(3rd POV)

"Welcome to Orario"

Finn the captain of the Loki Familia stated as the city came into view a city reminiscent of a medieval city in the past with multiple adventurers walking through the city with swords, shields, heavy armor, enormous bags and multiple people of different races which made everyone in the group admire the city

The city was bustling with tons of people, vendors with wooden stalls sell their wares to these parties of adventurers who bought them with a coin similar to the Cardinal world

"Well this is where we part ways" Finn said once more him and the Loki familia faced a crowd that was started to form with the murmurs of other adventurers, talking about the Loki Familia's return from their expedition, which only made Rimuru's group uncomfortable

Shizu in particularly found the new territory they had found themselves in felt similar to the days when she was adventuring all by her lonesome back in her prime with a huge difference this time the fact that she was with her family or group of people she most cherished made her extremely excited

Hinata felt that this situation was to be expected coming from a god like being like Rimuru her new "lover" however seeing a new world come into view was very surprising to say the least usually she would be training her knights around this time so taking a relaxing break was something her was rather looking forward to it just so happened that her "lover" and the handful of people she cared for were with her as well

It's not to say she didn't love Luminous however there were times when she would get under her skin quite a few times in fact yet Hinata could not say she didn't respect the demon lord for taking her in and giving her purpose

Hinata also felt that this place could as so be a go place to enjoy herself though that would easier said than done reasons unclear at the moment

Chloe was feeling indifferent about the place they found themselves in but ecstatic about the idea of vacation itself with the group of people she loved more than the world itself that and the fact Leon would finally be of her back though no matter what she still loved him only as a brother

Rimuru on the other hand after seeing the amount of people staring at him and his group walking beside the 2nd strongest Familia in Orario was feeling a sense of nostalgia bring back an unwanted memory of the trauma from when he attained a party with Myourmiles as the host

Rimuru sensing a crowd about to overrun them decided to take his leave with his party the reason being to avoid unwanted attention with the memory of the party fresh on his mind

"hey guy lets go" Rimuru said said calmly however his face stated otherwise at the fact the ever growing crowd was forming quicker and quicker something he would love to avoid

"Sure I see the crowd forming I don't want to stay here much longer" Surprisingly Hinata added to Rimuru's suggestion

Well not really surprising considering her personality Rimuru thought "you were thinking about something rude weren't you" Hinata said coldly "it-ts just your imagination" Rimuru staggered out saying the lines a certain Manas would say to get out of trouble

"we don't really have time for this the crowd is almost fully formed and if you guy don't want to be here we should leave like right now" Chloe remarked intern saving Rimuru's life in the process
