Phoebio replied with a slightly heavier tone, and his inner irritation became more and more, saying: "And, actually, I surprisingly don't have any resentment towards that town, it's just that... Demon King Milim I really can’t forget the humiliation that guy brought me. I have to find some way to get revenge without causing trouble to Lord Carion.”

"Well, even if you say so, the other party is Demon King Milim. In practice..."

"I know what I've said! But if it's like this, I can't calm down."

After breaking a piece of firewood fiercely again, Phoebio looked at the bonfire swaying in the evening wind and murmured to himself.

"In the final analysis, I am still too weak..."

"Hohohohoho, then, wouldn't it be enough to become stronger?"

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared, which aroused the vigilance and vigilance of everyone present, but he opened his arms and introduced himself without any care.

"Dear guests, I am Fordman, a member of the Moderate Clown Company, the Angry Clown Fordman~"

Fordman bowed politely and said with a strange smile: "I was summoned by the emotions of anger and hatred. Please give me your guidance."

Then, a petite body jumped out from behind him.

"Hello everyone, I am Tia, I am not your enemy."

Under the thoughtful gaze of Phoebio and the vigilant gazes of his subordinates, Tia smiled directly and said something that shocked them.

"If you want to seek revenge from the Demon King, all you have to do is become super strong. All you have to do is become the Demon King~"

Tia looked at Phoebio, whose pupils shrank instantly, and said with an innocent yet evil smile.

"Do you want power? Surprisingly powerful power. Do you want power powerful enough to defeat that Demon King Milim? Yes. Although the danger is great, the reward is also great~ Hey, you heard Pass......"

"The Great Storm Demon Vortex?"

Chapter 73: The country’s position

"It's getting dark."

Walking quietly out of the still lively open-air courtyard alone, Gafan glanced at the moon in the sky that pushed the sun down.

Helplessness filled my heart.

He ate directly from lunch time to dinner time, although he was completely full in the middle, and then he just went to help Rimuru, who was forced to put on a maid outfit, to carry the dishes.

"Oh, the day just passed like this, just ordinary."

Looking back at the courtyard, Gafan also showed a helpless smile.

But he doesn't hate days like this.

"...Space is forced to move."

In an instant, his figure disappeared from the spot.

"Gafan, would you like some more juice?"

Rimuru, who noticed that Gafan left the yard silently, also followed him out.

"Really, I will never wear this maid outfit again. I'm so embarrassed. Gafan, were you snickering when you were staring at me...eh?"

Rimuru, who came out only to see an empty street, looked around and murmured in confusion.

"Where are the people?"

Rimuru scratched his cheek, but didn't care. He casually changed back into his slime state and jumped around for a few times before going back to the yard to continue eating some barbecue...

"Forget it, let's go look for it. I feel like that guy has something on his mind."

After struggling for a while, Rimuru skipped towards the empty street.

...

at the same time.

Not far from the central square, under a towering tree.

Gafan looked at the old tree in front of him, which was called the "Christmas tree" by the residents, and closed his eyes to feel it.

"...The quantity should still be a bit off."

Stretching out the hand behind his back, Gafan said lightly.

"The rate of hematopoiesis increases, blood is withdrawn, and energy-absorbing cells are concentrated and infiltrated."

The next moment, a blood line automatically flowed out from his palm, gathered into a small blood sphere in mid-air, and then flew towards the old tree in front of him, spreading evenly, as if it was just an illusion, completely Disappeared into the rough bark.

"Oh, I've taken enough this time, but I'm a little dizzy."

Gafan, who looked quite pale, didn't care about his bleeding palms, but just looked at the tree in front of him in a daze.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long time, Gafan's voice sounded a little hoarse again.

"System...do me a favor."

"I know, you've been worrying about this shit for the past two days, and I'm still thinking about when you will talk to me."

The somewhat depressed voice of the system sounded in my mind, as if I already knew that I was a useless host and wanted to ask it for something.

"Also, when you ask me for help in such a serious way...you should call me partner like last time, right? I think this title should be more appropriate to the occasion."

"Ah ha, that's right."

After Gafan was silent for a while, he also burst into laughter.

Then I didn't mind being dirty, so I sat directly on the muddy lawn under the "Christmas tree".

"Hey, partner, it seems I'm being pretentious this time."

"Hmph... Hey, I'll help you this time. Don't even think about it next time!"

"Haha, I got it, I got it."

Looking at the host who was a little confused, the system felt that it was still a little unhappy.

After all, this time is different from last time.

This time, it’s about the original energy of its existence…

It's not like it's used on this bastard host.

next moment.

The energy body that ordinary people cannot see directly or detect exists appears out of thin air in front of Zi Jiafan's slightly widened eyes.

