Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: Konosuba's Popular King

"…"

Question marks appeared above Rimuru's head, silently asking, Are you sure about that?

"Anyway, I'll take you to register as Adventurers first."

"We can do that?!"

"Originally, no."

Rin said, "But now, I can leverage more of this world's authority. Creating an identity for you is easy."

Of course, Ogerpon was out of the question.

She was too famous in Axel. Everyone knew that Rin had a cute familiar named Ogerpon at his side.

However, Rimuru and Velzard were no problem.

So, Rin led the three girls into Axel.

Along the way, many Adventurers recognized Rin and greeted him.

"Yo! Rin!"

"Back from an adventure?"

"Are those two pretty girls your new teammates?"

"…"

Rin didn't act aloof.

His persona in the Konosuba World was that of a generous, sunny, cheerful big brother!

"This, this kind of popularity…"

Rimuru didn't expect Rin to be so well-liked in another world. "I'm so jealous!!!"

Is this what capitalists are like?

No matter where they go, they're always superior!

"We're here."

Soon, Rin led the two into the Adventurers Guild.

During this time, Rin also had an acquaintance notify Darkness to meet him at the Guild.

"Rin-san, you're back."

"Yeah, Luna-san, long time no see."

Don't let it seem like Rin had been off gallivanting through the Nasuverse or other dark worlds.

In reality, he hadn't been away from the Konosuba World for that long.

Coincidentally, Darkness had just returned to Axel from her hometown.

Rin figured she had probably arrived back today.

"Let me introduce you. These two are Rimuru and Vel…"

"Velzard!"

Before Rin could finish, Velzard introduced herself, "My name is Velzard, and I'm Rin's older sister!"

"…"

Rin and Rimuru looked at her in unison.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no…"

Rin told Luna, "This is my eldest sister."

"I brought them to register as Adventurers."

"Understood."

Luna maintained her professional demeanor. "Please, both of you, follow me."

Soon after, with Luna's assistance, Rimuru and Velzard successfully obtained Adventurer Cards and completed their class changes.

Their initial stats were unbelievably high, just like Aqua's back in the day. They could directly pick the highest-tier classes.

As for Rimuru, she chose the Assassin class.

Apparently, she thought the gameplay of dashing around the battlefield and taking down enemies with skillful movement was really cool.

As for Velzard—

The Frost Dragon God, of course, chose Berserker!

Hand-to-hand combat was the romance she pursued.

She had no interest in those childish games of hiding in the back and casting magic.

Of course, Velzard still showed restraint.

Controlling her power to match the expected performance of an Adventurer was easy for her current self.

Rin and Rimuru, with their external support systems, also had no issue.

Only Ogerpon…

That child was truly hopeless.

A casual normal attack from her could sink the continent.

'It's fine.'

'Ogerpon just needs to be cute.'

Oh, for clarification.

Although Ogerpon could transform into a human girl, in the Konosuba World, she still kept her Pokémon form.

Not only would suddenly turning human mess with the worldview of the Konosuba folk…

Ogerpon's Pokémon form was already extremely cute and was beloved by the girls at the Adventurers Guild.

Sure enough, Rin had only looked away for a moment, and a pretty onee-san was already feeding Ogerpon snacks.

"Ogerpon seems really popular."

Rimuru felt a little jealous. The girl declared that if she turned into a Slime, she'd definitely be loved by everyone too.

"I think you'd get beaten to death!"

"Woo~"

Rimuru understood what Rin meant. "Dammit, are Slimes destined to be nothing but wild monsters in the Otherworld?!"

A Slime's life is still a life!

Please stop persecuting Slimes!

"I heard that in some worlds, people even treat Slimes as food."

"Nani?!"

Rimuru trembled. "No way, Slimes… aren't… tasty, right?"

"Who knows…"

Rin gave Rimuru a meaningful look.

He really wanted to say: If there's a chance, I'll take you to the Dungeon Meshi world.

"Rin!"

"You're back!"

At that moment, a golden figure in armor rushed in. It was Rin's teammate in this world—Darkness!

"Yo, Darkness!"

Rin smiled, "How was your visit home? Did you have fun?"

"I talked a lot with Father."

"Poniii!"

"Mm, Ogerpon, it's been a while."

Darkness greeted Ogerpon, who was munching on snacks nearby.

She then noticed Rimuru and Velzard. "Who are these two?"

"My new teammates."

"This is Velzard"

"And Rimuru is like my childhood friend."

"Hello."

"I'm Rimuru."

Rimuru was outgoing and quickly became friendly with Darkness.

Velzard, however, was rather cold. The girl didn't seem interested in talking to Darkness at all.

That was normal.

With Darkness's strength, she couldn't possibly catch Velzard's eye.

In fact, Velzard wasn't interested in anyone in this world.

Except for the Water Goddess Aqua Rin had mentioned.

She was very curious about what made a 'god' so different.

"The adventure can wait until tomorrow."

"For now, since we're all together again, let's eat and relax."

Rin said, patting Rimuru on the shoulder, "The food here is really good."

"Really?"

Rimuru was a little skeptical.

But after taking her first bite of roasted meat, that skepticism evaporated instantly.

"Delicious!!!"

Rimuru covered her mouth in shock.

Not just her, even Velzard was taken aback by the food in the Konosuba World.

The meats, the vegetables, the fruits…

It wasn't just delicious. It was practically dreamlike!
