But what did Slime do wrong?

Having been directly uttered by his wife for the long-standing expectation in his heart, even a person like Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

It's true that Emiya Kiritsugu didn't feel that there was anything invisible about his wish, and he wasn't the kind of person who would be embarrassed.It's just that, for some reason, it still feels a little... strange to be said so bluntly.

"I don't think your purpose has anything to do with the Holy Grail War."

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Rimuru closely, looking at him, he probably wanted to shake out everything Rimuru knew in his stomach.

"You are really weird——"

Rimuru scratched her hair, looking a bit embarrassed.

"I never said, why did I come here for [Holy Grail War]!"

He complained: "After all, I don't know anything about the Holy Grail."

Emiya Kiritsugu twitched his eyebrows slightly.

That's right, speaking of it this way, it seems that he has some preconceived ideas... He just thought that at this point in time, coming to Fuyuki City must be for the Holy Grail, but with the magic power of the young man in front of him, maybe he doesn't care about it.

Because the so-called "Holy Grail" is to absorb the spiritual power of the earth's veins, and after 60 years of accumulation, use this magic power to provide energy for the servants who came into the world, and at the same time use this huge magic power to open the way to the third law. The gate, so as to achieve the so-called "wish-fulfilling" magic creation.

Emiya Kiritsugu had never seen or felt the existence of the Holy Grail with his own eyes, but when he looked at Rimuru standing in front of him, even with his eyes closed, he could feel the magical power rising from the opponent.

He couldn't help thinking, if we put the boy who called himself Rimuru together with the Holy Grail to compare who has more magical power...

Emiya Kiritsugu actually had a ridiculous idea, he thought Rimuru could win.

"Then, why did you come to Fuyuki? How can Fuyuki help you achieve the so-called [world peace]?"

Of course it was impossible for Rimuru to confide everything to Emiya Kiritsugu—not to mention that he himself had only a half-knowledge about this matter.

"Hmm—actually, I didn't come to this city out of my own will."

He replied.

"Because someone told me..."

"Seven days later, a [natural disaster] will occur in this city."

"Natural disaster?" The other three people present repeated in unison.

"Yes, a natural disaster."

"That is a natural disaster in the name of [World's Malice]—and the purpose of my appearance in this city is to distort this natural disaster and prevent it from causing huge damage to the world."

Artoria asked abruptly, "Why you?"

Artoria's intuition is enough to tell her that so far, everything Limuru said is true, and there is no lie in it.

But this made the girl king even more unbelievable.

Because, [Maliciousness of the World]—this kind of thing that sounds extremely difficult, and it has been dubbed the name of [Natural Disaster], no matter how you think about it, it is obvious that it is a big trouble.

And this kind of trouble was handed over to the young man in front of him to solve it?

She looked at Limuru, who was not as tall as herself, with a little disapproval on her face.

Although Arturia herself ascended the throne at a very young age and became the king who ruled the entire country, she didn't take it for granted.

When this happened to her, Arturia could endure all her sufferings and be happy, but if it happened to someone else, then the girl king would have a sincere worry and intolerance .

However, facing Artoria's question, Limuru didn't seem to think it was a problem: "Well, why can't it be me?"

The delicate and handsome boy like an elf pressed his chest with one hand, raised his eyes, and showed a smile that was slightly different from his previous smiles.

"Killing wolves and tigers...ah no, you shouldn't have said that."

"However, isn't it natural to use [natural disasters] to deal with [natural disasters]?"

When he said it, he said it lightly and casually, as if he was just saying, "It's a beautiful day today"—something of that sort.

However, the hidden meaning revealed from the words does not require too much thought, it is enough to make anyone who hears and understands the meaning feel terrified.

Because this is clearly saying——

The boy named Rimuru is an existence that can also be named "Natural Disaster".

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Rimuru with a scrutinizing gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he finally asked: "What does the world's malice mean?"

Rimuru: "Ah this."

Rimuru: "...Eh?"

Don't ask me!I don't even know what I'm here for!Apart from that ambiguous reminder, I'm also blind to the current situation, huh?

Limuru complained crazily in her heart.

[Solution, the system task has changed. Would you like to check and analyze the reason for the change? ]

The voice of the King of Wisdom rang right in Limuru's ears.

"Analysis analysis! Of course analysis!"

Limulu responded hastily while looking through her system tasks.

[Natural disaster: the malice of the world. 】

[Estimated time of arrival: six days and four hours. 】

[Reverse progress: 5%]

The passage of time is a normal state, and Limuru is not surprised by it; but the "distorted progress" that has changed a little bit has grabbed all of Limuru's attention.

"Reverse the progress... moved?"

But no matter how Limuru recalled it, she couldn't figure out what she had done to promote the progress of the distortion.

After all, summing up his 20 hours, it seems that only the meeting with Irisviel and the others deserves to be specially mentioned, and...

Hassan who was swallowed in one gulp.

Was it one of those two things that drove the progress?

Rimuru assumed the pose of a thinker.

If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter...

Limuru felt a headache for a while, there is not so much Hassan to swallow for him, right?

——Actually, in terms of Hassan's characteristics, there are still some.

Fortunately, the King of Wisdom saved Hassan from the dilemma of being swallowed by Limuru in time: [Solution, it is currently speculated that the change in progress is caused by contact with Irisviel and others. ]

[In addition, Arturia's existence form is also different from that of normal humans, and can be explored. ]

"what happened?"

Emiya Kiritsugu is such a person who is good at observing, plus he is currently focusing all his attention on Rimuru's body, naturally he can easily capture the changes in Rimuru's emotions.

However, Rimuru didn't intend to hide them from the beginning. Since Emiya Kiritsugu asked, she told him her discovery openly: "I found out that because of meeting you, I'm sorry for you. The distorted progress of the [natural disaster] that may come has changed."

He bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the mask hanging on one side of his face, making a crisp sound.

After a while, Limuru seemed to have made some kind of decision.

His gaze swept around the three people in front of him, and landed on Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya Kiritsugu who was suddenly paid attention to slowly knocked out a question mark: "?"

"Nah." Limuru leaned in front of him, pointed at himself and began to ask, "Can I join you?"

Emiya Kiritsugu:?

"That's right." Limuru gestured, "Let me see if I can continue to unlock the progress through more contact with you—this is also for world peace!"
