After the meeting, the Kijin were about to leave before someone caught up to them...

Benimaru: Can I help you?

Son: ...Even if it is survival of the fittest, Hate is not an emotion that can be forgotten so easily. For what we did and how we destroyed you're village... I can not even begin to tell just how sorry I am and I know that the request I'm about to make is a selfish one. But please, I ask that you take my head as penance and have mercy on my people!

The Kijin stood in place as they observed the shivering Orc.

Benimaru: ...When the battle was over, we told Lord Rimuru and Prince Jasper that we wanted to continue serving them. So they gave us official titles...

Shion: I am a Samurai, that means I'm both the Lords personal bodyguard as well as their secretary!

Benimaru: Hakuro is an instructor, Souei is a spy. The last two; Shuna and Kurobe also have official titles as Holy Princess and Swordsmith, and I have the title of Samurai-General... I'm in charge military affairs. Now that I hold such a crucial position, It would be wrong of me to rob us of such a capable warrior. I will show no mercy to anyone that would harm our Lords, but if you join the Alliance then you and I are not enemies.

Son: I will never wrong either of them sir! They are responsible for saving my people, I only wish to serve them and will never harbor any ill will!

Benimaru: Then that means we are fellow servants under both Lord Rimuru and Prince Jasper, do you're very best to serve our masters and we'll consider that you're apology.

Son: ...I swear on my father King Gerudo's name.

After the Kijin walked away, from behind the son stood Jasper looking at him with a smile.

Jasper: After what was exchange between you and the Kijin and the selfless act you tried to do, I believe everything will be fine for you're people.

Son: Thank you, my Prince!

Jasper: ...Geld.

Son: What my Prince?

Jasper: Do you like it? It's a different version of you're father's name so I thought I would give it to you.

The Orc looked completely stunned, before suddenly kneeling to Jasper.

Son: ...Yes, my Prince; I love it!

Jasper: Then from this day onward and in hopes of that you will inherit wishes of you're late father and former king, you will be officially known to the world as Geld!

With that, Geld was enveloped by Jasper's magicules and evolved from an Orc to a High Orc.

Jasper: I will entrust you to lead you're people well into a brighter future.

Geld: I will, my Prince!

Unfortunately, I was then stuck with naming 120,000 Orcs. I manage to force Rimuru into helping. But, that ended with falling unconscious for another three days. We also gave the Lizardmen chieftain the name Abil.

Meanwhile

Laplace: after all the trouble you went through to set that up, it must you bonkers that a new Demon Lord wasn't born.

Clayman: Perhaps a little... still though, it was an amazing spectacle and that Slime what shall I do with it...

Laplace: Sounds like you've got plans to make, well should you ever need a hand I'll lend you one for cheap, Demon Lord Clayman.

With that Laplace disappeared to another area.

Laplace's mind: Still though, that thing Footman said earlier while spying on the battle... has the founder finally returned to us!

3 months

Long after the downfall of the Orc Lord, all the Orcs who had evolved into High Orcs were currently thriving under the expert tutelage of Kaijin and the Dwarves and were now valuable members of the community.

We now had everything needed for a town Homes, Clothes, Tools, and best of all... AN ACTUAL FREAKING AQUADUCT WITH FLUSHING TOILETS AND EVEN SEWAGE SYSTEMS. We even started building roads that will be very useful for future commoners.

Souei: Prince Jasper, Lord Rimuru there's an emergency.

Jasper: I sense, a familiar presence nearby...

As it turns out it was a large group of armed Pegasus knights, and the familiar presence was actually Gazel Dwargo who was leading them.

Flashback

Gazel has just got done reading the report about the Orc Disaster. He then sighed in annoyance before burning the letter.

Dorf: My king, what did the letter say?

Gazel: It seems the war has ended, the Orc Lord has been defeated. The remaining 120,000 surrendered their arms and have now scattered, what's more is that they've all evolved into High Orcs... 

The message also reported that several powerful Majin also participated in the battle, and it might be presumptuous of me, but I assume their under the control of that Slime... a Slime capable of causing Monsters to evolved and rule over Majin. That's not even considering the whole Jack of Anarchy crisis going on at the moment... If this matter isn't handled with care the nation may very well fall.

Gazel: I will go visit these rulers, if nothing else I would like to appraise their worth my self!

