Gafan, who was shaken all over by the sudden attack, directly stretched out his hand to firmly catch the opponent's elbow that tried to push again, and said angrily with a look of disapproval on his face.

"I told you that my waist is ticklish. I'm warning you not to push it with your elbow again, otherwise I will fight back!"

"Hehe, I know, but Gafan, you are really nice."

Looking at the opponent's feigned disgust, Rimuru, who was still a little eager to try to sneak up on the opponent's waist and prank him, now had a cute smile on his face.

"I'm really surprised that I'm not angry at all."

"How can I not be angry at all? I am not a Bodhisattva." Gafan replied without giving any face, but there was really no negative emotion in his lazy tone.

"Hey, Gafan, your personality is really awkward, but forget it, do you want any compensation? Just tell me, you're welcome...wait, what's that look in your eyes?"

"Nothing...but Rimuru, can you change back to slime state?"

"That's fine, but what do you want to do?"

He replied with a puzzled tone. At the same time, the cute and petite humanoid figure that was originally holding his knees with his hands suddenly transformed into a cute and round slime. After jumping on the ground twice, when he was about to say something else, Rimuru suddenly I found myself being picked up by someone.

"???"

Rimuru looked speechlessly at Gafan who held him in his arms and looked healed, and couldn't help but complain.

"I wanted to ask before, Gafan, do you like slime very much?"

"Absolutely."

Gafan, who had completely relaxed, just held Rimuru in the slime state and slowly fell down to the floor behind him again. He didn't think it was dirty. After all, it seemed that someone carefully cleaned the place every day and there was no trace of it. What dust.

"To make up for it, just let me hold you for a while. Well, you can also give me some lunch."

"Wow, Gafan, you really don't have any desires."

There was some helplessness in Rimuru's tone, but he did not resist the other person's behavior of holding him, and he also thoughtfully created a slime clone and placed it under the back of the other person's head.

He has completely seen that the other person is just a good person with a bit of an awkward personality, so he does not object to Gafan's approach.

Although he didn't understand why Gafan liked slime so much.

And this act of compensation was indeed enough for Gafan.

He just lay lazily on the floor and relaxed, holding the round and slightly cold slime in his arms, occasionally touching him with his hands, and just looking at the nothing ceiling above with nothing to do. .

Speaking of which, it seems like this is the first time he has been so relaxed in another world, right?

I had been thinking of ways to go back in a hurry. After all, let’s not talk about myself. I was just fine staying in my own world. However, for no reason and without any warning, I was dragged into a different world. I always felt bad.

But this time the person involved didn't care much, and hurried back. In addition, the world now seems not as dangerous as he thought, so...

Can he relax here for a few days?

Speaking of which, had you always been too "eager" before?

Ah, it’s so troublesome to think about these things, I feel a little sleepy.

In his empty mind, he had a rare free time to think wildly. Gafan suddenly felt that his eyelids were starting to feel a little heavy. Well, it seemed that he really wanted to take a good rest...

Ainz Ooal Gown, who had been standing up from the ground for a while, silently lowered his head and looked at the ground, holding his friend Gavan who seemed to be falling asleep.

Their eyes met.

Gafan suddenly woke up: "..."

I almost forgot about you.

Chapter 56: On what kind of courage people’s hobbies can bring

Sitting on the floor, leaning against the sofa, holding a cute slime in his arms, resisting the desire to complain about why everyone is sitting on the ground when there is a sofa, Gafan looked at Ainzi who was also sitting on the floor in front of him. Er Gong, I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

The atmosphere became a little silent for a moment, and there were three people in the spacious room, but it seemed quiet.

No, it can't go on like this. He has to say something to liven up the tense atmosphere.

Ga Fan thought in his heart, the eldest sister said that his low emotional intelligence must be corrected, otherwise no girls will like him, so now let's try his high emotional intelligence and talkative skills to see how much he has grown!

So, Gafan pondered and pondered, and finally spoke clearly, holding back a sentence that was the culmination of his high emotional intelligence.

"Hey, have you eaten?"

"puff!"

Rimuru, who was held in Gafan's arms, couldn't hold it back and laughed. Then he seemed to realize that his behavior was inappropriate, and suppressed his laughter again, making his whole ball tremble slightly.

He also stretched out a cute little tentacle and kept gently patting Gafan's arm.

Gafan looked hopeless: "..."

His mouth is really stupid.

"...I don't need to eat in this body right now."

Ainz Ooal Gown, who seemed to have a flash of green light, was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a calm and dignified tone.

However, the serious atmosphere at the scene did become a lot more relaxed.

"Gafan, I heard what you said before. Could you please ask you a few questions?"

"Well, it's okay."

While Gafan was replying, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the tentacle that wanted to secretly poke his waist, and then retaliated directly without hesitation, using his two hands as if kneading dough, he picked up the slime state. Rimuru.

"..."

Ah, no, no, this is too decompressing. You have to be more restrained, otherwise you will get addicted to it.

Gafan, who felt as if he had developed some strange hobby, quickly stopped his movements and changed back to holding the other person.

"Then I'll take the liberty to ask, Gafan...After my previous observations, you seem to be very familiar with us. I mean, you are very familiar with us before we meet."

Ainz Ooal Gown looked into Gafan's eyes and asked in a somewhat doubtful tone.

"Let me ask, do you know what species Rimuru and I are 'originally'?"

"I know, humans."

To Ainz Ooal Gown's expectation, Gafan did not hesitate and replied directly and calmly: "To be precise, you are office workers. I know that you all came from modern human society."

Looking at the "I'm waiting for your explanation" look on the skull's face, and Rimuru who felt suddenly motionless in his arms, Gafan thought for a while and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he continued.

