Is it wrong for slimes to be in dungeons? (revised)

Chapter 20: Back Tracking

Returning to the present, while Kali was busy badmouthing the mysterious girl, the amazonian warriors were busy making sure the ship wasn't going to fall apart.

Normally one would think to return to the island and wait out the storm but their goddess, Kali, had refused, saying things such as "we shall not lose to this storm" or something or other.

No matter how ridiculous it may have seemed, the Amazons without a word of objection or complaint simply followed their goddess will.

No room for second thoughts or objection. And after 3 days of holding on, the cruel unrelenting storm finally calmed...

The winds weakened, the once monstrous waves turned to shallow things that couldn't reach the main deck, and beams of light began to shine through the endless black herd of clouds. The cacophony of waves hitting the deck, yelling of orders, storming thunder, and more finally quieted creating an almost peaceful aura.

"Heh, now then let's not waste any time, WE MUST FIND AND KILL THAT DAMN-" Kali had begun but before she could finish the captains of the familia were forced to remind her why they had wanted to go out to sea in the first place.

After regaining her composure she adjusted her plan of action. "Alright full speed to our original destination, if we find that bitch on the way though we're killing her. Got it!?" she yelled.

The Amazons all unanimously agreed.

And with that, they began their voyage.

To Orario

(Rimuru POV)

I stared listlessly at the bed in front of me at the moment. Sophia's body sprawled across it, dirt and grime all over her. We had left the dungeon and were now back at her house with Amaterasu.

I had talked to Finn and it ended up just being a basic recap of what Aiz had already told him. Aiz and I had already basically reached an agreement. And Finn didn't seem too upset about it so he simply allowed me to go on with the agreement that I'd tell them about my abilities to help with a contingency plan if I ever went rogue. I mean I understood where they were coming from with that request but really I doubted there was much they could do. And even if there were to expect me to just hand over my weakness on a silver platter is a little...

I ended up agreeing because it knew that we'd come to an impasse otherwise, but I'm going to need to come up with a contingency plan of my own if I wanted to make sure they didn't just try to eliminate me.

Just as they didn't trust me I similarly had reservations about trusting them. I had yet to give them the information needed so I could theoretically lie, but in all likelihood, Loki, their goddess, would be there to concur with everything I said, making that option a little hard.

"..." I stared at Sophia blankly as I began to recall what had happened on the 38th floor.

The white walls stretched out on either side of us. Aiz and I sat silently waiting for Sophia to wake up.

The barrier I had set up was now surrounded by monsters, not that I cared, killing them would be a breeze.

So we simply waited... in awkward silence.

Aiz was, perhaps unsurprisingly, bad with words. Ending conversations before they could really even get started and killing the vibe.

It may have to do with her just being nervous around me but I wouldn't be surprised if she was this clumsy with her words around everyone.

We had both given up on any actual conversation by this point and were simply sitting here.

I was busy watching Sophia while from the looks of it, AIz was having trouble even staying awake.
