That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Again?

Special Chapter I

The target was oblivious of what he was getting into. He was only doing his job, patrolling Tempest like a dedicated man. While also getting flowers from girls he would come across, only, he didn't know what to do with said flowers.

That person was, indeed—

"Yo Benimaru! Come with us."

Milim was moving so fast, she was a blur. The only person who kept up with Milim was Rimuru, while Shuna was slowly but surely getting nauseous. Benimaru was no different, Milim grabbed him by his collar, dragging him by his ass. Milim was carrying Rimuru in his slime form, while Shuna was on her back.

<<Disclaimer: The constant screams of Benimaru for the following days will not be held responsible by me, nor Master.>> 

Following Benimaru, Shizue was dragged by Milim next.

"Wait, Milim, this many people should be satisfactory, no?"

Milim, who was about to sprint to look for her next target, stopped when Rimuru said those words. Though thinking deeply wasn't her strong suit, she processed Rimuru's words carefully, as to not make Rimuru trick her. In the end, it was futile since she brushed it off almost when she had reached a conclusion. And, decided to go with what Rimuru said instead.

***

There naturally was a big commotion, and eventually, everyone on Tempest heard of what Milim had been planning. Shion tried to participate as well, but as there was a cooking contest, Shuna, Milim, Rimuru in unison denied her immediately. Though, Shuna reasoned to her right after as to not make Shion feel bad.

Rigurd had heard of this and decided to turn it into a large-scale festival as always. Though as he was ignorant of the ways of a "Concert," Rimuru decided to man up and tell him what he told Milim.

Though he knew it'd be a mistake since Rigurd liked to exaggerate every little detail. But, seeing as this would be a fun experience, not just for him, but for all of them, he decided to pay it no heed.

By the way, as for what the primordial butler and trio reacted with.

"What? Rimuru-sama as an Idol? Though I don't know what that may mean, to me, it sounds like a sight I'd never want to miss. As his butler, I must remain at his side at all costs—"

"You can just watch me on the sidelines."

Immediately, Rimuru shot down Diablo.

"Hahaha, look at your pathetic state being rejected by Lord Rimuru. I'm part of the mini-games crew, so screw you Diablo!"

Laughing at Diablo's petrified state, Carrera immediately degrades Diablo. The other two saw the opportunity and immediately went on board.

"My oh my~, even I have a part in this as well. Lord Rimuru put me on as event organizer along with Rigurd-dono."

"Agreed. I was put in charge of picking out cutesy clothes for them to wear. Along with Shuna-san of course!"

With nothing to do, Diablo was even more humiliated. Yet, his indomitable spirit never ceased to fail him. He swiftly corrects himself and adds;

"You idiots, you three get to be a part of the background crew? I do envy that, however, I get to enjoy watching Rimuru-sama's full glory upfront and without wasting a single moment. Essentially, your efforts are going to work for my own benefit."

With a landslide comeback, paired with a devilish smile, Diablo easily overcame and overwhelmed the three.

"Oh come on..." Rimuru was utterly baffled at how competitive even a single conversation was for them.

<<Commencing Idol Operation: The Five Idols of Tempest.>>

Did you really have to name it?

<<Of course! I see this as something important, even this never happened on the previous timeline.>>

Hahaha, well, you got that right. Last time, there were only uncrowned Idols in Tempest being me, Shuna, and Shion. Let's hope things don't go too badly.

Eh, so, the theme I picked for the chapter really wasn't suggested by any of you. Well, that's because I couldn't pick one! I didn't know whether people liked this suggestion, or that, since there were very few people actually agreeing on what people were suggesting.

But, the next part will contain all the juicy content. The only reason why I couldn't make it into one chapter is that I can't. It's taking a toll on my body when I push past 1400 words. Though I'm in a much better condition than before, so don't worry about me.

So please forgive me for making you guys wait just for part 2!

Part 2: 3-4 days.
