Seeing Kaijin's expression, Rimuru immediately grew curious.
"What kind of good place?"
Rimuru asked excitedly.
"You could say it's the best place in the entire Dwarf Kingdom!"
Kaijin's words carried a slightly suggestive meaning. Just looking at his expression, though, made it clear it was no decent place.
The moment Mo Li saw Kaijin's expression, he knew what place it was.
It was Night Butterfly from the original story.
Something like a KTV or a maid café from Mo Li's previous life.
There were quite a few beauties at Night Butterfly in the original story—loli beastgirls, mature elf ladies. It was a great place. It was also there that Rimuru learned of her destined person, Miss Shizue, Izawa Shizue.
It seemed Besta had also been encountered at Night Butterfly. It was there that Besta provoked Rimuru, Kaijin, and the others, setting off the chain of events that ultimately got him expelled from the Dwarf Kingdom alongside Kaijin and sent to Tempest.
"What kind of good place? Hurry up and take us there."
Rimuru said impatiently.
"Would this... young man like to come along too?"
Kaijin glanced at Rimuru before turning his gaze to Mo Li. Only then did he realize that he seemed not to know the names of these two before him. The Slime was probably called Rimuru, but Kaijin had no idea what the dragon-like monster was called. Although Rimuru called Mo Li Ari, Kaijin knew that definitely was not his real name.
Seeing Kaijin's awkward expression.
"My name is Morax Tempest, and her name is Rimuru Tempest. You can call me Morax. As for her, just call her Rimuru."
Noticing the awkwardness on Kaijin's face, Mo Li took the initiative to smooth things over.
"Oh, I see. Then regarding my earlier suggestion, what do you think, young man Morax?"
Kaijin said.
"I'll go too. I won't feel at ease letting her go alone."
Mo Li was also quite interested in elves. Rimuru had never seen them, and neither had Mo Li. After all, in every myth and legend, elves were beautiful women. Mo Li was definitely not going because he coveted their beauty. He was merely worried about Rimuru going alone. Yes, that was exactly it.
Thinking that, Mo Li nodded.
Rimuru, who noticed the gesture, could not help feeling puzzled.
"What's wrong, Ari? Is there a problem?"
Rimuru could not figure it out no matter how hard she thought.
"Good. Since young man Mo Li agrees as well, then let's set off."
Kaijin said excitedly.
Kaijin then walked out of the smithy and began leading the way.
Just then, Mo Li and Rimuru spotted a familiar figure.
It was Gobta, who had parted ways with Mo Li and Rimuru after they arrived in the Dwarf Kingdom.
At that moment, Gobta was sitting at the entrance of a smithy.
Gobta had already completed the task Mo Li and Rimuru had assigned him. He was currently searching for Mo Li and Rimuru. After asking around in many places, he had come here.
However, he did not know their exact location, so he could only search slowly. After looking for so long, he had grown tired and stopped here to rest for a while.
"Sigh, where are Lord Rimuru and Lord Morax? If I'd known, we should've agreed on a meeting place before we split up. Then I wouldn't still be unable to find them now. Sigh, when will I finally find the two lords?"
Gobta sat at the smithy entrance, his face full of distress as he sighed.
Looking at the bustling streets and crowds passing before him, Gobta's head began to ache.
"Gobta, why are you here? Have you finished your task?"
A familiar, concerned voice suddenly rang out beside Gobta's ear. Looking up, he saw Rimuru and Mo Li, who was holding her.
The instant he saw the two figures, Gobta sprang to his feet. The distress on his face vanished in an instant; the speed at which he changed expressions was textbook-worthy.
Great, I finally found the two lords!
Gobta cried out inwardly.
"You look so troubled. Did you run into some problem?"
Mo Li's voice came again.
Hearing that voice, Gobta grew nervous all over.
After all, this lord was not like Rimuru. If he slighted him, who knew what might happen?
"It's nothing, my lords. It's like this."
Gobta explained everything to Mo Li and Rimuru.
Only then did Rimuru understand why Gobta had looked so worried. So that was what it was—she had thought something serious had happened.
"Have you finished everything?"
Mo Li suddenly asked.
"I've finished everything, Lord Morax. All the necessary items are in my backpack. There are even some of the items you gave me left over."
Gobta said as he pointed at his backpack.
"You did well."
Before Mo Li could speak, Rimuru hurriedly praised him.
"Indeed, you handled this well. As for the remaining items, they're yours."
Mo Li had never been stingy with praise or rewards for subjects who performed well.
"Thank you, Lord Morax. Thank you, Lord Rimuru."
Gobta hurriedly thanked them.
"What's this young man's name?"
At that moment, Kaijin came over to Mo Li and Rimuru.
"Oh, let me introduce him. This is Gobta, a subject of Ari's and mine."
Rimuru introduced Gobta to Kaijin.
"And this is Master Kaijin, the technical master Ari and I found, as well as the Dwarf Kingdom's number one blacksmith."
Rimuru introduced Kaijin to Gobta.
"Oh, so you're Master Kaijin. Hello, hello, hello. I'm Gobta, a subject of Lord Rimuru and Lord Morax."
Gobta grabbed Kaijin's hand and shook it.
"Hello, Gobta. I'm Kaijin. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Kaijin was exceptionally straightforward and did not mind Gobta's lack of manners at all.
"Lord Rimuru, where are you going?"
Gobta asked. He had been puzzled earlier, and now he finally could not hold back his question.
"I don't know either. Kaijin is taking us there. Are you coming too?"
Rimuru paused before answering Gobta.
"Yes, come along. The more people, the better."
Kaijin laughed loudly.
"C-can I?"
Gobta glanced toward Mo Li.
Sensing Gobta's gaze, Mo Li responded.
"If you want to go, then come with us."
"Thank you, Lord Rimuru. Thank you, Lord Morax."
Gobta said gratefully.
"All right, enough talk. Let's hurry and get going. I can hardly wait anymore."
Rimuru suddenly said.
Before you continue
