Although I asked for a tour, both me and Rimuru knew there wasn't much to tour at this point but I did give me a temporary home.
Although the house wasn't that luxurious, I was nothing if not adaptable. In fact, I didn't really care about the housing situation
I heard a knock on the door and got up to open it up, "Did you need something from me?" I raised an eyebrow at the sudden arrival of the blue-haired Shizu doppelganger.
"Can we walk and talk while doing this?"
————————————————
We began walking down the barren streets that was slowly becoming less barren due to the efforts of the thousands of orcs.
Due to me not giving a shit about my appearance, the announcement that I was living within the village was made causing a stir in the village and the last few days, they have been wary of approaching me.
And now with both their ruler and god walking down the streets, no one deliberately looked their way but the feeling of both their presence at the once sent a thrill up their spine.
"What did you want from me?" I asked everyone's favourite femboy.
" Well I hear that you're the god of innovation so I wanted to say if you really live up to that name." Rimuru said with grandeur, clearly trying to stab my pride.
I looked at Rimuru with a disapproving look for stooping so low to using provacative actions, "You disappoint me. If you wanted my help, you could have just asked me you dumbass."
"Oh ok, can I get help on some architecture, it's fine if it's just your professional opinion."
I looked at Rimuru for a second, my gaze making Rimuru feel exposed in some way, "C'mon, tell me what you want from me?" I began walking, expecting Rimuru to follow.
"Great! You know both Kaijin and Kurobe had begged me to work alongside them."
"Is that so? Be honest with me, how long and hard did you try to come up with a way to get me to work on this?" I asked out of genuine curiosity.
"To save myself from personal embarrassment… I won't be saying that without a lawyer."
"Smart move, most people are idiots and don't ask for one. Should we include lawyers in this places."
"That would be really funny, playing attorney wright irl… monster DLC?" Rimuru got a good laugh out of me with that.
We walked slowly towards the area where the building was happening.

We had made our way to the blacksmith in which both the Dwarf and Kijin were surprised by our appearances.
They thanked Rimuru for getting me to come over but when they turned their gazes towards me, I was already visibly analysing the weaponry that has been made.
Seeing this, none of them actually stopped me, they just waited in anticipation as I checked everything around.
I picked up two weapons hung up on the wall from display and looked at them two deeply, " Answer me this. The one in my right hand is Kurobe and the one in my left is Kaijin, right?"
The other three in the room were surprised by my accurate deduction, Kaijin confirmed my question, "Y-yes, how did you know?"
The one in my right is more accurate to the shape in the blueprint by 2 millimeters, showing a much finer heat control, clearly the speciality of Kurobe. Whereas the one in my left is much stronger and harder, showing better refining of the metal, clearly the speciality of the Kaijin."
Everyone had the same what the fuck face, their jaws literally dropping, " it seems that you don't have a good way to attain high grade materials fast enough for your personal production."
"Yeah." The two blacksmith were clearly hesitant to ask for something.
"I'm assuming that there's another reason you guys wanted me here." My voice causing them to tense up.
"Um well, We've heard multiple stories about the god Pneuma, one of them was about the black sword of entropy Zelus. If it isn't too audacious and the stories are true, we would like to inspect Zelus and use it as a basis for future weaponry."
It was at this moment that Rimuru became more interested in this visit, " Firstly, Zelus does exist but I doubt you would be able to decipher it's makeup."
Kurobe: " Atleast give us a chance."
I looked into their sincere eyes and gave in and summoned Zelus onto the table Infront of them, the black steel glimmering in the light from the forge.
"Wow, it's… incredible." Kaijin and Kurobe were in immense fascination of Zelus, evens Rimuru was geeking out seeing the black sword.

In the time that Rimuru made me work for him, I had made the hot bath far before it was meant to be created, I created a sawmill to make wood chopping easier, robots to gather wood and a bunch of construction vehicles like bulldozers and excavators.
This made the orcs workload lighter, evens though they probably didn't care about that, they were still immensely grateful.

"This is soooo COOL!" We were currently sitting in Rimuru's home, and I had made a 3D-hologram and made it into a game that can be played.
Essentially instead having blueprints lying around, I made Rimuru a tycoon game that he can plan future construction in a much more fun manner.
And now he was playing this in his slime form on my lap.
"Simon, are you an otherworlder?" Rimuru seemed hesitant to ask this sudden question.
But seeing Simon's disapproving face again made him think he had made a huge mistake.
"You're only finding this out now?"
"Was it meant to be obvious?"
"Well I wasn't hiding it you idiot."
"Lord Rimuru! Are you in there!?" We heard Shions voice coming from outside.
She walked in and found Rimuru sitting down there while I was setting up a T.V and the legendary El cinco.
Shion wanted Rimuru's opinion on the current construction of some of the… exotic buildings that he had ordered.
Rimuru told her to tell the construction team to not worry about the those buildings in particular and that the order for those was Rimuru felling victim to the technology that I had provided.
After that Shion left and we spent the rest of the time playing Heave ho.
' I guess this is the kinda peaceful life Rimuru always wanted before.'
