Kage: 'Using thought as communication
Kage: "Direct speaking"
Third Person POV
At the entrance of a town we can see a bunch of monster standing at a seemingly human but appearance can be deceiving. While the logic says that when a monster spotted a human it became aggressive and will try to kill the human but what's happening this time is the opposite. At the entrance of the town the whole monsters that are present is on the verge of crying because one of their leader is leaving.
Kage: "So guy's I'm off"
Kage said while waving his hand to the monsters
Rimuru: "Wait before you leave, how can we contact you?"
Kage: "Ow! About that I will bring someone here that can represent me while I'm away"
Rimuru: "I don't think you know someone outside our town"
Kage: "Well you're correct but gaining an ally when I go on my journey is possible you know"
Rimuru: "Your certainly correct"
Kage: "So you don't have any more questions?"
Rimuru: "None"
Kage: "Ok then can you tell Shizu that I leave because I wouldn't have the chance to say it to her"
Rimuru: "Ok, Good luck on your journey and see you soon "
Rimuru raise his hand for a handshake while Kage reciprocate it and pull him over to hug him
After a moment of silence they separated to each other and Kage turn to the people that is behind the back of Rimuru
Kage: "Guys I'm off"
Kage said while waving his hand at them
After properly saying goodbye, he finally departed
His first goal is to explore the east side of the Great Jura Forest. The Great Jura Forest territory is massive that's why he need to act fast because he plan on leaving this territory after Rimuru defeated the orcs. The reason why he wants to stay during the orcs invasion because he plans to use the orcs souls for his experiment about souls and energy just like what Rimuru do when he evolve his subordinate.
Rimuru POV
Rimuru watched Kage's departure from the town with a mixture of emotions swirling within him. Although he knew that Kage's journey was essential and had been planned for some time by himself, the reality of his brother figure absence weighed heavily on his heart.
As Kage's figure became smaller in the distance, Rimuru couldn't help but reminisce about the time they had spent together. Kage had been there from the very beginning, offering guidance, support, and friendship when Rimuru had first arrived in this world as a slime.
Rimuru: sigh "Kage, you really are something else. Always so mysterious and unpredictable."
Rimuru had come to rely on Kage's wisdom and unique abilities. Kage's departure left a void in their group dynamic, and Rimuru couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness.
Rimuru couldn't deny that he was worried about Kage's well-being. The world they lived in was fraught with danger, and Kage was known for his insatiable curiosity, which often led him into unpredictable situations. Yet, Rimuru also knew that Kage possessed incredible strength and wisdom.
Rimuru: "I trust in Kage's abilities, but that doesn't mean I won't miss him."
The town they had built together had become a testament to their friendship and leadership. Rimuru knew that he would have to take on even more responsibilities in Kage's absence, and he was determined to honor his brother's legacy.
Rimuru: "Kage, I promise to look after our town and its residents. When you return, you'll see how much we've grown."
With that vow in his heart, Rimuru turned away from the horizon, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. He would keep the memory of Kage close, knowing that their bond as brothers would endure, no matter the distance that separated them.
Kage POV
With Rimuru's determination to carry on in his heart, the perspective shifted back to Kage, who was now deep within the lush and uncharted regions of the Great Jura Forest.
It's already 8 days after I leave the town and I'm currently near the Tengu tribe. This part of the forest is very valuable because of its resources. Kage arrived here yesterday midnight while he can arrived faster using space and time domination or deploy his wings he decided to walk and sometimes run to get every detail of the forest.
While exploring the The Great Jura Forest Kage analyze anything that pique his interest. Although he usually hunt monster to gain experience and to bring food to town he didn't have time to learn more about the ecosystem of the forest.
Right now we can see Kage holding a slime while having a conflict on his mind to taste or leave it as it is. In the series it is shown that slime are edible that's why a question crosses his mind what is the taste of a slime? A question he wants an answer but he can't because everytime he do it he remember Rimuru.
After a few minutes of (figurative) headache, Kage remembers his old theory about slime. His old theory states that slime are one of the most power species in the world and the reason of it is there innate talent but because of their lack of intelligent they are degraded. In this world just being born as a slime you can have the ability to absorb, mimicry, and slime doesn't need to eat they just need to absorb magicules.
Kage continued his journey through the Great Jura Forest, pondering the mysteries of slimes and the world around him. As he ventured deeper into the forest, he encountered various creatures, each with its unique traits and abilities.
