A bevy of bodacious babes!

The foyer was filled! A sea of women! Thankfully, the room wasn't quite packed like a morning train from Yongen-Jaya to Shibuya would be, or there'd be no space for him! Naturally most of them were goblinas, seeing as the goblins were the most numerous of the monster races inhabiting Jura (not counting the high orcs, which as far as Rimuru could remember were all male), which included Haruna, the goblina who he had first seen when he awoke from the fallout of his first-ever naming spree. He could also see Shuna and Shion, of course, since there was no way either of them would pass up this moment, given how frequently they fought over their lord. There was even a handful of human and demi-human women in the crowd...

Wait, what's Eren doing here? Did she just happen to be passing through the city with Caval and Gido today? I didn't think she was interested in me in that way. The things you don't know about people...

Eren, for her part, found herself feeling a bit weak in the knees as she saw Rimuru's eyes linger on her for a moment in the middle of his scan of the room from atop the staircase, due partly to the combo of feelings her mind was trying to process, and partly to just how pretty he was! Sure, his face had many of Shizu's features, so of course he was good-looking, but the combination of his gentle, girlish face with the eye-catchingly wide hips, hefty schlong, and the unbound confidence he displayed in presenting himself nude in front of all these people with his expression only showing as much concern as one might give to the choice of what to eat for dinner had her feeling some kind of way. Had something changed about him? The announcement he'd given to the entire city a few moments earlier had been out-of-character enough for him that she had came here out of concern for him, or so she had told Gido and Caval, and yet...she couldn't deny that something about all this was awakening something in her. The thought crossed her mind of what he might feel toward her. She had heard once or twice that the Lord of Monsters had been observed displaying a different demeanor around elven women, so maybe...but he didn't display any different behavior toward her when she revealed her lineage to him...but he had been grieving over his fallen friends at that moment...

Finished with his scan of the room full of women, Rimuru tore his eyes away, turning away from them and holding a fist to his chest. Tears streamed down past what might have been the most proud smile he'd ever had for himself. I know I've thought this plenty of times over these two years, but being a slime is the best! It's seriously the greatest! I'm so glad I got reincarnated in this world like this!

"Lord Rimuru?" came the voice of Shion, who stepped out in front of the crowd of women, approaching the bottom step of the staircase. Her call prompted Rimuru to turn around and face the crowd once more, which had the side effect of causing his penis to swing around and slap his thigh just as it had when he did the motion in his bedroom a moment ago, drawing the eyes of every woman present. Shion, having forgotten what she had been about to say, could only blush and adopt a one-knee kneeling posture in deference to her ruler, the slime she'd held great feelings of adoration for ever since he gave her and her fellow ogres-turned-kijin purpose following their near extinction.

Shuna followed suit, present for much the same reason as Shion. Though she was more able to resist the temptation to sneak glances up at her lord every few seconds than her romantic rival. Even so, that didn't mean she was any less attracted to him. At that very moment, her mind was filled with thoughts of what this event - and truly, her lord becoming aroused for seemingly the very first time since she'd known him was indeed an event, evidenced by the attendance of so many women whom she was certain would all be necessary for bringing such a powerful being as Rimuru Tempest to satisfaction - might mean for their future, her future, with Rimuru. What might the offspring of a kijin and a demon slime look like? Might they all eventually be wed to their lord in holy matrimony? Certainly it would be up to her to set the bar in ensuring such an occasion was made as special as it could be. She'd have to speak to Rimuru about it as soon as possible, before Shion got it in her head she should be the one to plan the event.

Following Shion and Shuna's lead, every woman in the foyer took a knee, one hand placed across her chest. Rimuru could only blink in silence, suddenly feeling a bit overwhelmed by the situation he'd created for himself. But as the meaning of their gesture became clear, his concern over what he'd gotten himself into passed, and a grin spread across his face. He began the process of descending the stairs, bare feet eliciting a loud slap with each step dropped on the smooth stone.

They're all here to serve me. To please me. They're loving just being here, having the opportunity to see me. To feel me. Taste and smell me. And hear my commands