End of Flashback

Several people including me, Rimuru, Ranga, four of the Kijin, Rigurd and Rigur, and Kaijin all quickly ran to the entrance of the village.

Benimaru: Well my lords, what shall we do?

Rimuru: I'd like to avoid a fight if possible...

Shion: No worries my lord, would you like for me to destroy them?

Jasper: Pretty sure that's the exact opposite of what he wants...

Rimuru: If there's trouble, we want you all to evacuate the town... Jasper if trouble happens do you think you can take them all?

Jasper: It's a simple task, the only one who will be a challenge is Gazel... but I doubt he's here to start trouble.

Soon, all the knights landed and Kaijin went on ahead to kneel down and greet Gazel.

Kaijin: It's good to see you, you're majesty!

Gazel: ...Have you been doing well, Kaijin?

Kaijin: Yes, I have.

He then fully turned his attention to us, though before that; I notice his eyes would occasional glance in my direction specifically. 

Rimuru: Allow me to make introductions, I'm Rimuru Tempest and this is my brother Jasper Tempest. While, I am a Slime I'd prefer it if you didn't call me that. Because, I'm also the Chancellor of the Jura forests Alliance.

He then entered his human form to better talk with the king, who said he was here to judge our worth.

Gazel: I'll judge you, using nothing but the steel of my blade.

The second he said that, Jasper appeared in front of Rimuru with his hand already on his blade's handle.

Jasper: ...Is that so?

Dorf: Please sir, don't do this!

Gazel: Heh, would a fight no be the best way to settle this dispute?

Oh, I see what he's doing now...

Jasper: I get it, still it'd make for sense for me the older brother and Guardian of the forests of Jura to take you on first, doesn't it?

Gazel eyes briefly widened, before a small smile appeared and he nodded in understanding.

Jasper: As the Hero king, I'm also assuming you have that title for another reason other than being a good king, right?

Gazel: Correct, in addition to being a king I am also a master swordsman.

Then a gust wind blew past us, and appeared next to us was Treyni.

Treyni: Very well, then I shall serve as witness to this contest between Master Jasper and Gazel Dwargo.

The Dwargon knights seemed taken back by not only the appearance of a Dryad, but also to the way she addressed me.

Gazel: I suppose I should apologize for accusing you of boasting, I think I have a better understanding of the matter now...

Jasper: But, you still need to evaluate our nature through this fight, right?

Gazel: Indeed, now that we have a witness for our battle. You and I are ready to cross swords.

Our battle then commenced, Gazel decided to strike at me first with a powerful slash that I easily dodge but delivering a powerful kick to push him back, I then attempted to strike him with a fist. But, he manage to grab hold of me and toss me over his back. He then attempted to strike me with his blade which I quickly blocked with my own creating a massive wave of force that shook the area. Gazel immediately backed off when he noticed his blade was starting to crack. Luckily, it didn't break thanks to me using the blunt side to block.

Jasper: From what I see, you're blade is only a unique Grade that has the potential of becoming a legendary Grade. But, it won't really last that long against a Mythical grade.

They were all stunned by my words, before I let then have a good look at my Katana.

Gazel: I see, then I guess after seeing you're skill and given that my weapon definitely can't survive another hit from that blade. I will concede.

Treyni: The winner is master Jasper!

After a bit of repairing, he then fought against Rimuru. The fight was a bit more even out with Gazel having a slight advantage in power and experience. But, the fight ended when Gazel used the skill {Haze of the rumbling heavens and earth}, which is a similar move that Hakuro uses during training. So Rimuru was able to block it earning him the victory.

Gazel: I am amazed that you saw through my attack, you're an excellent fighter Rimuru.

Rimuru: It was more luck if anything, turns out my master uses that move a lot during training sessions.

Gazel: Hold on, who is you're master?

His eyes then widened when he saw Hakuro.

Gazel: Y-you're the savant!

Hakuro: Well now, you no longer look like that little boy I found lost in the forests you're much bigger now. Oh, do forgive me King Gazel though I have to admit I'm overjoyed to see that you've surpassed my own skill with a sword.

Gazel: It's an honor to receive such a huge compliment.

Huh, so I guess Hakuro was his mentor too which would make him Rimuru's senior.

Later that Night

After a while of everyone getting settled in, we began our discussion about why they were here.

Rimuru: I see, so this was about the Orc Lord and who was behind his downfall.

