In Rimuru's office, a newly confirmed demon lord and true dragon pair arrived from the door looking a bit worn out from an exciting event
Kaijuno: Heyo! We're back!
Rimuru: Hey Kaijuno, how did it went?
Kaijuno: A pain in the butt to say the least
Veldora: I say you did quite alright for your first Walpurgis
Kaijuno: It was your first too, also its not like it's even Walpurgis anymore
Rimuru: why? What happened?
I gave rimuru a rundown of the hectic event especially mentioning how I changed it from Walpurgis to Evalphisto
Rimuru: Sounds like you had one hell of a time
Kaijuno: No kidding
Rimuru: Well as a congratulations on a job well done, I had some our returning battle maids prepared some desserts!
In unison, both I and Veldora instantly recovered from our tiredness upon hearing this
"Hooray!"
We took the next moments enjoying the trays full of different treats from short cakes to jello
I happily stuffed my face with a variety of sweets to the point that I resembled a chipmunk
Kaijuno: so how is Diablo doing with Falmuth?
Rimuru: He reported that it is chaos in the capital since the nobels are trying desperately to organize a response
Kaijuno: Seems that nobility hierarchy is more of pain than it's worth
Rimuru: and get this, he gave them three options, to either continue the war, become a Vassel State, or pay 10,000 stellar gold coins
Kaijuno: not a very swell situation I see. Sucks to be them!
Rimuru: yeah, we'll just have to wait and see how that goes but I can see them continuing with the war as Diablo predicted
Veldora: How about in regards to the church?
Rimuru: Diablo resummoned his two demons to escorted rehiem back to Luberious
Kaijuno: Did you make sure he brought the message orb?
Rimuru: yeah yeah, the drama queen showcase of yours is well in his hands
Kaijuno: hey!
We were more or less just relax and chat til all of the treats were finished which was when I decided to shamelessly reveal some stuff
Kaijuno: Oh! Before I forget, I'd like to bring up that Ramiris is offically moving to Tempest
Rimuru took a moment to stare at me before responding
Rimuru: what? What do you mean?
Kaijuno: Weeeeeeeeell, ya know how ramiris wanted to move in? I just decided to make it official during the council meeting
Rimuru: and without my input!?
Kaijuno: It was gonna happen either way. If we just let her in the dark, she'll just build a hideout nearby. It's better to just get it over with rather than stall it
Rimuru: still you should've waited til I was available to have a say in it
Kaijuno: It's not like it was a bad of a deal, infact I made sure it was very beneficial.
Rimuru: what were the benefits?
Kaijuno: I actually saved a copy of the contract, here ya go
Rimuru took a moment to look over the document, likely with Raphael's assistance since Yagami made it a pain to read over
Once they finally finished they just stared at me silently. They were in their slime form so they didn't make any expression but I partly like to imagine what face they were making
Both of us silently stared at eachother for an awkward amount of time until Rimuru finally let out
Rimuru: You're grounded
Kaijuno:Damn
Rimuru: You can't be doing this type of thing Kaijuno!
Kaijuno: If it works! It works!
Rimuru: You're lucky it was Ramiris, cause I'm sure the other demon lords would've destroyed you out of spite
Kaijuno: you're not wrong. Oh! Speaking of which, guess who I brought back
With glee I popped out a freshly repaired clayman right infront of Rimuru. Given Rimuru his new steps toy, I took my chance to leave
Clayman looked absolutely delirious, he was at the banquet, then probably at an unknown sub space and now in an office he's not familiar with
Once I let it be know who he was, Rimuru gave an immediate death glare towards the confused former demon lord
Seeing that their frustration was now directed towards someone, I chose this moment to make my escape
Rimuru didn't hesitate to bruise up Clayman, only holding back enough to avoid breaking the furniture all while Veldora just watched
Veldora: Does this mean, you're ungrounding him?
Rimuru: I'm considering loosening it but he's still in hot water
Veldora just held an exhausted expression as Rimuru beat up the now former demon lord
Veldora:(Man being an older sibling is tough)

After using instant teleportation, I arrived in my living room
Kaijuno: I had a feeling it end up like that....no matter, the profit from the labyrinth will be worth it in the long run anyways. *sigh*... so now it's beyond season 2 now.... This is a bit more troubling.