From the initial size of a glass bead, it gradually expanded to a perfect translucent sphere with a diameter of just ten centimeters.

In Gafan's eyes, the sphere that appeared out of thin air was in seven colors, and it was constantly changing and flowing within a certain range.

Then, one of the strands separated from it automatically and wrapped around his bleeding hand. The rest suddenly turned into a delicate gray, without looking dark.

"I gave you everything I could, just this once...bastard host."

The sound of the system becoming weak for the first time sounded, but the tone was still so cursing and unchanged.

But this time, Gafan was scolded willingly.

He didn't say thank you, because he just needed to keep this kind of thing in mind. Gafan looked down at the gray sphere that automatically fell into his hand. After being silent for a while, he murmured in a low voice.

"I still need a gift box. I'll ask Zhu Lai to help me make one tomorrow."

Putting the gray sphere into the storage space, Gafan then turned his attention to the "Christmas tree" in front of him, and without any hesitation, he pressed his blood-stained hand on it.

Then, disrupting reality and leveraging the rules, as the ray of colorful colors dissipated, the whisper of the world's laws was suppressed in an instant and tried to sound again.

"'Fantasy Killer'."

...

ten minutes later.

"Gafan, Gafan."

On the streets that had become deserted as night fell, Rimuru, who was in slime state, was jumping around and shouting someone's name from time to time.

"Ga...ah, I found it."

From a distance, he saw Gafan, who was sitting alone under the "Christmas tree" for some reason, staring at the moon in a daze, and Rimuru, who had been looking for him for a long time. He also jumped over angrily, ready to give him a blank look. Come on.

However, after getting really close, Rimuru's jumping speed slowed down, and then...

"Gafan...what's wrong with you?"

Looking away from the moon, Gafan looked at Rimuru who had turned into a human form and came to him at some point. He was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the other party actually came out to look for him.

Then, he smiled lazily and casually.

"It's okay, I came out to have some fresh air, um... I also 'chatted' with this guy for a while."

Gafan raised his hand and gently patted the tree he was leaning against, as if he was joking.

"Oh, how was the chat?"

Rimuru looked like you are so childish and asked casually following the topic.

"The chat was quite successful, and we even made an agreement." Gafan shrugged, his tone was weak, and he didn't seem to have any intention of getting up from the ground.

After all, he doesn't have that strength now.

Whether it is the energy stored in the cells in the body or the mental power, it is almost treated as a supplement and drained away.

"Eh - that's it." Rimuru put his hands on his hips and deliberately lengthened his voice with a hint of teasing. Finally, he sighed softly.

"Want me to help you get up from the ground?"

"No, I'll just sit here for a while, it's fine."

"...I haven't seen you for a while, why is your tone of voice so weird?"

Rimuru glanced at the other person speechlessly, and Gafan just responded with a plain and kind smile.

"Hey... do you want me to hold you for a while? You don't know why, you seem to be quite tired."

"Thank you very much."

Gafan smiled rudely, thinking that the other party was about to change back to slime state.

However, the next moment.

Without the slightest courtesy, Rimuru, who kept his human form and had already put on the warm clothes from yesterday, sat directly and naturally in Gafan's arms, relaxed and leaned back, and then stretched greatly. waist.

"Ha~yawn, I'm exhausted from all the time helping to carry dishes and stuff."

Rimuru complained casually, then looked up at Gafan who seemed to be frozen, with a smirk on his lips, rolled his eyes, and said angrily.

"Hey, do you have any comments?"

"......No."

Because the incident happened a bit too suddenly and bizarrely, Gafan felt that his mind was a little empty at this time.

However, after being in a daze for a while, he quickly regained his composure and took out the blanket he had put in last night from the storage space, covering himself and Rimuru in his arms at the same time.

"It feels like this is okay."

Holding Rimuru in his arms, Gafan leaned against the Christmas tree behind him and murmured to himself.

"Wow, your reaction is too bland, right?" Rimuru first glanced at the blanket on his body, and then muttered as if he was a little bored.

But he had no intention of breaking free at all.

"No, I'm quite happy right now... Just let me hug you for a while, that's all I'm interested in."

Gafan's tone began to become a little lazy and he also hugged the person in his arms a little tighter. He was indeed quite tired now.

Then, for a moment, neither of them spoke.

The cool evening breeze blew through, but it did not make the people under the tree feel cold. The dense crown of the tree swayed slightly, and the vibrant branches and leaves trembled gently during this period.

After a while, Rimuru's pleasant voice sounded again.

"Tell me, what are you worried about?"

"It's nothing, it's just... Rimuru, after I leave here, will you feel a little lonely about this?"

"Well, Momonga asked me this question too."

Rimuru muttered wordlessly, then tightened the blanket around him, lying completely relaxed in the other person's arms, and replied softly.
