(3rd PoV)
Shizu has just returned from Veldora's cave.
Along the way, she encountered another 'I am not a bad slime'.
He was blue.
She asked him if he knew anything about Veldora's cave after explaining that she came to investigate Veldora's disappearance. He seemed thoughtful, and by his voice while telling her that he didn't know anything, it was clear that he was hiding something.
Both slimes are strange. It's the first time she has seen otherwolders who have reincarnated, much less as monsters of same species.
Blue slime, Rimuru, had named many monsters, goblins and direwolves. He even brought the famous blacksmith Kaijin of Dwargon to his village.
And, Red Slime-san has also named around a hundred Kijin, with Demon Lord Milim being at his side.
...She isn't doing something wrong by agreeing to serve him, right?
"Slime-san—"
"Shizu. My name is Apolloyon Nava. It's the name given to me by Milim! Milim, this is Shizu, my first underling."
"So you are Squishy's underling!? Woah! You are also a part slime!? Transform! Please please please!"
Ah. So Demon Lord Milim figured her out in an instant?
And given that Slime-san is now Apolloyon Nava, they are very close, right?
To not offend Milim, Shizu transformed into her slime form, and Milim started poking and squeezing her.
Ah geez!
But she can't really stop Milim...
So, she started her report.
"Apolloyon-san, bla bla bla..."

"—So, I think that Rimuru is hiding something he might know regarding Veldora's disappearance."
Oh ho...
"So you think he is behind it?"
"No. He isn't strong enough to do anything to Hero's seal. I think Veldora might have died. But, his cave was surprisingly lacking in magicules, or just anything. He might be behind that."
So somehow Rimuru has become a suspect huh?
Well, as long as Sarrion doesn't know that I am the one who devoured Eren. Atleast until I am stronger. Since she was the daughter of Sarrion's duke, I thought that I will get pretty good skills from her. But the only good thing I got was Invisibility Magic from one of her bodyguard.
Well, if anything happens, I can always drop real nukes. And Sarrion wouldn't really try anything against me due to my relationship with Milim.
I don't need to fear that elf kingdom.
"Thanks for the report, Shizu. You can start helping your fellow underlings to start kingdom-building, train the warriors and kids. You can move the kids here if you want after saving them.
Ah. Listen everyone! I am going to impose certain rules! Listen to it very clearly and abide by it!"
"""Yes!"""
"First, all species are equal! I don't want any discrimination or privilege to any species in my rule. Human, Lizardmen, Ogres, Kijins, Slimes, all have equal status!
Second, hostile Intelligent monsters can be gathered under my rule after defeating the leader. If they still refuse to submit, kill them all.
Third, for those hostile humans who don't have any possibility to submit, capture them. If you can't, kill them.
Fourth, don't hurt friendly people, be it humans or monsters. But don't let just anyone enter. Ask me for everyone.
Fifth, You guys all follow my words. I can override anything later or change things.
Is that understood!?"
"""Yes Apolloyon-sama!"""
I asked to capture the humans if possible so that I can kill them myself. You know, to awaken.
"Alright. So everyone, get to work. Milim, can you take me to Demon Lord Ramiris?"
"Wahahaha! Of course! It's no big deal!"
I turned back to Shizu.
"Shizu, help your fellow underlings to atleast build homes first. After the basic layout of the capital is done, you may go and get the people you want to save come here. I am going to bring the Spirits."
"T-thank you Apolloyon-san."
She seemed a bit emotional behind her mask.
When the time comes, I will go with her and Rimuru together to Ingrrasia so that Hinata will attack.
Then, I will nuke her and Yuuki.
Hinata may be strong, the barriers might weaken me, but she can't survive something which can barely scratch Milim.
And Yuuki has some Anti-Skill or something according to the spoilers I know.
My nuke isn't a skill.
Anyway, right now, Spirits, here I come!
