Capítulo 173: The girls are yours
"You two are early."
Tamazuki was surprised by how early the young master of the ogre group and Rimuru woke up.
"...yes."
The young master ogre had made his decision. It was a difficult decision as it meant acknowledging how hopeless and weakling he was. For him, who had always thought that they were the best race wasn't something easy.
Whether it was the time when his tribe was massacred by the orcs, or he was beaten badly by Tamazuki, he realized that he could do nothing with the way he was currently.
Thinking for the entire night, he realized that there was only one thing that he could do for the last remaining of his tribe members and also to avenge his tribe.
"You are the late one!" Rimuru scolded, and his mood, showing his mood definitely wasn't good.
"You never told me the exact time I should come." Tamazuki was speechless by this blind anger, but this was normal, especially with what he had done last night. "So, you haven't started to talk yet, right?"
"That's right. We are waiting for you."
"Then, you have made your decision?"
Tamazuki sat next to Rimuru naturally, changing into his chibi white tanuki form.
"..." Rimuru and the young master ogre.
Still, watching this form, Rimuru felt so comfortable for some reason.
However, the young master ogre was speechless since he didn't expect that Tamazuki would be a tanuki.
A slime and a tanuki.
This village... the young master ogre had to say it was amazing.
"Ogres are a battle species. We're willing to charge into the frontlines and fight for the people we serve."
The young master ogre sat on his knees while facing the two of them. "It'd be an honor to serve under strong masters." He bowed his head, showing his submission and resolution. "I accept your offer. All of us, the ogre tribe, will become your subordinates."
Tamazuki stared at the young master ogre and thought that this was what he would become if he was weak. He could only bow his head to the strong, working as their subordinates.
Did it feel good? Naturally, no.
Admitting how weak one was definitely wasn't something good.
It was bitter.
If the master was a good person, then it was good, but if the master was a bad person?
Watching the young master ogre, who bowed his head, Tamazuki thought that his decision to become strong was correct, and he knew that he needed to become stronger, so his fate wouldn't be in the hands of the others. He needed power, so he could protect himself and the people who had entrusted their lives to him.
Rimuru also thought the same, as he could see what kind of resolve the young master ogre came to when he had decided to bow his head like this.
"I have an idea. Summon all of the ogres here. Allow me to grant you all the symbolic proof of being my subordinates."
"Yes."
The young master ogre didn't question Rimuru and quickly walked out to call his people. When he left, Tamazuki asked, "You are going to name them?"
"Un." Rimuru nodded. "There are only six of them, so it should be easy, right?" He felt that it was a jiff to name all six ogres.
"There are six of them, but do you think that an ogre and a goblin are on the same level?"
"That's..."
Rimuru only realized this since how could a goblin and an ogre be the same? The two were on different levels. It was obvious, especially when one was staring at their appearance and strength.
"You will pass out again like before, you know? If someone attacks us at that time, what will you do?"
"..." Rimuru.
"Also, don't you want to see them evolve?"
"Will they evolve?"
"If the goblin can evolve, then why can't the ogre do it?"
"...you are right." Rimuru nodded. "Then, will you name them too?"
"Should I?"
"Eh? You don't want to name them?"
"How do you feel when you name someone?"
"Er..." Rimuru thought for a moment, rubbing his bouncy chin with his tentacle-like hand. "It's like something is taken from my body?"
"Is that something that has been recovered now?"
"Un."
"Well, let me try."
"That's good." Rimuru nodded since he also wanted Tamazuki to name some monsters as he felt that Tamazuki was a kind of lone wolf. Moreover, he also wanted to tie Tamazuki to this place as he had a feeling that Tamazuki might leave, so in case Tamazuki would really leave, he wanted to remind him that this place was his home, especially when he had his new family now.
Naturally, as they had met with Shizu, they asked whether it was possible to return to their original world, but the answer was obvious. No. It might be possible to be summoned to this world, but it wasn't possible to return currently.
