"I'm horny!"

"I, Rimuru Tempest, Demon Lord and Ruler of the Nation of Tempest...am...HORNY!!!"

The announcement came with a flourish of the bedsheets draped over his body as he dramatically cast them aside, leaving him completely nude, though still lacking genitals, in front of the audience that had followed him to the outdoor stage. Of course, the lack of genitals didn't dampen the effect this action had, not on him nor those that gazed upon it. Feeling their eyes upon his nude, human body...In truth, he experienced a somewhat similar excitement for a while after it was pointed out to him one time that he constantly went outside without clothing in his slime form, but this sensation was on an entirely different level.

Some in the audience gasped, either in shock or in delight at the sight laid bare before them, though none finding what they saw unappealing, and therefore none being able to redirect their gaze.

Some were left agape in silence, their minds reeling as they tried to discern why their lord had chosen to make this announcement, similarly unable to find the mental capacity to direct their eyes away from the sight before them.

All across the city, the citizens of Rimuru stopped what they were doing, their attention now dominated by the words of their ruler, likely to echo in their minds until the end of time, until the end of their lifespan, or until Rimuru said something else, whichever would be soonest.

"And the reason I'm telling you all is because I know there are those of you living under my rule that would jump at the chance to help me with that issue. I've seen the looks you give me, you know who you are."

The cheeks of many faces across the city flushed bright red, their owners subject to images of their own fantasies replaying in their minds. Even ones such as the blacksmith Kaijin, who in the past occasionally found himself questioning his own sexual preference in the presence of the undeniably beautiful and feminine slime lord, were not exempt from the effect his words had, he himself having found his hammering arm stayed by them mid-swing.

"Well, now's your chance! I'll be leaving the front doors of my home open for any interested in this offer for the next ten minutes, after which they and all other entrances and windows will be sealed, and a barrier will be placed around the building, preventing both entry and voyeurs, except in case of emergency. I'll be waiting..."

With his message conveyed, Rimuru teleported back to his bed using his [Spacial Motion] skill. He could have used that to go from his room to the stage in the first place, but in the lust-addled state he'd left his house in, he'd forgotten he had it. And there was a very loud part of his mind telling him that wouldn't have been as much fun, anyway. But at the moment, the part of his mind that was the loudest was telling him to grab his pillow and scream into it, his legs hooking around it as they kicked wildly.

I can't believe I just said all that! Out loud! To everyone! I'm not sure if I sounded more like some arrogant dipshit or a freaking infomercial. "If interested in this offer, call in now! If you do it in the next ten minutes, you can suck my dick!" Aaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!

After a moment, the muffled screaming gave way to muffled laughter, his legs settling on the bed and his grip on his pillow softening.

...Heh...hahahaha! It was super embarrassing but it felt so good at the same time! I could practically feel everyone get almost as horny as I am the moment I called them out on being interested in me. Actually, considering the level of sensory power [Universal Detect] gives me, I probably did feel it. Ha ha ha...It's almost like I have complete control over them, and I don't even have to use any of Diablo's skills to do it. And yet, I don't; they all have their free will intact. They reacted that way because they legitimately feel that way about me.

Rimuru sat up and faced the door to his bedroom; he could already hear the sounds of people coming from the main hall of the ridiculous mansion they insisted on building for him. Well, normally he thought it was ridiculous, having such a huge house intended just for him. He had to insist others stay in the other rooms; the kijin were the first to cave, reasoning that living in the same house as their lord would make it easier to come to his defense in an emergency. But now, it was probably a good thing it could hold so many people.

As long as I'm giving back to them, providing for them using my power and wits, what's wrong with asking for some pleasure now and again? Besides, it's not like I'm the only one who's going to enjoy this. I'm not taking advantage of them. They want this just as much as I do.

As his aroused imagination began to run wild with the possible activities he could engage in with whoever might show up, he realized he had an important decision to make. Hopping out of bed, he used [Enhanced Replication] to create a mindless body double of himself, standing face-to-face with it in lieu of using a mirror.

Being able to see myself from any angle should make this decision a little easier. Now...
