The sun finally rose, and the chaos that happened last night was finally put to rest, but the memories of those moments can't be easily forgotten, as if it were a healed wound where the scars still remained.

Rimuru's pov

We're currently heading towards the Chungmuro station. To be precise, it was me, Kim Dokja, Yoo Sangah, Lee Hyunsung, Lee Gilyoung and Jung Heewon.

The other survivors from last night already left, while others stayed at Geumho station.

As we were on our way, we encountered monsters, the ground rats. These monsters keep appearing, and the others are now exhausted killing them.

Due to that, I'm the one who's leading them, or more like in the front line. I can't complain though, as a matter of fact, I'm actually happy to show of my skills!..

{...}

'come on Great Sage, isn't it good to feel this for a while?. The others seemed to admire me for being in the front lines, and Ive gained profit from the Constellations just by doing this!.. isn't it killing two birds in one stone?.'

As I was having those thoughts, two ground rats suddenly charged at me, but I was able to react fast, with one swing from my newly hand-made sword that I learned crafting from Kim Dokja, I was able to severe their heads.

'oh.. it isn't a bird, but killing two rats with one swing.. well.. what's the difference?.. anyways, I shouldve gained that guy's trust now right?..'

{Negative. Others might see you as a hero sacrificing his life on the front line full of monsters, but your actions only make him wary of you, seeing how strong you are, and how you were able to last this long without breaking a sweat.}, The Great Sage replied.

'thats pretty understandable..'

While I was having those thoughts, I was facing Kim Dokja's direction.

"Umm..., Is there something on my face?.." Kim Dokja asked.

Hearing Kim Dokja's question, I snapped back from those thoughts and quickly averted my face from his direction.

"Sorry..., I zoned out again..." I reasoned with a girly shy voice to make it look more charming, this is my way of getting out of troubles.

'Seeing this would make his heart flutter right?.'..

But seeing his reaction, that flat face he's making right now..., it's making me embarrassed by my own actions.

{The individual 'Kim Dokja' knows you are a male...} The Great Sage flatly remarked.

'Well.., that's more embarrassing.., this guy won't fall for my charm, he knows I'm a trap...'

I covered my face using my left hand due to embarrassment, even though I'm wearing a mask.

The other's could only stare at me with confusion, especially that Kim Dokja guy...

After a few minutes, we finally arrived in the new station, I looked at the walls and saw a sign saying 'Dongsuk University'.

"Let's rest here for a moment." Kim Dokja said.

So we rested their for a few minutes, the two women went to the bathroom and Jung Heewon asked me if want to come but I refused, then Hyunsung and Gilyoung went next, except for Kim Dokja who said he's going to the surface for pilgrimage.

I was sitting on the floor with a few items we found, I waited for them to come back, but my curiosity made me stood up and go follow Kim Dokja.

[You have been exposed to a poisonous fog.]

[The exclusive skill 'Poison Resistance lvl.2' has been activated.]

'So it went to level 2.., but I couldn't care less, I have to find that guy.'

[The exclusive skill 'Magic Sense lvl.4' has been activated.]

By activating this skill, I finnaly found that guy, but what is he doing?.., is he destroying a statue?.., I immediately turned off Magic sense.

By the time I arrived, the statue was finally broken to pieces, which made me wonder what his motives are.

Suddenly, Kim Dokja turned around and looked at me with a surprised face, now ..., He couldn't sense me earlier.., so how did he notice me?

Well it doesn't matter, what matters is what's going to happen next.

"Rimuru-ah.., why did you follow me up here?.."

Kim Dokja asked, I could see a sweat going down, I couldn't tell if it was due to excessive running or due to nervousness.

So I answered

"I was worried.."

but it was a lie, I can't get worried over this guy.., there was no use worrying for him..., well for now, but who knows?, This guy might give me a heart attack in the future.

"It's not just about worrying that you came here right?.." Kim Dokja asked with a serious face.

"You're sharp.., so I guess I should go straight to the point then.." I answered.

I was supposed to look for him due to curiosity of what he might do, but the situation turned out like this.

[A few constellations are paying attention to your words.]

But before I could say something, the windows appeared, this made me taken aback.

This constellation thingy..., It's been sending me messages everyday.., the most constellations who were with me during the first scenario, are 'Lord Of Catastrophic Storms', 'Tyrant Of Destruction', 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' and 'Secretive Plotter'

But those two seemed quite this days.., leaving the 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' and 'Secretive Plotter' remaining.

The constellations are eavesdropping, it would really be bad to let them know my secret. So I decided to change the topic of my questions.

But before I could speak, he activated his skill.

[The exclusive skill 'Character list' has been activated.]

So I activated mine too...

[The exclusive skill 'Analytical Appraise' has been activated.]

But before I could get to see his attribute window, something blocked me from using the skill.

[The exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' has been activated.]

{Error.., cannot collect data..}

'Even Great Sage can't get past through his skill...'

So I decided to use mine.

[The exclusive skill 'Sages Mind' has neutralized the skill 'Character list'.]

Seeing Kim Dokja's expression, he must be really surprised by my skill. Well, it's a give and take, but if you don't give, you can't take.

'I'm kind of proud of my self, but does this skill really belong to me?, It sounds more like Great Sage's skill.., I think it's too good for me, especially Great Sage..'

{Negative. I only exist for master.}

Awww..., I'm kinda touched by this statement, it actually felt good to have someone exist for you.

"How?.., just who are you?.." Kim Dokja asked me with suspicion.

'Me?, I'm just a friendly slime!...'

Like h*ll I would say that!, I'm a human now so saying it would make me a clown, and if things get worst, the constellations or dokkaebi might do something on me.

"I'm ... Rimuru" I answered

"I know" Kim Dokja remarked flatly, "the thing Im asking you is..." He tried to ask something but he stopped and sighed.

"Nevermind.., why don't we talk somewhere else.." he said

"I insist" I replied

There's nothing to lose right?, Seeing the items he's holding, its a gain.

.

.

.

.

So we're here now.., sitting and eating. The silence made me uncomfortable, so I started a conversation.

"Hey.., so.., where did you get those items?" I asked, staring at the items beside him

"From the statue.." he answered while looking at me.

"since I answered your question, why don't you answer mine?"

'Is this a Q and A?...'

"Okay." I answered shortly

"How did you get so strong?" It was he's turn to ask, so I answered.

"Coins"

Honestly, he's question is simple, so It was my turn to ask him, the constellations are quiet, the channel must've been closed, so it was an opportunity for me that cannot be slipped.

"Kim Dokja..."

" do you know something in the future?"
