((Note: Now I will have to pause in February for this story. I am moving & packing, sort of. Let's do this!))

No POV
Rimuru, Kirby, Rigur, Gobta, & two other Goblins are riding the Tempest Wolves, heading towards Dwargon.

Rimuru(Narrated): Rimuru, Kirby, & their friends follow the Ameld River north in search of artisans for clothing & houses for the Goblins. They're heading to Dwargon, the Kingdom of the Dwarves. He's accompanied by Rigur & two other Goblins, & Gobta, who say he's been to Dwargon before, is their guide. The tempest Wolves that evolved from the Direwolves run as fast as the wind.

Kirby: Hey, no need to push yourself too hard.

Ranga: Yes, Master!

Ranga & The Tempest Wolves then went faster, scaring Riumru.

Rimuru: Why are you going even faster?!

The sun is setting, everyone is resting, Kirby, Rimuru, & Rigur are watching the river.

Rimuru: Rigur-kun, who gave your brother his name?

Rigur: Sir, I'm told he received his name from a passing Demon called Lord Gelmud. He saw promise in him.

Rimuru: Gel...?

Rigur: Gelmud. He's an officer in the Demon Lord's army.

Rimuru: Oh...

Kirby(Mind): Wait, Demon Lord's army?! There's a Demon Lord?

Rimuru(Mind): Veldora said there was a hero, too... I hope I never end up meeting them. Sounds like nothing but trouble.

Kirby then looked at Ranga drinking. He then looked at him. The next day, we started their travel as Kirby then membered what he asked Ranga.

Flashback brought to you by Animal Kirby

Kirby: Hey, Ranga...

Ranga: Master?

Kirby: I killed your father, which means you should want revenge, right? Don't you think about that at all?

Ranga: I do think about it. But, Master, you not only spared us after defeating us in battle, you also gave us a new name. I have only gratitude toward you, & no resentment at all. Our loyalty belongs to both of you & you alone, Master.

It was Nighttime as the meat legs are cooking on an open fire.

Rimuru: Gobta.

Gobta: Yes. Sir?

Rimuru: What is the town we're heading for like?

Gobta: W-Well... It's officially called the "Armed Nation of Dwargon." It's a beautiful city constructed from a modified natural cave system, & it's home to not only dwarves, but elves, humans, & lots more.

Kirby & Rimuru: Elves?!

Rimuru is fantasizing about the elves.

Rimuru(Mind): Elves, huh?

Kirby: Uh oh, we lost him.

Gobta: The dwarf king, Gazel Dwargon, is known as the Hero King. He's deeply admired by all the people.

Rimuru: Elves... Elves...

Kirby bopped Rimuru's head to snapped him out of his dream.

Kirby: Is it okay for monsters like us to enter Dwargon?

Rigur: No need to worry. Dwargon is a neutral free-trade city. All fighting is prohibited by the king.

Rimuru: I see...

Rigur: & that's made possible by the Armed Nation of Dwargon's immense military might. It's said that the dwarven army has been undefeated for a thousand years.

Kirby: A thousand years?

Rimuru: That is impressive!

Rimuru(Mind): No one would be dumb enough to get on that king's bad side.

Gobta/Rigur: Last time I went, they tried to pick a fight with me outside the gate.../There won't be any trouble!

Rimuru: Hm?

Rimuru(Telepathy): Kirby, I'm pretty sure a huge flag just went up...

Kirby(Telepathy): It isn't you?

Rigur: Hey, Great Kirby & Great Rimuru. They've cooked up nicely!

Rimuru(Narrated): It's said that it can take a Goblin two months or more to walk to the Dwarven Kingdom. With the help of Ranga & his packmates, Rimuru's & Kirby's party traversed the same distance in just three days.

The party then made it in front of The Armed Nation of Dwargon.

Rimuru(Mind): So that's where the Elves... I mean, the Dwarves are, huh? I hope some beautiful Elves... I mean, some skilled Dwarves are waiting there for us.

Rigur: Are you sure both of you want to go in with just Gobta, Great Rimuru & Great Kirby?

Rimuru: Yeah. We don't want to draw too much attention by going in a big group. We'll take Gobta along to show us the way.

Rigur: But...

Gobta: We'll be fine!

Ranga: Master...

Kirby: Don't worry. We'll be back soon, so wait for us here.

Kirby, Rimuru, & Gobta are heading to the Dwargon Kingdom while the rest is staying behind.

