"So, what do you think of my explanation?"
Looking at the six individuals bound by 'Sticky Steel Thread', Rimuru said with a smile. After dealing with the future Hakurou, only the future Benimaru remained in front of Rimuru. However, at this moment, the future Benimaru, who had not yet been granted a name, was merely a skilled warrior. His level of threat was even lower than Hakurou's. So, Rimuru easily defeated him and then bound all six of them with 'Sticky Steel Thread'.
He then slowly communicated information with them, thus clarifying the misunderstanding between them. In fact, even after being defeated, the future Benimaru had no intention of explaining himself. In his opinion, it was better to die than to be humiliated by his enemy in such a way! Influenced by him, the others also remained silent. This made Rimuru, who didn't want to kill, exceptionally melancholic.
Fortunately, there were still reasonable individuals among the six. As the princess of the Ogre Magi, and the future Benimaru's younger sister, the future Shuna deeply felt the immense strength of Shirou Emiya and Rimuru. She believed that with their power, they wouldn't need to use the Orc army to completely wipe out their village. Therefore, they shouldn't be the masterminds behind the attack. So, after some explanation, both sides finally cleared up their misunderstandings.
"We are truly sorry, Lord Rimuru, we were mistaken, we truly apologize!"
Hearing the future Benimaru's apology, Rimuru smiled and released the Ogre Magi from their bonds.
"In that case, we are no longer enemies!"
Upon hearing this, Shirou Emiya, who was watching from the side, leaning against a tree, also smiled. He knew that Rimuru felt pity for them, whose relatives had been slaughtered by the Orc army, and therefore didn't pursue their rash actions. Seeing this, the six Ogre Magi became even more remorseful, continuously apologizing.
"Alright, no need to apologize anymore!"
"As the saying goes, no discord, no concord. Since we've met, why don't the few of you return to town with us! Let us host you."
"And by the way, we can discuss how to deal with the Orc army."
Seeing that it concerned the Orcs, the six Ogre Magi didn't refuse. After all, they had nowhere else to go now.
Thus, taking the six Ogre Magi with them, Shirou Emiya and Rimuru's group returned to their town.

"Delicious, super delicious! How did Lord Shirou Emiya make something so tasty?!"
Eating the delicacies prepared by Shirou Emiya, the future Shuna looked excited. After all, the food Shirou Emiya made was simply too delicious!
"The key to making delicious food lies in dedication and continuous research!"
"As long as you're not satisfied with the status quo and keep delving deeper, your skills will eventually reach a realm beyond imagination!"
"Really?"
Although she felt that Shirou Emiya's words made a lot of sense, the future Shuna still noticed a hint of incongruity. Not having reached the end of any path herself, she didn't yet know that everyone has a ceiling, a bottleneck. And not everyone can break through their own limits.
But due to Shirou Emiya's immense strength, the future Shuna had extreme trust in his words. After all, the monster world has always been about the survival of the fittest. The words of the strong are truth.
"Of course!"
Shirou Emiya, who had not yet encountered a bottleneck in the path of cooking, replied with a smile. Serving the future Shuna a plate full of food, and seeing her satisfied smile, Shirou Emiya nodded contentedly, then turned his gaze to Rimuru's location in the distance. There, he was discussing something with the Ogre Magi and Kaijin, Rigurd, and others.
Although he couldn't hear, Shirou Emiya could guess. It was probably about the Orcs, and the proposal for the Ogre Magi to join them. Shirou Emiya was filled with anticipation for this.

"Is that so? You'll think about it before making a decision?"
"That's right!"
In Rimuru's room, he and Shirou Emiya sat together again, grilling skewers while discussing matters related to the Ogre Magi.
"Shirou, do you think the six Ogre Magi will join us?"
"Absolutely!"
"I see, I think so too!"
Eating the skewers grilled by Shirou Emiya himself, Rimuru couldn't help but show a blissful expression. After finishing all the skewers in his hand, Rimuru took a moment and then suddenly asked, "Shirou, what do you think is the hidden secret behind the Orcs attacking the Ogre Magi?"
Rimuru had no doubt that Shirou Emiya would know about this. After all, he knew that besides being a powerful warrior, Shirou Emiya was also an incredibly strong mage proficient in various magics. Rimuru had personally seen Shirou Emiya setting up familiars to gather information in the forest. Therefore, he asked Shirou Emiya about this.
"The Orcs, huh?"
Also finishing the skewer in his hand, Shirou Emiya paused and then said, "Actually, on the other side of the Jura Forest, there are two hundred thousand Orcs, clad in armor and armed with weapons, constantly advancing."
"They are continuously devouring all the races they encounter, aiming to conquer the entire Jura Forest!"
"What?! Two hundred thousand Orc soldiers?!"
Rimuru stood up in alarm, asking loudly.
"That's right! Exactly two hundred thousand Orc soldiers!"
Unlike Rimuru's panic, Shirou Emiya appeared extremely calm, showing no signs of worry. Influenced by him, the flustered Rimuru gradually calmed down. Seeing this, Shirou Emiya continued, "The reason something like this is happening is clearly because someone is pulling strings behind the scenes. After all, this place used to belong to the Storm Dragon Veldora, and others wouldn't dare to interfere."
"But now, the Storm Dragon Veldora is inside your body, yet everyone else believes he is dead. Therefore, countless malicious intentions are gradually seeping in from outside."
"Those people all want to incorporate this forest into their territory. This current invasion is being carried out by a demon lord, a king of demons!"
"A Demon Lord, huh!"
Rimuru silently muttered the word, his tone filled with apprehension. Although Rimuru and Shirou Emiya were both very strong, the isolated Rimuru had no idea where his own strength truly stood. Therefore, he currently had no mind to worry about the Demon Lord; just those two hundred thousand Orc soldiers were enough to give him a headache.
"A subordinate of a Demon Lord? Can you defeat them, Shirou?"
"If it's just defeating them, of course I can, but wouldn't that be a shame?"
"A shame!?"
Rimuru was somewhat confused. Shirou Emiya said seriously, "Don't just look at what's around us; look further ahead!"
"Our enemy isn't just the subordinate currently being used by the Demon Lord, but the Demon Lord himself. As long as he's alive, he'll constantly attack the Jura Forest. We can't always be on guard against him, can we?"
"Then what should we do?!"
Looking at Shirou Emiya, Rimuru wanted to hear his opinion.
"Use this incident as a reason to integrate the power of all monsters in the entire Jura Forest, and completely take control of the Jura Forest."
"Then defeat the Demon Lord's subordinate, bring these two hundred thousand Orcs under our command, expand our strength, and then you become the new Demon Lord!"
"Me, a Demon Lord!?"
Rimuru asked in disbelief, his voice loud.
