Chapitre 8: Shizue Izawa
<<In demon lord's castle, the quiet steps echoed ominously. It was clear that the demon lord had fled, abandoning his fortress. Left behind was a solitary figure, a rear guard who was evidently meant to be a sacrificial pawn.
There was a sense of conflict within her, unsure whether she served out of his own will or under the influence of the high-level flame elemental, Ifrit. She seemed resigned to her fate, accepting her role as a sacrifice without much resistance.
Rear guard had been left behind with orders to engage any intruders. Was it due to him pity her?. Perhaps there was a deeper plan at play, but the reasons remained elusive to the rear guard.
Upon meeting with Hero, despite her formidable powers, she knew she stood no chance against Hero. Yet, she chose to fight to the end, driven by a sense of duty and perhaps guilt for her past actions.
As the battle continued, it became apparent that her training under the demon lord's black knight had honed her skills, but it still wasn't enough.
Eventually, Ifrit's power waned, and the rear guard collapsed, spent and defeated. Hero approached her, expecting her to resign herself to her fate. Instead, she opened up, sharing her story and the torment she had endured. Her tale was one of suffering and servitude, of being summoned to this world and molded into a magic-born creature.
She was honest and the relief she seemed to feel in finally being heard. Her existence had been marked by loneliness and the struggle to maintain control over Ifrit's power. Despite everything, she sought validation and a sense of belonging, something Hero understood all too well.
Moved by her plight, Hero decided to show her compassion. Hero offered her a Mask of Magic Resistance, hoping it would help her regain control and suppress Ifrit's influence. The mask worked, and for the first time, she seemed to find peace.
Under Hero's care, she slowly began to recover, learning to trust and interact with others. She became a silent but reliable companion, always by Hero's side, hidden in a full-body robe. Though others saw her as a mysterious figure, Hero saw the potential and strength within her.
In time, she grew more confident and skilled, earning the respect of those around her. He was no longer just a magic-born rear guard; she had become the Conqueror of Flames, an elementalist of great renown..>>
Rimuru was revisiting one of his sealed memories about Shizue Izawa without our dragon knowing.
Coming back to the village, we moved the citizens to near sealed caves mouth.
Kaijin handled wood duties while the three dwarven brothers, who had been eyeing the females unsavorily, processed animal pelts into hobgoblin clothing.
From my memories I informed Mildo using thought communication, a way to make fertilizer out of people's dumps. Mildo was amazed to hear the idea from me.
The new town began to take shape. As I planned they were busy laying out the water and septic systems. Plans included a water-processing building and a septic chamber, while a temporary gymnasium housed the crew. The town's layout was a cross shape with a wide main street, ensuring easy movement and coordination.
Meanwhile me helping out in creating magic based convenience systems for everyday life and construction. Great sage got inspiration from anime and manga and using previous memories used creatorX to give out a printed plan to the dwarfs who were again stunned by the plan I (my skill ) single handedly come up with. It was a busy week.
While over at Blumund, Gido, a reconnaissance thief; Kabal, a defensive fighter who often joked and unreliable; and Elen, a sorceress skilled in unique magic and strategic planning set out with Shizu who joined their party as a temporary member, to Jura Forest .
...
After a while
...
Rimuru POV
I went out to meet the adventure trio and shizu knowning they will come. Using magic sense i could pretty much sense them. I witnessed Kabal poking a monster ants nest and rest of them running for life with him.
Shizue POV
I am currently running away from 13 Knight ants since one of these idiots poked the nest for no reason.
'Wait, why am i running with them i can kill them right?.'
I then stopped and turned around and engaged in the fight .
As I used fire element on my blade to burn 3 of them then sliced 4 of then seeing this 3 knight ant went away and 4 came towards me but suddenly, 'Why now ifrit not now I can't lose!!!'
As I failed to use ifrits power thinking I will die Suddenly all ants stopped in their tracks as they were pressed a pause button. Then I saw a Beautiful looking being with lavender hair walking all the way between the stagnant ants to near me then proceed to gave me a hand smiling; who looked no older the 13, saved me , but i feel flustered and peaceful for no reason.
He asked: "miss are you okay"
Then before i could reply Elen came jumping towards me and said a bit crying.