Kirby POV
Gobta, Rimuru, & I are now in line to be entered the kingdom.

Rimuru: This is quite a line. They must be strict about checking everyone.

Gobta: Once we're inside, we can move around as we please, though.

I then looked at RImuru as I somehow knows what he thinking.

Kirby: You do know, I heard & see those thoughts.

???: Hey! Hey, hey, hey!

The three of us then turn around to see two rough people behind us.

RR #1: What's a couple of monsters doing here?

RR #2: We're not inside yet, so we can still kill it, right?

Rimuru: Hey, Gobta-kun, did you hear something?

Gobta: Yes, I did... I was beat up here last time I tried to get in, too. It's the fate of us weak monsters.

RR #1: Hey, weakling monster! Don't you ignore us!

RR #2: Wait, isn't a talking slime pretty rare? I bet we could make a fortune off of it!

Rimuru: Gobta. Do you remember our first rule?

Gobta: Of course, sir! Rule one: no attacking humans!

Rimuru: All right, now, close your eyes & cover your ears.

Gobta: Huh?

Rimuru: Don't look this way, whatever you do.

Gobta: Got it!

Gobta then cover his ears & close his eyes. Rimuru then looked at me.

Rimuru: You don't mind?

Me: Not at all.

I then walked to the Rough Riders.

Me: I will give a choice: Please walk away from this.

RR #1: You're just a puny, little weakling monster! Don't you mess with us!

RR #2: You're dead now! I was gonna let you live, but you've pissed us off!

I then use my Staff ability as I am wearing a red cap with a salmon pattern, with its golden band curving upward near the forehead up to a dark blue gem with a gold rim. I then jab both of their balls hard for them to not get up for a while.

Rimuru: Hey, Kirby. I think there are reinforcement.

I then looked to see three people. I then disable my Staff ability & inhale all five of their weapon.

Great Sage: Analyze complete. The broadsword has granted you the Sword ability. The daggers has grant you the Ninja ability. The Axe granted you the Hammer ability. The magic staff grants you many abilities: Beam, Fire, Ice.

Me(Mind): Nothing from the Sage?

???: Hey!

I then turn to see the guards coming to us as they are questions.

Guard #1: Two slimes?

The next thing I knew, we landed in jail. Gobta was tied up, Rimuru is in a barrel, & I was in... a mini jail. I then looked at Gobta to find out he is asleep.

Jailer #1: Well...

Rimuru: Uh, right! Actually... that's all.

Kaido: Well, since you're two slimes & a goblin, they probably saw you as easy targets.

Rimuru: We were only trying to scare them off, really...

Me: We're very sorry for all the trouble!

Kaido: Well, what you've said agrees with witness reports. Just this once, I'll let you three--

Guard #2: Captain! We've got trouble!

The guard then come running to Kaido.

Guard #2: There's an Armorsaurus in the mine!

Kaido: What?! Where's the suppression force?

Guard #2: They're already on route, but Garm & his brothers were deep in the mine gathering magic ore, & they were badly hurt!

Kaido: Do we have potions?

Guard #2: Not enough. We've allotted most of them to war preparations.

Kaido: Those guys are like brothers to me! W-We can't waste time! Start looking for potions!

Rimuru: Sir.

Kaido: Gather all you can, whatever it takes!

Rimuru: Sir.

Rimuru tap Kaido's back.

Kaido: Huh?

Kaido then looked inside the barrel, & out of the cell.

Kaido: How dare you leave your cell?!

Rimuru: Now, now, this isn't the time for that, is it? Look. You need that, don't you?

Kaido: What's that?

Rimuru: Healing potion. The best around! You can drink it or apply it directly!

Kaido: Huh?

Rimuru: Why not give it a try?

Kaido was a bit hesitant, but unlocked the door.

Guard #2: Captain! You're going to trust the world of a monster?

Kaido: We don't have time!

Kaido then close the lid of the barrel & then, started to carried it.

Kaido: Let's go!

Guard #2: Yes, Captain Kaido!

Kaido: You'd better stay in your cell!

Kaido & the guard then left. I then use my mallow body to get through the bar from the mini cell, then the big cell. Rimuru then looked at me.

Rimuru: I was wondering if you can get out.

Me: Well, that would be a surprise. Plus, I was raise to obey our modern laws.