"For some reasons, I know some people from other worlds quite well. I don't know how to explain them specifically, so just treat them as my special exception."

Some perfunctory answers, but no malice was felt.

"Forget it, let's skip this topic."

The invisible and obscure detection magic dissipated. Ainz Ooal Gown thought for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he asked again.

"Nagavan, do you... have a way to send me and Rimuru back to the 'original' world?"

When he said this, his tone was a little uneasy and inexplicably complicated. Rimuru was probably in the same mood as him at this time, but then, these thoughts disappeared immediately.

"Well, I'm sorry, I can't do it." Gafan rubbed the slime in his arms a few times and said apologetically, "Because your time travel was not caused by me, so I don't know how to send you off. go back."

These words made Ainz Ooal Gown let go of some of his obsessions, and he sighed helplessly.

"That's it...that's fine, let's forget it."

With that said, Ainz Ooal Gown also stood up from the ground and prepared to walk outside.

"I will wait for the human named Xiaolin to go back and leave this world with you. Gafan, it's nice to meet you. From now on, just call me Momonga. The name Ainz Ooal Gown... .I won’t use it in this world for now.”

"Wait, Momonga."

At this time, Gafan suddenly stopped the other party unexpectedly. He looked at Momonga, whose attitude was much gentler than he expected, and looked back and forth between him and Rimuru in his arms for a few times. , hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

"Actually, you can stay in this world. I feel that you don't hate it here, you even like it a little, and you have even made the friends you long for. You don't have to go back to that 'empty' world. of the grave.”

These words made Momonga pause and glance at Gafan in surprise, but he still shook his head slightly and rarely smiled.

"Maybe you are right. After all, all my friends in the big tomb are no longer there, but it is not considered 'empty'. There is still everything they left behind."

"There are still many people there waiting for me to go back. Since Gafan you can understand some things about me, you should also know that I am the only one left. In my opinion, those guys are like my friends. Although the group of 'children' left behind may feel a little lonely when they return, I cannot leave them alone."

Indeed, Momonga liked the town that Rimuru created. He had new friends here who were on equal terms, as well as a group of acquaintances who didn't care about his original identity at all.

Here he felt the relaxation and tranquility that he had not seen for a long time, and the humanity in his heart that was constantly losing was gradually maintained.

He can do nothing here without having to shoulder any responsibilities or the adoration expectations of his subordinates. He can also go wandering around the streets and be enthusiastically surrounded by a group of children who discover him, competing to be the first. Climbing up his current tall body.

When you want to be an adventurer, you can just disguise your identity and go to the human kingdom without any purpose. When you want to take a rest, you can just stay in a daze under a tree in this monster town, bask in the sun, or Ask Rimuru to go to the bathhouse and soak in the hot springs together.

He thinks this life is quite good now.

But... the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick was really important in his heart, and he had been looking forward to the fact that his other friends might also appear in that world.

He would remain in the great tomb where only he was, waiting for the return of his friends, along with all that was left of them.

Therefore, Momonga finally rejected Gafan's proposal.

Then, he turned his eyes to Rimuru in Gafan's arms, smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Rimuru, I'm sorry. It seems that I will be leaving in a few days. I wonder if you will feel a little lonely because of this. But that will be a few days later. Now you want to go to a hot spring with me again. ?"

As he said that, his pale bone hand was about to touch the slime's round body, and then...

Got it empty.

Because Gafan subconsciously raised Rimuru with both hands to avoid it.

"?"

This made Momonga stunned for a moment, but he didn't care. Instead, he stretched out his hand to grab it again, and then missed it again.

"..."

In the spacious room, a skeleton and a human with dark circles holding a slime tightly in his arms began to stare at each other.

Someone's eyes, which were originally a bit timid, now looked full of the meaning of not being intimidated by me.

Rimuru, who was being fought over by two people: "..."

No, why do you all like slime so much?

Chapter 57: Are there too many demon kings in this town?

"Wow, Gafan, I was just surprised."

On the street, Rimuru, who was still in slime state in Gafan's arms, said a little speechlessly: "For people who meet for the first time, Momonga's usual appearance is quite scary. I didn't expect him to want to." When you took me away, you refused so firmly. "

In the room where the atmosphere was tense at that time, Momonga and Gafan, who was unwilling to hand over Rimuru, really stared at each other for a long time, and finally left alone in anger.

Rimuru, who was in conflict at the time, was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Normally this kind of situation would happen when Shion and Shuna were competing for him as a pillow.

Unexpectedly, one day he would be in a situation where he would be fought over by two men.

It feels so weird.

"Well, it's a subconscious behavior."

Mentioning this matter, Gafan looked away with inexplicable guilt.

He himself didn't expect that he would react like that at that time. After all, he was usually quite easy to talk to.

How to put it, well... I'm just simply unhappy.

This awkward look also made Rimuru feel interesting when he was holding her.

"By the way, Gafan, speaking of which, why are you floating around all the time without wearing shoes?"

"Are you complaining about this now?"

"After all, speaking depends on the atmosphere and the situation. I'm very mature in this regard." Rimuru's childish voice contained a bit of showoff and pride, but there was no trace of maturity at all.

"Um, okay...wait a minute, it seems like I didn't even realize I was floating away."

At this time, Gafan suddenly realized what he was doing and was stunned.

After all, his floating behavior was so natural, and no one around him complained about it. In addition, the continuous consumption was slightly lower than the energy absorption efficiency of basking in the sun, so unknowingly, he also I subconsciously ignored this.

"......hiss."

This is not okay, he doesn't want to get into any weird habits.