Gazel: Yes, and to see whether they were friend or foe... Jasper, Rimuru may I ask you both something?

Rimuru: Sure.

Gazel: Would you both be interested in entering a treaty with me?

Both: Huh?

Gazel: If you were to gain control of everything in this forests and the surrounding areas, it's possible that you would both obtain wealth and power surpassing my own nation. That's why it would be important for you to have the backing of another nation.

Jasper: But, that would mean acknowledging our Nation of Monster which is a pretty serious thing...

Gazel: I do and I accept it, this deal with benefit both our parties. In this event we all stand to profit.

Rimuru: Not like we could really refuse... Alright, it's a deal!

Gazel: Alright, now all that's needed is to pick a name for you're nation.

Jasper: How about the Jura Tempest Federation. Jura because it's in the Jura forests, Tempest because we're the founders and Federation because it's basically different groups coming together with a central government.

Gazel: I see, that's an excellent name and reasoning.

Rigurd: Hold on, if this is the Jura Tempest Federation then we have to name our town after our lords!

Both: What!?

Shuna: But, there are two of them...

Gobta: We could try mixing there names together?

They all tried doing that, but nothing they said sounded right. They tried names like "Jasmuru" or "Rimper", but they weren't exactly catchy or even decent.

Jasper: How about you all just let the leaders decide the name...?

They agreed and after a bit of time, me and Rimuru decided with use the word Amazon.

Rigurd: That's a fine name, it'll be the nations capital!

Shion: A fantastic idea, no other name will do!

Benimaru: I agree, no one here can possible object to that name.

Gazel: Then it's settled.

On that night, was formed the nation of Tempest and it's capital Amazon along with the treaty with Dwargon.

The next morning, Gazel and his knights left... and then came back literally 2 days later.

Gazel: Jasper, Rimuru I have returned!

Rimuru: Obviously, but why?

Gazel: To bring you a gift of course!

Jasper: ...Is it that body bag over there?

At this, his soldiers tossed it over and it opened to reveal a foaming and unconscious Vesta.

Jasper: You brought us a man you kidnapped...?

Gazel: We didn't kidnap him.

Jasper: The way this looks screams otherwise...

Gazel: You see; per our agreement Jasper, he hasn't been allowed to work under me after the trial. It would be useless not have his talent be put to work, so give him a job.

Kaijin: But my King! You should think about the needs of Dwargon, the people will surely suffer without his knowledge.

Gazel: Bold words from someone who left Dwargon behind himself.

Jasper: Bold words from the man who exiled him despite knowing that the incident he got blamed for wasn't his fault.

Gazel: ...That's fair. But, our nations are now allies so sharing resources is what we do and this is a chance to develop you're country further. Vesta I want you to study and devote yourself to here.

Vesta: I will, and this time I will live up to you're expectations my king. Lord Rimuru, Lord Jasper, Kaijin. I'm am truly sorry for all I have done, and if would allow it then it will be my honor to work here and serve you.

Kaijin: Well... it would be useful to have another pair of hands, listen Jasper and Rimuru I'll take responsibly and supervise him if anything happens. So please, say yes...

Vesta: K-Kaijin, thank you!

Jasper: We may not trust Vesta, but we do believe in Kaijin so I guess we'll agree.

Rimuru: Vesta, you're hired!

After that, Gazel and his knights left. We then turned to our unexpected visitors...

Rimuru: So why are you here?

Gabiru: Haha, I the illustrious Gabiru hoping I might be able to assist you!

Jasper: Shion...

Shion: I'll take care of it.

Gabiru: WAIT JUST HERE ME OUT!! Okay, the real reason we're here is because we wanna join you're ranks. I my honor I swear will be of use to you so please!

Captain: My brother knows he was wrong, all he wants to do is repay his debt.

The Lizardmen captain showed up with four other Lizardmen troops.

Rimuru: Aren't you the captain of the guard?

Jasper: Oh, It's nice seeing you again!

I smiled and noticed the captain giving a small blush at my greeting before she bowed her head respectfully.

Captain: I-It's nice to see you as well, Prince Jasper...

They all then knelt down to us.

Captain: Unlike my brother I haven't been disowned.

Gabiru: HEY!!!

Captain: Instead, my father Abil sent me here to gain more experience.

Gabiru: Wait, so you didn't come because you missed me!?

