They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

'Is this what Ling Yu often refers to as a femme fatale?'

Listening to Daisuke Hiyama's reasons, Rimuru muttered to himself.

"Is that all the reason you're going to kill Nagumo-kun?!"

Kaori Shirasaki, who was standing next to Hajime Nagumo, was stunned and couldn't believe what Daisuke Hiyama had said.

The other students were also shocked.

The Radiant Sky River also gaped open.

What this humanoid monster said was actually true?!

"Yes! That's exactly why!"

"I clearly love you so much, but your eyes have always only belonged to Nagumo Hajime!"

"I'm not reconciled, I'm jealous, so I'm going to kill him!" Daisuke Hiyama roared at Kaori Shirasaki.

Seeing Daisuke Hiyama, who was like a mad dog and would pounce on her if Melda hadn't been holding him back, Kaori Shirasaki was startled.

Yaegashi Shizuku quickly stepped forward, shielding Shirasaki Kaori behind her, then sighed as she looked at Hiyama Daisuke.

"Hiyama-kun, you've gone mad."

"Yes, I've gone mad, but I absolutely refuse to admit it! Trash like Hajime Nagumo doesn't deserve Kaori's favor!"

After saying that, Daisuke Hiyama began to struggle wildly.

However, under the full suppression of Commander Melda, his body did not move an inch.

"Daisuke, how did you become like this?" Amanokawa Kōki asked, puzzled.

"Stop pretending! You're the most incompetent one! Both of your childhood sweethearts are unwilling to take things further with you. One of them even chose Nagumo Hajime over you. You're such a waste!"

Daisuke Hiyama spat, his tone full of disdain.

"you!"

Tian Zhihe Guanghui's face turned pale and then red.

The other students also had somewhat strange expressions.

That seems to be the case.

Despite being childhood friends with the two most beautiful girls in school, Shirasaki Kaori and Yaegashi Shizuku only maintain a friendship with him.

Looking at it this way, it really does seem pretty useless.

Rimuru's gaze kept moving back and forth between Amagawa Radiance, Nagumo Hajime, Shirasaki Kaori, and Yaegashi Shizuku.

What's going on? A love quadrangle?

This is pretty funny.

Unfortunately, although he wanted to continue following this story, remaining silent would make him, as a wise man, seem like he was being overshadowed.

So, looking at Melda, he said, "If there are no problems, I'll take her with me."

“Please go ahead,” Melda said calmly.

He also understood it.

A guy like Daisuke Hiyama, who has wicked intentions, absolutely cannot stay in the team.

This is extremely detrimental to unity!

Seeing this, Rimuru reached out his hand towards Daisuke Hiyama.

"Predator".

Next second

The snow-white arm transformed into a giant slime, swallowing the struggling Daisuke Hiyama whole.

"Then I'll take my leave now."

Huge bat wings unfurled behind him, carrying Rimuru into the sky.

After giving a gentlemanly bow, Rimuru's figure suddenly flew down into the abyss of Naraku.

Seeing Rimuru leave, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

The biggest crisis has been averted.

"Let's go back."

Commander Melda glanced at the dazed Radiance of the Heavenly River and sighed inwardly.

Given what has happened, it seems unlikely that a second maze exploration will be possible in the near future.

Moreover, perhaps Guanghui is really not suitable for the position of team leader.

Hajime Nagumo... is a good candidate.

……

After the hundredth floor of the Great Labyrinth of Orcus, there is another hundred floors, which is the true location of the labyrinth, known as Naraku.

The crack in the 62nd floor extends all the way to the first floor of Naraku.

Therefore, as Rimuru continued to fly downwards, he arrived at the first level of Naraku.

Landing

Before he could even properly observe his surroundings, a pink lightning bolt suddenly struck from the shadows, launching a sneak attack on Rimuru.

Rimuru casually raised his hand and scattered the lightning.

Looking to the side, there was a white monster with two tails, resembling a wolf.

Behind it were three or four more wolf-shaped monsters.

"Are they treating me like prey?"

As Rimuru murmured, the two-tailed wolves pounced.

With a flick of his wrist, several water blades flew out, the sharp blades easily killing the two-tailed wolves.

then

Rimuru was stunned.

Because he gained 400 points, which means a two-tailed wolf is worth 100 points!

