"I'm so sorry I couldn't avenge you, Elith." Your body was placed next to the girl as rest yourself next to her. "I really wanted to kill Mjurran for you, but... Rimuru... Gosh." You stared up at the sky. "Who knew he would betrayed me like that?" You moved your eyes back to the dead woman next to you. "Please say something, Elith."

Laying next to a dead body, do you not see how crazy you look?

"Y/N.." Zeldin wasn't too sure if he should interrupt your mourning session. "Um.. Lord Rimuru wanted me to-"

"Just leave me alone, Zeldin. I'm busy."

"Look... Y/N.." Zeldin walked up to and crouched next to your body. "You have to accept that she's dead. She's.. She's not coming back.."

"She is.."

"No she's not."

"Yes. She is." You rose up from your position and stare at Zeldin with an enraged look.

"No! She isn't!" Zeldin finally shouted. "I get it, Y/N. I miss her too. But what's the point in wasting tears on someone who's not going to come back." The brown head began sniffling as tears started to slowly fall from his eyes. "I want to kill them too. I want to kill the people who caused Elith's death.. But.. Is that something Elith would want?"

"I'm sure she wouldn't care." You stood up. Yours eyes locked away from his as you began walking away from the group of dead bodies. "You said Rimuru was looking for me? Right. I forgot about the meeting he wanted to hold."

Sadness was filled in Zeldin eyes as he soon realized that your cheery tone had dispersed into an angry one.

"And Elith, as well as everyone else, will be brought back to life. Rimuru said so himself." You look back at your friend. "Now let's go." Chills were send down the brunet's body at your new attitude.

"R-Right, M'lady."

"I'm sure you've all been informed by Rigurd beforehand, but now we need to discuss how we're going to deal with these humans, as well as resurrect those who're dead."

Seemed like the meeting had already started. You glued yourself near the door as Zeldin speed-walked to his seat near the table. "Sorry.." He apologized.

"Y/N, I'm glad you can make it here on time." You only hummed at his statement. Looked like Rimuru was pretending that whatever happened earlier never happened.

"Alright then, with those two agendas in mind, there's one more thing I need to tell you." Everyone sat patiently with churned stomachs as they waited for what Rimuru had to say. "I will become a demon lord." The slime started. "Y/N, too, will also become a demon lord as well. And with that in mind, let us begin."

fter the sudden explanation of Rimuru being a human in his past life, everything started to click.

Never in your life would you thought that your slime of a husband would've been a human in his past life. Ha. That explains it.

You remembered very well that a villager spoke about listening to Rimuru's request about not killing humans.

Was that the reason why Elith died? The kids died? Shion died? Was it because they were killed by humans? It was because they listened to Rimuru.

"Although you were the ones hurt by my rules, that was never my intention." The slime continued to speak. "Although I'm a monster I've always believed that my heart was of a human. So with my mindset, I ended up spending a long time within a human city." You listened silently to your husband with your arms folded. "All of this is my fault."

Everyone sat quietly as they took in everything their master had to say.

You released a loud sigh and exited out of the room. If you were to stay in there any longer, who knew what would've happen to the people in there.
