Rimuru pov:
After our long journey, we have finally arrived at ruberios, but it is already late at night so the servants guide us directly into our rooms, the kids as expected immediately fall asleep while i'm in my room with shion and diablo by my side
For me who don't really need a sleep anyway it doesn't bother me, plus i could only sleep if either my wife or daughters at my side, damn..now i miss them already, but aside from that diablo who is a demon inherently don't sleep so it's alright and shion who even though still need some rest she could go for 7 days straight without sleep
"Diablo, as you know your jobs is to protect the band takt is something happen-"
"Rimuru-sama, please do not worry i already let venom do the task"
Hm, this guy really eliminate any chance of us being separated, what a fascinating guy, with that in mind i praise diablo sincerely in my heart while let out a small grin
After around 5 minutes, the servants suddenly came to our room informing us that ruminas want to me to meet her right now, i of course just agree to it and heading out
"You finally here, looking at you in your pajama you really look like a midnight 'snack', do you always wear a girl clothes while asleep? "
"Sigh, i'm comfortable with this clothes"
And after that we have a long conversation mainly regarding luminous suspicion toward granbell
"So what i'm saying is, your town will likely involve in his plan" ruminas ended her line
"And that's why you requesting help from me? I'm just a newly awaken demon lord you know? I'm not that confident to help you" i said while calmly sipping my tea
"Oh, who are you kidding, for a newly awaken demon lord to play with milim by itself is impressive, though i doubt you are as strong as me"
"Kufufufu, how boring vampire, i see no reason for you to bother rimuru-sama with such a small fry" diablo suddenly intervened
Louis and gunther frown when they heard this but suddenly the tense atmosphere got broke with luminous laughter
"It seems like rimuru has made you quite a obedient pet huh? Primordial black"
"I prefer being called diablo"
"I see..but what diablo said is make sense, but what i'm saying is this matter is not completely unrelated to you, rimuru. Granbell is the bearer of Hero egg, once the egg hatch i don't even know how strong he will become"
I hearing this just let out a small grin, since for me no matter how granbell evolve he is still just an ant that need to be crush, but it seems like to luminous he is a problem
"Alright enough of that diablo, i will try to help you in anyway if i could, this granbell guy seems interesting after all"
"That's a relief, if you were gonna to reject it i consider to let have one night stand with me you know"
Luminous said so while licking his lips and stare at me with lustful eyes
"Do you want me to get killed? I refuse" i said while remembering azusa
"Azusa huh? I don't mind we three doing it at the same time you know?" Luminous said as she seemingly more excited than before
"Stop that alright? I will help you" i said while looking at luminous with serious eyes
"How boring.."

Right now the secret meeting between yuuki and granbell is taking place, yuuki who inform granbell about mariabell death is surprise after seeing granbell reaction
"There's nothing i can do then.....aside from that, i'm not asking you to trust me, we just need to form a temporary alliance"
"So what do i get from this?" Yuuki asked
"Holy ark that bind the strongest hero that capable of sealing true dragon" granbell answered nonchalantly
Yuuki heard got shocked for a second, to yuuki this is really an interesting proposal that he could not let go, but the problem is granbell is targeting demon lord rimuru
'this is nice...even though i'm under princess shalsha 'favor' she is not with rimuru-san at this moment...i need to take risk'
Even thought yuuki can still guessed shalsha plan by making him doing her 'favor' the reward for granbell proposal is too nice to let go
"Alright then, i agreed" after consider the proposal for a long time, yuuki finally accept it
