Rimuru got up feeling extremely refreshed and invigorated, and then he felt it, his magicules count had exploded overnight.
His magicules count had increased by seven times, not only that but his magicules had become increasingly destructive.
He had Great sage analyze the anomalies within him but parts of the sudden change was the fact that it couldn't be analyzed. Now he knew that Simon was the cause of this change.
It was only now when he realized that Simon was nowhere to be found, he was lying on a pillow with a blanket over him and smelling a rich fragrance in the air.
He transformed into his human form and followed the smell. He found a newly created kitchen that was technologically advanced but kept the traditional Japanese style.
He saw Simon constantly baking pancakes and cooking bacon and flipping them on an increasingly growing tower of them, "You can sit down and wait inside, these will be ready in a minute."
Seeing the amount of bacon and pancakes stacked on top made him feel an extreme amount of gluttony and disgust, "Don't you think that's enough pancakes and bacon… and fat?"
"Neither of us would be affected by the increasing calorie and fat intake plus Milim will most likely find us and get mad if we don't share." I said while flipping the bacon and pancakes.
"Fair point."

"Haha, so Rimuru what are we doi-" Milim announced her presence alongside Shauna and Shion when she saw the towers of food Infront of both Rimuru and me, "Hey! Where's mine!?"
I pointed to a door, " Your plates in there. Shion, Shuna, join us, there's plates for you two aswell."
Milim had rushed in and Shuna and Shion were surprised that I knew they were coming and when they came out of their stupor, Milim had already come out holding two plated stacks in her hands and one balanced on her head.
Shuna, Shion and Milim took their seat, the two former were very hesitant while the latter seemed excited, " Simon, was this your cooking?!"
" Yes take a bite or else I'm gonna use you for experiments."
Shion and Shuna had inquired about Simon and her relationship with him in the baths, they had heard that Simon was apparently a stellar chef.
While Milim happily dove into the food, they hesitantly they cut a piece off and took a bite, the rich, greasy flavour and the crispness from the bacon was overwhelming and they couldn't control themselves.
They had gotten what you would call… a foodgasm.
It didn't take long for them to join Milim in ravenously devouring the meal, even the ever prim and proper Shuna dropped all forms of decorum to eat the meal.

With completely finished plates, we all left. Rimuru and I went to check up on Vesta's new advancement, Shion and the embarrassed Shuna left to oversee their duties as the secretary and the holy princess respectively and Milim went back to being Milim.
Currently the slime Rimuru and the miniature me were sitting on Vesta's table and witnessing him successfully creating a complete potion.
"Rimuru, let me deal with the promotion of the potions being sold in Tempest." I said to everyone's surprise.
As we were leaving the cave, I sent a mental message to Gehrman to meet me above ground. We exited to find a mushroom cloud above Tempest.
'And now came Phobio and his idiotic stunt.'
————————————————
We were currently standing in the meeting room now with the beastketeer Phobio the leopard fang who was very bitter about the current chain of events.
"Why did you come here exactly?" Rimuru questioned Phobio.
And Phobio wasn't cooperative, "And why should we listen to a lowly slime?"
"Doesn't matter what you say about me, I'm still way stronger than you bruh. I don't know demon lord Carrion, but depending your behaviour, my people could become your masters enemies. Are you sure you wanna piss off the entire forest of Jura?"
"Please, that's some big talk, there's no way that a slime is the boss of this town, but I guess that explains the weak followers. Lady Milim hanging around must've given you a fat head."
And Milim was not happy about that, "Hey watch it jerk, don't you dare insult my bestie."
Me, who was sitting next to Milim and playing Minecraft on a laptop, spoke up to calm her down, " Calm down Milim, don't debase yourself to someone of his level. People like him make a bad name for the people around them, and people like him usually end in dirt where they belong."
" Hey! I am the one of lord Carr- Ughk!" Phobio stood up and raised his voice to defend himself but then coughed up blood.
A sudden wave of haki washed over him for a split second, cracking and breaking some of his bones.
I spoke up calmly without looking his way, " Don't suddenly stand up and don't raise your voice, it's unbecoming of your status… not that you deserve it anyway. Someone as pathetic as you leech off what you have just so you can have semblance of power."
Phobio glared at me with extreme animosity while everyone else was in stunned silence. Phobio tried to defend himself more but more blood just kept coming out.
" Well since you can't speak right now, you can go. And give demon lord Carrion a message, tell him if he wants to talk then he can choose a date and we can talk at that time." Rimuru took advantage of the situation and finished the conversation.
And with that Phobio and his team left. Rimuru jumped to Milim and asked about the deal with the other demon lords involvement.
" I'm sorry but I can't tell you the plan!" Milim announced, basically confirming there was a plan.
I spoke up while collecting diamonds, " I can tell you the plan aswell as the demon lords involved."
My words made Milim shiver and jolt up, "Wait, there's no way that you know about the plan!"
" You mean the plan concocted by demon lord Clayman, Carrion and Frey to use the demon Gelmud to create the orc disaster, this creating an artificial demon lord as a puppet… which you helped on."
My words made Milim freeze on the spot and the others to become stunned at the sudden reveal.
" H-how did you… know?" Milim seemed broken, she knew my ability to collect intelligence was the best but this was just absurd.
" So basically now that Gelmud was taken down, We've become the target of their schemes."
" Basically- FUCK, sorry, got screwed over here." I said while pointing to my screen.
