"Hehe, then it's okay. You're busy, I'll take the kids to play. Hmm... I'll take a look." Crounpis said with a smile, and took out a travel planning book that looked like it was made overnight.
When I flipped through the book, I looked very interested.
"So Rimuru-sensei is really the king?" Kenya asked Rimuru curiously.
"Originally, he felt more like the village chief than the king." Gale said.
"After all, this city is called Rimuru, right?" Ryota continued.
Rimuru: "Yes, originally this was indeed a village. Although the country was established long ago, it was only officially established some time after we parted ways with you."
"Excuse me, since Rimuru-sensei is the king, is Princess-sensei your daughter?" Alice asked, tiptoeing and waving, full of gossip.
"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" Crounpisi almost spat out a mouthful of colorless turbid liquid.
Rimuru: "How should I put it? Compared to her, I am the junior, but I am the one who will become the king in the end, hahaha. But you see, the age and seniority of us monsters are different from humans, Princess
Doesn’t it make you look younger?”
"When you explain it, it feels like I'm hiding how old I am! Even though I'm many times older than you, it's true!" Crounpis pointed the corner of the small book at Rimuru's head and knocked it.
.
"Ahem, in short, I am the king of this country, so now that you know how great I am, you should respect me more." Rimuru said to the children.
"What am I doing-"
"I respect the teacher very much!"
Just when Kenya was about to respond to Rimuru's teasing, Alice intercepted him.
"Me too!" Chloe rushed forward and hugged him.
Rimuru smiled and touched Chloe's head. Rimuru knew that in the reincarnations of Chloe's past, there was a timeline where her relationship with him was close enough to kiss, but here he was not to that extent.
Although it's not that I don't like Chloe, I'm still a little awkward.
He pushed her away gently. Although she seemed to be pouting a little dissatisfied, please bear with her for the rest of her trip.
This hug seemed to arouse the dissatisfaction of the other children, and Alice gave him a knife.
"Little Chloe, please don't cause trouble to Teacher Wang."
"Didn't we take an oath together when Rimuru-sensei said goodbye after saving us?"
"That's it."
Then Chloe turned around and gave everyone a super angry look, which scared everyone.
Then they started fighting, and Chloe was a match against four!
"Oh! Little Chloe is so scary when she's angry!"
"Don't hit people with books!"
"When did Chloe become so strong? I can't lose! Princess Anise, Ruthbert is holding her down!"
Finally, Princess Anise picked up Chloë, but Chronoa refused to do it for her.
Children's anger comes and goes quickly.
"You go and play with the princess. Don't be too excited later, accidentally lose control, get carried away and cause trouble for her." Rimuru warned.
"Okay." x 5
"There are so many people now, so don't get lost."
"Yes——" x 4
Only Jian looked a little unconcerned: "Don't worry, we have been living here for a long time, how could we get lost?"
"The teacher is worried that someone like the magician who attacked us last time will appear. The princess teacher will not accidentally die again, right?" Alice said.
"I'm obviously going to have fun, so don't curse me to death." Cronpis said awkwardly.
Rimuru is very reassured about Crownpis. The situation last time will never happen again with the current background and the current layout of the demon kingdom, unless the ancient demon king who came to visit with him launched an attack on the spot.
"What's wrong? Do you seem to be arguing about something?" Sakaguchi Hinata suddenly entered this circle naturally.
Jian Ye also subconsciously said to this person who seemed to have lost a lot of strength because of her short hair: 'Auntie, we--'
"Dang! Zizzi!"
The sword was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. There was a purple-black lightsaber lying in front of him, and another thin sword emitting a faint white light was pierced on it, flashing like electric welding.
"Oh, young Lord Hinata, isn't it too childish to argue with a child about this kind of thing?" Cronpis said with a smile.
"No, I heard that you and Mr. Rimuru have taught these children, so I came here to verify whether your teaching career is qualified as a teacher." Hinata also said with a smile.
"Has there been any change in your mood since you returned? You feel refreshed and have begun to improve your strength?"
Crownpis feels that Hinata's power has become stronger than last time. Crownpis's "torch" has changed several times. The flame intensity of the "torch" now goes from weak to strong, ranging from orange-red (regular magic flame) to blue-white (
Flame of immortality)→Purple (Netherworld attribute)→Pitch black (all negative attributes in the world)→Crimson (flame of the end).
Originally, Hinata felt that black was extremely dangerous to her, but now she can resist it.
"What changes occurred in my mood during those days (three thousand years)?" she asked.
"Guess." Hinata said bluntly.
"But it was indeed too rude to use a sword just now." Chloe said.
Jian couldn't refute and said flatteringly: "Yes, yes, this beautiful big sister."
Then they sheathed each other's swords.
Rimuru introduced Hinata's identity to the children. They were both Shizu's students, and Hinata was considered their senior.
"I heard that you had a fight because of the misunderstanding about the big explosion. The princess teacher lost because of a conspiracy by a certain soulless prince. So who is stronger?" Jian Ye asked.
"It goes without saying that before I awakened, Hinata, who was fully prepared for monster tactics, couldn't beat me one-on-one, and she can't even beat me now." Kraunpi said without hesitation.
"My strength has improved a lot since then, do you want to compete?" Hinata said, but she didn't admit defeat.
Crounpis chuckled: "Hehe, if you hadn't given that (Cronoa's power) to (Chloe) and continued to remain an awakened hero, I would still be afraid of you, but now
You can't. And my status also prevents me from casually accepting duel invitations. I have to compete with the top leaders of the Demon Kingdom, starting with the ten guardians, eight leaders, and four kings below."
Rimuru didn't respond: "...Do we have those positions in our country?"
Crownpis pretended to be serious and said: "With so many powerful demons and demons, it is not too late to appoint them. Now let me remind you, from the moment everyone recognizes your status, if you are casual and ignorant,
Fighting will only lower your reputation."
"But, doesn't the majestic monster princess need to meet more foreign guests?" Hinata asked.
"If that's the case, just send the clone to do this kind of thing, hehehehe."
