But what did Slime do wrong?

The conversation with Asakura Hao did not help Rimuru to solve many doubts... On the contrary, Rimuru only felt that he was more confused.

So the one who was conceived and will be born in this world is not the Abe Seimei he knew?

With such doubts in mind, Rimuru brought Veludra back to Yokohama.

After all, judging from the current situation, it doesn't look like he can continue to travel safely.

Moreover, perhaps because of the previous conflict with Limulu, the feather fox has been very peaceful recently—or rather, it has disappeared at all. Not only has it stopped hunting live livers, it has even stopped hunting. It's not even showing up, it's quiet, there is no sound at all.

Limulu slowly knocked out a question mark:?

also.

The time he traveled with Veludra was not short, and now it was almost the end of the year, so it was time to go back because of emotion and reason, and we all welcomed the arrival of the new year together.

"Ah... what should Nianyu prepare? If you just give money, I always feel that there is a little less heart in it..."

Moreover, Rimuru is not the one who treats his only young disciple badly, and the Tohsaka family only sent Tohsaka Sakura to Limuru to study, and if it is not true, then don’t want Tohsaka Sakura—— Of course, the little girl would not be lacking in money expenses on weekdays.

In this case, Nian Yu should of course spend more thought and effort.

Limuru murmured, thinking about options one by one, but they were quickly rejected by himself.Every one picked out seems to be a little bit worse, at least not up to the standard that Limulu thinks is "enough to give to Sakura".

That's a bit of a pain mask!

When Rimuru was in such distress, Veludra poked his head over from the side: "Rimru, what are you doing?"

He rested his chin on the top of Limuru's head, without any intention of restraining his strength.Limulu only felt a heavy weight on his head, and his whole body was pushed forward, and he couldn't help but let out a "huh".

"Veludora?"

Although she complained like this, Rimuru did not make any move to throw Veludra off her body. Instead, she seemed to silently let Veludra's behavior go. This kind of silent connivance is at best a nasal sound of doubt.

"What are you doing, Rimuru?"

Veludra stretched out his arms from both sides of Rimuru's waist, then with a little force, he wrapped around Rimuru's waist, locking the boy tightly in his arms.

There is a tacit understanding between Veludra and Rimuru that cannot be mistaken or ignored. Even if such a move was made, Rimuru didn't even look back, but let out a long sigh.

"I'm thinking about what to choose for Sakura's jade—"

Limuru replied.

Veludra sat down on the carpet with his legs crossed, and hugged Rimuru in his arms like a doll.

He brushed against Limulu's neck, and poked his head forward. From a distance, the actions of the two of them were too intimate, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were lingering.

"Nian Yu?"

Veldora repeated this unfamiliar word to him.

"what is that?"

"Well."

Rimuru paused for a moment, then remembered that Veludra should be unfamiliar with these words.

"Nianyu is a unique custom in this world. When the New Year is coming, the elders will give a sum of property to the younger generation at home to welcome the New Year. It also has the meaning of exorcising evil spirits and protecting peace. in."

"oh oh!"

Veludra may not understand, but this does not prevent him from making a request to Rimuru: "I want it too!"

Rimuru: "...I really like to join in the fun when it comes to this kind of thing, Veludra."

"Really, I shouldn't be the one who gave you Nianyu, this relationship is not right at all!"

Limuru complained like this, but in the end, he couldn't resist Veludra's eager gaze, and he was defeated and made a compromise: "Okay, okay, I understand, I will give it to you as well." You are ready!"

Satisfied, Veludra withdrew his gaze, and showed a sunny and cheerful smile, as if the person who gave the silent threat with his eyes was not him at all.

Rimuru: Ah, there is one more thing that needs to be bald!

"Will Limuru come back for the New Year?"

Osamu Dazai poked his head halfway out from behind the sofa and asked.He seemed to be lying on his back, holding a book whose cover could not be seen clearly in his hand, and he had a very happy atmosphere lingering around him.

"Well, this is of course. The Chinese New Year is coming, I will definitely come back and spend it with you."

"After all, you are my clan, right?"

Although the total number of this clan is not a few.

