Crownpis designed a Christmas outfit for Rimuru, but Rimuru was a little dissatisfied——
[Hey, don’t my navel and shoulders have to be exposed? 】
Crownpis's reply was——
[At this time, wearing an ordinary white or black turtleneck shirt underneath is quite harmonious.]
Then she began to explain: "I have been concerned about it since the weather turned cold. Rimuru, is it okay for you to go out barefoot and wearing slippers all day? Even if you have [Heat Change Resistance], it will only make you susceptible to normal
The degree of damage caused by the hot and cold system, it should still be cold."
"Drink more water and heat it up inside your body. It's very interesting." Rimuru said.
"Hey, what are you talking about in private while you're taking this opportunity?" Little brother Gobuta appeared out of nowhere and said, "Have you discussed which women's clothing to choose?"
Rimuru blew a breath of high-temperature water vapor at him in disgust to drive him away, and said to Crounpis, "Well, that's it."
"I see, as long as you are happy. So, what do you think of my clothing proposal? If you are not satisfied, I have another plan that will definitely suit your appearance and is easy to prepare."
Rimuru imagined it. Although Crounpis still mixed and matched materials from those women's clothing, it did basically remove the absolutely girly elements. The overall situation seemed to be good. But he was also a little interested in other options.
Then he asked.
Crownpis replied: "Milim and I have chosen the same thing, and Rimuru happens to have a similar figure. Wouldn't it be nice for the three of us to wear the same 'couple outfit'?"
Crownpiss continued teasing: "There is something simpler - how about a simple red robe or even a quilt directly put on the body?"
"Isn't it better to have a sense of ritual in life?"
So, Rimuru followed the message Crounpis had just sent and asked Shuna to get all the ones he ordered. Then he used the skill "one-click outfit change" on the spot, which immediately received a lot of praise.
"Since the process of the banquet has been settled easily, why not take advantage of Rimuru and I to resolve our personal issues," Cronpis said.
"Yes! I remember Rimuru-sama said that we should give each other gifts at Christmas, right?" Benimaru said.
"Ah, yes, let's communicate more and express our feelings. What's wrong?" Rimuru had a bad feeling.
Benimaru: "Since the day the announcement was made, I have been receiving gifts from girls. I don't know how to return gifts. It would be too rude to cross the gifts and give them away, wouldn't it?"
"Oh, it's hard to deal with a handsome guy being popular. Since there's no explosion, why not discuss it carefully?" Rimuru said with a "refreshing" smile.
But he suddenly remembered: Hongwan was not the only one who was in trouble, but handsome guys like him were not the type to naturally say this; he and the beauties did not seem to have this problem, although he did not tell himself
She is classified as a beautiful girl, but she is still very confident in her cuteness.
But this is not the time to care about this.

At the same time, a group of humans who were originally in the Demon Country taking advantage of the snowy road closures to extend their time for eating and drinking were complaining.
"It was a miscalculation. I didn't expect their preparation efficiency to be so high."
"Why do I have to schedule my work report very recently?"
"I feel like the recent banquet food and activities will become more abundant..."
"Is it because it's winter when supplies are scarce that you can't refuse domestic commissions without an excuse?"
Yom's hero team, Fitz from the Free Guild, and the trio of idiot adventurers had this reaction at this time. Then, they continued to eat at the table and filled their stomachs before setting off!
"Ah? Are you all dejected? Not long ago, you were obviously worried about being unable to return home due to snow?" Crounpis walked into the restaurant and greeted them - with a gloating tone.
"No, it's nothing."
It would be too embarrassing to complain about those things in front of dignitaries from the Demon Kingdom.
"With the current traffic situation, if we can rush back to the towns within the human country, we should be able to make it in time for the banquet, right?" Cronpis said.
"That said, does it make sense? Well, if you can pack some special meals for the banquet in advance and save them for then, we would be very grateful." Kabaru said with a strong smile.
"What are you talking about? Because of this, we have plans to visit human countries recently. If we can make it in time, we can also use the idea of sending Christmas gifts as a gimmick to promote new products in your respective countries. Wouldn't it be nice?
." Crownpis took out a roster and put it in front of them, "This was compiled for me by diplomat Testarossa. The identities and influence of Lord Fitz and Lord Youm are enough to reach them.
How about giving valuable gifts to nobles and officials. In the name of the Demonic Kingdom’s Christmas... we can also give them as a New Year’s festival.”
Youmu said: "It is true that after I became a hero, I had to deal with the nobles, but there are many bad pigs among the nobles, so you have to be careful. But with your strength, there should be nothing to be afraid of."
Fitz said thoughtfully: "There shouldn't be enough time to investigate whether there are any problems with their backgrounds one by one. But... well, at least they don't have a bad reputation, and at least some superficial courtesy exchanges won't be a problem. But it's best.
Don’t deal with you as a monster first. But hiding your identity won’t attract enough attention..."
"Yes, there is a trick!" Elen started to have a bad idea, "Rimuru already has the status of an A-level adventurer, and he also walked with Jing, so his reputation as an adventurer is quite famous, and he also has magic.
As a senior lecturer, right? Even the children of the 'visitors from another world' who no one can handle are being taught properly. How about letting Crounpis pretend to be Rimuru?"
These words made everyone stare at Crounpisi's face and body.
Although they clashed with each other, the difference in temperament and dress made it impossible for anyone to admit their mistake.
So, with a thought, Crounpis used magic to replace the clothes on her body with Rimuru's clothes, tied up her hair, and switched her eyes to the color of the golden eyes she once swallowed.
Then, she cleared her throat and said, "My name is Rimuru, and I am a harmless slime."
"It seems!" the trio of Cabal, Kido, and Elen said in unison.
"But we need to discuss this with Rimuru-dono, right?" Fitz said.
"Don't worry, I will discuss it, hehe."
Rimuru will definitely have to attend the banquet, and Crounpis's clone ability is much more convenient than Rimuru's. Plus Rimuru likes to push troublesome work to others, so he will definitely not refuse.
