But what did Slime do wrong?

According to Zhu Xiang's original intention, she actually wanted to get close to Limuru.Whether because of Limuru's own power attribute or because of his cute appearance as a slime, there is no doubt that he is very popular with Zhu Xiang, who is a girl and a dragon.

However, it is a pity that the dragon that left the breath on Limuru's body is so powerful and domineering that as long as Zhu Xiang is too close to Limuru, he can detect that kind of fine-grained coldness. The needle laid a net-like warning, so Zhu Xiang had to retreat to avoid his sharp edge.

The little girl felt a little wronged immediately. Although she didn't show it on her face, the luster on the scales under her eyelids seemed to have dimmed a lot, indicating that her mood was not too good.

"What's the matter, Zhu Xiang?"

An Ruitian held Limulu in her arms, and bent down to look at the little girl.

"The scales are all dark, so it won't look good?"

Nine-tailed Sky Fox said with a smile.

Zhu Xiang looked at Ah Tian with those big eyes—or, in other words, focused on Limulu who was being held in Ah Tian's arms.I understand that such a kind of targeting may only be felt by myself who is also a dragon, but it is invalid for other races.

……Why.

Could it be that it only hangs in the nest?

Have the ability to bully other races.

Zhu Xiang didn't know that Veludra did this because... If it was too obvious, then Limuru would notice it, and it would inevitably be another reprimand.

Veludra, as one of the four dragon species, possesses the largest reserve of magic energy, but he has nothing to do when facing this slime, which is not as big as his claw, obediently The appearance of his training is not at all like the evil dragon that summoned storms and devoured the country in the records of ancient times, but it looks like something... a domestic dog on a chain.

Even if it was such a warning, they only dared to make some small tricks in secret, and did not dare to bring it up on the stage.

This is the bond and connection between Veldora and Rimuru that cannot be understood by outsiders.

Earl D looked at Limulu in Ah Tian's arms, very jealous.Earl D wanted to be closer to these non-human races than humans, let alone the only slime in the world.

It is extremely rare and precious.

"Ah Tian, ​​give Master Rimuru to me."

Count D said.

"I will bring the best service to Rimuru-sama."

****

Ahhh.

Limuru thought.

This may be heaven.

He is now floating in the hot spring pool with a towel on his head, and flower petals floating on the water around him. Earl D knelt by the pool and was giving Limuru a massage attentively, while delicacies were placed on the side like running water.

"Hmm... woo..."

Limulu's whole body was pressed so lightly that she almost became a fairy.

So comfortable, so comfortable... I feel like I'm about to soften or melt like dough!

So Earl D took over the slime that had fallen down, and spread it flat in his palm, moving occasionally, with a little blush of happiness floating on his face.

It's a paradise!

"Are you still satisfied?"

Earl D asked with a smile.

“FIVE STAR!!!”

Rimuru was not stingy with her compliments.

"Then." Earl D called the iron hot, "Do you want to just... move to the Ark?"

He secretly encouraged him with words: "I will use the sweetest spring water, the best food, the most comfortable space, and the best service to serve and take care of you every day. With me, you can also restore your original form and enjoy yourself to your heart's content. To release the power, there is no need to add so many constraints on yourself—"

In a more easy-to-understand explanation, D Vote will eat, drink and live well, and it also comes with a free 24-hour babysitting service, beating gongs and drums to welcome Limulu to live in his store.

"Ah, huh?"

The originally melted Limuru bounced back in an instant, and the originally squinted eyes widened, looking at Earl D.

The beauty in Tang suit smiled and waited for Limuru's reply.

"Although I am very grateful to the earl for your kindness, it really doesn't work."

Rimuru refused.

Earl D looked very disappointed: "Why? If you are dissatisfied with the treatment I provide you, then..."

"No, that's not the problem, D."

Rimuru interrupted Earl D's next words.

Slime made a circle on the water, moved towards the shore, jumped, and then landed firmly on the snow-white towel that had been laid out earlier, and looked up at Earl D.

