Rimuru picked up the soup and started drinking it.
Because Morax had prepared it for him, Rimuru drank it especially slowly this time.
Although he currently had no sense of taste, it didn’t affect his enjoyment of the soup.
At this moment, in Rimuru’s heart, nothing in the world was more important than this bowl of soup.
As for Morax’s arrangements for the Goblins and Fang Wolf Tribe, they had long been forgotten.
Watching Rimuru savoring the soup, Morax felt both amused and pained.
Amused because of the way Rimuru drank the soup, and pained because he wondered what kind of life this girl had lived in her previous life, to cherish a simple bowl of vegetable soup so much.
“Alright, hurry up and drink it.
Isn’t there another bowl?
I knew one wouldn’t be enough for you, so I prepared two bowls.”
Morax said gently.
“Morax, what about you?
If I drink it, what will you drink?”
Rimuru asked, puzzled.
“I’ve already eaten.
Both these bowls are for you.
You don’t need to be so cautious; just drink it heartily.”
Morax said with a smile.
“Then I won’t be polite.”
Rimuru shouted, no longer savoring it, and gulped down one bowl of soup in one go.
Then he picked up the other bowl and started drinking it.
Watching Rimuru drink the soup heartily, Morax found Rimuru incredibly adorable.
Actually, Morax had lied; he had only prepared these two bowls of soup.
However, seeing Rimuru like this, Morax felt it was worth it.
At his level, eating was no longer an issue.
Since Rimuru liked to drink it, he should just let him drink.
After Rimuru finished drinking, he used Slime fluid to form a humanoid arm and wiped off the soup that had gotten on him.
“Alright, now that you’ve finished drinking, it’s time for us to get to business.”
At this moment, Morax spoke up after seeing Rimuru finish drinking.
Rimuru was confused.
“What business?”
Seeing Rimuru’s bewildered expression, Morax helplessly covered his head.
He couldn’t help but wonder internally if this was truly one of the Three Kings of another world.
He seemed rather unintelligent.
“You didn’t forget, did you?
Last night, we subjugated the Goblin and Fang Wolf Tribe.
You were so tired that you just fell asleep.
Now they’re all waiting for your arrangements, you know?”
“Oh.”
Only then did Rimuru remember.
“Sigh, I truly worry for your future subjects.
Having such an unreliable leader like you.”
Morax’s tone was a bit sarcastic.
Listening to Morax’s words, Rimuru just gave an awkward laugh.
“Haha, wasn’t I just too busy and forgot?”
Rimuru defended himself.
“You were too busy?”
Morax’s gaze was a bit strange.
“All you do is eat and sleep.
The only thing you did last night was spit out some spider silk.
Oh, and you swallowed a Star Wolves’ corpse.
I’d like to ask, what exactly were you busy with?
I’m quite curious.”
Morax mercilessly exposed Rimuru, giving him no face.
Listening to Morax’s words, Rimuru didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
“At least I cheered for Morax!”
Rimuru said with a proud expression.
“You…”
Seeing that Morax was about to continue complaining, Rimuru quickly interrupted.
“Morax, don’t say anything else.
Didn’t you say we still need to arrange things for the Goblin and Fang Wolf Tribe?
Let’s go quickly, don’t keep them waiting.”
After speaking, Rimuru hurriedly jumped out of the wooden house.
Watching Rimuru flee in disarray, Morax couldn’t help but feel a headache.
“When will this guy mature a bit?
Forget it, I’ll slowly guide him in the future.
At worst, I’ll handle everything.”
Morax’s tone became somewhat serious when he spoke the last sentence.
Then, Morax also walked out of the house, just like Rimuru.
Outside the house, Morax saw Rimuru in front of all the Goblins and Star Wolves, seemingly waiting for something.
Seeing Morax, Rimuru shouted loudly,
“Morax, over here!
You’re the only one left.”
Morax walked over after hearing him.
Seeing Morax approach, Rimuru wasted no more words.
Looking at the Goblins and Star Wolves below, to be honest, although they were called the Goblin tribe and the Fang Wolf Tribe, the number of Goblins was truly not many.
Even including the old, weak, sick, and disabled, there were less than a hundred of them.
The Fang Wolf Tribe was a bit more numerous, totaling over a hundred, but not significantly more than the Goblins.
Rimuru cleared his throat, which he had created with Slime fluid, and began to prepare his speech.
“Since you Goblins and Fang Wolf Tribe have submitted to me and Morax, I will now make some arrangements for you and establish some rules.
I will have you form groups of two, but because the Fang Wolf Tribe is significantly more numerous than the Goblin tribe, the extra Star Wolves will be used to guard the village gate and patrol around the village to observe the situation.
In other words, you will live and work together in teams from now on.”
Rimuru spoke while gesturing with his hands, which he had formed with Slime fluid.
Just then, a Goblin raised his hand.
“Alright, does this Goblin have a question?”
Seeing someone raise a hand, Rimuru quickly asked.
“Um, Rimuru-sama, I’d like to ask, what does ‘forming a team’ mean?”
Upon hearing his words, three black lines appeared on Rimuru’s forehead.
Then Rimuru looked at the other Goblins and Star Wolves and couldn’t help but ask,
“None of you know?”
All the Goblins and Star Wolves shook their heads in unison.
Then Rimuru couldn’t help but cover his head, somewhat helplessly.
“I knew they lacked common sense, but I didn’t expect them to be this ignorant.”
“Alright, stop complaining and quickly explain it to them.”
Morax reminded Rimuru.
“Forming a team means one Goblin and one Star Wolves make one team.
Two monsters per team.”
“Also, male Goblins and male Star Wolves will form teams responsible for hunting monsters and protecting the village’s safety.
As for female Goblins and female Star Wolves, they will be responsible for picking fruits and medicinal herbs and cleaning up village waste to ensure the village’s hygiene and medicinal needs.
Did you all understand?”
Rimuru patiently explained to them.
“Understood.”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Goblins and Star Wolves said in unison.
“Then you may begin forming your teams.”
Rimuru then said with a grand wave of his hand.
All the Goblins and Star Wolves began looking for their partners.
Watching their frantic movements, Rimuru felt a sense of home for the first time.
Seeing Rimuru’s complex expression, Morax gently embraced Rimuru and softly said,
“You won’t be alone anymore.
I will create our home with you.
I won’t let you be lonely again.
From now on, I am your family.”
