After a quick wash, Shirou Emiya took Little Rimuru to the Town Hall for the meeting.
During the meeting, Shirou Emiya barely spoke.
He simply sat there, quietly observing Fritz, Youm, and the others.
And that was precisely his role.
He was there to display strength and status. To let the other party understand that this side was friendly with humans. That they were not evil monsters who threatened the world. With him present, the Monster Federation could smoothly move toward an alliance, reinforcing its foundation even further.
Because of that, Shirou Emiya didn't need to do anything else.
All he needed to do was sit there.
"In that case, I hope to stay here for a while and observe your way of life."
"Of course!" Rimuru answered naturally, without hesitation.
After arranging Fritz's affairs, Rimuru turned his attention to Youm. Recruiting mercenaries like him had always been part of the plan.
What followed unfolded exactly as in the original story.
Rimuru attributed the credit for defeating the Orc Lord to Youm, elevating him into a hero. At the same time, word spread that this land was home to harmless monsters.
The reason was simple.
Shirou Emiya did not want his Hero identity exposed.
Otherwise, none of this effort would have been necessary.
Earlier, through their thought communication, Rimuru had asked whether Shirou Emiya would allow his Hero identity to be revealed. Shirou Emiya had refused without hesitation.
That refusal led directly to Youm's involvement.
The reason Shirou Emiya refused was a warning from his "Super Intuition."
When he considered revealing his Hero identity, a vague sense of discomfort surfaced. A faint but undeniable feeling, as though doing so would trigger something dangerous.
After thinking it through, Shirou Emiya believed it was connected to a future attack on the Monster Federation.
From the bullet comments he had once seen beneath a video, he already knew what was supposed to happen.
Before Rimuru returned from the human world, the Monster Federation would be attacked by a human nation.
Many would die in that battle.
Shion included.
That loss would push Rimuru to resolve himself to become a Demon Lord. Later, before twenty thousand soldiers from the human kingdom, Rimuru would massacre every last one of them.
Only then would he awaken as a true Demon Lord.
Because of that, Shirou Emiya believed that if his identity were exposed, this event would be the first thing to change.
And if that event never happened-
With Rimuru's personality, he might never become a true Demon Lord.
Not for a very long time.
The consequences of that were something Shirou Emiya didn't even want to imagine.
At worst, it could even lead to Rimuru's death.
That was why Shirou Emiya refused.
After some more conversation, the meeting came to an end.
Everything went exactly as Rimuru and Shirou Emiya had discussed in secret.
No accidents.
No deviations.
Once the meeting concluded, Shirou Emiya left and headed straight for the kitchen.
He planned to personally prepare the Legged Armored Spider.
To bring out its full flavor.
...
"This is truly delicious! I never imagined Mr. Emiya was such a master chef. It's remarkable!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Don't be so modest, Shirou." Rimuru laughed and nudged him with an elbow. "Your cooking can definitely be called divine!"
"Of course. I made it, after all."
"Oh? You're really not being modest at all now, are you?"
Listening to the exchange between Shirou Emiya and Rimuru, Shion and Shuna couldn't help but smile.
"By the way, Fritz," Rimuru said casually, "Ellen and the other two will be entrusted to me in a few days."
"Huh? Ah!"
Fritz froze for a moment before recalling their earlier discussion.
"Of course. Please, feel free!"
"These three are juniors I think highly of," Rimuru continued. "But they're always careless. Causing trouble everywhere they go."
"If you can train them properly, I'd be very grateful."
"Then I'll borrow them."
"Please! Please!"
And just like that, amid lighthearted conversation, the tragic future of Ellen and the other two was decided.
Meanwhile, the three of them were completely unaware.
They gnawed on their food.
Laughing.
Enjoying the comfort of the moment.
...
After a few days of rest, Shirou Emiya once again set foot on the path of conquering the forest.
This time, however, he wasn't alone.
Little Rimuru came with him.
Milim came with him.
Ellen came with him as well.
Little Rimuru went willingly.
Ellen's group did not.
As for Milim, she had been persuaded by Shirou Emiya.
After all, he genuinely needed her.
As his best training dummy.
"No! We'll die!"
"Spare us, Shirou-senpai!"
"That's an A-rank monster!"
Ignoring the desperate cries of Ellen and the other two, who were tied behind him on Ranga's back, Shirou Emiya rode straight into the forest.
Amid cheers.
Within the Monster Federation, only Rimuru and Shirou Emiya were normally allowed to ride Ranga.
Now that Rimuru was occupied with managing affairs in the city, the one riding Ranga was naturally Shirou Emiya.
The one fighting outside.
"Shirou, I'm counting on you in the forest!"
"If we want to expand, we must ensure the safety of the roads!"
"So, for monsters that can't be reasoned with-eliminate them!"
"Leave it to me."
Shirou Emiya nodded slightly at Rimuru's instructions.
Then he raised his voice.
"Depart!"
In the next instant, Shirou Emiya led everyone back into the forest.
The subjugation began once more.
...
During this campaign against disobedient monsters, Shirou Emiya rarely acted personally.
For him, these monsters existed to train his subordinates.
Aside from sparring with Milim every day, his time was mostly spent preparing food.
Delicious food.
Enough to keep Milim motivated.
Enough to prevent her from getting bored and returning to the Monster Federation early.
Unexpectedly, perhaps because she had been bored for so long in the past, Milim seemed to be having a great time.
Even simple monster subjugation amused her.
Together with Shirou Emiya, she trained Ellen and the other two daily.
"I can't do it anymore! I really can't!"
Ellen collapsed flat on the ground.
Cabal and Gido followed soon after, wailing in unison.
Their bodies were completely drained.
The surrounding people had long since grown accustomed to the sight.
Every day was like this.
Looking at their exhausted faces, Shirou Emiya's lips curved upward slightly.
He was just about to speak-
When a piece of information flashed through his mind.
In the next moment, Shirou Emiya spoke quickly.
"Pack up."
"We're returning."
A pause.
"A crisis is about to descend."
