Rebirth of a Dungeon Master

Safi giggles a bit as Rimuru had just belittled all the demon lords for acting like children. Which according to momma Nekra they often did. 

 

Suddenly, the fairies start to get noisy again.

 

"I need to ask Mom to add a mute function so I can mute certain people's voices," Safi suddenly says.

 

"So, who are you?" Ramiris asks, looking pointedly at Rimuru.

 

"Me? I'm just a slime," Rimuru says.

 

"Ah, the slime who's the leader of the great Jura forest! Nekra's territory?" Ramiris asks.

 

"Nekra's territory is technically her dungeon under the forest. But she claimed the forest to deter other demon lords from messing with me," Rimuru says.

 

At this point, all of the kids are eating the snacks Rimuru has brought out.

 

“So, she doesn’t actually control the territory. 

 

"So about the golem," Rimuru says.

 

"It's not a golem... it looked like it followed a set of predetermined movements. It could've either been an animatronic or an automaton," Safi says, taking a cookie and holding it to the "plushie" in her arms.

 

"We just finished that too; do you have any clue how efficient it was? Earth spirits manipulated the weight, water moved the joints, and fire powered it," Ramiris says.

 

"That sounds horribly inefficient. It also was a puppet and not even a complicated machine if it required input from some other being to constantly move it," Safi says, disappointed.

 

Ramiris recoils from the insult.

 

"Right anyway I have a request," Rimuru says.

 

"Why would I listen to you?" Ramiris asks.

 

"I could let you move in next to Nekra. You're Senpai when it comes to golems. I mean, look at Safi there," Rimuru says.

 

Ramiris's eyes seem to glow as she nods enthusiastically.

 

As everyone moved to a different place.

 

To the deepest room in the labyrinth–the oracle room.

 

Prior to arriving through to this room, everyone first passed a large empty room before it.

 

A path that is one meter wide and twenty meters long leads from this room to a five-meter-in-diameter circular scaffold.

 

What the scaffold is made of, I do not know; it looks as if it's spreading through the room.

 

"To think you were a saint's guide, how did you become a demon lord?" Safi deadpans.

 

"Anyway, time to summon spirits," Ramiris says.

 

"What should we say?" Gabe asks.

 

"Whatever you like, really. Help me! Or, Let's play! An interested spirit will definitely appear before you," Ramiris responds sounding unsure of herself. 

 

"… will they really come?" Alice asks.

 

"They will! Sensei, they will, right?" Ryota asks.

 

"Will they?" Kenya asks.

 

The children look at Rimuru, worried.

 

"It's fine if they don't appear; I can always drain the magical energy and Rimuru can make a new one out of it.

 

"…Hey, you! You're making a scary face!" Ramiris says to Safi.

 

"Hmm? Right, No problem, no problem.

 

"Hey, brats! Don't worry. It'll work out!" Rimuru says, realizing he can change the spirits himself with the help of great sage.

 

"Alright! One person at a time will go. Who's first?" Rimuru asks.

 

Then, an order was decided on.

 

First will be the eldest, Gale.

 

Then Alice.

 

Followed by Kenya and Ryouta.

 

And concluded with Chloe.

 

The children did quarrel about it, but in the end, everyone was satisfied with this order.

===============================

Everyone had arrived at a tranquil room with a sole light leaking in from the ceiling lighting up the entire place.  Without a sound to be heard, only footsteps echoed throughout it.

 

"Sensei, if anything happens to me, please take care of them," Gabe says.

 

"Oi, idiot, don't drop flags!" Safi yells.

 

That seems to scare Gabe even more.

 

"Don't worry, there's a platform here. If anything happens, I'll save you," Rimuru says.

 

Timidly and carefully,

 

He proceeds into the center.

 

"Okay, there's fine! I'm looking forward to the phrase you choose!" Ramiris shouts loudly, like she could care about his nervousness.

 

Gabe started kneeling, as if praying to the gods.

 

"I wonder who will answer him," Safi mutters, knowing plenty of gods may see this.

 

After some time has passed, balls of light began to fall from the sky.

 

It was like watching a feather fall.

 

And, before us on the altar, a single spirit appeared.

 

Gale noticed it and began to pray harder.

 

"Good job! It's a success," Ramiris shouts.

 

"Hello, I was sent by the goddess of dreams to be your partner," the spirit says, stunning everyone.

 

"Gale, continue praying! Pray to Yume the Dreamer!" Safi shouts, referencing some files on her system.

 

"Wh-what was that! You… are you doing?!" Ramiris shouts in panic, hearing the name.

 

Rimuru's point of view.

 

"Gale, continue praying! Pray to Yume the Dreamer!" Safi shouts.

 

'Great Sage?' Rimuru asks.

 

(Great Sage: I have nothing...)

 

"Wh-what was that! You... what are you doing?!" Ramiris shouts in panic.

 

'Now I really wanna know... maybe Nekra knows,' Rimuru thinks.

 

Suddenly the spirit merges with Gabe.

