But what did Slime do wrong?

Limulu supported the cone hat on her head with one hand, and cast her eyes from behind the translucent tulle. Although the two in front of her were a little strange, she could still vaguely see some of her youthful appearance. Onmyoji asked with some uncertainty.

The two sneaky figures were immediately stunned.

"Rimuru?"

Abe Seimei called out the opponent's name first.

It is a little difficult for Rimuru to distinguish Abe Seimei and Asakura Leaf King, but it is not a problem for the latter two to recognize Rimuru—because compared to the earth-shaking conflicts that can occur in ten years for human beings Changes, as a monster, Limuru has had too long a time, so that ten years can leave too few traces on him.

Not to mention other things, even the height has not been able to increase by even a centimeter.

This is really a sad story.

Therefore, it is not difficult at all to recognize Limulu.

"Um?"

Rimuru responded, and then laughed.

"It really is Qingming and Ma Cang."

He turned the cone hat on his head and smiled at the two of them: "Why are you here?"

"Well……"

For a moment, Abe Seimei didn't know how to strike up a conversation.

He has no way to ascertain Limuru's current attitude. Although there was a short period of time together more than ten years ago, it seems that a wrong impression has been established from the very beginning of the meeting.

Abe Seimei thought this way, and his eyes wandered for a moment on Limuru's slender and lonely wrist protruding from the sleeve because of the movement of raising his hand. exists on the other side.

This inevitably surprised Abe Seimei a little.

"Limuru?" Abe Seimei called him, "This...why do you still keep it?"

Following his line of sight, Limulu saw the curse pattern on her wrist, said "ah", and waved her hand nonchalantly: "Well, it's okay, after all, it's a contract with Seimei. , I feel like I don’t need to worry at all.”

Abe Seimei took a deep breath, unable to describe his current mood in words: "You really believe in me...Aren't you afraid that I will use this to reverse control, or threaten you to do something?"

"Of course." Rimuru replied briskly, "Because you are Seimei Abe."

This is a heavy and extremely precious trust, which even made Seimei Abe not know how to reply for a while.

Is it just because he is Abe Seimei—just because he has such a name, and the meeting between them ten years ago, is it enough for Limuru to entrust him with such trust?

If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between the two parties was not familiar to that point, Abe Seimei wanted to shake Rimuru by the back of the neck like a cat who didn't know what trouble he had caused, and then He scolded him fiercely and softly, did he know what he did wrong?

However, these are naturally limited to thinking.

Abe Seimei looked at Limuru again, especially staying on the other side's beautiful pupils for a moment, and finally sighed long, long, and buried his face in his palm.

never mind.Abe Seimei thought very self-destructively, what bad thoughts could the kitty have.

After all, he is just a cute kitty, right?

"Anyway." Abe Seimei could only solemnly warn Rimuru in the end, "It's better not to do such a thing a second time."

There was even a hint of complaint in his tone: "Why are you so relieved of me?"

——You don't even know what kind of person I am.

"Well, because you are Seimei Abe."

Facing this question, Limuru answered briskly without any hesitation.

It was Seimei Abe who was unparalleled in character and could be equated with this romantic Heian-kyo.

The Heian era shines even more because of your presence.

King Ma Cang Ye listened to Li Mulu's heartbeat in silence, feeling like an outsider.His gaze wandered for a moment on the emerald stud above Limulu's earlobe, and a slight displeasure suddenly emerged in his heart.

What, Ma Cang Ye Wang thought, it's too wrong for things to develop into this situation, isn't it?

The person who should have a deeper connection with the boy in front of him—no matter how he thinks about it, it should be him, King Asakura, right?

His fingers twitched lightly in his hands that were gathered in the wide sleeves.The golden pentagram danced faintly at his fingertips, but was hidden by the sleeve robe, and even the light was hidden, so Rimuru and Abe Seimei didn't notice it.

Oh no, maybe I noticed it too.

Abe Seimei glanced at Asakura Yewang's sleeve, and noticed that slight trace of spiritual power flow.

But Abe Seimei couldn't figure out what Makura Leaf King could do with his spiritual power to cast spells, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, but just skipped it.

After he turned his head, King Ma Cang Ye took his hand out of the sleeve robe and stared blankly at the fingertips that had just drawn the pattern of the pentagram.

Obviously——is Rimuru related to the spell he created, right?The other party didn't have half a platycodon mark on his body.

Thinking of this, Asakura Ye Wang took a step forward and interposed between Rimuru and Abe Seimei.

Okay.

In that case, he just needs to choose to join!

"Why is Limuru here?"