Frankly, Rimuru wasn't sure whether Tamazuki wanted to return to the original world. Unlike him, who didn't think too much about his previous life and had accepted his life in this world, he wasn't sure what Tamazuki was thinking.
Either way, as Tamazuki was someone that he had thought of as his nephew or even a family in this world, he didn't want him to be alone.
"By the way, since you didn't sleep, you must have thought of a name for them, right?"
"...." Rimuru
Wasn't it your fault that he couldn't sleep?
Rimuru rolled his eyes. "I did think of their names. The red hair one is..."
As they talked about what kind of name they should give to the six ogres, the young master ogre soon came along with the other fives.
Rimuru also didn't waste his time and told them that he was going to name all of them.
"Please-Please wait for a moment! There are huge risks in naming!"
The ogre princess knew the risk that came from naming other monsters, but Rimuru was relaxed. "It's okay. It's okay. I have said that it isn't a problem, right?"
"But..."
Rimuru thought the risk that came from naming other monsters was only the huge Magicules consumption and entering a low activity mode, but what he didn't know was that if he named someone, his Magicules might be taken and would never return. Still, even so, it wasn't something that he should be worried about as he had Veldora inside him.
"Moreover, I am not going to name you alone. Tamazuki will also name you."
"Three will be named after me, and three will be named by Uncle. Are you all okay with that?"
"Or you don't want to be named by us?"
"That's..."
Who didn't want to be named by them?
Every monster longed for a name, but naturally, they wanted to be named by the strongest.
Whether Tamazuki or Rimuru had shown all of that.
"Please name me, Tamazuki-sama."
The young master ogre didn't even have a chance to talk, but the female purple-haired ogre suddenly kneeled in front of Tamazuki.
"..." Tamazuki.
Frankly, all the ogres were dumbfounded when they saw Tamazuki's real appearance, but it didn't matter, as the most important thing as a monster was their strength.
Still, the rest of the ogres were speechless by the purple-haired female ogre, who begged a name from Tamazuki.
"What are you getting nervous about? Don't you want to name them too?" Rimuru nudged Tamazuki's side since this guy was in silence.
"Is that okay with you, Uncle?"
"Why not? She asked you to name her, so just name her, okay?"
Frankly, Rimuru had a hard time imagining how this purple-haired ogre would become a beauty, so he didn't mind at all.
As for the princess ogre... Rimuru thought for a moment and felt that it was better to be named Tamazuki too. As for the guys, he would name them.
"Then, from now on, your name is Shion." Tamazuki put his paw on Shion's small horn.
"Thank you very much."
At that moment, Shion felt something inside her soul change.
Meanwhile, Tamazuki could feel that his Magicules were taken quite a lot, or rather he kept pouring his Magicules into Shion's body as he had a lot of them—with "Hole," as long as the Magicules existed in this world, he was infinite.
Even if the Magicules in this world were empty, he could also use the energy from another world.
Still, at that moment, Shion felt sleepy.
"Take a rest."
"Yes."
Tamazuki changed to his hybrid form, made a bed with his leaf then let her sleep there.
"Eh? Will they fall asleep like this?" Rimuru asked curiously.
"She might undergo an evolution."
"Really?"
"Well, you can observe them later, right?"
"That's true."
The two talked through telepathy, so the ogres didn't know what they were talking about. Still, after Shion, they started to name all of them.
Rimuru named the young master ogre with Benimaru, the blue-haired ogre with Souei, and the big ogre with Kurobee.
Meanwhile, Tamazuki named the old man ogre with Hakurou and the princess ogre with...
"From now on, your name is Shuna."
"Yes, thank you, Tamazuki-sama," Shuna answered with a bright, gentle smile.
By then, all of them felt sleepy before they started to evolve.
Tamazuki and Rimuru didn't bother them and left the house since there were many things that they had to do, and at the same time, they anticipated how they would evolve tomorrow.
