At the table, Milim was hyping up Rimuru and Felix to each other.
"As much fun as this has been Milim." Felix interrupted her. As the two looked at him strangely.
"I've got things to do, places to be, and areas to explore." Once he finished he took a few steps away from them.
Rimuru understood, 'Most Demon Lords should be very busy from what Milim told me.' He peeked at Milim before his face dropped. 'I too wouldn't trust her with administration.'
"Aww, really?" Milim dropped her loaf of banana bread.
"Yep, nice meeting you Rimuru, I'll make sure to visit, after all, it's been a while since I experienced Japanese culture."
Rimuru froze,
'Did he just–'
But before his brain could reboot Felix had already left.
…
Rimuru and Milim were left alone, Rimuru still reeling at a sudden revelation, Milim meanwhile had already moved past it and picked her banana bread back up.
"Who was he, Milim?"
"Felix, he was just here a minute ago." Milim responded half-heartedly.
"Not that Milim, I mean as a Demon Lord, he is one right?" Rimuru shivered, remembering Great Sage's findings. 'He better be with that many magicules.'
"...Who…nom…Felix?...Nom…Nom…"
–Gulp–
Finishing her bread with a smile Milim beat her non-existent chest before answering. "Ahem. Felix isn't a Demon Lord." She put a finger against her cheek, "Though he could become one if he wanted. Guy would welcome him as well."
'He's NOT a Demon Lord…' Lightning went off in his head, if Felix wasn't a demon lord, but is that strong then…
"Wait!" He grabbed Milim's arm, dragging her to look at the damage she most likely caused.
"What happened here then?!" He shouted in exasperation.
"Hmph! He called me a…c-child…" She crossed her arms and puffed her cheeks as she remembered Felix messing with her.
Rimuru had a flashback to what happened with Gabiru, 'BUT that didn't lead to THIS!'
[Notice: It is recc–]
'Not now Sage…hah' He facepalmed.
Milim soon got bored and started to poke Rimuru's cheek.

High in the sky Felix was on his back with his hands behind his head as he bathed in the sun's light. "That was fun. Milim said that demon lords each have a domain right?"
[...]
"Go on, say it already."
[Answer: Combining the recently acquired skill "Milim Eye" with "Amplify" you can locate a demon lord based on their magicules]
"Really now? That could be a fun trip." He closed his eyes and pictured whether he should or shouldn't, but sadly he wouldn't get a choice.
–VHOOOMM–
"What the–" Space tore open as Felix was immediately sucked in.
[...]

"–Hell…?" Felix stared at the sudden battle in front of him.
"Fucking dragons…and demons," Felix sighed tiredly, already fed up with this shit.
Felix's eyes darted to his arm, a green light was emanating from not just one but both. "I did not ask for arm bands.
What are these things anyway?" While he wanted to investigate the green bands, the large body of a dragon had been flung towards him.
A vein popped in his head. "Piss off!"
–Slap–
He backhanded the large body, instantly changing its path back to whence it came. Felix froze, he had only done that out of habit.
"But, wasn't that a bit too easy? Like I felt nothing when hitting that, are these dragons teenagers?" He scratched his head,
"It would explain them fighting at least."
.
.
.
"Anyway," He turned his attention back to the new accessory on his arms, "What are these? They look…" He noticed a type of possible runic language, and somehow he could understand it.
"Time…Ugh" He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Of course it's time shenanigans."
"Who are you?" The demon appeared before him, a look of curiosity as they gazed at his face. Two maids were also floating just behind him, they were also demons from what he could tell.
Taking a deep sigh, Felix was beginning to wonder if he just maybe should've stayed with Rimuru and Milim.
The demon gave an excited smile.
"Wanna fight?"
"N–"
–BAM–
'What is it with people just attacking me out of nowhere?' Felix held the demon's wrist tightly, choosing to ignore the creepy smile they had.
"Can you not? You see I've been through a whole lot recently."
The demon noticed his tired expression and soon burst into laughter,
"Hahahaha, interesting, interesting." Felix felt like he would not be getting time alone to think anytime soon.

