Rimuru's Pov
Times sure gotten interesting. I arrived to engraccia to save shizue's students, and the first thing to happen once I arrived was being denied of alcohol because everyone thinks I'm a little girl, once again my manhood took a hit. I decided to head over to the free guild since their head master was a former student of shizue's. After some explanations I was hired as the teacher of their class. The kids did took a while to warm up to me but eventually we were joyous class. Some time into my teachings I met up with this merchant mjöllmile who wanted to thank me for saving him from a dragon attack, although I'm not sure if my assistance was really needed
*flashback*
Rimuru: (hopefully this disguise will keep my identity a secret)
The sky dragon had already made a big hole through a fortress wall and it seemed like it was preparing another attack
Rimuru: Gluttony!
I devoured it's attack and was about to devour the sky dragon except for the fact that I was interrupted by another dragon that was far bigger than the sky dragon
Wind Dragon Lord:*chomp*
Sky dragon: *screech*
Rimuru: What the!?
WInd Dragon Lord: Be not afraid maijin, I am merely retrieving this fleeing dragon. Farwell
Rimuru: Eh!?
As soon as they came, they flew out of the kingdom. It was thanks to this event where I learned where the Dwelling of Spirits where I met a pixie neet named Ramiris. Apparently she's somehow a demon lord which I still find hard to believe. But I finally fulfilled my promise to Shizue of saving the kids, I even gotten a kiss from a hot spirit.
But now I'm doing what they would call a business trip but what I would call yuuki sending me to the kingdom of Coleus out of favor for an associate of his. I gotten paired up with Paulo who is an -A rank adventurer but the most he did was get me to pay for his inn cost and complain about me more than necessary at the bar instead of getting info.
I did what I needed to do there which was basically cure the illness of their princess with my magicule fueled honey, surprising how effective this is a medical product, it even cured the princess's blindness. It was looking good for the most part, I just need to figure out how to settle the fued between the two princes, but before I could start my operation on that, the princess was put in cold slumber and I was their number one suspect. I was practically thrown in jail.
knowing I won't get anything done in a jail cell, I left a body double in my place and investigated for any possible clues about what's going on. In my investigation, I discovered that the princess posses the Unique Skill Wisher which can allow her to see the shapes of souls. The biggest I got out of my investigation was that the Court Physician Gustav is likely the mastermind in all of this. With this knowledge in hand, I arrived back in tempest to get some help
Kaijuno: So that's what's up?
Rimuru: basically yeah
Kaijuno: So you got yourself in jail again, you really can't behave yourself in other nations can ya?
Rimuru: oh MY-
Benjamin: so what shall we do about this?
Rimuru: *sigh* Tomorrow night, Benjamin and Kaijuno, I need you to stop Prince Aslan from making a move.
Kaijuno: sure thing
Benjamin: leave it to us
Rimuru: Leonardo, make sure to continue keeping a track on Barack-san. hopefully he'll follow my advice, but if not, you are free to use force if necessary
Leonardo: Noted
Rimuru: Ranga, I want you to gaurd Marquis Amadi's household
Kaijuno: that goes for you too Willfla
Ranga: Got it!
Willfla: You can leave this to us
Kaijuno: so what are you going to do since then
Rimuru: Well I got buisness to attend to
Kaijuno:.. can you be more specific? especially since you're supposed to be in a jail cell
Rimuru: My plan is to retrieve the princess from her chambers in a disguise to preform an analysis on what's her condition and reveal what is going on
Kaijuno: first off when you put it like that, you sound like a perverted creep
Rimuru: Hey!
Kaijuno: secondly, what's the point of the disguise?
Rimuru: what do you mean?
Kaijuno: you said the princess holds a unique skill that can see that shape of people's souls which was how she recognize you in your slime form. so she's likely gonna tattle to her brothers anyways
Rimuru: Well that would be ironic then
Kaijuno: *sigh* how about you just have me do it instead, we hold the same power so we can keep our covers that way
Rimuru: didn't you just say this plan sounds creepy?
