Days passed, everyone who is close to Rimuru was starting to lose hope, though only Diablo knows that Rimuru was indeed still alive. The others was suspicious of his constant leaving but they really didn't interact much to him so they do not know what he really had been up to.

"Rimuru-sama, where are you going?" Diablo asked as Rimuru sling the bag to his shoulder. "I'm going to travel to find this missing one." He replied making Diablo frown in worry. "I'm coming with-"

Rimuru shook his head in disagreement but Diablo insists so he had no choice but to oblige. "Say, Diablo. You said naming a monster is important to the evolution, does my 'death' affected the connection?" He asked as they walked out of the house.

"Yes..." Diablo looked sadden, but then smiled brightly. "But we can still feel the slight connection, so that means that no other can name us again! Fufu~"

Rimuru felt a small smile erupt from his face. "That's good then..."

The day of the priest encounter, Rimu was not allowed to go wonder around the house without anyone with her anymore.

Although she didn't accept the proposal, the couples know that she were still in danger.

"Rimu! Get dressed! We are going to the kingdom of Raja for a product trading!" Her mom announced. "Really?!" She yelled back, for some reason Rimu was excited to see the kingdom of Raja.

"Little miss, we've already prepared your outfit for the trip." The maid bowed making Rimu jump in joy after hearing her mom's reply.

The dress was simple yet formal. The fabric was made of silk though what she hated were the shoes, it had heels. She were still getting used to wear one but since it is a formal meeting to the head of Raja, she didn't complain.

"I'm ready!!"

She jumped in the carriage with a big smile. "Rimu! No running in the halls!" Her dad scold her making her mom giggle.

"Let her be, dear."

A/n: Welp, this is it for today. 🦆
