After settling the Giant Brothers, Mo Li, Rimuru, and the others returned to the venue and continued receiving representatives from the various races of the Jura Great Forest.
After all, the reception ceremony had been interrupted just after it began, so it needed to continue!
And the next representatives truly gave Rimuru and Benimaru a headache.
