Still, the same old saying. The two were merely of the same race, and there was no animosity in that regard.
However, Velzard did not want Rin to procreate.
The example of the Star King Dragon was right before her eyes.
To conceive Milim, the Star King Dragon expended most of his magicules, leading to his demise.
Such were the rules of the Cardinal World.
The stronger the monster, the more difficult it was to conceive offspring.
Many times, it would result in a one-for-one exchange.
"Mm, I'll be careful."
Rin currently had no need for offspring, and he wasn't the kind of person who was promiscuous.
Even if he were to have relations, Rin would choose women with whom he had an emotional connection.
Shuna and Shion, he had known since early on, and they had already expressed their feelings.
As for Darkness, they had already played to that extent.
So, taking it a step further was naturally a matter of course.
"You're such a philanderer."
Rimuru pouted. "You already have Shuna and Shion."
"This is the advantage of being the company boss."
Rin said confidently, "You can legitimately have a harem!"
"What a scumbag thing to say!"
Rimuru expressed disdain for Rin. "You actually said it so openly!"
But that was all.
When the boss went out to pick wildflowers, as an employee, she not only couldn't speak carelessly, but also had to keep his secret.
At critical moments, she even had to stand guard for the boss.
Sigh...
Thinking this, Rimuru looked at Ogerpon, who was currently catching butterflies in the courtyard.
For some reason, Rimuru began to envy Ogerpon.
This child was truly pure-hearted to the extreme, always so carefree.
Damn it!
She also wanted a life where she didn't have to work, just loafing around, slacking off, and lying flat every day.
"Alright, starting today, I'm taking on a new job~."
Rin said, "Rimuru, for you, I plan to have you take the eldest sister and Ogerpon to Arcanletia, a tourist destination in this world, to play."
"Eh?"
Rimuru said in surprise, "We don't need to help?"
The girl originally thought Rin would travel with her, but she didn't expect it to be a separate vacation.
This made Rimuru feel a little guilty, thinking she might have been too self-indulgent.
"It's like this."
Rin said, "I plan to transform the Sealed Cave into a true labyrinth."
"You should know why I connected the two worlds, right?"
"It's to acquire more laws!"
"That's right."
Rin said, "Simple law interaction is too slow."
"So, I'm going to speed up this process," Rin added. "The method is simple: attract adventurers from this world to explore it and fight the monsters within."
"This will drive the interaction of laws, thereby greatly shortening the time required."
"Ah!"
Rimuru's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "But, but isn't that too dangerous?"
After spending time together yesterday, Rimuru had a very good impression of the adventurers in the Konosuba World.
However, this didn't change the fact that the adventurers were a bunch of weaklings.
"The adventurers in this world are still in a beginner village like Axel. If they enter the Sealed Cave, they'll surely die, right?"
Rimuru wanted to persuade Rin, but she felt that Rin wasn't such a heartless person.
In terms of relationships, Rin was also on good terms with the adventurers.
"Of course not!"
Rin said, "I will create new magic monsters and then re-set their power."
"Magic monsters?"
"Ah, this is a term I specifically created to distinguish between monsters and magical beasts."
Rin said, "In the Sealed Cave I created, magic monsters possess immortality. Even if they are defeated, they will only turn into magicules and return to the labyrinth's internal cycle."
"The adventurers are the same in this regard."
In other words, it's like a game.
Fighting monsters, defeating bosses, dropping various materials, finding treasure chests, and so on.
"Then the source of equipment and items is..."
"No need to worry."
Rin smiled. "I have an ability called Treasure Creation, so I can easily create enough items."
And what he had to do today was to plan the labyrinth, create magic monsters and Treasures, and then arrange them in suitable areas.
"It sounds very interesting!!"
Upon hearing Rin's plan, Rimuru immediately became interested.
This interest even surpassed her curiosity about the Konosuba Otherworld, and she was eager to try it out.
"You go play first."
"When I'm almost done setting up, come back and help me debug."
This was like a game developer inviting players specifically for testing.
Rin needed Rimuru to be among the first players to find loopholes in the labyrinth for him and offer suggestions.
"At that time, you can make modifications based on my foundation."
"Understood."
Rin gave her a vacation, letting her play for a while.
When she returned, she would take over the project prepared by Rin and exercise her subjective initiative.
"You two as well."
Rin said to Velzard and Ogerpon, "Don't cause trouble in this world."
The main reason for having Rimuru accompany the two girls was considering that Rimuru, having been human in her previous life, possessed her own moral and value system and wouldn't act without reason.
Velzard didn't say much.
She and Ogerpon went with Rimuru to the city where the Axis Church was located.
Rin truly didn't perfunctorily treat Rimuru this time.
Last night's banquet, followed by a trip to a resort and hot springs.
I just don't know if she can withstand the terrifying evangelism of the Axis Church followers...
Rin thought with a bit of a mischievous grin. Well, with Rimuru's gentle personality, I imagine some interesting things will happen.
You ask about Velzard?
Rin wasn't worried about her at all.
Based on Rin's understanding of Velzard, she wouldn't stay and play at some tourist destination.
What she was truly interested in was the world itself.
Therefore, Rimuru wouldn't be able to control Velzard.
"Is that alright?"
Violet appeared by Rin's side at some point.
"It's fine."
Rin believed Velzard would control herself. "Let her explore this world on her own."
Whether it was traveling around the Konosuba Otherworld or leaving the Otherworld to explore the entire Konosuba Universe, it didn't matter.
Rin originally needed a pair of eyes to clear the fog for him and light up the world map.
Since Velzard had this interest, why would Rin stop her?