"I am very grateful for your invitation, but I'm sorry, Earl, I still have my own things to do in the outside world."

Earl D looked at him with those mysterious and beautiful golden and purple eyes, and smiled slightly with his lips curved.

"You don't need to apologize to me." Earl D said, "This is your own right to make a choice. I have no right to force you to do something."

"It's a pity, but since you said that, of course your wishes will be given top priority."

He picked up the towel, gently helped Limulu wipe off the water droplets on his body, and put Limulu into the bamboo basket that was cushioned with soft silk and decorated with ribbons inlaid with pearls. .

"However, the gate of the ark will always be opened for you."

Earl D smiled slightly.

"No matter when and where, as long as you need it, or if you are tired of this world with humans, then you can come to the Ark. There will always be a place for you here, and it will be reserved for you. A special room."

The room Earl D mentioned here is not a simple room in a hotel or a hotel.

Every room on the ark is actually a special, independent space.The owner of this room will be able to set the scene in the space according to his own preferences.

It can be an erupting volcano, an endless sea, a snowy mountain, or a deep forest.

In this space, it is not bound by region and practice, no matter how it is set up, there is no problem.The ark, which has the same name as the prop that helped humans survive the flood from the gods in myths and legends, is a secret treasure passed down by the Eastern family for thousands of years.

"I see."

Limuru rubbed Earl D's hand.

"Thank you very much, Count."

Earl D smiled even deeper.

"No," he said, "you'll never have to thank me."

"Because just your existence here is already a great surprise and gift to me in this world."

Since after communicating with Limulu, he found that he was unwilling to stay, Earl D could only send Limulu away with great regret.

Until then, though, the cemetery business that walked into this store in the first place won’t be forgotten—namely, picking out a pet for Sakura Tohsaka.

If Rimuru originally wanted to find a cute little guy to make up for the loss of Tohsaka Sakura's pet caused by Natsume Soseki; then now, he obviously has a new goal.

After gaining an insight into the essence of Earl D's pet shop, Rimuru didn't want to just choose an ordinary pet for Tohsaka Sakura.

He even wanted to find a pet for Tohsaka Sakura with certain special abilities, preferably one that could help the little girl or protect her when needed.

"To this little lady?"

After listening to Rimuru's needs, Earl D asked Tohsaka Sakura.

"So, do you have a preferred type?"

Tohsaka Sakura hugged Rimuru a little at a loss. The slime felt very good, it felt like a high-quality water pillow, and its cute appearance was enough to win the hearts of girls.

And the reason why Tohsaka Sakura's body is stiff now is naturally not because her teacher is actually a slime, the reason why she is not working all the time is... she is hugging the teacher now!It's Mr. Teacher!

On the one hand, Tohsaka Sakura was very happy that she could get so close to the teacher, and even couldn't help but want to lower her head and bury her belly on the slime's belly; but on the other hand, she was worried that she would not What was not done well caused Limuru's dislike.

It is because of too much respect and liking that this kind of emotion of worrying about gain and loss comes into being.

And when Earl D was asking about his preference, Tohsaka Sakura panicked and said the truth without paying attention: "I, I like Mr. Sensei!"

As soon as the words came out, Tohsaka Sakura herself blushed like an apple without waiting for others to react.

"...I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for Limulu to point out such a thing."

Count D was taken aback for a moment.

"...No, no! That's not what I meant! Please pretend I didn't say anything!"

Tohsaka Sakura was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide herself.

"Well."

Rimuru then stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Sakura...is it okay to have a cat?"

Tohsaka Sakura nodded slightly, covering her face with her hands, refusing to show it.

"Then I hope it's a cat with a good personality and a certain protective ability... Follow this standard, Earl."

Earl D smiled and said: "Coincidentally, the store happens to have pets that meet the requirements."

He left for a while, and came back pushing a cage covered in red flannelette.

"What do you think of this?"

Limulu stared at the white "big cat" inside the cage after the flannelette was lifted, with a delicate expression.

Tigers can be used as pets for little girls...?
