Chapter 7 - 5. Milim and name

I was flying around, trying to find a new place for my village. The corpses of the Orcs ruined my mood.

And just then, a pink beam started coming towards me.

Oh my Veldanava!? Is that Milim!? I don't have any honey or delicious food on me!

Well... She is pretty reasonable as long as I don't piss her off.

Probably.

The pink beam crashed on the ground before me, creating a large crater.

"Huahahaha! I am Demon Lord Milim Nava! I have come to introduce myself!"

I floated down and got on the ground.

"Hello. I don't have a name. But I am a slime."

She started poking me curiously.

"You could have killed the Orc Lord. Why didn't you?"

She will just see through my lie with Milim Eye, right?

It's best to just say the truth.

"Umm, I already obtained a Demon Lord Seed. There is another slime like me, Rimuru. I want him to kill the Orc Disaster and get his own Demon Lord Seed as well. I want us both to become True Demon Lords.

Just don't tell anyone, okay? Otherwise we may be targeted before we reach full strength."

"I see. I see. Only on one condition!"

...

"Yes?"

"I want to play with you!"

...Her 'playing' most likely means destroying her opponent, right?

"As long as I don't die."

"Wahahaha! No need to fear! I can control my strength!"

I used Degenerate on the apple I had devoured, removing it's seed.

[Seedless Apple acquired]

But... It's not very sweet, right?

Hmmm... Maybe...

I used Degenerate on flower, and acquired its nectar. Then I used Degenerate on the nectar to remove the acids like amino acid, which might make it bitter, and drastically increased it's sugar contents.

[Extra Sweet Nectar acquired]

Hmm... It's sweet, though the flavour isn't that great. But it's the best I have.

"Umm, here. Some gifts for you. It's my first try, so it might not be that great."

I gave her the Extra Sweet Nectar.

Milim ate it, grabbed me and put me in her arms, and said, "You are training under me! Huahahaha!"

Hmmm... Training under Milim?

This might actually be good.

"Alright!"

"Hmm... Then I should name you, right?"

"But wouldn't me getting named by you not allow me to evolve into a True Demon Lord?"

"Hmm, you are right! Even Guy can't evolve his maids!"

I don't remember it exactly, but I saw some spoilers that Rimuru evolved his subordinates into True Demon Lords due to Raphael, so it was unusual and even Guy couldn't evolve his two Primordial Demon Subordinates.

Rimuru was named by a True Dragon, and as an equal.

Well, Milim is as special as a True Dragon, being the daughter of Veldanava. So maybe her giving me her surname will work out too?

[No data—]

I am not asking you!

Anyway... should I even ask for it?

Veldora is a special case. He was sealed for hundreds of years and was very lonely.

Her surname is Nava, of Veldanava. I doubt she will just give it to me just because I ask nicely.

Well, it wouldn't hurt to try. It's not like she will kill me—

...It may be rather stupid of me, but I am going to gamble!

If I die, please isekai me again, Voice of the World!

"Umm... you know... maybe... having the same surname will mean family instead of subordinate... So maybe it can work out?"

Thankfully, Milim laughed and didn't kill me.

"Wahahaha! Guy would have never thought about it all! You are actually smart, aren't you?"

"Ahaha..."

Milim took out a diary from her spatial storage. It had all sorts of names and they were crossed out in order, starting from Middray.

"I had Middray prepare a list of all kinds of names!"

Oh. Rimuru is really special in the naming aspect huh?

Let's see...

In the list, the first non-crossed out name is... Holy shit!? Amaterasu!? That's such a cool—

"I got it! Squishy Nava!"

...

Large amounts of magicules left Milim, and started entering me.

Woah! What's this rush of power!?

If I had black hair, it would have turned golden and I would be screaming for power-up!

[Notice: The Individual Squishy Nava has acquired Extra Skill: Analytical Appraisal]

[Notice: The Individual Squishy Nava has acquired Magic: Draco Buster]

Woah Woah Woah!!!

Isn't Draco Buster really busted!? That one-shot Charybdis!?

I have no complaints against the name Squishy!

"Thank you Milim!"

"Wahahaha! I am amazing, right!?"

"You are the best!"

"Then your training starts right now! Race with me to my territory!"/

"Alright! Bring it on!"

I grinned while working on my new skills.

[Fusing Analytical Analysis and Sage]

[Extra Skill: Analytical Sage acquired]

[Separating Draco Buster...]

[Estimated time of Analysis: 10 days at full analysis power]

...Is it because Milim's destruction attribute far more complex than Veldora's storm attribute, or even after becoming Analytical Sage, it is still a bum?

Anyway, I am quite excited about our race. With my slime body capable of becoming perfectly aerodynamic, I shouldn't loose too badly!
