Yae Miko nodded with satisfaction.
"Hm, you must be short on supplies on Watatsumi Island, right? In a few days, I'll have General Kujou lead a team to send a batch over to you."
Kokomi nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Yae Miko. Watatsumi Island is indeed very short on supplies."
Upon hearing this, Yae Miko smiled knowingly.
"Also, you should speed up the recovery of your comrce and engage in so legitimate business, understand?And the Shogun is collecting Primogems, so pay attention to gathering so when you return."
Kokomi was montarily stunned by Yae Miko's words, then nodded in agreent after a few seconds.
Afterwards,Yae Miko let Kokomi and Gorou leave Narukami Shrine.
Ayaka looked at them leaving and turned to Yae Miko.
"Miko-sama, in the next few days, Stelle and March 7th invited to hang out."
Yae Miko responded.
"Great~ It's been many days since you last went, hasn't it?"
Ayaka nodded.
"Yes."
Yae Miko shook her head.
"You all are better off than , unlike who has to deal with a bunch of troubleso matters every day.Sigh~ When will my leisurely life return?"
Ayaka smiled in agreent.
"Well, Miko-sama, I'll be going now. Goodbye."
At the foot of Narukami Shrine,After descending the mountain, Kokomi looked back nervously at Mt. Narukami.
"Luckily, it was the Yae Miko who discovered this matter. If it had been anyone else..."
Gorou was puzzled by Kokomi's sudden cryptic remark.
"Divine Priestes, what do you an?"
Kokomi explained.
"Gorou, the last ti you used Primogems to purchase supplies was found out by the Guuji Yae.Her last few words just now were hinting at us.Legitimate business — the General needs Primogems.The opposite of legitimate business is illegal dealings like smuggling.Since the Shogun needs Primogems, it ans the Guuji Yae already knew about our Primogem trades."
Gorou felt chills after hearing Kokomi's analysis and realized how lucky they were.Thankfully, the person who caught onto this was the Guuji Yae; if it had been any other family or faction, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Kokomi said to Gorou.
"Gorou, when you return, take people to gather Primogems and deliver them to the Shogun."
Gorou bowed slightly and agreed to the task.
Inside Ye Yun's shop,Rimuru ca again to freeload food and drink — no choice, those goblins' cooking skills were really diocre.Plus, they didn't even have any seasoning, not even the most basic salt.
Ruan i had Eistada help fetch a warship, bringing back all the captured magical beasts for experints.
Ruan i was in a great mood, suddenly having so many new experintal subjects.
Along with the warship ca several construction robots. These robots belonged to the Herta Space Station and were specially responsible for its construction.
Ruan i transferred control of the robots to Rimuru.
"Rimuru, these are construction robots. Their chips contain thousands of building blueprints."
Rimuru looked at the robots in surprise.
"Oh! Aweso! Thank you, Ruan i."
Ruan i nodded slightly, then boarded the warship and left the train.
Just as Ruan i left, Ayaka stepped out from the portal.
Ayaka looked around the shop.
"Ye Yun, where are Stelle and the others?"
Ye Yun replied.
"Stelle? They went to Rimuru's world to play, said they want to beco wolf knights."
Upon hearing her na, Rimuru raised their head.
"Hello, I'm Rimuru, the kind-hearted sli."
Ayaka looked at Rimuru.
"Hey! A talking sli!"
Rimuru was a bit speechless; this sentence seed like sothing they had heard many tis before.
Is a talking sli really that surprising?
If Ye Yun knew Rimuru's thoughts, he would definitely say,Of course it's surprising. In countless worlds, most slis are mindless monsters.
Ayaka looked at the slightly frustrated Rimuru and realized she had misspoken.
"Uh... sorry."
Rimuru shook their head.
"It's okay. If you want to find Stelle and the others, you can go straight there. They're playing at my place."
Ayaka thanked Rimuru and ran into the portal.
After eating, Rimuru took the robots back to the goblin village.
Just after returning, Rimuru saw Stelle and Kiana riding a grown Tempest Wolf, running wildly on a clearing near the village.
