There is no system for the anime, so I have to work hard on my own.

"Xiaoye, are you done with your experiment?" Looking at Ye Yusheng and Rimuru with smiles on their faces, Kato couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Well, it's done." Ye Yusheng answered seemingly nonchalantly, but his undisguised smile had already exposed his inner joy and pride.

The look he gave Kato was gleaming with anticipation.

Kato blinked his bright eyes, already knowing his boyfriend's little thoughts, so he generously offered praise: "That's really amazing."

Her words were full of recognition and pride for his achievements, like the sweetest song in the world, flowing through the hearts of the two.

As for Rimuru, he inadvertently clenched his teeth, with a bitter look on his cute little face. His good mood for making space storage equipment disappeared at this moment.

However, the two people who were showing off their love didn't seem to notice his distress. Ye Yusheng took out an exquisitely shaped ring from his pocket and handed it to Kato.

"Here, I made this just for you."

Seeing his actions, Kato was stunned at first, then he smiled sweetly and took the ring he handed over.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she deliberately looked a little embarrassed.

Ye Yusheng didn't notice the smile hidden in Kato's eyes at all, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Seeing his nervous look, the smile in Kato's eyes became even brighter. He pretended to be thoughtful: "Xiaoye, tell me, which finger should I wear this ring on?"

As she spoke, her eyes began to wander back and forth over each finger of her left hand, as if proving her distress to Ye Yusheng.

Ye Yusheng was a little overwhelmed by her sudden question: "Whatever...whatever you want."

After saying that, he turned his head away as if to escape. He knew in his heart that every ring worn on a finger has its own special meaning, and Kato's inquiry at this moment was probably not just seeking a simple advice.

However, Kato's keen perception did not miss his casual glance or the slightly reddened earlobes due to shyness.

Kato couldn't help but smile slightly, and said softly: "Perhaps the ring finger would be a better choice?"

Her voice was like a gentle breeze, so soft and delicate that it instantly broke Ye Yusheng's heart.

He never thought that Kato would be so straightforward, which made his heart beat faster involuntarily.

You know, the ring on the ring finger often carries promise and eternity.

He didn't believe that Kato didn't know this, so there was only one possibility, that Kato did it on purpose.

Although he knew that the other party did it on purpose, he still couldn't help hurting him.

The ears, which were already slightly red, became even brighter, as if they were dyed a blush by the sunset.

However, Kato pretended to know nothing, and moved his feet lightly again, shortening the distance between them, with an unstoppable smile on his face: "Xiaoye, why don't you speak?"

Rimuru, who witnessed this scene, could no longer bear this sudden critical strike. With a bit of envy and helplessness, he quietly left, leaving the space to the two of them.

Well, that's not right. After all, Shion and the others are still watching. But it's really strange that Shuna is not here.

I think he must be researching some new dishes.

Then, he couldn't help but look at Ye Yusheng and Kato, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Aren't they really shy being watched by so many people?

This is also the doubt in everyone's mind at the moment.

Ye Yusheng finally mustered up the courage and turned his head. His cheeks flushed as he took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat that was fluctuating with excitement. He grumbled softly, "Xiaohui, please stop teasing me."

Looking at his cheeks flushed with shyness, Kato restrained his playful mood and at the same time felt a little bit unbelievable.

She never expected that Ye Yusheng would show such a shy expression, which made her, as a girl, feel her heart beating fast and her cheeks flushed.

She quickly turned her head away, as if she didn't want Ye Yusheng to notice her shyness at the moment.

When the blush on her face almost faded, she turned her head and chuckled. That smile was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness: "Then I won't tease you anymore."

After saying that, she put the ring directly on the middle finger of her left hand.

Seeing this, Ye Yusheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He took out a ring of the same style from his pocket and put it on the middle finger of his right hand. There was a hint of complaint in his voice: "Really, wouldn't it have been better if you had worn it like this earlier?"

Kato blinked, as if he didn't understand what the other person was saying, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

At that moment, the air was filled with the sweetness and happiness belonging to the two of them, just like when they were first born, warm and full of hope.

Ziyuan, who had been watching the show, couldn't help but speak out, with indescribable envy in her voice: "That's great."

At this moment, the two of them seemed to realize that there were other people around them, and their faces turned red instantly.

