«Previous Chapter»

Currently the 'Idiot Trio' or should I say 'The Three idiots' and Shizue-san are saying goodbye to us. Just as when they were about to leave Shizue-san stopped at her track. That was when I knew Ifrit would come out. 'If only... if she had agreed that time... Well, let's not think about it.' Let's beat him into pulp. Then Veldora will get a partner to play Shogi with him. All right, let's do this.

"Rigurd, Rigur! Quick evacuate everyone from this area." I ordered them. "I am having a bad feeling about this."

"""Brother? / Rizaku-Sama? / Rizaku-san?""" They all questioned me at the same time. Jeez, just do it already.

"Just do it!" I ordered them.

«Current»

3rd person POV:

With Rizaku giving them the orders. Rigurd and Rigur immediately obeyed and quickly left to evacuate the people. Just when they left, Shizue, who was on her knees, started to scream.

"Shizue-san!"

"What's happening to her!?"

Then suddenly, a massive wave of fire blasted out of her body. Fire erupted everywhere engulfing Shizue while gathering smoke everywhere.

"Shizue-san!!!" 'Jeez, the idiot trio, why are they shouting like this.' Rizaku thought to himself.

When the smoke dissipated, everyone saw Shizue flying in the air with fire dancing around her.

"Shizu... Shizue Izawa?" Kaval said

"Isn't Shizue Izawa... The Conqueror of Flames!?" Gido exclaimed.

"Y-you mean the hero of the guild from about 50 years ago!?" Eren said in disbelief

"Wasn't she retired already?"

"Shizue started to tear up and Ifrit finnally took over her body.

"Brother! Can you stop that thing!?" Rimuru asked his brother Rizaku.

"Sure, I will knock it down and you use Predator on it, ok?"

"Why can't you devour it?"

"I can create it's skills, so I don't need it. You, on the other hand, don't have those skills. So, you will devour it."

"Fine, fine. Knock it down quickly, I don't want our tents to burn!"

"Me too. I don't want that either!"

Eren, Kaval and Gido, who heard their conversation, just looked at them in disbelief. 'Well, can't blame them.'

'''Why are they taking this so lightly.'''

Rizaku's POV:

"All right, here I go!" I stepped forward catching Ifrit's attention. I let out 10% of my aura trying to look evil. 'Chunni is calling me. Hmm, I should put on a good show since Noir is spying on us.' I thought

"Kufufufu, do you think you can fight me, little spirit~" I let out the legendary sadistic smile of Diablo. As I said, Ifrit felt something was wrong and backed off a bit.

"Where do you think you're going?" I jumped up high and flew, spreading my bat wings. Before Ifrit could react, my fist connected to his face, I knocked him. As I punched him down to the ground creating a shockwave. I have to say he's quite strong, he wasn't knocked out cold, so I said Rimuru to quickly finish his job.

"Rimuru, quick!"

"Right" And just like that, I saw Rimuru's body expanded and covered Ifrit. After Ifrit was devoured, Shizue-san was left in place.

'I really want to save her. Let's try one last time. 'Solomon', create the Greater Flame Spirit 'Pheonix' also don't give that spirit ego. So, I can save her.'

[Understood, Master. Creating the Greater Flame Spirit 'Pheonix'...

.

.

.

.

.

.

Successful.

Master, Greater Flame Spirit 'Pheonix' has been successfully created.]

'Thank you, partner.'

[No, Master. It's my job.]

«Time-Skip»

While Shizue-san was on her deathbed, I was sitting by her side with Rimuru on my lap.

"Thank you, I nearly... killed someone I cared about again. With my own hands."

"Hey, slime-sans"

'''Yes?'''

"Would you mind listening?"

"You shouldn't talk too much..."

"Yeah, it's not good for your health. You should take rest."

"I want people to remember my story... and know that I lived."

"All right."

She started telling us about her life story. Well, I already knew about it, but still... 'Why am I crying? Damn it!'

"Brother, what happened? What are you crying for?" Rimuru asked me

"I see, Rizaku-san is a little too emotional."

"Ahh! Don't worry its just... Nothing. You can continue." Damn, why did I cry?

"Okay..."

"I continued to serve the Demon Lord as his closest side. But then I met..."

"The Hero, Chronoa, am I right?" I said

"Yes, fufu, you know everything, don't you?"

"Well, you see. I have a Unique Skill 'Records'. It allows me to have the knowledge of this world to unique ranks. That's how I know." I continued. "Also I just know that because of that mask" I pointed at the mask "That mask is old, I mean, very old. If not, ageless you know."

"I did not know that... and now it's cracked. And that Unique Skill 'Records'. That skill seems pretty handy."

"Thank you and don't worry about that. I don't know if other people could do it or not, but this little anti-magic mask can be easily repaired."

"He's right," Rimuru added

"I see... Thank you. Now where was I?"

"The Hero"

"Oh right, so the Hero then-"

Shizue-san continued about her journey, her mentor and students.

"Hey, Slime-sans, what are your names?

"Huh? I think I told, I'm Rimuru and this is Rizaku."

"No, no, I mean your real names."

"Oh, it's Satoru, Mikami Satoru."

"I'm Riyujin, Riyujin Aki."

"I'm Shizue. Shizue Izawa."

"Shizue-san, you should sleep now."

