MC's POV:
" Hey, are you OK? "
(Yeah, I'm fine)
((Can you hear me, little ones?))
As we heared the voice, we turned our bodies & saw a giant dragon.(A/N: The Great Mighty Storm Tsundere Dragon.)
(DO-RA-GONNN)
"Calm down brother." I said to Rimuru & turned to Veldora. "Hello Veldora-san. Fancy meeting you here."
Rimuru just stood there quietly.
((Hoh, this unique red one knows me. As expected of me, I am famous even Slimes knows who I am.))
Veldora praised himself for some minutes.
(How do you know who he is?) Rimuru asked me.
Rimuru was not that scared of Veldora after seeing his idotic behaviour. When Rimuru said that Veldora also got curious because normally slimes don't have intelligence. But I knows about Veldora so Rimuru asked.
"Brother, remember when I said that I have a Unique Skill called Records. The skill that grant me access to all information of this world only limited to Unique ranks. That's how I know Veldora-san."
(Oh! Yeah, I forgot about that. Haha, Sorry.)
(Don't be sorry, remember what I said before? We're brothers. And brothers don't thank or feel sorry for eachother.) I said with a smile.
(Yeah!) Rimuru said happily.
((What an interesting Unique Skill. Such knowledge, but of course, no knowledge can surpass mine. Kuahahahahaha! You had aroused my curiosity, slimes, also the regeneration powers you just showed astonished me. Are you a named monster, perhaps, or a unique?))
(A what? Or a what? Come again? I'm sorry, I don't get it what you mean just now. I've been alive here only 90 days. Brother, do you know what he means?) Rimuru said.
" Yeah, I know what he means. You see, a Unique monster is an individual who have suddenly attained unusual abilities, akin to mutations. Just like in the games or Animes. They are occasionally born in areas with high Magicule concentrations. When we were Reincarnated, the Voice of the World selected this place, bcoz of the huge amount of Magicule leakage from Veldora-san. This is the perfect place for unique beings like us to be born in. And as for the name. When you name a monster some amount of Magicules (life energy) is transferred to a lesser monster, completing it's incomplete soul, allowing it to evolve, gain higher intelligence, & form soul corridor with the individual like creating master-servent relationship. But when you also name the one who gave you a name can form a relationship like equals.) I explained him.'This surely is a long explanation I've never explained this long to anyone. Well, Rimuru is new so he doesn't know anything about this world. I'll just have to tell him to ask from great sage his reliable partner.'
I just sigh.
(I see. That skill of yours is really something else, huh.)
" Yeah "
((Hmm. No monster has ever come close to approaching my domain in the past three hundred years. If you guys were born from my leaking Magicules, then perhaps, indeed, that gave you the power to touch me & live to tell the tale!))
(Oh... So you're kind of, like, our father, then)
((No, not your parent by blood. I have no reproductive ability to speak of. Some monsters do, & some don't, you see. By the way, the red slime over there said you both were reincarnated. Tell me, are you both perhaps otherworlders?))
"Yupp"
(What are otherworlders?)
"Well, Rimuru you see you have great sage, right."
(Yeah.)
"Then, ask her. She also knows everything. Well, since you have asked that I explain it to you. You see, Otherworlders are people that come from other worlds. Some of them appear here by luck while others arrive here by being summoned. The summoned people are called summons & most of them are put under some sort of curse & used as weapons. Using my skill, it seems that we two are the only & 1st reincarnators that came from other world." I explained it to him.
(I see. It's great then, I'll probably ask her from next time. And there are other worlds, let's go _ find these otherworlders & see if they come from our world.) Rimuru said.
"Yeah! Let's go." And as we were about to move.
((WAITT!) Veldora shouted. 'Knew it.'
I can see Rimuru jolted stopping is his tracks.
(Y-yes?)
((S-stay here a bit. You see, it's dangerous to go out.))
" Aren't you just lonely?"
((Ehh! I-impossible, I, the great mighty storm dragon Veldora is lonely!?))
I just gave him a blank stare.
((Fine, I'm lonely.))
(Then let's become friends.)
"Yup."
((Whattt!? Me!? Friends with two lowly slimes! Am I that low?))
"Then goodbye, we are leaving."
We started to move away.
((W-who told you I don't want to be friends.))
'"Tsundere '''
(Okk then, let's be friends.)
"Yeahh"
(Great! Now let's leave this cave. You can follow us Veldora-kun.)
((U-um, I can't. You see, I am sealed here?))
(What happened? Who sealed you?)
