"Kim Dokja...."
"Do you know something in the future?"
Kim Dokja's pov
This guy was also suspicious of me. Seeing on how I handle the situations and scenario as if I knew it.
"And what if I do?" I answered.
"...."
Rimuru stayed quiet..., I don't know what kind of expression his making under that mask, but if I were to guess, then he's probably shocked.., no.., he was already suspicious of it..., feels like he's smiling...
"I have a proposal.., you can turn it down if you want, but it'd be great if you accept." Rimuru answered
'A proposal?, Is he going to reveal his intentions?. '
While I was having those thoughts, a sudden struck of realization came to my mind and started to think of the possibilities of what he might want from me.
He was suspicious of me because of my knowledge and how I handle the situations, now that he's suspicion is proven, he's probably going after me..
"Let's hear it." I said
If his terms are similar to the ones I had in mind, then it's a benefit for me, Ive got nothing to lose.
"Thank you.." Rimuru said with a grateful voice.
"You might take that back if I refuse.., I haven't agreed to it yet." I remarked.
It might seem cold, but i don't want to give him false hopes, especially when it comes from me, I just hope, he won't kill me if I refuse.
"Okay then.., I want you...., to help me go back to my Homeworld...."
'Homeworld?, What does it mean?'
"In exchange, I'll help you reach the end of the scenarios." Rimuru said
After realizing what he just said, my eyes went wide open, now, that explains why he was too strong, but.. it's unlikely to have someone like him in the early scenarios.
Did the bureau made a mistake?, Was there an error at the star stream?..., I started to think like a madman, trying to find the possibilities.
But still, it was a development that even I , the sole reader of ways of survival, didn't know. The only thing left for me to understand is to listen to Rimurus words.
.

.
.
After hearing rimuru's terms of condition, I agreed. After all, it wasn't that bad, except for the no coins condition.
He probably saw my intentions of rubbing his coins out, but he offered something important than the coins...
In the end, he didn't say anything about his world, the only thing he said was that he got killed and got reincarnated in here 5 years ago. My curiosity was killing me because of this development. I couldn't tell if I was excited or nervous of the incoming future.
I asked him about his attribute and he said that he was a 'Deviant', I didn't know what it was, but he said that it can make him stronger time to time.
Im still curious of what his skills are, but he didn't gave me information about it, because I couldn't reveal my attribute to him, he even said that it wasn't fair.
Now, the two of us went back to the station, I could see the others waiting for us .
"Dokja!, Rimuru!" Lee Hyunsung got surprised when we appeared on his back.
"So how was your pilgrimage?, Did Rimuru join you?, Did you both go to a cathedral? or a temple?" Jung Heewon asked with a weird smile.
"We didn't.., more importantly, I have something to give you." I handed them the items I obtained from destroying the statue of the great monk Samyeong.
I could feel rimuru's stare at me, he already knows that I got this from the statue right?
After giving the items to Jung Heewon and Yoo Sangah, we continued our travel towards the next station.
And finally..
[A new Sub Scenario has appeared.]
Another problem comes in.
"Stand back, everyone." I warned the others while looking forward.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Pov end.
"Illussory Prison?, What could it be?." Jung Heewon asked.
Then a gust of wind hit them, everyone braced themselves to not get blown by the strong wind, then a fog covered the entire area until everyone's vision went black out.
At that time, everyone was trapped in the Illussory Prison where their trauma was triggered, everyone was trembling, except for Rimuru, and Yoo Sangah.
After a couple of seconds, Kim Dokja broke out.
"Everyone, calm yourselves and take deep breaths." When Kim Dokja turned around, he saw them tremble while saying some things.
"Kim Dokja?" Yoo Sangah looked at his direction, with the beads on her wrist glowing gold.
"Sangah!" Kim Dokja came towards her, but surprisingly, he didn't saw Rimuru everywhere.
Kim Dokja felt worried that Rimuru might have driven insane by the Illussory prison, so he quickly destroyed the zone.
[The exclusive skill 'Destroy Evil lvl.1' dismantles 'Illussory Prison'.]
The fog that sorrounds the area slowly vanished, then they saw Lee Hyunsung and Lee Gilyoung on the ground, one was squatting while the other was cowering in fear.
Then Jung Heewon rushed towards Kim Dokja with her sword full of killing intent, Kim Dokja dodged the sword coming towards his face, then hand chopped Jung Heewon's back.
The woman fell down and Kim Dokja catched her, slowly laying her on the ground.
He then unsheathed his sword with a blue glow, facing the monsters who were responsible for the Illussory Prison.
But to his surprise, Rimuru was standing behind the monsters, with his mask off, a little demonic aura was released, Kim Dokja felt it and could only stare at the blue haired guy ripping the monsters to shreds.
After a few minutes, Rimuru was now picking up the specter stones from the monsters called specters, he wasn't wearing his mask now, since Great Sage was concealing his aura. The aura was still weak compared to his past life as a slime, so Great Sage doesn't have a trouble holding it in.
Kim Dokja approached him and said, "Are you going to keep them by yourself?"
"Do you want some?" Rimuru asked, he knows what Kim Dokja wants so he instantly gave it to him without receiving an answer.
"Are you sure you want me to have all of these?, After all you're the one who ripped them to shreds." Kim Dokja asked with a shudder, the memory of Rimuru ripping the monsters with a demonic aura scared him.
He even questioned himself.
'what would happen if that bastard fought with Rimuru?'
It was something he couldn't imagine, especially the outcome of their battle.
But another question came to his mind.
'What if that Yoo Junghyuk bastard tries to recruit Rimuru!?'
now that was something he wouldn't want to see.
While he was having those thoughts, he didn't notice that he was making a weird face in front of Rimuru, he even forgot that Rimuru was in front of him.
'is this guy trying to make me laugh with his face?'
Rimuru asked himself, then giggled.
'how cute..'.
"Are you okay?" Rimuru asked Kim Dokja with a smile
"Y-Yeah.. I'm fine.." Kim Dokja answered shyly.
'was I too obvious?, and why is he smiling?!..'
The other's woke up except Jung Heewon, Lee Hyunsung and Yoo Sangah were talking about Kim Dokja and Rimuru, while Lee Gilyoung listened to them, the other two were having their time, Rimuru was laughing at Kim Dokja's face while Kim Dokja was covering it with embarassment, finally realizing that he was making weird faces while having those thoughts a few seconds ago.
It was a nice atmosphere for the group, until a girl's voice interrupted them and caught their attention.
"Who are you people?" The girl wearing a hoodie asked them with a hostile stare and unsheathed sword.
"Having a good time huh..., Don't you know that these hunting ground belongs to us?"
'since when did she..'
Kim Dokja was surprised.
"Oh!.. she is!" Yoo Sangah recognized the girl.
She was the survivor of Taepung Girls Highschool, the one they watched at the train.
'Lee Jihye...'
The girl showed her face and the first thing that caught her attention was the specter stones that Kim Dokja was holding.
"Did you..., Arrive here after defeating the specters?, How?.., only master knows how to defeat them!" The girl said with a surprised reaction.
Kim Dokja didn't waste time and quickly activated his skill on Lee jihye.
While Kim Dokja was taking he's time assessing Lee jihye's character profile, rimuru was looking at him, so he also did the same, now both of them were checking Lee jihye's Profile.
"Follow me, I'll take you to the station."
They were now heading towards the next station.
The station where one of Kim Dokja's thoughts came to real.