While riding the Tempest Wolf, Stelle was making "woohoo" sounds.
Rimuru glanced over but didn't bother them, letting Stelle and the others play on their own.
Rimuru started building houses with the construction robots.
Due to limited materials, only wooden houses could be built for now.
Rimuru was already very satisfied — definitely better than those tattered tents.
Stelle, March 7th, and others played on the Tempest Wolf for a while. Stelle waved her hand grandly.
"Let's go check out the forest."
March 7th and the others patted the Stormfang and rode it toward the forest.
While running, Stelle suddenly heard sounds of fighting ahead.
She had the Stormfang stop.
"Ayaka, Hutao, do you hear that? Do you hear sounds?"
Ayaka, Hutao, and others listened carefully and faintly heard screams.
"There's a fight ahead. Should we go help?"
Firefly said.
"Rimuru said there are many monsters in this forest. Maybe so travelers ran into monsters. Let's help."
The group rode the Stormfang and rushed toward the sounds.
As they drew closer, the voices grew louder.
The piercing screams surrounded their ears.
Hutao, Firefly, and the Lumine each transford — one into a Sam, one rode the wind-fire wheels, and one summoned light wings — and swiftly headed to the source of the noise.
At the Ogre tribe village,A demon man and a group of pig-head n attacked the village.
Once the battle started, the ogres realized sothing was wrong.
Why would low-level pig-head monsters dare attack the ogres? The ogres were the strongest race in this forest.
Moreover, these pig-head n were unusually powerful.
From past experience, one adult ogre man could easily kill dozens of pig-head n.
But here, the result was different. An ogre could only handle 4–5 at a ti.
The entire village was surrounded, and the chief could only lead the clan in a desperate fight.
The masked demon Gelmud stood on a big tree.
"Hahahaha! That's right! Devour and grow strong! Orc Lord!"
The mastermind behind this was Gelmud, a subordinate of the demon lord Clayman.
After learning that the storm Dragon Veldora had disappeared, Clayman sent Krumit to this forest to crazily na monsters, letting them slaughter each other until the strongest tribe would replace Clayman to occupy this great forest.
***
Suddenly, a blaze lit up the sky.
In Gelmud's vision, a person in armor descended from the heavens, their feet engulfed in scorching flas.
The mysterious figure crashed down, and the mont they landed, the ground of the entire village collapsed. A wave of fire followed, sweeping through the entire settlent.
The fire wave seed to co alive, actively avoiding the ogres and sweeping toward the orcs.
Before the orc army could even react, two more figures descended into the battlefield.
Hutao swung her fiery spear rapidly, while Lumine's Descender Sword emitted bursts of white sword light.
Gelmud was dumbfounded by the overwhelming power of the three.
Their strength was terrifying! No — he had to escape! If he stayed, he'd surely die!
Gelmud slipped away quietly, leaving behind the orcs who were still marching forward under the effects of enemy skills.
Not long after Gelmud fled, Stelle, March 7th, and Ayaka joined the battle.
Finally, Rimuru also arrived, having heard the commotion.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the army of twenty thousand orcs was quickly annihilated.
The ogre chief, now visibly relaxed, collapsed to the ground — his body had already reached its limits.
At that mont, the ogre prince also returned with a few trusted followers.
After hearing about the village's ordeal from his father, the ogre prince was filled with fury. Orcs dared attack the ogres?
Just as the ogre prince was about to seek revenge, the ogre chief stopped him.
"My son, there's sothing wrong with the orcs. I have a theory about today's situation."
The ogre elder understood what the chief ant. They had all experienced that blade of calamity before.
"The Orc Lord!"
Upon hearing those words, the ogre prince froze. The Orc Lord — a true monster.
Whenever a new Orc Lord is born, it brings about a disaster.
The ogre chief got up and patted the ogre prince on the shoulder.
"We'll talk about revenge later. Let's go thank our saviors first."
At that mont, Rimuru was healing the wounded. He spit out bottle after bottle of Perfect Healing Potions — just one was enough to fully recover a person.