King Asakura Leaf forcefully pushed Abe Seimei aside, and then stepped up by himself.

Abe Seimei: ... I'm so angry, but I still have to keep smiling.

King Ma Cang Ye, you wait for me :)

"Oh..." Limulu didn't see what kind of undercurrents were going on here, but answered Ma Cangye Wang's question very cooperatively, "Because I was invited to, um, to be a guest or to play Bar?"

He couldn't give an accurate answer, because he was Shuten-douji's friend after all, and Rimuru just came to play with him, eat and drink along the way.

King Ma Cang Ye heard all these words without missing a word, and then his eyebrows twitched immediately.

Shuten-douji...?

"Rimru, are you on good terms with Shuten-douji?"

He seemed to ask this casually.

Rimuru: "Uh, is it okay?"

If I had to say it, Shuten-douji could be regarded as my subordinate... Rimuru thought so uncertainly.

After all, the other party lost to Limulu with just a single bet.

This is simply a bloody lesson, Shuten-douji is using his actual experience to teach all monsters a truth, cherish life and stay away from gambling.

King Ma Cang Ye heard all these in full, and he felt that this time not only his brows were twitching, but even his temples were aching.

So he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by subordinate?"

The Onmyoji stared at the face of the young man in front of him, and an almost absurd guess vaguely emerged in his heart.

"Limuru." Ma Cang Ye Wang called him, "Jiu Tun-douji... Did you share your demon soul with you?"

Limuru repeated Ma Canghao's question in confusion: "Yaopo?"

That was something that had never appeared in his impression.

Asakura Leaf King: Good guy, it looks like this was fooled by Shuten-douji?

Even Ma Cangye Wang, who is an onmyoji, knows that if a monster keeps saying that he wants to surrender to you, but never surrenders his own ghost to pretend that it is a ghost pill, then it is just an unbelievable deception and That's all nonsense!

And Abe Seimei also roughly inferred what might have happened from the few words of the conversation between the two of them.

"...Oh, this is really unexpected."

Abe Seimei had a smile on his face, if one ignored how tightly he held his cypress fan in his hand, then one might really think that this person was as calm and breezy as he appeared on the surface.

"It turns out that the majestic Lord of the Great River and Mountain also engages in these low-level tricks?"

Rimuru: "Um..."

Although I don't know what happened, but I always feel that the atmosphere suddenly became warmer?

"Ah, that's right."

King Ma Cang Ye stretched out his hand, pressed Limulu's shoulder, and brushed the earrings on the latter's earlobe lightly with his fingers.

"Since Rimuru and Shuten-douji are familiar, can you do us a favor?"

"What is it?"

"Because of a mission, Qingming and I need to get mixed into the monster's banquet." He straightened his robes, with a somewhat helpless expression on his face, "But you also saw that, as an onmyoji, Our goal is really too conspicuous."

"However, if someone can take us in, then everything will become easier."

Originally, he never thought of getting rid of Limuru, because that might cause unnecessary trouble to the other party.

However, now that it is known that Rimuru and Shuten-douji have such a superior-subordinate relationship of domination and subordination, things seem to become simpler all of a sudden.

Because Ma Cang Ye Wang [heard] heard it.

If you make a request yourself, the person in front of you will not refuse.

"Of course it's no problem for me to bring you in." As Ma Cang Yewang expected, Limulu did not refuse his request, but the other party asked with some worry and distress, "But, is this really no problem?" ?”

"Whether it's you or Seimei, they are all famous onmyojis, right? I always feel that there are definitely not a few monsters who know you. If you are recognized..."

"In this case, there is no need to worry."

Abe Seimei stepped forward, and skillfully pushed King Makura Leaf aside, the movements were smooth and natural, as if it was really just out of nowhere.

"Because for monsters, humans are prey, bait, and playthings."

He tapped his lips with a fan, and a pair of peach eyes filled with a cold smile.

"And human beings with spiritual power are even more precious among them."

"We are your [prey]—that's all."

*****

"You're too slow, Rimuru."

Holding the wine jar in his hand, Shuten-douji heard the "jingling" sound of the bells hitting and colliding, so he glanced in the direction of the sound.

He didn't even need to identify who the owner of the sound was, because the clothes that the new bride had prepared for Limuru recently were a bit in the style of floating people, except for the huge hat on the head, There is a row of small bells adorning the corners of the clothes, which make a very crisp sound when walking, which disturbs people's thoughts, and they will pay attention to them unconsciously.

But immediately after, Shuten-douji narrowed his eyes.

"Hello, Rimuru?"

He snorted.

"You really...brought back a very remarkable [prey]."
