"Let's get to the point. May I ask why all of you are here?" Rimuru could let Raphael analyze what happened later, but now he had to deal with the questions in front of him.

Rimuru demanded answers from Fuze, Yuuki and Youm.

Even though they came here together, they seemed to have different intentions. Fuze was the representative of Blumund, a Human nation which shared its border with the Great Jura Forest.

Meanwhile, Yuuki followed his own curiosity, and it led him here. Youm's intention was not as clear as others'. Rimuru hoped that they were being truthful about it, but if they lied, it would be understandable as well.

"Officially, I came here because the Baron of Blumund asked me to. But you can ask for those details from Fuze-san over there," said Yuuki.

He continued, "But personally, I want to see Rimuru-san in person. I want to know if you are just like Shizu-san said or not."

"And what do you think?" Rimuru asked back. He was surprised that Yuuki already heard of him from Shizue. Personally, he wanted to ask just how much she talked about him. But it wouldn't be appropriate in front of other guests.

"I am impressed."

This city was only built in just a few months, but it was this advance. During the walk here, Yuuki also saw a food he used to have in his old world, Japanese cuisine.

Yuuki and Hinata attempted to make food from their home once, but it failed. And Rimuru appeared out of nowhere, completing what they couldn't.

He was jealous, but he was also grateful that someone succeeded. That meant recreation was possible.

When Yuuki asked for a detail, he got this reply from Rimuru. "Some ingredients are just unobtainable, especially the spices. But I try my best to replicate the taste. If you have had the original before, you can tell. There'll be a slight difference."

There was a lot to do before that food would be perfect, and Rimuru wouldn't stop until he got them on his dish.

"Then try your best, I can't wait to enjoy those foods."

"Well, it would be better if you lend some help."

Yuuki shrugged as if he didn't care. "Sorry, I already have a lot on my plate, being the Grandmaster and all."

'This bastard...' Rimuru was annoyed. It wasn't like he didn't understand Yuuki. He was a ruler, and he assumed that a man who controlled the large organization that was the Free Guild was probably as busy as him.

'But you can at least be honest.'

"Rimuru-san," Fuze spoke up. "Just like the Grandmaster said, I am here by the request of an old friend. He wants to know what this nation's stance is." His voice was serious and straightforward.

Blumund was just a small nation. Concerning about their safety and stability happened often, this wasn't different.

The Nation of Monsters would only gain more strength and influence as time passed by. So the decision should be made quickly, that was Fuze's thought.

'If he goes on a rampage, can Blumund's military take him down? No. This is the Slime that bested the Orc Lord, Blumund alone doesn't stand a chance.'

If that really happened, the only chance they had was to ask a favor from the Council of West or the Western Church.

'But the Grandmaster isn't worried at all. Even Kaval and his group are keeping their cool.' Fuze seemed to be the only one in such distress. Friend or foe, the decision was up to Rimuru's answer.