Seeing the effectiveness of the potions, Stelle asked Rimuru for a few bottles to keep for future injuries.
The ogre chief, along with the ogre prince and the others, ca to Rimuru and his group.
"Thank you all for your help! I am deeply grateful!"
The ogre chief bowed 90 degrees, showing his utmost sincerity.
Stelle waved it off.
"No problem. I'm the Galactic Blazing Hero, after all — this is what I do!"
After speaking, Stelle stood proudly, hands on her hips, looking incredibly smug.
Rimuru looked around at the ruins of the village and made a suggestion.
"Why don't you all co with for now? Your village is in ruins and there's nowhere to live."
The ogre chief thought for a mont, then gratefully agreed.
Rimuru led the group back.
The ogre princess kept eyeing Stelle and the others curiously — their clothes were strange, and most importantly, she couldn't sense any magicules from them.
The remaining ogres followed Rimuru back to the goblin settlent.
Seeing it was getting late, Stelle and the others said goodbye to Rimuru and returned to the train.
After they left, Rimuru brought the ogres into a wooden cabin.
Thanks to the construction robots brought by Ruan i, thirty two-story wooden houses had been built in no ti. Each one was about 200 square ters per floor, with open layouts and no separate rooms.
It was still early days — just having a place to stay was a big step up. The Ranga wolves had slept on grass last night, after all.
Rimuru was very pleased with the result.
"Mmm~ As expected of Ruan i's robots. Amazing!"
Then Rimuru turned to the ogre chief and Benimaru.
"You'll stay here for now. This village is still in developnt, so conditions are basic — hope you understand."
The ogre chief bowed slightly.
"Just having shelter is a blessing. Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Rimuru."
Rimuru nodded.
"Get so rest. I'll have soone bring food shortly. See you later!"
Rimuru hopped out of the cabin cheerfully.
The ogre chief looked at the few survivors left — only about 30 people remained.
"Everyone, rest."
At the chief's order, the ogres dispersed and each found a corner to rest in.
After the destruction of their ho and the loss of their kin, both their bodies and spirits were exhausted.
The ogre chief gathered the ogre prince and a few others for a eting on the second floor.
"The orcs must have a new Orc Lord. Let's discuss what we should do next."
the ogre prince thought for a mont.
"I think we should stay and form an alliance with Rimuru."
The other ogre nodded in agreent.
"I share the young master's view. Lord Rimuru's strength is definitely not ordinary — I felt a sense of death from him."
the ogre princess added,
"Yes, and those girls with him are also very powerful. Even in a dangerous forest, they acted like they were just out on a picnic — totally unguarded."
The ogre chief nodded.
"Indeed. You ca back late and missed it — those girls were terrifyingly strong.
There were over twenty thousand orcs attacking our village, but under their assault, they were wiped out in less than ten minutes.
And the scariest part? They were holding back the whole ti."
The chief had seen it himself: Stelle had wanted to unleash Judgnt of Shamash to wipe out the orcs in one strike, but sothing made her hesitate and stop.
He had no doubt — had she launched that attack, the orc army would've been obliterated instantly.
The ogre prince and the others were stunned.
Twenty thousand orcs — in under ten minutes!
The ogre chief looked around at them.
"If there are no objections, I'll talk to Rimuru tomorrow about forming an alliance."
None of them disagreed.
Then, each of them found a spot to rest for the night.
They could only sleep on the floor now — the entire village had been reduced to rubble, leaving nothing behind.
—anwhile, inside the inner realm—
Ye Yun planted a seed next to the amusent park.
The seed quickly grew into an enormous rose-shaped mini-castle.
Ye Yun had bought the seed from the system. Once planted, it would grow into a rose castle from a fairy tale world.
The castle wasn't very large — only about 300 square ters — with two floors and five small rooms on each floor.
Its fairy-tale style chard the six little ones the mont they saw it. They clung to Ye Yun's leg, begging to move in before he even said a word.
Ye Yun smiled and called Dan Heng and Sunday, who were working in the fields, to help move the kids' belongings into the rose castle.