 

I mean, I haven't ever seen what it looks like and have no idea if it even has a form.

 

"Yup, all done! Good job!" Rimuru says, Gabe.

 

Doesn't look like he was in pain or anything; he just quickly looked up at everyone and nodded.

 

"You're okay now. The collapse has stopped, I guarantee it!" Rimuru says.

 

With a face full of tears,

 

"Sensei, thank you very much!!!" Gabe shouted as he bowed.

 

Next was Alice.

 

She said that she was scared walking down the path, so Rimuru carried her instead.

 

Chloe and Alice seemed to be bickering about something before.

 

"Stupid harem protagonist," Safi mutters.

 

After waiting for a while, light began to fall from the sky just as before.

 

The moment the spirit appeared on the Altar, Rimuru ate it.

 

Ramiris looked panicked as if she had something important to say, but Rimuru completely ignored her.

 

After a few seconds of silence, Safi notices the transfer of magical energy.

 

"Alice, well done! You're fine now!" Rimuru says.

 

Alice smiled widely and kissed Rimuru on the cheek.

 

Once Alice comes back down to the group.

 

"You know auntie Rimuru is a married woman, right?" Safi asks.

 

"Eeehhh!!!" Several of the students shout before looking over at their teacher who blushes a sight blue.

 

Kenya went up next.

 

The moment Kenya started praying – I mean, he hasn't even closed his eyes yet – light began falling from the sky.

 

That's a mass of energy far larger than the ones that appeared for the other two.

 

And there stood a human-shaped spirit–a boy.

 

"Yo! How's life? I'm good. I felt like coming over, so I did!" The spirit said

 

And extended a casual greeting.

 

"Ah, ahhhhh!!! You, why did you just come to someone's house uninvited!" Ramiris shouts, seemingly upset.

 

Seems like they know each other.

 

"Yo, who's that?" Rimuru asks.

 

"O~su! I am the spirit of light!

 

Unlike that depressing and fallen descendant of darkness spirit, I am a pure spirit!" He says, taunting Ramiris before he suddenly feels a bunch of pressure.

 

"What is she!" The spirit shouts, scared, pointing at Safi.

 

"I'm technically an ancient dragon," Safi says.

 

===============================

 

"So, I decided to help Kenya!" Is what the spirit shouted before he inhabited the boy.

 

Generally, light and darkness spirits have the highest social standing and are the highest grade of spirits.

 

Seems like he's also capable of bestowing divine protection onto heroes. In the first place, Ramiris and him are supposed to do that together, but that rarely happens.

 

"So you aren't the only saint's guide, you fraud," Safi says.

 

"Sensei…" Kenya says, dumbfounded.

 

"Hmm? It's okay. All according to plan!" Rimuru says.

 

"Whose plan!" Safi retorts.

 

"Things are going smoothly," Rimuru says.

 

"True, nothing has blown up yet," Safi says with a shrug, not really caring.

 

Next would be Ryouta.

 

He walked down the narrow path by himself. Seemed spirited enough.

 

Now, what will happen?

 

Immediately, an emerald light fell from the sky, drawing thousands of helices.

 

Before anything strange could happen, Rimuru ate it... again.

 

Bestowed a skill again.

 

And so, only one person left.

 

The last person, Chloe, was very afraid to walk there, so Safi carried her over.

Seems like she lied about her fear.

 

"Umm, sensei... I… I love you!!!" Chloe shouts.

 

Rimuru became a little flustered upon hearing her words.

 

"It's weird how Rimuru blushes a light blue," Safi says before realizing it probably has to do with her being a slime.

 

Now, what kind of spirit will Chloe summon?

 

Like everyone else, she bowed to pray.

 

That's when things started to change.

 

Should I call it that…? For example, something did fall from the sky.

 

An oppressive aura, and a beautiful girl with silver-black hair.

 

"Time...." Safi mutters before the spirit looked at the Safi in shock.

 

That girl (?)… celestial maiden suddenly saw Rimuru and grabbed onto him. And locked her lips around Rimuru's.

 

The celestial maiden, with a look full of disappointment then moved to touch Chloe.

 

"Stop!!! I won't let you! I won't let you do as you please!" Ramiris shouts, very well ready for battle.

 

A black light covered her hands which she shot out at Chloe. Rimuru jumped in front of Chloe to protect her and absorbed the attack into her body

 

"H-hey! What was that for!" Safi shouts, recognizing annihilation magic.

 

"Shut up!!! She's dangerous! Don't you see?!" Ramiris shouts.

 

"I don't?! What's dangerous?" Rimuru shouts after tanking a one-shot kill magic.

 

While they were busy arguing, the celestial maiden overlapped with Chloe and disappeared.

 

Rimuru quickly chose to verify Chloe's status. The collapse had stopped.

 

“No problem, right…?” Rimuru muttered to himself. 

 

"Ooooo! Mou! Too late. I give up… I don't even care anymore!" Ramiris shouted puffing her cheeks.

"Yosh! I think we are done here." Rimuru says in cheer.
