Life As Monsters: Male Reader x That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Chapter 14: Guests From Afar

"Hm? Oh, you're awake..." You said in surprise as the Rodan bowed her head to you.

"Your moth friend here tells me you're one of the leaders of this place. I'm sorry for attacking you the other day. I was so starved of food, anything that was alive was a potential food source to me. I made the unfortunate decision of targeting such a powerful being, I hope you can forgive me." The Rodan said as you were surprised by all this.

"Y/N?" The Rodan raised her head from hearing the sound of a childish voice and her sights landed on Milim who was wearing new cute clothing that was prepared for her by Shuna. "Who is this little birdy?" Milim asked in wonder as the Rodan seemed irritated by this.

"Watch your mouth, human!" The Rodan yelled at Milim, shocking you and everyone else around you as you all lost your breaths for a moment.

"H-H-Hey! Wait! This is--!" Mai was about to inform the Rodan of who Milim was, but the Demon Lord on your back just let out a cute laugh as she hopped down from your back.

"Ahahahaha! Interesting! You say that without realizing who you're up against. I like you're attitude!" Milim said with a grin.

"Hm? Are you challenging me?" The Rodan said as you were sweating bullets.

"HEY! NO ONE'S CHALLENGING ANYONE, RIGHT? MILIM?" You said to her as the Demon Lord turned to you.

"Don't worry, Y/N. I'll be gentle with her." Milim said as she was about to hop off your back, but you held her in place with your tail.

"Milim, remember what we told you? If you cause any trouble, you can kiss your meals for the day goodbye." You said as this instantly made the Demon Lord retract her intentions.

"Ah, that's right...F-Forget I said anything!" Milim said with a nervous look on her face.

"Hmph, how childish..." The Rodan with an unimpressed look on her face, but Mai floated over and began whispering into her ear. "Hm?" The Rodan hummed in wonder of what she was being told before her eyes shot open fully. "EH?! THE DEMON LORD MILIM?!" She yelled in complete shock as everyone around her just nodded in understanding of her reaction.

"Oh? Trembling in fear now, are we? Well, no need to worry, little birdie. Any friend of Y/N's is a friend of mine! Waahahahahaha!" Milim said with a cheerful laugh as the Rodan still couldn't believe what she was seeing before her eyes.

"To tame the Demon Lord Milim...Just how incredible are you?" The Rodan asked as you just nervously laughed while scratching the side of your head with your tail.

"Well, it's not like we tamed her, we just became besties is all..." You said as this amazed the Rodan to the point where a decision was made in her mind as she suddenly bowed her head before you. "Huh? What? What's going on?" You asked in surprise.

"Lord Y/N, one of the two rulers of monsters..." The Rodan suddenly spoke with great respect as she raised her head and looked to you with a hopeful and determined gaze. "Please, allow me to stand by your side for as long as I live!" She announced as this shocked everyone.

"Huh?" You said with a surprised look.

"Oh?" Milim said as she had a excited smile on her face.

"Ohhhhh!" The people around you were intrigued by this request.

"EHHHH!?!?!?!" Mai suddenly gasped in shock as her eyes turned into a flustered red color from her natural blue orbs as a pink hue spread across her face. "S-S-S-STAND BY HIS SIDE AS LONG AS YOU LIVE?!" Mai asked in shock.

"Yes! Not only for besting me in combat, but for saving my life...My heart and body belong to you and you alone!" The Rodan was determined to be one of your aids, but Mai was taking this all in the wrong way.
