Rimuru Pov:

Uh... how do I... as much as I enjoy this... (IT IS EMBARRASSING!!)

It's heaven, actually, but still... being on the lap of a beautiful woman...

Ahem!

"Etto... Velzard-san?"

Velzard: "What is it, Rimu-kun?"

...Rimu-kun... since when'd she call me that?

Velzard: "The moment I saw you"

Is she constantly reading my mind?

Velzard: "I have no reason to"

...

Velzard: "Pfft- I'll stop now", *says with light giggles*

???: 《Rimuru-sama》

《What is it, Gobta-kun?》

Gobta: 《We've found 4 human adventurers, Rimuru-sama. What should we do?》

《Welcome them to town. We don't want a fight with them now, do we?》

Gobta: 《Roger that》

Velzard: "Who were you talking to...?"

"Ehm... a subordinate of mine...?"

Velzard: "A girl?"

"A male goblin..."

Velzard: "Oh, good to know" "What did he tell you?"

"Well, apparently, they found 4 adventurers within the vicinity"

Velzard: (humans?) "Did they fight?"

"I don't think so, no"

"Well~ either way, I'll have Rigurd prepare a feast for them, must be tired"

《Rigurd》

Rigurd: 《Hai, Rimuru-sama. I'll have it arranged immediately!》

《Thanks, Rigurd》

Rigurd: 《My pleasure, Rimuru-sama》

Velzard: "You sure are quite welcoming to them... aren't you worried that they'll attack you?"

"Of course I am, but... we have you, right? Veldora too"

Velzard: *blush* "Fufu~! You can count on me! I'll freeze their bodies and shatter it"

"You don't have too but we're counting on you, Velzard-san"

Velzard: (Cuteee!!! Must protect!)

Gobta: "Rimuru-sama, we're back-su~!"

Velzard: (Hmph! Fun interrupter!)

Rimuru: "Hmm~? Ahh, right. lead them to one of the tents."

Gobta: "Gobzo already did. Rimuru-sama? Who is that woman with big brea- I mean... Nice woman...?"

Velzard: "..."

"A friend and a guest, treat her well, yeah?"

Velzard: (...)

Gobta: "Ahh, I see... Will Rimuru-sama come with us?"

"Yeah, to catch on their situation of course"

Gobta: "As expected of Rimuru-sama!", "Then me and the others will be going-su~"

"Yeah, stay safe!!"

Gobta: "Hai-suu~"

Well then~ *attempts to jump off of Velzard's arms*

...eh...? I can't get off?! Isn't her grip a bit too strong?!

Raphael: <<Notice... it is advisable for Master to let the individual "Velzard"...>>

(<<Why?!>>)

<<...>>

Velzard: *walks to a tent where the humans went in while holding Rimuru* "..."

| Inside the tent where the humans are eating |

"Yo~ you guys look fine" "Sorry for the food, it's all we can serve you since the village is currently under development"

The Adventurers: *swallows the food* "A talking slime?!"

Velzard: "Ara~ you guys have a problem with a talking slime?" *She asked with a smile that didn't reach her eyes*

The Adventurers: "N-no we were just shocked!"

"W-well you guys look comfortable. Welcome to the village! I may not look the part but I'm the leader"

The Adventurers: "A slime is the leader of goblins with direwolves' village?!"

Velzard: "You got a problem with my Rimu-kun, a slime, being a leader of a village?" (I'm already a bit pissed off from earlier but... they're pissing me off more!)

The Adventurers: "W-we're just surprised!!" *They said panicking*

"Yoshi, Yosh~ Break it up"

"Calm down, Velzard-san, it's fine" *waves slime hands*  "You guys too"

"I'm Rimuru, the slime" "Don't worry, I'm not a bad slime, you know!"

???: "Pfft-"

Velzard: "?" (What's up with her?) I don't get what's funny

Eh? Did she get my joke? The way she sits too... (Is she Japanese...?) actually..  how does she even eat with a mask on?!

???: "Shizu-san?"

Shizu: "It's nothing..." *glances at Rimuru before taking off her mask* "It's nice to meet you, Slime-san. I'm Shizu." *She smiled*

Velzard: (Slime...san... just like what those elves called my Rimu-kun...)

"U-un!  N-nice to meet you, Shizu-san!"

Velzard : ('san'?! just like how he refers to me?! just like that... another love rival huh...) "..."

"You guys can spend your time here as much as you want"

Leader: "Eh? Really? Thanks, Sir Slime!"

"Rimuru"

Leader: "Right, Sir Rimuru!"

I don't know if some of ya'll wondered why I haven't posted anything. But here's why

1. PLDT (wifi) made an error on our WiFi, and it's been 5 days, and they still haven't fixed it yet. (currently using data)

2. School matters

3. Lack of ideas and motivation

4. My mom

That's pretty much all as far as I remember, and yep... hope you guys understand-🥲
