Rimuru expressed her incomprehension at Rin's request.
What kind of punishment was this?
"Wait a minute!"
"Chotto Matte!"
Suddenly, Rimuru became a little flustered. "The clothes you mentioned, they would not be those really embarrassing types, right?"
"How could that be!"
Rin was not that desperate, and it was even more impossible for him to force his dependents to film adult videos. "Of course, they are proper clothes!"
"Is that so."
"Alright then, I agree."
If they were proper clothes, Rimuru felt no pressure at all wearing outfits that Rin liked.
Rimuru in this world had been a girl from the very beginning and would not feel ashamed of wearing women's clothing.
On the contrary, Rimuru was actually quite happy to wear cute and good looking clothes.
"Then let's start today."
"This is your first work uniform."
Rin sent Rimuru a black and white maid outfit. She looked at it for a while, then decisively changed into it.
"Hmm, in terms of being pleasing to the eye, Rimuru is still very good."
"Rin?"
Artoria saw Rin smiling and asked, "Did something good happen?"
"Ah?"
"Heh, you could say that."
Rin did not explain further and instead turned his gaze toward Shizue and the five children beside her. "Are these your students, Shizue?"
"Nice to meet you. My name is Itsohi Rin, and I am Shizue's new boss."
"Boss?"
Chloe tilted her little head and looked at Rin curiously.
Meanwhile, Alice, the blonde girl, was completely captivated by Rin. Her ruby like eyes sparkled as if she had discovered a treasure.
"Mhm."
Rin placed a hand on each of their heads and gently stroked them. "Simply put, your Shizue is now working for me."
"Because I told her I could heal your bodies."
Hearing Rin's words, the children were first stunned, then all of them looked at Shizue, their eyes filled with gratitude.
For their sake, Shizue had been running around everywhere.
Even the children could imagine how difficult it must have been.
And now, also because of them, Shizue had become Rin's employee.
Chloe spoke softly. "Please, please take good care of Shizu-sensei."
The other children followed along.
"We beg you!"
Even Kenya, the hot tempered wild boy, seriously bowed to Rin and made his request.
"Ah."
Rin had a good impression of these five children.
They knew gratitude and were not ungrateful ingrates. That alone was enough.
In addition, according to Violet's test results, all five children had good aptitude, with Alice and Chloe having the highest talent.
Chloe needed no further explanation. In the original work, she was the hero who could transcend reincarnation and travel through time.
Moreover, in the future, she would awaken a super standard Ultimate Skill, Lord of Space-Time Yog Sothoth.
Rin would naturally not miss such outstanding talent.
The only thing worth worrying about was Chloe's fate with Rimuru.
After all, the reason Chloe traveled through time countless times in the original work was to save her teacher, Rimuru.
"Well..."
"Rimuru in this world has already become a girl, what do I have to worry about?"
Rin felt he was overthinking it. "Besides, there is still Alice to nurture, right?"
It should be known that Alice was a girl whom even Rimuru in the original work praised highly for her exceptional talent.
"Come on, I will start solving your problems now."
Incomplete summoning was essentially the result of a broken balance between the soul and magicules.
The children's soul power was too weak, and after being summoned, the rapidly increasing magicules would crush their souls before they could grow.
Therefore, as long as a cornerstone could be added to the children's souls.
All problems would be solved.
"However..."
"I seem to have an even better method."
Rin did not intend to use the method from the original work.
In the original work, Rimuru summoned spirits from the spiritual world through Ramiris, allowing them to fuse with the children to complete their souls.
However, this would make the children's situation similar to Shizue's past.
Once the spirits separated, the children would face the risk of losing control.
Of course, this risk was not absolute.
If they could fully digest the spirit's power, then even if the spirit soul separated, they could still safely survive.
"Artoria."
"What is it, Master?"
"I need your Heroic Spirit Summoning to cooperate with my Hall of Heroic Spirits."
"You, are you planning to..."
Artoria realized Rin's goal. Was he planning to cultivate the five children toward the path of Holy Spirits?
"No, not exactly."
Rin shook his head and said, "I intend to merge the concepts of Immortal Spirit and Heroic Spirit to create a new race."
Immortal Spirits were spiritual beings that evolved from spirits by shedding all impurities and pursuing extreme purity.
Heroic Spirits were semi spiritual, semi material beings born from civilization through human imagination.
What Rin wanted to do was not simply merge them, but to strip away their most essential aspects and recreate them anew.
This was also part of Void God's power, and it was Rin's authority as the Genesis Dragon God.
"Shizue."
Rin said, "You go first."
"Eh? Me?"
"Mhm."
Rin continued, "Since this is the first time, there may be a small issue. I hope you can bear with it. I will resolve it as soon as possible."
"In other words, there is a risk, right?"
"No problem!"
Before Rin could explain further, Shizue readily agreed.
There was always risk in treatment, and as a teacher, Shizue felt it was her responsibility to lead by example and test it for the children first.
"Shizu-sensei!"
"This, this, how can you..."
"Let me do it instead, I am not afraid of danger!"
That last sentence came from Kenya.
This kid might be reckless, but he was indeed loyal, the type who would shield someone from a blade at a critical moment.
"Everyone, there is no need to worry."
Shizue comforted the children and looked at Rin. "If there were real danger, Master would not let me try."
"Ah."
Rin nodded. "Do not worry. The risk I mentioned is, at most, something minor like catching a cold."
"Even if it does appear, I will resolve it immediately."
If Rin did not have absolute confidence, how could he allow his own dependents to attempt it?
No matter what, he would have had to test it on outsiders first.