One day, while walking along a serene stream, Kage noticed a group of fairies playing by the water's edge. They seemed to radiate an aura of magic and beauty. Curiosity piqued, he decided to approach them, careful not to startle the delicate beings.
Kage: "Hello there, little fairies. May I join in your merriment?"
The fairies, initially surprised by his presence, soon realized he meant no harm. They welcomed him with smiles and laughter, inviting him to partake in their games.
Fairy 1: "Of course! The more, the merrier!"
Fairy 2: "We've been watching you for a while, you know."
Kage: "Is that so? What brings you here, then?"
Fairy 3: "We're the guardians of this part of the forest. We protect its natural beauty and the creatures that reside here."
Kage was intrigued. He already know that Veldora is considered as the God of this place and the Dryads as the guardian of the forest but he didn't know there are other guardians.
Kage: "Guardians, you say? I'm fascinated by the various species in this forest and how they interact with one another. Perhaps you can enlighten me about your roles as protectors."
The fairies eagerly shared their knowledge about the delicate balance of the forest, the creatures that called it home, and the importance of preserving nature's harmony. They spoke of their connection to the forest's magic and their duty to maintain its vitality.
Kage: "It's truly remarkable. I've always been curious about the intricacies of this world, and your insights have been enlightening."
This statement comes from his heart, Even in his past world Kage is called information geek, when something pique his interest he will do anything to get the information he want. It is also the reason why he has successful life in the past.
Kage already the some details about this world and with his overpowered skill he is confident to live on this world but with the new information he received he is now confused if this is also part of the Tensura but didn't get included because it is not important or he is in another timeline where the future is not what he expected. Even with this thought Kage didn't falter and continue the conversation.
Fairy 1: "We can sense your genuine curiosity and respect for nature. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to offer you a gift."
The fairy give the gift to Kage
Kage: "Wow, this is beautiful"
Fairy 2: "Yes, and not only that it can clear someone's mind"
Kage accepted the beautiful flower, touched by the fairies' gesture of kindness.
Kage: "Thank you. I promise to use it responsibly and continue to learn about the forest and its inhabitants."
Although it's not really useful for him he but it can be a life saving item when needed that's why he will put it in his storage space.
As he continued to follow the fairies, Kage couldn't help but think about his past lives and the vast knowledge he had accumulated. He wondered how that knowledge could be applied in this world to benefit its inhabitants and help him achieve his ultimate goal, a goal that remained hidden deep within his thoughts.
As Kage spent more time with the fairies in the Great Jura Forest, he began to piece together the intricate web of connections that bound the various guardian spirits and entities within the forest. The fairies, whom he had befriended, were but one piece of a much larger puzzle.
Fairy 1: "You see, Kage, our duties as guardian spirits are intertwined with the well-being of the forest. We, the fairies, are responsible for protecting its magical essence and ensuring the harmony of its magic."
Fairy 2: "And that harmony extends to our fellow guardians, like the dryads who tend to protect the forest, and even to Veldora, the Majestic Dragon."
Kage was intrigued by the mention of the dryads and Veldora, both of whom he had heard about during his time in the forest.
Kage: "The dryads and Veldora... How are they connected to your role as guardians?"
Fairy 3: "The dryads share our responsibility for maintaining the balance of magic in the forest. They nurture they nurture and protect the forest and are deeply attuned to the forest's lifeforce. They are the protectors of its physical manifestation."
Fairy 1: "As for Veldora, the Majestic Dragon, he is an integral part of the forest's history. Long ago. His power and magic contribute to the vitality of the forest, and he, too, watches over its well-being."
Kage: thought "So, the fairies guard the magical essence, the dryads protect the physical realm of the forest, and with Lord Veldora's presence the whole species in the forest did not dare cause a problem."
Kage realized that the guardian spirits, including the fairies, dryads, and Veldora, were all interconnected in their roles as protectors of the Great Jura Forest. Each entity contributed to the forest's well-being in its unique way, maintaining its harmony and preserving its natural beauty.
Kage: "I see now how all of you work together to safeguard this place. It's a remarkable collaboration between different beings with a shared purpose."
Fairy 2: "Indeed, Kage. Our roles may differ, but our commitment to this forest unites us. We are all bound by the magic and the beauty of this land."
Fairy 1: "But because of the disappearance of the Majestic Dragon, we are forced protect the species who are living in this forest."
With this newfound understanding, Kage's understanding about the guardian spirits and his connection to the forest deepened. He had not only gained knowledge about their roles but also a profound appreciation for the intricate tapestry of life that flourished within the Great Jura Forest.