Ah, but speaking of which...

Rimuru was lost in thought.

When he was in Ping'an capital before, did he transfer part of his power to King Ma Cang Ye by mistake, causing the other party to become his own clan?

Almost at the same time when Limulu was thinking this way, the voice of the person he had just passed through in his mind rang in his ears: "In this case, can I also share a handful of Nianyu? "

"Hey?"

Limulu was a little surprised and looked towards the direction of the sound, and saw Asakura Hao squatting on the edge of the window, smiling and waving at him.

"I don't need to prepare Nianyu for you, do I?"

Limuru asked a little frantically.

The man outside the window chuckled, and before Limulu, the host, could come forward, he opened the window very familiarly, and then jumped in easily.

Osamu Dazai, who was still paralyzed on the sofa like a salted fish, suddenly became alarmed, like a hamster that suddenly found a stranger intruded into his territory, all the hairs on his body stood up, Like a plush ball.

"Rimuru!"

Osamu Dazai was nagging.

"Why is this guy here?"

Even though Osamu Dazai himself is classified as "dangerous" in the eyes of outsiders, this does not prevent him from expressing resistance and resistance to Asakura who is also close to Rimuru.

It can be said to be a very double standard!

Asakura lowered his eyes and glanced at Osamu Dazai indifferently.

"Heh...human beings."

Asakura let out a light snort.

Originally, he had heard too many people's hearts because of the ability of "spiritual vision", and almost instinctively felt disgusted and avoided the existence of human beings.

What's more, if ordinary people still only have some dark, gloomy and bad emotions on their bodies, then Osamu Dazai is a black ball.

This does not simply refer to those karmic obstacles wrapped around Dazai Osamu's body that are as thick and solid as armor, but refers to Dazai Osamu who is standing here now, no matter how much he tries to restrain his nature and change his behavior pattern , trying to look like a normal person, can't hide the fact that he himself is standing in the abyss and trying to gaze upwards - such a fact.

And that happened to be what Ma Canghao resisted and hated the most.

As for Osamu Dazai, an existence like Yoshi Asakura who is arrogant, aloof, and condescending with a god-like appearance overlooking the sentient beings below is exactly the existence that he cannot develop a good impression of.

They don't even need the catalyst of Limulu, and they are enough to hate each other.

Limulu sensed this sinister atmosphere in time: "Hey..."

He tried to stop it.

"Stop having conflicts like this after Chinese New Year! Everyone should get along well!"

Osamu Dazai changed his face first, and moved to Limuru's side, like a cunning fox: "Okay, I will listen to Limuru."

Ma Cang let out a good hehe, extremely disdainful of this.

"I'm here this time, but I have a serious business."

Asakura's good tone sounded a little careless: "If you want to thoroughly investigate the matter of Hagiro and Abe Seimei, I can recommend a good candidate for you, Rimuru."

"Guaranteed... to know all the details of the whole thing."

Saying this, Asakura licked the corners of his lips towards Osamu Dazai, revealing a very ironic smile.

There is no need to say anything, Osamu Dazai has already read the undisguised and bright meaning from it.

[A childish and boring trick. 】

[Those who can really be useful and will be valued more are only those who can play a role. 】

[I only know how to wag my tail and beg for mercy, but I'm destined not to get too much attention. 】

Ma Canghao frowned.

[After all, in the end, they are just mortals who are useless to us—that’s all. 】

Asakura uttered such words silently, then without even looking at him, he passed Osamu Dazai as if nothing had happened—then, he stopped in front of Rimuru.

Rimuru: "...Huh? Who is it?"

"Today's Kanto, although on the surface it is garrisoned by the Huakaiyuan family, who is in charge of black and white, but secretly it is like the Heianjing a thousand years ago, a kingdom of demons and ghosts."

"The lord of demons and monsters in the extreme east has formed a big net, covering everything in it."

"And this general in the form of [family], with the connection of surname and blood, will be no stranger to Limuru."

Ma Canghao squinted his eyes, and remembered that he and Limulu went to the feast of the ghost king.

"The master of Kanto, the Nuliang group, the big demon Hualao."