I want to die! ! ! !

.......

the other side.

A little girl with red twintails and scantily clad clothes suddenly descended from the sky, stirring up dust all over the ground. Her face was filled with excitement, and her voice was filled with joy and happiness: "Rimuru, here I come again."

“Welcome, Lady Milim.”

Sensing the vast, familiar magical power, Shuna rushed over to greet her, bowed slightly to the girl, and spoke.

"Hey, it's Shuna."

After greeting, Milim looked towards the other man's arms. Noticing that her familiar friend was not there, she couldn't help but ask, "Where's Rimuru?"

"Lord Rimuru is currently researching space storage equipment with Lord Ye Yusheng, but they should have finished their research by now." Shunai thought for a moment and replied.

“Ye Yusheng?” Milim repeated, but when she realized she had no recollection of him, she asked curiously, “Is he Rimuru’s new subordinate?”

"Lord Ye Yusheng is not Lord Rimuru's subordinate, but a new friend." Shuna explained patiently.

"I see."

Then, Milim’s expression suddenly paused, and a look of grave concern appeared on her face as she spoke.

"Rimuru actually has a new friend! No, I won't let anyone take my best friend away from me!"

After saying that, without waiting for Shuna to stop him, he felt the location of Rimuru's magic power and ran away.

“Milim-sama, please slow down!”

Zhu Cai, who was chasing after him, quickly reminded him.

However, as the Demon King, Milim was not someone she could easily catch up with. In the blink of an eye, Milim had disappeared.

Rimuru, who was feeling a bit depressed while walking on the road, was suddenly thrown several meters away. When he saw the person on top of him, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Why are you here?"

“Of course I came to play with you.” Milim rubbed her little face against Rimuru frantically.

Rimuru, who couldn't stand being rubbed anymore, turned into a round slime with a pop.

Looking at the blue slime, Milim's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she quickly regained her energy and placed Rimuru on her head.

Humming a tune happily, he headed towards the beehive.

The bee monsters Abit and the beetle Segion, who were collecting honey outside, couldn't help but shiver, as if they were being stared at by some terrifying existence.

But when they thought about the fact that they were under the protection of Lord Rimuru, they felt that this must be an illusion.

It is hard for them to imagine who else can threaten them!

It can't be the Demon King, right?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to work.

Seeing the direction Milim was heading, Rimuru immediately sensed something was wrong and asked, "Milim, where are you going?"

“To look for bugs, of course,” Milim replied, her eyes gleaming with indescribable excitement.

It was as if she remembered something delicious, and there were some sparkling smiles at the corners of her mouth.

"Etc., etc!"

Rimuru wanted to stop Milim's actions, but found that Milim's eyes changed and a terrifying low pressure emanated from her whole body.

With a gentle tug, she removed Rimuru from her head.

Just like dealing with a toy that was in the way, she threw it hard, and Rimuru flew away in a graceful arc like a kite with a broken string.

“Even Rimuru can’t stop me from finding bugs!” Milim’s voice echoed in the air like a war drum, declaring her determination.

Then, she turned into a gust of wind and rushed towards her destination, leaving behind only a cloud of dust and Rimuru's exclamation.

However, when she arrived at the sunlit hive, she found that the bees had disappeared, not to mention the nectar they had collected.

Only the empty nest was left, like the silence after a feast.

A hint of disappointment crossed Milim’s face as she didn’t get to eat the honey. The fiery light in her eyes seemed to dim a little, and even the ahoge on her head drooped down, like dead grass that had lost its vitality in autumn.

Just when she was about to be overwhelmed by disappointment, a familiar voice, like a ray of sunshine in spring, penetrated the haze in her heart.

"for you!"

She looked up suddenly, and then saw Rimuru, who had returned at some point, standing not far away, holding an exquisite little jar in his hand. The jar was full of golden liquid, like flowing sunlight, emitting an alluring luster.

The disappointment in Milim's eyes was instantly wiped away: "Oh, it's honey!"

She snatched the jar of treasured sweetness in a flash, her eyes sparkling with uncontrollable joy.

Without saying anything, she simply dipped her fingertips into the jar, scooped up a spoonful of golden honey, and put it into her mouth.

The next second, her face lit up with happiness and satisfaction, as if the whole world was gentle because of this sweetness.

