After explaining the background and introducing himself, Rimuru asked Veldora a question.
"Then who are you? And what brings you here?"
Upon hearing Rimuru ask who he was, Veldora immediately became interested.
He adjusted his posture, raised his head and chest, and said loudly.
"I am the great Storm Dragon Veldora, who stands at the pinnacle of this world. It is an honor for you to know my name, hahahaha."
"Here it comes, this chuunibyou dragon is acting up again."
Otosaka Souji, standing to the side, remained silent.
Can this really trigger chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?
"A Storm Dragon? That sounds really powerful."
"That's what the adorable king thought to himself."
At this moment, Otosaka Souji stepped forward and spoke.
"Don't believe him. He's just too immature."
When Veldora heard Otosaka Souji say that he was too much of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), he immediately retorted.
"No, I am really powerful. I am regarded as a natural disaster by humans."
"Yes, yes, yes, although you are very powerful, being at the top of this world is a bit much."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have been sealed here, right?"
"That's...that's because..."
Seeing that Otosaka Souji's words were reasonable and well-founded, Veldora didn't know how to refute them.
If Veldora is powerful, then she truly is powerful.
But there's always someone stronger. Even someone as powerful as Veldora was sealed away by someone else.
Therefore, don't be too arrogant or reckless before you have invincible strength.
You never know when you might offend someone you can't afford to mess with, and end up getting killed.
Otosaka Souji began introducing himself to Rimuru.
"My name is Otosaka Souji, and I am a transmigrator from another world."
"And the man next to me is called Veldora, a dragon that was sealed here by the hero."
"I'd say our relationship is that of brothers or friends."
"Although I haven't known Verudela for very long, we genuinely want to become brothers and friends."
After listening to Otosaka Souji's complete introduction, Moe-Oh nodded his round body repeatedly.
"I see, I understand now. It's nice to meet you all."
"But time travelers from other worlds sound pretty cool."
Rimuru looked at Otosaka Souji dressed in modern clothes and remembered his name, so he asked curiously.
"Souji, did you travel here from Japan?"
The question asked by Rimuru was exactly what Otosaka Souji had expected.
After all, the clothes you wear and your name already reveal a great deal of information about you.
However, there's nothing wrong with sharing this information.
So, in response to the question asked by Rimuru, Otosaka Souji nodded.
"Yes, I came from Japan."
Upon hearing Otosaka Souji's admission, Rimuru immediately became excited and wanted to say something more.
But it seems that Otosaka Souji had a premonition of the question that Rimuru wanted to ask.
He answered in advance.
"However, the neon I live in is probably not quite the same as the neon you live in."
"Our world is full of mysteries, superpowers and the like; it's not just an ordinary technological world."
You can think of it as a parallel world. Even if you go to my world, it will no longer be your original world.
"Moreover, my ability to travel through time is a superpower that I awakened at a young age."
After Otosaka Souji explained his understanding.
As if he had been doused with cold water, the Rimuru immediately shrank back and said.
"Oh, I know, I was just being too presumptuous."
In fact, Otosaka Souji understands Rimuru's thoughts.
After all, Otosaka Souji himself had had such thoughts.
Unfortunately, although he has the superpower to travel between different worlds, the chance of traveling back to the world he lived in his previous life is very slim.
The myriad realms and universes are so vast that one might not find even a single opportunity in a lifetime.
But if I can't find it, so be it. Compared to my ordinary and uneventful life in my previous life...
Otosaka Souji still prefers the present, a life filled with endless adventures and the ability to travel and explore countless worlds.
So Otosaka Souji comforted the somewhat disheartened Rimuru.
"I understand your thoughts; I've had similar thoughts before."
"Actually, I'm also a reincarnated person, but I'm a little luckier than you."
"In my previous life, I was an ordinary person in the Dragon Kingdom. After I died, I was reborn in a parallel world called Japan, and then I awakened the superpower of time travel."
"If I had to choose between my past life and my present life, I would choose my present life without hesitation."
"Compared to the world before, this world is full of endless adventures and wonders."
"You must have already experienced this deeply, so since you've been given a second chance at life, just enjoy it and don't worry too much about things beyond your reach."
"The power to travel through time and space," "The Predator," "The Great Sage," "The Mind's Eye," and "The Protection of the Storm" can all be considered extraordinary encounters in this world.
Otosaka Souji's words sound very reasonable.
After being comforted and persuaded by Otosaka Souji, Rimuru also came to terms with it and let go of his inner thoughts.
"Shogun, you're right."
"Being able to live again is already very lucky. I shouldn't be greedy and ask for more."
Rimuru thought to himself, "Otosaka Souji is actually a pretty nice guy."
