"You're truly putting in a lot of effort, Lady Snow Empress."

Hakurou sighed with emotion. "What the Lord lacks is not the ability to fight enemies, but means of self-preservation."

With powerful dependents like Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Ogerpon protecting him closely, Rin actually had no shortage of combat power.

Sending out any one of them was equivalent to unleashing a powerful ultimate move.

They were inherently Rin's strength. There was no reason to believe that he had to personally fight for it to count as his own action.

"Thank you, Snow Empress."

"Between you and me, there is no need for thanks."

Snow Empress said, "Come, let's continue our training."

Providing Rin with means of self-preservation was Snow Empress's most urgent priority.

And beyond that, it was to unleash Rin's combat potential, making him no longer a weakness, but the strongest in the team.

As her master, how could Rin be weaker than her?

Having a sword but not using it, and having no sword to use, are two different concepts.

Rin not needing to fight did not mean he could not fight.

When enemies finally broke through the interception of Snow Empress, Ogerpon, and others, and finally reached Rin, they would discover that he was the strongest.

This was Snow Empress's ultimate goal in training Rin's combat skills and instincts.

"Good."

Rin did not decline, nor would he let down Snow Empress's good intentions.

The battle ended, and Rin still failed to defeat Snow Empress.

Rin, however, was indifferent to this.

Previously, Ogerpon was stronger than him, and now there was another Snow Empress. It made no difference.

"You've worked hard, Rin-sama."

Shuna brought a food box filled with many dishes she had personally prepared.

The ingredients were mountain delicacies and wild game from the forest, and after Shuna's cooking, they were incredibly delicious, so much so that even Ice Empress and Snow Empress, who had little interest in human food, quite enjoyed them.

"Pon-yo~~

Ogerpon came bouncing from afar.

Because she had just come out of the rice paddies, the girl left muddy, black footprints behind her with every step.

"Ah ah!"

"Wait, Ogerpon, stop quickly!"

"Po?"

"Seriously, how can you come into the house all dirty?"

Shuna hurried forward, summoning water to wash Ogerpon's hands and feet.

After this period of getting along, the Ogre Clan in the village had become familiar with Ogerpon's personality and character.

She was just an innocent and kind little girl.

In terms of strength, Ogerpon was indeed unmatched among the Ogre Clan, but in terms of temperament, they completely treated her as the Ogre Clan's mascot and took care of her.

Especially Shuna, their relationship was as close as sisters.

"Wash this foot too, and this side... oh, so comfortable~"

Ogerpon didn't mind at all being treated like a child, and she even regarded Shuna, who was good at taking care of people, as an older sister. "Thank you, Shuna."

"Mo~"

"You need to be more careful next time, you're always so clumsy."

Shuna dotingly stroked Ogerpon's head, while handing the specially made sandwich to the girl.

Ogerpon took the sandwich, took a bite, and her eyes immediately lit up. "Delicious!!"

"Hmm, this rice ball is also very tasty."

"But I still prefer curry rice."

"Okay, I'll make it for you next time."

"Oh oh oh!"

There was a lot of food in the basket.

Shuna usually enjoyed researching these, and Rin's preferences were her main focus of study.

In the original work, Shuna was not strong in combat, yet she was still Rimuru's second-in-command, and there was a reason for that.

With Shuna overseeing the base camp with her excellent logistics and coordination abilities, even when Rin was away, their foundation would not fall into disarray.

"Gurgle gurgle."

After eating, Rin drank the freshly squeezed juice prepared by Shuna, and looked at the prosperous and lively scene in the village, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.

The Great Jura Forest was vast, with many scenic and pleasant places.

The Ogre Clan's village was nestled by mountains and rivers, rarely encountering conflicts with the outside world.

It was peaceful and tranquil here, very suitable for retirement.

'If I didn't have the Traveler ability, living in the Ogre Clan village for a long time would eventually make me lose my fighting spirit.'

'However, I can go on adventures in other worlds.'

Explore outside, and when tired, return to this village for recuperation and relaxation.

"Rin-sama, this is the village's subsequent construction plan, please take a look."

Mornings were for Rin and Snow Empress's morning training, and afternoons were for handling official duties.

The official duties were not complicated, mostly concerning resource consumption, construction plans, and directions and goals for external expansion.

Rin didn't need to consider the specific details.

What he needed to do was grasp the overall direction.

"Tell me the specifics, Shuna."

"Alright."

Shuna clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, then reported to Rin the changes in the village over the past half-month.

"First, Ogerpon, under her leadership, the magic beasts within a 50-kilometer radius have been completely cleared."

"The remaining monsters, more or less, possess a certain level of intelligence."

"According to your request, intelligent monsters, as long as they do not actively attack, have the right to survive in this land."

Shuna didn't understand, but she wholeheartedly agreed with Rin's idea.

Everyone had the right to survive. Being strong didn't mean one had to exterminate the weak.

Hunting magic beasts is different because magic beasts are purely brainless monsters that cannot communicate at all.

However, if magic beasts could understand the Ogre Clan, both sides could coexist peacefully.

In contrast, even with the lowest intelligence, monsters still follow some basic rules.

This allowed the village, including the forest and fields within a fifty-mile radius, to develop a completely new ecosystem.

"It's just that the village's development has reached its limit at this point."

Shuna spread a map before Rin. "Our Ogre Clan is the strongest monster tribe in this area."

"Further out, there are scattered Goblin villages and some intelligent monsters."

What needed to be discussed today was the problem of these Goblins.

"How to deal with Goblins?"

Rin remembered that in the original work, Rimuru first subdued the Goblins in the forest and even bestowed names upon them.

Rimuru's magicules were backed by the Storm Dragon, so even if they were depleted, they would quickly recover.

But Rin didn't have such confidence.

His magicules were limited, so even if he bestowed names, he would only choose the most outstanding and promising monsters.

However, this was only a matter of time.

After all, naming monsters could provide Rin with more magicules.

As long as they were willing to join Rin's command and become his subjects, bestowing names would be a matter of time.

(To be continued.)
