Chapter 164: Everything is the fault of Uncle!

"Tamazuki..."

Tamazuki turned and saw Rimuru bouncing toward him quietly. "Uncle." He nodded and greeted him softly.

"How is Shizu-san?" Rimuru asked worriedly.

"She is okay. You don't need to worry."

"Really?"

"Yeah, who do you think I am?"

"....."

Rimuru had to say Tamazuki's words were arrogant, but somehow those words were extremely reliable.

Tamazuki smiled, but he didn't tell the truth to Rimuru since it was better to keep this matter a secret until he found a way to solve Shizu's problem. Moreover, he didn't want at the end of her life; everything was looking at her with pity and sadness.

Her life was already full of misery, so this time, it would be full of happiness!

Watching his reassuring expression, Rimuru also let go of his worry and smiled since he knew that everything was alright.

Still, Tamazuki knew that Shizu would become Rimuru's strength, but because she didn't die and Rimuru didn't use [Predator] on her, Rimuru's strength was naturally weakened. Moreover, it was impossible for Rimuru to become a human now.

Nevertheless, it was also why he let Rimuru use [Predator] on Ifrit before. Still, while [Predator] was a good ability as it was able to consume everything from a monster, a weapon, and many others while inheriting the traits and also the skills of those consumed, the skills that were inherited were weaker than the original.

In other words, the effect was far weaker than his [Previlage], but it made Rimuru able to learn the [Intrinsic Skills], which he couldn't learn, which was something that one needed to debate whether his [Previlage] or [Predator] was better.

However, he didn't need an Ifrit, as his flame manipulation was better.

Tamazuki also knew that he had to compensate Rimuru, so this was how he was going to do it, but he knew it was far from enough, and he wanted him to become even stronger since he had stamped him as his ally, so the stronger his ally, the better it was, right?

'After I become the Demon Lord, let's go to another world again.'

He had something that he had to achieve, but it was impossible to do it in his world, Gakusen's world, or this world, so he could only go to a new world again, getting new heroines and gaining more power.

Nevertheless, the conversation between him and Rimuru was quite good as Rimuru didn't know the truth about Shizu's lifespan, so there wouldn't be any depressing talk between them.

"Oh, right; I told you that I have a surprise, right?"

"Oh, right. What is the surprise?" Rimuru asked curiously, wondering what Tamazuki was going to bring him.

"It's this."

Tamazuki took out all the money inside his [Stomach], then an uncountable number of gold coins filled the entire room and almost washed Rimuru away.

"....."

Rimuru was pushed away by countless pieces of gold coins, which was impossible as he was strong, but strangely enough, he didn't move, was pushed, and just stared at all the money that suddenly appeared in this place.

"...what is this?"

Still, Tamazuki had to say that Rimuru's experience was unique and one of a kind. It was amazing, especially the last part.

"...elf?"

"Elf."

"...are they cute?"

"Super cute!" Rimuru excitedly told him about his experience with a group of beautiful elves.

"I see..." Tamazuki nodded. "It seems that it is necessary to conduct business in the Dwargon." The elf he met was only Ellen, but he wanted to see more to check whether they were really as beautiful as it was told.

"....." Rimuru was speechless since this guy definitely didn't come for business!

"Tamazuki-kun, let me remind you, you are still in high school! You can't visit a bar!"

"Who said that?"

"That's..." Rimuru stopped since he realized that no one could stop Tamazuki!

Unlike in Japan, where there was an age limitation, in this world, there was no such thing. Everyone was an adult as long as they could work.

Moreover, Tamazuki had a lot of money, so everything was possible.

"It's okay, Uncle. I am just there to do business research. Our village will grow, and of course, we also need to do research on what kind of profitable business exists in this world. My purpose isn't something for something dirty, but it is for the future of this village!"

"I see..." Rimuru also let go of his entanglement, but as Tamazuki's uncle in this world, he also needed to take care of him. "It can't be helped if it's for the future of this village, but when you go there, you need to bring me since I need to watch over you."

"Okay, Uncle. You don't need to worry. I will bring you there. Let's have a partyI mean, let's do serious research for the future of this village."

"That's right! Let's have a partyI mean, everything is for this village!"

For the first time, their minds linked, and their relationship had become closer.

Tamazuki and Rimuru held each other's hands and thought that their relationship was wonderful.

"Cough!"

"....." 2x

Tamazuki and Rimuru turned and saw Shizu had woken up.

"Are you two going to play at the bar?" Shizu asked kindly with a warm smile, yet strangely enough, her expression was far from kind.

"....." 2x

"Everything is Uncle's fault!"

"OI!!!"

Tamazuki and Rimuru quickly fought each other, but Shizu, who saw all of this, could only let out a helpless sigh, yet deep inside, she felt relief and was a little shy.
