The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

After solving the carbon dioxide problem and successfully replicating cola, this ice-cold, refreshing drink became widely popular, quickly becoming a best-selling product throughout the town.

Afterward, Shuna and Shion rarely bothered Rimuru, instead circling around Zun Zun.

Of course, they weren't just fickle.

Rather, they intended to steal skills from Zun Zun, acquire more novel drinks, and learn how to cook, all to win Rimuru's favor.

Unfortunately, even he himself didn't know why his cooking skills were so great, so how could he teach them? Therefore, even after a week, Shuna and Shion's culinary skills hadn't improved in the slightest.

But the unlucky one was Rimuru.

He originally didn't have to eat the dark dishes made by Shion, but Shion, using the reason 'I must let Lord Rimuru see my progress!', forcefully granted Rimuru the skill of Complete Poison Resistance.

Should it be said that it was a blessing in disguise?

"Zun Zun, when do you plan to leave?"

"...Huh?"

One day, while Zun Zun was cooking lunch in the kitchen, Rimuru finally couldn't help but ask. Shuna and Shion were slightly stunned, then looked at their cooking teacher with some reluctance.

Zun Zun then looked at him.

"I see, is it because you really can't stand the explosively disgusting food made by Shion, so you're so eager to chase me away?"

"N-No, that's not it! It's a misunderstanding!"

Under Shion's teary-eyed, aggrieved gaze, Rimuru quickly denied it loudly, indicating that he didn't mean that.

"I was just thinking, Zun Zun, whether you wanted to go out and take a stroll or something. After all, you're different from us monsters, you're human. Ordinary human kingdoms or other kingdoms would accept you, right? Of course, I don't mean to chase you away, please believe me on this point."

That was true.

Chasing away an S-class powerhouse, Rimuru wasn't an idiot. Having Zun Zun here was enough to bring definite stability to the town. Even if the Orc Disaster Gelmud attacked again, he definitely wouldn't be able to make any waves.

He couldn't bind Zun Zun in the name of friendship.

"This world is very big, if Zun Zun wants to go out and take a stroll, it would be a good choice, wouldn't it?"

"Are you afraid that I'll be bored here, or do you feel that it's not good to always keep me here?"

Rimuru showed an awkward expression.

It seemed that it was indeed as Zun Zun thought, he was considering the feelings of his friend first… Such a slime, Zun Zun didn't dislike.

"That's right, actually going out for a stroll is pretty good, but compared to that, I want to go back as soon as possible."

"...Go back?"

"Back to my world."

"Huh???"

Unlike the "visitors from another world" who arrived by chance, they possessed strong souls that could withstand summoning.

If a large magic circle and several magicians activated it at the same time, the success rate would greatly increase, but in order to save trouble, ordinary countries basically wouldn't spend time and money on magicians, often just one or two people casually summoning, and successful cases of summoning while skimping on materials were very rare, and what was usually summoned were children with little ability to withstand it.

Like Miss Shizu who was devoured by Rimuru.

Of course, Miss Shizu was also looking for a way to go back, but due to various reasons, she ultimately failed to return home and died.

"Hmm…"

Zun Zun pondered for a moment, then said, "It wouldn't be accurate to say I was summoned, it would be better to say I was teleported."

So he told Rimuru about the jewel.

"I-Is that so!?" The slime stared with wide eyes, "To be teleported inexplicably, that's really a disaster."

"But it was treated as luck."

Zun Zun's expression was complicated.

The appearance of that jewel must have been due to luck, but the subsequent development should be said to be misfortune… Of course, it was also a fairly standard routine for misfortune to follow every good fortune.

"But clearly you can cross worlds with your physical body, but you can't leave, don't you think it's abnormal?"

"Don't think like that, Rimuru. You must know that some goddesses of wisdom and water can easily purify the highest-ranking liches, but can't even beat the weakest giant toad."

"Is there really such a goddess?"

"Unfortunately, she does exist."

Rimuru's expression was tangled. He didn't think that any goddess would be so weak, so after Zun Zun said it, he had already removed that so-called goddess of wisdom and water from the ranks of goddesses in his heart.

Poor Aqua, even in another world, she is still not recognized as a goddess.

"Okay! Then Zun Zun's goal is to go back, right? If I can help, I will do my best!" Rimuru said this very naturally, but soon became puzzled again: "But how should I go back, and can I go back?"

—If he could go back, he would definitely throw his computer into the bathtub!

