Episode 18: Evil Creeps Closer
((Note: I never knew… where evil grew. Let’s do this!))
Kirby POV
After Yuzuriha & I collected the shards for the mirror, we then put it in the bag.
Yuzuriha: That is all the shards.
Me: I will go ahead & put it together at the village.
Yuzuriha: Be careful.
Me: You too.
I hop on my Warp Star & fly out of the forest. I then two powerful magicules, but nothing that can become a problem. I then focus on making it to Rimuru so he can show me how to take a onsen. I then made back, put the frame & the shards in my house. I went to the onsen, but to my surprise, I am being pulled by Shion & Milim. Now, I am sitting in the hot water.
Me: Why am I here instead of with Rimuru?
All three of the girls came for air at the same time.
Milim: What do you think of that?! I won! I can stay underwater longer than you two!
Shion: No, it was I who won.
Shuna: No, it was only by a slight margin, but I won.
Milim: No fair refusing to admit defeat, Shion & Shuna!
Me: It’s a 3 way tie again.
Milim: Okay, then, we’ll do it again! Let’s settle the score!
Shion: Very well. One more time.
Shuna: It’s really not a good idea to stay underwater in the bath, but let’s do it.
Me: Ready… go!
They hold their breath & went underwater. I then think about changing my color, but when I am in deep thought, I am thinking of Tsutsuji & me in a Jacuzzi, naked after losing a bet. I brought back to reality to see the girls. They are enjoying themselves as I thought about finding love in this world, & if they are okay with me like this. The next morning, I saw Milim & the group bringing more giant crab leg.
Gido: So heavy!
Milim then started to laugh.
Milim: Another great haul today!
Eren: Milim’s truly amazing! She can locate monsters right away, so hunting is a breeze!
Milim: Detecting monsters is a piece of cake! We’ll have another feast tonight!
Rimuru: Yep, great work, great work.
Gido: It was a lot of work, all right.
Kaval: Who’s up for a bath & a drink?
Milim: I’m up for a drink!
Milim then laugh, until her & Shion sensed something. I then grabbed Rimuru.
Shion: Who’s there?!
Rimuru(Telepathy): Little brother, this presence…
Me(Telepathy): Yeah…
Treyni then showed up.
Me(Telepathy): Treyni?
Rimuru(Telepathy): No, she’s not quite the same…
Gido: I-It’s a Dryad!
Kaval: I’ve never seen one before…
Trya: I am the Dryad Trya, younger sister of Treyni.
Me: She has a younger sister?!
Rimuru: Uh, anyway, what’s with that form & the murderous aura?
Trya: There is an emergency. Calamity is approaching.
Rimuru: Calamity?
Trya: A Calamity-class monster, Charybdis, has been revived.
Rimuru & Me: Charybdis?
Trya: Its violence equals that of a Demon Lord. My sisters, including Treyni, have set out to slow its progress, but they are no match for it. And it appears Charybdis is heading for this land.
Rimuru: Huh?!
Trya: Against Charybdis, the Ruler of the Skies, waging war on land is futile. I have come to advise you to bolster your defenses & prepare an airborne combat force as soon as possible.
After hearing that, I quickly called in a meeting.
Trya: Charybdis was born long, long ago, & has died & revived many times. It is a violent Ruler of the Skies. No less is expected of the child of Veldora, the Ruler & guardian of the forest.
Rimuru: Veldora’s child?
Trya: Charybdis was generated from a cloud of Veldora’s magicules.
Fuze: If Charybdis has revived, it is a threat greater than a Demon Lord. Unlike a Demon Lord, this is not an opponent we can speak with.
Vesta: You might as well call it a monster with no intelligence. It’s said that it calls shark-like summon monsters called Megalodons from the spirit would to join it in it rampage.
Me: That sounds worse than the Orc Lord…
Trya: The situation could not be worse. Its summoned Megalodons have occupied some lesser dragon corpses that were nearby for some unknown reason.
Rimuru: Huh?
Trya: They number thirteen.
Shuna: Great Rimuru & Great Kirby, what shall we do?
Me: What do we do?
Milim: Haven’t you forgotten something important? That stupid Charybdis…is no match for me!
Milim then revealed her Battle suit.
Milim: I’ll whoop its butt in no time!
Shion: We cannot do that. This is our town’s problem.
Milim: Huh? But I’m their besti—
Shuna: She’s right. It’s wrong to rely on you for everything just because you’re a friend. When Great Rimuru or Great Kirby is in desperate need of help, we would certainly appreciate your assistance then.
Me: Shuna, I was about to tell her that. Plus…
I then see Milim is down.
Me: They are right, Milim. Just have faith in me.
Milim: And I thought… I’d finally get my chance to shine…
Me: Begin preparations to defeat Charybdis!
People: Yes, sir!
Fuze: Defeat it? Are you sure you understand? You’re up against a beast that even the Dryads couldn’t stop.
Me: People can fear what they don’t understand. We can also count on backup from King Gazel, since we signed the treaty. We’ll just do all we can.
Fuze: You aren’t going to run away?
Me: That won’t us any good. My brother & I are the strongest one in this nation.
Rimuru: If it looks like I stand no chance, I’ll run away & think up a new plan, but otherwise, we should see how strong it is with our own eyes, right?
Fuze: I see. Both of you are the leader of the monsters, after all.
Rimuru: We’re not like Humans who are done for if they lose their king.
Fuze: But you know… Both of you think much like we Humans do. It’s hard to see the both of you as monsters.
Rimuru: Hmm, maybe…
Me: It might be hard to believe, but we actually used to be human.
Rimuru: You know about Shizu-san & Yuzuriha-san, right? I think we’re an Otherworlder, just like they was. We died in our world…
We then change into our human forms.
Rimuru: …& reborn as a Slime & Star Warrior.
Fuze is stunned.
Eren: Shizu…
Rimuru: Shizu-san entrusted everything to me as someone from the same homeland.
Me: Same homeland?
Rimuru: Okay, same homeworld, different homeland. We gained this form in exchange for inheriting her will. I can’t go making dumb mistakes in Shizu-san’s form, right?
Eren: I see… So Rimuru really is someone we can trust!
Rimuru: Besides, I made a promise to her.
Eren: A promise?
Rimuru: That I’d clear away the feeling that bind her heart. Our prey is the Demon Lord Leon.
Fuze: The Demon Lord Leon?!
Eren: H-He is?!
Gido: You can’t call a major figure like him your “prey”!
Kaval: I mean, compared to the Demon Lord Leon, I guess Charybdis would be easier to handle… maybe?
Me: Yeah. The Demon Lord Leon comes later. Charybdis comes first.
Rimuru(Narrated): A battle was about to begin. It would take place in between the capital of the Jura Tempest Federation, the city of Rimuru & Kirby, & the Armed Nation of Dwargon. The opponent is…the calamity-class Charybdis.
((DONE! THE BATTLE AGAINST THE CHARYBDIS IS COMING. WILL THE THEEE NATION TAKE DOWN THIS CALAMITY-CLASS THREAT? WHEN WILL KIRBY FIXED THE MIRROR? UNTIL THEN, STAY SHOCKING!!))
