Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (LN)

Milim and Honey

Milim Nava was a demon lord.

In her long and tenacious life, she was never defeated. To alleviate some of the boredom in her life she visited a town and encountered a monster. Even though it had overwhelming magic power and magical ability, it posed no challenge in Milims eyes.

After greeting each other, Milim decided to observe its attitude. What followed, was a one on one situation against that monster, Rimuru. She wins if she can sustain the opponents attack, the matchs rules were that simple.

No matter what kind of attack, even a sneak attack, none of it will work on me!

Milim was filled with confidence, her excitement only growing by the second at the thought of what unexpected thing may happen.

Well then, what type of attack would he use to cheer me up?

Rimuru in human form charged towards Milim without hesitation. Milim was absolutely thrilled.

Then, Eat This!

Hmm!?

He had thrown a water ball. Oddly enough, there wasnt any sort of power put into it.

Could it be poison? Now that would be a boring trick

Milim has complete resistance against poison. To think this monster called Rimuru had decided to use this type of trick, he clearly wasnt as interesting as she had expected. Milims disappointment was immeasurable and she was left feeling rather lonely.

Ive lost my interest, Ill just beat up this guy. Ill be sure to make Karion regret this

As these thoughts passed through her head, she licked the goo left behind by the ball, which had harmlessly splattered on her mouth. In that moment, a shock jolted through her body.

What is this!? This is so delicious!!

What leaked from that water ball overwhelmed her with a sensation of sweetness she had never experienced before, to the extent of numbing her body.

Kukuku, what will you do now Demon Lord Milim? If you do anything to me now, the truth about the water ball will be lost forever

Rimurus voice reached her ears, but Milims mind was busy elsewhere. She analysed this delightful sweetness and already figured out what it was. Containing numerous nutrients and likely distilled from nectar its got to be honey. With Milims skill Milim Eye (Dragon Eye), analysing the components was a piece of cake.

The difficulty in refining the honey to this level is what made it special. It definitely wasnt any ordinary honey, there were some miraculous components within in.

This isnectar? But how is it made to be so tasty and sweet?

This sensation on the tip of her tongue, the sweetness was top notch. Honey like this is capable of restoring any abnormal status, and even healing incurable diseases within an instant.

This among other things exemplified the extremely high nutritional value of the honey. From what she could imagine, Rimuru most likely employed a highly capable monster for refining and collecting nectar from the blossoms of rare flowers. But she had no idea what monster would spend that much time and care on producing honey

In other words, it was a first for Milim, who lived unimaginably long, to experience such deliciousness. As a result, the final verdict of this confrontation evened out to a draw.

Anything other than victory was rare in Milims long-lasting life. However, she regrets nothing there. On the contrary, she now felt an unprecedented sense of excitement.

Well, then from today forward we are friends.

Rimurus words kept echoing in her head.

Wha-HAHAHA, her facial expression distorted, unable to hold down this irrepressible laughter.

Friends huh, thats a really nice reply!

To Milim who is considered the strongest, it was rare enough for an equal to exist. Most of the people felt nothing but fear towards Milim, and so the notion of making friends never occurred to her. But this monster named Rimuru seemingly couldnt care less and announced it so frankly. Milim was truly happy about that.

And so Milim got a friend and said farewell to the boring days.

***

Many different dishes are produced where Rimuru resides. Every day she gets treated. The Worshippers of Milim are simple people, their cuisine emphasises the natural taste of ingredients and focuses on raw dishes. Thus, Tempests elegant dishes with elaborate recipes are all new to Milim.

In truth, Milim once thought that eating was completely unnecessary, which turned out to be a huge mistake.

Tempura, burgers, steak and croquettes, as well as ebi fry. Here, there truly is a diverse cuisine. Its so good that it makes Milim regret not having given more thought to what she ate earlier.

The meals here are truly all delicious!

I know that already, so please stop eating sweets while having meals.

Why?

Thats basic manners. If you dont pay attention to the foods taste while eating it, wouldnt that be disrespectful towards the chefs?

Alright I got it. Hang on, what are you eating there?

Milim stared at the white, fragrant dish that Rimuru was eating.

This is dessert, some freshly made pancakes!

WHAT! So dessert is different from sweets?

Totally different, its fine because it helps to refresh the taste buds after a meal.

Ohhhh! Milim shouted then finished dining. She finished pretty early, but that was because she picked out all of the tasty food, leaving behind only bitter vegetables.

Uwah, they are still quite bitter.

Dont just leave the vegetables, you have to eat it with the food. Thats what happens when you leave out the things you dislike.

That doesnt matter, please give me some of those pancakes!

Alright I get it. We can add some syrup to make it taste better, which one would you like?

In front of her were different jams and honey. Milim grabbed one of the bottles without hesitation.

You sure like honey.

WHAHAHA! That is most certain!

The pancake covered in honey didnt betray Milims expectation, it was as delicious as she imagined. Milim thought to herself as she ate the last piece.

Although the sour and sweet jams taste nice too, theres no doubt honey is better Its number one!

Of course it is.

Because to Milim that honey is the taste of happiness. And with that, another day begins, another happy day.
