"Lord Rimuru, dinner is about to be served, don't be anxious."
Shion was still in the back room, saying words to reassure Rimuru.
Listening to what Shion said, Rimuru felt even more relieved.
"I'm definitely in for a treat today."
Rimuru is still daydreaming about the feast in his dreams.
When Benimaru, Old Man White, and Souei saw this scene, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
"Old Man White Do you want to remind Lord Rimuru."
Benimaru whispered to Old Man White next to him.
Watching the interaction between Benimaru and Old Man White, Gobta, who was waiting for the meal, was even more excited.
"Sister Shion, the cooking is definitely delicious. Benimaru and the chef are definitely plotting behind the scenes to steal it. I will have to hurry up and try to eat more."
As I thought about it, I moved my seat closer to the table.
Old Man White, who was standing aside, looked at this scene with complex emotions in his eyes.
"Apprentice, I will burn incense for you next year today."
Then I took another look at Rimuru, full of expectations.
"Forget it, looking at Lord Rimuru's expectant expression, it's better not to disturb Lord Rimuru. Let's just think about how to escape."
Old Man White Thinked about it carefully and decided to forget it. If I couldn't save myself, how could I think about other people?
"Then Old Man White, why are you running away?"
Feeling the passing of time, Benimaru looked towards the back room and anxiously asked Old Man White how to escape. If Shion were to come out, they would have a huge reason and would have to take a bite before leaving. At that time, it would not be a matter of whether to eat or not, but someone would be killed.
"You are still young after all. Watch my performance."
Old Man White glanced at the eager Benimaru and couldn't help but sigh. Isn't this simple? Just say that there is something unfinished at work, and can you finish it?
Before Old Man White could show off his acting skills, a familiar voice came. Old Man White looked back and it was Souei who had said nothing just now.
I saw Souei directly transformed into six clones, and suddenly knelt down in front of Rimuru. He said respectfully to Rimuru.
"Lord Rimuru, I just remembered that I had just been assigned a position and there were some things I forgot to deal with, so I left first."
There was no panic in the respectful words, and it was true at first glance.
Seeing this scene, Old Man White and Benimaru couldn't help but open their mouths.
"Good guy, I see that you Souei are usually a very obedient young man. I never thought that you, a thick-browed man with big eyes, would stab me in the back. You dare to steal my excuse."
Old Man White looked at Souei and his beard was a little angry.
"Is that so?"
Rimuru looked at Souei's expression of "I dedicate everything to my work" and immediately believed it. Who would hate a person who likes to contribute to the collective?
"Would you like to do it after dinner?"
Rimuru thought about it and made a good suggestion to Souei.
"No, Lord Rimuru, I won't even be able to eat until I finish my work."
When Souei heard Rimuru's suggestion, he almost lost control of his facial expression in fear.
"Okay, you go ahead and do it."
Rimuru is becoming more and more satisfied with Souei. He is really a good subordinate who makes people worry-free.
After hearing Rimuru's reply, Souei disappeared instantly.
Looking at Souei's efficiency, Rimuru couldn't help but give Souei a thumbs up in his heart.
And this is Old Man White slowly getting up.
"Lord Rimuru, I'm not very hungry either, so I'll leave first."
Old Man White said slowly. Of course, if you didn't look at his slightly trembling hands, Benimaru on the side would really believe it.
"What's wrong, Old Man White, are you not feeling well?"
Rimuru saw that Old Man White was also leaving, and then asked with concern.
Seeing the worried expression on Rimuru's face, Old Man White felt condemned in his heart. But after thinking about the food Shion cooked, he just condemned it in his heart. It was better than lying in bed for a few days.
"Nothing? I'm just getting older and always like to worry about things. I'm a little worried about that boy Souei. I'll go take a look. Don't worry about me, Lord Rimuru. You guys can eat first."
As Old Man White spoke, he began to silently circulate the magic elements in his body, and Old Man White's figure slowly disappeared from the place at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Benimaru on the side looked at the back of Old Man White slowly leaving, his eyes full of despair.
"Old Man White, how can you not save me even if you die?"
Benimaru roared desperately in his heart.
Feeling Benimaru and Old Man White beside them, they couldn't bear it. They simply turned their heads and stopped looking at Benimaru, and hurriedly activated their magic elements to leave.
At this time, Benimaru also didn't know how to run.
All the good reasons were used up by Souei and Old Man White. With his IQ, he really couldn't think of a good solution.
Who asked him to put all his attribute points into fighting?
Feeling that the time for dinner is getting closer and closer. Benimaru began to sweat on his head.
Looking at Benimaru's appearance, Rimuru said with some worry.
"Benimaru, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay, Lord Rimuru."
Benimaru stuttered and said.
At this time, I saw the large water cup belonging to Gobta on the table.
"Gobta, lend me your water glass and let me drink some water."
"No problem."
Gobta heard such a trivial matter and immediately agreed.
After hearing Gobta's reply, Benimaru picked up a large cup of water and drank heavily.
"???"
Gobta looked confused at this time, are you so thirsty?
"And is everyone so busy?"
At this time, Gobta had not realized the seriousness of the problem, but then Gobta changed his mind.
"But it's great, now no one will compete with me for food. In this way, all the food cooked by Sister Shion will be mine."
"As for Lord Rimuru, how much can Lord Rimuru eat with his thin arms and legs, no butt and no breasts? Not all of them are mine."
"Whahahaha!!!"
Thinking of this, Gobta laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming.
"That Benimaru, aren't you going to eat?"
Seeing this scene, Rimuru frowned slightly.
"It's okay, Lord Rimuru, I just lack water. You don't need to worry about me."
After Benimaru finished speaking, he started pouring water again.
"So that's it? I thought it was because of landmines?"
Rimuru suddenly realized. After all, it is really hot today.
At this time, Rimuru has not yet felt that the crisis is slowly coming.
"Okay, lunch is ready."
At this time, a familiar voice came, and it was Shion who was cooking for them in the back room.
Hearing this sound, Benimaru was frightened and trembled, and quickly put down the water glass.
I saw Shion walking out wearing a big apron and carrying two big plates.
Hearing this voice, Gobta immediately became excited.
