Rimuru X Anos
5

To celebrate my victory in the exam mom prepared a lavish feast. Sasha made something of not understanding why she had to participate in the celebration of her defeat. But he was silent as he bit into the mother's cooking. As I thought, mother's food is delicious even to the standards of this age.

Mother floods Sasha with many questions, just like Misha before. In the end, eliminating the misunderstanding of the mother proves difficult. I turned to look at Rimuru who had just been quiet since then and ate the food quietly or so it seemed. He was indifferent to what was happening around him.

'Is it because I forced her to come along without asking her opinion? Maybe I'll try to talk to him later.'

So after dinner ended, I decided to talk to Rimuru. At first I wanted to take Sasha and Misha home first, but I saw Sasha and Misha together there was silence between them so I decided to give them a little more time.

"Mirhimura!" Call me when he opens the door and leaves.

"What's wrong?" Ask Rimuru

"Is there anything I want to talk about, can you?"

"Depends on what's being said"

I thought he would get angry. He's not like Sasha who gets carried away by emotions or talks a little like Misha.

"First I'm sorry for forcing you to come home without knowing if you can or not."

"That's nothing to worry about." Said Rimuru with ease.

"Then why do you just shut up you look desperate." He was surprised but then returned to his expression.

"It turns out you realized it...."

"of course! I'm not blind to know that."

"Actually I got a message from my subordinate if he found any signs of my friend's whereabouts but as he probed further it then disappeared as if it never existed."

Subordinates? Apparently he has a subordinate. I began to wonder about Rimuru's identity as much as he did,

"missing? What's your max?"

"Maa. It happens often...." This is the first time I have seen him despair, usually he exudes an aura like a wise leader, I would probably believe if he said he was a king in a kingdom.

"What if I help you?" I tried to offer him help, though,

"What's? I don't think it's necessary because I can take care of it." Rimuru went silent "We've even met for a week and you want to help me?." Rimuru Lirih

"Now we are friends." I said, which made Rimuru surprised, but then she calmed down again.

"You're right. Then please cooperate from now on Anos." He said and then left after waving hands at me.

'Deg' Rimuru smiled sweetly, this is the first time I've seen him smile so sincerely as if his burden was reduced. I don't know why it feels like something's tickling in my stomach.

***

At Rimuru's house on the edge of town

Somehow I became relieved when Anos offered to help find Veldora, probably because I was almost desperate and Anos' offer came at the right time.

[Masters. You look happy?] Ask the curious Ciel.

"of course. Don't you like me like this Ciel-Sensei?" I replied while slightly teasing Ciel

[B... Sure didn't! I asked seriously Master don't tease me] I laughed knowing Ciel's reaction.

"Having a new friend is not bad, if you do not have hostile intentions why not become a friend instead of Ciel?" I answered before Ciel was upset.

[Yes!]

After I named her during the war with the Ciel empire, she was able to express a soul-like feeling even though she was still a part of me. I'm glad I never felt alone.

"I can't wait to see my new friends tomorrow morning." I waited in the morning at the Academy.

Next day

I arrived at Delsgade's class and found Rimuru sitting on the right side of my seat and Sasha next to him. They then greeted me.

"Aren't your seats there?"

"Sasha invited me to move and I don't think it's a bad idea" said Rimuru, who then glanced at Sasha.

"Isn't it better for the team to sit together?" Sasha continued Rimuru's words.

Well, I guess that's better. I took my own seat and turned to the left." Hi." Hey."

"Good morning" Misha replied flatly as usual.

"By the way the team is, by the way," said Sasha "what happened to my former team?"

"Some of them want to join your team."

Come to think of it some students came to me earlier."I reject them"

"Huh?! Wh why? having a bigger team will be better in the test." Sasha nagging.

"I don't feel that way." I said "It's not like we need them, the four of us are enough" I added. ' Or rather, I've had enough.

"We might be fine on the team exam, but you need at least five members for the class exam and at least seven members for the score exam." Sasha is

"What Sasha said was true, Anos you at least received three of them. Although such temperament may over time they will soften us even more as a team" Rimuru rebuked me

Sasha became happy, hmm since when did they become familiar.

"I don't know that, but because there's still time to think I'll handle it later."

"What a carefree attitude.." muttered Sasha, pouting.

That moment the bell rang. Emilia stepped in, followed by the man wearing a formal robe and hat. He is a skeleton. I remember if one of my seven subordinates was unded definitely named Ivis Necron.

Those who held the title of Demon Elder definitely had quite a great status in this era. The students could only fall silent once Ivis appeared. Wait for. No, the students were cowering in fear due to the overwhelming difference in strength.

My magic also has the same effect, but since the demons of this era are too weak their senses are completely numb to my power. No, there's one individual who can take away my power even if he doesn't feel afraid.

As I glanced at Rimuru and as expected he realized, at least you must have immense strength to have such sensitivity.

"Today's lesson is about the greater magic given by Demon Elder Ivis Necron, because it was held once, so listen carefully." He looked at me as he spoke "Particularly you're Anos Voldigoad."

"I know without being told" I replied.

"That's great, then..."

This is the perfect opportunity to send greetings. I'm standing from my seat."Yo, Ivis long time no see."

Emilia's jaw fell. "Yes-Anos Voldigoad!W-How dare you call Lord Ivis like that?!"

The students began to whisper. Ignoring the commotion, I used my eyes to check on Ivis. Her magic is femiliar, she is indeed one of my subordinates that I created using my blood. I'm almost sure it's_almost.

"Lord Ivis, accept my sincere apology! I'm about to evict Anos Voldigoad!" Emilia begged.

"No need" said Ivis kindly. "You said you've seen me before."He turned to look at me.

"Yes, it's been two thousand years. Don't you remember."

"Two thousand years," Ivis muttered. "No wonder. Unfortunately, I did not have a shadow at the time. I only remember my master, Taja the Tyrannical Devil."

"Then you have to bite me ."

"Are you connected to the founder? Your magic does feel a bit femiliar" Ivis admitted.

"Is that so?"

"I'm sure we're familiar. What do you want from me?" She asked

"Nothing special. I was just thinking if I could help you move your memory." Under the worried gazes of the entire class, I walked towards Ivis. Then I caught his skull with a grip. The classroom was flooded with panic.

"W-What are you doing Anos?!" Emilia crying.

Ignoring the commotion I drew a magic circle on my palm. The magic I activated was Eviy, a spell that could evoke memories, but there was no response from Ivis' mind.

"Your life is in vain" said Ivis. "There is no memory left from that time. Notyan I can't remember. Memories do not exist. Even with Eviy can't bring back what he lost."

"Then, how about this" I coated my magic circle with Rivide.

"What's this...? What have you done? my memories.they flowed into my mind..."

"If your memory is erased, I will only rewind the time in your mind with Rivide and activate Eviy from two thousand years ago."

"Time-delay? Impossible! You're saying there's magic that transcends time?!"

"This is a kind of origin magic. A rather difficult spell, though."  Traversing Two thousand years of Ivis's memories....But there was not a single mention of Demon King Anos Voldigoad in his memory. Because the memories that flowed through Ivis's head weren't mine so I could only see the surface. I can't say my name anywhere, it's just Avos Dilhevia.

"Why don't I still bite you?"

"Someone has erased your memory of the last two thousand years." His past has been changed. To him Demon King Anos never existed. How troublesome.

"I understand Anos, don't I? I should thank you. That fact is new knowledge if out there you want me to be sick."

"Here you go, please continue the lesson."