Elen: "Shizue san are you okay? Are you hurt or not ? And I am sorry for what happened!?" She was also worried for me... Heh .
The the person helped us spoke: "I am Rimuru. Are you guys lost if so I have my village nearby you can rest then go adventuring later ... "
Huh? A village in this Jura forest? How it seems suspicious.
Ellen: Wait you are not a human are you?
Rimuru: Yeah you can see from my pale green skin color I am not a human.
Ellen : So, you are?
Rimuru: "A slime. Temporary humanoid form is for easy to move around and communicate"
Then he transformed into slime form. An extremely rare lavender coloured slime.
Rimuru: "hajimemashite, ore wa suraimu no Rimuru warui suraimu janai yo"
(Nice to meet you I am Rimuru the slime and 'I am not a bad slime' ?)
Shizue: Pfft, Isn't japanese reference yukki taught me. This slime san is an otherworlder!!!??
Shizue: "Call me Shizu, if it is alright then please, these 3 are also tired from exhaustion."
I then assured my fellow team mates to come with slime san.
Rimuru POV
Well I used calm mind on ants as i helped shizu up and used localized full aura on them and used thought communication to command 'go back or die'. I lifted the calm mind and they instantly fled back. Well forest is for everyone right.This calm mind is overpowered as black lighting but It will depend on users energy level I think.
They followed me all the way to guest room i prepared before. They also suprised by direwolves, goblins,hobgoblins, goblinas , even dwarfs mixing among the crowd doing their job without any hostility or whatsoever problems.
3rd POV:
Rimuru asked adventure trio what happened and they answered that they all got mental fatigue from running from ants for 3 days.Their luggage is gone. When tried to sleep they were attacked again. Equipment broke. No strength and Hungry.
I can see pityness even in slime form from rimuru.
When arrived the Guests were treated with Roasted meat. Which the trio instantly fight over to eat.
Meanwhile Shizu and rimuru in slime form were conversing.
Shizue: So that statement you were saying is that japanese reference to a game. You by any chance an otherworlder perhaps?
Rimuru: Yes, but japanese in my second life and slime in my 3rd life.
Shizue:!!! You got to live three times? what a journey you had!
Rimuru: Not really I was a 25 year old office worker guy in my 1st life. Then i died due to electric shock, i think. Transmigrated to a 37 year old japanese in second life, but only for less than 5 minutes to get stabbed to death.
Shizue: 5 minutes why? And stabbed to death?
Rimuru: Well i was there since the beginning of his life i think, i am not sure, but our memories mixed at the exact 5 minutes before his life ends for some reason.And then i got stabbed to death while trying to protect my friend.
Shizue: ...Is that's so? ..That's really rough.
Rimuru: So tell me about yourself. You are reincarnated or summoned by any chance?
Shizue: Summoned . (.....Shizue explaining her life as stated above)
Rimuru: Well that's a lot worse than me though.Well let these 3 eat how about we go out for a walk for digestion?
They went outside and a place away from the huts being built. Rimuru showed her how japan is now from my memories.
Then he stopped.
Rimuru POV
'How am i going to inform you, well let me be frank.'
I turned to shizu and said "I have something to say to you."
"The power inside you is very unstable and ifrit may come out any moment"
"So you have known rimuru san" she replied painfully.
I can see ellen hiding behind the tree . Well it's okay.
"I can help you though" I said, and she replied "why do you want to help a stranger for no reason?" she exclaimed along with painfully crying to me stay away from me. I just stayed there sending a thought communication to her <It's going to be all right>
And ifrit exploded from within her forming a fire pillar.Kabal and her company along with ellen came crying "Shizu..."
I notified nearby goblin riders to prevent any one from coming near and notified Ranga to help the adventures to stay away.
Ranga stopped in their tracks and said." My master ordered me to stop you three"
While Ifrit seem to get angered for a slime who is just staring at him and used flare circle.But i didn't budge. I opened my mouth and said "Just Stop this already, Ifrit" and used soulforge harmony skill at it's maximum power on Ifrit. Ifrit instantly stopped it's motion. So Shizue gained control and she extinguished her flames and is knelt on the ground crying.
