"..."

Because the weather seemed a bit cold, Gafan lay back silently and covered himself with the quilt. He then rested his pillow on "Slime" and muttered to himself expressionlessly.

"It seems like everything that happened today was not a dream. Well...it's good."

"It's very good of you, uncle."

As a result, the system's voice suddenly became extremely unhappy, and the childish voice even sounded a little angry, saying: "Host, why did you feed my 'collection' to the slime? I just picked it up." Yes, you, you, you can’t be like this!”

"Ah, this."

Gafan thought about it calmly, then imitated Rimuru's previous expression with a wicked smile, and replied: "System, which one of us is following the other? What's yours is mine, isn't it?"

"Then it's yours or yours?" The system's cold voice revealed that you, the host, are really a bastard.

But what it didn't expect was that Gafan said indifferently: "What's mine can also be yours. What a big deal, we've already decided which one of us will follow who."

"Ah? This, that's it, hey, that seems to be no problem."

Wow, this guy is so easy to handle.

Ga Fan thought of this with a slight smile.

"Uh, no, I always feel like I'm still at the loss... Well, forget it, I'm not angry anymore."

The troubles in the system disappeared as quickly as they came, and his voice became silly and cheerful again. Then he curiously asked Gafan, who was staring at the ceiling in a daze and seemed to have no intention of continuing to sleep.

"By the way, host, why did you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping and keep looking at the ceiling in a daze?"

"Because I'm worried right now."

"Net Yiyun?"

"...System, please be more serious. I'm really worried now, otherwise I would have gone to sleep a long time ago. After all, I don't like to stay up late now."

Gafan replied speechlessly. After being silent for a while, his voice became weak again and he said something he could only say to the system.

"I'm worried about Rimuru."

"What, you finally realize how weird your XP is?" The system's voice still sounds so heartless that it makes you want to hit it.

But this time Gafan didn't fight back, but his voice had a rare hint of confusion.

"No, I'm worried about what Rimuru may encounter in the future. There are also things about this monster town, and things about Shion who cooked for us at noon, and even some things that have never happened before. Things about people in front of you.”

"...Host, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, the system was no longer out of tune, but asked equally seriously, with a little worry and concern.

"Now, System, do you know? We humans feel happy and joyful when we have important things, but at the same time, we also feel equally or even more sad and desperate when we lose important things."

Gafan wrapped the quilt a little tighter around himself and murmured in a low voice.

"Rimuru is very happy now, right? He loves this town, right? After all, this is everything to him now, as well as all the bonds. At today's banquet, he smiled so happily and happily. , so...he cannot accept losing any of his current bonds."

"That guy is easily afraid of loneliness, because when he first turned into a slime and came to this world, he experienced a period of darkness and loneliness that was long enough to make people collapse. At that time, he was surrounded by only the people in his mind. The unique skill ‘Great Sage’ can talk to him and help him maintain his sanity.”

In the empty and dark room, Gafan seemed to be talking to himself, sighing helplessly.

"So, in the future, when this town is caught in the flames of war, and Shion and other hundreds of people die, what will his expression be like..."

"Wait a minute, host, even though these things will happen in the future, doesn't the slime in the original book still resurrect all the dead?"

The system voice said in a somewhat urgent voice, as if it was clumsily comforting its host.

"Didn't he recapture all the important things in the end?"

"System, you also said it was the original work."

Gafan let out a long sigh and turned his gaze to the darkened window.

The originally lively streets became quiet. Everyone should be asleep by now, right?

"System...this world is no longer the 'original' because there are a few additional elements brought by me."

Gafan stretched out his hand and pointed at his chest, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"You know, with the help of the strongest hero, all the world lines in the original work only left Rimuru with a happy ending (perfect ending), so I can't be sure what impact I will have on it. What changes will the future bring?”

"We have also experienced the bad effects brought about by things like the butterfly effect in the last world. In order to fill the 'time gap' caused by me, I almost risked my life, because it is mine. responsibility."

Gafan talked nonchalantly. In fact, he was not a person who liked to chatter, but at this time, he seemed to have endless things to say, and he only talked to the system.

"Then host, is this the reason why you are so troubled by that slime now?"

"No, this time it's for another reason..."

After a moment of silence, Gafan smiled flatly and said, "Because he is my friend, so I want to help him... It's that simple."

And when he fell asleep, he seemed to have made a promise, so he must keep his word.

"Friends? Do you mean people with whom you have a good relationship?"

"Yes, you can say that, the relationship should be considered so good that..."

Gafan silently looked away, scratched his cheek, and said expressionlessly: "I can't bear to let Rimuru feel even a little bit sad in the future... It's best if he looks like that and smiles happily. nice."

"Wow, host, it's not weird for you to say that your XP is high."

"It's just not weird. Okay, let's put an end to the complaining. Let me briefly outline the problems I plan to help solve... Well, there are roughly three."

After Gafan stretched a little, he began to summarize his thoughts just now.

"The first question is whether Rimuru could save his life when he first met Hinata Sakaguchi. That guy is the strongest human being in the Western countries and one of the top ten saints. His strength should be about the same as Momonga. The current Rimuru Lu can't beat him."

"The second question is, when Rimuru went to help solve the hidden dangers of the students and children left behind by Miss Jing, the army of the Kingdom of Farmus and the group of knights from the Western Holy Church, as well as several outsider summoners, , attacking monster towns and causing tragic casualties.”

"The third question...that is, Rimuru must awaken and become the Demon King, otherwise he will still be subject to countless threats in the future."

Rubbing his temples, Gafan looked like he had a headache.

