"I'm home!"
"A Chen, you're back! Come eat quickly, Sakuya made a super delicious meal today!"
Rimuru looked at Zhong Chen as he walked in and excitedly shouted at him.
"Is that so? Then I must try it quickly!"
With that, Zhong Chen went to a chair by the dining table and sat down. He picked up his chopsticks, about to pick up the beef in front of him, when Sakuya gently tapped the back of his hand with her chopsticks.
"Master, you need to wash your hands before eating!"
"Sakuya, I'm a dignified Golden Immortal! Not a speck of dust touches me, so I don't need to wash my hands, right!"
He said, and was about to continue reaching for the beef, but Sakuya tapped him again.
"You also don't need to sleep, so why do you still laze in bed every day?"
Hearing Sakuya's words, Zhong Chen was instantly defeated and could only obediently stand up to wash his hands.
"Wahahaha, A Chen is so lame! Sakuya lectured him again! I, however, obediently washed my hands!"
Milim said, raising both hands and showing off to Zhong Chen.
"Hmph, what's there to show off? You still obediently washed your hands, didn't you?"
Hearing Milim's words, Zhong Chen grumbled sullenly.
Coming to the faucet, Zhong Chen looked at his reflection in the mirror and softly said:
"Go deal with those scruffy birds in the abandoned church, then notify Benimaru. The legion can begin to assemble."
As Zhong Chen's voice fell, a respectful voice sounded in his ear:
"Yes, Lord Chen!"
After washing his hands, Zhong Chen returned to the dining table, looked at the remaining scraps, and shouted in disbelief:
"Milim!!! You, you actually ate it all!"
"Hmph hmph, it's because you were so slow, A Chen! I'm a Demon Lord, and I'm the strongest at eating too!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's roar, Milim retorted loudly with a proud expression.
"Damn it, I'll fight you!"
Not having eaten, Zhong Chen immediately bared his fangs and claws and pounced towards Milim.
However, before he could pounce two steps, Sakuya grabbed him by the collar of his neck.
"Master, I've already saved your meal! Please wait a moment."
After speaking, Sakuya pressed Zhong Chen back into his seat, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Rimuru, who was eating dessert nearby, showed a brilliant smile and said to Zhong Chen:
"Hehe, A Chen, you can't even beat Milim now. How will you get by outside in the future?"
Hearing Rimuru's words, Zhong Chen pouted, a disdainful smile on his face.
He retorted to Rimuru:
"Ho ho, how can an innocent child like me compare to you? You're a cunning adult!"
Because a certain Slime often used the methods he used in his previous life to coax children to deal with Milim.
As a result, Milim was confused every day, which led to Zhong Chen's remark about a 'cunning adult'.
"A Chen, you said that without even a hint of a blush!"
"When you were... that... that... why didn't you say you were an innocent child then?"
At this point, Rimuru couldn't help but blush, making her small face exceptionally bright.
"Hey, hey, hey, you were the one who said it! Why are you blushing like a teapot?"
"I don't care, it's all your fault!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Rimuru fully displayed the unreasonable nature of a girl.
Milim, on the other hand, tilted her small head in confusion, and softly uttered a single word:
"Eh?"
The next day · Occult Research Club
"Akeno, are you sure?"
Rias asked Akeno with a surprised expression.
"It's true. The entire church has completely disappeared, and the Fallen Angels hiding within it vanished without a trace."
"The strange thing is that there were no signs of a fierce battle at the scene, as if the entire church was destroyed by a single blow."
Akeno tidied her bangs and said to Rias with a serious expression.
"Is that so..."
"Alright, I understand, Yuto!"
Kiba Yuto, hearing the call, quickly stood up with his sword.
"President!"
"After school, you and Koneko go to the church again and investigate thoroughly to see if there are any other clues."
"Yes, President, I'll go inform Koneko now."
After speaking, Kiba Yuto bowed slightly to Rias and then turned and left the room.
"Recently, strange things are really increasing, and so are worries. Oh, by the way, is Teacher Zhong Chen's class today, Akeno?"
Hearing Rias's question, Himejima Akeno smiled and softly replied:
"Yes, there is, but it's an outdoor physical education class."
"Is President planning to capture his heart with sportswear?"
Hearing Akeno's teasing, Rias's face flushed red as she raised her hand and gently touched Himejima Akeno:
"Akeno, don't tease me. Teacher Zhong Chen and I are impossible, after all, I..."
At this point, Rias's voice became low again.
"Alright, alright, no more talk. Let's go quickly, class starts in half an hour, don't be late!"
Seeing Rias's somber mood, Himejima Akeno quickly interrupted the topic and pulled Rias out.
"Hey, hey, hey! I know we're going, Akeno, you don't have to pull me..."
"Very good, students, this class is physical education. Your original P.E. teacher is sick, so from now on, I will be teaching all your P.E. classes!"
Zhong Chen looked at the female students below, dressed in cool sportswear, nodded with satisfaction, and spoke.
As for whether the original P.E. teacher was actually sick...
Perhaps only the person herself, currently on a beach, wearing a bikini, and sunbathing, would know.
"Ara, does that mean Teacher Zhong Chen will be staring at our bodies every day, thinking about this and that?"
Himejima Akeno puffed out her ample chest and teased Zhong Chen with a playful smile.
"Wow, as expected of Sister Akeno, to be able to say such embarrassing things so calmly!"
"Wow, could it be that Sister Akeno likes Teacher Zhong Chen? This is big news!"
Rimuru, who was also standing in the crowd at this time, couldn't help but pout her small lips when she heard everyone's discussion.
She murmured softly:
"No, I have to call Testarossa over, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to stop these vixen."
Actually, Rimuru wasn't against Zhong Chen having a harem, after all, they would all have eternal life in the future.
However, even if they were to join, they would have to be approved by them; they wouldn't accept just any random person.
Among Zhong Chen's three women currently, Izayoi Sakuya unconditionally doted on Zhong Chen.
Kanae Kocho, being Zhong Chen's secretary, had to deal with various matters every day and simply had no time to come over.
The remaining one was Rimuru herself, who had no experience in how to intercept these 'butterflies'.
After thinking for a while, she decided to call Testarossa, who was already openly pursuing Zhong Chen, over.
The Monster Country Federation's diplomat was currently very idle.
There were no enemies they couldn't defeat; those they could defeat were directly eliminated, so the diplomat was almost a mere decoration.
Rimuru glanced at Himejima Akeno, then turned to look at Rias.
A mischievous smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she whispered:
"Hehe, who doesn't have a few devils in their family..."
