Cherreads

Chapter 10 - 6. Challenging Milim

I put the Charybdis, Storm Uchiha, in Veldora's cave. Out of sight from normal people.

Rimuru ate the parts of Charybdis that got sliced, so he must have gotten the skills like in canon. Probably.

Not that I care.

That night, we ate big fishes.

Though Knight Spider does taste like crabs, it still feels disgusting to eat a spider. On the vegetarian side, there are potatoes.

Well, it's a different world. So I need to get used to all sorts of foods.

A few days later, envoys from Eurazania arrived, led by Albis, Suphia and Phobio, who has become a Dark Slime.

While he couldn't talk or see, it seems like Carrion taught him Magic Sense and Thought Communication.

So, he shared information about Tear and Footman, who led him towards Charybdis.

Some stuff happened, but I don't really care. I got the first supply of 'unlimited' fruits from Eurazania.

While alone with Rimuru, I handed him all the different fruits.

"Analyse it, and produce their seeds so we can grow these fruits in Tempest itself."

"Eh!? But wouldn't we become Eurazania's competitor this way?"

"We can eat their complete market share. You can make the seeds even better than they naturally are, right? And combine different properties of different fruits into one?"

"Sasuke-kun, you really still want revenge on Eurazania, right?"

"I think you are the weird one here. If either I or Milim weren't here, whole Tempest would have been destroyed.

Moreover, you are running a country and you still haven't made currency yet.

The fruit exports can make the new Tempest currency valuable."

That reigned Rimuru into the plan.

"What if we change the colours of the fruits, you know, Tempest speciality? That way, it wouldn't look like we just stole Eurazania's market after getting this peace treaty."

"Well, that's fine."

"And Sasuke-kun. How about—"

"No."

"Atleast listen—"

"No."

I instantly knew from his slime face that he intends to push the financial responsibilities of Tempest to me.

If I don't deny responsibilities like this from the start, it wouldn't take long before I end up becoming Hokage.

"I will search for a Gold Mine for currency."

Saying that, I used Shadow Movement and left the office.

Sharingan is incredibly versatile. Especially in copying.

It's not straightforward 'copy' per se, but it lets me see how things work in incredible detail, and memorize it perfectly.

So learning new things becomes very easy.

I returned home, packing for the search for a gold mine in Great Jura Forest.

I guess I will need to start with asking the Dryads about it.

And let's make the Giant Ant Queen the next animal path summon. Not only will she be helpful in the search, but I think insects have a lot of potential, since Zegion becomes very strong according to some spoilers.

After done packing, I left home, and came across a scene.

"Okay Rimuru! Bye Bye! I am going back to work!"

Milim was leaving.

"Wait! Can we have a spar? I want to test my full power."

"Wahahaha! Sure!"

"Wait! Not here!"

Rimuru shouted.

"Fufu~ no need to worry, Rimuru! I know a perfect place!"

I smirked.

I know that I am weaker than Milim, but I will finally be able to test my full power.