Kaijuno: Got a non creepy plan? I'm all ears
Rimuru: Alright, alright. I guess it would be best if one the guards checked up on me during that time
Kaijuno:( thank goodness it's the weekend)
*The next night*
Kaijuno's Pov
I stood at the top of the castle's many towers, overlooking and biding my time till Rimuru gives me the signal to go. I of course had to go in as a disguise but I took a bit to figure out what I'll look like. I considered copying Rimuru's tactic of using my previous look and identity but..... I just decided not to, THAT'S ALL. I decided to just make a one-off character for this event of one-off characters. I removed my beastmen appearance and made myself taller and more pale thanks to works of Photoshop. As for my clothing, I went with a more mysterious designs with a cloak that includes a hoodie to cover most of my head and body. I just had a long sleeve shirt, a pair of sweat pants, and a comfortable pair of shoes. I also gotten a different mask to cover my face since I'm quite recognizable with my main mask. Overall, I wore mostly black with a little bit of white and strokes of gold. Not an impressive design but I'll make the most I can with the leftover clothes designed by Lavandra and Cameilla.
I gave off serious villain vibes with my looks, but with what I was gonna do, I was more like a vigilante. I just spent my waiting time listening to OxT's "Greyscale Dominator" till Rimuru finally gave me the signal
Rimuru: (Alright, Now!)
Kaijuno:( got it)
I used shadow movement to sneak through the palace till I reached the princess's chambers. Not wanting to waste time, I immediately wrapped the cleaners in my bloody threads
Cleaner #1: W-what!
Cleaner #2: What is this!?
Kaijuno: Mwahahaha! I am the terror that flaps in the night, I am the one who eats their cereal with no milk, I am..... uuuuuuh, vi-vi-Vigance! oooooooof.... Mystic Garden!
Cleaner #2: Vivivigance?
Kaijuno: just Vigance!
Cleaner #1: Well what are you doing here? This is the princess's chambers!
Kaijuno: tsk tsk it's quite simple really
*picks up the princess*
Kaijuno: to steal the princess!
Cleaner #2: What!
Kaijuno: Farwell!
Cleaner #1: WAIT!
Kaijuno: NO! I shall not wait, Mwahahaha!
Giving no consideration to the cleaners, I flew out carrying the princess like a bag.
Kaijuno:(well that was embarassing. Wise Sage perform an appraisal on this princess)
Wise Sage:[appraisal processing]
Zenobia:(who are you?)
Kaijuno:(uuuuuuuh, like I said, I'm Vigance of Mystic Garden)
Zenobia:(what do you intend to do to me)
Kaijuno:(I intend on having you clear out this drama llama of a situation between your siblings before they kill eachother. Also you're quite calm for someone who was unconsciously kidnapped)
Zenobia:(Well it's a first for me, but I can't exactly tell anything from reading your soul, you don't plan to do anything to keep are you?)
Kaijuno: (Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I know I basically just kidnapped you and all, but I'm someone who believes in consent, thank you very much)
After some high hops over the city, we finally arrived at the street brawl between the kijins and the prince's forces
Kaijuno: Heyo!
Aslan: What are you doing with my sister!?
Wise Sage:[Notice: Appraisal of individual Zenobia is completed. Data of Unique Skill Wisher will be integrated into Wise Sage's analysis. The condition of individual Zenobia is called demon's curse which can be removed with Unique Skill Monster Muncher]
I proceeded to have Monster Muncher nibble on Zenobia's head since I can't do the vortex swirls on Gluttony
Zenobia: *cough* *cough* to think you were able to wake me up so quickly, you truly are such a sweetheart Vigance of Mystic Garden
Benjamin: Mystic Garden?
Aslan: Oi! You better explain what's going on!
Kaijuno: Well that's what she's here for
Zenobia: Aslan, Souther isn't an evil vampire like you thought he is, he's just as concerned about me as you
Aslan: what!?
Zenobia: believe me, this a part of Gustav's scheme
Souther: is that true?
Aslan: Brother?
Souther: So this really was because of Gustav's trickery
Aslan: wait hold on! Weren't you under Gustav's control!?
Souther: Don't take me for a fool. I was also concerned about my own sister's well being. Guessing by your reaction, you weren't trying to rebel in order to take the thrown
Aslan: Why would you think that?
Souther: I blindly trusted Carl's warning in regards to you. Although it seems like I should've just talked to you personally
Aslan: Carl!? My good friend.... FIND CARL! I must confront him immediately!
Carl: Hahahaha! You brothers truly are mere fools. You both were easily played in the palm of my hands
Aslan: Damn you!
Souther: I'll make you eat those words!
