“ Does it sound cool, huh? Does it? ”
It was then that a voice spoke to Rimuru's head, clear and full of urgency.
« Master, it appears that we are being-- »
( Is that so? Gotcha, I'll be careful... )
“ Hope this gift is to your liking, Keldor-kun! ”
With a snap of his fingers, a large black case would have been summoned to Rimuru's side.
“ I asked a good friend of mine to make something for you, he considers it one of his best works. ”
Smiling, the Demon Lord would have unlatched the case to reveal what was inside.
Gah ..he forgot how Rimuru can be a rather pretty boy outside of his usual slime form.
A scratch to the side of his skull.. Keldor's tiresome expression turned that of curiosity.
❝ Gifts❓..ah--I should probably give you something in return since it'd feel wrong..

“ You can consider this a specialty of Tempest. Each of these little guys are infused with elemental spirits, and you can slip them into those holes in the hilt in order to borrow their power. ”
He smiled, holding up one of the marble-shaped orbs, which shimmered a bright red.
In a flash, his human form returned. The youthful Demon Lord turning to Keldor. Blue hair with a hint of platinum going down his back, before Rimuru spoke up yet again.
" Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I brought some gifts, I think you'll like them. "
" It's been... complicated. I won't bore you with the details, but I had to deal with the Great-Tenma War. "
He knew those words probably meant little to Keldor, but such a conflict meant a lot to the Central Axis World. A bitter conflict between the world and the angels.
❝ Ah..sorry...just too many things happening all at one.❞
Keldor looked over to him in silence. .Resting his chin on his palm.
❝ My past is coming back to haunt me, Me being a parent to two girls. .Annnd.
Well.
Being a leader to a rebellion..❞
Keldor's hues

Not only that, but Cryptids and the Giants were also involved in the war... which only meant a harder time for the Western Nations to fight back. Albeit, it's not as if Rimuru hadn't made significant growth as a result...
" I'm glad to see you're alive though... "
