章 14: 14: Primordials

My apologies for the oversight. Let me add more content to reach the desired word count:

Rimuru's Perspective:

After dealing with my siblings' love lives, I've been relaxing in my restaurant, which has actually turned into a legendary place. I also put up a bar at nighttime for our regulars. Well, the bar was for Veldora to kill time, and he was pretty good at being a bartender. Like last time, he set up a takoyaki stand and a barbecue stand. We also have a section for tea and coffee during the daytime.

And guess who's a regular? It's our blank, or the newly named Testarosa. Well, the Primordials from time to time come and enjoy working here. If I had to say, for four days every month, all the Primordials come for a 24-hour shift. Oh, right, speaking about Primordials, there are seven born Primordials and one ranked Primordial. Well, I say ranked because she is as strong as them and has an aspect to represent.

Testarosa, for example, represents death, so her subordinates have a buff when using death magic. But for her, it is lust, the aspect of lust. She has a skill called Charm World, which is similar to Diablo's Temptation World, and she uses her charm and battle experience to fight. She can even fight with Diablo head-on. So, as the Queen of the Underworld, I recognized her as a new Primordial, and she also happens to be a reincarnated soul. She was quite surprised when she learned that this is a different reality. Oh, by the way, her name is Sophie. She lives near Testarosa and Diablo's territory, and her subordinates are mostly those who were discarded by Diablo for being useless. Well, not useless, but rather their bosses have no idea how to put their talents to use. And so, I started living my life as an Archdemon and ruled over my territory for the next 10,000 years.

Sophie's Perspective:

Hey, sweetie, my name is Sophie, and I'm a Demon Peer and the Primordial of Lust and the Primordial Pink. I'm a reincarnator, and my past self's name was also Sophie, with no last name. Why, you ask? Well, I was an orphan and a stripper, as well as an otaku. Well, I died when I was crossing the street, thanks to Truck-Kun, and the next moment, I was standing in an open field under the red sky. I had the same appearance I had in my past life, and I was gorgeous, if I say so myself. From that day, I started to survive in this world. I learned swordsmanship by myself due to experience. After that, I faced Noir, who is now called Diablo, due to Rimuru-sama naming him. Well, let's say he and I fought for seven years straight. It's more like he was playing with me, but in those seven years, I evolved, and in the last months, I made him fight seriously. Trust me, that's an achievement no demon has done. After that, I was invited to his Leneige with a special position as his equal. After accepting his offer, my charm skill (one of the skills that she was born with) evolved into Charm World, which is pretty broken, if I say so myself. And after that, I started to create my own territory and subordinates. Well, most of my subordinates are people Testa and Diablo threw away, saying they have no use. Well, it's not like they are not. It's just that their bosses have no idea how to put their talents to use. And so, I started living my life as an Archdemon and ruled over my territory for the next 10,000 years.

*time skip at the arrival of Rimuru's restaurant*

Okay, what the heck is this? Isn't this a restaurant? And what the hell is an actual Japanese house doing near it? And why the hell is everyone looking so excited, like they just witnessed an epiphany? As I was in my own world, the restaurant door opened, and a beautiful blue-haired woman appeared. But why do I feel like I've seen this person before?

Rimuru: Oh, the five of you, come in. I'm sure you all would love to have some tea and snacks, and we can talk slowly since I decided to close the restaurant today just for you guys.

Each word she spoke may seem normal, but there was an authority that even we couldn't disagree with. So, we went inside. The inside of the restaurant is what I expected. It has a Japanese culture with a bit of modern culture mixed in. The whole place is quite spacious for about more than 100 people, and there are a few stalls that interest me, like a bar and a stadium with a mike on the stage. As we sat down, a man with blonde hair brought us some snacks and tea.

Rimuru: Thanks, Veldora. You can go now.

Wait a moment, did she just say Veldora? Isn't he the Storm Dragon?

Rimuru: So, since everyone is here, let's get down to business.

As soon as she said that, the aura around her began to change from a childish princess to a queen filled with authority.

Sophie watched Rimuru with a mixture of awe and admiration. She had heard tales of Rimuru's power and influence, but seeing it firsthand was another matter altogether. The way Rimuru commanded respect and attention without even raising her voice was truly remarkable. Sophie couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for this powerful figure who had shaped the world in ways she could only imagine.

As Rimuru began to speak, Sophie listened intently, hanging on every word. She was eager to learn more about the reason for their gathering and what role she might play in Rimuru's plans. Sophie knew that Rimuru had a reputation for being wise and strategic, and she was eager to see what insights she might offer.

Meanwhile, Veldora, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, felt a surge of excitement. He had always admired Rimuru's strength and charisma, and he was eager to see what plans she had in store. Veldora knew that Rimuru was a force to be reckoned with, and he was eager to lend his support however he could.

As Rimuru outlined her plans, the group listened attentively, nodding along with her words. They knew that Rimuru was a visionary leader, and they were eager to follow her lead. With her guidance, they were confident that they could overcome any challenge that came their way.

And so, as the meeting drew to a close, the group felt a renewed sense of purpose. They knew that they were part of something much larger than themselves, and they were determined to do whatever it took to help Rimuru achieve her goals. With her leadership and their unwavering support, they were ready to face whatever the future held.