In that maze where even the minotaur only has 500 points, a monster with 100 points is quite rare.

Thinking of this, Rimuru's lips curled into a strange smile.

It's like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy.

"My dear little wolf cubs, your big brother Rimuru is here!"

Subsequently, a one-sided massacre occurred in the abyss known as Naraku.

Whether it's a wolf, a rabbit, or a bear, everyone gets a share.

Anyone who showed obvious hostility towards Rimuru was kindly sent to see his grandmother by Rimuru using Water Blade or Black Flame Lightning.

And so, after an unknown amount of time, Rimuru, who was on the hunt, finally received a message from Hajime Nagumo.

Hajime Nagumo: "@Rimuru, Mr. Rimuru, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Now I'd like to ask you to teleport me. I need to settle things with Daisuke Hiyama in person."

Rimuru: "It's alright, I've also found a good place. This labyrinth of yours seems to have more than a hundred floors."

Nagumo Hajime: "Huh?"

Rimuru: "It's hard to explain in a few words, come down and see for yourself."

As Rimuru activated his summoning magic, the next second, Hajime Nagumo appeared in front of Rimuru from his dormitory.

Immediately, Nan Yun felt a sticky sensation under his feet.

He looked down and his pupils contracted.

This is because the land is covered with countless corpses of demons!

It's obvious without much thought that this must be Rimuru's doing.

Just as Hajime Nagumo was in shock, Rimuru released Daisuke Hiyama from his stomach.

He then said to Nan Yunshi, "I have sealed the magic power within him. I don't care what you want to do to him, but I will deliver the final blow."

"Thank you!"

Looking at Daisuke Hiyama, who was standing like a dead dog, Hajime Nagumo nodded emphatically.

"Nagumo Hajime, you bastard, you guys are all in cahoots!"

At this moment, Daisuke Hiyama also realized what was happening. Looking at Hajime Nagumo talking to Rimuru, he staggered to his feet and started cursing.

"Hiyama Daisuke, I know you've always looked down on me, so I'm giving you a chance now."

Nagumo Hajime looked at Hiyama Daisuke and took a deep breath.

"What do you want to do?" Daisuke Hiyama asked, frowning.

"Use what you're best at: your fists!"

After saying that, Hajime Nagumo assumed a fighting stance.

He hasn't had any systematic fighting training, but he's a seasoned otaku, so he can still learn a move or two from anime.

"you sure?"

When Hiyama Daisuke heard that Nagumo Hajime actually wanted to have a fistfight with him, he immediately didn't believe it.

“Of course,” Nan Yun replied.

"Why should I fight you?" Daisuke Hiyama asked.

"You have no choice, Hiyama-kun."

Nan Yun said calmly, without a trace of his usual timidity.

He's frighteningly confident now!

"Tsk!"

Seeing Nagumo Hajime's nonchalant demeanor, Hiyama Daisuke felt quite displeased.

Why are you pretending!

Nan Yun!

He made up his mind that even if he died, he would still be happy if he could give Nagumo Hajime a good beating before he died.

"When it comes to fighting, I've never lost!"

After saying that, Daisuke Hiyama took the lead and ran towards Hajime Nagumo, throwing a powerful punch.

Nan Yun hurriedly used his hands to defend himself.

With a 'thud,' it blocked the impact, but it hurt a lot.

Feeling the pain in his arm, Hajime Nagumo gritted his teeth, grabbed Daisuke Hiyama's arm with his other hand, and kicked him in the stomach.

However, under the maddening threat of death, Daisuke Hiyama's adrenaline was being released at an alarming rate.

So much so that he didn't feel a thing when Nan Yun kicked him squarely in the stomach.

He grabbed Nan Yunshi's hand and punched him in the face.

Chapter 184 Hajime Nagumo: Rimuru, how did you become so strong?

Although their fight wasn't particularly exciting, every punch landed hard.

Soon, bright red blood began to flow from their foreheads, mouths, and noses.

However, despite the metallic taste filling their mouths, neither of them showed any sign of stopping.

His reckless fighting style was essentially trading injury for injury, making Rimuru, who was standing to the side, almost unable to bear watching.

The bloody scent generated during their battle unknowingly attracted many monsters, but these monsters were killed by Rimuru the instant they approached within 500 meters of the two.

This is a fair and square duel between warriors; how could he let these beasts disturb it?