Captain: Ew, no.

Gabiru: GAH!!

Jasper: Ouch.

Captain: No disrespect brother, but Prince Jasper is...

Gabiru: You've always been sort of a brat you know that!

Jasper: Well, since you're all subordinates now it only makes sense to give you all names.

Captain: M-My prince, Are you sure?

Jasper: Definitely, so starting with you and then you're team. From to right to left will be "Souka", "Toka", "Saika", "Nansou", and Hokuso".

Souka: Thank you for this honor.

Gabiru then looked at us expectantly.

Jasper: Don't give us those puppy dog eyes. 

Rimuru: Don't act jealous, you already have a perfectly good name it's "Gabiru".

Suddenly, Gabiru started to glow.

Jasper: Oh I forgot, you can overwrite names.

Gabiru: Thank you so much Lord Rimuru, I will follow you for as long as I live!

After all that, we then began to name the rest of the Lizardmen that wanted to get a name and join us.

Souei: So they want to join us, then I may I use them how I wish?

Jasper: Sure, I'm trusting you to train them Souei.

Souei: As you command, Prince Jasper.

I then started to walk off, when...

Souka: Wait, M-my Prince...!

Jasper: What's up?

Souka knelt down to me while blushing a little.

Souka: I know this may sound selfish, especially after you were generous enough to name us all, but would it be possible if I could serve directly under you...?

Jasper: Directly?

Souka: Yes...?

The others gave Souka a knowing smirk.

Toka: I wonder why the captain wished to serve directly under, Prince Jasper?

Nanso: It's truly a mystery...

Souka glared at them in annoyance.

Jasper: I don't see why not!

Souka: T-Truly!?

Jasper: Yeah, though I would still like it if you trained under Souei for a bit. Is that alright Souei?

Souei: Yes, these 4 will be enough and I can train her privately when the opportunity happens.

Both Jasper and Souka walked, while Jasper was glancing at her new Human appearance.

Souka: Is something wrong, Prince Jasper?

Jasper: O-Oh, it's nothing...

Jasper's mind: Why is new look so ridiculously cute!?

Souka: Now that I'm serving under you, what will be my role?

Jasper: You'll act as one of my bodyguards, and a personal spy hence why you're still training with Souei. I'll also train you how to fight in more direct situations, you'll also be my second secretary.

Jasper's Mind: God knows I need a capable one...

Souka: Then I will work my hardest!

As for Gabiru's men, we had them all cultivate the valuable Hipokute Herbs that grew in Veldora's cave and due to it's dampness it was actually a good place for them.

Rimuru: How's the cultivation going?

Gabiru: I'm so glad you asked, behold the fruits of my labor!

It was... a weed. That should be impossible in a place full of magicules...

Rimuru: That's just a weed!

Gabiru: I'm sorry! In my haste to produce results, it seems I've only failed you.

As for Vesta, we set up a little work station for him and he was currently working the Hipokute Herbs. If we could somehow produce potions as effective as the ones Rimuru can make or even nearly as effective as my {Lord of Health, Jophiel} then it could really give us both a military and economical advantage.

<<Timeskip>>

Rimuru was sunbathing at the window, while I was relaxing on a couch. Rimuru then jumped onto the desk and pulled out book that we got from the recently made paper.

Jasper: Watch ya up to?

Rimuru: I thought, that sense we got some paper that we could record our experiences.

Jasper: ..Well, it would give us something do when we're not doing anything. So why not!

Me and Rimuru were thinking how we should start if off... then we realized that everything that had happened intel this point was too much to immediately put into words.

Later, Shuna walked in to do some cleaning and Souka walked in with some documents. They both noticed the journal and Shuna picked it up.

Shuna: Prince Jasper, Lord Rimuru, these pages are all blank...

Rimuru: We decide to it later.

Jasper: Plus, It'll run along.

Later

Unfortunately, while getting the entire Forests into a singular group was a good thing. It also brought some... issues.

Rigurd: I WILL NEVER AGREE TO THIS!!

Shion: This is a secretary's jurisdiction, I refuse to compromise!

Rigurd: That's fine, the same goes for me!

Ririna: Both of you, calm down.

The arguing continued on with no one budging from their belief.

Kaijin: What a damn shame, we're not getting anywhere with this...

Benimaru: We need Lord Rimuru, and Prince Jasper's opinion on