Although in his previous life, before being stabbed to death, he asked his junior to do that, but who knew if he really helped, or secretly looked at his browsing history while crying and laughing?

If it was the latter, then his life would be over! …Ah, it's already over, so it's okay.

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, you've already been reincarnated, Rimuru, so don't dwell on such trivial matters."

"Yeah, that's right!"

Rimuru breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his expression became colorful again.

"—Wait a minute, did I just say all that!?"

"Yes, you said everything."

"Ugh!"

He slumped into a puddle, feeling greatly hurt.

"Forget it, that's not important." Then he bounced up again, "Regarding Zun Zun wanting to go back, what should I do? Is there anything I can help with?"

"Actually, the method is very simple, as long as I can break through space, I can go back."

"Is it that simple, really?"

Hearing Zun Zun say this, Rimuru was somewhat surprised. Then, he heard a voice in his mind.

[Answer, you can go back, but the probability is 0.0(repeating)1%. To find your own world outside countless worlds is almost impossible, and once you can't find the way back, you will lose your sense of direction and be affected by the space-time turbulence, forever staying outside the world]

"The probability is so low!?"

It must be said that Great Sage is very rigorous, understanding that mathematics is relative, it clearly gave a negligible possibility even though the probability was almost 0.

"Zun Zun, do you really want to do that? The probability of going back is very low."

"Very low…? But don't worry, I've experienced such things 5 or 6 times, so there's no problem."

"Eh!?"

What was surprising was not such a negligible probability, but that this negligible probability had actually happened several times. Rimuru couldn't help but wonder how good Zun Zun's luck was?

"Hmm hmm, then just find someone who can break through space, right?"

[Answer, Storm Dragon Veldora Tempest can do it]

"Oh, Veldora can do it!?" Rimuru said with slight surprise: "I didn't expect that guy to be so strong, being able to break through space is too strong, right?"

—That's right, that's right, I'm very strong!

Unknown to him, a lonely, tsundere dragon observing in secret had already turned the slime's stomach upside down, and even the Flame Spirit beside him couldn't stop him.

"Is that so, Veldora can do it… But now Veldora is sealed in my stomach due to Infinite Prison, and it will probably take a long time to release him."

Rimuru said with some difficulty: "Zun Zun, can you wait a little longer?"

"Yes, I couldn't ask for more."

Just as Rimuru and the others wanted to keep him because they needed his help, Zun Zun also needed Rimuru and the others.

If he could find a safer and faster way to go back, why would he bother and suffer?

Just wait patiently and spend some everyday life here…

Suddenly, a strange aura came from a distant place, Zun Zun frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked up into the distance.

This place was originally blocked by the kitchen walls, but he seemed to have penetrated the walls and saw the distance.

The Red Oni clan is extremely sensitive to magic power.

This kind of peculiarity became even more prominent after becoming a Godslayer.

And when Rimuru saw that Zun Zun looked strange and felt that something was wrong, before he could ask, his expression also became slightly dignified, obviously receiving information from his subordinates.

Many knights riding pegasi were flying towards the town.

Rimuru immediately issued an order, asking Shion to call Benimaru and Hakurou, and Shuna to issue an emergency order to the villagers, while Zun Zun and Rimuru ran towards the square together.

Soon, everyone gathered in the square.

Then they discovered that about a thousand pegasi were flying from the direction of the Dwarf Kingdom, the individuals averaging below A-rank, but the knights sitting on the pegasi indicated that they were a well-trained armed group.

As everyone knows, thousands of well-trained knights can at least destroy tens of thousands of infantry, and now the entire town has only less than 5,000 residents, a large portion of whom are the old, young, and women.

"Lord Rimuru, what are your plans?"

Benimaru asked him, but he couldn't give a clear answer.

"I don't know what to do either… What are those people going to do, and what their identities are, are all unknown. We'll probably lose if we fight, and I hope to avoid conflict as much as possible…"

"No problem! Just beat them all down!"

Zun Zun gave him a thumbs up.

And this answer was immediately recognized by Shion, truly embodying the setting of being "big-chested and brainless", making Rimuru really want to scold her. But Zun Zun's strength gave Rimuru a lot of confidence, but he still hoped to avoid battle as much as possible.

"If it really comes to that, I'll have to trouble Zun Zun."

"Leave it to me."

The slime wasn't as easy to bully as it looked on the surface.