1 Week Later -
Felix finally got some time to himself, with Guy and that "Fire Bitch" as he calls her, constantly bugging him for a fight.
Turns out he was right, time shenanigans. It seemed that because of some bullshit reason, he had been caught by something and was now sent back in time, the bands on his arms seemed to be what was causing it.
The white dragon, Velzard, took a look at them, but no-one could even tell what it was, a skill, a spell, something their apparent brother did?
"And that voice seemed to not exist right now…hah." He lay back in the bed he created, looking up at the stars above.

Stepping out into the ice castle, Felix wandered through the halls before coming to the throne room.
Two greater demons opened the doors for him followed by Guy's voice. "Felix! It's so good to see you." Guy left his throne and approached Felix.
"It's been 5 hours, Guy." Felix shoved Guy's face away, if it wasn't for the way he and Velzard argue like a couple, Felix would actually be concerned, he doesn't swing that way.
Guy smirked and draped an arm around Felix's shoulder as they walked towards the Throne, the maids Misery and Rain giving a small bow.
"..."
"..."
"You can remove your arm now, Guy." Guy quickly did so, holding his hands up in surrender, Felix just shook his head and sat down, Guy meanwhile walked around him and sat on the throne's arm.
Amidst the silence of the throne room, Felix was confused, he eyed Guy thinking, 'Since when can this "guy" shut his mouth for longer than 5 seconds?' It had been minutes, yet Guy just smiled and did nothing.
–BOOM–
The doors were blown open, well more like melted.
"Felix! Fight me!" Fire bit–Velgrynd stormed into the throne room, her eyes landing on Felix as she smirked and accelerated right towards him.
Using the skill, thought acceleration both Felix and Guy had a mental conversation, "You can take Guy, please do something for once."
"Nope~"
Felix wasn't about to sit still.
Just as Velgrynd's flame-cloaked fist closed the distance, she struck–
–Guy.
In the blink of an eye, Felix had swapped places with him. Guy's eyes went wide as the flaming punch connected.
Off to the side, Felix grinned as his new "friend" got what he deserved.
–KABOOM–
The whole chamber shook. The throne vaporized. A massive hole had been punched through the wall behind it, burrowing deep into the ice structure.
Velgrynd felt something was off, she knew she hit someone, but weirdly she felt it wasn't Felix, just to be sure she looked around and spotted Felix standing off to the side, he was grinning smugly at her.
She immediately shifted stance and charged off towards Felix, leaving poor Guy to pull himself out of the ice.
"What do you think you are doing?" Ice suddenly encased Velgrynd leaving only her head free, through a ripple in space Velzard appeared, she glanced at Velgrynd, then Felix who waved, then the hole as Guy emerged straightening out his jacket.
She then noticed the damage to her precious castle, her face twitched as magicules started to roll off her, she glared at Velgrynd who felt like she needed to start running.
"What. Did you. Do to. MY CASTLE!" Velgrynd shattered the ice and bolted, smashing through wall after wall like a flaming cannonball.
Velzard gave chase, her fury growing with every wall destroyed.
"So Felix, about what I was saying before." Guy walked towards Felix, ignoring the dragon's rampage, rubbing the back of his neck in the process.
Felix raised a brow, "You mean your little group of what was it?" He had honestly forgotten, despite his perfect memory, it's as if he couldn't care enough to remember it.
"Veldanava tasked me with protecting the world and its balance… And I want to get back at those pigeons." He mumbled the last part, but even though Felix heard it, he had no idea what that meant.
"Yeah, no thanks."
Guy visibly deflated, then hit him with a full pout.
Felix recoiled. "Dude. Stop. That's disgusting."
While Guy was always amused by Felix's reactions this past week, he was curious why Veldanava hadn't shown yet.
–VHOOOMM–
Space tore open once more as Felix was pulled through, the bands on his arms shining brightly.
Guy was just left there, head tilted and confused at what he just saw.