"I can't leave this monster town and go somewhere else, because not only is it a matter of time, but also because I don't want to bring more uncertain variables."

Alas, Hinata Sakaguchi was Miss Shizu's former student. After being misled and deceived by Kanzako Yuuki, she first met Rimuru, who was a monster and had an appearance similar to Miss Shizu. She would never listen to any of his explanations.

In the original work, Rimuru also escaped through the liberation of gluttons and clones, and faked his death. Now it is uncertain whether he can cheat in the future.

As for the attack on the monster town, Myoran inside also released the "Great Magic: Magic Cannot Realm" to severely weaken Benimaru and the others. As a result, Shion died this time while trying to protect others. incident...and hundreds of others dead.

The difficulty of this problem does not lie with Miao Lan, because even if it were not her, Kleinman behind the scenes would send someone else to secretly release him.

The former threatens Rimuru's life, while the latter will cause Rimuru's inner collapse and loss of control.

But Gafan feels that he can't remind him too much, because knowing the future is sometimes not a good thing, and he can't try to stay and help with everything, because that is not help between friends...

But "arrogant".

Whether it is a country or a person, if they want to become strong, they must first go through hardships and sufferings.

What Gafan found most difficult was the third question.

For Rimuru to awaken and become the Demon King, the necessary prerequisite is...

Tens of thousands of human soul energy sacrifices.

This is an unavoidable hurdle.

It also absolutely violated Gafan's principles and bottom line as a human being. He didn't even know how to help solve this problem for a while.

In wars between countries, death is inevitable, and it is understandable and cannot be blamed, but it is definitely not the only solution.

But for Rimuru at that time, killing everyone in the enemy army was his only option at that time.

He is obviously such a kind person.

"...Oh, I'm so annoyed."

Gafan scratched his hair and messed it up, then suddenly sat up from the bed and opened the window.

The cold wind blows in late at night, making people feel chilly.

And when the system saw that he was not wearing any shoes, he just floated out of the window and came to the deserted street. Gafan also asked in surprise.

"Host, where are you going?"

Regarding this question, Gafan glanced at the position of a certain red dot on the virtual panel, started to flutter, and replied weakly.

"I'm going to find Momonga...to ask him for a favor."

This made the system even more surprised, because the last time the host asked for help, it was to his eldest sister, and he has never asked anyone for help since then.

Now, it's the second time.

"Host, it seems like this is the first time that you have taken the initiative to help others. The other party doesn't even know that you are so worried about him, and you are even willing to bow to others. Is it worth it?"

The system asked in deep confusion.

Regarding this question, Gafan looked at the bright full moon among the stars in the sky with an expressionless face.

"......My pleasure."

Chapter 68: Try everything 4K

"Bang!!!"

Early in the morning, the stall owners who had just started setting up stalls on the street, and the pig people who had already started building houses and moving objects, looked at each other in surprise.

An extremely gorgeous firework was appearing in the sky outside the town.

It's quite beautiful, just like the fireworks display last night.

"Are they the remaining fireworks from last night?"

Gobuta, who was walking on the street and preparing for a new day of fishing, looked up at the sky and said with some heartless doubts.

And a certain figure that was originally in the shadow of the alley disappeared directly from the place.

at the same time.

Outside the monster town, the place where a "big fire" almost broke out yesterday.

Gafan, who was holding a shovel in his hand, was bearing the accusations from the tree elf lady in front of him with a helpless look on his face.

"Mr. Gafan, are you dissatisfied with the punishment method I decided?"

The tree elf known as the "Manager of the Great Forest", Miss Torene, was looking at the dark-rimmed man with a guilty look in front of her with a smile.

"I just asked you to plant a few trees with your own hands as an apology for yesterday. Are you... not so unwilling that you want to 'set fire' again?"

"No, no, no, Miss Torene, you misunderstood."

Gafan, who was dragged up early in the morning, shook his head vigorously, and then weakly replied: "I was just trying out new uses of my abilities, but it still doesn't seem to work now."

"Oh? You're so 'no' that you almost exploded?" Miss Torene's expression was still so cold.

"Ahem, I don't want to either. Let's skip this topic."

Recalling a certain hedgehog who disliked each other for his cheating physique, Gafan said helplessly and pointed to the bucket placed aside.

“Keep planting trees, keep planting trees.”

"Okay, then I won't delve too deeply into it."

Torene hugged her arms, and the branches and leaves on her body that resembled rattan were swaying gently in the wind, and they were also emitting a natural light green light.

She glanced at the rows of saplings that had been planted and the pits that had been carefully filled.

The other party was not perfunctory.

And even though she deliberately and maliciously pulled her out of bed early in the morning, she just followed her here with a look of despair. Torene originally thought that the other party would be a little angry.

After all, people with heavy dark circles should generally feel a little angry when they wake up.

In fact, Gafan is indeed a little angry, but he can't express it to several types of people: people who treat him well, people who make him feel wronged, children, elder sisters, and Rimuru.

If a muscular man broke the door open while he was sleeping in, then...one person would have to lie down to get out.

"But, Mr. Gafan, why do you occasionally sprinkle some of your own blood on the saplings?"

Toreni first looked at the traces of mud on Gafan's blue and white robe, and then noticed the scars on his hand.

"Well, let's just do some experiments and verify some of my conjectures. Don't worry about it."

Gafan shook his head casually, and then said to himself that the wound would be healed.

At this time, under the shade of a tree on the side, a man with short dark blue hair and a pair of swords on his back, dressed as a ninja and with a pure white horn on his head, suddenly appeared.