I then went back into my cell as Rimuru did the same. During our time in prison, Rimuru is learning that his skills are helping us kill time as he is using the threats for shape. I looked at Gobta as he now hanging upside down.

Me: Gobta is a heavy sleeper.

We then heard footstep as we looked to see Kaido with three other people in front of our cell.

Kaido: You saved the,. I thank you.

Dwarf #1: I heard you gave us that potion! Thank you!

Rimuru: Don't mention it.

Dwarf #2: My arm was nearly ripped off. Even if I'd survived, I would've lost my job. Thank you!

Rimuru: You're very welcome.

The third one grunt happily.

Dwarf #1: Really, thanks so much!

Dwarf #2: We owe you!

Kaido then unlocked our cell to let us out.

Rimuru: Are we free?

Kaido: Naturally.

Kaido then bring us to a table with food, bread, & drinks.

Kaido: I've never seen such remarkable potion before. It won't be enough to thank you, but if you ever need anything, just ask me.

Rimuru: In that case...

Rimuru then explained the situation.

Kaido: I see. In that case, I'll introduce you to a skilled blacksmith.

Me: We'd appreciate that.

Kaido: No need for thanks! Just leave it to me!

Kaido is now showing them inside the Dwargon Kingdom.

Rimuru: I can tell we're in dwarven country! It looks so much more civilized than the Goblin Village.

Kaido: This way.

Rimuru & I then went to Kaido.

Kaido: Don't get lost, now.

Kaido then lead up to the blacksmith shop.

Rimuru: Wow!

I am amazed at the weapons & armor including the shining sword.

Kaido: Yeah, that right there. It's the guy who made that. The blacksmith we're about to meet.

Kaido then took us in front of the door.

Kaido: This is the place. I guarantee his skills are top-notch! Hey, Bro, you here?

Rimuru: Bro?

Rimuru & I then followed him as they see a blacksmith straightening out a sword.

Blacksmith: Hey, Kaido. Give me a sec.

Kaido: Sure.

Rimuru: Forgive us for interrupting.

Kaido: That's my older brother, Kaijin.

I then looked to my left & shocked to the three Dwarves we have seen here.

Kaijin: Two slimes? Friend of yours, boys?

Garm: Kaijin, this is the slime we told you about.

Dord: The one that saved us when we were hurt yesterday.

Myrd then agreed.

Kaijin: Oh, so this is the one! What about the other one?

Kaido: He has stopped the group that causes them trouble.

Kaijin then went to us & sit down to our level.

Kaijin: Both of you have my thanks.

Rimuru: Oh, really, it was nothing...or maybe it was?

Kaijin: So, what can I do for you?

Rimuru & I explain it to Kaijin about the situation.

Kaijin: I see. I get what you're saying. But I'm sorry... We're pretty backed up at the moment. Thanks to the impossible order a certain numskull minister put in...

Me: Impossible order?

Kaijin: We might be going to war soon, so he asked for twenty longswords...by the end of the week, no less. I'm short on materials, so I've only made one so far.

Kaido: Then, couldn't you have told him it wasn't possible & refused?

Rimuru: Good point.

Kaijin: Don't be dumb! I did tell him that, at first! But then that damned Minister Vesta said...He had the nerve to say that! Could you have let that slide?! That bastard!

Me(Mind): I am surprised I didn't experience that.

Rimuru: You say you're short on materials?

Kaijin: Yeah, I need a special ore called magic ore.

Garm: We were trying to dig some up yesterday...

Dord: ...but that Armorsarurs showed up.

Myrd then agreed.

Rimuru: I see.

Garm: But that mine was pretty well cleared out, anyway.

Dord: There wasn't any ore left.

Myrd agreed.

Kaijin: And even if I did have the materials, it takes two weeks to make twenty swords! Yet I have to get them to the king in five days. They contracted smiths all over the kingdom & allotted the work to all of us. If I can't do it, my certification as a smith could be revoked.

Kaido: Bro...

Rimuru: That really sucks.

I then remember something.

Me: Rimuru, the magic ores that we swallowed!

Rimuru: Oh yeah! Old man...

Both Rimuru & I then spit out a magic ore.

Rimuru: Can you use that?

Kaijin then looked at the magic ore.

Kaijin: Wait... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! That's magic ore! & it's unbelievably pure!

Rimuru: Hey, old man, are you blind?

Kaijin: Huh?

Kaijin then took the goggles off to see it better.