((Mm? Ah. Yes, I perhaps underestimated my opponent slightly. I eventually began fighting with, or should we say, more urgency, but... well, it was rather too late by then!))
(You look so strong. Was your opponent that tough?)
((She was... quite strong. She was what the humans call a " Hero", one blessed with so-called Divine Protection.))
"He's right you know. That hero is called Chronoa, she used her two unique skills called Absolute Severance & Unlimited Imprisonment with some magic to imprison him. She might also be an otherworlder. I'm not sure bcoz Records doesn't know her origin & it seems like I can't access anymore information about her." I lied masterfully.
(What? Even your all-knowing skill don't know?)
To which I only nodded.
(( I knew it, & it seems that she is not as simple as I think she is.))
"Yeah, enough about that. Let's get you out of the seal. I know a couple of ways to do it."
((How!?))
"Remember, Records is only limited to Unique information, so I can gain access to the information of this seal."
(Great! We can get you out of here in no time... Right?)
((Y-You guys.))
I can see Veldora starting to do puppy eyes & touch the tip of his fingers.
'' Don't look at us with those puppy eyes. I can understand if it was a girl but a dragon."
Man that's really hilarious.
((So, how are you guys going to break the seal?))
" I can devour you & analyze the seal with my Skill called Solomon in my subspace. It will take... I think, 'solomon' [It'll take 4 months to finish it.] It will take 4 months to finish it."
((Wow, you really are something. You are not even named yet & you can break this seal that even I can't do))
" Yeah, but I'll not be the 1 to break you seal."
(((WHATT??))) Both of them shouted. "
*Sigh*
"Don't worry, my brother here will do it. If he devours you along with your seal with his Unique Skill Predator & analyze the outside of the seal while you analyze the inside, he'll be able to breal the seal, then release you. It'll happen faster if your skills evolve into Ultimate realm. His skills can evolve if he evolves into a True Demon Lord. Veldora can train inside the Slime's Stomach & gain an Ultimate Skill at the same time. If you have an Ultimate Skill you can at least rival or even defeat one of you sisters. Also, why I'm not devouring Veldora-san bcoz of my Skill 'Solomon'. And if I do devour him she'll probably torture him to death." As I said that both of them sweated. "So, what do guys think of my plan?"
((I will do that! I need to be strong enough to protect myself from my Devil Sisters.))
Veldora trembled a bit while thinking of the times he was constantly killed by 2 hot MIL- *ahem* I mean 2 Devil Sisters. (Damn, MC likes them in different way.😜)
(I'm fine with that, but what is this True Demon Lord?) Rimuru asked.
"Brother, A True Demon Lord is the final evolutionary stage after becoming a Demon Lord seed. They are the pinnacle of power ranging from Special-S rank to Catastrophic beings. My existence value is 400,000, so I am on my way to on becoming a Demon Lord seed. I am powerful right off the bat bcoz I have multiple poweful skills I am a red slime. I am the only Red Slime in existence & my specie is on 1 stage lower than a Demon Slime. You will become a Demon Slime if you evolve into a True Demon Lord. Your existence value is only 10,000, so you'll 1st have to become powerful & acquire a Demon Lord Seed. And to evolve into a True Demon Lord you will know that when the time comes. " I explained. Man, Rimuru always forgets that he literally have a cheat skill.
"Brother, It really frustrates explaining these things. Please, I'm requesting you to ask her & if you not... 'I can see Rimuru is sweating' I will cry 😢."
(Heh, fine. You scared me for a second. Earlier, you said my existence value is 10,000 & yours is 400,000. So what 'bout Veldora's?)
((Yes, tell me I am also curious.)) Vedora asked.
"Right now Veldora's a Catastrophic being so, his existence value is 70,000,000, but if he regains his Magicules & gains an Ultimate Skill, he can go upto 80,000,000 or even more."
(Wow, you really are powerful.)
((Kuku- kuahahahahaha- hahahahah, of course, I am powerful. I am the strongest, afterall.)) Veldora bragged.
"But you are sealed here."
"Ok, devour him."
(Right.)
((Wait! Let's name eachother as symbol of our brotherly friendship.))
"Sure."
((Think about a name like the humans use, like a family name. And then I will give you 2 you names.))
(Hmm, what should our last names be like?)
"Probably, something related to Storm. How about Tempest" I said.
(That's a great name, let's go with that.)
((Kuahahahahaha, an amazing name for the amazing me. I like it!)) Veldora exclaimed.
"Thanks."
((From today onwards, I shall be known as Veldora Tempest!)) Veldora declared. 'Well, good for him.'
((Now, I shall give you 2 a name.))
