Rimuru, who had been calm, and Milim, who had been happily stuffing herself, both became wary after hearing what Luminas said.
The two little ones could tell that when Luminas addressed "Ari," she was not calling him "Li," but "Li."
The meaning of that character was something the two of them understood very well.
So how could they not be on guard?
In short, Luminas's words had thoroughly piqued everyone's curiosity.
As one of the people involved, Mo Li wore a helpless expression. Clearly, he was troubled right now.
Because he had caught the implication behind Luminas's words.
The name she had used for him was neither "Morax" nor "Mo Li," but the name of the incarnation "Li," with whom she had formed a bond of friendship.
Although quite a few people did not understand, there were still many who knew what that name meant.
Luminas's move truly left Mo Li at a loss as to how to refuse.
After all, if a friend wanted to stay with you for a day or two, it would be hard to turn her down.
"Now that war is upon us again, shouldn't you, as the god of the Holy Imperial Nation, return as soon as possible and take charge of the situation?"
Mo Li still refused to give up, clinging to his last sliver of hope that he could persuade Luminas to return.
After all, the Demon Country Federation was already far too lively right now.
Not to mention Rimuru and Milim.
Whenever those two little ones got together, there was never a moment of peace.
And because of the Seven Virtues series of Ultimate Skills—
Velzard, the White Ice Dragon, and Leon Cromwell, the Jade Sword King, had no choice but to stay temporarily in the Demon Country Federation.