Kaijin: It's not even magic ore! It's already been processed! It's a cluster of magisteel!

Rimuru: Precisely.

Kaijin: We can make even stronger swords with this! It can't be... These entire clusters is... Y-You're sure I can have this? We'll pay you handsomely, of course!

Rimuru: Well, now... I wonder what I should do...

Me: Hold on, Rimuru. You said, "We." Who is your apprentice?

Kaijin: Oh, yeah. Hey!

Kaijin called his apprentice as he... well, it came out & walked in front of us. It... is a waddle dee. Waddle Dees have tan, pear-shaped faces, chestnut-colored eyes and no mouth. They have a round body, honey feet, small stubby arms, and rosy cheeks. Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee wears a dark gray apron with a pouch on its left side. They also wear a brown hat with dark gray goggles that have navy blue lenses with silver lining. On their apron, hands, and face are dirt smears. Rimuru & I then turn to each other as the shock is on our face. Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee is analyzing both magisteel clusters.

Kaijin: So what is it you both want? I'll do anything in my power for it!

Rimuru: That's what I wanted to hear.

Rimuru then stand on his magisteel cluster as the stare down request.

Rimuru: I'd like you to find some fellow artisans who'll come to my village to teach their crafts to the villagers.

Kaijin: That's all you want?

Rimuru: Our priority right now is the "shelter & clothing" part of food, shelter, & clothing. I'd also like to get some clothing for future use, as well as weapons & armor.

Kaijin: That's easy!

Garm: But...

Dord: Even if you start on those swords now...

Me: Can you finish in time?

Kaijin: Well, we'll do what we can, right?

Weapon-shop waddle dee then nodded.

Kaijin: All right, let's get started!

Garm, Dord: Right!

Rimuru: Oh, yeah. Hey, old man... You said you've already made one, right Can I see it?

Kaijin: Oh... Hey.

Garm then bring the sword that they made.

Rimuru: It's magnificent. Even an untrained eye like our can tell you have real skill. The blade looks like it's shining.

Kaijin: It has a magisteel core. Put simply, it's a sword that matures in the image of its user.

Rimuru: Amazing! I'm gonna borrow this sword!

Rimuru then "swallowed" the sword as it disappeared.

Garm: The sword...

Dord: What did you...

Kaido: Rimuru, you...

Rimuru: Just give me a second. Use some magisteel clusters to make some copies.

Rimuru then spit out the sword & another 20 swords that is identical to the one they already made.

Rimuru: Twenty longswords made from magisteel clusters!

Dwarves: What?!

Rimuru: A party?

Kaijin: Yeah! I made my delivery on time, thanks to you!

Rimuru: But you don't have to do that for me.

Garm: Aw, come on! There'll be lots of cute elf girls there!

Rimuru: Elf?!

Dord: Yeah! It's a place called "Butterflies of the Night" where girls of all ages, from young to mature, wait on you hand & foot!

Rimuru: Butterflies...

Myrd then agreed.

Rimuru: Speak, man!

Kaijin: C'mon, Rimuru. It won't be a party without you.

Garm: Yeah!

Rimuru: Well, if you insist, I suppose I'll have to.

Garm: That's the spirit!

Rimuru then looked at me as I looked at him.

Me(Mind): Something tells me that we might be heading to jail.

The dwarves then takes us to a night club called, "Butterflies of the Night," where the elves are there.

Elf #1: Oh, Kaijin! How nice to see you!

Elves: Welcome!

I can hear Rimuru's thoughts.

Elf #2: Oh, how cute!

One of the elves then hugged Rimuru.

Me(Mind): I know Rimuru is too happy for this.

One of the elves picked me up & hugged me. They are "enjoying" our company.

Kaido: After the way you resisted coming here, you sure seem to be enjoying yourself.

Rimuru: Huh?

Me: Your expression, Rimuru...

Rimuru: N-No, I wouldn't say that.

The dwarves are grinning at Rimuru.

Elf #3: Well, come on! Let's drink!

Elves: Yeah!

The groups are sitting sown in a booth as Rimuru is sitting on one of the elf's lap while I am on the dark elf's lap. I will admit one thing: I am secretly enjoying this.

((DONE! RIMURU & KIRBY HELPED THE DWARVES WITH THEIR ORDER & ENJOYING THE NIGHT WITH THE ELVES. WHO IS PLAN ON INTERRUPTING THEM? UNTIL THEN, STAY SHOCKING!!))
