But what did Slime do wrong?

Limu faced Osamu Dazai who was kneeling in front of him. To be honest, he was a little surprised, but after a while, he was relieved again, and stretched out his short hand with the intention of patting him. Osamu Dazai's head.

"Well, I see." Limulu said, "Then in the days to come, I hope we can get along happily."

Osamu Dazai nodded obediently, then stood up, and looked at Merlin beside him with a very proud look.

Needless to say, Merlin has already seen clearly the meaning in his eyes.

Those eyes were shining brightly, full of provocation and complacency... Maybe there was some pressure in it.

Osamu Dazai picked up Limuru and hugged him in his arms. Then he said to Merlin very naturally and skillfully, as if he was already the owner of this place: "Look, as My servant, it is quite natural for me to act on behalf of my king, right?"

"Especially..." Osamu Dazai emphasized his tone, "those who foolishly mistook pearls for fisheyes because of the unequal exchange of information should be taken precautions."

"that……"

Rimuru was weak as if he wanted to refute something, but Osamu Dazai covered his mouth involuntarily.

"You just need to stay quietly and be a mascot." Dazai Osamu coaxed, "Leave all these trivial matters to me."

Limulu: ...I think something is wrong, but I can't figure it out after a while.

And Osamu Dazai seemed to be able to guess what was going on in Rimuru's heart, and before he could speak, he blocked all of Rimuru with soft but irrefutable words. words.

"Don't worry." Osamu Dazai said, "You will definitely not suffer."

Rimuru: ...But I feel that something is even more wrong! !

Merlin didn't say a word, just watched the interaction between them silently like talking about cross talk with his eyes, and then said after a while: "I didn't go to seek the root cause for my own sake. You don't have to be so guarded."

Osamu Dazai: "Oh, is it for world peace?"

He said this just for the sake of ridicule. In fact, even the person who said it never really took this unrealistic joke seriously; The words of Osamu Dazai came down.

"That's right." Merlin said, "It is indeed for the sake of world peace, that's why people like me have the audacity to make such a request."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Yes.

Give you a ladder, can you really push your nose to your face like this?

"Don't you believe it?" the young man with rainbow hair said calmly, "That's right, no matter who hears it, they will think it's a lie."

"So……"

He raised his hand, and a staff nearly one person tall appeared in his hand.

The magician waved the staff in his hand, and immediately there were countless pink petals falling down. After a white light, what appeared in front of them was a story about a young girl's journey.

She set foot on the majestic snow mountain and became the only savior of the world since then, and then began to fight for the future of mankind.

The slender, weak girl, who knew nothing about magic before, forcibly trained herself to become a tough warrior. She has traveled all over the seven continents and four oceans, from ancient times all the way to the present.

After this scene, Merlin asked: "I don't know if this can be used as evidence to convince you?"

Judging by Osamu Dazai's expression, he was obviously not very satisfied; but for Rimuru, this was enough - it could even be said to have sufficient persuasion.

"Yes... Miss Lixiang needs roots?"

Merlin was silent for a while, thinking that Limuru probably misunderstood something; but the possible consequences of this kind of misunderstanding are undoubtedly what he would like to see, so Merlin also acquiesced in this mistake, let It will go wrong as long as it goes wrong.

"You could say the same."

The half-succubus answered slyly.

Rimuru jumped down from Dazai Osamu's arms, and when he landed, he turned into a human form, and stretched out his hand towards Merlin.

"Then, please take it to your heart's content—everything I have, and everything that can help you."

"As long as it is used by Ms. Lixiang, as long as it can help [saving humanity], then please take it according to your needs." Limulu said generously, "I don't mind."

What he said was so generous, without the slightest hesitation or reluctance, even the guy who was planning to take advantage of it secretly was surprised by Zhijiao Merlin.

"...It's too kind, isn't it?" Half Dream Demon muttered, "Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?"

"What does it matter?" Limulu asked back, "Even if you really deceived me, I wouldn't have much loss; but on the contrary, if everything you said is true, Then if I do this, it will be more or less stupid, and it will bring some help to the last master, right?"

"More or less, it can make her journey a little easier, right?"

"If that's the case." The water-colored long-haired boy smiled, "Then I am willing to bear the consequences of being deceived."

Merlin looked at Limuru for a long time, put his fingers together, and nodded towards Limuru's brow.

"Ah, really...are you an idiot?"

Merlin sighed and took Rimuru's hand.A wisp of black mist that seemed to have a faint blood color overflowed from the place where their hands were clasped, writhing as if alive.

Merlin opened his other hand, and the wisp of mist floated towards him as if sucked by a wind hole, and finally landed firmly on Merlin's open palm.

And when this wisp of mist—or, to describe it in a more precise language, it should be called the root—falls into Merlin's hands, his entire appearance also undergoes a great change.

The magic is like magic, the body of the succubus, which was not much different from Limuru's youth, seemed to be stretched and extended in an instant, but in a few breaths, it became a tall and long-legged adult The appearance of a person.

I don't know if it's Limuru's illusion, but with such a change in appearance, Merlin has also become frivolous and...uh, a little strange to him.

"...Merlin?"

Rimuru called his name with some hesitation.

"It's me." The half-dream demon responded to Limulu's words in an extremely cheerful tone that made people wonder why he was so happy, "It doesn't take too much effort to get the root cause. Very good."

It's as if someone deliberately planned a terrible scam, just to easily take away the extremely important root from Limulu...

Fortunately, Merlin is not that kind of person after all. Although the way he speaks and handles things often causes people to misunderstand, in essence, he is probably still a good order, and can be attributed to the "justice" side for the time being.

The strand of roots fell into Merlin's hands, and then peeled off layer by layer towards the sides, like a blooming flower.

Merlin folded his palms together and covered the flower. He could only vaguely see light leaking from his fingers, but it was not clear, and most of them were cut off.

His figure began to gradually become ethereal and illusory, gradually turning towards a transparent appearance, as if he was about to disappear from here.

"Ah, it seems that after reaching the [goal], I should also go back to my correct place where I should be."

Merlin blinked one side of his eyes at Limuru, he was a very skilled and natural wink.

"Then, I look forward to seeing you next time we have a chance, little slime."

In the last gap before he left, he stretched out his hand, and put a pale pink Strelitzia japonica behind Limuru's ear.

"For your journey." A smile flowed from the magician's lips, "I offer the blessing of flowers."

At the same time as the voice fell, Merlin's figure finally completely faded away, as if he had never appeared here from the beginning.

The surrounding space returned to its original dark appearance, and when Rimuru and Osamu Dazai looked at each other at a loss, there was a very slight "click" sound coming from the ear.

"Ok?"

The "click" sound was very faint at first, but it didn't take long for it to become clear and loud.Limulu was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to be stunned by something, so he said to Osamu Dazai in an urgent tone, "Give me your hand!"

"?"

Although he was puzzled, Osamu Dazai obediently obeyed Rimuru's order and grabbed the hand that was handed over by him.

In the next second, the entire space shattered, and Limuru spread out his wings behind him, allowing him and Osamu Dazai to fly steadily without falling headfirst.

The golden sunlight shone on them, and Osamu Dazai looked down from this high-altitude angle, and found that the city below was the Yokohama he was familiar with.

Limuru landed with him, and when his feet were firmly on the ground, the boy with blue hair turned his head and showed a sunny smile at Osamu Dazai: "Okay, let's start from that dream. Back in the world!"

"Then from now on...you will be my clan member?"