Souther thrown a punch straight to the face of Carl, only for the attack to be deemed useless as Carl's face was recovered from it's mushy form
Carl: hahaha! to think such weaklings thought they have a chance. Hey Gustav, I'm gonna be a bit rough with our test subjects. That won't get in the way of our plan l, would it?
Gustav: hmph, no matter. We'll be reaching the fruits of our labor anyways
Kaijuno: (taking your sweet time exiting that portal)
Zenobia: Ah!
Kaijuno: Oh!
Gustav: I shall leave these fleas to you Carl
Carl: with pleasure
Souther: Don't think I'll let you get away with this!
Gustav: Actually while I'm here, I would like to have that power back
Zenobia: Aaaaaah!
Carl: now time to burn in hell!
Aslan: Brother! I won't let you die!
Souther: Brother, NOOOoooo... Huh?
Aslan: huh?
Carl: HUH!?
Kaijuno: hehe, Mwahahaha! I'd say my Monster Muncher found that quite spicy
Carl: No matter. Take this!
Kaijuno:( Is that deathmarch dance?)
Kaijuno: Aaaaaand, munched again
Carl: Grrrrrr
Gustav: hmph, it won't matter. Carl! Finish these insects. Isolation Barrier!
Kaijuno: (woah woah! What the hell is this?)
Wise Sage:[Answer: Isolation Barrier is a containment that blocks interference from the outside realm. It can be destroyed by Unique Skill Monster Muncher]
Kaijuno:( okay but I'll leave it on since this is working out as it did in the OVA. Also active Humility's Follower's Resolve)
Wise Sage:[Activiting Unique Skill Humility]
Kaijuno: Let's do this!
Benjamin/Leonardo: Hai!
Carl: Do think you stand a chance against an archdemon!
Kaijuno: ( Dang! This guy is tough, guess that's an archdemon for ya. Wise Sage what does Danger Calculation sag about this fight?)
Wise Sage:[Answer: With the assistance of individual Benjamin and individual Leonardo, victory against the archdemon is approximately 72%]
Kaijuno:(Really? Guess it helps that we learned how to use magic aura)
It was a 3 against 1 although it wasn't too overwhelming in our advantage since archdemons are high ranking spiritual beings by default. Luckily Benjamin was able to get a big slash on Carl once Leonardo gotten a hold of him with sticky steal threads
Carl: GAAAAAH!
Kaijuno: A clean hit! Nice!
Benjamin: You're done for!
Kaijuno: BULLY HIM! BULLY HIM!
I managed to get some stabs on the archdemon's back while they were still fazed Benjamin's cut
Carl: AAAAaaaah
Kaijuno: (what is that sudden aura?)
Wise Sage:[Answer: Provided by master's knowledge of the source material, the individual Carl was absorbed by individual Gustav]
Kaijuno:( Ugh, and now they're a wrinkly old man. OH! Does this mean Violet and Luminous are gonna start fighting! Hell Yeah! Thank goodness I decided to do this, now I get a front row- I CAN'T SEE THROUGH THIS BARRIER! Oh wait I can just get rid of this Barrier with Monster Muncher)
Wise Sage:[Notice:Breaking the barrier to reveal individual Violet and individual Luminous could bring inconvenient consequences]
Kaijuno: (then did you even bother mentioning that I could break this?)
Wise Sage:[Answer: to fit the status quo]
Kaijuno:(damn it)
To play it safe, I let it play out as it did in canon. The barrier destroyed on it's own and Gustav was taken with Paulo taking the credit for it. While everbody went to check up on the princess, the three of us left quietly while no one was looking.
Overall, an alright trip. I even enjoyed the Vigance persona by the end of it. Although I was still kinda salty to miss an early look at Violet and Luminous

Souther: Have you heard the news?
Zenobia: No? What has happened?
Souther: Apparently a new demon lord has emerged in the east
Aslan: The east? Wait, please don't tell they're from the eastern empire
Souther: Thankfully no, but you were close. They're apparently from Tempest
Aslan: Tempest? Isn't that the nation that Rimuru is from?
Zenobia: Ara, If rimuru is from a demon lord nation, than maybe my chance of marriage with him might have dwindled
Aslan: So who is the demon lord?
Souther: Not much word about them is known yet, but word has spread vastly of their title
Aslun: Title? Well what is it?
Souther: Apparently the title of the new demon lord is....