Seeing the smile on Milim’s face, Rimuru couldn’t help but smile as well.

However, the next moment, the smile on his face froze because of Milim's question: "Rimuru, I heard that you secretly made new friends?"

It was clearly a common question, but Rimuru sensed a dangerous atmosphere and swallowed hard, as if this was the only way to calm him down: "You're talking about Ye Yusheng and Kato, right?"

Milim appeared unhurried. She parted her lips slightly, savoring the sweetness of the honey, her tone inexplicably calm. "They, so there's more than one?"

Her words were like a gentle breeze, seeming to be stating a fact but also expressing surprise, making it difficult to guess her true emotions.

However, during this seemingly calm conversation, Rimuru keenly sensed an unusual aura quietly emanating from Milim, causing him to shudder involuntarily.

I even had a strange feeling in my heart, as if I had been caught cheating.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, and quickly shook his head, putting this ridiculous idea behind him.

At the same time, he also had to face the reality of how to appease his friend who was known as a destructive tyrant.

By the way, I can give her the newly made space storage equipment.

Thinking of this, Rimuru quickly took out an exquisite space ring from his gastric band and handed it to Milim. "Milim, look, this is the space ring I recently developed. You are the first person to get it!"

After hearing his words, the dangerous aura around Milim gradually dissipated, and a bright smile appeared on her face again. She held the ring and observed it.

Looking at this scene, Rimuru couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Has he passed the test?

Then, he heard a familiar voice: "Rimuru-sama, Milim-sama, I prepared snacks for you!"

Turning around, he saw that it was the Great Demon Princess Shuna, who was walking towards them with snacks in her hands. She was smiling, but Rimuru always felt that there was a dangerous aura from her.

He resisted the urge to run away: "Thank you for your hard work, Shucai!"

“It’s not hard!”

She still had that unfathomable smile on her face, and she put the plate aside lightly.

However, Rimuru noticed that Shuna's eyes were fixed on the ring in Milim's hand, with envy and jealousy flashing in his eyes.

"Shunai."

Rimuru spoke cautiously.

"What's wrong, Rimuru-sama?"

Hearing the voice, Shuna turned around and looked at him with a smile, but Rimuru clearly noticed that there was no smile on Shuna's face at all.

Rimuru shuddered. "If Shuna wants it, I can also give her a ring."

The next moment, Rimuru noticed that Shunai's eyes were shining with gold, and her voice was filled with excitement: "Please give me one!"

Seeing this, Rimuru quickly took out a ring and handed it over.

After receiving the ring, Shucai couldn't stop the happy smile on her face.

This made Rimuru confused, as did Milim and Shuna. You all have sufficient spatial skills, so why are you obsessed with such a small ring?

Little did he know that the "Great Sage" had quietly taken away a ring stored in the gastric space of the "Glutton".

“Ah, Rimuru, you’re here.”

Hearing the voice, Rimuru turned his head and was about to say hello, but then he saw the paired rings on the middle finger of his right hand and the middle finger of Kato's left hand, and the words he hadn't said were swallowed back in an instant.

"Master Ye Yusheng, Master Kato, please have some tea."

As she spoke, Shuna skillfully poured a cup of black tea for each of them.

"Thank you, Miss Shuna."

Ye Yusheng and Kato took the black tea and thanked Shuna.

Then, his eyes fell on Milim, who was playing with the space ring.

From her attire and the terrifying magic that emanated from her, he had already guessed her identity. "This young lady must be the legendary Demon King and Destroyer, Milim-sama!"

Hearing his words, Kato couldn't help but look over, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Well, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that such a cute little girl would be the legendary demon king.

"Are you Ye Yusheng?"

Milim asked with curiosity in her eyes.

Hearing her question, Ye Yusheng was stunned: "Milim-sama has actually heard of my name?"

"Well, I heard from Shuna that you are Rimuru's new friend."

"I see."

"Originally, I was curious about what kind of person could become friends with Rimuru, but now it seems that you are indeed qualified, a person favored by a dragon!"

Hearing this, Ye Yusheng was stunned at first, then he realized that the other party was probably talking about Fafnir.

"I never thought that there are pure-blooded dragons in the world besides my aunt and the others."

Milim's tone was filled with emotion.
