they are staring at the death right now. sweating profusely, their eyes looking in all directions. not wanting to make contact with rimuru.

Rimuru: *clears throat* ahem...

Paimon: eeek!?

the blond traveler and the little fairy flinched at rimuru.

Rimuru: care to explain?

Paimon: t-that's just a figure of speech!

Aether: ...

Paimon: hey, you said something too! *nudges aether's shoulder*

Aether: well... *looks away*

Signora: huh, don't get too cocky because you're the sixth! *frowns*

???: oh ho? is the fair lady jealous of my position? *chuckles*

Signora: you!

???: hahaha, of course you are. a mere mortal who envies the power of a god *grin*

the fair lady then turned around, annoyed.

Signora: don't mess up the plan...

she started walking away.

???: that was supposed to be my line. but, i'll take your words...

back to the main story. after some talk with rimuru, aether asked him what he was doing here.

to which he replied: "taking care of something" and then disappeared like wind.

just before he gone, rimuru gave a nod to dino.

which is... i don't know.

Paimon: what's with that guy... just showing up and then leave...

Aether: must be great, huh. since he owns this world, that means he can control everything *sigh*

Paimon: carefree... but that's rimuru for you! *giggles*

in the end, aether continued his training with the resistance army.

...

...

Paimon: ohh! so these are the ruins related to the archon war kokomi was talking about.

for real, these are just ordinary ruins.

Aether: suspicious... let's start the investigation!

after solving puzzles, defeating huge monsters, they finally found-

Paimon: teppei! what are you doing here?

the little fairy flew up to the said man followed by aether from behind.

Teppei: *cough* wow, didn't expect to see you guys here.

Aether: that's what i wanted to say.

Paimon: so, let paimon guess... you were assigned by kokomi to make a surprise attack on the shogun's navy?

Teppei: *cough* that's right. my squad and i were just resting after fighting with some spies sent by the shogunate.

they couldn't help but notice him. teppei was an energetic fellow. but his expression said otherwise.

Paimon: hey buddy, are you okay? you're not sick, are you?

the little fairy fly close to his shoulder and massaged him gently.

Aether: you don't have to push yourself, teppei *smile*

Teppei: haha, thanks but i'm fine. it's probably the weather.
