bothered with the Goblins, turned around, and prepared to run.
“What, B-rank?
How could there be such a creature in this outer area?”
“What are you still standing there for?
Run!”
“What about our mission?”
“Just run!
If you lose your life, what’s the point of a mission?”
“Exactly, you fool, which is more important, your life or the mission?”
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight people disappeared without a trace.
The rescued Goblin tribe, due to exhaustion, all collapsed on the ground.
“Chief, let’s run too!
A powerful Demon is coming.”
At this moment, a noticeably stronger Goblin said anxiously.
“Run for what?
How can we escape from a B-rank Demon?”
A Goblin Elder said in despair.