"Yeah, you should take rest."

"Satoru-san, I'd like to ask a favor. May I?"

"Of course, ask me anything."

"Please eat me, the same way you did to Ifrit."

"But-"

"I dislike this world... still, I can't digest it. Just like that man... So... That's why... I don't-" Before Shizue-san can continue I thought to interrupt. 'Sorry, Shizue-san but I don't want you to die. No, I can't see that. So, I will convince you this time No, I will save you.'

"Shizue-san, I know how much you hate this world. But don't you think the children or the ones who care about you will be able to believe that you left them. Shizue-san, just think about them, about your students. Please Shizue-san, please let me help you. I don't want you to die. Please."

After thinking about my request Shizue-san gave her answer.

"Sob* sniff* I'm sorry, Rizaku-san for *Sob* that. I will reconsider it. If you can save me. Please then..."

"It's okay, Shizue-san. I have already find a way to save you. Just close your eyes."

"...Mm"

'Brother, how are you going to save her. And why are you so desperate to save her' Rimuru asked me.

'Big Bro, for the 1st question. I will explain it to you later. And as for the 2nd, I don't want you to become sad. It will hurt seeing my brother cry. First, let's save her. She don't have much time.'

'Okay, I believe in your brother. And thanks for that.'

Then, I placed my right hand on Shizue-San's head.

'Solomon, Do your work'

'On it Master.'

Then, A golden light started coming out of my right hand. After a few seconds, the light died down. *Sigh* 'She is safe.'

"Shizue-san, you can open your eyes. You are safe now. You won't die. I'm really happy."

"Eh! Ah! Thank you, Rizaku-san, for saving my life. I'm forever in debt with you. Thank you very much. I don't know how I will repay you."

"Oh! You don't. I just wanted to save you. You don't have to repay me anything. And if you want to repay. Hmm, why don't you stay with us to train us your sword skills. Not me, I mean Big Brother Rimuru. And guide us. And besides, someone really loves you. Hehe" I said while glancing at Rimuru with a smirk on my face.

"Okay, I will be more than happy." She said with a wicked smile. It literally sent chills through out my body. 'Rest in Peace, Rimuru. I will remember you.' "And you said someone loves me so who is he."

"Well, you will know that in the future. And that person genuinely loves you."

"Ah... ok. But how did you do that." She asked me. 'Let's tell her the truth.' I thought to myself.

"You see, I have a Skill called 'Creation'. That let's me create anything upto Unique level. Then I created an ego less spirit called Greater Flame Spirit called 'Pheonix'. And merged it with your soul. Well, Shizue-san, you can continue with your story. After that you should take some rest. And the remaining explaintion I will give you after wards." Meanwhile Rimuru just stared at us. *Sigh*

(A/N: I forgot to tell but this Unique Skill 'Creation' can create anything like unique level. It's useful that the the Unique Skill Yuuki have.)

After that she continued telling about her story and about Leon. After that she went to take some rest.

'Rimuru, analyze her body so that you can use her body or transform.'

'Eh! Why?'

'Jeez, just do it. And if it's about her permission. Don't worry I will handle it.'

'Okay, you later explain it to her.' Then Rimuru used Predator to analyse her body and transformed into something about 8 - 9 years old Shizue-san with golden eyes same as me and blue silver hair.

'You finnally got what you wanted.'

'What?'

'A human form!'

'Yes, okay.'

'Now take these!' I threw some some clothes that looked exactly like mine. Or should I say I just copied my clothes and gave it to him. Pure black shirt, black pants and crocks. He is wearing black pants while me black trousers.

'O-Oh! Thank you.'

'Your welcome! Also that clothes will evolve with your growth. I mean now it's only Legendar- Grade. It will eventually evolve with you. Hehe'

'Let's go outside. Let her rest for sometime.'

Rimuru just nodded. 'What's with that smug face.' he thought to himself.

'By the way! Don't worry about your son. After you evolve into a True Demon Lord or you have it I think ask 'Great Sage'. You will gain a skill called 'Universal Shapeshift'. And then you can grow your... Ahem. Anyways, hmmm' Why is he staring at me like he have seen a ghost.

'Who said I was worried!!!' He looked away because of embarrassment. But still he looked down at his son. *Sigh* You big pervert.

'Let's go out'

'Mm' He said while smiling 😁. He's really happy.

Yo! Everyone. Author-kun here.

How was the chapter. I hope you all liked it.

And as for Why I saved Shizue-san? You see, I really like her. Well, anyways. As for in light novel Rimuru saved Shizue by travelling through space-time. And later we came to know that she is non other than Rimuru's grandmother. And you see, I'm changing some events. Like Shizue is not Rimuru's grandmother. Anyways, I hope you like this chapter.

Thanks for reading! Bye! Love you all.

By the way, Testarossa's entry will be after 2 chapters.

Also, Rizaku is evolving constantly. His Ultimate Skill 'Solomon' is helping him grow his Magicules(Unique Skill 'Magicule Generator') with Chaos energy. Every single day. By the time he evolves into True Demon Lord he will be able to have a good match for Guy Crimson. Even so Guy Crimson will emerge victorious for his experience and vast strength. (A/N: That's just a joke. He won't be able to defeat him. But will be able to fight him. If he don't have his Manas. Guy Crimson is far superior than Rizaku.)
