So I got a new Unique Skill by the name of [Spatial Ruler]. It's a rather simple Unique Skill that basically lets me control space in a multitude of ways rather easily. I honestly think I could go head to head with some of the powerhouses of this world with just this one Unique Skill and my infinite magicules.
My defence problem was also solved with this skill. Now I'm constantly surrounded by a barrier that pretty much displaces me into a separate space. This way any attack that manages to hit me either dissapears or simply passes right through me.
How does it work? Pfft, I have no fucking clue. This is also why I'm not questioning HOW IN GANDALF'S GLORIOUS BEARD DID MIKOTO MANAGE TO KNOCK ME UNCONCIOUS-
*Ahem*
As I said, I'm not questioning it. I'm also deeply contemplating the effectiveness of my resistances, but when I tested it by standing in the middle of a magically induced dark lightning storm, I didn't feel a tingle. And yes, my barrier was deactivated during the test.
So yeah, another event chalked up to bullshit anime logic.
But I did get a lap pillow out of it, so my grievances are reduced.
ANYWAY.
It's been a couple of days since that incident. Everything is going smoothly and nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
*BOOM!*
???- "Oh no! Shion's cooking has gained sentience and is going on a rampage!"
*BOOOM!*
???- "Bad news! Milim killed it but took down several buildings with it!"
*BOOOOM!*
Treyni- "*In a Jojo voice* OH NO!"
You just came in here to say that, didn't you!? Go back!
*Sigh*
As I said, nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
I begin walking towards the screams of panic and I find myself standing in the middle of the street next to Milim and Shion looking at the destruction they caused.
In front of them are multiple ruins of buildings all destroyed and the corpse of… some… thing.
Do you remember Jabba the Hut? Yeah, it looks like a rounder version of him covered in lube.
Regardless, I activate [Belzebuth, Lord of Gluttony] and eat the 'thing'.
I write down some runes in the air with [Scathach, Lord of Runes] and they glow and disappear. Eventually, the buildings started 'rewinding' and fixing themselves.
Those runes didn't do much, they just fixed the damage Milim caused by reversing the state of the buildings. Luckily no one was hurt.
Rimuru- "Shion, Milim."
I speak out two names and the girls standing next to me freeze up.
Rimuru- "No meat buns for a week."
They drop to their knees in grief.
Regardless, ever since Milim started living here in Avalon, I've has a thought on my mind.
Should I save her pet dragon?
For context, a long time ago Milim was given a pet dragon by her father, Veldanava.
Yes, Veldanava is the creator of this world and yes, Milim is his daughter.
Moving on, Milim's parents died and that dragon ended up being the only family in this world that she had. Unfortunately due to a country's scheming, that dragon was killed and Milim went on a rampage, eventually fulfilling the criteria for evolving into a Demon Lord by bringing that country to ruin.
Yes yes yes, it's John Wick. I know.
Unlike John Wick, however, due to Milim's evolution, her pet dragon was able to be revived. But its spirit was heavily damaged, and thus it revived as a Chaos Dragon, completely devoid of consciousness and craving nothing but destruction. Milim reluctantly sealed it and that's the end of that.
HOWEVER.
OG Rimuru was able to 'repair' its spirit and revive it in the series. In fact, OG Rimuru's method of revival was the inspiration I used to revive Shizu.
Now the question is should I go save the dragon or should I wait until it happens naturally in canon…?
Hmm…
Meh, I'll think about it later.
Procrastination.
(A/N: Seriously though comment your thoughts on this topic.)
Anyway, today is a rather special day.
We have a festival planned. What about? I don't know, I wasn't paying attention during the meeting, But still, everyone decided to hold a festival throughout the entire city and everyone is recommended to join.
Lots of preparation has been done as well. People are rushing all over the place making their contribution. In fact, Shion's monstrosity was the result of her trying extra hard for the festival. She wanted to bake lots of food for everyone… Thankfully, it gained sentience…
You know her cooking is bad when you would prefer her cooking turning into a monster than eating it.
Luckily Shuna heard of Shion's attempt and is now looking after her to make sure something like this doesn't happen for the rest of the day. Shuna is very strict about cooking, after all…
Rimuru- "Sorry to make you do this…"
Shuna- "No no, don't mind it! In any case, I've finished your yukata."
Shuna says while handing over a blackwood box. I gratefully accept it before I open it slightly to have a peek at its contents.
Inside, I see a simple but elegant yukata. I asked Shuna to make something for me to wear during the festival. I thought it would be a nice change over just making something with [Ahura Mazda, Lord of Creation].
I look up again to see Shuna disappearing around the corner dragging Shion behind her.
I just wryly smile and use [Spatial Ruler] and teleport back home. The box in my hands disappears and my normal Demon-Lord-Rimuru-inspired attire disappears, replaced with a white yukata with gold flowers embroidered along the edges.
I tie my white hair up in a man bun and look in the mirror, my golden eyes staring back at me through it.
Damn, I'm one mean lady killer alright…