I was more aware of stuff through the anime. I made sure to look up stuff avaliable in the light novel but it is more loosely in comparison....oh well, I'll just work through it when the time comes
Oh! While it's just me at my house, Willfla!
Willfla: Hai!
Upon hearing my command, Willfla sprout out of my shadow, tail wagging and all
Kaijuno: Do you still have the teeny fox with you?
Willfla: Yup, she's right here
Popping her head out of his dark mane was the tiny and fluffy formerly known nine heads who was so absolutely adorable that I couldn't resist squeeling in awe
Nine Heads: Hello!
When I saw her small head sprout out of the fur, I lost it
Kaijuno: AAAAAAW Oh my GOSH! You're so freaking CUTE!
I couldn't stop myself from immediately picking her up and hugging her like the plushie existence she is. While I stroked and patted her head, I took a moment to realize that this might've made Willfla jealous but I moved my focus back to him, he wasn't too bothered.
Maybe he was growing quite fond of the small fox as well. Maybe even growing a paternal feeling if he really doesn't mind the attention I'm given her
It quite unexpected with how envious Ranga was when she was in Rimuru's arm. Still I made sure to pat his head to avoid let him feel left out
Kaijuno: This might be a bit sudden, but you alright staying here?
Nine Heads: Only if you can give me more cuddles
Kaijuno: well aren't you a little negotiater. Weeeeell I guess I can accept those terms. Do you except payments in hugs and headpats?
Nine Heads: YES!
Kaijuno: Deal! Hmm, I guess I should give you a name too if you're sticking around
Nine Heads: Yes please!
Kaijuno:(hmmmm, now what to name her? Hmmmmmmmm,
Should I just name her Kumara? Keep it sync with canon? . . . Nah! I got the opportunity to name her, I'll do it my way
It has to be something fox related, how about...what was that nine tailed fox from naruto?)
Yagami:(Answer, the Naruto fox was named Kumura)
Kaijuno:(That sounds an awful lot like Kumara....was she already a reference? Dang it! Ok what other multi fox are there hmmmmmm there vulpix from pokemon,
she does look like one but it's not exactly what I want hmmmm oh there's tails.... but calling her tails is even worst. His real name was Mile Prower. Maybe I can call her by some mix of the two
Hmmmmmm Taipix? Vultails? Milpix? Vulmiles? Hmmmm Vulprower!)
Kaijuno: Alright your name from this day forth will be Vulprower!
Vulprow: Hai! My name is Vulprower!
Once this was confirmed, I felt a huge amount of my magicules gush out of my body to be used for the name of the now Vulprow who gained new tails totallingto 9. I was quite suprised the large amount that was used for such a small fox
Kaijuno:(Woah! What is this all of sudden!?)
Yagami:(Answer, individual Vulprower is a from a highly ranked lineage of cryptids hence is why a large portion of magicules was used in the naming process)
Kaijuno:(But this much? Jeesh and that's not even pointing out the fact I'm at a super awakened level too but yet I'm still drained. Did rimuru get this washed up too when they named her?)
Yagami: (sourcing from the light novel, yes)
Kaijuno:(Man, I'm gonna need to lie down for a while)
Kaijuno: Alright! First things first! To my room for resting!
Vulprower/Willfla: Hai!
For the remainder of our day we spent snug as a rug on my bed. While the other two napped, I preferred to stay awake just.... "because" but to also enjoy drowning in the fluffy embrace of the two
Later on, I named Vulprower's tailed beast giving each the names
White Ape as Gokong
Moon rabbit as Monty
Black Rat as Begicheez
Lighting Tiger as Tony
Winged Serpent as Lucoa
Sheep as Meep
Fire Flamingo as Phoenisright
Mirror Hound as Bludmary
Which greatly boosted Vulprower's strength as well. Later on I decided to get her to learn flight by using her tails which was hilarious and glorious. Her time to be a floor guardian shall come but for now, she will be my personal cuddle plush
